Window technique for climate trend analysis     

Tamás Szentimrey  Tibor Faragó  Sándor Szalai 《Climate Dynamics》1992,6(3-4):127-134

Climatic characteristics are affected by various systematic and occasional impacts: besides the changes in the observing system (locations of the stations of the meteorological network, instruments, observing procedures), the possible local-scale and global natural and antropogenic impacts on climatic conditions should be taken into account. Apart from the predictability problems, the phenomenological analysis of the climatic variability and the determination of past persistent climatic anomalies are significant problems, among other aspects, as evidence of the possible anomalous behavior of climate or for climate impact studies. In this paper, a special technique for the identification of such shifts in the observational series is presented. The existence of these significant shorter or longer term changes in the mean characteristics for the properly selected adjoining periods of time is the necessary condition for the formation of any more or less unidirectional climatic trends. Actually, the window technique is based on a complete set of orthogonal functions. The sensitivity of the proposed model on its main parameters is also investigated. This method is applied for hemispheric and Hungarian data series of the mean annual surface temperature.Contribution to Clima Locarno — Past and Present Climate Dynamics; Conference September 1990, Swiss Academy of Sciences — National Climate Program  相似文献   

Les gisements d'or des tonalites archéennes (Abitibi,Québec)     

M. Jébrak 《Mineralium Deposita》1992,27(1):1-9

Résumé De nombreux gisements ont été mis en exploitation depuis une dizaine d'années dans des plutons granitiques de la ceinture de roches vertes archéennes de l'Abitibi. La plupart d'entre eux sont encaissés par des faciès sodiques. Dans la zone sud-est de cette ceintúre, il existe deux types de concentrations, des zones filoniennes et des disséminations à caractère porphyrique.Les gisements filoniens sont encaissés dans des sills ou des dykes de tonalite-trondhjemite. Deux associations minéralogiques sont distinguées, l'une avec tourmaline et scheelite, l'autre avec hématite et métaux de base, spécifiques de chacun des blocs lithotectoniques qui composent la ceinture. Les variations paragénétiques peuvent être mise en relation avec la profondeur de mise en place des systèmes hydrothermaux. A l'échelle d'un bloc, on observe des variations de la structure des minéralisations controlées par les variations de la pression de fluide, plus importante au coeur des massifs et conduisant à des structures plus régulières empruntant des zones de faiblesse préexistantes.Les disséminations sont associées à un granite tardif issu de la refusion de tonalites. Dans la région de Launay, près d'Amos, l'or est associé à des zones d'épisyénites avec pyrite et molybdénite, ou avec des zones de cisaillement. Elles pourraient correspondre à des concentrations plus précoces.

Several deposits have been developped since 10 years in granitics plutons of the Archean greenstone belt of Abitibi. Most of them are hosted by Na-rich granitoids. In the south-eastern part of Abitibi, two main type of deposit may be distinguished:The lode type is hosted in pre-tectonic dykes or sills of tonalite-trondhjemite. Two mineralogical association are caracterised, one with tourmaline, scheelite, the other with hematite, and seems specific of lithotectonic blocs. Paragenetic variations may be related to vertical variations of deposition. On a bloc scale, high fluid pressure predominate in the center of pluton and may be responsible for more regular structure.The disseminated type is hosted in late granodioritic intrusions associated with tonalite. The only occurrence of that type is the Launay deposit, near Amos. Gold is associated either with abite-rich episyenite, with pyrite and Mo, or with shear-zone cross-cutting the granitic intrusions.

Synchronous aperture synthesis observations of pulsars     

R. G. Strom  H. W. Van Someren Gréve 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,171(1-2):351-355

By modifying the online software of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope it is possible to sample the radio emission from a field containing a pulsar synchronously with the pulsed signal. Recording the emission from eight separate temporal windows, we can simultaneously observe both the on-pulse and off-pulse signals. We are using this technique for three different kinds of pulsar investigation: (a) to check and improve the positions of some pulsars; (b) to look for unpulsed components; and (c) to search for weak extended emission around pulsars. Observations have been carried out at 6, 21, 49, and 92 cm. Examples of results from all three types of investigation are given.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

Periodic orbits of an electric charge in a magnetic dipole field     

Lidia Jiménez-Lara  Eduardo Piña 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1990,49(4):327-345

Periodic orbits in the Stormer problem are studied using the symmetry lines of the Poincaré map introduced by De Vogelaere. Many known facts are explained by mean of these lines. The dynamics of four special symmetry lines when the Stormer parameter ₁ changes is presented, and we obtain a clear global view of the structure of the simple periodic orbits and their bifurcations, including the asymmetrical ones. New asymmetrical multiple periodic orbits are obtained.  相似文献   

