Study of Low-Level Wind Shear and Its Evolution Based on LIDAR and Aircraft Reports Identification by Jie DING, Lei ZHANG, Zeyong HU, Jiemin WANG, Kaijun ZHANG, Jiening LIANG, Yuan WANG, Zhida ZHANG, Lili XU, Jin WANG, Tao CAI

“…Low-level wind shear significantly impacts aviation safety and operational efficiency.Zhongchuan Airport， located in a mountainous inland region， experiences the influence of complex terrain and weather systems.Wind shear is frequently observed during the summer season.This study analyzes the spatial and temporal characteristics of low-level wind shear events at Zhongchuan Airport using aircraft reports spanning from 2009 to 2018.During the observation period from May 2016 to November 2017， a total of 18 low-level wind shear events were confirmed through aircraft verification.Two methods， namely the fixed and adaptive window methods， were compared to identify wind shear events using LIDAR data from the Windcube 400s-at instrument.The study also explored the continuous evolution and spatial characteristics of the three-dimensional wind shear structure.The results indicate that the frequency of low-level wind shear events has increased at a faster rate compared to the flight volume at Zhongchuan Airport over the past ten years.The peak months for low-level wind shear events at Zhongchuan Airport are April-July and August-October， influenced by local weather patterns.The peak months for low-level wind shear events at Zhongchuan Airport are April-July and August-October， influenced by local weather patterns.Wind shear induced by convective weather occurs in the weak or non-echo region surrounding the convective cloud， resulting from the convergence of updrafts and downdrafts outside the cloud， or the formation of a gust front following the downdraft's contact with the ground.The wind shear factor is correlated with the intensity of radar echoes.Compared to the fixed window method， the adaptive window method had a larger recognition range due to the different data sets included in the recognition window.Therefore， the adaptive window method was found to be more suitable for studying the three-dimensional evolution of wind shear structures.Therefore， the adaptive window method is better suited for studying the evolution of the three-dimensional wind shear structure.The wind shear in the vicinity of Zhongchuan Airport is characterized by a low spatial distribution， small horizontal scale， and short duration， primarily concentrated in the small-scale and γ mesoscale.In other words， the wind shear events occurred at relatively low altitudes， with horizontal scales mostly ranging between 1000~1500 m and 2000~2600 m， lasting less than 20 minutes.Furthermore， 40.5% of the wind shear events were attributed to the movement of the wind， primarily influenced by the background wind.The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the characteristics of wind shear， offering valuable insights for the identification， mechanisms， forecasting， and early warning of low-level wind shear events at Zhongchuan Airport.…”

Evolution of Acoustic Emission Characteristics During Soil Shear Testing Based on Active Waveguide System by WU Xin, LIU Yonghong, WANG Xuemei, ZHANG Man

“…The primary objectives are to 1) characterize the behavior of AE signals, including ring count, energy, and <italic>b</italic>‒value, during the soil shear process, 2) analyze the influence of water content and loading rate on AE signal evolution, as these factors significantly affect soil stability, 3) establish a theoretical framework for selecting characteristic indicators that enhance the predictive capabilities of AE technology in monitoring soil slope stability, 4) support the development of more effective monitoring and early warning systems for soil slope sliding, improving the safety and management of infrastructure and human settlements in landslide-prone areas.MethodsThrough a systematic experimental approach, the study aimed to uncover the multifactorial dynamics of AE signals during soil shear, providing valuable insights for the application of AE technology in geotechnical engineering and slope stability assessments. …”

Structure of campus network based on reconfigurable architecture by Hu-sheng YUAN, Hua FENG, Hui LI, Zhi-bin ZHONG, Kai PAN

“…Because of the petrifaction of the existing network,it is difficult to achieve the controllability,adaptability and expansibility in current structure.Simultaneously,in order to have better campus network services in teaching,researching and studying,a new structure based on reconfigurable architecture for campus network was designed based on service set handling capacity of various kinds of business in reconfigurable network as the central idea.After the evolution from tradition to flat structure,a more condensed structure was proposed by adopting virtualization technology on switches and routers.It has the advantages of high performance,high reliability,manageability and augmentability.…”

Deformation and Evolution of Akata Formation Mudstone in the Niger Delta Basin: Insights from Analogue Models by Shuaiyu Shi, Wenlong Ding, Yixin Yu, Jixin Zhang

“…A relatively thick overburden leads to enhanced gravity spreading, which in turn leads to the formation of larger and more numerous mudstone structures. The formation and evolution of mudstone structures in the Niger Basin involved through three stages: (1) during the Paleocene–Middle Oligocene, thick marine mudstone was deposited; (2) in the Middle Oligocene–Late Oligocene, the mudstone and overlying layers were strongly deformed, and numerous mudstone structures developed with tectonic zonation; and (3) since the Pliocene, the tectonic activity in the basin weakened. …”
