Sea fog is a hazardous natural phenomenon that reduces visibility, posing a threat to ports and nearshore navigation, making the identification of nearshore sea fog crucial. Millimeter-wave radar has significant advantages over satellites in capturing sudden and localized sea fog weather. The use of millimeter-wave radar for sea fog identification is still in the exploratory stage in operational fields. Therefore, this paper proposes a nearshore sea fog identification algorithm that combines millimeter-wave radar with multiple machine learning methods. Firstly, Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) is used to partition radar echoes, followed by the K-means clustering algorithm (KMEANS) to divide the partitions into recognition units. Then, Sea-Fog-Recognition-Convolutional Neural Network (SFRCNN) is used to classify whether the recognition units are sea fog areas, and finally, the partition coverage algorithm is employed to improve identification accuracy. The experiments conducted using millimeter-wave radar observation data from the Pingtan Meteorological Observation Base in Fujian, China, achieved an identification accuracy of 96.94%. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm performs well and expands the application prospects of such equipment in meteorological operations.

This paper proposes a ResGA-Net algorithm for cloud top height (CTH) retrieval using FY-4A satellite data. The algorithm utilizes genetic algorithms for data selection and employs a residual module-based neural network for modeling. It takes the spectral channel data from the FY-4A satellite as input features and uses CTH extracted from ground-based millimeter-wave cloud radar reflectivity as the target. By combining the large observation scale of the FY-4A satellite and the high accuracy of ground-based cloud radar observations, the model can generate satellite CTH products with higher precision. To validate the effectiveness of the algorithm, experiments were conducted using data from the Beijing area spanning from January 2020 to January 2022. The experimental results show that the metrics of the proposed ResGA-Net outperform those of various contrastive algorithms, and compared to the original FY-4A CTH product, the RMSE and MAE have decreased by 37.89% and 34.77%, while the PCC and SRCC have increased by 11.17% and 9.47%, respectively, demonstrating the superiority of the proposed method presented in this paper.

Blockchain oracles bridge on-chain smart contracts and off-chain data sources, but encrypted off-chain data still raises two practical challenges: how to verify retrieval integrity without exposing sensitive values, and how to keep verification information fresh when the off-chain data set changes. Existing oracle and outsourced-database retrieval mechanisms often rely on plaintext verification, heavy cryptographic proofs, or static authentication structures, which limits their applicability to latency-sensitive IoT and decentralized finance scenarios. To address these issues, this paper proposes a retrieval integrity verification mechanism based on CKKS approximate homomorphic encryption and an authenticated index named CKKS-Auth Tree. The proposed mechanism verifies encrypted query results through homomorphically aggregated metadata, while smart contracts record versioned verification commitments to detect stale or replayed results after updates. The scope of the mechanism is the integrity, completeness, privacy, and freshness of data after commitment and upload; verifying the physical authenticity of the original data source is outside the core threat model. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces authentication and verification overhead compared with existing retrieval verification methods while supporting encrypted metadata updates and on-chain synchronization.