Investigation of the electrostatic charging of dust particles in a Paul-trap     

S. Pintér  J. Švestka  E. Grün 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,171(1-2):217-218

Dust particles (glass, tungsten, and nickel) with sizes ranging from 0.25 to 3m were levitated in a Paul-trap and charged by ions or electrons. For ions the particle potential is limited at field strength of about 1×10⁹ V m^–1 by a temperature-dependent discharge mechanism. The particles interaction with 2 to 20 keV electrons always leads to positive surface potentials which can be explained in terms of a decreased absorption of electrons by small particles. Micrometer sized agglomerates were used for the investigation of the electrostatic fragmentation. Fragmentation takes place in a twofold manner: small surface flufl can be removed or the parent particle can be disrupted into smaller agglomerates.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

Study of the influence of katabatic flows on the Antarctic circulation using GCM simulations     

P. Pettré  M. F. Renaud  R. Renaud  M. Déqué  S. Planton  J. C. André 《Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics》1990,43(1-4):187-195

Summary A one dimensional analytical model of katabatic wind over the Antarctica has been developed. This parametric model is derived from the bulk two-layer model of Ball including the surface friction and taking into account the Earth's rotation and the geostrophic wind in the upper layer.This model is validated using the data set (70 soundings) collected during IAGO experiment at D47 (67°24S, 138°43E, altitude 1 564m), 110 km inland from the coast of Adélie Land.The parameteric model is then introduced into a GCM which is a spectral global version of the operational numerical weather prediction model used by the French weather service. The most significant effect of the parameterization is a 50 m increase of the geopotential height over the South Pole. The surface temperature at the South Pole increases (2°C) reducing the pole-midlatitude thermal gradient. The westerly circulation at 50° S is slowed down (4m/s at 850 hPa), and the surface pressure at the South Pole increases (4hPa). These results, consistent with an increase of katabatic winds, would however be improved by a better coupling between the parameterization and the GCM boundary layer.With 8 Figures  相似文献   

A Monte Carlo investigation of Jovian perturbations on short-period comet orbits     

C. Froeschlé  H. Rickman 《Icarus》1981,46(3):400-414

We present statistical distributions of Jovian perturbations on short-period comet orbits resulting from accurate numerical integrations. Our sample of 60, 000 cometary orbits with low inclinations and random orientations is characterized by perihelia between 0 and 7 AU and aphelia between 4 and 13 AU. The perturbations considered are those experienced because of Jupiter's gravitation per orbital revolution by the comets. Regularization and accurate step-length control in the numerical integration gives statistical results appreciably different from those computed by Rickman and Vaghi (1978). Their use of a crude method of integration led to erroneous results for close encounters. Strong asymmetries of the $\text{δ(}\text{1}\text{a}\text{)}$ distributions, in particular for the extreme tails, are observed for perihelion- or aphelion-tangent orbits. These orbits are also shown to experience the strongest energy perturbations on the average. Some results concerning the perturbations of Tisserand parameters are indicated. The perturbation distributions for the angular elements are described and discussed. The role of the minimum distance from Jupiter as an indicator of perturbations is investigated.  相似文献   

Interstellar clouds and the formation of stars     

Hannes Alfvén  Per Carlqvist 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1978,55(2):487-509

Part I gives a survey of the drastic revision of cosmic plasma physics which is precipitated by the exploration of the magnetosphere throughin situ measurements. The pseudo-plasma formalism, which until now has almost completely dominated theoretical astrophysics, must be replaced by an experimentally based approach involving the introduction of a number of neglected plasma phenomena, such as electric double layers, critical velocity, and pinch effect. The general belief that star light is the main ionizer is shown to be doubtful; hydromagnetic conversion of gravitational and kinetic energy may often be much more important.In Part II the revised plasma physics is applied to dark clouds and star formation. Magnetic fields do not necessarily counteract the contraction of a cloud; they may just as well pinch the cloud. Magnetic compression may be the main mechanism for forming interstellar clouds and keeping them together.Part III treats the formation of stars in a dusty cosmic plasma cloud. Star formation is due to an instability, but it is very unlikely that it has anything to do with the Jeans instability. A reasonable mechanism is that the sedimentation of dust (including solid bodies of different size) is triggering off a gravitationally assisted accretion. A stellesimal accretion analogous to the planetesimal accretion leads to the formation of a star surrounded by a very low density hollow in the cloud. Matter falling in from the cloud towards the star is the raw material for the formation of planets and satellites.The study of the evolution of a dark cloud leads to a scenario of planet formation which is reconcilable with the results obtained from studies based on solar system data. This means that the new approach to cosmical plasma physics discussed in Part I logically leads to a consistent picture of the evolution of dark clouds and the formation of solar systems.  相似文献
