Optical spectra of the cleft aurora in the region 5000–8500 Å were measured in December, 1977 at Cape Parry, N.W.T. A Michelson interferometer was used at a resolution of 10 cm^?1. The auroral features observed were OI (5577, 6300-64, 7774, 8446 Å), OII (7319-30 Å), NI (5200 Å), Hα, O₂ atm (1,1), some weak N₂1P bands and possibly some Meinel bands of N₂⁺. In addition, nightglow emissions of Na and OH were observed. Theoretical predictions of the OI and NI emission rates using the model of Link et al. (1980) fit the observed rates reasonably well if a 40 eV Maxwellian incident electron spectrum is assumed. The predicted rates for OII exceed the observed value by a factor of 4. It is suggested that the ionization cross-section may be over-estimated.  相似文献

Stress reorientation during folding     

Gary W. Crosby  Peter K. Link 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1972,61(2):413-429

Intermediate principal stress, ₂, is, for mechanical reasons, taken to be parallel to the statistical direction of fold axes and traces of thrust faults during evolution of fold and thrust belts. Regionally, maximum principal stress, ₁, and least, ₃, may be taken to be the directions of maximum shortening and maximum thickening of the section, respectively. Where crystalline basement is not involved in the deformation, maximum shortening is manifestly parallel to the top of the basement, or subhorizontal, and ₃ is, therefore, subvertical. While this stress system is grossly adequate on the scale of the fold and thrust belt, it fails locally, particularly in late stages of deformation. Sinuosity develops on all scales within the belt as deformation progresses. Individual fold axes tend to be straight lines in incipient stages of folding, as shown by unrolling folds, but commonly develop with increasing curvature during deformation. The curvature resulting during deformation is a measure of extension parallel to the axial direction, if the ends of the fold are fixed points. Thus, ₂ progressively decreases. With marked sinuosity, stress parellel to the axial direction can be reduced at a given depth below the magnitude of the weight of the overburden, originally ₃. Intermediate and least principal stresses switch position, and strike-slip faulting is favored where the deformational response is failure by shear fracture. The percent axial extension can be expressed in an equation that compares the final arcuate length with the original length. With a knowledge of the physical properties of the rock, the time in the evolution of the structure at which he stresses switch can be predicted, as well as the subsequent structural response.

Zusammenfassung Die Richtung des intermediären Hauptstresses, ₂, wird aus mechanischen Gründen als parallel zu der statistischen Richtung der Faltenachsen und der Spuren der Überschiebungsflächen angenommen während der Entwicklung von Faltungs- und Überschiebungszonen. Regional können die Richtungen des maximalen Haupstresses, ₁, und des minimalen Hauptstresses, ₃, als Richtungen der größten Verkürzung, respektive der größten Verdickung des Querschnittes betrachtet werden. Wo der kristalline Untergrund nicht in den Deformationsvorgang einbezogen wird, ist die Richtung der maximalen Verkürzung offenbar parallel zur Kristallinoberfläche oder subhorizontal und ₃ somit subvertikal orientiert. Währenddessen im großen Maßstab diese Zuordnung der Hauptstreßrichtungen zu einer ganzen Faltungs- und Überschiebungszone vorgenommen werden kann, versagt sie im lokalen Bereich, vor allem in späten Phasen der Deformation. Bei fortschreitender Deformation entwickeln sich im Deformationsgürtel Bogenformen in verschiedenem Maßstab. Individuelle Faltenachsen neigen dazu, sich an geraden Linien auszubilden in frühen Stadien der Faltung, wie dies die Abwicklung von Falten zeigt. Sie entwickeln sich aber im allgemeinen während der weiteren Deformation mit zunehmend gebogener Achsenrichtung. Die resultierende Kurvatur ist ein Maß der Dehnung parallel zur Achsenrichtung, wenn die seitlichen Endpunkte der Falte Fixpunkte darstellen. In dieser Weise nimmt der Betrag von ₂ fortschreitend ab. Bei ausgeprägter Bogenform kann der Streß parallel zur Richtung der Faltenachse in einer bestimmten Tiefe reduziert werden bis zu einem Betrag, der unterhalb des Ausmaßes der Überlast, also ursprünglich ₃, liegt. Die Richtungen des intermediären und des kleinsten Hauptstresses wechseln ihre Positionen, und Blattverschiebungen werden begünstigt, wo die Deformation Scherbrüche erzeugt. Das Ausmaß der axialen Dehnung kann durch eine Gleichung ausgedrückt werden, welche die Länge des endgültigen Faltenbogens mit der ursprünglichen Länge der Falte verknüpft. Mit der Kenntnis der physikalischen Eigenschaften des Gesteins können sowohl der Zeitpunkt in der Entwicklung der Faltenstruktur, zu welchem die Hauptstreßrichtungen ihre Positionen wechseln, als auch die nachfolgende strukturelle Entwicklung bestimmt werden.

