In order to study historical flood-frequency records we plot the log of the number of floods on a river per unit time in which the peak discharge exceeds a specified value against the log of that value. For ten benchmark stations we find good correlations with scale-invariant (fractal) statistics. We suggest that the underlying physical processes associated with the generation of floods are sufficiently scale invariant over time scales from one to one hundred years that they provide a rational basis for the application of scale-invariant statistics. Our results fall within the range of flood-frequency estimates made by other statistical techniques. We propose that the ratio of the ten-year peak discharge to the one-year peak discharge is a quantitative measure of flood potential. With scale invariance is also the ratio of the one-hundred year flood to the ten-year flood. We find that the values of for ten stations on rivers throughout the country range from 2.04 to 8.11 and find strong regional variations that can be correlated in terms of climate. Our results are consistent with the observed fractal statistics in sedimentary sections. We have also carried out R/S analyses for the ten stations and have obtained values of the Hurst exponent. We find that the Hurst exponent cannot be used for flood-frequency forecasting.  相似文献

Summary To clarify the ionization equilibrium near the ground, simultaneous measurements of the rate of ion pair production (q), the concentrations of small ions (n) and condensation nuclei (Z), and the diffusion coefficient of condensation nuclei (D) were carried out at several stations in the central area of Japan. The total rate of ion pair production (q) was estimated fromq=q(Rn)+q(Tn)+q()+q(+CR). The value ofq was estimated as 10J to 20J. The mean life () and the effective attachment coefficient () of small ions were also estimated at each station. Correlations amongn, Z, q, andD were also studied. If we take the variation ofD into consideration, the correlation was expressed by the simple formula;q=n Z. The dependence of upon size of nuclei (2r) were also measured, and was found to correlate well withD orr.  相似文献

Fundamental-mode Rayleigh wave attenuation data for stable and tectonically active regions of North America, South America, and India are inverted to obtain several frequency-independent and frequency-dependentQ models. Because of trade-offs between the effect of depth distribution and frequency-dependence ofQ on surface wave attenuation there are many diverse models which will satisfy the fundamental-mode data. Higher-mode data, such as 1-Hz Lg can, however, constrain the range of possible models, at least in the upper crust. By using synthetic Lg seismograms to compute expected Lg attenuation coefficients for various models we obtained frequency-dependentQ models for three stable and three tectonically active regions, after making assumptions concerning the nature of the variation ofQ with frequency.In stable regions, ifQ varies as , where is a constant, models in which =0.5, 0.5, and 0.75 satisfy fundamental-mode Rayleigh and 1-Hz Lg data for eastern North America, eastern South America, and the Indian Shield, respectively. IfQ is assumed to be independent of frequency (=0.0) for periods of 3 s and greater, and is allowed to increase from 0.0 at 3 s to a maximum value at 1 s, then that maximum value for is about 0.7, 0.6, and 0.9, respectively, for eastern North America, eastern South America, and the Indian Shield. TheQ models obtained under each of the above-mentioned two assumptions differ substantially from one another for each region, a result which indicates the importance of obtaining high-quality higher-mode attenuation data over a broad range of periods.Tectonically active regions require a much lower degree of frequency dependence to explain both observed fundamental-mode and observed Lg data. Optimum values of for western North America and western South America are 0.0 if is constant (Q is independent of frequency), but uncertainty in the Lg attenuation data allows to be as high as about 0.3 for western North America and 0.2 for western South America. In the Himalaya, the optimum value of is about 0.2, but it could range between 0.0 and 0.5. Frequency-independent models (=0.0) for these regions yield minimumQ values in the upper mantle of about 40, 70, and 40 for western North America, western South America, and the Himalaya, respectively.In order to be compatible with the frequency dependence ofQ observed in body-wave studies,Q in stable regions must be frequency-dependent to much greater depths than those which can be studied using the surface wave data available for this study, andQ in tectonically active regions must become frequency-dependent at upper mantle or lower crustal depths.On leave from the Department of Geophysics, Yunnan University, Kunming Yunnan, People's Republic of China  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Mit Durchsichtigkeitsmessungen wird die durch Absorption und Streuung verursachte Gesamtextinktion eines Lichtstrahls im Meerwasser erfat. Als Mazahl der Extinktion eignet sich der physikalische Extinktionskoeffizient. Dem Ziel, geräteunabhängige absolute Mewerte zu erhalten, kann man im sichtbaren Teil des Spektrums durch Eichung der. Durchsichtigkeitsmegeräte mit einem Pulfrich-Photometer näher kommen. Doch bleibt die Genauigkeit der Mewerte besonders durch die Schwerpunktsverschiebungen, die für verschiedene mittlere Durchlässigkeiten des Meerwassers berechnet und tabellarisch zusammengestellt werden, und durch die technischen Eigenschaften der Megeräte und Photoelemente beschränkt. Es wird ein Meprinzip angegeben, das diese Nachteile weitgehend vermeidet und gestattet, auch im UV absolute Extinktionswerte in exakt definierten Punkten des Spektrums zu messen.
Quantitative measurements of transparency in the sea
Summary The total extinction of a ray of light in sea water caused by absorption and scattering is ascertained by measuring the transparency. The physical extinction coefficient is suitable to act as an indicator of extinction. In the visible part of the spectrum, it is possible to obtain approximately absolute measurements not influenced by the instruments used, by standardizing the transparency-meters with the aid of a Pulfrich-Photometer. The accuracy of the measurements continues, however, to be limited in particular by the shifting of the centres which are calculated and tabulated for various mean values of transparency of sea water, as well as by the technical properties of the instruments and the rectifier photocell. A principle for measuring transparency free of these deficiencies to a large extent and allowing the measurement of absolute extinction values at exactly defined points of the spectrum, including the ultra-violet, is described.

