On the effect of the mantle elasticity on the earth's rotation     

Juan Getino  José M. Ferrándiz 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1995,61(2):117-180

Starting from the Hamiltonian model for a solid Earth with an elastic mantle previously developped by the authors, analytical expressions are derived which give the nutation series corresponding to the plane perpendicular to the angular momentum vector, to the plane perpendicular to the rotational axis and to the equator of figure, as well as the series that give the polar motion. The effects of the different perturbations — solid Earth, centrifugal and tidal potentials — are calculated separately. The corrections due to the elasticity of the mantle, which mostly correspond to the Oppolzer terms, are calculated with an accuracy of 10^–6 arc sec., given that the intrinsic observational accuracy has reached 0.01 mas.  相似文献   

Tracing the formation history of intermediate-age star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud     

Andrés E. Piatti  Ata Sarajedini  Doug Geisler  Juan Seguel  David Clark 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2005,358(4):1215-1230

Colour–magnitude diagrams (CMDs) are presented for the first time for 10 star clusters projected on to the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The photometry was carried out in the Washington system C and T ₁ filters allowing the determination of ages by means of the magnitude difference between the red giant clump and the main-sequence turnoff (MSTO), and metallicities from the red giant branch (RGB) locus. The clusters all have ages in the range 1.5–4 Gyr and metallicities between  −1.3 < [Fe/H] < −0.6  , with respective errors of ∼0.5 Gyr and 0.3 dex. This increases substantially the sample of intermediate-age clusters in the SMC with well-derived parameters. We combine our results with those for other clusters in the literature to derive as large and homogeneous a data base as possible (totalling 26 clusters) in order to study global effects. We find evidence for two peaks in the age distribution of SMC clusters, at ∼6.5 and 2.5 Gyr, in good agreement with previous hints involving smaller samples. The most recent peak occurs at a time that corresponds to a very close encounter between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the SMC according to the recent dynamical models of Bekki et al. that they used to explain the enhancement of LMC clusters with this age. It appears cluster formation may have been similarly stimulated in the SMC by this encounter as well. We also find very good agreement between cluster ages and metallicities and the prediction from a bursting model from Pagel and Tautvaišienė with a burst that occurred 3 Gyr ago. These two lines of evidence together favour a bursting cluster formation history as opposed to a continuous one for the SMC.  相似文献

On the continuum intensity-magnetic field relation along the decay phase of sunspots     

V. Martínez Pillet  M. Vázquez 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,170(1-2):75-79

We present continuum intensity-magnetic field distributions for a decaying sunspot. It is shown that a very simple model accounts for the observed correlation. The Wilson depression is determined.Based on observations made with the Vacuum Gregory Telescope (V.G.T.) and the Vacuum Newton Telescope (V.N.T.) operated on the island of Tenerife by the Universitäts-Sternwarte Göttingen and the Kiepenheuer-Institut at the Observatorio del Teide of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.Paper presented at the 11th European Regional Astronomical Meetings of the IAU on New Windows to the Universe, held 3–8 July, 1989, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.  相似文献   

Galaxy clustering in the nonlinear regime     

E. Martínez-González  J. L. Sanz 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,170(1-2):319-325

We calculate the r.m.s. density fluctuations using the ID Zel'dovich approximation implemented with a virialization scheme for the very dense fluctuations. The results are quite different from those found in the linear regime with strong implications for the normalization of the power spectrum of the initial density fluctuations. We also calculate the nonlinear two-point correlation function for matter with an initial spectrum (equivalent to white noise in 3D) of fluctuations; differences from the linear approximation appear at scales much larger than those considered previously of 10h ^–1 Mpc.Paper presented at the 11th European Regional Astronomical Meetings of the IAU on New Windows to the Universe, held 3–8 July, 1989, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.  相似文献   

Circulation Features Associated with the Record-breaking Typhoon Silence in August 2014     

Jianpu BIAN  Juan FANG  Guanghua CHEN  Chengji LIU 《大气科学进展》2018,35(10):1321-1336

Climatologically, August is the month with the most tropical cyclone(TC) formation over the western North Pacific(WNP) during the typhoon season. In this study, the reason for abnormal TC activity during August is discussed—especially August 2014, when no TCs formed. The large-scale background of August 2014 is presented, with low-level large-scale easterly anomalies and anticyclonic anomalies dominating over the main TC genesis region, a weak monsoon trough system,and a strong WNP subtropical high(WPSH), leading to significantly reduced low-level convergence, upper-level divergence,and mid-level upward motion. These unfavorable large-scale conditions suppressed convection and cyclogenesis. In August2014, equatorial waves were inactive within the negative phase of the Madden–Julian Oscillation(MJO), with fewer tropical disturbances. Although the low-level vorticity and convection of those disturbances were partly promoted by the convective envelopes of equatorial waves, the integral evolution of disturbances, as well as the equatorial waves, were suppressed when propagating into the negative MJO phase. Moreover, the upper-level potential vorticity(PV) streamers associated with anticyclonic Rossby wave breaking events imported extratropical cold and dry air into the tropics. The peripheral tropospheric dryness and enhanced vertical wind shear by PV streamer intrusion combined with the negative MJO phase were responsible for the absence of TC formation over the WNP in August 2014.  相似文献   

Climate change implications for irrigation and groundwater in the Republican River Basin,USA     

Gengxin Ou  Francisco Munoz-Arriola  Daniel R. Uden  Derrel Martin  Craig R. Allen  Nancy Shank 《Climatic change》2018,151(2):303-316

This study investigates the influence of climate change on groundwater availability, and thereby, irrigation across political boundaries within the US High Plains aquifer. A regression model is developed to predict changes in irrigation according to predicted changes in precipitation and temperature from a downscaled dataset of 32 general circulation models (GCMs). Precipitation recharge changes are calculated with precipitation-recharge curves developed for prognostic representations of precipitation across the Nebraska-Colorado-Kansas area and within the Republican River Basin focal landscape. Irrigation-recharge changes are scaled with changes in irrigation. The groundwater responses to climate forcings are then simulated under new pumping and recharge rates using a MODFLOW groundwater flow model. Results show that groundwater pumping and recharge both will increase and that the effects of groundwater pumping will overshadow those from natural fluctuations. Groundwater levels will decline more in areas with irrigation-driven decreasing trends in the baseline. The methodologies and predictions of this study can inform long-term water planning and the design of management strategies that help avoid and resolve water-related conflicts, enabling irrigation sustainability.  相似文献

A formal framework for the representation of stack-based terrains     

Alejandro Graciano  Antonio Jesús Rueda  Francisco Ramón Feito 《International journal of geographical information science》2018,32(10):1999-2022

This paper presents a formal framework for the representation of three-dimensional geospatial data and the definition of common geographic information system (GIS) spatial operations. We use the compact stack-based representation of terrains (SBRT) in order to model geological volumetric data, both at the surface and subsurface levels, thus preventing the large storage requirements of regular voxel models. The main contribution of this paper is fitting the SBRT into the geo-atom theory in a seamless way, providing it with a sound formal geographic foundation. In addition we have defined a set of common spatial operations on this representation using the tools provided by map algebra. More complex geoprocessing operations or geophysical simulations using the SBRT as representation can be implemented as a composition of these fundamental operations. Finally a data model and an implementation extending the coverage concept provided by the Geography Markup Language standard are suggested. Geoscientists and GIS professionals can take advantage of this model to exchange and reuse geoinformation within a well-specified framework.  相似文献
