Meteorological Aspects, Ozone, and Solar Radiation Measurements During POPCORN 1994     

Theo Brauers  Hans-Peter Dorn  Helmut Koch  Annette B. Kraus  Christian Plass-Dülmer 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1998,31(1-2):33-52

Meteorological data, ozone mixing ratios, and photolysis frequencies for the period August 2 to August 24, 1994, are presented and discussed in support of the field campaign POPCORN (Photochemistry of Plant Emitted Compounds and OH Radicals in Northeastern Germany). Measurements of temperature, ozone, and wind speed at different heights are used to evaluate micro-meteorological parameters. The observations provide information about local influences on the air mass composition. The analysis of radio sonde data of nearby stations provides the height of the planetary boundary layer.  相似文献

A brief introduction is given of the Grid–point 9–layer Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results of the 1980–1989 Atmospheric Model Inter-Comparison Program (AMIP) run were compared with observed European Centre for Medium-Range weather Forecasts (ECMWF) temperature data for the same period. The statistical analysis, and Grids Analysis and Display System (GrADS) results have shown that the model holds a great promise in predicting the African climate with considerable accuracy, within and across the seasons. This is a great hope for climate research in Africa which is data-sparse region. On leave from School of Physical Sciences, Imo State University, PMB 2000 Owerri, Nigeria.  相似文献   

An accumulation theory approach to the explanation of regional disparities in underdeveloped countries     

Theo Rauch 《Geoforum》1984,15(2):209-229

This article argues that the current explanations (polarization and polarization reversal theories) for the existing and widening regional disparities found in the developing countries are unsatisfactory and lead to unhelpful policy initiatives. It accepts the existance of polarisation and equalization mechanisms but argues that the influence of the historically and spatially differentiated socio-economic structure is the proper focus of attention.  相似文献   

The use of multi‐frequency acquisition to significantly improve the quality of fibre‐optic‐distributed vibration sensing          下载免费PDF全文

Unlike conventional sensors that measure the passage of seismic waves at a single position, distributed vibration sensing systems, also known as distributed acoustic sensing systems, detect the passage of seismic waves by averaging a measurement of strain over a section of fibre‐optic cable. Distributed vibration sensing systems work by transmitting pulses of light down the fibre and measuring the phase of the Rayleigh backscatter. At random positions along the fibre, however, fading occurs; this is where the amplitude of the backscattered signal is very small due to cancellation of the scattered electric fields, resulting in anomalously noisy traces in a common source gather. This paper addresses the problem of fading in a particular form of distributed vibration sensors: a new optical arrangement of the instrumentation is described that allows the measurement to be carried out quasi‐simultaneously at multiple optical interrogation frequencies. The interrogation frequencies are chosen to be sufficiently different that their fading properties are distinct and the diversity thus obtained is used to aggregate the data obtained to substantially reduce the noise caused by fading. As well as reducing the effects of fading, the aggregation of the independent results can also help to reduce the overall noise of the measurement and improve the linearity of the distributed vibration sensing system.  相似文献

The Planet Formation Imager (PFI, www.planetformationimager.org) is a next-generation infrared interferometer array with the primary goal of imaging the active phases of planet formation in nearby star forming regions. PFI will be sensitive to warm dust emission using mid-infrared capabilities made possible by precise fringe tracking in the near-infrared. An L/M band combiner will be especially sensitive to thermal emission from young exoplanets (and their disks) with a high spectral resolution mode to probe the kinematics of CO and H₂O gas. In this paper, we give an overview of the main science goals of PFI, define a baseline PFI architecture that can achieve those goals, point at remaining technical challenges, and suggest activities today that will help make the Planet Formation Imager facility a reality.  相似文献   

Contribution à l'étude du spectre solaire de l'hydrogène     

Y. Cuny 《Solar physics》1968,3(1):204-240

R'esumé Les raies et le rayonnement continu de l'hydrogène sont calculés, dans le cas solaire, en tenant compte des écarts à l'équilibre thermodynamique local.La comparaison des résultats, interprétés par la théorie de la formation des raies de Jefferies et Thomas, avec les observations donne des renseignements sur le modèle de l'atmosphère solaire.L'énergie émise par Ly dépend très fortement de la densité électronique. Seuls les modèles á palier de température dans la haute chromosphère donnent un profil de Ly à dépression centrale.La raie H, qui est contrôlée essentiellement pour les photoionisations dépend surtout du modèle de photosphère; toutefois les modèles de chromosphère à fortes température et densité électroniques ont une influence sur le profil de H.