Summary By comparing the equalities expressing the solar flux within a wide spectral region on the assumption of an extintion within the atmospheric aerosol given by – and that of an extintion represented by 1–1, a relationship is established by means of which: 1) The error is discussed which is done when the air opacity is expressed by 1, in the case when 1; 2) A simple and quick method is worked out for determining the parameters and from actinometric observations, carried out within the spectral regions <525 m and 525 m<<625 m.  相似文献

Summary To study the ionization equilibrium, simultancous measurements of the concentration of small ions (n), concentration of condensation nuclei (Z), and the diffusion coefficient of condensation nuclei (D) have been carried out over the sea. If we take the variation ofD into consideration, the correlation among them was found to be well expressed by the simple formula;q=n Z. The dependence of the effective attachment coefficient of small ions () upon the size of nuclei (2r) were also studied, and was found to correlate well withD orr. Slight differences of the dependence of uponD orr over the sea from that over the land seem to be well explained by the difference of charged states of nuclei over the sea and land.
Zusammenfassung Zur Untersuchung des Ionisationsgleichgewichts wurden gleichzeitige Messungen der Konzentration schneller Ionen (n), der Konzentration der Kondensationskerne (Z) und des Diffusions-Koeffizienten der Kondensationskerne (D) über dem Meere ausgefürt. Unter Berücksichtigung des Diffusions-Koeffizienten (D) konnte der Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden anderen Grössen recht gut durch eine einfache Formel ausgedrückt werden:q=n Z. Die Abhängigkeit des wirksamen Anlagerungskoeffizienten für schnelle Ionen () von der Grösse der Kondensationskerne (2r) wurde ebenfalls untersucht, und es wurde gefunden, dass recht gut mitD oderr korreliert. Kleinere Unterschiede in der Abhängigkeit von vonD oderr, welche bei einem Vergleich der Messungen über See und über Land festgestellt wurden, liessen sich gut durch den Unterschied der geladenen Zustände der Kondensationskerne über See und Land erklären.

Summary According to the results of the adjustments of eight trigonometric and three-dimensional networks, the a priori variance m2() of the measured vertical angle is expressed by the formula: m2() = m2(a) + [C 1/2 m(k)]2, where m(a) represents accidental observation errors; the constant C is estimated in the interval 0.5–1.5 according to the number of repreated observations and the variation of their changes with time; is the angle between the normals to the ellipsoid at the initial and final point of the line of sight, and m(k) is the mean square error of the coefficient of refraction which can be estimated for a given network from Tab. 1.Dedicated to 90th Birthday of Professor Frantiek Fiala  相似文献

Data from 41 moderate and large earthquakes have been used to derive a scaling law for fault parameters. Fault lengthL, widthW and areaS are empirically related byLS andWS where 0.6<<0.7, 0.3<<0.4 and +=1. These relations indicate that the growth pattern of earthquake rupture zones is statistically self-affine. It is also found that these relations are similar to the relation derived from a diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model with anisotropic sticking probability. This suggests that a modified DLA model could describe the evolution of earthquake rupture zones.  相似文献