Résumé La contrainte principale intermédiaire, ₂, est, pour des raisons mécaniques, considérée comme étant parallèle à la direction statistique des axes du pli et des traces de chevauchement durant l'évolution du pli et des zones de chevauchement. Régionalement, on peut supposer que les contraintes principales maximum, ₁, et minimum, ₃, suivent respectivement les directions du raccourcissement maximum et de l'épaississement maximum du profil. Là, où le soubassement cristallin n'est pas entrainé dans la déformation, le raccourcissement maximum est manifestement parallèle à la surface du soubassement, ou subhorizontal, et ₃ est, par conséquent, subverticale. Tant que l'échelle de ce système de contraintes correspond à peu près à celle du pli et de la zone de chevauchement, il change de direction localement, spécialement dans les derniers stades de la déformation. Une sinuosité se développe à toutes les échelles à l'intérieur de la zone, tandis que la déformation progresse. Les axes individuels du pli ont tendance à devenir des lignes droites dans les stades embryonnaires de la déformation, comme le montre le déroulement des plis, mais ordinairement ils se développent avec une courbure croissante pendant la déformation. La courbure qui en résulte durant la déformation est une mesure de l'extension parallèle à la direction axiale. Ainsi ₂ décroit progressivement. Avec une sinuosité prononcée, la contrainte parallèle à la direction axiale peut se réduire, à une profordeur donné au dessous du poids de la surcharge, originellement ₃. Les contraintes principales maximum et minimum échangent leur position, et la composante horizontale du rejet de la faille est alors favorisée là où la réaction à la déformation devient négligeable par suite de fracture de cisaillement. Le pourcentage de l'extension axiale peut s'exprimer par une équation qui compare la longueur de la courbe finale à la longueur originelle. Avec la connaissance des propriétés physiques des roches, on peut prévoir, le moment où les contraintes s'échangent durant l'évolution de la structure, ainsi que la réaction structurale qui en résulte.

Seismic anisotropy of the lithosphere/asthenosphere system beneath the Rwenzori region of the Albertine Rift     

B. Homuth  U. Löbl  A. G. Batte  K. Link  C. M. Kasereka  G. Rümpker 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2016,105(6):1681-1692

Shear-wave splitting measurements from local and teleseismic earthquakes are used to investigate the seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle beneath the Rwenzori region of the East African Rift system. At most stations, shear-wave splitting parameters obtained from individual earthquakes exhibit only minor variations with backazimuth. We therefore employ a joint inversion of SKS waveforms to derive hypothetical one-layer parameters. The corresponding fast polarizations are generally rift parallel and the average delay time is about 1 s. Shear phases from local events within the crust are characterized by an average delay time of 0.04 s. Delay times from local mantle earthquakes are in the range of 0.2 s. This observation suggests that the dominant source region for seismic anisotropy beneath the rift is located within the mantle. We use finite-frequency waveform modeling to test different models of anisotropy within the lithosphere/asthenosphere system of the rift. The results show that the rift-parallel fast polarizations are consistent with horizontal transverse isotropy (HTI anisotropy) caused by rift-parallel magmatic intrusions or lenses located within the lithospheric mantle—as it would be expected during the early stages of continental rifting. Furthermore, the short-scale spatial variations in the fast polarizations observed in the southern part of the study area can be explained by effects due to sedimentary basins of low isotropic velocity in combination with a shift in the orientation of anisotropic fabrics in the upper mantle. A uniform anisotropic layer in relation to large-scale asthenospheric mantle flow is less consistent with the observed splitting parameters.  相似文献   

Some particularities affecting the movements of Jupiter's red spot     

F. Link 《Planetary and Space Science》1975,23(5):805-812

The fluctuations in longitude of Jupiter's Red Spot are discussed. The long term fluctuations show behaviour similar to the fluctuations of zonal circulations on the Earth from 1830–1950. The three-monthly fluctuations have a temporal connection with the inferior conjunction of Mercury 1963–1971. Solar activity may be the key to both phenomena.  相似文献

Sensitivity of model parameterizations for simulated latent heat flux at the snow surface for complex mountain sites   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

