Modelling the responses of mature forest trees to air pollution     

Heiner Schäfer Dr.  Hartmut Bossel  Holger Krieger  Norbert Trost 《GeoJournal》1988,17(2):279-287

Systems analysis of the responses of forest trees to air pollutants led to mathematical models which represent the essential life processes of mature trees (photosynthesis, respiration, growth etc.) under ‘normal’ conditions and — especially — under pollution strees. Computer simulations using these models have made it possible to test and analyse the consequences of — known or hypothetical — pollution effects. The simulation runs have led to the identification of three distinct behavioural modes (growth, stagnation, breakdown) and corresponding stable and unstable system states. The results have produced new insights and contributed to the understanding of the dieback process of spruce and beech trees. The presentation will concentrate on the most recent and most complex of the hitherto existing models, theBeech model.  相似文献   

Geotektonische Verknüpfung von Plutonismus und Vulkanismus im südwestdeutschen Variscicum     

Prof. Dr. Heiner Flick 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1987,76(3):699-707

Zusammenfassung Die variscische Orogenese wurde in Südwestdeutschland von einem intensiven palingenen Magmatismus begleitet. Dabei folgte der Vulkanismus als eigenständige Entwicklung den granitischen Intrusionen in einem Abstand von ca. 20 Ma. In den felsischen Vulkaniten läßt sich das Auftreten von primärem Tiefquarz als Geobarometer verwenden und spricht für eine besonders große Bildungstiefe der Magmen. Sie setzen damit die Entwicklungsreihe der granitischen Schmelzen fort, die zunehmend aus größerer Tiefe kamen. Als heißeste und trockenere Bildung entstanden die Vulkanite im Zuge der stärksten Krustenverkürzung und damit-verdickung und stiegen nach dem Durchlaufen der orogenen Einengungswelle zur Erdkruste auf.

A widespread palingenetic magmatism accompanied Hercynian orogenesis in SW-Germany. Thereby, felsic volcanism occupied a specific place in the tectonic evolution of the Hercynian orogen following about 20 m. y. after the granitic plutonism. The finding of primary low quartz as intratelluric phenocrysts in these volcanics can be used for geobarometry and demonstrates a rather deep origin of the melt. They continue the development of the granitic melts which originated from a progressively deeper and hotter source. The felsic volcanics represent the hottest and driest crustal magmatism which originated in areas of strong crustal shortening and reached the surface after the Hercynian orogenic compressional wave had passed the region.

Résumé L'orogenèse hercynienne dans le sud-ouest de l'Allemagne a été accompagnée d'un magmatisme palingénétique intense. Dans le développement de ce processus, le volcanisme felsitique a succédé aux intrusions granitiques après un intervalle de 20 Ma. La présence de quartz alpha primaire dans les volcanites peut être utilisée comme géobaromètre et indique que les magmas ont été engendrés à grande profondeur dans des conditions de plus en plus profondes et de plus en plus chaudes au cours du temps. Les volcanites felsitiques représentent le magmatisme le plus chaud et le plus sec, qui a été engendré consécutivement au raccourcissement et à l'épaississement de la croûte et qui est monté dans l'écorce terrestre après le passage de l'onde compressive orogénique hercynienne.

Measuring Seeing from Solar Scintillometry and the Spectral Ratio Technique     

Goode  P.R.  Wang  H.  Marquette  W.H.  Denker  C. 《Solar physics》2000,195(2):421-431

In principle, the optical transfer function can be described by a single parameter, the Fried parameter r ₀, which reveals the net effect of the turbulence along the line of sight. We present measurements of the Fried parameter obtained from the spectral ratio technique and compare them to data from solar scintillometry and from angle-of-arrival fluctuations. The measurements were performed at the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) in 1997 and 1998 – before and after a series of steps were taken to reduce dome seeing. The results show that the dome seeing was considerably reduced and now approaches the seeing conditions measured outside the dome. The Fried parameter as measured by the spectral ratio technique now frequently exceeds r ₀=10 cm at our lake site observatory. Accounting for the remaining dome and window seeing, the scintillometer and the angle-of-arrival data imply the potential for an r ₀>20 cm for BBSO during days of good seeing.  相似文献   

Image Quality in High-resolution and High-cadence Solar Imaging     

C. Denker  E. Dineva  H. Balthasar  M. Verma  C. Kuckein  A. Diercke  S. J. González Manrique 《Solar physics》2018,293(3):44

