Abstract The gamma plane approximation introduced in this study corresponds to a nonlinear horizontal shallow flow in a plane where, in addition to the familiar linear variation of f (i.e., β), there is a quadratic variation with latitude. Such a plane may have some application to the mesoscale oceanic flow in the immediate vicinity of the North Pole because at the pole the linear gradient (β) vanishes so that the quadratic variation (γ) is the dominant gradient. It is also applicable to the flow near the center of a rotating (laboratory) tank. Exact analytical solutions analogous to the stationary barotropic mid-latitude modons (Stern, 1975) are constructed. First, it is shown that, for a modon situated slightly off the pole (i.e., both β and γ are present) the condition of stationarity (in a resting ocean) takes the form β ∫∫ Ψ dxdy — 2γ ∫∫ yΨ dxdy = 0, where Ψ is the streamfunction and x and y are Cartesian coordinates pointing eastward and northward, respectively. Secondly, it is shown that due to the presence of γ, the cyclonic cell situated to the north increases in size and engulfs the southern anticyclone which decreases in size. Namely, as the pole is approached the engulfing cyclone grows whereas the anticyclone shrinks. Ultimately, when the center of the modon (whose diameter is R) reaches a critical distance from the pole (0.1227 R) the anticyclone diminishes to merely a point. Modons that are closer than this critical distance to the pole cannot contain an anticyclone. Far away from the pole our solution reduces to the familiar mid-latitude β-plane modon as should be the case. In contrast to these dramatic effects of γ on modons, the migration of monopoles (i.e., isolated cyclones or anticyclones) is almost unaffected by γ even though γ is of the same order of (or larger than) β. This results from the fact that the γ-induced perturbations are symmetrical (with respect to north and south) whereas those due to β are asymmetrical. It is shown that, as in other eddies, self-propulsion is primarily caused by asymmetrical perturbations so that disturbances due to γ have almost no influence on the migration. 相似文献

Spur dike is an important element in fiver training that creates rapid variations in flow field, sediment transport and bed topography. The mechanism of flow and sediment transport in a channel bend is very complex, especially when a spur dike is constructed in a bend. Most of previous investigations on flow behavior and scour around spur dike were carried out in straight channels. In this paper results of experiments on flow field and scour around a spur dike in a 90 degree channel bend are presented, Sand with uniform grain size was used as the bed material, Experiments were conducted for different locations and different lengths of spur dikes at the bend with different values of discharge, The three dimensional flow fields around a spur dike were investigated, The maximum depth of scour was correlated to the Froude numbers, lengths and the locations of spur dike in the bend. 相似文献

Quantitative analysis on seismicity showed that there are several seismic dense zones in Bohai Sea. These seismic dense zones of modern small earthquakes behave prominent NE orientation, although a seismic dense zone with NW direction exists actually. Taking 39°N as a boundary, seismicity in the south is different from that in north of Bohai Sea. Almost all strong earthquakes and seismic dense zones are concentrated in the southern part. Based on archives and seismic dense characteristics, we amended the epicenter of strong earthquakes in 1548 and discussed about magnitude of the earthquake in 1888. Possibility of the event in 173 as a tsunami was discussed. The event in 1597 was doubted as a strong earthquake in Bohai Sea. 相似文献

Scour and flow field around a spur dike in a 90° bend 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Oxygen and hydrogen isotopes were used in this study to detect a hydraulic connection between a sinkhole lake and a karst spring. In karst areas, surface water that flows to a lake can drain through sinkholes in the lakebed to the underlying aquifer, and then flows in karst conduits and through aquifer matrix. At the study site located in northwest Florida, USA, Lake Miccosukee immediately drains into two sinkholes. Results from a dye tracing experiment indicate that lake water discharges at Natural Bridge Spring, a first-magnitude spring 32 km downgradient from the lake. By collecting weekly water samples from the lake, the spring, and a groundwater well 10 m away from the lake during the dry period between October 2019 and January 2020, it was found that, when rainfall effects on isotopic signature in spring water are removed, increased isotope ratios of spring water can be explained by mixing of heavy-isotope-enriched lake water into groundwater, indicating hydraulic connection between the lake and the spring. Such a detection of hydraulic connection at the scale of tens of kilometers and for a first-magnitude spring has not been previously reported in the literature. Based on the isotope ratio data, it was estimated that, during the study period, about 8.5% the spring discharge was the lake water that drained into the lake sinkholes. 相似文献