Obtaining an accurate, value for total ozone under a cloudy sky, especially when the sun is not high, is a major remaining problem associated with total ozone measurements. The Toronto spectrophotometer has been designed with this in mind. It has been fitted with a polarizing prism, and measures light at four wavelengths simultaneous which makes it possible to obtain two independent double ratios. Clouds produce two effects on ozone measurements; the first is purely an optical effect which causes an apparent increase in ozone, the second is most likely a real increase in ozone associated with large cumulus-type clouds. By considering the three following points it is possible to distinguish between these two cloud effects and probably measure the true total ozone for solar zenith angles less than 80°: 1. The multiply scattered component of polarized light is used to reduce optical cloud variance. This makes all skies appear like thick coulds. 2. A double difference similar to the AD method is used but the two ratios of the double difference are weighted inversely with(= 1 - 2 for a pair). This further reduces the optical effects of clouds. 3. Real ozone increases due to large clouds are verified by comparing the increase of ozone obtained from one double difference to that of another. Differences between this multiply, polarized curve and the direct sun curve will be given, and a technique to obtain an accurate value of total ozone under all sky conditions, provided that the solar zenith angle is less than 80°, will be given.  相似文献

In the present paper the first results of the international KOPEX-86 experiment are presented. The experiment took place at the Kopisty Atmospheric Observatory of the Institute of Physics of the Atmosphere in Prague as part of a special project of the Commission of the Academy of Sciences in Planetary Geophysics (KAPG) in June and July 1986. Using 4 ultrasonic anemometers at 4 levels up to 80 m, Doppler-SODAR and wind-, temperature- and radiation balance gradients from 2 to 80 m, a complex investigation of the atmospheric boundary layer in an industrial area was made. The authors present the first results of
–  the anthropogenic influence on the energy exchange in the atmospheric boundary layer.
–  the influence of a complex terrain on the turbulent characteristics and their vertical distribution.

Summary To clarify the interaction between RaA ions and condensation nuclei, simultaneous measurements of the concentration of RaA ions (n A), radon-222, and condensation nuclei (Z) were carried out at several stations. In some occasions, the diffusion coefficients of nuclei (D) were also measured. It was found that the correlation among them may be well expressed by the simple formula;q A = A nA Z. The correlation between A andD (or radius of nuclei) was also obtained.The effective attachment coefficient of RaA ions was compared with that of small ordinary ions, and it was presumed that about one fourth of RaA atoms formed on the decay of radon-222 is positively charged, and the rest is neutral.  相似文献

Summary The diffraction of a pressure wave arising from the edge of the floating ice due to an incident wave of the formH[t–(xcos/)+ (ysin/)], whereH(t) is the Heaviside step function, has been studied. The ice sheet has been taken to be moving with a velocity much less than the velocity of sound in the liquid. The problem has been solved using an approximate method of solving Wiener Hopf problems. Finally, the pressure field at a large distance from the edge has been derived in a closed form evaluating the integrals by the saddle point method.  相似文献

Summary In adjusting measured values in sets A(r*), v(r*) and f(r*) by means of a power function in the form of P=Kr* a region of discontinuity of the approximating curves was found at the distance r*11.5 m kg –1/3. It is assumed that this discontinuity was caused by the varying character of the source of seismic waves. For scaled distances r*>11.5 m kg –1/3 the explosion was considered to be a spherical source from the point of view of the charge geometry and of the distance of the pick-up from the centre of the charge, whereas if r*<11.5 m kg –1/3 the explosion in the borehole had the character of a cylindrical source. The difference of the two types of sources was reflected in the exponent with both the functions A(r*) and v(r*), so that for r*>11.5 m kg –1/3 –4.0 and–2.4, and for r*<11.5 m kg –1/3 –2.5 and–1.5. For the same intervals of scaled distance in the set f(r*)1.4 and1.2.  相似文献

Summary On the basis of investigating 10 storms (1965–1967) good correlation was found between the density of the solar wind energy (2=1/2mNv2) and the intensity of the main phase of the geomagnetic storms, expressed in terms of the maximum decrease of the horizontal intensity (B=H/cos). The relation between 2, or Nv2, and B could then be used to determine the quantities and 0 ( is the factor expressing the increase in energy density in the magnetosphere, 0 is the energy density of the particles in a quiet magnetosphere). A comparison with the directly observed distribution of the energy density of the particles in the magnetosphere indicates that the computed value of 0 seems to be realistic. The magnitude of the factor will have to be checked again.  相似文献

