Book Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis in Marine Science

Download or read book Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis in Marine Science written by Junyu He and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of earth observation technologies (such as satellite remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicle, autonomous underwater vehicle, etc.), an era of big data with important and non-negligible spatial/temporal attributes comes. Novel and rigorous spatiotemporal methodologies and models are needed to process and analyze marine big data. Since many marine environmental processes, such as pollutants diffusion, algae distributions etc., vary or evolve across spatiotemporal domains, detecting the distributions and patterns of marine fauna and, particularly in the coastal regions, will improve our understanding of marine systems and can be beneficial in marine environmental management. The goals of this Research Topic, therefore, are two-fold: (a) to develop methodologies and models in theory and applications, including spatiotemporal geostatistics, geographic information system, deep learning, etc.; (b) to quantitatively gain the knowledge of the marine environment. This Research Topic will provide a platform for researchers to share and exchange their new knowledge gained in a spatiotemporal domain of marine or coastal regions. This Research Topic will cover, but is not limited to, the following areas: • Spatiotemporal variations of physical/chemical/biological indicators (such as chlorophyll, temperature, salinity, colorful dissolved organic matter, suspended solids, nutrients, microplastic, etc.) in marine. • Spatiotemporal variations of potential fishing grounds in marine. • Spatiotemporal variations of the ecosystems in coastal regions, such as salt marshes, mangroves, seagrass, macroalgae, etc. • Spatiotemporal distributions of the pollutants (such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, etc.) in marine and sediments. • Spatiotemporal evolution pattern modeling and prediction of the marine disasters and abnormal phenomena (such as algal bloom, typhoons, SST anomalies, etc).

Book The Atlantic Meridional Transect Programme  1995 2023

Download or read book The Atlantic Meridional Transect Programme 1995 2023 written by Andrew Paul Rees and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1995 the Atlantic Meridional Transect program (AMT - www.amt-uk.org) has undertaken extensive measurements of oceanographic and atmospheric variables on a passage between the UK and destinations in the South Atlantic (Falkland Islands, Chile, Uruguay and South Africa). This program, which spans up to 100° of latitude, crosses a range of ecosystems from sub-polar to tropical, from eutrophic shelf seas and upwelling systems, to oligotrophic mid-ocean gyres. The AMT was originally conceived to utilise the bi-annual passage of the RRS James Clark Ross (JCR) between its home-base in the UK and its field-base in the Falklands. In 2008, cruises switched from bi-annual to annual, taking place during the boreal autumn (austral spring). Throughout the lifetime of the AMT program, the objectives have evolved to address topical research questions whilst enabling the maintenance of a continuous set of observations relevant to global environmental issues.

Book Intelligent Control and Applications for Robotics  Volume II

Download or read book Intelligent Control and Applications for Robotics Volume II written by Yimin Zhou and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by sustaining demands from industrial automation, space applications and the lack of labor forces, robotics has received increasing attention from researchers in the field of automation and control. Optimizing control schemes is critical to fully exploit the potential of industrial and daily-use robots. Usually, accuracy and repeatability are measured to evaluate the performance of a robot, and deviation of the two parameters from normal status would inevitably leads to positional error and creates a problem for the process. Moreover, the repeatability of a robot is different in various parts of the working envelope, fluctuating with speed and payload. Due to the inherent complexity, an advanced learning methodology is crucial to the self-learning and fast adaptation to disturbances.