Abstract This paper presents a viable approach for flood management strategy in a river basin based on the European Floods Directive. A reliable flood management plan has two components: (a) a proper flood management strategy, and (b) the determination of the flood-hazard areas. A method to evaluate the benefits of a flood warning system is presented herein, as well as a method to estimate the flood-hazard areas. Six factors were considered in order to estimate the spatial distribution of the hazardous areas: flow accumulation, slope, land use, rainfall intensity, geology and elevation. The study area was divided into five regions characterized by different degrees of flood hazard ranging from very low to very high. The produced map of flood-hazard areas identifies the areas and settlements at high risk of flooding. The proposed methodology can be applied to any river basin and here was applied to the Koiliaris River basin in Greece. Citation Kourgialas, N. N. & Karatzas, G. P.

Experimental study on scour and flow field in a scour hole around a T-shape spur dike in a 90° bend 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
In this paper results of experimental study on scour and flow field around a T-shape spur dike in a 90 degree channel bend are presented. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory channel to measure the variations of bed topography under a clear water condition. The three dimensional flow field was measured by an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter in a scour hole due to a T-shape spur dike. It was found that by increasing the Froude number and length of spur dike the amount of scour increases. Increasing the wing length of spur dike decreases the scour. The amount of scour at the upstream of spur dike is much more as compare to that at the downstream of spur dike. By increasing the wing length of spur dike the zone of flow separation expands. As a result the sizes of vortex increase. Details of flow field are also addressed in the paper. 相似文献

A spatial data base of 1609 landslides was analysed using a geographic information system to determine landslide frequency in relation to highways. A 126 km long transportation network in a 201 km2 area of humid-tropical, mountainous, forested terrain in Puerto Rico was used in conjunction with a series of 20 buffer (disturbance) zones varying from 5 to 400 m in length, measured perpendicular to the highways. Average landslide frequency in the study area at distances greater than 85 m from roads was about six landslides per square kilometre. At distances of 85 m or less on either side of a highway, landslide frequency was about 30 landslides per square kilometre. On average, this elevated disturbance rate affected 330 m2 km−2 a−1 within the 170 m swath. The mass-wasting rate outside of the disturbance zone affected 40 m2 km−2 a−1. These results indicate that the rate of mass-wasting disturbance is increased from five to eight times in a 170 m wide swath along road corridors. The lateral extent of the environmental impact of roads in the study area is greater than is commonly perceived. The approach described herein demonstrates a simple method to assess the spatial association of mass-wasting with highways. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Using data from eddy covariance measurements in a subtropical coniferous forest, a test and evaluation have been made for the model of Carbon Exchange in the Vegetation-Soil-Atmosphere (CEVSA) that simulates energy transfers and water, carbon and nitrogen cycles based on ecophysiological processes. In the present study, improvement was made in the model in calculating LAI, carbon allocation among plant organs, litter fall, decomposition and evapotranspiration. The simulated seasonal variations in carbon and water vapor flux were consistent with the measurements. The model explained 90% and 86% of the measured variations in evapotranspiration and soil water content. However, the modeled evapotranspiration and soil water content were lower than the measured systematically, because the model assumed that water was lost as runoff if it was beyond the soil saturation water content, but the soil at the flux site with abundant rainfall is often above water saturated. The improved model reproduced 79% and 88% of the measured variations in gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Re), but only 31% of the variations in measured net ecosystem exchange (NEP) despite the fact that the modeled annual NEP was close to the observation. The modeled NEP was generally lower in winter and higher in summer than the observations. The simulated responses of photosynthesis and respiration to water vapor deficit at high temperatures were different from measurements. The results suggested that the improved model underestimated ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration in extremely condition. The present study shows that CEVSA can simulate the seasonal pattern and magnitude of CO2 and water vapor fluxes, but further improvement in simulating photosynthesis and respiration at extreme temperatures and water deficit is required. 相似文献

