Lunar and luni-solar variations of the geomagnetic field in the Indian region     

D. R. K. Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1972,95(1):131-140

Summary Lunar and luni-solar geomagnetic components have been computed upto four harmonics for low latitude station Alibag, outside equatorial electrojet belt, and the equatorial electrojet stations Annamalainagar, Kodaikanal and Trivandrum in the south Indian region. The computations are confined to data of very high solar activity period 1958–61. Amplitudes of lunar semidiurnal component (L ₂), in the horizontal intensity (H), undergo an equatorial enhancement. Phase difference of 2 hrs is noticed inL ₂ (H) between nonelectrojet and electrojet stations. In the vertical intensity (Z), L ₂ is maximum ine andj-seasons at Trivandrum, close to the magnetic equator. Ind-season, however, maximumL ₂ (Z) occurs at Annamalainagar (dip 5°.4N). The phase difference between the electrojet and nonelectrojet stations observed inL ₂ (H) is not noticed inL ₂ (Z). The differential vertical upward drift motion of charged particles may explain the observed phase difference inL ₂ (H). Seasonal variations in amplitudes and times of maxima are noticed at all the stations inL ₂ (H) andL ₂ (Z). Similar variation is also noticed at Alibag inL ₂ of declination (D).  相似文献   

Easy method of interpreting dyke anomalies     

B. S. R. Rao  T. K. S. Prakasa Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1970,78(1):32-36

Summary An entirely new procedure is proposed in this paper for interpreting anomalies of dykes. This reduces the ambiguity in magnetic interpretation. Measurements of the first vertical derivative simplifies the problem of interpretation and also supplies additional information concerning the parameters of a dyke. The first vertical derivative profile cuts the distance axis at two points whose separation is related to the depth and direction of magnetisation of a dyke.  相似文献

M. Parameswara Rao  B. Kesava Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1972,93(1):36-40

Summary The problem of the propagation of finite Love Waves in a heterogeneous elastic half space lying over a homogeneous elastic half space, using the quasilinear stress-strain relation due toS. Ferhst [4] is considered in detail. The variations of the parameter in the layer assumed to be of the form 1= 0e ^z, 0e ^z where is a constant andz is distance measured from the surface into the layer.  相似文献   

The sunspot cycle and solar and lunar daily variations inH     

D. R. K. Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1972,98(1):146-152

Summary Results of sunspot cycle influence on solar and lunar ranges at a low latitude station, Alibag, outside the equatorial electrojet belt, show that the sunspot cycle association in solar ranges is three times that of the lunar ranges in thed- andj-seasons. This is in general agreement with the earlier results for non-polar latitude stations. The association with sunspot number of individual lunar amplitudes is greatest for lunar semidiurnal harmonic in thej-season. During this season, the sunspot cycle influence on lunar variations is more than that on solar variations, thereby indicating that the lunar current is situated at a level more favourable for sunspot cycle influence than the level of the current associated with solar variations. With the increase in solar activity a shift appears in the times of maxima of semidiurnal lunar variation towards a later lunar hour ine- andj-seasons and in the year.  相似文献   

Alkaline rocks of the deccan traps     

S. Subba Rao 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1971,35(4):998-1011

Recent investigations on the Deccan Traps reveal many new findings of alkaline rocks more commonly occurring as minor intrusions than as lava flows. In comparison to the vast extent of the Deccan Traps, the alkaline rocks are negligible in their volume and are confined to tectonic belts in parts of Western India. The rocks exhibit no systematic variation in their petrographical and chemical characters thereby suggesting that they were not derived from a primary alkali olivine-basalt magma. The possibility of derivation of alkaline magma locally along the rift zones is proposed. Some of the alkaline rocks are shown to have been formed due to the effective role of volatiles in bringing dissociation of feldspar in certain cases, and alkali metasomatism in others. The syntexis of the pre-Deccan Trap carbonate rocks along the Narmada rift zone is also responsible for some occurrences.  相似文献

A computer program for interpreting vertical magnetic anomalies of spheres and horizontal cylinders     

B. S. R. Rao  I. V. Radhakrishna Murthy  C. Visweswara Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1973,110(1):2056-2065

Summary A common computer program for the interpretation of vertical magnetic anomalies of spheres and horizontal cylinders has been developed. The input consists of the observed anomalies noted against their distances measured from an arbitrary point in the profile and a code number for each model. The program is written so that the positions and magnitudes of the maximum and minimum anomalies are located and their ratios and signs are used to define the initial parameters of the model under consideration. The errors resulting from these approximate values are derived and are solved for the increments to be given to the initial values. The process is repeated until the sum of the squares of the errors is less than 0.25% of the sum of the squares of the observed anomalies. The method has been tested on various theoretical examples and the results justify the validity of the programme.  相似文献   

Crustal structure of the Indian subcontinent     

Hari Narain 《Tectonophysics》1973,20(1-4):249-260

Studies carried out by various investigators up to 1971 to delineate the Indian crustal structure using body wave travel times, surface wave dispersion and gravity methods are summarised and reviewed. The average crustal thickness is found to be 35–40 km in the Indian peninsular shield, 30–35 km in the Indo Gangetic plains and 60–80 km in the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau region. The limitations of the various methods used and the errors in the estimation of crustal thickness by them are discussed. As no deep refraction work for crustal studies has been carried out so far in India, this topic is not covered in this study.  相似文献

N. Jagan Mohana Rao  P. Sathyamurthi  T. V. Ramana Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1973,104(1):608-613

Summary The SCI values of zonal and meridional winds over Natal, Brasil are calculated. The results are compared with another southern Hemispheric Station Ascension Island and circulation patterns in the Stratosphere are discussed. Also a comparison is made of the zonal winds over Natal with those of an Equatorial Station (Thumba, India) and a station in Subtropics (Sonmiani, Arabian Sea islands).On leave from Dept. of Meteorology and Oceanography, Andhra University, Waltair (India).  相似文献
