Spectra from the Voyager 1 infrared interferometer spectrometer (IRIS) obtained near the time of closest approach to Jupiter were analyzed for the purpose of inferring ammonia cloud properties associated with the Equatorial Region. Comparisons of observed spectra with synthetic spectra computed from a radiative transfer formulation, that includes multiple scattering, yielded the following conclusions: (1) very few NH₃ ice particles with radii less than 3 μm contribute to the cloud opacity; (2) the major source of cloud opacity arises from particles with radii in excess of 30 μm; (3) column particle densities are between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude smaller than those derived from thermochemical considerations alone, implying the presence of important atmospheric motion; and (4) another cloud system is confirmed to exist deeper in the Jovian troposphere.  相似文献   

On the elimination of short-period terms in second-order general planetary theory investigated by Hori's method     

Jean Meffroy 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1973,25(2):271-354

1. The short-period terms of a second-order general planetary theory are removed through the Hori's method based on a development of the HamiltonianF in a Lie series which involves a determining functionS not depending upon mixed canonical variables as in the Von Zeipel's method but upon all the canonical variables resulting from the elimination of the short period terms ofF. Canonical variables adopted are the slow Delaunay variables. Eccentricitiese _j and sines γ_j of the semi inclinations are respectively replaced by the Jacques Henrard variablesE _j ,J _j which lead to formulas remarkably simple.F is reduced to the sumF ₀+F ₁ of its terms of degrees 0,1 in small parameter ε of the order of the masses. Only one disturbing planet is considered.F ₁ is not calculated beyond its terms of degree 3 inE _j ,E _j ,J _j , the determining functionS ₂ of degree 2 in ε not being therefore calculated beyond its terms of degree 2 inE′ _j ,E _j ,J _j and the expressions of slow Delaunay canonical variables of the disturbed planetP ₁ and the disturbing planetP ₂ in terms of the new slow Delaunay canonical variables ofP ₁ andP ₂ which result from the elimination of the short period terms ofF ₁ being therefore reduced to their terms of degree <1 in theE′ _j ,E′ _j ,J′ _j . Calculation of the principal partF _1m ofF ₁ is carried out through Laplace coefficients and operatorD=α(d/dα) applied to Laplace coefficients, α ratio of the semi major axis ofP ₁ andP ₂. Eccentricitye ₂ of the disturbed planetP ₂ is assumed to be zero, such an assumption not restricting our aim which is to investigate the mechanism of the elimination of short period terms in a second order general planetary theory carried out through the Hori's method, not to perform the elimination of those terms for a complete second order general planetary theory. Expressions of the slow Delaunay canonical variables in terms of the new ones resulting from the elimination of the short period terms ofF ₁ are written down only for the disturbed planetP ₁.
2. Small divisors in 1/E′ ₁ and 1/E′ ₁ ² appear in the longitude ?₁ of perihelia ofP ₁. No small divisors appear in the other five slow Delaunay variables ofP ₁. The only Jacques Henrard variables which appear in the longitude Ω₁ of the ascending node ofP ₁ are the J _j′ j=1, 2 and no Jacques Henrard variables appear in the slow Delaunay canonical variablesX ₁,Y ₁,Z ₁, λ₁. The solving of the ten canonical equations ofP ₁ andP ₂ in the slow Delaunay canonical variablesX′ _j ,Y′ ₁,Z′ _j ,λ′ _j ,ω′ _j ,Ω′ _j resulting from the elimination of the short period terms ofF ₁ reduces to that of four canonical equations inZ′ _j ,©′ _j and to six quadratures three of them expressing theX′ _j ,Y′ ₁ are constants and the three others expressingλ′ _j ,?′ _j as functions of timet. Solving of the four canonical equations inZ′ _j ,Ω′ _j reduces to that of a first order non linear differential equation and to two quadratures. Sinceγ′ ₁ is then constant, so is the Jacques Henrard variableE′ ₁. If the eccentricitye ₂ ofP ₂ is no more assumed to be zero, additive small divisors inE′ ₂/E′ ² ₁ appear in longitude ?′₁ of perihelia ofP ₁ and the solving of the twelve canonical equations ofP ₁ andP ₂ inX′ _j ,Y′ _j ,Z′ _j ,λ′ _j ,?′ _j ,Ω′ _j is reduced to that of eight canonical equations inY′ _j ,?′ _j ,Z′ _j ,Ω′ _j and to four quadratures expressingX′ _j are constants andλ′ _j as functions oft. Those eight canonical equations split into two systems of four canonical equations, one of them inY′ _j ,?′ _j and the other one inZ′ _j ,Ω′ _j . Each of those two systems is identical to the system inZ′ _j ,Ω′ _j corresponding toe ₂=0 and its solving reduces to that of a first order non linear differential equation and to two quadratures identical to those of the casee ₂=0.
3. Expressions ofX ₁,Y ₁,Z ₁,λ ₁,? ₁,Ω ₁ as functions ofX′ _j ,Y′ ₁,Z′ _j ,λ′ _j ,?′ ₁,Ω′ _j ;j=1, 2 are sums of sines and cosines of the multiples ofλ′ _j ,?′ ₁,Ω′ _j for the terms arising from the indirect partF _1j ofF ₁, Fourier series in those sines and cosines or products of two such Fourier series for the terms arising from the principal partF _1m ofF ₁, coefficients of those sums and Fourier series having one of the eight forms: $$A,{\text{ }}\frac{B}{{E'}},{\text{ }}\frac{C}{{E'^2 }},{\text{ }}D\frac{{j'^{2_1 } }}{{E'^{2_1 } }},{\text{ }}E\frac{{j'^{2_2 } }}{{E'^{2_1 } }},{\text{ }}F\frac{{j'^{_1 } j'^2 }}{{E'^{2_1 } }},{\text{ }}G\frac{{j'^2 }}{{j'^{_1 } }},{\text{ }}H\frac{{j'^{22} }}{{j'^{2_1 } }}{\text{.}}$$ A,..., H being constants which depend upon ratio α. Numerical calculation of the constantsA,..., H arising from the terms ofF _1j is easily carried out; that of theA,..., H arising from the terms ofF _1m require more manipulations, Fourier series in sines and cosines of the multiples ofλ′ _j ,?′ _j ,Ω _ij and products of two such Fourier series having then to be reduced to sums of a finite number of terms and treated through the methods of harmonic analysis. Divisors inp+qα^3/2;p, q relative integers, or products of such divisors appear inA,..., H.
4. the method extends to the case whenF ₁ is calculated beyond its terms of degree 3 in the Jacques Henrard variables.F ₁ being calculated up to its terms of degree 8 in the Jacques Henrard variables which is the precision required to eliminate the short period terms of a complete second order general planetary theory,S ₂ has to be calculated up to its terms of degree 7 and the expression of the slow Delaunay canonical variables ofP ₁ andP ₂ in terms of the slow Delaunay canonical variables ofP ₁ andP ₂ resulting from the elimination of the short period terms ofF ₁ have, therefore, to be calculated up to their terms of degree 5 in the Jacques Henrard variables.

