Summary The summer monsoon rainfall over Orissa, a state of eastern India, shows characteristic intraseasonal and interannual variability,
due to interaction of basic westerly flow with orography and the synoptic scale monsoon disturbances including low-pressure
systems and cyclonic circulations extending upto mid-tropospheric level (LPSC). These systems normally develop over the north
Bay of Bengal and move west-northwestwards along the monsoon trough. The essence of this study is to find out the main features
of the intraseasonal variability of daily monsoon rainfall over Orissa in relation to synoptic systems like LPSC and its implication
on the interannual variation of rainfall. For this purpose, the actual and mean daily rainfall data of 31 uniformly distributed
stations, six homogeneous regions and Orissa as a whole during monsoon season (June–September) over a period of 20 years (1980–1999)
are subjected to auto-correlation and power spectrum analyses. The actual and average daily scores of significant EOFs and
actual daily occurrence along with daily probability of occurrence of the LPSC influencing rainfall over Orissa during the
same period are also subjected to auto-correlation and power spectrum analyses.
The intraseasonal variation of monsoon rainfall over Orissa and different homogeneous regions is dominated by the synoptic
mode (3–9 days) of variation due to the similar mode of variation in the occurrence of LPSC influencing the rainfall. The
seasonal rainfall and hence the interannual variation depends on the intraseasonal variation of rainfall modulated with the
synoptic mode of variation in the occurrence of the LPSC. The occurrence of LPSC over the northwest (NW) Bay/NW and adjoining
northeast (NE) Bay and its subsequent movement and persistence over Orissa and east Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh in synoptic
mode (3–6 days) alongwith absence of similar mode in the occurrence of the LPSC over NE Bay, Gangetic West Bengal (GWB) in
the north and west central (WC) Bay to the south leads to excess rainfall over different homogeneous regions and Orissa as
a whole. The reverse is the case in deficient years over Orissa and all homogeneous regions except southwest Orissa. The occurrence
of the LPSC over GWB in synoptic mode (about 5 days) alongwith absence of synoptic mode in the occurrence of the LPSC over
NW Bay leads to deficient rainfall year over southwest Orissa.

Meteorite “finds” from the terrestrial hot deserts have become a major contributor to the inventory of Martian meteorites. In order to understand their nitrogen and noble gas components, we have carried out stepped heating experiments on samples from two Martian meteorites collected from hot deserts. We measured interior and surface bulk samples, glassy and non-glassy portions of Dar al Gani 476 and Sayh al Uhaymir 005. We have also analyzed noble gases released from the Antarctic shergottite Lewis Cliff 88516 by crushing and stepped heating. For the hot desert meteorites significant terrestrial Ar, Kr, Xe contamination is observed, with an elementally fractionated air (EFA) component dominating the low temperature releases. The extremely low Ar/Kr/Xe ratios of EFA may be the result of multiple episodes of trapping/loss during terrestrial alteration involving aqueous fluids. We suggest fractionation processes similar to those in hot deserts to have acted on Mars, with acidic weathering on the latter possibly even more effective in producing elementally fractionated components. Addition from fission xenon is apparent in DaG 476 and SaU 005. The Ar-Kr-Xe patterns for LEW 88516 show trends as typically observed in shergottites - including evidence for a crush-released component similar to that observed in EETA 79001. A trapped Ne component most prominent in the surface sample of DaG 476 may represent air contamination. It is accompanied by little trapped Ar (20Ne/36Ar > 50) and literature data suggest its presence also in some Antarctic finds. Data for LEW 88516 and literature data, on the other hand, suggest the presence of two trapped Ne components of Martian origin characterized by different 20Ne/22Ne, possibly related to the atmosphere and the interior. Caution is recommended in interpreting nitrogen and noble gas isotopic signatures of Martian meteorites from hot deserts in terms of extraterrestrial sources and processes. Nevertheless our results provide hope that vice-versa, via noble gases and nitrogen in meteorites and other relevant samples from terrestrial deserts, Martian secondary processes can be studied. 相似文献

Bauxite occurring as a blanket over volcanics of Precambrian Iron Ore Group in Kusumdih and Jaldih of Sundergarh district, Odisha, Eastern India exhibits four types of morphology viz. pisolitic, disseminated, spotted and massive. The volcanics/tuffs are altered to shale and is predominantly constituted of kaolinite. Microstructures documented in different morphologies of bauxite are collomorphous, framework, chain, stalactitic, reticulate, vesicle filled and foliated-platy types. Gibbsite, diaspore and kaolinite exhibit the abovementioned morphological and microstructural features. The morphological and microstructural characteristics are interpreted in terms of genetic evolution of aluminous minerals of bauxite in such a setup. Gibbsite and diaspore are formed through solution and precipitation/recrystallisation from kaolinite booklets present in parent tuffaceous shales. Some diaspores were formed at the expense of gibbsites. Small well-ordered kaolinites are of authigenic nature. Kaolinite formed inside a localized closed system containing supersaturated solution exhibits growth spirals. The textural and morphological diversities of the bauxite, abundance of well-ordered bauxite minerals and the absence of any iron/silica phase along with limited occurrence of primary kaolinite together suggest that the deposit has attained a high degree of bauxitisation in weathering environment at surface temperature. 相似文献

