Using cluster analysis to organize and explore regional GPS velocities

Using Galaxy Cluster Peculiar Velocities to Constrain Cosmological Parameters

Galaxy cluster peculiar velocities can be inferred from high–sensitivity, high–resolution multiple–frequency observations in the 30 to 400 GHz range. While galaxy cluster counts and power spectra are sensitive to the growth factor, peculiar velocities are sensitive to the time–derivative of the growth factor and are hence complementary. Using linear perturbation theory, we forecast constraints ...

Ionospheric Modelling using GPS to Calibrate the MWA. II: Regional ionospheric modelling using GPS and GLONASS to estimate ionospheric gradients

We estimate spatial gradients in the ionosphere using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GLONASS (Russian global navigation system) observations, utilising data from multiple GPS stations in the vicinity of Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO). In previous work the ionosphere was characterised using a single-station to model the ionosphere as a single layer of fixed height and this ...

Cluster analysis applied to regional geochemical data: Problems and possibilities

A large regional geochemical data set of O-horizon samples from a 188,000 km2 area in the European Arctic, analysed for 38 chemical elements, pH, electrical conductivity (both in a water extraction) and loss on ignition (LOI, 480 oC), was used to test the influence of different variants of cluster analysis on the results obtained. Due to the nature of regional geochemical data (neither normal n...

Using Individual GPS Trajectories to Explore Foodscape Exposure: A Case Study in Beijing Metropolitan Area

With the growing interest in studying the characteristics of people's access to the food environment and its influence upon individual health, there has been a focus on assessing individual food exposure based on GPS trajectories. However, existing studies have largely focused on the overall activity space using short-period trajectories, which ignores the complexity of human movements and the ...