The snowcover energy balance is typically dominated by net radiation and sensible and latent heat fluxes. Validation of the two latter components is rare and often difficult to undertake at complex mountain sites. Latent heat flux, the focus of this paper, is the primary coupling mechanism between the snow surface and the atmosphere. It accounts for the critical exchange of mass (sublimation or condensation), along with the associated snowcover energy loss or gain. Measured and modelled latent heat fluxes at a wind‐exposed and wind‐sheltered site were compared to evaluate variability in model parameters. A well‐tested and well‐validated snowcover energy balance model, Snobal, was selected for this comparison because of previously successful applications of the model at these sites and because of the adjustability of the parameters specific to latent heat transfer within the model. Simulated latent heat flux and snow water equivalent (SWE) were not sensitive to different formulations of the stability profile functions associated with heat transfer calculations. The model parameters of snow surface roughness length and active snow layer thickness were used to improve latent heat flux simulations while retaining accuracy in the simulation of the SWE at an exposed and sheltered study site. Optimal parameters for simulated latent heat flux and SWE were found at the exposed site with a shorter roughness length and thicker active layer, and at the sheltered site with a longer roughness length and thinner active layer. These findings were linked to physical characteristics of the study sites and will allow for adoption into other snow models that use similar parameters. Physical characteristics of wind exposure and cover could also be used to distribute critical parameters in a spatially distributed modelling domain and aid in parameter selection for application to other watersheds where detailed information is not available.

Gamma-ray bursts with peculiar temporal asymmetry     

Gustavo E. Romero  †  Diego F. Torres  I. Andruchow  Luis A. Anchordoqui  Bennett Link † 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》1999,308(3):799-806

Based on Link & Epstein's study of temporal asymmetry of 631 gamma-ray bursts from the BATSE 3B catalogue, we identify the population of bursts with rising times that are longer than their decays, thus showing atypical profiles. We analyse their sky distribution, morphology, time–space clustering and other average properties and compare them with those associated with the bulk of the bursts. We show how most of the peculiar bursts analysed are consistent with recent fireball models, but a fraction of bursts (∼4 per cent of the total sample) appear to be inconsistent.  相似文献   

Estimation of the escape of photoelectrons from Mars in 2004 liberated by the ionization of carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen     

R.A. Frahm  J.R. Sharber  R. Link  J.U. Kozyra  D.R. Linder  R. Lundin 《Icarus》2010,206(1):50-63

Photoelectron peaks in the atmosphere of Mars caused by the ionization of carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen by solar 30.4 nm photons have been observed by the Electron Spectrometer (ELS), a component of the Mars Express (MEx) Analyzer of Space Plasmas and Energetic Atoms (ASPERA-3) experiment. Ionization mostly occurs at the Mars exobase with the majority of the photoionized electron flux trapped in the remanent and induced magnetic field, with a portion of that flux escaping the planet down its tail. Since Mars is overall charge neutral, the number of electrons must be identical to the number of ion charges which escape the planet. An estimate of the fraction of the total number of escaping electrons is obtained for the year 2004, specifically those produced by the ionization of carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen by solar 30.4 nm photons. In achieving this process, an illustrative example pass is used to show how the electron spectrum is adjusted for the potential on the spacecraft; then the region of the electron spectrum which shows photoelectron peaks is integrated over energy, yielding a flux of 5.74 × 10⁶ electrons/(cm² s sr). This technique is then applied to a subset of 22 sample averaged spectra from the 2004 data (5 January 2004 through 25 January 2005), yielding an average result of 4.15 × 10⁶ electrons/(cm² s sr) for the 22 cases. The observation cone of 33.75° is used to integrate over solid angle (assuming the flux is constant), giving 4.39 × 10⁶ electrons/(cm² s). This average value was taken as representative of the full data interval. Frequency of occurrence statistics showing about a 6.2% occurrence rate for the 2004 data is applied to give an average escape flux from Mars of 2.72 × 10⁵ electrons/(cm² s) during 2004. By estimating the outflow area as 1.16 × 10¹⁸ cm² at X = −1.5 R_Mars the electron escape rate of 3.14 × 10²³ electrons/s is obtained. Thus about 9.92 × 10³⁰ electrons or 16.5 Mmole of electrons escaped Mars during 2004 due to the ionization of carbon dioxide and atomic oxygen by the He 30.4 nm line. Due to the caveats of the analysis, these derived escape rates should be considered lower limits on the total electron escape rate from Mars.  相似文献
