The International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH): reflecting on 60 years of contributions to groundwater science and water management 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The 60th anniversary of the founding of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) is an important milestone that allows pause for reflection on how the association has evolved over the years and the contributions it has made to groundwater science and water management. IAH was founded in 1956 at the 20th International Geological Congress and developed rapidly during the 1980s and 1990s in response to a growing global interest in groundwater mapping and in sound approaches to resource protection and sustainable aquifer management. Incorporated in 2000, IAH has now secured its position as the world’s leading international association specialising in groundwater with over 4,100 members in 131 countries. Much credit for this success must go to members, past and present, whose individual efforts and collaboration with sister institutions are documented here. These members have shaped the association’s goals and contributed selflessly to its scientific programmes, publications and educational and charitable activities. Looking ahead to the next 60 years, it is essential that IAH does not rest on past achievements but listens and adjusts to the needs of members while continuing to pursue its mission of furthering the understanding, wise use and protection of groundwater resources throughout the world. 相似文献

A few years ago, we identified a deep convective transport mechanism, of water vapor through the tropopause, namely, storm top gravity wave breaking, such that tropospheric water substance can be injected into the lower stratosphere via this pathway. The main evidence presented previously was taken from the lower resolution AVHRR images of the storm anvil top cirrus plumes obtained by polar orbiting satellites. Recent observations have provided further supporting evidence for this important cross-tropopause transport mechanism. There are now many higher resolution satellite images, mainly from MODIS instrument, that show more definitely the existence of these plumes, many of which would probably be unseen by lower resolution images.Furthermore, a thunderstorm movie taken in Denver (USA) area during STEPS2000 field campaign and another thunderstorm movie taken by a building top webcam in Zurich also demonstrate that the jumping cirrus phenomenon, first identified by T. Fujita in 1980s, may be quite common in active thunderstorm cells, quite contrary to previous belief that it is rare. We have used a cloud model to demonstrate that the jumping cirrus is exactly the gravity wave breaking phenomenon that transports water vapor through the tropopause.These additional evidences provide increasing support that deep convection contributes substantially to the troposphere-to-stratosphere transport of water substance. This corroborates well with recent studies of the stratospheric HDO/H2O ratio which is much highly than it would be if the transport is via slow ascent. The only explanation that can be used to interpret this observation at present is that water substance is transported through the tropopause via rapid vertical motion, i.e., deep convection. 相似文献

In modern geoscience, understanding the climate depends on the information about the oceans. Covering two-thirds of the Earth, oceans play an important role. Oceanic phenomena are, for example: oceanic circulation; water exchanges between atmosphere, land, and ocean; or temporal changes of the total water volume. All these features require new methods in constructive approximation, since they are regionally bounded and not globally observable. This article deals with a new and alternative method of handling data with locally supported basis functions, modeling them in a multiscale scheme involving a wavelet approximation and presenting the main results for the dynamic topography and the geostrophic flow, e.g., in the Northern Atlantic. Further, it is demonstrated that compressional rates of the occurring wavelet transforms can be achieved by using of locally supported wavelets and investigating the signal distribution within different frequency bands. 相似文献

In cases when an equivalent porous medium assumption is suitable for simulating groundwater flow in bedrock aquifers, estimation of seepage into underground mine workings (UMWs) can be achieved by specifying MODFLOW drain nodes at the contact between water bearing rock and dewatered mine openings. However, this approach results in significant numerical problems when applied to simulate seepage into an extensive network of UMWs, which often exist at the mine sites. Numerical simulations conducted for individual UMWs, such as a vertical shaft or a horizontal drift, showed that accurate prediction of seepage rates can be achieved by either applying grid spacing that is much finer than the diameter/width of the simulated openings (explicit modeling) or using coarser grid with cell sizes exceeding the characteristic width of shafts or drifts by a factor of 3. Theoretical insight into this phenomenon is presented, based on the so-called well-index theory. It is demonstrated that applying this theory allows to minimize numerical errors associated with MODFLOW simulation of seepage into UMWs on a relatively coarse Cartesian grid. Presented examples include simulated steady-state groundwater flow from homogeneous, heterogeneous, and/or anisotropic rock into a vertical shaft, a horizontal drift/cross-cut, a ramp, two parallel drifts, and a combined system of a vertical shaft connected to a horizontal drift. 相似文献