Broad-band imaging and even imaging with a moderate bandpass (about 1 nm) provides a photon-rich environment, where frame selection (lucky imaging) becomes a helpful tool in image restoration, allowing us to perform a cost-benefit analysis on how to design observing sequences for imaging with high spatial resolution in combination with real-time correction provided by an adaptive optics (AO) system. This study presents high-cadence (160 Hz) G-band and blue continuum image sequences obtained with the High-resolution Fast Imager (HiFI) at the 1.5-meter GREGOR solar telescope, where the speckle-masking technique is used to restore images with nearly diffraction-limited resolution. The HiFI employs two synchronized large-format and high-cadence sCMOS detectors. The median filter gradient similarity (MFGS) image-quality metric is applied, among others, to AO-corrected image sequences of a pore and a small sunspot observed on 2017 June 4 and 5. A small region of interest, which was selected for fast-imaging performance, covered these contrast-rich features and their neighborhood, which were part of Active Region NOAA 12661. Modifications of the MFGS algorithm uncover the field- and structure-dependency of this image-quality metric. However, MFGS still remains a good choice for determining image quality without a priori knowledge, which is an important characteristic when classifying the huge number of high-resolution images contained in data archives. In addition, this investigation demonstrates that a fast cadence and millisecond exposure times are still insufficient to reach the coherence time of daytime seeing. Nonetheless, the analysis shows that data acquisition rates exceeding 50 Hz are required to capture a substantial fraction of the best seeing moments, significantly boosting the performance of post-facto image restoration.  相似文献   

The association between sunspot magnetic fields and superpenumbral fibrils     

R.E. Louis  H. Balthasar  C. Kuckein  P. Gmry  K.G. Puschmann  C. Denker 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2014,335(2):161-167

Spectropolarimetric observations of a sunspot were carried out with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter at Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, Spain. Maps of the physical parameters were obtained from an inversion of the Stokes profiles observed in the infrared Fe I line at 15648 Å The regular sunspot consisted of a light bridge which separated the two umbral cores of the same polarity. One of the arms of the light bridge formed an extension of a penumbral filament which comprised weak and highly inclined magnetic fields. In addition, the Stokes V profiles in this filament had an opposite sign as the sunspot and some resembled Stokes Q or U. This penumbral filament terminated abruptly into another at the edge of the sunspot, where the latter was relatively vertical by about 30°. Chromospheric Hα and He II 304 Å filtergrams revealed three superpenumbral fibrils on the limb‐side of the sunspot, in which one fibril extended into the sunspot and was oriented along the highly inclined penumbral counterpart of the light bridge. An intense, elongated brightening was observed along this fibril that was co‐spatial with the intersecting penumbral filaments in the photosphere. Our results suggest that the disruption in the sunspot magnetic field at the location of the light bridge could be the source of reconnection that led to the intense chromospheric brightening and facilitated the supply of cool material in maintaining the overlying superpenumbral fibrils.

The 1.5 m telescope GREGOR opens a new window to the understanding of solar small‐scale magnetism. The first light instrumentation includes the Gregor Fabry Pérot Interferometer (GFPI), a filter spectro‐polarimeter for the visible wavelength range, the GRating Infrared Spectro‐polarimeter (GRIS) and the Broad‐Band Imager (BBI). The excellent performance of the first two instruments has already been demonstrated at the Vacuum Tower Telescope. GREGOR is Europe’s largest solar telescope and number 3 in the world. Its all‐reflective Gregory design provides a large wavelength coverage from the near UV up to at least 5 microns. The field of view has a diameter of 150″. GREGOR is equipped with a high‐order adaptive optics system, with a subaperture size of 10 cm, and a deformable mirror with 256 actuators. The science goals are focused on, but not limited to, solar magnetism. GREGOR allows us to measure the emergence and disappearance of magnetic flux at the solar surface at spatial scales well below 100 km. Thanks to its spectro‐polarimetric capabilities, GREGOR will measure the interaction between the plasma flows, different kinds of waves, and the magnetic field. This will foster our understanding of the processes that heat the chromosphere and the outer layers of the solar atmosphere. Observations of the surface magnetic field at very small spatial scales will shed light on the variability of the solar brightness (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献   

