The water and energy exchanges in forests form one of the most important hydro‐meteorological systems. There have been far fewer investigations of the water and heat exchange in high latitude forests than of those in warm, humid regions. There have been few observations of this system in Siberia for an entire growing season, including the snowmelt and leaf‐fall seasons. In this study, the characteristics of the energy and water budgets in an eastern Siberian larch forest were investigated from the snowmelt season to the leaf‐fall season. The latent heat flux was strongly affected by the transpiration activity of the larch trees and increased quickly as the larch stand began to foliate. The sensible heat dropped at that time, although the net all‐wave radiation increased. Consequently, the seasonal variation in the Bowen ratio was clearly ‘U’‐shaped, and the minimum value (1·0) occurred in June and July. The Bowen ratio was very high (10–25) in early spring, just before leaf opening. The canopy resistance for a big leaf model far exceeded the aerodynamic resistance and fluctuated over a much wider range. The canopy resistance was strongly restricted by the saturation deficit, and its minimum value was 100 s m^?1 (10 mm s^?1 in conductance). This minimum canopy resistance is higher than values obtained for forests in warm, humid regions, but is similar to those measured in other boreal conifer forests. It has been suggested that the senescence of leaves also affects the canopy resistance, which was higher in the leaf‐fall season than in the foliated season. The mean evapotranspiration rate from 21 April 1998 to 7 September 1998 was 1·16 mm day^?1, and the maximum rate, 2·9 mm day^?1, occurred at the beginning of July. For the growing season from 1 June to 31 August, this rate was 1·5 mm day^?1. The total evapotranspiration from the forest (151 mm) exceeded the amount of precipitation (106 mm) and was equal to 73% of the total water input (211 mm), including the snow water equivalent. The understory evapotranspiration reached 35% of the total evapotranspiration, and the interception evaporation was 15% of the gross precipitation. The understory evapotranspiration was high and the interception evaporation was low because the canopy was sparse and the leaf area index was low. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Elements of spin motion     

Toshio Fukushima  Hideharu Ishizaki 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》1994,59(2):149-159

For use in numerical studies of rotational motion, a set of elements is introduced for the torque-free rotational motion of a rigid body around its barycenter. The elements are defined as the initial values of a modification of the Andoyer canonical variables. A computational procedure is obtained for determining these elements from the combination of the spin angular momentum vector and a triad defining the orientation of the rigid body. A numerical experiment shows that the errors of transformation between the elements and variables are sufficiently small. The errors increase linearly with time for some elements and quadratically for some others.  相似文献   

Semi-empirical estimation of ground motion using observed records at a site in Shikoku, Japan     

Yoshimitsu Fukushima  Masafumi Mori  Shin'ichi Matsuzaki  Shuji Kobayashi  Yuki Ohno 《Journal of Seismology》2001,5(1):63-72

A semi-empirical approach using fore- or after-shockrecords as Green's functions is applicable to thesimulation of strong ground motion, however suchrecords are obviously not available for predictionpurposes. Thus we have predicted ground motion fora hypothetical large earthquake from other minorevents by adopting a distance correction based ongeometrical spreading. Another difficulty inprediction is fault modeling. Surface traces weresimplified as fault models 27, 46, 55, and 77 km inlength. Further, the actual fault rupture may beinhomogeneous, so an asperity distribution isassumed. This asperity model assumes thatdislocation and stress drop are double than theaverage values. Although, the near field term isneglected in our simulation, no significantdifference was seen in the motions estimated byindividual models for periods up to 2.0 seconds. This indicates that the dependence of source size issmall for strong motion, perhaps as a result of therandom summation of high-frequency phases.  相似文献   

Rectangular rotation of spherical harmonic expansion of arbitrary high degree and order     

Toshio Fukushima 《Journal of Geodesy》2017,91(8):995-1011

In order to move the polar singularity of arbitrary spherical harmonic expansion to a point on the equator, we rotate the expansion around the y-axis by \(90^{\circ }\) such that the x-axis becomes a new pole. The expansion coefficients are transformed by multiplying a special value of Wigner D-matrix and a normalization factor. The transformation matrix is unchanged whether the coefficients are \(4 \pi \) fully normalized or Schmidt quasi-normalized. The matrix is recursively computed by the so-called X-number formulation (Fukushima in J Geodesy 86: 271–285, 2012a). As an example, we obtained \(2190\times 2190\) coefficients of the rectangular rotated spherical harmonic expansion of EGM2008. A proper combination of the original and the rotated expansions will be useful in (i) integrating the polar orbits of artificial satellites precisely and (ii) synthesizing/analyzing the gravitational/geomagnetic potentials and their derivatives accurately in the high latitude regions including the arctic and antarctic area.  相似文献   

