Angle domain common image gathers (ADCIGs) play a crucial role in seismic exploration, offering prestack underground illumination information that aids in validating migration velocity and conducting prestack amplitude versus angle (AVA) analysis for reservoir characterization. This paper introduces an innovative approach for compensating amplitude errors caused by irregular seismic acquisition geometries in ADCIGs. By incorporating an angle domain illumination compensation factor, the proposed method effectively modifies these errors, preserving the amplitude of seismic reflectivity in the prestack angle domain. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through comprehensive tests conducted on synthetic and field data examples. The results demonstrate the capability of the method to enhance the quality of ADCIGs derived from 3D reverse time migration (RTM), yielding accurate and reliable amplitude preservation. While the illumination compensation factor assumes a vertically linear velocity model, the method holds promise for extension to more complex media and diverse migration techniques. This suggests its applicability and adaptability beyond the specific assumptions considered in this study. In conclusion, this paper presents an innovative angle domain illumination compensation factor that significantly improves the quality of ADCIGs by addressing amplitude errors arising from irregular seismic acquisition geometries. The experimental validation using synthetic and field data confirms the effectiveness of the proposed method within the context of 3D RTM. Furthermore, the technique holds potential for broader application in more complex subsurface scenarios and various migration methodologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a vital ecological barrier in China, Yellow River Basin (YRB) is strategically significant for China's national development and modernization. However, YRB has fragile ecosystems, and is sensitive to climatic change. Extreme climate events (e.g., heavy precipitation, heatwaves, and extreme hot and cold) occur frequently in this basin, but the implications (positive and negative effects) of these events on vegetation dynamics remains insufficiently understood. Combing with net primary productivity (NPP), the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and extreme climate indexes, we explored the spatio–temporal characteristics of plants' growth and extreme climate, together with the reaction of plants' growth to extreme climate in the Yellow River Basin. This study demonstrated that annual NPP and NDVI of cropland, forest, and grassland in the study region all revealed a climbing tendency. The multi-year monthly averaged NPP and NDVI were characterized by a typical unimodal distribution, with the maximum values of NPP (66.18 gC·m−2) and NDVI (0.54) occurring in July and August, respectively. Spatially, multi–year averaged of vegetation indicators decreased from southeast to northwest. During the study period, carbon flux (NPP) and vegetation index (NDVI) both exhibited improvement in most of the YRB. The extreme precipitation indexes and extreme high temperature indexes indicated an increasing tendency; however, the extreme low temperature indexes reduced over time. NPP and NDVI were negatively associated with extreme low temperature indexes and positively correlated with extreme high temperature indexes, and extreme precipitation indicators other than consecutive dry days. Time lag cross–correlation analysis displayed that the influences of extreme temperature indexes on vegetation indexes (NPP and NDVI) were delayed by approximately six months, while the effects of extreme precipitation indexes were immediate. The study outcomes contribute to our comprehension of plants' growth, and also their reaction to extreme climates, and offer essential support for evidence–based ecological management practices in the Yellow River Basin.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown outstanding feature extraction capability and become a hot topic in the field of hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, most of the prior works usually focus on designing deeper or wider network architectures to extract spatial and spectral features, which give rise to difficulty for optimization and more parameters along with higher computation. Moreover, how to learn spatial and spectral information more effectively is still being researched. To tackle the aforementioned problems, a decompressed spectral-spatial multiscale semantic feature network (DSMSFNet) for HSI classification is proposed. This model is composed of a decompressed spectral-spatial feature extraction module (DSFEM) and a multiscale semantic feature extraction module (MSFEM). The former is devised to extract more discriminative and representative global decompressed spectral-spatial features in a lightweight extraction manner, while the latter is constructed to expand the range of available receptive fields and generate clean multiscale semantic features at a granular level to further enhance the classification performance. Compared with progressive classification approaches, abundant experimental results on three benchmark datasets prove the superiority of our developed DSMSFNet model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
