A macroseismic intensity prediction equation for intermediate depth earthquakes in the Vrancea region,Romania     

Mathilde B. Sørensen  Dietrich Stromeyer  Gottfried Grünthal 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2010

The use of shake maps in terms of macroseismic intensity in earthquake early warning systems as well as intensity based seismic hazard assessments provides a valuable supplement to typical studies based on recorded ground motion parameters. A requirement for such applications is ground motion prediction equations (GMPE) in terms of macroseismic intensity, which have the advantages of good data availability and the direct relation of intensity to earthquake damage. In the current study, we derive intensity prediction equations for the Vrancea region in Romania, which is characterized by the frequent occurrence of large intermediate depth earthquakes giving rise to a peculiar anisotropic ground shaking distribution. The GMPE have a physical basis and take the anisotropic intensity distribution into account through an empirical regional correction function. Furthermore, the relations are easy to implement for the user. Relations are derived in terms of epicentral, rupture and Joyner–Boore distance and the obtained relations all provide a new intensity estimate with an uncertainty of ca. 0.6 intensity units.  相似文献

Combined use of field observations and SAR interferometry to study ice dynamics and mass balance in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica     

Reinhard Dietrich  Robert Metzig  Wilfried Korth  James Perlt 《Polar research》1999,18(2):291-298

In the region of the Schirmacheroase (71 °S, 12°E) various geodetic and glaciological research activities have been carried out in the last decade. Several times three geodetic-glaciological traverses were undertaken to study ice velocity, accumulation and ablation, and ice surface height changes. Repeated ground surveys show a significant decrease in surface heights by about 15 cm/y for a large blue-ice area. This paper presents the first interferometrically derived ice velocity field of the inland ice close to the Schirmacheroase. The interferometric analysis of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is performed in combination with ground-based information. Since only ERS-1&2 tandem mission image couples are available for this region a digital elevation model (DEM) is used to remove the effect of topography. Ice velocities up to 100 m/y are proved interferometrically for this part of the inland ice.  相似文献   

The solar constant     

Dietrich Labs  Heinz Neckel 《Solar physics》1971,19(1):3-15

A detailed compilation of the most recent values of the solar constant is given (13 values published from 1967 to 1970). The most probable value seems to be 1.95 cal cm^–2 min^–1 or 1.36 kW m^–2 with a formal rms error of ± 0.3%. The corresponding effective temperature is 5770K.Systematic errors of the order of ± 1%, but also a possible variability of the same order cannot be excluded.  相似文献   

Structural evidence of orogen-parallel strike slip displacements in the Precordillera of northern Chile     

Prof. Dr. Klaus -J. Reutter  Dr. Ekkehard Scheuber  Prof. Dr. Dietrich Helmcke 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1991,80(1):135-153

The Chilean Precordillera, situated between the Longitudinal Valley and the Western Cordillera of northern Chile, is made up of several elongate basement ridges following the trend of the Andes. These ridges, which morphologically rise above the Mesozoic-Tertiary cover rocks, are developed as anticlinal cores or as pressure ridges bounded by reverse faults and, thus, show considerable orogennormal shortening. Several nearly vertical faults cut through the Precordillera, parallel or at a very low angle to the mountain ranges. From the following structures it can be inferred that orogen-parallel transcurrent movements took place along the faults: (a) asymmetric en echelon fault arrays, (b) stratigraphic and structural discontinuities across major faults, (c) fabrics in fault rocks, and (d) vertical folds. A dextral displacement of the order of tens of km is probable. The orogen-parallel strikeslip movements as well as the orogen-normal shortening are considered as phenomena of magmatic arc tectonics due to the focussing of central Andean igneous activity on the Precordillera from the Late Cretaceous until the paroxysm of deformation (45-30 Ma). Deformation along the Precordilleran Fault System is related with the development of the large porphyry copper ore deposits of that area. The structural evolution of the Precordillera can be explained by oblique subduction resulting in dextral transpression.