To compare the vertical distributions of benthos and fish species of Upper Lake Constance (Bodensee), 552 benthos samples were taken with an Auerbach grab at four transects (10–250 m). An additional 54 samples (1–10 m) were collected elsewhere. Complementary data was taken from the literature. In winter, most fish feed on benthos, mainly chironomids, but in summer less than 5% do so. Formerly the bottom gill-netting aimed mainly at catchingCoregonus pidschian, but it now aims atPerca fluviatilis. Contrary to expectation, in winter the greatest abundance ofP. fluviatilis is much deeper (55 m) than that of its preferred food, i.e. chironomids (<20 m). Comparably,C. pidschian also stayed deeper than its main food source (chironomids and mollusks).Lota lota, Salvelinus profundus andS. alpinus — unlike the unwanted cyprinids — also stay or stayed deeper than the attractive chironomids. It is argued that the fish reduce their predation risk, i.e. the risk of being gillnetted in the upper 50 m, by selecting the deeper less dangerous, but also less food-abundant habitat. Balancing predation risk against food abundance may have led to survival of the deepest. 相似文献

Evaluation of Earthquake Losses and Establishment of a Corresponding Database System 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
After the Datong-Yanggao earthquake (October 1989),a special team was organized for the first time by the SSB of China to start the work of earthquake damage evaluation for the purpose of providing the government with a scientific basis for disaster relief.The result of the evaluation played an important role in speeding up rehabilitation and reducing damage losses in the earthquake area.Based on the evaluation of earthquake damage from the Datong-Yanggao earthquake and recent research results,this paper presents a method for quick evaluation of earthquake damages,introduces software entitled EDEP (earthquake damage evaluation program) for evaluating earthquake damage,and cites a case to explain the main function and application of the EDEP.Finally,for a quicker evaluation of earthquake damages,the paper also proposes the establishment of database systems of earthquake damage evaluation in the emphatically monitored areas and ways to build up such database systems. 相似文献

Introduction Richter and Mckenzie (1978) supposed that there is a small-scale convection system in the mantle. For a long time lots of research provides observational data to infer the possibility of a small-scale convection in the upper mantle. For example, Haxby and Weissel (1986) discussed the relationship between SEASAT map and small-scale convection. Baudry and Kroenke (1991), Maia and Diament (1991) found that the geoid and bathymetry exhibit peaks in the 400~650 km range in the Pa… 相似文献

We review the observational evidence for describing the characteristics of the equatorial temperature and zonal wind anomaly (ETWA) in the low-latitude thermosphere in solar maximum and minimum periods. In spite of some new results on ETWA in the last decade, including its discovery, there is no satisfactory explanation in our understanding of the phenomenon. The two suggested mechanisms for heating at the crests of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) to form the equatorial temperature anomaly (ETA) are due to (1) the ion-drag on the zonal winds resulting in the transfer of kinetic energy into heat energy and (2) the exothermic chemical reactions involved in the dominant O+ion re-combinations. To verify which of the two suggested mechanisms is the most effective in causing ETA, it is necessary to measure simultaneously a few parameters in situ by the satellite-borne instruments. They are (1) the electron density (Ne) and temperature (Te), (2) the molecular and atomic ion densities (Nij) and ion temperatures (Ti), (3) the gas temperatures (T) and densities of the gas constituents, (4) the vector winds or at least the zonal (Z) and vertical (V) wind components and (5) the drift velocities of the ionization. These together with the simultaneous ground-based measurements, will resolve identifying not only the dominant mechanism(s) for ETWA, but also the processes responsible for the enigmatic phenomena, such as the equatorial spread-F (ESF), the midnight temperature maximum (MTM) and the possible role of the EIA in their occurrences. 相似文献