Optical Design of Multilayer Achromatic Waveplate by Simulated Annealing Algorithm   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Jun Ma  Jing-Shan Wang  Carsten Denker  Hai-Min Wang 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2008,8(3):349-361

We applied a Monte Carlo method-simulated annealing algorithm-to carry out the design of multilayer achromatic waveplate. We present solutions for three-, six-and ten-layer achromatic waveplates. The optimized retardance settings are found to be 89°51'39"±0°33'37" and 89°54'46"±0°22'4" for the six-and ten-layer waveplates, respectively, for a wavelength range from 1000nm to 1800nm. The polarimetric properties of multilayer waveplates are investigated based on several numerical experiments. In contrast to previously proposed three-layer achromatic waveplate, the fast axes of the new six-and ten-layer achromatic waveplate remain at fixed angles, independent of the wavelength. Two applications of multilayer achromatic waveplate are discussed, the general-purpose phase shifter and the birefringent filter in the Infrared Imaging Magnetograph (IRIM) system of the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). We also checked an experimental method to measure the retardance of waveplates.  相似文献

Seismic imaging of the laterally varying D" region beneath the Cocos Plate   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Michael S. Thorne  Thorne Lay  Edward J. Garnero  Gunnar Jahnke †  Heiner Igel 《Geophysical Journal International》2007,170(2):635-648

We use an axisymmetric, spherical Earth finite difference algorithm to model SH -wave propagation through cross-sections of laterally varying lower mantle models beneath the Cocos Plate derived from recent data analyses. Synthetic seismograms with dominant periods as short as 4 s are computed for several models: (1) a D" reflector 264 km above the core–mantle boundary with laterally varying S -wave velocity increases of 0.9–2.6 per cent, based on localized structures from a 1-D double-array stacking method; (2) an undulating D" reflector with large topography and uniform velocity increase obtained using a 3-D migration method and (3) cross-sections through the 3-D mantle S -wave velocity tomography model TXBW. We apply double-array stacking to assess model predictions of data. Of the models explored, the S -wave tomography model TXBW displays the best overall agreement with data. The undulating reflector produces a double Scd arrival that may be useful in future studies for distinguishing between D" volumetric heterogeneity and D" discontinuity topography. Synthetics for the laterally varying models show waveform variability not observed in 1-D model predictions. It is challenging to predict 3-D structure based on localized 1-D models when lateral structural variations are on the order of a few wavelengths of the energy used, particularly for the grazing geometry of our data. Iterative approaches of computing synthetic seismograms and adjusting model characteristics by considering path integral effects are necessary to accurately model fine-scale D" structure.  相似文献   

Studying the City Plume of Berlin on 20 July 1998 with Three Different Modelling Approaches     

Andreas Becker  Bernhard Scherer  Michael Memmesheimer  Heiner Geiß 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2002,42(1):41-70

In this paper we try to identify and describe the specifics of the Berlin city plume characterised by a zone of enhanced photochemical activity downwind of the urban area, where the major emissions of ozone precursors (NO_x and VOC) take place. Two Eulerian CTM systems (EURAD and REM3/CALGRID) and one Euler–Lagrangian model (LaMM5) are applied to thearea of Berlin/Brandenburg to investigate the processes involved in the evolution of the Berlin plume inherent to the models. The study focuses on 20 July 1998,the first special observation period (SOP) during BERLIOZ. The examination includes (1) the role of turbulence and transport and the role of mass flux to the surface during the evolution of the plume, (2) the import situation of the ground based measurement sites, (3)the terms of the ozone budget equation and their contribution to precursor distribution and ozone formation, (4) the substructures of the plume defined by its chemical regimes. Main results show that the complex meteorological conditions during this SOP with considerable turbulent transports demand an Euler–Lagrangian approach to determine the source receptor relationshipsfor the ground based measurement sites. These relations reveal that only a minor part (5%) of the air approaching Pabstthum and the more downwind (north-western) stations origins from Berlin and that the mutual transport between all sites was limited. The latter result afflicts the joint interpretation of data from different stations because the presumption to measure the same air mass is violated in many cases for this SOP. The CTM results reveal that the local net production of ozone within the plume was controlled by transport ad chemical processes both owning the same importance but tending to counteract each other. At this SOP far distance sources of ozone precursors originating from the Bohemian basin did not interfere the Berlin city plume although they generally have the potential to do so.  相似文献
