Spatial scale effect on the upper soil effective parameters of a distributed hydrological model 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Nonlinear dynamics and spatial variability in hydrological systems make the formulation of scaling theories difficult. Therefore, the development of knowledge related to scale effects, scaling techniques, parameterization and linkages of parameters across scales is highly relevant. The main purpose of this work is to analyse the spatial effect of the static storage capacity parameter Hu and the saturated hydraulic conductivity parameter ks from microscale (sub‐grid level) to mesoscale (grid level) and its implication to the definition of an optimum cell size. These two parameters describe the upper soil water characteristics in the infiltration process conceptualization of the TETIS hydrological model. At microscale, the spatial heterogeneity of Hu and ks was obtained generating random parameter fields through probability distribution functions and a spatial dependence model with pre‐established correlation lengths. The effective parameters at mesoscale were calculated by solving the inverse problem for each parameter field. Results indicate that the adopted inverse formulation allows transferring the nonlinearity of the system from microscale to the mesoscale via non‐stationary effective parameters. Their values at each cell and time step are in the range of zero to the mean value of the parameter at microscale. The stochastic simulations showed that the variance of the estimated effective parameters decreases when the ratio between mesoscale cell size and correlation length at microscale increases. For a ratio greater than 1, we found cell sizes having the characteristics of a representative elementary area (REA); in such case, the microscale variability pattern did not affect the system response at mesoscale.

Rockfalls are common in the steep and vertical slopes of the Campania carbonate massifs and ridges, and frequently represent
the main threat to the anthropogenic environment, potentially damaging urban areas, scattered houses, roads, etc. Despite
the generally limited volumes involved, the high velocity of movement (from few to tens of metres per second) poses rockfalls
among the most dangerous natural hazards to man. Evaluating the rockfall hazard is not an easy task, due to the high number
of involved factors, and particularly to the difficulty in determining the properties of the rock mass. In this paper, we
illustrate the assessment of the rockfall hazard along a small area of the Sorrento Peninsula (Campania region, southern Italy).
Choice of the site was determined by the presence of a road heavily frequented by vehicles. In the area, we have carried out
detailed field surveys and software simulations that allow generating simple rockfall hazard maps. Over twenty measurement
stations for geo-mechanical characterization of the rock mass have been distributed along a 400-m-long slope of Mount Vico
Alvano. Following the internationally established standards for the acquisition of rock mass parameters, the main kinematics
have been recognized, and the discontinuity families leading to the different failures identified. After carrying out field
experiments by artificially releasing a number of unstable blocks on the rock cliff, the rockfall trajectories along the slope
were modelled using 2-D and 3-D programs for rockfall analysis. The results were exploited to evaluate the rockfall hazard
along the threatened element at risk. 相似文献

We have measured the abundance and isotopic composition of xenon in petroleum samples from the Shell Bullwinkle Field off
the coast of Louisiana. We used an oxidation and purification procedure designed to insure complete extraction and clean up
of xenon from the petroleum.
The xenon isotopic composition was found to be similar to the atmospheric value for one petroleum sample. While the results
of the second sample suggest possible enrichment of the heavier isotopes, the errors associated with these excesses preclude
a definitive statement to that effect. No monoisotopic enrichment in129Xe was detected in either sample, the presence of which might have allowed us to deduce the petroleum age. Our results represent
only the second xenon measurement from petroleum, and the concentrations are within the range of values published in the earlier
report. 相似文献

Larval fish assemblages in nearshore coastal waters off central Chile: temporal and spatial patterns 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
E. Hernndez-Miranda A. T. Palma F. P. Ojeda 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2003,56(5-6):1075-1092
In this study we identified spatial and temporal patterns in the distribution and abundance of larval stages of several fish species in nearshore waters off central Chile. Larvae were sampled monthly at two close (20 km apart) but contrasting localities, El Quisco and Las Cruces. Surveys corresponded to standard plankton tows stratified according to bathymetry and distance from shore. Our results indicate that at both localities: (1) there is a seasonal reproductive pattern for most of the species studied; (2) there is a seasonal-related change in larval species composition and abundance, with austral Winter–Spring being the time of greatest diversity; (3) larval stages of several species that, as adults occupy intertidal, estuarine–riverine, subtidal, benthic-demersal, epipelagic or mesopelagic habitats, are found within these coastal environments; (4) there is a distinctive cross-shelf pattern of larval distribution, which seems to correspond, at least for the intertidal species, with the shallower (<30 m depth) portion of area surveyed; and (5) there is a coupling between the patterns of distribution and abundance of the entire ichthyoplankton assemblage with short-term physical features such as wind forcing, Ekman transport, and local currents. Our findings suggest that both the specific composition as well as the abundance of larval fish species varies spatially and temporally and that this variability may result from the interaction of physical and biological factors at different scales. 相似文献

Covariance functions and models for complex-valued random fields 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

In Geostatistics, primary interest often lies in the study of the spatial, or spatial-temporal, correlation of real-valued random fields, anyway complex-valued random field theory is surely a natural extension of the real domain. In such a case, it is useful to consider complex covariance functions which are composed of an even real part and an odd imaginary part. Generating complex covariance functions is not simple at all, but the procedure, developed in this paper, allows generating permissible covariance functions for complex-valued random fields in a straightforward way. In particular, by recalling the spectral representation of the covariance and translating the spectral density function by using a shifting factor, complex covariances are obtained. Some general aspects and properties of complex-valued random fields and their moments are pointed out and some examples are given. 相似文献

In geostatistics, stochastic simulation is often used either as an improved interpolation algorithm or as a measure of the
spatial uncertainty. Hence, it is crucial to assess how fast realization-based statistics converge towards model-based statistics
(i.e. histogram, variogram) since in theory such a match is guaranteed only on average over a number of realizations. This
can be strongly affected by the random number generator being used. Moreover, the usual assumption of independence among simulated
realizations of a random process may be affected by the random number generator used. Simulation results, obtained by using
three different random number generators implemented in Geostatistical Software Library (GSLib), are compared. Some practical
aspects are pointed out and some suggestions are given to users of the unconditional LU simulation method. 相似文献

A study of the mesoscale distribution of phytoplankton communities observed along the Portuguese upwelling coast in 1985–1986 made it possible to identify an assemblage composed by the coccolithophores Helicosphaera carteri, Syracosphaera pulchra and Coronosphaera mediterranea. The assemblage was consistently present in the coast in the following years (1991, 1992, 1994, 2003 and 2005) and from 1992 onwards, Rhabdosphaera clavigera was recognised as being part of it, although in low concentrations During late summer, this group of species showed higher affinities with upwelling waters of subtropical origin (ENACWst) on the SW coast. At the end of the upwelling season, in autumn, the assemblage was advected to the NW shelf due to the intensification of the poleward surface circulation or meridional seasonal changes of environmental conditions. The species maximum abundances were not coincident in space: H. carteri developed at the central part of the western coast while blooms of S. pulchra and C. mediterranea generally occurred further south, such as at the upwelling centre of cape S. Vicente. Syracosphaera pulchra blooms were characterised by lower concentrations of C. mediterranea and vice-versa. The above patterns were recurrent along the years but the relative abundance of each species appeared related to the interannual variability of physical conditions as the upwelling. 相似文献