The main objective of the present work is to delineate the groundwater potential zones in Bilari watershed of district Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh. Remote Sensing data and GIS were used to delineate the groundwater potential zones of the area. IRS-1D (LISS III) data have been utilized to extract information on various themes such as geomorphology, structure, drainage and land use/land cover. Available lithology and soil maps have also been used. DEM has been generated from contours taken from Survey of India topographical maps in order to obtain the slope percentage and slope aspect of the area. The groundwater potential zones were delineated by weighted overlay analysis. The themes geology, geomorphology, slope and soil were considered and the weightages assigned to different classes of respective themes according to their role in groundwater potential. Finally, five groundwater potential zones viz., very good, good, moderate; poor and very poor were delineated for the study area. It was estimated that about 110.41?sq km area which forms 37.55% of the total area are in the zones of very poor, poor and moderate category and about 183.75?sq km (62.45%) in zones of good and very good category. 相似文献

The summer monsoon rainfall over Orissa, a state on the eastern coast of India, is more significantly related than Indian
summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) to the cyclonic disturbances developing over the Bay of Bengal. Orissa experiences floods and
droughts very often due to variation in the characteristics of these disturbances. Hence, an attempt was made to find out
the inter-annual variability in the rainfall over Orissa and the frequencies of different categories of cyclonic disturbances
affecting Orissa during monsoon season (June–September). For this purpose, different statistical characteristics, such as
mean, coefficient of variation, trends and periodicities in the rainfall and the frequencies of different categories of cyclonic
disturbances affecting Orissa, were analysed from 100 years (1901–2000) of data. The basic objective of the study was to find
out the contribution of inter-annual variability in the frequency of cyclonic disturbances to the inter-annual variability
of monsoon rainfall over Orissa.
The relationship between summer monsoon rainfall over Orissa and the frequency of cyclonic disturbances affecting Orissa shows
temporal variation. The correlation between them has significantly decreased since the 1950s. The variation in their relationship
is mainly due to the variation in the frequency of cyclonic disturbances affecting Orissa. The variability of both rainfall
and total cyclonic disturbances has been above normal since the 1960s, leading to more floods and droughts over Orissa during
recent years. The inter-annual variability of seasonal rainfall over Orissa and the frequency of cyclonic disturbances affecting
Orissa during monsoon season show a quasi-biennial oscillation period of 2–2.8 years. There is least impact of El Nino southern
oscillation (ENSO) on inter-annual variability of both the seasonal rainfall over Orissa and the frequencies of monsoon depressions/total
cyclonic disturbances affecting Orissa. 相似文献

Seismic design of earth dams and embankments is mainly controlled by the permanent deformation that may be induced directly or indirectly because of the design earthquake. Simple design charts, such as those developed by Yegian et al. [Yegian, M.K., Marciano, E.A., and Ghahraman, V.G. 1991. Earthquake-induced permanent deformations: Probabilistic approach. J. Geotech. Eng., 117, 35–50.], Hynes-Griffin and Franklin [Hynes-Griffin, M.E., and Franklin, A.G. 1984. Rationalizing the Seismic Coefficient Method. Miscellaneous Paper GL-84-13, US Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi.], Makdisi and Seed [Makdisi, F.I., and Seed, H.B. 1978. Simplified procedure for estimating dam and embankment earthquake-induced deformations. J. Geotech. Eng., 104, 849–867.], and Sarma [Sarma, S.K. 1975. Seismic stability of earth dams and embankments. Géotechnique, 25, 743–761.], are often used to obtain a preliminary estimate of the permanent, earthquake-induced deformation of earth dams and embankments. Comparison of permanent deformations estimated from these procedures with observations from 122 published case histories on performance of earth dams and embankments during past earthquakes indicate that the estimated permanent earthquake-induced deformations were, in general, smaller than the observed deformations. However, the observed permanent deformation, Davg, was found to relate to the ratio of yield acceleration, ay, and the peak horizontal ground acceleration, amax. The scatter in the observational data, upon which the Davg–ay/amax relationship is based, can be partly explained by the variations in the ratio of the fundamental (elastic) period of the earth structure, TD, and the predominant period of the earthquake ground motion, Tp, and the magnitude of the earthquake, MW. 相似文献

