Despite their widespread use, uncertainties exist in the literature concerning the spatial variation of three-dimensional (3D) mean flow characteristics. This study attempts to address this gap by conducting a comparative analysis of three simplified LREs—quasi-spherical boulder, artificial vegetation patch, and wooden log—focusing on their effects on downstream mean flow characteristics. The findings of this research reveal notable deviations in streamwise, transverse, and vertical downstream velocity profiles for each LRE compared to reference velocity profiles. These deviations eventually tend to realign with the reference velocity profiles. Each LRE exhibited a distinctive trend for downstream depth-averaged velocity in each direction. The reach averaged shear velocity downstream of the boulder was the highest among the three LREs, followed by the wooden log and then the vegetation patch. The streamwise velocity profiles for each LRE do not adhere to the typical logarithmic velocity distribution of von Karman–Prandtl. Particularly, the wooden log generates the largest wake zone and exhibits a higher streamwise velocity deficit compared to other LREs. Moreover, it demonstrates the highest divergence from reference transverse velocity, resulting in an extended recirculation zone. These observations suggest that the use of wooden logs has the potential to enhance habitat diversity in natural streams and can be effectively integrated into stream restoration projects aimed at improving aquatic ecosystems, thereby contributing to the sustainable management of river environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6988,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geophysica","volume":"72 6","pages":"4559 - 4573"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The geographical location within Iran, especially distance from moisture sources and different atmospheric systems, influences cloudiness such that TCC decreases from north to south and from west to east. With respect to seasons, the highest and lowest average TCC is observed in winter and summer, respectively. The annual trend analysis reveals a decreasing trend in TCC (i.e., Mann–Kendall’s tau is negative: −0.40 per decade). On the monthly scale, a statistically significant decrease in TCC occurs during January, February, March, June, August, November, and December. There is a significant decreasing trend in all seasons, among which the maximum decreasing trend is observed in the summer season with a value of −0.31 per decade. Examining the trends of climatic variables shows that on all three temporal scales (annual, seasonal, and monthly) the number of rainy days (NRD) decreases and temperature (T) increases. Spatial analysis of trends (seasonal, annual) suggests the highest decrease in TCC in the west, northwest, east, and southeast, whereas the lowest decrease is in the center of Iran. Spatially, the T trend (annually and spring, summer, and winter seasons) indicates a consistent increase in temperature in the central and eastern parts of Iran. The spatial trend (annual and seasonal) of NRD in the limited parts of northwestern Iran exhibits the highest increasing trend.

Due to the complex link between microseismicity and the rockburst occurrence, prediction of short-term rockburst severity is always challenging. It is, therefore, necessary to develop an intelligent model that can predict rockbursts with high accuracy. Besides the predicting capability, it is essential to understand the model’s interpretability regarding the decisions to ensure reliability, trust and accountability. Accordingly, this paper employs the knowledge of explainable artificial intelligences (XAI) by proposing a novel glass-box machine learning model: explainable boosting machine (EBM) to predict the short-term rockburst. Microseismic (MS) data obtained from the underground engineering projects are utilized to build the model, which is also compared with the black-box random forest (RF) model. The result shows that EBM can accurately predict the rockburst severity with high accuracy, while providing with the underlined reasoning behind the prediction from the global and local perspectives. The EBM global explanation reveals that MS energy followed by MS apparent volume and the MS events is the most contributing factor to determining the Rockburst severity. It also gives insights into the relationship between MS factors and rockburst risks, delivering how various MS parameters impact the model predictions. The local explanation extracts the understanding of wrongly predicted samples. The interpretability and transparency of the proposed method will facilitate understanding the model’s decision which adds effective guidance evaluating the short-term rockburst risks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6988,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geophysica","volume":"72 4","pages":"2597 - 2618"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140882561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the lieu of changing characteristic of meteorological, hydrological and socio-economic condition of Delhi city, this study entails much needed analysis of daily rainfall intensity, frequency and duration, waterlogging area estimation, hazard and vulnerability mapping and spatial risk susceptibility mapping in frequently affected area of North Delhi as a study region. Microspatial scale assessment at urban municipal wards using analytical hierarchy process for weight criteria assignment was done by selecting 19 parameters. The final risk susceptibility map revealed that the north and north-western part of North Delhi are at very high risk which is evident with frequent waterlogging incidences too. An area of 282.56 square kilometres accounting 52.75 per cent is estimated to be at high- and very high-risk category.

The region falls under seismic zone III, indicating moderate seismicity, and is reported to have witnessed several small to moderate size magnitude earthquakes. Eight local earthquakes with magnitudes ranging between 2 and 3.6 were used during the data analysis of this study. Four key parameters were primarily estimated from the earthquake signals, providing an overall idea about the source characteristics, i.e., seismic moment, stress drop, corner frequency, and source radius. Our estimated moment magnitudes (<i>M</i><sub>w</sub>) range between 2 and 3.4, which are consistent with the reported local magnitude (<i>M</i><sub>L</sub>) scale, indicating a minor difference between <i>M</i><sub>W</sub> and <i>M</i><sub>L</sub> scale. The estimated variations in seismic moment align well with the global model of micro-earthquakes, ranging between 1.2E + 15 and 1.1E + 17 dyn-cm. The source radius mostly varies between 110 and 220 m, with seismic moment exhibiting a linear increase as source size grows. This suggests a clear dependence of seismic moment on the radius of the source. It is likely that the brittle shear-failure mechanism on the fault segment and/or the presence of weak zones would contribute to local earthquakes with smaller source radius. Stress drops for most of the events are relatively low in the study region, ranging from 0.3 to 4.5 bars. The initiation of rupture is evident along an existing fault plane, potentially acting as a contributing factor to the observed lower stress drop values. The stress drop variable with a positive correlation to the seismic moment of the event might indicate a wide range of strength of the crustal rock in the region. Interestingly, both the corner frequency (<i>f</i><sub>c</sub>) and maximum frequency (<i>f</i><sub>max</sub>) decrease as seismic moment increases, indicating that both are related to the source process and possibly influenced by the site effects. Finally, we can suggest that the derived source parameters can be utilized to simulate ground motion parameters of historical events, thereby enhancing seismic hazard assessment and facilitating earthquake engineering analyses in future research initiatives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6988,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geophysica","volume":"72 6","pages":"3943 - 3956"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11600-024-01348-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140810549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