Study of the deep cloud structure in the equatorial region of Jupiter from voyager infrared and visible data     

Bruno Bézard  Jean Paul Baluteau  André Marten 《Icarus》1983,54(3):434-455

High spatial resolution infrared and visible data obtained by the Voyager 1 spacecraft have been analyzed simultaneously to infer properties of the deep cloud structure of the Jovian troposphere in the 1- to 4-bar pressure range. Influence of the ammonia upper cloud layer, in the 5μm Jovian window, has been investigated through a cloud model derived from far ir Voyager IRIS measurements. The attenuation, computed with an anisotropic scattering formulation, is too weak to explain 5-μm measurements and provides evidence for existence of a cloud structure at deeper levels. The main conclusions derived from the present analysis are summarized below: (1) the deep cloud structure appears to be vertically associated with the NH₃ upper layer; (2) the ammonia cloud is mainly responsible for the visible appearance of the Jovian equatorial region; (3) the deep cloud structure exhibits a grey opacity in the 5-μm window; (4) coldest 5-μm spectra can be interpreted by the existence of a thick cloud layer located at levels in the 180–195°K temperature range. Implications of these results are discussed in conjunction with predictions of dynamical and thermochemical models. NH₄SH is shown to be a likely candidate for the main deep cloud constituent. An even deeper thick H₂O cloud may be present too, but should not be responsible for the observed spread in 5-μm brightness temperatures.  相似文献   

Economic convergence or divergence? Modeling the interregional dynamics of EU regions, 1985–1999     

Giuseppe?ArbiaEmail author  Jean H. P.?Paelinck 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2003,5(3):291-314

In this paper we start from a continuous time framework derived from the classical predator-prey model in order to analyze the recent dynamics of regional evolution in the EU. The model describes a system of interrelated units obeying a complex functional dynamics that at any moment may encompass divergent forces. After briefly reviewing the modeling framework presented elsewhere (Arbia and Paelinck 2002), we consider the dynamics of per-capita income in 119 NUTS-2 European regions in the years 1985–1999, and fit the model using Simultaneous Dynamic Least Squares (Paelinck 1996b). The model is shown to fit the empirical data well. The – potential divergence – leads up to a formidable coordination task for public authorities responsible for regional policies, as they are supposed – if their aim is absolute convergence in an economic sense, meaning equalizing incomes per head – to produce at any time a consistent set of regional policies for all the regions concerned, and not only for the less developed ones.  相似文献   

Kinetic partitioning of Co,Mn, Cs,Fe, Ag,Zn and Cd in fresh waters (Loire) mixed with brackish waters (Loire estuary): experimental and modelling approaches   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Ciffroy P  Garnier JM  Benyahya L 《Marine pollution bulletin》2003,46(5):626-641

