This paper analyzes seasonal and diurnal variations of MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) data at ~1.1 km for the period of 2003–2011 over a region in West-Central Texas, where four of the world’s largest wind farms are located. Seasonal anomalies are created from MODIS Terra (~10:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. local solar time) and Aqua (~1:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. local solar time) LSTs, and their spatiotemporal variability is analyzed by comparing the LST changes between wind farm pixels (WFPs) and nearby non wind farm pixels (NNWFPs) using different methods under different quality controls. Our analyses show consistently that there is a warming effect of 0.31–0.70 °C at nighttime for the nine-year period during which data was collected over WFPs relative to NNWFPs, in all seasons for both Terra and Aqua measurements, while the changes at daytime are much noisier. The nighttime warming effect is much larger in summer than winter and at ~10:30 p.m. than ~1:30 a.m. and hence the largest warming effect is observed at ~10:30 p.m. in summer. The spatial pattern and magnitude of this warming effect couple very well with the geographic distribution of wind turbines and such coupling is stronger at nighttime than daytime and in summer than winter. Together, these results suggest that the warming effect observed in MODIS over wind farms are very likely attributable to the development of wind farms. This inference is consistent with the increasing number of operational wind turbines with time during the study period, the diurnal and seasonal variations in the frequency of wind speed and direction distribution, and the changes in near-surface atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) conditions due to wind farm operations. The nocturnal ABL is typically stable and much thinner than the daytime ABL and hence the turbine enhanced vertical mixing produces a stronger nighttime effect. The stronger wind speed and the higher frequency of the wind speed within the optimal power generation range in summer than winter and at nighttime than daytime likely drives wind turbines to generate more electricity and turbulence and consequently results in the strongest warming effect at nighttime in summer. Similarly, the stronger wind speed and the higher frequency of optimal wind speed at ~10:30 p.m. than that at ~1:30 a.m. might help explain, to some extent, why the nighttime LST warming effect is slightly larger at ~10:30 p.m. than ~1:30 a.m. The nighttime warming effect seen in spring and fall are smaller than that in summer and can be explained similarly.  相似文献

为评估南昌CINRAD/SAD双偏振天气雷达对地物杂波的抑制效果,使用2019年6—10月南昌单偏振雷达基数据和2022年同期南昌双偏振雷达基数据,对比分析了不同仰角和晴、雨条件下单、双偏振天气雷达反射率频率。结果表明：单、双偏振雷达在0.5°仰角因周边山区地形、建筑物遮挡的影响,在西北方向和东南方向存在明显的数据缺失。升级为双偏振雷达后,在各个仰角上周围反射率高频区的范围明显减小,雷达能有效消除雷达站点周边杂波的影响。晴天时,双偏振雷达对晴空杂波的过滤效果极佳;雨天时,双偏振雷达对南昌周边及梅岭山区的回波进行了弱化处理,可以有效减少地形回波、非气象回波的干扰。双偏振天气雷达产品差分相移率和相关系数能较清楚地辨别出虚假回波,可更好地用于确定降水粒子的信息。  相似文献

Visual simulation of landslide fluidized movement based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

Earthquake-induced landslides can cause a large number of casualties and great economic loss. Presently, research methods for studying landslides are largely based on a framework of solid mechanics. In this work, visualization software, known as Visual SPH, is developed in Visual Basic 6.0, and can be used to analyze the fluidized movement of landslides based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). First, the accuracy of the software is verified through simulating a benchmark problem of a dam-break. Then, fluidized movement analysis of the Tangjiashan landslide is carried out using this software. The simulation derives plots of displacement versus time, reproduces the entire flow process of the Tangjiashan landslide, and determines the run-out, which coincides exactly with the characteristics of flow-like landslides observed in the field. All of these are essential in the design of supporting structures and site selection for reconstruction in earthquake-prone regions.  相似文献   

Pressure resistance of the corrugated stainless steel membranes of LNG carriers     

Byung Chul Kim  Dai Gil Lee 《Ocean Engineering》2011,38(4):592-608

Corrugated stainless steel membranes have been used as the primary barriers for LNG carriers to reduce thermal stresses at cryogenic temperatures. As the capacity of the LNG cargo is increased, however, the corrugated stainless steel membranes suffer from buckling and collapse due to increased sloshing loads in large-capacity LNG cargo carriers. In this study, the pressure resistance of the corrugated part of the stainless steel membrane was evaluated using a finite element method for better design of the LNG containment system, and an experimental equipment was developed and the pressure resistance of the stainless steel corrugations was measured and compared with the calculated results. In addition, a new membrane with high-pressure resistance and its reinforcing method were developed and evaluated experimentally.  相似文献   

城镇化水平测定方法构建与案例   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

城镇化水平作为衡量一个国家和地区城镇化的指标,其测定方法还不甚完善,对其进行研究成为科学评价我国城镇化水平的一个重要课题。城镇与乡村最直观的区别在于人口的集聚程度、人口的职业构成、土地的利用方式,因此,在既有城镇地域界定标准的基础上,选择人口密度、非农业人口比重、建成区面积比重、人均耕地面积等指标作为判断不同政区是否成为城镇地域的基本指标。通过层层设置临界值,合理地界定了城镇地域范围,并核定了城镇人口,为科学计算城镇化水平提供了依据。以曲阜市为实例,对上述标准进行检验,结果表明,这种城乡划分标准合理,结果符合实际,同时计算简便,利于应用。  相似文献

金沙江上游奔子栏-达日河段属横断山区的干热河谷地带,河谷沿岸大型古泥石流堆积扇广泛发育,其成因却一直没有得到很好的研究.对该区瓦卡大型古泥石流堆积物进行了沉积结构、粒度、地球化学和孢粉等分析,揭示了泥石流的沉积环境及其形成过程.通过粗颗粒石英的光释光单片再生法(SAR)测年研究,获得金沙江上游奔子栏-达日河段古泥石流大规模暴发的年代为12 600～4 500 a BP.丰富的风化碎屑物源、陡峻的地形及雨季降水集中是该区古泥石流形成的主要原因.全新世早期青藏高原东南缘受西南季风加强的影响,气候趋于暖湿,季节性暴雨增加.金沙江上游干热河谷区大型泥石流堆积扇的发育年代暗示其是全新世早期西南季风加强作用下的地貌响应.从地质灾害防治的角度,由于现代气候因素导致泥石流灾害的频度和规模较小,预防该区地质灾害的重点应是防止人工砍伐树木和不合理的人工切坡导致对地表环境的破坏加剧.  相似文献

印尼8.7级地震对川滇地区地震活动的影响   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

焦青  范国胜  戴梁焕 《大地测量与地球动力学》2005,25(3):100-104

对1900年以来印尼爪哇海沟地区发生的8.0级以上地震与川滇地区5.0级以上地震作了统计、对比和分析,并利用跨断层位移流动观测资料,对2004年12月26日印尼苏门答腊西部海域8.7级地震前后,川滇地区的区域构造活动变化进行了分析研究,初步认为:印尼8.7级地震后,川滇地区1~3年内发生7.0级以上地震的可能性不大;1~2年内发生6~7级地震的可能性较大;1年内发生5级以上地震至少两次;纬度27°以南地区可能是未来1年内发震的危险地区,地球自转速度减慢,可能预示川滇地区强震活跃期即将到来。  相似文献
