Absolute Calibration of the Jason-1 Altimeter Using UK Tide Gauges     

PHILIP WOODWORTH  PHILIP MOORE  XIAOJUN DONG  RICHARD BINGLEY 《Marine Geodesy》2013,36(1-2):95-106

This article describes an “absolute” calibration of Jason-1 (J-1) altimeter sea surface height bias using a method developed for TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) bias determination reported previously. The method makes use of U.K. tide gauges equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to measure sea surface heights at the same time, and in the same geocentric reference frame, as Jason-1 altimetric heights recorded in the nearby ocean. The main time-dependent components of the observed altimeter-minus-gauge height-difference time series are due to the slightly different ocean tides at the gauge and in the ocean. The main harmonic coefficients of the tide differences are calculated from analysis of the copious TOPEX data set and then applied to the determination of T, P, and J-1 bias in turn. Datum connections between the tide gauge and altimetric sea surface heights are made by means of precise, local geoid differences from the EGG97 model. By these means, we have estimated Jason-1 altimeter bias determined from Geophysical Data Record (GDR) data for cycles 1–61 to be 12.9 cm, with an accuracy estimated to be approximately 3 cm on the basis of our earlier work. This J-1 bias value is in close agreement with those determined by other groups, which provides a further confirmation of the validity of our method and of its potential for application in other parts of the world where suitable tide gauge, GPS, and geoid information exist.  相似文献

藏东玉龙超大型斑岩铜矿床是目前西藏发现的最大斑岩铜矿床,含铜岩体主要由早期石英二长斑岩及晚期正长花岗斑岩组成。本文用LA-ICP-MS法测定早期石英二长斑岩及晚期正长花岗斑岩锆石U-Pb年龄及Ar-Ar法测定钾质蚀变带黑云母的Ar-Ar年龄,发现玉龙含矿斑岩体早期石英二长斑岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄(41.3±0.3Ma, MSWD=0.92)与晚期正长花岗斑岩锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄(41.3±0.2Ma, MSWD=1.24)基本相同,也和黑云母Ar-Ar坪年龄(41.7±0.8Ma)及等时线年龄(41.3±0.8Ma)在误差范围内一致。玉龙斑岩铜矿早期及晚期岩体锆石U-Pb年龄一致表明含矿岩体在地质上的早期及晚期主要是岩浆在较短时间内脉动侵入所致。玉龙含矿岩体锆石U-Pb年龄(封闭温度约800℃)、³⁹Ar-⁴⁰Ar 年龄(封闭温度约300℃)及前人获得的Re-Os年龄40.1±1.8Ma(封闭温度约500℃)在误差范围内基本一致,表明含矿岩体岩体快速冷却,玉龙超大型斑岩铜矿床成岩成矿系统时间跨度小于1Ma。  相似文献   

Zoisite--Anorthite--Calcite Stability Relations in H2O--CO2 Fluids at 5000 Bars: An Experimental and SEM Study     

ALLEN  JOHN M.; FAWCETT  J. J. 《Journal of Petrology》1982,23(2):215-239

The reaction 2 zoisite + CO₂ = 3 anorthite + calcite + H₂O hasbeen reversed experimentally in cold-seal pressure vessels usingnatural phases and H2O–C02 fluids generated by water-silveroxalate mixtures. Equilibrium has been determined at 5000 50bars, 599 9 °C and 0–075 ± 0–010 X_{CO2.Extrapolation using the MRK equation of Kerrick & Jacobs(1981) gives an equilibrium curve of negative T–X slopeconsistent with bracketing runs at 500, 550 and 650 °C.The curve agrees only with a new bracket of Nitsch (in Hoschek,1980), and is at higher XCo2} than all other experimental determinationsand at lower XCO₂ than those calculated from the thermodynamicdata of Helgeson et al. (1978). Discrepancies are attributedto differences in starting materials and small errors in thethermodynamic properties of the phases. Reaction direction and equilibrium have been determined by observingsurface textures of run products by SEM. Growth and solutiontextures are non-equivalent, permitting unequivocal determinationof reaction direction even where the extent of reaction is small,an advantage over conventional and insensitive XRD methods whichmeasure bulk changes in the charge. Dissolution features ofanorthite and zoisite are defect-related indicating controlby surface reaction, whereas calcite dissolves by both surfacereaction and diffusion controlled processes. Margarite forms in most runs below 585 °C. Textural features,its restriction to the margarite stability field and comparisonwith feldspar solubility data demonstrate it is an equilibriumphase formed by incongruent solubility of anorthite and zoisitein H₂O-CO₂ fluids. Quench phases formed from the solute areconsequently silica-rich, with implications for metasomaticprocesses in feldspar–epidote–bearing rock and fluidsystems. Absence of margarite from runs with anorthite, zoisiteand calcite in the zoisite stability field is apparently dueto the fast growth rate of zoisite. The full equilibrium assemblageis zoisite–anorthite–calcite–margarite atthese temperatures, and the degeneracy of the model system isunobtainable in experiments, and presumably, in nature.  相似文献   

Sediment dispersal and palaeohydraulics of Oligocene rivers in the eastern Ebro Basin     