Zusammenfassung Die nordchilenische Präkordillere, zwischen Längstal und Westkordillere gelegen, ist aus mehreren langgestreckten prämesozoischen Grundgebirgsrücken aufgebaut, die sich als Antiklinalkerne oder als aus diesen hervorgegangene, durch Aufschiebungen begrenzte Rücken über das mesozoisch-tertiäre Deckgebirge erheben. Das Gebiet ist durchzogen von einem System steiler, parallel oder in spitzem Winkel zu diesen Einengungsstrukturen verlaufenden Störungen. Folgende Strukturen zeigen, daß es an diesen Störungen Seitenverschiebungen gegeben hat: (a) asymmetrische en-echelon-Störungsanordnungen, (b) stratigraphische und strukturelle Diskontinuitäten an Störungen, (c) Gefüge der Störungsgesteine und (d) Schlingen. Ein dextraler Versatz von mehreren Zehnern von km ist wahrscheinlich. Orogenparallele Seitenverschiebungen und Orogen-normale Einengung können als Phänomene der Magmatic-Arc-Tektonik gesehen werden, da von der höchsten Oberkreide bis zum Höhepunkt der Deformation (45-30 Ma) die magmatische Aktivität der Anden in der Präkordillere lag. In diesem Zusammenhang stehen auch die Vererzungen der großen porphyry-copper-Lagerstätten des Gebietes. Schiefe, zu dextraler Transpression führende Subduktion wird für die Strukturbildung der Präkordillere verantwortlich gemacht.

Resumen La Precordillera del norte chileno, situada entre el Valle Longitudinal y la Cordillera Occidental, esta constituida de uno o más dorsales de basamento, los que forman núcleos de grandes anticlinales o pilares en compresión que se elevan morfologicamente sobre las rocas mesozóicas y terciarias de su cobertura. Varias fallas más o menos verticales cortan a la Precordillera paralelamente o con angulo agudo a su rumbo. Las siguientes estructuras permiten deducir que se produjeron movimientos transcurrientes paralelos al orogeno en las fallas: (a) juegos asimétricos escalonados de fallas, (b) discontinuidades estratigráficas y estructurales ligados a la falla, (c) fábricas de las rocas de falla y (d) pliegues con ejes verticales. Un desplazamiento dextral de decinas de kilométras es probable. Las fallas de desplazamiento en el rumbo paralelas al orógeno asi como el acortamiento normal al orógeno se consideran como fenomenos de la tectónica de arco magmático, puesto que desde el Cretácico superior hasta el tiempo de la deformatión (45-30 Ma), la actividad magmática de los Andes Centrales estuvo ubicada en la Precordillera. La deformación en el sistema de fallas de la Precordillera está tambien relacionada con la mineralizatión de los grandes yacimientos de pórfidos cupriferos de la zona. La evolutión tectónica de la Precordillera puede haber sido originada por subductión oblicua produciendo transpresión dextral.

Improved data of solar spectral irradiance from 0.33 to 1.25μ     

Heinz Neckel  Dietrich Labs 《Solar physics》1981,74(1):231-249

The conversion of our centre of disk intensities published in 1968/70 into mean disk intensities has been repeated, using more accurate data for the centre-to-limb variation of both continuous radiation and strong absorption lines.The random observational mean error of the new irradiance data very likely is not larger than 1.5% in the UV and not larger than 1% in the visible and infrared. Comparison with the fluxes of Sun-like stars observed by Hardorp (1980) confirms these errors and seems to exclude the possibility of a systematic, wavelength-dependent scale error which would correspond to a temperature difference larger than 50 K.The resulting integral value of the irradiance between 0.33 and 1.25 is 1.060, the corresponding value of the solar constant lies between 1.368 and 1.377 kWm^-2.Proceedings of the 14th ESLAB Symposium on Physics of Solar Variations, 16–19 September 1980, Scheveningen, The Netherlands.  相似文献   

Variations of ‘wavelengths’ and ‘bisector indices’ of 70 solar spectral lines between 3300 and 3960 Å in Kitt Peak FTS spectra     

