The Nebraska Sand Hills are a distinctive eco-region in the semi-arid Great Plains of the western United States. The water
table underlying the Sand Hills is part of the High Plains/Ogallala aquifer, an important water resource for the central Great
Plains. Lake levels are affected directly by fluctuations in the water table, which is recharged primarily by local precipitation
and responds quickly to climatically induced changes in regional water balance. Instrumental records are available for only
50–100 years, and paleolimnological data provide important insights into the extremes and variability in moisture balance
over longer time scales. A set of 69 lakes from across Nebraska was used to establish a statistical relationship between diatom
community composition and water depth. This relationship was then used to develop a diatom-based inference model for water
depth using weighted averaging regression and calibration techniques. Development of the inference model was complicated by
strong intra-seasonal variability in water depth and the linkages between depth and other limnologic characteristics, including
alkalinity, water clarity and nutrient concentrations. Analysis of historical diatom communities from eight lakes allowed
for the reconstruction of lake-level fluctuations over the past several thousand years. Comparisons of the more recent portion
of these reconstructions with the instrumental Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) showed that sediment records may not faithfully
reflect short-term fluctuations in water level, except where sedimentation rates are very high. However, large and persistent
changes in moisture availability were discernible even in longer, low-resolution records. Thus, diatoms are a useful addition
to the tools available for understanding past drought in the central Great Plains, especially when trajectories of change
are constrained by data from multiple sites or other proxies. 相似文献

Monitoring land subsidence in Semarang,Indonesia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Semarang is one of the biggest cities in Indonesia and nowadays suffering from extended land subsidence, which is due to groundwater
withdrawal, to natural consolidation of alluvium soil and to the load of constructions. Land subsidence causes damages to
infrastructure, buildings, and results in tides moving into low-lying areas. Up to the present, there has been no comprehensive
information about the land subsidence and its monitoring in Semarang. This paper examines digital elevation model (DEM) and
benchmark data in Geographic Information System (GIS) raster operation for the monitoring of the land subsidence in Semarang.
This method will predict and quantify the extent of subsidence in future years. The future land subsidence prediction is generated
from the expected future DEM in GIS environment using ILWIS package. The procedure is useful especially in areas with scarce
data. The resulting maps designate the area of land subsidence that increases rapidly and it is predicted that in 2020, an
area of 27.5 ha will be situated 1.5–2.0 m below sea level. This calculation is based on the assumption that the rate of land
subsidence is linear and no action is taken to protect the area from subsidence. 相似文献

Sommaire Une étude radiométéorologique en mer close, a été initiée par le Groupe Radiométéorologique de l'OTAN. Pour completer les resultats des mesures au dessus du Canal d'Otranto (Martina Franca-Corfou) publiées en collaboration avec le Groupe Italien du Service de l'Aeronautique Militaire, des mesures au dessus de la mer de Libye sur la partie SE de la Mediterranée, d'une liaison transhorizon de 725 km entre le Caire et la ville d'Ierapetra, ont été enterprises.Pour expliquer le mecanisme de cette propagation transhorizon, on a appliqué une méthode d'analyse, basée sur les courbes de distribution du champs reçue en fonction du pourcentage du temps, indiquée par l'un des auteurs (Anastassiadis). Les courbes de distribution Rayleigh ou SuperRayleigh, obtenues pendant la période chaude, indiquent un mécanisme de reflection diffusée, tandis que les courbes avec des pentes superieures d'une Rayleigh pure, pendant la periode froide indiquent un mécanisme de guidage. L'hypothèse ci-dessus est supportée par le fait que les variations en altitudes des surfaces isobares suivant les periodes chaudes ou froides, presentent un fort coefficient de correlation avec les intensités du champ reçu.
Summary A radiometeorological study of VHF propagation along transhorizon paths over several parts of the Mediterranean sea, was initiated by the Radiometeorological Panel of NATO's Science Committee. After a study over the Otranto channel (Martina Franca-Corfu) performed in collaboration with the Italian group, in the present paper is investigated the 725 km, mainly over the Lybean sea transhorizon path Cairo City to lerapetra, located in the South cost of Creta island. Three years fieldstrengths measurements were analysed in Ierapetra center. Following the observed results, during the warm period of the year it is a good reception, while during the cold period the reception was very poor or inexistant.In order to explain the mechanism of this transhorizon propagation, a method of analysis based on the distribution curves, as indicated by one of the authors (Anastassiadis) was used. Rayleigh or super-Rayleigh distribution curves of the received signalstrength versus time percentage observed during the warm period indicate a diffused reflection mechanism while Sub-Rayleigh distribution observed during the cold period indicate a ducting mechanism. These results are supported by the close correlation observed between the variation in altitudes of isobaric surfaces and the location of volume following the warm or cold period of the year in which the diffused reflection mechanism is produced.相似文献

This study deals with the analysis of the glacial processes that have affected the relief of Mt Chelmos in northern Peloponnesus, Greece during middle and Late Pleistocene. The goal was to compile a combined geomorphological-geological map of the study area which would enable the chronological stratification of the glacial landforms cropping up on Mt. Chelmos. Chronological stratification was further aided by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The map served as the basis upon which the reconstruction and discussion on the phases of the Middle-Late Quaternary paleoclimatic history of Mt. Chelmos have been made. A sophisticated semiautomated method was first used to analyze the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), combined with Aster, Quickbird and ALOS imagery in order to identify glacial and periglacial, as well as karstic features. Then, these features along with other nonrecognizable features from the remote-sensing images were documented in the field. In this way, several glacial landforms were identified, such as moraines and cirques, indicating extended glaciation phases during the middle and Late Pleistocene. Additionally, a ground moraine located at an altitude of 1900-2050 m, within the Spanolakos glacial valley, was dated using the OSL-dating method. The resulting ages indicate a phase of glacier advance/stabilization during MIS-5b (89-86 ka), which is in consistence with pollenrecord evidence from Greece and the Mediterranean. 相似文献