PHILIP ALLEN  MARIA MANGE-RAJETZKY 《Sedimentology》1982,29(5):705-716

Mapping of heavy mineral associations and diagnostic accessories in Oligocene sediments of the eastern Ebro Basin has revealed two major provinces and several sub-provinces. The Pyrenean Province is characterized by an apatite-tourmaline-garnet association with diagnostic staurolite in the west (western Pyrenean Sub-Province) and micaceous composite grains plus chloritoid in the east (eastern Pyrenean Sub-Province). The Catalanides Province is characterized by an ultrastable angular brown tourmaline-staurolite association with kyanite in the south-west (Montsant Sub-Province), faceted garnets and rounded tourmalines in an intermediate position (St Miquel del Montclar Sub-Province) and in the north-east rounded and green tourmalines admixed with clinopyroxene, apatite and micas derived from the Pyrenees (Montserrat Sub-Province). Palaeodischarges have been estimated from 30 channels distributed throughout both major provinces. A gradual decrease in river discharge through Oligocene times is indicated for the rivers of Catalanides parentage, although the discharges of high-sinuosity streams alone remain uniform. This decrease through time of Catalanides drainage competitiveness is reflected in the greater areal extent of the Pyrenean petrological province together with a progressive displacement south or south-eastwards of basinal lacustrine facies. The increasing dominance of Pyrenean drainage during the Oligocene may be due to more prolonged tectonic activity in the Pyrenees compared to the more quiescent Catalanides.  相似文献   

New interpretations of Great Salt Lake ooids and of ancient non-skeletal carbonate mineralogy   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

PHILIP A. SANDBERG 《Sedimentology》1975,22(4):497-537

Earlier interpretations of textural alteration affecting Great Salt Lake ooids have greatly influenced concepts of ooid diagenesis. Scanning electron microscope study shows, however, that the coarse radial aragonite rays are depositional, that no recrystallization of pellet cores has occurred, and that Great Salt Lake ooids have not suffered noticeable diagenesis. As suggested by Kahle (1974), radial texture in ancient calcitic ooids is probably mainly original, not diagenetic. Retention of such fine textures has been attributed to organic matter (since found to be equivalent in modern skeletal and non-skeletal grains) or to paramorphic replacement (proposed for non-skeletal grains whose original aragonite mineralogy was only inferred from modern analogs). Pleistocene ooids known to have been aragonite alter like aragonite shells to coarse neomorphic calcite, often with aragonite relics. The striking uniformity of that coarse texture in neomorphic calcite replacing known skeletal aragonites throughout the geologic record has been noted for over 100 years. In contrast, Mississippian ooids retain fine texture as do calcite layers of coexisting gastropods, but unlike the strongly altered aragonite layers of these same gastropods. Therefore, inferences of original aragonitic mineralogy of ancient non-skeletal carbonate grains (including muds) which are now calcite but retain fine texture appear unwarranted, as do assumptions of differential diagenetic behaviour of ancient aragonitic skeletal and non-skeletal grains. Accordingly, modern depositional environments of marine ooids and carbonate muds must be rejected as chemically unrepresentative of comparable ancient environments. It is inferred that ancient non-skeletal carbonates were originally predominantly or exclusively calcite because of an earlier lower oceanic Mg/Ca ratio (<2/1) which altered progressively to values favouring aragonite (modern Mg/Ca value = 5/1). Major influencing factors are: selective removal of calcium by planktonic foraminifers and coccolithophorids since Jurassic-Cretaceous time and by abundant younger, Mg-poor aragonite skeletons and an erratic trend toward decreasing dolomite formation (decreasing removal of oceanic Mg). The change to aragonite dominance over calcite for non-skeletal carbonates was probably during early to middle Cenozoic time.  相似文献   

Determination of Niobium in 15 USGS Standard Rocks by NEutron Activation Analysis     

R.O. ALLEN  E. STEINNES 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》1979,3(1):57-60

The niobium concentrations in 15 U.S.G.S. standard rocks were measured by neutron activation analysis. The niobium was separated from the rock matrix (in the presence of ⁹⁵Nb tracer, which was used to measure the fraction recovered) before irradiation to improve the sensitivity. Results of this work are compared with those obtained by other techniques. Some results obtained by multielement X-ray fluorescence procedures agree well with the present data, but a systematic disagreement exists between these and the spectrophotometric data.  相似文献   

WAVELENGTH SELECTION IN MULTICOMPONENT NEAR-INFRARED CALIBRATION     

PHILIP J.BROWN 《地理学报(英文版)》1992,(3)

Modern scanning(near-)infrared reflectance/absorption(NIR)spectroscopes measure the absorptions orreflectances at a sequence of around 1000 wavelengths.Training data may consist of 10-100 carefullydesigned sample mixtures for which the true composition of the mixture is either known by formulationor accurately determined by wet chemistry.In future one wishes to predict the true composition fromthe spectrum.In this paper we compare a simple wavelength selection approach with methods whichretain all the wavelengths.It offers a powerful yet simple technique for choosing those wavelengths thatare specific to each pure component as against the other components(including the medium)for thevarying compositions.In the presence of a defined range of ingredients it thus chooses wavelengths whichare highly selective for each particular component.It has the added advantage of selecting wavelengthswhich are little effected by interaction effects and consequent non-linearities.The calibration data used consist of 125 observations of three sugars,each varying at five levels in afull 5~3 design.The validation set consists of 21 further samples specially selected to have compositionsoutside the range of the training sample.The selection methods perform much better on this predictionset than methods which retain all the wavelengths,700 in this case.The leave-one-out cross-validationinternal to the calibration data would point to the opposite finding and suggests that such cross-validations may be overly flattering to techniques such as partial least squares and may encourageoverfitting.After selection,simple straightforward least squares methods may be used,eschewing theneed for‘shrinkage’methods such as partial least squares or ridge regression.  相似文献
