The difference in climate change between these adjacent grid cells cannot be identified, thus contributing to some extent to the uncertainty of the estimated timing of individual grid cells.
The best duration and timing of the function were estimated by grid searches.
Similar to the timing of permafrost disappearance, the timings for grid cells with hazard onset later than the near-term notably advance with increasing RCP (from 2.6 to 8.5).
Because they are based on normalized cross-correlation functions, lag maps of AMUA plumes capture differences in the timing of oscillation events across the electrode grid, but not their magnitudes.
To illustrate the timing of permafrost disappearance and settlement hazard onset of each grid cell in the QTEC, we first numbered each grid (Fig. 4); the seven grid cells with observed MAGTs are labeled in bold color.
Open image in new window Fig. 6 Same as Fig. 5, except for onset timing of thermal surface settlement hazard in each QTEC grid cell.
In order to quantify the interval and timing of the tone switches with respect to the syllabic grid, the framework adopts the Fujisaki model for parameterizing F0 contours [1].
Despite employment of crushed rock embankments, nearly one-third of the region's grid cells can anticipate an ensemble mean timing of settlement prior to 2050 under the RCP8.5 scenario, which should be given more attention in future remediation planning.
Therefore, for those grid cells with a general embankment, the timing of actual settlement hazard onset should be earlier than that shown in Fig. 7, but later than that shown in Fig. 6.
The onset timing of the thermal surface settlement hazard considering remedial measures for each grid cell in the QTEC is shown in Fig. 7, where thermal settlement hazard delay after remedial measures are considered.
