TEC Map Completion Using DCGAN and Poisson Blending by Yang Pan, Mingwu Jin, Shunrong Zhang, Yue Deng

“…The results with random masks (15–40% missing data) show that DCGAN‐PB can achieve better TEC map completion than DCGAN alone, and more training data can significantly improve its generalization. For the cross‐validation experiment using the realistic mask from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)‐TEC data (~52% missing data), DCGAN‐PB achieves the average root mean squared error about three absolute TEC units (TECu) for high solar activity years and less than two TECu for low solar activity years, which is about 50% reduction of means and more than 50% reduction on standard deviations compared to two conventional single‐image inpainting methods. …”

Spatial variation of land use carbon budget and zoning for carbon compensation in the Huai River Eco-economic Belt, China by Hongwen Xu, Xiaorui Tao, Yan Lu, Yuexiang Wang, Hui Li, Zhengwei Ye

“…Results indicate that (1) Carbon emissions in the Huai River Eco-economic Belt are generally showing a downward trend, and carbon absorption rises modestly. (2) Carbon emissions exhibit a spatial distribution of higher in the western, northern and eastern regions and lower in the center zone, with large differences in carbon absorption among cities in the same year. (3) Carbon compensation types in the Huai River Eco-economic belt include 7 payment zones, 5 balanced zones and 14 compensated zones, which can be finally classified into 5 categories of carbon compensation space optimization areas by combining with the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage Index and model for zoning of carbon compensation. …”