Heinz Neckel  Dietrich Labs 《Solar physics》1990,126(2):207-266

Wavelengths and bisector indices (a special measure for the asymmetry of a line near its bottom) are determined for 70 lines in each of 47 high-dispersion spectra. The spectra were obtained with the Fourier Transform Spectrograph connected to the McMath Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory; they all cover the same spectral range from 3200 to 4000 Å and concern either the full disk (19 disk spectra), or the disk center (9 center spectra), or two areas at sin = 0.85 on the west- and east-side of the disk (19 limb spectra). The main observing seasons were June 1986, June 1987, April and June/July 1988. The - relative - position of an individual line in one spectrum can be established with a precision of about 4 m s^-1, the precision of one bisector index is 1–2 m s^-1.Wavelengths and bisector indices show of course the typical characteristics which result from the familiar effects known as blueshift, limb effect and line asymmetry. However, concerning their variations in time, unexpected results are obtained:(1) Even in disk spectra the time-scales of the wavelength variations are often in the order of one hour or less. (2) For all 3 types of spectra (disk, center, limb) the variations depend not only on the known parameters such as line depth and - occasionally - excitation potential, but also - often even primarily - on wavelength. (3) In center spectra, the wavelength differences between strong and faint lines can vary by as much as 500 m s^-1, in disk spectra short-time variations of wavelength differences can amount to more than 50 m s^-1. (4) For most spectra there is not only a very pronounced and narrow correlation between line shift and line temperature (a special measure for the line depth), but also a significant correlation between line shift and variation of the bisector index.Clearly, the observed effects must be attributed to variations of the velocity fields in the upper photosphere/lower chromosphere (super-granulation cells, overshooting, oscillations), which either influence the line wavelengths directly via the Doppler-effect, or indirectly by changing the contrast between the blue-shifted granules and the red-shifted intergranular lanes. Because of the snapshot character of the observations, no reliable conclusions can be drawn on the actual time-dependency.  相似文献   

The role of telescopic stray light in limb-darkening scans obtained in April 1981 (and later)     

Heinz Neckel  Dietrich Labs 《Solar physics》1990,126(1):47-52

The suspicion of Elste (1990), that telescopic stray light together with imperfect collimation of telescope and spectrograph could be a possible explanation for the systematic differences and variations found by Neckel and Labs (1987) in many limb-darkening scans, proves to be unfounded for the following reasons: (1)The collimation was performed very precisely; (2) the telescope mirrors remained fixed in position and direction during most of the observing period; (3) stray light effects depending on hour angle were not detectable; (4) in the same collimation status, also many almost symmetric scans had been recorded; (5) the observed east-west differences in the solar intensities are partly even larger than the total amount of stray light (from telescope and sky!) observed as sky-background just outside the limb; (6) any east-west differences in the sky-background near the limb are just a few 0.01% of the disk center intensity; (7) the differences of the average intensities along eastern and western radius appear to be correlated with the east-west differences of the intensity's R.M.S.  相似文献   

Volcanic rocks from Rosemary Bank (Rockall Trough,NE Atlantic)     

V.J Dietrich  E.J.W Jones 《Marine Geology》1980,35(4):287-297

A collection of basalts dredged from the southern flank of Rosemary Bank in the Rockall Trough is described. All samples are highly altered, the introduction of large amounts of CaCO₃ into the rocks being particularly notable. Normative calculations suggest that the basalts are transitional or mildly alkaline in character. Several trace elements appear to have been immobile during the process of secondary alteration and are used to infer the tectonic setting of Rosemary Bank at the time of its formation. Employing the discrimination techniques of Pearce and Cann, the basalts are shown to have oceanic affinities. However, caution has to be exercised in interpreting the trace element results in terms of sea-floor spreading in the Rockall Trough since some Scottish basalts extruded on to continental crust have similar compositions. A minimum age of Eocene has been obtained for Rosemary Bank.  相似文献
