  • Evaluation and Validation of Cryosat-2-Derived Water Levels Using in Situ Lake Data from China

In this study, a concentrated probability density function (PDF) method was proposed for preprocessing CryoSat-2 Geophysical Data Record (GDR) data. CryoSat-2 altimetry water levels were preprocessed and evaluated by in situ gauge data from 12 lakes in China. Results showed that the accuracy of the raw GDR data was limited due to outliers in most of the along-track segments. The outliers were generally significantly lower than the in situ values by several meters, and some by more than 30 m. Outlier detection, therefore, improves upon the accuracy of CryoSat-2 measurements. The concentrated PDF method was able to greatly improve the accuracy of CryoSat-2 measurements. The preprocessed CryoSat-2 measurements were able to observe lake levels with a high accuracy at nine of the twelve lakes, with an absolute mean difference of 0.09 m, an absolute standard deviation difference of 0.04 m, a mean root mean square error of 0.27 m, and a mean correlation coefficient of 0.84. Overall, the accuracy of CryoSat-2-derived lake levels was validated in China.

Decreasing transparency occurs throughout the world and has become the primary water quality issue for many freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems due to eutrophication and other human activities. Lake Hongze is the fourth largest freshwater lake in China, providing water for surrounding cities and farms but experiencing significant water quality changes. However, there are very few studies about Lake Hongze’s transparency due to the lack of long-term monitoring data for the lake.

Received: 27 June 2017; Accepted: 16 August 2017; Published: 22 August 2017 Abstract: The Interconnected River System Network Project (IRSNP) is a significant water supply engineering project, which is capable of effectively utilizing flood resources to generate ecological value, by connecting 198 lakes and ponds in western Jilin, northeast China. In this article, an optimization research approach has been proposed to maximize the incremental value of IRSNP ecosystem services. A double-sided chance-constrained integer linear program (DCCILP) method has been proposed to support the optimization, which can deal with uncertainties presented as integers or random parameters that appear on both sides of the decision variable at the same time. The optimal scheme indicates that after rational optimization, the total incremental value of ecosystem services from the interconnected river system network project increased 22.25%, providing an increase in benefits of 3.26 × 109 ¥ compared to the original scheme. Most of the functional area is swamp wetland, which provides the greatest ecological benefits. Adjustment services increased obviously, implying that the optimization scheme prioritizes ecological benefits rather than supply and production services.

China Received 18 August 2003; received in revised form 6 December 2004; accepted 16 December 2004 Abstract Archaeological excavations and environment–archaeology studies over many years in the Yangtze Delta region have provided exceptional information about climatic variations, growth and demise of human civilization and human–environment interactions. The archaeological excavations show that the cultural layers of the Neolithic sites are interrupted by barren layers without any cultural relics (so-called cultural interruptions), which may be the result of harsh environmental conditions (arid, flooding, extreme cold or warmth). Temporal and spatial analyses of 14C-dates for buried trees, peat, shell ridges, and Neolithic sites show that environmental changes are responsible for the rise and fall of human civilization. The progress of human civilization was interrupted at least 5 times in the Yangtze Delta, matching 5 periods of high sea level, peat accumulation, and burial of trees. The collapse of the Liangzhu culture about 4000 BP was followed by the less- developed Maqiao culture and resulted from extreme environmental and hydrological conditions such as floods.

The water levels of lakes along the eastern route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (ER-SNWDP) are expected to rise significantly and subsequently affect the processes of flood control and drainage in corresponding lake basins. However, few studies have focused on the impacts of inter-basin water diversion on the flood control and drainage of water-receiving areas at the lake basin scale. Using MIKE software, this paper builds a coupled hydrodynamic model to address the existing literature gap regarding the impacts of inter-basin water diversion on the processes of flood control and 15 drainage in a water-receiving lake basin, and it considers the many types of hydraulic structures in the model. First, a flood simulation model was constructed to simulate the complex movement of water transferred by the ER-SNWDP, by waterlogging in the lakeside area around Nansi Lake (NL) and water in the NL and its tributaries. The ER-SNWDP was also considered in the model. Second, the model was calibrated and verified with measurement data, and the results showed that the model was efficient and presented a Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE) between 0.65 and 0.99.

Abstract Lake vulnerability is one of the significant issues in China, more and more lakes are polluted seriously. This paper comprehensively analyzes the vulnerable degree of lakes located in the middle-lower Yangtze River catchment. Firstly, the factors influencing lake vulnerability are explored. Then based on the references and materials collected, this study used the weight data and grading data to assess the vulnerable degree of lakes. Thirdly, the area percentage of impervious surface was employed to represent the intensity of human activities. Lastly, C4.5 decision tree algorithms were applied to get classification matrix which can be used to estimate the categories of all the lakes in the middle-lower Yangtze River catchment.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Environmental Sciences 2 (2010) 315–332 International Society for Environmental Information Sciences 2010 Annual Conference (ISEIS) A comparative analysis on spatial patterns and processes of three typical wetland ecosystems in 3H area, China Ainong Li a*, Wei Deng a, Bo Kong a, Mengqiang Song a, Wenlan Fengb, Xiaoning Lub, Guangbin Leia, Junhong Baic a Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS, Chengdu 610041, China b Department of Environmental Engineering, CUIT, Chengdu 610225, China c College of Resources Science and Technology, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, China Abstract The comparative study on the different components in spatial pattern is of paramount importance to the revealing of the interaction and feedback mechanism among the different components, and it is very useful for us to understand the overall correlation between structure-function and pattern-process of the wetland system. By selecting the wetland system in the estuary of Yellow River Delta, Huaihe-Hongze river-lake and Baiyangdian lake-marsh as typical regions, this study analyze comparatively on the similarities, the differences and the internal connections of the three major typical wetland systems in 3H Area in view of the characteristics of the wetland landscape spatial pattern and their changes. The study utilizes totally six periods of remote sensing images (during 1970s-2000s) to interpret the chronological spatial data of the wetland system landscape over the recent 30 years, and also apply the approach of classic landscape ecology method to analyze the spatial pattern status and the scenario playback of the wetland system in each typical region.