Impulse waves generated by rapid subaerial landslides into water bodies may pose a threat to riparian settlements and infrastructure. Empirically derived prediction equations based on experiments at laboratory scale provide information on key wave characteristics for preliminary hazard assessment. This research discusses existing prediction methods for spatial wave propagation features and compares their results with own impulse wave height decay experiments. While some prediction methods are based on simplified approaches for wave generation such as rigid body slides, others take only limited sets of slide parameters into account, narrowing their range of applicability considerably. The prediction methods are intentionally applied outside their ranges of applicability with the aim to assess their characteristics on an extended parameter range. It is found that a combination of separate terms for wave generation and wave propagation from two different existing prediction methods provides the best representation of the experimental data. 相似文献

During the spring seasons of 1983, 1986 and 1987 the development of phytoplankton in Lake Zürich was investigated (from February
to May) using samples taken at short term intervals. The aim was to describe the effects of the short term dynamics of environmental
factors on the algal growth. The results could then be used to discuss the existing theories to assess the start of phytoplankton
growth pulses in spring.
Only 7 to 10 days without wind driven vertical mixing were required in spring to start the first growth pulse, despite of
a still very unstable water column (sometimes inverse thermal stratification). Mainly flagellates andStephanodiscus hantzschii increased their biomass and achieved net growth rates of 0.1 and up to 0.65 d−1 respectively. During such a phase the mixing depth was always smaller than the euphotic depth. Later on, at the start of
the spring bloom (=last growth pulse in spring before the clear water stage), the intensity of vertical mixing as well as
the mixing depth were markedly reduced due to an increase in heat input and low wind. Then flagellates dominated (contribution
up to 75.5% of the areal biomass reaching 60 g fresh weight m−2) and the growth rate rose to a maximum of 0.65 d−1.
Standard models of critical depth considers that there is only a biomass increase if the mixing depth is smaller than the
depth of a water layer positive balanced between production and respiration. This model for determining the beginning of a
phytoplankton growth pulse in spring takes no account of the favorable light conditions for phytoplankton cells at calm and
sunny days in February and March. The newly developed threshold value model takes these situations into account: It assumes
that the phytoplankton biomass increases when the calculated effective light climate is equal or greater than a previously
fixed threshold. The calculations are based on the mean light intensity within the mixed layer at windy days or within the
euphotic depth (z
eu) at calm days. In Lake Zürich a minimum of 0.2 106 J m−2d−1 (=0.9 mol quanta m−2d−1) has to be reached or surpassed in at least 3 days before an exponential increase of algal biomass can occur. The value does
not depend on short term fluctuations in neither radiation nor mixing depth. It seems that this value is rather low comparing
with those of investigations in other water bodies (up to 0.8 106 J m−2 d−1) but high related to values from algal cultures (0.02 106 J m−2d−1). As the weather can only be forecasted a few days ahead with any certainty the period for a more or less accurate prediction
of an algal bloom is restricted to about 1 to 5 days. 相似文献

Harmonic wavelets are introduced within the framework of the Sobolev-like Hilbert space H of potentials with square-integrable restrictions to the Earth's (mean) sphere
R
. Basic tool is the construction of H-product kernels in terms of an (outer harmonics) orthonormal basis in H. Scaling function and wavelet are defined by means of so-called H-product kernels. Harmonic wavelets are shown to be building blocks that decorrelate geopotential data. A pyramid scheme enables fast computations. Multiscale signal-to-noise thresholding provides suitable denoising. Multiscale modelling of the Earth's anomalous potential from EGM96-model data is illustrated by use of bandlimited harmonic wavelets, i.e. Shannon and CP-wavelets. 相似文献