To simulate the behavior of radionuclides along a salinity gradient, in vitro sorption and desorption kinetics of Co, Mn, Cs, Fe, Ag, Zn and Cd were studied in Loire river water and the macrotidal Loire estuarine water over two different seasons. Partitioning between the dissolved phase and suspended solids were followed up over 100 h after adding radioactive tracers to freshly collected freshwater (sorption stage); this stage was followed by desorption in fresh and estuarine waters. A kinetic model describing the interactions between trace metals and particles under a salinity gradient was developed and calibrated. Among parameters and/or processes that control the fate and behavior of contaminated particles during their transfer in estuarine systems, this study shows that the speciation of trace metals is controlled by: (i) the chemical water composition: for all the elements except for Fe, desorption increased with salinity; however, the amplitude of such an effect strongly depended on the element and/or on the composition of the particulate phase (and consequently on the season); (ii) the possibility for a given element to form (or not) stable surface particle moieties such as oxides or inner-sphere complexes; (iii) the distribution of a given element among different types of sites characterised by different binding forces that can lead (or not) to re-adsorption processes after mixing of contaminated particles with uncontaminated water.Our model enabled the quantification of the contribution and the characteristic time of reactions that took place over short and long periods on the global partitioning between particulate and dissolved phases during sorption and desorption and to determine the extent to which these reactions were modified by the salinity.  相似文献

The influence of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Phragmites</Emphasis> (common reed) on the distribution,abundance, and potential prey of a resident marsh fish in the Hackensack Meadowlands,New Jersey     

Diana?L.?RaichelEmail author  Kenneth?W.?Able  Jean?Marie?Hartman 《Estuaries and Coasts》2003,26(2):511-521

This study investigates the influence ofPhragmites australis (common reed) invasion on the habitat of the resident marsh fish,Fundulus heteroclitus (mummichog) in the Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey. These abundant fish play an important role in the transfer of energy from the marsh surface to adjacent subtidal waters and thus estuarine food webs. The objectives of this 2-yr study (1999 and 2000) were to compare the distribution and abundance of the eggs, larvae, juveniles, and adults of mummichog and their invertebrate prey inhabitingSpartina alterniflora-dominated marshes withPhragmites-dominated marshes, and to experimentally investigate the influence of marsh surface microtoprography on larval fish abundance withinPhragmites-dominated marshes. In 2000, we verified that egg deposition does occur inPhragmites-dominated marshes. In both years, the abundance of larvae and small juveniles (4–20 mm TL) inS. alterniflora was significantly greater than inPhragmites-dominated marshes, while larger juveniles and adults (>20 mm TL) were similarly abundant in both habitat types. The overall abundance of larvae and small juveniles was significantly greater in experimentalPhragmites plots in which microtopography was manipulated to resemble that ofSpartina marshes than inPhragmites control plots. Major groups of invertebrate taxa differed between marsh types with potential prey for larval fish being significantly more abundant inS. alterniflora marshes.Phragmites-dominated marshes may not provide the most suitable habitat for the early life-history stages of the mummichog. The low abundance of larvae and small juveniles inPhragmites marshes is likely due to inadequate larval habitat and perhaps decreased prey availability for these early life history stages.  相似文献   

The role of large rhizome dispersal and low salinity windows in the establishment of common reed,<Emphasis Type="Italic">Phragmites australis</Emphasis>, in salt marshes: New links to human activities     

David?BartEmail author  Jean?Marie?Hartman 《Estuaries and Coasts》2003,26(2):436-443

In spite of its long history,Phragmites australis’ (Cav.) Trin ex Stuedel invasion in tidal marshes defies explanation. Initial establishment in these systems is particularly perplexing, because seedlings and rhizome fragments do not perform well in poorly drained saline environments. We tested the possibility that dispersal and burial of large rhizomes, periods of low salinity, and localized, well-drained areas facilitate initial establishment in brackish marshes. In a greenhouse we exposed large and small rhizomes to two drainage treatments: mimics of poorly-drained, high marsh interiors and mimics of well-drained, mosquito ditch banks. In well-drained treatments we exposed rhizomes to one of three salinity treatments: fresh, natural salinity regime of an invaded brackish water marsh, and a 2-wk freshwater window followed by a natural salinity regime. Small rhizone fragments did not emerge in saline treatments or treatments with high water tables, while emergence was spotty in well-drained freshwater treatments. Large rhizomes emerged only in well-drained, treatments. For large rhizomes, growth, survival, and clonal spread decreased when exposed to the natural salinity regime, but improved with exposure to the 2-wk freshwater window. These results suggest that dispersal and burial of larger rhizomes, well-drained features, and low salinity windows following dispersal improve the chances of successful establishment. These results help explain case-specific historical links between establishment and such human activities as hydrological alterations, construction activities, and lowered salinity.  相似文献