Summary The continuous and line spectrum of hydrogen emitted by the sun is computed, taking deviations of local thermal equilibrium into account. The theory of line formation as given by Jefferies and Thomas has been applied to the computations; a comparison of these results with the observations gives information on the solar atmospheric model.The energy emitted by Lyman has been computed for a two- and three-level atom: it appears to increase slightly with the number of levels. The energies, computed with the HAO model and the model of Coates, are larger than the observed values. The core of the Lyman profile is determined by collisions; the peaks are formed at a height where the electron temperature is about 20 000 °K; the energy depends very strongly on the electron density of the model.It is shown that the profile of Lyman only shows a central self reversal if the model of the high chromosphere has a temperature plateau.An interpretation of the observed distance of the peaks of the Lyman and Lyman line profiles is possible; it can also be shown why the distance of the Lyman peaks to the line centre is always of the order of 0.2 Å.The residual central intensity of H increases slightly with the number of atomic levels; the value computed with a five level atom, with the HAO chromospheric model, and the Utrecht photospheric model (1964) does not differ very much from the observed value: it is slightly smaller than the observed value and the computed profile is narrower than the observed profile.In the case of the HAO model the source function of H is dominated by the photo-ionization terms; nevertheless, the collision terms are not much smaller than the photo-ionization terms; the residual central intensity of H computed with a chromospheric model similar to the interspicular model of Athay and Thomas but assuming a higher electron temperature and density is larger than the observed value.

基于热力适应理论,本文利用 ＮＣＥＰ／ ＮＣＡＲ再分析资料对撒哈拉沙漠、青藏高原和孟加拉湾地区的非绝热加热与夏季环流进行了诊断研究。在非洲撒哈拉沙漠地区,以感热输送为主的加热仅局限于近地面层,边界层以上的大气则以辐射冷却占优势。因而除了边界层内存在着浅薄的正涡度和微弱的上升运动以外,整个对流层几乎都维持负涡度并盛行下沉运动。对于青藏高原地区,强大的表面感热通量引起的垂直扩散是近地面大气加热的主要分量,与大尺度上升运动相关的凝结潜热对低层大气的加热也有一定的贡献。长波辐射造成的对流层中、上层大气的冷却则主要由深对流潜热释放来补偿。夏季高原地区总非绝热加热是正值,且最大加热率出现在边界层内。低空大气辐合产生正涡度,而中、高层大气辐散伴有较强的负涡度。因而高原盛行上升运动,最大上升运动位于近地面层。夏季孟加拉湾地区的深对流凝结潜热释放远大于长波辐的冷却作用,因而整个对流层几乎都保持较强的非绝热加热。４００ｈＰａ层附近的最大加热率引起３００－４００ｈＰａ最强的上升运动。对流层上层是负涡度区,而中、低层为正涡度区。结果还表明,垂直和水平辐散环流与大气的热源和热汇区密切相联：在高层,辐散气流从热源区流向热汇区;在低层则相  相似文献   

Why Web GIS May Not Be Enough: A Case Study with the Virtual Research Vessel     

Dawn J. Wright  Elizabeth O'Dea  Judith B. Cushing  Janice E. Cuny  Douglas R. Toomey 《Marine Geodesy》2013,36(1-2):73-86

During several decades of investigation, the East Pacific Rise seafloor-spreading center at 9°-10°N has been explored by marine geologists, geophysicists, chemists, and biologists, and has emerged as one of the best studied sections of the global midocean ridge. It is an example of a region for which there is now a great wealth of observational data, results, and data-driven theoretical studies. However, these have yet to be fully utilized, either by research scientists or educators. While the situation is improving, a large amount of data, results, and related theoretical models still exist either in an inert, noninteractive form (e.g., journal publications) or as unlinked and currently incompatible computer data or algorithms. Presented here is the prototype of a computational environment and toolset, called the Virtual Research Vessel, to improve the situation by providing marine scientists and educators with simultaneous access to data, maps, and numerical models. While infrastructure is desired and needed for ready access to data and the resulting maps via web GIS in order to link disparate data sets (data to data), it is argued that data must also be linked to models for better exploration of new relations between observables, refinement of numerical simulations, and the quantitative evaluation of scientific hypotheses. For widespread data access, web GIS is therefore only a preliminary step rather than a final solution, and the ongoing implementation of the Virtual Research Vessel (scheduled for final completion in 2004-2005) is a case study for the midocean ridge community to test the effectiveness of moving beyond the data-to-data mode towards data-to-models and data-to-interpretation.  相似文献   

A multilevel path analysis of contact frequency between social network members     

Pauline van den Berg  Theo Arentze  Harry Timmermans 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2012,14(2):125-141

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the role of social networks in spatial-choice and travel behavior. It has been acknowledged that social activities and the travel for these activities can emerge from individuals’ social networks and that social activities are responsible for an important portion of travel demand. The influence of information and communication technologies (ICT’s) is also important in this respect. The purpose of the paper is to examine the effects of characteristics of egos and ego-alter relationships on the frequency of social interaction by different communication modes, using multilevel path analysis. The analyses are based on social network data collected in 2008 in the Eindhoven region in the Netherlands among 116 respondents. The results indicate a complementary relationship between contact frequencies by different modes. The contact frequencies of the different modes, especially face-to-face and telephone, can also be largely explained by the ego’s personal characteristics and the type of relationship and the distance between ego and alter.  相似文献
