Mars orbital image (HiRISE) labeled data set version 3.2

Please note that the file hirise-map-proj-v3_2.zip below contains the latest images and labels associated with this data set.    This dataset contains a total of 64,947 landmark images that were detected and extracted from HiRISE browse images, spanning 232 separate source images. This set was formed from 10,815 original landmarks. Each original landmark was cropped to a square bounding box that included the full extent of the landmark plus a 30-pixel margin to the left, right, top, and bottom. Each landmark was then resized to 227x227 pixels. 9,022 of these images were then augmented to generate 6 additional landmarks using the following methods: 1. 90 degrees clockwise rotation 2. 180 degrees clockwise rotation 3. 270 degrees clockwise rotation 4. Horizontal flip 5. Vertical flip 6. Random brightness adjustment The remaining 1,793 images were not augmented. Combining these with the 7*9,022 images, gives a total of 64,947 separate images. Contents: - map-proj-v3_2/: Directory containing individual cropped landmark images - labels-map-proj-v3_2.txt: Class labels (ids) for each landmark image. File includes two columns separated by a space: filename, class_id - labels-map-proj-v3_2_train_val_test.txt: Includes train/test/val labels and upsampling used for trained model. File includes three columns separated by a space: filename, class_id, set - landmarks_map-proj-v3_2_classmap.csv: Dictionary that maps class ids to semantic names Class Discussion: We give a discussion of the various landmarks that make up our classes.  Bright dune and dark dune are two sand dune classes found on Mars. Dark dunes are completely defrosted, whereas bright dunes are not. Bright dunes are generally bright due to overlying frost and can exhibit black spots where parts of the dune are defrosting. The crater class consists of crater images in which the diameter of the crater is greater than or equal to 1/5 the width of the image and the circular rim is visible for at least half the crater's circumference. The slope streak class consists of images of dark flow-like features on slopes. These features are believed to be formed by a dry process in which overlying (bright) dust slides down a slope and reveals a darker sub-surface. Impact ejecta refers to material that is blasted out from the impact of a meteorite or the eruption of a volcano. We also include cases in which the impact cleared away overlying dust, exposing the underlying surface. In some cases, the associated crater may be too small to see. Impact ejecta can also include lava that spilled out from the impact (blobby ("lobate") instead of blast-like), more like an eruption (triggered by the impact). Impact ejecta can be isolated, or they can form in clusters when the impactor breaks up into multiple fragments. Spiders and Swiss cheese are phenomena that occur in the south polar region of Mars. Spiders have a central pit with radial troughs, and they are believed to form as a result of sublimation of carbon dioxide ice. This process can produce mineral deposits on top, which look like dark or light dust that highlights cracks in the CO2 ice.  Spiders can resemble impact ejecta due to their radial troughs, but impact ejecta tends to have straight radial jets that fade as they get farther from the center.  The spider class also includes fan-like features that form when a geyser erupts through the CO2 layer and the material is blown by the wind away from the cracks. Fans are typically unidirectional (following the wind direction), whereas impact ejecta often extends in multiple directions. Swiss cheese is a terrain type that consists of pits that are formed when the sun heats the ice making it sublimate (change solid to gas). Other is a catch-all class that contains images that fit none of the defined classes of interest. This class makes up the majority of our data set.

Data set - Idealized ridge simulations with ICAR and WRF

The verification of models in general is a non-trivial task and can, due to epistemological and practical reasons, never be considered as complete. As a consequence, a model may yield correct results for the wrong reasons, i.e. by a different chain of processes than found in observations. While in the atmospheric sciences guidelines and strategies exist to maximize the chances that models are correct for the right reasons, these are mostly applicable to full-physics models, such as numerical weather prediction models. The Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research (ICAR) model is an atmospheric model employing  linear mountain wave theory to represent the wind field. In this wind field atmospheric quantities, such as temperature and moisture are advected and a microphysics scheme is applied to represent the formation of clouds and precipitation. This study conducts an in-depth process-based evaluation of ICAR, employing idealized simulations to increase the understanding of the model and develop recommendations to maximize the probability that its results are correct for the right reasons. To contrast the obtained results from the linear-theory-based ICAR model to a full-physics model, idealized simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are conducted. The impact of the developed recommendations is then demonstrated with a case study for the South Island of New Zealand. The results of this investigation suggest three modifications to improve different aspects of ICAR simulations. The representation of the wind field within the domain improves when the dry and the moist Brunt-Väisälä frequencies are calculated in accordance to linear mountain wave theory from the unperturbed base state rather than from the time-dependent perturbed atmosphere. Imposing boundary conditions at the upper boundary different to the standard zero gradient boundary condition is shown to reduce errors in the potential temperature and water vapor fields. Furthermore, the results show that there is a lowest possible model top elevation that should not be undercut to avoid influences of the model top on cloud and precipitation processes within the domain. The method to determine the lowest model top elevation is applied to both the idealized simulations as well as the real terrain case study. Notable differences between the ICAR and WRF simulations are observed across all investigated quantities such as the wind field, water vapor and hydrometeor distributions, and the distribution of precipitation. The case study indicates a large shift in the precipitation maximum for the ICAR simulation employing the developed recommendations in contrast to an unmodified version of ICAR. The cause for the shift is found in influences of the model top on cloud formation and precipitation processes in the ICAR simulations. Furthermore, the results show that when model skill is evaluated from statistical metrics based on comparisons to surface observations only, such analysis may not reflect the skill of the model in capturing atmospheric processes such as gravity waves and cloud formation.

Hydrogen sulfide exposure reduces thermal set point in zebrafish

Behavioural flexibility allows ectotherms to exploit the environment to govern their metabolic physiology, including in response to environmental stress. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a widespread environmental toxin that can lethally inhibit metabolism. However, H2S can also alter behaviour and physiology, including a hypothesised induction of hibernation-like states characterised by downward shifts of the innate thermal setpoint (anapyrexia). Support for this hypothesis has proved controversial because it is difficult to isolate active and passive components of thermoregulation, especially in animals with high resting metabolic heat production. Here, we directly test this hypothesis by leveraging the natural behavioural thermoregulatory drive of fish to move between environments of different temperatures in accordance with their current physiological state and thermal preference. We observed a decrease in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) preferred body temperature with exposure to 0.02% H2S, which we interpret as a shift in thermal setpoint. Individuals exhibited consistent differences in shuttling behaviour and preferred temperatures, which were reduced by a constant temperature magnitude during H2S exposure. Seeking lower temperatures alleviated H2S-induced metabolic stress, as measured by reduced rates of aquatic surface respiration. Our findings highlight the interactions between individual variation and sublethal impacts of environmental toxins on behaviour.
