Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
Based on data of the remote sensing and field surveys, we find and determine the distribution of old channels in the Jialing River. A total of 13 old channels are found and determined. They distribute mainly the reach of Langzhong - Nanchong. Meander parameters show that their meander ratio C values are all larger than 3.00, and the average value is 7.80. The C values of 4 meander belts are larger than 2.20, and the C value of the whole middle reach of ancient Jialing River that is 2.75. These values are all much larger than 1.50, which is a critical value of meandering rivers. It is suggested that the ancient Jialing River has a characteristic of meandering river pattern. In addition, it is found that the C value of the ancient river is larger than modem channel´s (It is thought that the larger C value maybe associated with the lower Gradient J value), namely, it has a lager degree of curve. It is indicated that the Jialing River had ever occurred a process of natural cutoff of river.
