Land-surface and soil processes significantly affect mesoscale local weather systems as well as global/regional climate. In this study, characteristics of land-surface models (LSMs) and soil models (SMs) that are frequently coupled into mesoscale meteorological models are investigated. In addition, detailed analyses on three LSMs, employed by the PSU/NCAR MM5, are provided. Some impacts of LSMs on heavy rainfall prediction are also discussed.

Application of linear electric motors to automation of manufacturing processes, gantry robots, machining processes, machining centers, additive manufacturing and laser scribing has been discussed. The paper focuses on replacement of ball lead screw mechanisms with linear electric motors, linear motor driven positioning stages, linear motor driven gantries, machining centers, machining of large objects and industrial lasers. The best linear electric motors for application to machining processes are permanent magnet (PM) linear synchronous motors (LSMs), especially those without PMs in the reaction tail, e.g., high thrust density linear (HDL) LSMs and PM flux switching (FS) LSMs.

In order to properly interpret and process or operators in deductive databases including indefinite clauses, we propose to use Lasez′s Strong Model Semantics(LSMS) which is reasonably simple yet powerful enough to support both exclusive and inclusive interpretations. Conventional semantics either fail to support both interpretations or simply too complex. Therefore, in this paper we study advantages and difficulties of representing indefinite information, and as for the solution to difficulties, we show how LSMS can be used to support both inclusive or and exclusive or interpretations. We also investigate and analyze it′s properties and show how it semantically differs from others. We believe that LSMS is the only "reasonably simple" semantics that supports both inclusive and exclusive interpretations.

하천공간은 하도, 사주, 식생, 하천구조물 등에 대한 특성을 지니고 있으며, 현장조사를 통해 하천공간에 대한 자료를 분석하여 기초자료를 생산한다. 기존에는 현장에서 육안조사나 지상에서 사진촬영, 스케치방법으로 하천공간특성에 대한 조사를 수행하였으나, 지상에서 조사한 자료은 하천특성에 대한 물리적·공간적 특성을 파악하기 어렵고 자료의 활용성이 낮은 한계점이 존재한다. 이와 같은 한계를 극복하기 위해 GIS 및 RS 기술을 활용한 고도화된 첨단조사 기술 및 장비가 도입되어 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천공간특성을 GIS 기반으로 객체지향 분류 적용 연구와 분류 항목에 따른 공간분석 연구를 수행하였다. 연구를 위한 대상지역은 섬진강권역의 지석천 유역 하류부에 위치하고 있는 지석천 친수공원을 대상으로 선정하였다. 대상지역의 고해상도 항공영상을 수집 및 정합한 후 QGIS에서 제공하는 Orfeo ToolBox(OTB)의 LSMS(Large Scale Mean-Shift) 기법으로 정합한 항공영상의 객체지향 영상분할을 실시하여 벡터 레이어를 생성하였고, 하천공간특성에 따른 항목을 선정하여 각 항목의 영역에 대한 선별을 통해 훈련데이터를 생성하였다. 훈련데이터는 랜덤 포레스트를 이용하여 각 항목에 대한 자동 분류를 확인하였으며, 하천공간특성의 정량적 평가를 위해 분류된 각 항목별 공간분석을 통해 면적, 위치정보(위도, 경도, 표고)를 산정하였다. 분석 결과, 하천공간특성을 GIS 기반의 벡터 레이어와 각 항목에 대한 정량적 분석을 통해 하천공간의 DB를 구축하였다. 이와 같이 하천공간 DB 구축을 통해 전국 하천관리체계를 위한 기초자료를 구축하고자 하였다.

LSMs are installed under girders along the long track. In order to improve the efficiency of the LSM, long stator LSM should be divided into the specified length and the propulsion inverters should have the system topology to generate high voltage and current for LSMs. This paper presents a system topology with two-step inverter in order to generate high voltage in inverter. A LSM propulsion system is developed and implemented in Maltab/Simulink. A system model of the two-step Inverter is applied to developed model. This paper demonstrates through simulation, advantages of multi-step inverter. The conclusions can serve the design of LSM propulsion system.