Dissolved organic carbon in a eutrophic lake; dynamics,biodegradability and origin   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The seasonal and spatial changes in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Lake Kasumigaura, a shallow, eutrophic lake, were analyzed and the lability of DOC was tested by long-term incubations. There was a nearly 1 mgCl^–1 downstream increase in refractory DOC in the lake; at the center it fluctuated little seasonally. The characteristic UV-absorbance: DOC ratios were determined for samples from the influent rivers (pedogenic: used interchangeably with allochthonous) and outdoor experimental ponds (autochthonous) during incubations. These ratios were then used to calculate the proportion of total measured lake water DOC in each of four components: pedogenic-refractory (PR), pedogenic-labile (PL), autochthonous-refractory (AR) and autochthonous-labile (AL). PR was uniform (around 1.5 mgCl^–1) or diminished very slightly over time. AR increased from nearly zero at the station closest to an influent river to 1 mgCl^–1 at the lake center. PL declined downstream from 0.3 mgCl^–1 to zero. AL was virtually constant at 0.8 mgCl^–1 except at the station closest to the influent river. The constancy of the UV-absorbance: DOC ratio during the biodegradation process was confirmed for Lake Kasumigaura; hence a two-component model (pedogenic-autochthonous) could be applied here without consideration of DOC lability. However, this assumption is not always met for other water bodies, and therefore it should be checked before applying a two-component model elsewhere.  相似文献   

A direct numerical approach to the Chandrasekhar'sH-functions for arbitrary characteristic functions     

Kiyoshi Kawabata  Takehiko Satoh  Sueo Ueno 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1991,182(2):249-260

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical technique to directly compute the Chandrasekhar'sH ()-function for anisotropic scattering in terms of the roots of the characteristic equations as well as the quadrature points of a certain degreen employed to approximate the definite integral involved in the basic equation. The principal feature of the algorithm proposed here is a compact computer code to enumerate _n C _m combinations ofn distinct integers {1,...,n} takenm at a time. With these quantities available, the coefficients of the polynomial equation of the characteristics equation can be readily computed for any given characteristic function, so that a standard technique such as the Laguerre method can be applied to find all the roots.It is shown that the results obtained for some representativeH()-functions using the present technique with relatively low-order formula (e.g.,n=7) are sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes.  相似文献   

Some regular patterns in the distribution of sediment contamination in the coastal waters along Japan     

Yasushi Hiraizumi  Takehiko Manabe  Hajime Nishimura 《Journal of Oceanography》1978,34(5):222-232

Observations of sediment contamination along the coast of Japan were analyzed. When the pollutant concentration is divided by the fine particle fraction in the sediment, a regular pattern is observed in the quantitative relationship among the degree and the area of contamination and the discharge rate of pollutant released continuously into the water along the coast. This regularity was observed with respect to COD,n-hexane soluble substances and heavy metals, and could be expressed by a formula.Polluted particles were supposed to disperse through suspension in the bottom water layer, and thus their distribution in the surface sediment is expected to become similar to effluent dispersion in the surface water.  相似文献   

Validation of ADEOS-II GLI ocean color products using in-situ observations

The Global Imager (GLI) aboard the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) made global observations from 2 April 2003 to 24 October 2003. In cooperation with several institutes and scientists, we obtained quality controlled match-ups between GLI products and in-situ data, 116 for chlorophyll-a concentration (CHLA), 249 for normalized water-leaving radiance (nLw) at 443 nm, and 201 for aerosol optical thickness at 865 nm (Tau_865) and Angstrom exponent between 520 and 865 nm (Angstrom). We evaluated the GLI ocean color products and investigated the causes of errors using the match-ups. The median absolute percentage differences (MedPD) between GLI and in-situ data were 14.1–35.7% for nLws at 380–565 nm, 52.5–74.8% nLws at 625–680 nm, 47.6% for Tau_865, 46.2% for Angstrom, and 46.6% for CHLA, values that are comparable to the ocean-color products of other sensors. We found that some errors in GLI products are correlated with observational conditions; nLw values were underestimated when nLw at 680 nm was high, CHLA was underestimated in absorptive aerosol conditions, and Tau_865 was overestimated in sunglint regions. The error correlations indicate that we need to improve the retrievals of the optical properties of absorptive aerosols and seawater and sea surface reflection for further applications, including coastal monitoring and the combined use of products from multiple sensors.  相似文献   

Structure of the strong tidal jet in the naruto strait     

Yoshio Takasugi  Tateki Fujiwara  Takehiko Higo 《Journal of Oceanography》1990,46(3):69-83

In order to clarify the structure of the strong tidal current at the Naruto Strait in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan, the sea-level values were observed in the strait and the current measurements were made with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).The tidal volume transports for M₂ and S₂ tides were about 74×10³ and 26×10³ m³ sec^–1, respectively. The horizontal profile of the velocity at the phase of the strong tidal current compares favorably with a theoretical profile of the two-dimensional steady turbulent jet except for the side parts of the profile. Moreover, the entrainment rate of the surrounding water into the strong tidal jet was estimated from the difference of mass flux between two cross-sections at the strait, the entrainment rate and entrainment constant for both the northward and southward flows being about 1.3–2.5×10^–4m^–1 and about 0.03–0.05, respectively.  相似文献   

Contribution to geomagneticSq-field and equatorial electrojet from the day/night asymmetry of ionospheric current under dawn-to-dusk electric field of magnetospheric origin     

Naoshi Fukushima 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1989,131(3):437-446

If the earth and its ionosphere are immersed in a large-scale dawn-to-dusk electric field (of the order of 0.5 mV/m), the resultant dawn-to-dusk ionospheric currents are much stronger on the dayside than on the nightside. These asymmetric currents over the earth produce a magnetic field detectable on the ground, which will contribute to a considerable extent to theSq-field and equatorial electrojet.This paper was presented at the IAGA General Assembly meeting (Session 9.1) held in Vancouver, Canada, during August 1987.  相似文献