Orissa State, a meteorological subdivision of India, lies on the east coast of India close to north Bay of Bengal and to the
south of the normal position of the monsoon trough. The monsoon disturbances such as depressions and cyclonic storms mostly
develop to the north of 15° N over the Bay of Bengal and move along the monsoon trough. As Orissa lies in the southwest sector
of such disturbances, it experiences very heavy rainfall due to the interaction of these systems with mesoscale convection
sometimes leading to flood. The orography due to the Eastern Ghat and other hill peaks in Orissa and environs play a significant
role in this interaction. The objective of this study is to develop an objective statistical model to predict the occurrence
and quantity of precipitation during the next 24 hours over specific locations of Orissa, due to monsoon disturbances over
north Bay and adjoining west central Bay of Bengal based on observations to up 0300 UTC of the day. A probability of precipitation
(PoP) model has been developed by applying forward stepwise regression with available surface and upper air meteorological
parameters observed in and around Orissa in association with monsoon disturbances during the summer monsoon season (June-September).
The PoP forecast has been converted into the deterministic occurrence/non-occurrence of precipitation forecast using the critical
value of PoP. The parameters selected through stepwise regression have been considered to develop quantitative precipitation
forecast (QPF) model using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) for categorical prediction of precipitation in different ranges
such as 0.1–10, 11–25, 26–50, 51–100 and >100 mm if the occurrence of precipitation is predicted by PoP model. All the above
models have been developed based on data of summer monsoon seasons of 1980–1994, and data during 1995–1998 have been used
for testing the skill of the models. Considering six representative stations for six homogeneous regions in Orissa, the PoP
model performs very well with percentages of correct forecast for occurrence/non-occurrence of precipitation being about 96%
and 88%, respectively for developmental and independent data. The skill of the QPF model, though relatively less, is reasonable
for lower ranges of precipitation. The skill of the model is limited for higher ranges of precipitation.

Iron ore deposits are generally described in terms of size, grade and chemical composition rather than the mineralogical and microstructural characteristic of different ore types. It is essential, however, to know the morphology, microstructure and chemical composition of individual minerals for optimum mineral processing. Goethite is reported to occur as a ubiquitous phase in many iron ore types and is particularly abundant in the Precambrian banded iron ore formation of north Orissa, India. Goethite from the Bonai–Keonjhar Belt in Orissa has been examined in terms of its morphology and microstructure in relation to chemical composition. Electron microscopy indicated several goethite morphotypes including botryoidal, nodular, spheroidal, platy, stalactitic and flaky. These different morphotypes display intergranular, intragranular, wedge, reniform, comb, prismatic, cavity-line and bead microstructures. In situ analysis using electron probe microanalyzer indicated a wide compositional variation among the different morphotypes and microstructures. Goethite replacing hematite is generally devoid of deleterious elements while re-precipitated goethite generally contains adsorbed alumina, silica and/or phosphorus. Nodular goethite commonly has a high phosphorus level while botryoidal, spheroidal and platy goethite often contains increased combined alumina and silica. Goethite having a reniform, wedge, intergranular or intragranular microstructure is highly water bearing and cryptocrystalline in nature. During dehydration, bead, comb, cavity-lined or prismatic goethite develop, which are more crystalline and which have a higher iron concentration. Goethite with a wedge, prismatic or bead-type microstructure has a higher adsorption of silica (2–4%), while goethite having an intergranular, bead or prismatic microstructure invariably contains appreciable phosphorus, generally at levels deleterious to processing. 相似文献

Landslides triggered by moderate to major earthquakes are a recognized seismic hazard. Arias Intensity (I a) is a key intensity measure of the ground motion, but significant duration is widely used to define strong motion duration. We calculate Newmark’s displacements using earthquake records bracketing a broad range of Arias Intensity and significant duration employing Newmark’s rigid block method and a number of yield accelerations. Total landslide displacement increases with the increase in the energy content of the ground motion (I a) above a threshold. Such threshold may be expressed as a function of yield acceleration of the slope regardless of the ground motion characteristics. Newmark displacement decreases with increasing duration for earthquakes with similar energy content. The wide scatter in the results converges when using formal dimensional analysis. Self-similar symmetry may facilitate the assessment of the performance of slopes during earthquakes. The mathematical framework for probabilistic determination of landslides displacement may be a useful aid to estimate the likelihood of landslide hazards provided that the geotechnical properties of the slopes are known. 相似文献

The present article reports the results of a comprehensive hydrogeochemical study carried out across the coastal aquifer system of Rajnagar block, Kendrapara district, Odisha, India. The research involved collection of representative groundwater samples during the pre- and post-monsoon seasons with in situ as well as laboratory measurement of various hydrogeochemical variables. Analysis of the subsurface water samples portrays an alkali dominated water type during the pre-monsoon season whereas alkaline earth has a significantly increased influence during the post-monsoon period. However, the aquifer system displays an even distribution of strong and weak acids for both the monsoonal regimes. The hydrogeochemistry is controlled by aquifer lithology with a general occurrence of ion exchange and acid–base reaction processes across the study area. Spatial disposition of major cations indicates freshening of this coastal aquifer system in S–N and SW–NE directions. Potability analysis of the samples is suggestive of widespread unsuitability for domestic, agriculture and industrial uses. The extensive occurrence of salinity hazards, sodium hazards and magnesium hazards across the terrain makes the groundwater unsafe for domestic and agricultural utilization while industrial potability analysis suggests the aquifer system is moderately corrosive but non-incrusting. Post-monsoon however, the subsurface waters display a general decrease in hazardous nature with increased suitability for various uses. 相似文献
