ABSTRACT

Poorly monitored catchments could pose a challenge in the provision of accurate flood predictions by hydrological models, especially in urbanized areas subject to heavy rainfall events. Data assimilation techniques have been widely used in hydraulic and hydrological models for model updating (typically updating model states) to provide a more reliable prediction. However, in the case of nonlinear systems, such procedures are quite complex and time-consuming, making them unsuitable for real-time forecasting. In this study, we present a data assimilation procedure, which corrects the uncertain inputs (rainfall), rather than states, of an urban catchment model by assimilating water-level data. Five rainfall correction methods are proposed and their effectiveness is explored under different scenarios for assimilating data from one or multiple sensors. The methodology is adopted in the city of São Carlos, Brazil. The results show a significant improvement in the simulation accuracy.  相似文献   

Secondary geochemical dispersion patterns associated with the nickel sulphide deposits at Kambalda,Western Australia     

R.H. Mazzucchelli 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1972

Geochemical investigations have shown that the nickel sulphide mineralisation at Kambalda is detectable by sampling and analysing the minus 80-mesh fraction of near-surface soils. Over unmineralised mafic and ultramafic rocks the distribution of Ni in soils accurately reflects bedrock Ni distribution. In the environment of sulphide mineralisation Ni is preferentially concentrated in the coarse fractions of the soils, with a corresponding depletion in the minus 80-mesh fraction. Both Ni and Cu nevertheless display strong anomalies in minus 80-mesh fraction soils in the immediate vicinity of sub-outcropping mineralisation.  相似文献   

Daily Milan Temperature and Pressure Series (1763–1998): History of the Observations and Data and Metadata Recovery     

Maurizio Maugeri  Letizia Buffoni  Franca Chlistovsky 《Climatic change》2002,53(1-3):101-117

Daily meteorological observations have been made at the Brera astronomical observatory in Milan since 1763. Initially they concerned air temperature, air pressure, wind direction and state of the sky; other measurements such as precipitation, relative humidity and wind speed were gradually included in the following years. In terms of homogeneity the series can be divided into two main periods, due to the great reorganisation of the observations that Francesco Carlini performed in 1835. As a consequence of other minor changes, each of these periods can then be divided into some other sub-periods, the most problematic years being the first (1763–1804) and the last (1963–today) ones. Within this context the purpose of the paperis to present the history of Milan's temperature and pressure series, giving particular emphasis to all the information that can be useful for the evaluation of the reliability and of the homogeneity of the data. Moreover the data recovery is discussed and the quality and the availability of both hand-written (observatory registers) and published (ephemeridis, bulletins, year-books) data and metadata sources are analysed.  相似文献   

The structural evolution of the southern Apuan Alps: new constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Northern Apennines (Italy)Évolution structurale des Apuanes méridionales : nouvelles contraintes sur l'évolution tectonique des Apennins septentrionaux (Italie)

Structural analysis performed in the southern sector of the Apuan Alps Metamorphic Complex (AAMC) and on the overlaying Tuscan Nappe (TN) pointed out a structural evolution much more complex than that outlined till now. The comparison between the structural evolutions of the two tectonic units could provide new important constraints on the tectonic evolution of the whole belt. The two tectonic units recorded different tectonic evolution during the first stages of compression, while they shared the same deformation history later after the Tuscan Nappe overlapped the AAMC. The coupled tectonic units have been then deformed by two systems of folds, in a compressive tectonic regime. Extensional tectonics affected the units later, at upper crustal levels.

Zeolitization of Oligo-Miocene volcaniclastic rocks from Logudoro (northern Sardinia, Italy)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Guido Cerri  Piergiulio Cappelletti  Alessio Langella  Maurizio de'Gennaro 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2001,140(4):404-421

The present study reports the results of research on volcaniclastic products from Logudoro (northern Sardinia), a reconstructed stratigraphic succession some hundreds of meters thick, comprising two different ignimbritic units separated by an epiclastic layer (generally ˜10 m thick). Clinoptilolite is the most widely distributed authigenic phase in epiclastite and unwelded units, always associated with opal-CT and sometimes with smectite. An adularia-like feldspar, cristobalite and epigenetic quartz are typical phases of welded units. Within the zeolitized units (unwelded ignimbrite and epiclastic units) clinoptilolite and opal-CT constitute the cement deriving from the transformation of the precursor rhyolitic glass, in agreement with a single zeolitization process that developed after the deposition of the entire succession. Silica increases in zeolitized rocks with respect to the precursor material, leading to hypothesize that the secondary mineralization process was favored by mineralized hydrothermal fluids preferentially circulating through the fault system of the area. Quartz veins in welded subunit and K-feldspar (adularia-like) preferentially located near the faults are in agreement with this hypothesis. The interaction of these fluids with the glassy fraction favored its dissolution and the consequent crystallization of clinoptilolite. Furthermore, the pH increase and the silica supersaturation enhanced the contemporary or subsequent precipitation of opal-CT. Received: 5 June 2000 / Accepted: 14 August 2000  相似文献   

Spatial filtering of exploration geochemical data using EDA and robust statistics     

C.Y. Chork  R.H. Mazzucchelli 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1989,34(3)

The spatial filtering techniques that are used for the analysis and interpretation of exploration geochemical data to define regional distribution patterns or to outline anomalous areas are, in most cases, based on non-robust statistical methods. The performance of these techniques is heavily influenced by the presence of outliers that commonly exist in the data. This study describes a number of filtering techniques motivated by the development of exploratory data analysis (EDA) and robust statistical procedures. These are the median filter (MF) and the adaptive trimmed mean filter (ATM) for the smoothing of regional geochemical data to reduce spurious variations; two new filters, the fence filter (FF) and the notch filter (NF), have been developed to define geochemical anomalies.The application of the spatial filtering techniques is illustrated by Zn data from approximately 3100 stream sediment samples taken in a regional geochemical survey over 25,000 km² of the western margin of the São Francisco Basin, Brazil. Regional distribution patterns for Zn obtained by the MF and ATM filters are clearly related to known stratigraphic units. Anomaly filtering using the FF and NF has delineated most known base metal and gold occurrences, as well as a number of anomalies located in geologically favourable environments but unrelated to any known mineralization. The two anomaly filters have, for the most part, defined the same anomalies in the study area but only the NF highlights the anomaly associated with the important Morro Agudo Pb-Zn deposit, which is too subtle to be immediately apparent in the unprocessed data.  相似文献
