Ice-covered transmission lines seriously affect the normal operation of the power transmission system. Resonance deicing based on different ice thicknesses is an effective method to solve the issue of ice-covered transmission lines. In order to obtain accurate ice thickness of transmission lines, this paper designs an ice thickness of transmission line recognition model based on Global Micro Strip Awareness Net (GMSA-Net) and proposes a Mixed Strip Convolution Module (MSCM) and a global micro awareness module (GMAM).

After "spikes" caused by micro-level events are removed, the distribution of the retained under-ice noise related to macro-level events can be described satisfactorily by a Gaussian distribution, as verified by Q-Q plots and kurtosis/skewness analysis. We use sliding window analysis to deal with the features of under-ice ambient noise and model the data by Gaussian interpolation.

This study proposes a deep learning-based multi-input neural network model to address this problem. The newly proposed model is predicted by combining a stacked autoencoder and a long- and short-term memory network.

This article introduces the development and application of an unmanned control system suitable for inland Antarctica. The system is called RIOD (emote Control, mage Acquisition, peration Maintenance, and ocument Management System) for short.

However, few high-precision temperature sensors can complete the observation of temperature profile of sea ice, especially in extreme environments. At present, the most widely used sea ice observation instruments can reach an accuracy of sea ice temperature measurement of 0.

However, sea ice temperature profiles measured by ice-tethered buoys are rarely used to infer snow depth and sea ice thickness owing to the lack of automatic discrimination algorithms, restricting the use of the data for sea ice thermodynamics studies. In this study, snow depth and sea ice thickness were retrieved through the measurements of sea ice temperature profiles using discrimination algorithms of the change point and the maximum likelihood detection methods.

However, only limited knowledge is available on the physiological characteristics of this kind of methanogenic community because of the technical constraints associated with sampling and cultivation under corresponding environmental conditions. To elucidate methanogenesis beneath the glacial margin in East Antarctic Ice Sheet, we took an integrated approach that included cultivation of microbes associated with the sediment samples in the lab and analysis of gene therein.
