The electrostatic ion-cyclotron instability (EICI) in low β (ratio of plasma to magnetic pressure), anisotropic, inhomogeneous
plasma is studied by investigating the trajectories of the particles using the general loss-cone distribution function (Dory-Guest-Harris
type) for the plasma ions. In particular, the role of the loss-cone feature as determined by the loss-cone indices, in driving
the drift-cyclotron loss-cone (DCLC) instability is analysed. It is found that for both long and short wavelength DCLC mode
the loss-cone indices and the perpendicular thermal velocity affect the dispersion equation and the growth rate of the wave
by virtue of their occurrence in the temperature anisotropy. The dispersion relation for the DCLC mode derived here using
the particle aspect analysis approach and the general loss-cone distribution function considers the ion diamagnetic drift
and also includes the effects of the parallel propagation and the ion temperature anisotropy. It is also found that the diamagnetic
drift velocity due to the density gradient of the plasma ions in the presence of the general loss-cone distribution acts as
a source of free energy for the wave and leads to the generation of the DCLC instability with enhanced growth rate. The particle
aspect analysis approach used to study the EICI in inhomogeneous plasma gives a fairly good explanation for the particle energisation,
wave emission by the wave–particle interaction and the results obtained using this particle aspect analysis approach are in
agreement with the previous theoretical findings using the kinetic approach. 相似文献
The tropical cyclones are very destructive during landfall, generating high wind speeds, heavy intensive rainfall, and severe storm surges with huge coastal inundations that have massive socioeconomic and ecological catastrophic effects on human beings and the economic well-being. The sizable ecological effects of cyclonic storms cannot be ignored because of the uncertainty of impact, intensity induced by a warming ocean, and sea level rise. The Super Cyclonic Storm Amphan which falls under the category five classifications under the scheme of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), on the basis the maximum sustained wind speeds gusting up to 168 km/h affected parts of West Bengal and Odisha in India, and south-west Bangladesh between May 16 and 20, 2020. In this work, we have focused on the coastal districts of Kendrapada, Bhadrak, Balasore in Odisha, Purba Medinipur, and South Twenty-Four Parganas in West Bengal, India and, Khulna, Barisal division of Bangladesh that have been seriously affected by the Super Cyclonic Storm Amphan. The objective of the study is to analyze the eco-physical assessment of tropical cyclone Amphan using geospatial technology. Therefore, shoreline change detection and enhance vegetation index have been used in this research work to systematically analyze the eco-physical impact parameters of Cyclonic Storm Amphan using ortho-rectified Landsat 8/OLI imagery and MODIS dataset of USGS with high spatial resolutions of 30–500 m. The result highlights that about 60.33% of the total transects of the study area was eroded, but only 24.99% of the total transects experienced accretion, and 14.68% of the total transects depicted stability. The scientific study will benefit coastal managers and policymakers in formulating action plans for coastal zone management, natural resilience, and sustainable future development.

Ice sheets investigation is important with regard to climate change and contribution to the sea level rise or fall. Radar altimetry in complement with laser altimetry can serve as a suitable candidate for precise monitoring of ice sheet evaluations. SARAL due to higher observation into the polar region (up to 82.5°N) can cover nearly 100% of the Greenland ice sheet. Continuous ice tracking mode retracker can provide useful information about ice surfaces, that is, determining the snow coverage, ice sheet transaction margin, and the evolution of snow depth during winter more accurately. This study present the results obtained with SARAL satellite Altika radar altimeter over the Greenland ice sheet region. The altimeter high rate waveforms products are used for utilizing the full capability of the instrument. High resolution DEM (1 km) generated using ICESAT/GLAS altimeter has been used for selecting the good quality data over the study region. Four different retrackers—Ocean, ICE-1, ICE-2, and Sea-Ice—were tested on the SARAL altimeter data set and compared with the DEM extracted ice sheet elevations. Three different data analysis—region of interest (ROI), track analysis, and cross-over analysis—were performed for in-depth analysis of the ice height changes and back scattering coefficient variability. ROI's (1° × 0.5°) were selected based on accumulation dry snow zone, percolation zone, wet snow zone, and ablation zone. Finally to observe the effect of Ka band, SARAL results has been compared with the Envisat altimeter in terms of back scatter and error in the height retrieval due to penetration problem within the ice sheet layer. The new SARAL data set confirms the potential of ice altimetry and provides a new opportunity to monitor the ice sheet surface topography evolution. 相似文献
In this paper we present the current capabilities for numerical weather prediction of precipitation
over China using a suite of ten multimodels and our superensemble based forecasts. Our suite of models includes
the operational suite selected by NCARs TIGGE archives for the THORPEX Program. These are: ECMWF, UKMO, JMA,
NCEP, CMA, CMC, BOM, MF, KMA and the CPTEC models. The superensemble strategy includes a training and a forecasts
phase, for these the periods chosen for this study include the months February through September for the years 2007
and 2008. This paper addresses precipitation forecasts for the medium range i.e. Days 1 to 3 and extending out to
Day 10 of forecasts using this suite of global models. For training and forecasts validations we have made use of
an advanced TRMM satellite based rainfall product. We make use of standard metrics for forecast validations that
include the RMS errors, spatial correlations and the equitable threat scores. The results of skill forecasts of
precipitation clearly demonstrate that it is possible to obtain higher skills for precipitation forecasts for Days
1 through 3 of forecasts from the use of the multimodel superensemble as compared to the best model of this suite.
Between Days 4 to 10 it is possible to have very high skills from the multimodel superensemble for the RMS error of
precipitation. Those skills are shown for a global belt and especially over China. Phenomenologically this product
was also found very useful for precipitation forecasts for the Onset of the South China Sea monsoon, the life cycle
of the mei-yu rains and post typhoon landfall heavy rains and flood events. The higher skills of the multimodel
superensemble make it a very useful product for such real time events. 相似文献
In this paper an analytical method has been proposed to predict the net ultimate uplift capacity of the single bent pile and
pile group with a bent embedded in sand considering arching effects. Arching develops due to relative compressibility of sand
relative to pile which activates the soil-pile friction. The method takes into consideration the embedded length (L), diameter of the pile (d), bent angle, surface characteristics of pile, group configuration, spacing of the pile group and the soil properties. Log
spiral failure surface with parabolic arch shape was assumed in the analysis. Theoretical investigation for uplift capacity
was been carried out for the single bent pile and group of pile (2 × 1, 2 × 2) embedded in sand. The variable used in the
analysis were embedded length to pile diameter (L/d = 15, 20 and 25), spacing in the group (3d, 4d and 6d) and angle of bent (6°, 14° and 20°). Typical charts for evaluation of net ultimate uplift capacity for pile groups are presented
through the figures. Comparison of theoretical results shows good agreement with established experimental results. 相似文献
