Observational Properties of Harmonic EMIC Waves: Statistical Study

Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are discrete electromagnetic emissions separated by multiple ion gyrofrequencies. Harmonic EMIC waves are defined as waves with a strong electric or magnetic field (or both) at the harmoni...

Numerical simulation of irregular section underground structure shaking table test model

Based on the the large shaking table test results on irregular section subway station structure in soft soil, an overall time-history numerical simulation is conducted to study the nonlinear dynamic interaction of the soil-irregular undergr...

Excitation thresholds of field-aligned irregularities and associated ionospheric hysteresis at very high latitudes observed using SPEAR-induced HF radar backscatter

On 10 October 2006 the SPEAR high power radar facility was operated in a power-stepping mode where both CUTLASS radars were detecting backscatter from the SPEAR-induced field-aligned irregularities (FAIs). The effective radiated power of...

Observations on Stratospheric-Mesospheric-Thermospheric temperatures using Indian MST radar and co-located LIDAR during Leonid Meteor Shower (LMS)

The temporal and height statistics of the occurrence of meteor trails during the Leonid meteor shower revealed the capability of the Indian MST radar to record large numbers of meteor trails. The distribution of radio meteor trails du...

FROM BARCHAN TO DOMIC SHAPE: EVOLUTION OF A COASTAL SAND DUNE IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL BASED ON GPR SURVEY

ABSTRACT A sand dune located near São Bento do Norte and Caiçara do Norte towns (northern coastal region of Rio Grande do Norte state, Northeastern Brazil) is rapidly migrating toward urban areas. To understand the depositional processes (e...

Seismic-induced accelerations detected by two parallel gravity meters in continuous recording with a high sampling rate at Etna volcano

We analyse a microgravity data set acquired from two spring LaCoste & Romberg gravity meters operated in parallel at the same site on Etna volcano (Italy) for about two months (August – September 2005). The high sampling rate acquisitio...

Estimation of the Thickness of the Lunar Uppermost Basalt Layer Based on Lunar Radar Sounder Observations

Research on lunar basalt thickness and subsurface features is of great significance to conclude the magma evolution history and explore the thermal evolution process of the Moon. The mission of Lunar Radar Sounder (LRS) made subsurface dete...

Review of progress in passive seismic reflection exploration

Seismic exploration is a key method for the study of underground structures. Active seismic surveys can acquire high signal-to-noise ratio reflection data; however, the operation of active seismic surveys is complicated, and the exploration...

Two-Stage Framework for Efficient UAV-Based Wildfire Video Analysis With Adaptive Compression and Fire Source Detection

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in disaster emergency response by facilitating aerial video analysis. Due to the limited computational resources available on UAVs, large models cannot be run efficiently fo...

A Multi-Frequency Tomographic Inverse Scattering Using Beam Basis Functions

We present an overview of a beam-based approach to ultra-wide band (UWB) tomographic inverse scattering, where beam-waves are used for local data-processing and local imaging, as an alternative to the conventional plane-wave and Green’s fun...

Correlations Between Subduction of Linear Oceanic Features and Arc Volcanism Volume Around the Pacific Basin

Abstract Arc volcanoes, created by magma generated from the dehydration of subducting slabs, show great variability in their sizes and along‐arc spatial distributions. In this study, we address a fundamental question, namely, how do subduct...

The solar wind plasma density control of night-time auroral particle precipitation

DMSP F6 and F7 spacecraft observations of the average electron and ion energy, and energy fluxes in different night-time precipitation regions for the whole of 1986 were used to examine the precipitation features associated with solar win...

MFEFNet: An Efficient Network for Infrared Small Target Detection With Multiview Feature Extraction and Multiscale Attention Fusion

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains a core challenge in remote sensing, mainly due to low signal-to-noise ratios, small target sizes, background interference, and large-scale variations. Although existing methods have achieved p...

The Beginning of a Wilson Cycle in an Accretionary Orogen: The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean Opened Assisted by a Devonian Mantle Plume

Abstract The opening of oceans within accretionary orogens is important for understanding the Wilson cycle. The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) began opening within the early Paleozoic accretionary collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAO...

Neural computing in geophysics

The 17th century philosopher-mathematician Rene Descartes offered the statement “Cogito, ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am” as proof of his personal existence. While modern computers using artificial intelligence technologies cannot mat...

Reservoir geophysics

Abstract The concept of petroleum reservoir geophysics is relatively new. In the past, the role of geophysics was largely confined to exploration and, to a lesser degree, the development of discoveries. As cost-efficiency has taken over as ...