The surface runoff is one of the important components for the surface water balance. However, most Land Surface Models(LSMs), coupled to climate models at a large scale for the prediction and prevention of disasters caused by climate changes, simplistically estimate surface runoff from the soil water budget. Ignoring the role of surface flow depth on the infiltration rate causes errors in both surface and subsurface flow calculations. Therefore, for the comprehensive terrestrial water and energy cycle predictions in LSMs, a conjunctive surface-subsurface flow model at a large scale is developed by coupling a 1-D diffusion wave model for surface flow with the 3-D Volume Averaged Soil-moisture Transport(VAST) model for subsurface flow. This paper describes the new conjunctive surface-subsurface flow formulation developed for improvement of the prediction of surface runoff and spatial distribution of soil water by topography, along with basic schemes related to the terrestrial hydrologic system in Common Land Model(CLM), one of the state-of-the-art LSMs.

A grid-based configuration of Land Surface Models (LSMs) coupled with a climate model can be advantageous in impact assessment of climate change for a large scale area. We assessed the applicability of Common Land Model (CoLM) to runoff and land surface temperature (LST) simulations at the domain that encompasses the Nakdong river basin. To establish a high resolution model configuration of a $1km{\times}1km$ grid size, both surface boundary condition and atmospheric inputs from the observed weather data in 2009 were adjusted to the same resolution. The Leaf Area Index (LAI) was collected from MODerate esolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the downward short wave flux was produced by a nonstationary multi-site weather state model. Compared with the observed runoffs at the stations on Nakdong river, simulated runoffs properly responded to rainfall. The spatial features and the seasonal variations of the domain fairly well were captured in the simulated LSTs as well. The monthly and seasonal trend of LST were described well compared to the observations, however, the monthly averaged simulated LST exceeded the observed up to $2^{\circ}C$ at the 24 stations. From the results of our study, it is shown that high resolution LSMs can be used to evaluate not only quantity but also quality of water resources as it can capture the geographical features of the area of interest and its rainfall-runoff response.

Climate models, both global and regional, have increased in sophistication and are being run at increasingly higher resolutions. The Land Surface Models (LSMs) coupled to these climate models have evolved from simple bucket models to sophisticated Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) schemes needed to support complex linkages and processes. However, some underpinnings of terrestrial hydrologic parameterizations so crucial in the predictions of surface water and energy fluxes cause model errors that often manifest as non-linear drifts in the dynamic response of land surface processes. This requires the improved parameterizations of key processes for the terrestrial hydrologic scheme to improve the model predictability in surface water and energy fluxes. The Common Land Model (CLM), one of state-of-the-art LSMs, is the land component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM). However, CLM also has energy and water biases resulting from deficiencies in some parameterizations related to hydrological processes. This research presents the implementation of a selected set of parameterizations and their effects on the runoff prediction. The modifications consist of new parameterizations for soil hydraulic conductivity, water table depth, frozen soil, soil water availability, and topographically controlled baseflow. The results from a set of offline simulations are compared with observed data to assess the performance of the new model. It is expected that the advanced terrestrial hydrologic scheme coupled to the current CLM can improve model predictability for better prediction of runoff that has a large impact on the surface water and energy balance crucial to climate variability and change studies.

A split spectrum processing (SSP) method is proposed to accurately determine the time-of-flight (ToF) of damage-scattered waves by comparing the instantaneous amplitude variation degree (IAVD) of a wave signal captured from a damage case with that from the benchmark. The fundamental symmetrical ($S_0$) mode in aluminum plates without and with a notch is assessed. The efficiency of the proposed SSP method and Hilbert transform in determining the ToF of damage-scattered $S_0$ mode is evaluated for damage identification when the wave signals are severely contaminated by noise. Broadband noise can overwhelm damage-scattered wave signals in the time domain, and the Hilbert transform is only competent for determining the ToF of damage-scattered $S_0$ mode in a noise-free condition. However, the calibrated IAVD of the captured wave signal is minimally affected by noise, and the proposed SSP method is capable of determining the ToF of damage-scattered $S_0$ mode accurately even though the captured wave signal is severely contaminated by broadband noise, leading to the successful identification of damage (within an error on the order of the damage size) using a triangulation algorithm.