Legrand and Simon [1989. Solar cycle and geomagnetic activity: a review for geophysicists. Part I. The contributions to geomagnetic activity of shock waves and of the solar wind. Annales Geophysicae 7(6), 565–578] classified one century (1868–1978) of geomagnetic activity, using the Mayaud's Aa index, in four classes related to solar activity: (1) the magnetic quiet activity due to slow solar wind flowing around the magnetosphere, (2) the recurrent activity related to high wind speed solar wind, (3) the fluctuating activity related to fluctuating solar wind and (4) the shock activity due to shock events (CME). In this paper, we use this classification to analyse the solar–geomagnetic activity from 1978 to 2005. We found that during the last three decades the level of geomagnetic quiet activity estimated by Aa indices is decreasing: 2003 is the year of the smallest level of quiet geomagnetic activity since 1868. We compare Legrand and Simon's classification with new in situ solar wind data [Richardson, I.G., Cliver, E.W., Cane, H.V., 2000. Sources of geomagnetic activity over the solar cycle: relative importance of coronal mass ejections, high-speed streams, and slow solar wind. Journal of Geophysical research 105(A8), 18,200–18,213; Richardson, I.G., Cane, H.V., 2002. Sources of geomagnetic activity during nearly three solar cycles (1972–2000). Journal of Geophysical Research 107(A8), 1187] and find a rather good agreement. The differences are only due to minor definitions of the extent of the classes. An attempt is made at defining a more precise standard classification of solar phenomena and at defining time scales of these to understand more precisely the geomagnetic signatures of solar activity. 相似文献

Observations of currents aimed to study the flow near a spawning aggregation reef, Gladden Spit off the coast of Belize, reveal unusually strong currents on 19–20 October 2009 (the current speed was over 1?m?s?1, when the mean and standard deviation are 0.2?±?0.12?m?s?1). During this short time, the water level was raised by 60–70?cm above normal in one place, but lowered by 10–20?cm in another location just 2?km away. The temperature dropped by over 2°C within a few hours. Analyses of local and remote sensing data suggest that a rare combination of an offshore Caribbean cyclonic eddy, a short-lived local tropical storm, and a Spring tide, all occurred at the same time and creating a “perfect storm” condition that resulted in the unusual event. High-resolution simulations and momentum balance analysis demonstrate how the unique shape of the coral reef amplified the coastal current through nonlinear flow–topography interactions. The suggested mechanism for the water level change is different than the classical wind-driven storm surge process. The study has implications for the influence of external forcing on mixing processes and physical–biological interactions near coral reefs. 相似文献

Five weeks of hourly, 10-min time-exposure video images were used to analyze the meso–macro-tidal double-barred Truc Vert Beach, SW France, under intense wave forcing. The four storms experienced, one of which with an offshore significant wave height over 8 m, induced dramatic changes in the double sandbar system. The subtidal outer bar migrated offshore rapidly (up to 30–50 m/day) and its pre-existing crescentic pattern was wiped out. The seaward-protruding parts of the outer bar barely migrated offshore during the most intense storm, whereas a landward-protruding part was shed off. Over the entire study period, the outer-bar dynamics was dominated by alongshore-averaged changes rather than alongshore non-uniform changes, while the opposite was observed for the inner bar. In addition, the outer-bar dynamics was predominantly controlled by the time-varying offshore wave conditions, whereas the inner-bar dynamics was influenced largely by the tide-range variations. Our observations put forward the key role of morphological settings (the presence of a subtidal bar and its shape) and tidal range in governing inner-bar behaviour within a double sandbar dynamics, and provide strong support for previous suggestions that sandbars cannot be studied in isolation. 相似文献

Long-term trends in the ocean wave climate because of global warming are of major concern to many stakeholders within the
maritime industries, and there is a need to take severe sea state conditions into account in design of marine structures and
in marine operations. Various stochastic models of significant wave height are reported in the literature, but most are based
on point measurements without exploiting the flexible framework of Bayesian hierarchical space–time models. This framework
allows modelling of complex dependence structures in space and time and incorporation of physical features and prior knowledge,
yet remains intuitive and easily interpreted. This paper presents a Bayesian hierarchical space–time model with a log-transform
for significant wave height data for an area in the North Atlantic ocean. The different components of the model will be outlined,
and the results from applying the model to data of different temporal resolutions will be discussed. Different model alternatives
have been tried and long-term trends in the data have been identified for all model alternatives. Overall, these trends are
in reasonable agreement and also agree fairly well with previous studies. The log-transform was included in order to account
for observed heteroscedasticity in the data, and results are compared to previous results where a similar model was employed
without a log-transform. Furthermore, a discussion of possible extensions to the model, e.g. incorporating regression terms
with relevant meteorological data, will be presented. 相似文献
