Forests play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems, and the variables extracted from single trees can be used in various fields and applications for evaluating forest production and assessing forest ecosystem services. In this study, we developed an automated hierarchical single-tree segmentation approach based on the high density three-dimensional (3D) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) point clouds. First, this approach obtains normalized non-ground UAV points in data preprocessing; then, a voxel-based mean shift algorithm is used to roughly classify the non-ground UAV points into well-detected and under-segmentation clusters. Moreover, potential tree apices for each under-segmentation cluster are obtained with regard to profile shape curves and finally input to the normalized cut segmentation (NCut) algorithm to segment iteratively the under-segmentation cluster into single trees. We evaluated the proposed method using datasets acquired by a Velodyne 16E LiDAR system mounted on a multi-rotor UAV. The results showed that the proposed method achieves the average correctness, completeness, and overall accuracy of 0.90, 0.88, and 0.89, respectively, in delineating single trees. Comparative analysis demonstrated that our method provided a promising solution to reliable and robust segmentation of single trees from UAV LiDAR data with high point cloud density.

Summary: In this paper, a novel bimodal model is proposed to predict a complete sunspot cycle based on comprehensive precursor information. The model combines the implicit and geometric information of the solar cycle with the traditional precursor method and employs a multivariate linear approach, achieving a good performance in the prediction.

Spatial Scales of the Velocity Shear Layer and Kelvin-Helmholtz Waves on the Magnetopause: First Statistical Results

Yue Zhou, Jih-Hong Shue, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Jianyong Lu, Ming Wang, Hanxiao Zhang

Summary: Using data from the ARTEMIS spacecraft near the Moon, this study statistically analyzes the properties of Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) waves and the thickness of initial velocity shear layers on the magnetopause at lunar distance. The results show that at lunar distance, the KH waves have a larger wavelength and thickness compared to those at near-Earth magnetopause. The ratio of wavelength to thickness at lunar distance exceeds the range predicted by the linear theory, indicating that the observed KH waves are not consistent with the fastest growing mode according to linear theory. This study provides insights into the generation and development of KH waves at lunar distance.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of the annual solar eclipse on surface ozone concentration. The results show that during the eclipse, ozone concentration decreases by more than 40% for a period of 20 hours. At the same time, there is a decrease in solar radiation and temperature, while relative humidity increases. Ozone concentration shows a positive correlation with temperature and a negative correlation with relative humidity.

Temperature Variations in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere during Geomagnetic Storms with Disparate Durations at High Latitudes

Guanchun Wei, Jianyong Lu, Wenbin Wang, Yufeng Tian, Jingyuan Li, Shiping Xiong, Meng Sun, Fuzhen Shen, Zheng Li, Hua Zhang, Jingqi Cui, Chaolei Yang, Jingrui Yao, Shuwen Jiang, Zhixin Zhu, Jingye Wang

Summary: Using SABER temperature data, we investigated the response of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere to two medium geomagnetic storms with different durations. The temperature increase in the Southern hemisphere during the longer-duration storm was 40 K, while it was less than 10 K for the shorter-duration event. Simulations showed that longer-duration storms result in more particles and energy input, leading to stronger forces and faster horizontal wind, which then cause greater temperature increases in the MLT region through adiabatic heating/cooling and vertical advection. Therefore, the duration of the storm is important for understanding the temperature response in the MLT region.

Interplanetary Magnetic Field Effect on the Location of the Martian Bow Shock: MAVEN Observations

H. Y. Sui, M. Wang, J. Y. Lu, Y. Zhou, J. Wang

Summary: Based on the MAVEN mission, the intensity and orientation of the IMF have been found to affect the location and shape of the Martian bow shock. When the IMF intensity increases, the bow shock moves linearly away from Mars. Under the radial IMF condition, the subsolar and flank regions of the Martian bow shock are closer to Mars. When the Y component of the IMF is dominant, the cross section of the Martian bow shock elongates in the north-south direction.

The Northern and Southern Hemispheric Asymmetries of Mesospheric Ozone at High Latitudes During the January 2012 Solar Proton Events

Shiping Xiong, Jingyuan Li, Guanchun Wei, Jianyong Lu, Yufeng Tian, Xiaoping Zhang, Shuai Fu, Meng Sun, Zheng Li, Hua Zhang, Jingqi Cui, Shuwen Jiang, Chaolei Yang

Summary: Observations from SABER and simulations from WACCM-X were used to analyze the effects of solar proton events (SPEs) on mesospheric ozone at high latitudes. The results showed that high-latitude mesospheric ozone decreased significantly during SPEs, with a larger decrease in the North Hemisphere compared to the South Hemisphere. The simulations also revealed a significant increase in NOx and HOx during SPEs, with the changes exhibiting hemispheric asymmetries.

H. X. Zhang, J. Y. Lu, M. Wang

Summary: A parametric study is conducted to investigate the energy transfer of the solar wind across the magnetopause entering the magnetosphere. The study analyzes the distribution of mechanical and electromagnetic energy under different interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientations and compares their characteristics. The results show that the energy transfer and interaction at the magnetopause vary with the IMF orientation, and the energy distribution exhibits different patterns under different IMFs.

The Dependence of the Location and Pressure Variations of the Martian Magnetic Pileup Boundary on the Interplanetary Magnetic Field: An MHD Simulation Study

M. Wang, K. Xu, J. Y. Lu, M. X. Yin, H. Y. Sui, Z. J. Guan, J. Q. Zhang

Summary: In this paper, the effect of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) intensity and orientation on the Martian magnetic pileup boundary (r(0)) and pressure balance is studied using a three-dimensional multispecies MHD model. The results show that the magnitude of the Y or Z-component of IMF influences r(0), while the radial IMF component has little effect. The ratio of the IMF Y and Z-components to IMF intensity controls the impact of the IMF cone angle on r(0) and compression degree of the magnetic field. The difference in the IMF effect on the size of the Martian magnetic pileup boundary reveals different solar wind interactions with a magnetized and unmagnetized planet.
