Characteristics and drainage modes of coalbed methane resources in closed coal mines in Yangquan and Jincheng Mining Areas by Yang WANG, Jie XIANG, Yong QIN, Shangbin CHEN, Yanming ZHU, Manli HUANG, Ying SHI

“…The ratio I of the sum of pore-fracture volume in the caving zone and fracture zone of gob to the working face volume in thick coal seam ranges from 0.53 to 0.73, while that in medium-thick coal seam is generally greater than 0.90. The in-situ coalbed methane is mainly adsorbed in the pores of coal matrix. …”

Comprehensive Evaluation of GPM-IMERG, CMORPH, and TMPA Precipitation Products with Gauged Rainfall over Mainland China by Guanghua Wei, Haishen Lü, Wade T. Crow, Yonghua Zhu, Jianqun Wang, Jianbin Su

“…Results illustrate the following. (1) Except for IMERG V04A’s severe underestimation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and Xinjiang (XJ) with high negative relative biases (RBs) and CMORPH-CRT’s overestimation over XJ with high positive RB, the four satellite-based precipitation products generally capture the same spatial patterns of precipitation over China. (2) At the annual scale over China, the IMERG products do not show an advantage over its predecessor (TRMM 3B42) in terms of RMSEs, RRMSEs, and Rs; meanwhile, the performance of IMERG products is worse than TRMM 3B42 in spring and summer according to the RMSE, RRMSE, and R metrics. …”