Summary The frequency equation of Rayleigh waves propagating over the free surface of an isotropic, perfectly elastic, heterogeneous semi-infinite medium with material properties varying as = 0 e az , = 0 e az , = 0 e az (a>0) has been obtained. Solution of the frequency equation in closed form is obtained in two cases (i) =0, (ii) =, and the Rayleigh wave dispersion curves for phase and group velocities drawn. In both the cases the medium yields single Rayleigh modes which cannot propagate below certain cut-off frequencies. It is found that in case (i), <c<c 0 and 0.87500 <c g <c 0, and in case (ii), 1.03082 <c<c 1 and 0.90850 <c g <c 1, wherec andc g denote phase nad group velocities respectively, is the constant shear wave velocity of the mediumc 0 andc 1 are the corresponding Rayleigh wave velocities of the homogeneous medium of the same Poisson's ratio. The motion of the surface particles is found to be retrograde elliptical as in the homogeneous case, but the ratic of the major and minor axes now becomes frequency dependent and is plotted against frequency. In both the cases (i) and (ii), the ratio starts at a lower value at the cut-off frequency and approaches the corresponding value of the homogeneous medium at high frequencies.  相似文献

We consider the second-order differential equations ofP-SV motion in an isotropic elastic medium with spherical coordinates. We assume that in the medium Lamé's parameters , r p and compressional and shear-wave velocities , r, wherer is radial distance. With this regular heterogeneity both the radial functions appearing in displacement components satisfy a fourth-order differential equation which provides solutions in terms of exponential functions. We then consider a layered spherical earth in which each layer has heterogeneity as specified above. The dispersion equation of the Rayleigh wave is obtained using the Thomson-Haskel method. Due to exponential function solutions in each layer, the dispersion equation has similar simplicity, as in a flat-layered earth. The dispersion equation is further simplified, whenp=–2. We obtain numerical results which agree with results obtained by other methods.  相似文献

The terrestrial magnetosheath contains a rich variety of low-frequency ( proton gyrofrequency) fluctuations. Kinetic and fluid-like processes at the bow shock, within the magnetosheath plasma, and at the magnetopause all provide sources of wave energy. The dominance of kinetic features such as temperature anisotropies, coupled with the high- conditions, complicates the wave dispersion and variety of instabilities to the point where mode identification is difficult. We review here the observed fluctuations and attempts to identify the dominant modes, along with the identification tools. Alfvén/ion-cyclotron and mirror modes are generated by T/T 1 temperature anisotropies and dominate when the plasma is low or high, respectively. Slow modes may also be present within a transition layer close to the subsolar magnetopause, although they are expected to suffer strong damping. All mode identifications are based on linearized theory in a homogeneous plasma and there are clear indications, in both the data and in numerical simulations, that nonlinearity and/or inhomogeneity modify even the most basic aspects of some modes. Additionally, the determination of the wave vector remains an outstanding observational issue which, perhaps, the Cluster mission will overcome.  相似文献

Summary A two-dimensional diffusion model in the vertical plane is considered as an unsteady boundary value problem which is solved by applying Laplace transformation and finding Green's function. The effects of the surface (ground) absorption (measured by ) and the terminal velocity (w) present an alternative explanation other than considering the variable eddy diffusivities and the change of the wind with height.It is shown that the effect of the surface absorption acts opposite to the effect of the terminal velocity for the diffusion of a source placed at the surface. The former alone reduces the concentration with the distance in the downwind direction at a faster rate than the latter alone.The path of the plume is considered only for the casew=2 . The effects of suchw and only slightly modify the path of the plume without such effects. If the height of the source is short, say 20 m, the modification of the path of the plume is insignificant compared to that of the case with the source placed at the surface.  相似文献

We employ a realistic finite-extent k -2 stochastic source model with k-dependent rise time, introduced by Bernard et al. (1996) and extended by Gallovi and Brokeová (2004), to synthesize the strong ground motions in near source distances. For a given magnitude, this rupture model involves a number of free parameters (fault dimensions, slip roughness, maximum rise time, slip velocity function). We study their influence on the peak ground acceleration (PGA) maps (parametric study) for an example of the 1999 Athens earthquake of M w = 5.9. The observed macroseismic intensities serve us as a rough constraint on the simulated PGA's to find a set of suitable k -2 models. These models agree with empirical source scaling relations.  相似文献
