We studied whether the risk of wind damage in a forested landscape could be decreased by using stand neighbourhood information in conjunction with terrain elevation information. A reference management plan minimized the differences in canopy height at stand boundaries and did not utilize information on the topography of the terrain, overlooking the possibility that the risk of windthrow may depend on the elevation of the terrain. Alternative management plans were developed by using four different weighting schemes when minimizing differences in canopy height at stand boundaries: (1) no weight (reference); (2) mean terrain elevation at the stand boundary; (3) deviation of the mean elevation of the boundary from the mean elevation of the terrain within a 100-m radius and (4) multipliers that described the effect of topography on wind speed at the stand boundary. For each management plan, we calculated the total number of at-risk trees and the total area of vulnerable stand edge. These statistics were based on the calculated critical wind speeds needed to uproot trees in stand edge zones. Minimization of the weighted mean of canopy height differences between adjacent stands resulted in homogeneous landscapes in terms of canopy height. Continuous cover management was often preferred instead of rotation management due to smaller canopy height differences between adjacent stands and its economical superiority. The best weighting scheme for calculating the mean canopy height difference between adjacent stands was the deviation between the mean elevation of the boundary and the mean elevation of the terrain within 100 m of the boundary. However, the differences between the weighting schemes were small. It was found that reasonably simple methods, based on a digital terrain model, a stand map, and the canopy heights of stands, could be used in forest planning to minimize the risk of wind damage. Validation against actual wind damages is required to assess the reliability of the results and to further develop the methodology presented.

Hence, a broad list of mitigation strategies comprising 44 action plans under seven dimensions was assessed depending upon five constraints (i.e., cost-effectiveness, time/effort required, feasibility, primary benefit, and secondary benefits). To realize the overarching aim of this research, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) each subjected to the fuzzy set theory were employed. In this regard, the fuzzy AHP was utilized for determining the weights of constraining criteria, while the prioritization of the strategies was performed via the fuzzy TOPSIS. The results revealed that the primary benefit is the most prevailing criterion compared to its counterparts. In addition, procuring organized land use planning and limiting new growth in urban areas was found as the most promising strategy to combat urban water scarcity phenomena. The findings further highlighted the effectiveness of conducting integrated water resource planning against climate change and fostering the use of sustainable materials domestically in not only mitigating urban water scarcity but also increasing the resiliency and sustainability of the urbanized cities.

Estimation of ionospheric total electron content using GNSS observations derived from a smartphone / Li Xu in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 4 (October 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 4 (October 2022) . - n° 138 Titre : Estimation of ionospheric total electron content using GNSS observations derived from a smartphone Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Li Xu, Auteur ; Jiuping Zha, Auteur ; Min Li, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 138 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] pondération [Termes IGN] série de Fourier [Termes IGN] téléphone intelligent [Termes IGN] teneur totale en électrons [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons Résumé : (auteur) The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements to determine ionospheric total electron content (TEC) are mainly derived from expensive geodetic-grade receivers, which are not conducive to high-density placement. In this work, we present an analysis of the performance of ionospheric TEC determined by GNSS dual-frequency measurements derived from the smartphone, taking the Xiaomi 8 (XMI8) as an example. First, the ionospheric observable is retrieved from the code and carrier phase data using the carrier-to-code leveling technique and a new carrier-to-noise weighting strategy instead of an elevation weighting strategy, considering the characteristic of the GNSS measurements from smartphones. Then, the absolute ionospheric slant TEC (STEC) values are isolated from the ionospheric observables by modeling with the generalized trigonometric series function. The experimental data, covering over 120 h, were taken from two situations: one is the data collected by the original smartphone antenna; the other is the external geodetic-grade antenna. The TEC data obtained from the collocated geodetic-grade receiver are used as reference data to evaluate the performance of the TEC values from XMI8. Compared to the reference data, the evaluation results show that the ionospheric STEC extraction accuracy can reach total electron content unit (TECU) values of 0.17 and 0.11 under the two different situations in the continuous carrier phase satellite arc without cycle slips. In addition, the VTEC modeling accuracy is above 5 and 2 TECU in the two different situations, respectively. Thus, we concluded that consumer-level GNSS chipsets are highly potential in the future to increase the ionospheric monitoring station density due to their low costs and good data quality.

In this study, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and Global Positioning System (GPS) datasets are used to assess the impact of seasonal loading on deformation with seismicity in Nepal. The recorded GPS data from 21 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations during 2017–2020 are processed with respect to ITRF14 and the Indian reference frame, and the Center for Space Research (CSR) mascon RL06 during 2002–2020 is adopted to estimate the terrestrial water storage (TWS) change over the Ganga-Brahmaputra River basin. The results indicate that the hydrological loading effect or TWS change shows high negative, high positive, and moderately positive values in pre-monsoon, co-monsoon, and post-monsoon months, respectively. The detrended GPS data of both horizontal and vertical components correlate with the seasonal TWS change using the Pearson correlation coefficient at each GNSS site. In addition, the correlation coefficient has been interpolated using inverse distance weighting to investigate the regional TWS influence on geodetic displacement. In the north component, the correlation coefficient ranges from −0.6 to 0.6. At the same time, the TWS is positively correlated with geodetic displacement (0.82) in the east component, and the correlation coefficient is negative (−0.69) in the vertical component. The negative correlation signifies an inverse relationship between seasonal TWS variation and geodetic displacements. The strain rate is estimated, which shows higher negative values in pre-monsoon than in post-monsoon. Similarly, the effect of seismicity is 47.90% for pre-monsoon, 15.97% for co-monsoon, and 17.56% for post-monsoon. Thus we can infer that the seismicity decreases with the increase of seasonal hydrological loading. Furthermore, the effect of strain is much higher in pre-monsoon than in post-monsoon since the impact of co-monsoon continues to persist on a small scale in the post-monsoon season.

Can machine learning improve small area population forecasts? A forecast combination approach / Irina Grossman in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 95 (July 2022)

Small area population forecasting faces numerous challenges, including complex underlying demographic processes, data sparsity, and short time series due to changing geographic boundaries. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for small area forecasting which combines proven demographic forecasting methods, an exponential smoothing based algorithm, and a machine learning based forecasting technique. The proposed forecasting combination contains four base models commonly used in demographic forecasting, a univariate forecasting model specifically suitable for forecasting yearly data, and a globally trained Light Gradient Boosting Model (LGBM) that exploits the similarities between a collection of population time series. In this study, three forecast combination techniques are investigated to weight the forecasts generated by these base models. We empirically evaluate our method, by preparing small area population forecasts for Australia and New Zealand. The proposed framework is able to achieve competitive results in terms of forecasting accuracy. Moreover, we show that the inclusion of the LGBM model always improves the accuracy of combination models on both datasets, relative to combination models which only include the demographic models. In particular, the results indicate that the proposed combination framework decreases the prevalence of relatively poor forecasts, while improving the reliability of small area population forecasts.
