Convection of geothermal fluids in the timanfaya volcanic area (Lanzarote,Canary Islands)

Summary A mathematical model has been derived to study the superficial thermal anomalies to be found in Lanzarote (605°C at 13 m depth) in association with the convection of geothermal fluids. The model is valid for a wide range of conditions, in particular for those found beneath the Timanfaya volcano (active between 1730 and 1736). Geological and geophysical data suggest that the heat source is related to a cylindrical magma body with a radius of 200±100 m and a top temperature of 850±100°C at a depth of 4±1 km.Energy is transported through fractures by magmatic volatiles and/or by water vapour coming from a deeply located water table: in such a convection system, a fluid flow of 10 l/m² day, which corresponds to a thermal flux of 130 W/m², is sufficient to explain the temperature anomalies observed at the surface. The relationships between gas flow and the surface temperatures, as well as the thermal gradients in the conducting fracture are also discussed.  相似文献   

寒潮冷堆增强的动力原因   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3  

陆光明  姚竞生  陶祖钰 《气象学报》1983,41(4):393-403

本文利用动力学诊断方法分析了1979年11月一次东亚寒潮过程,证明500毫巴冷中心在南移过程中不断增强是由于寒潮冷空气堆中存在上升运动使空气绝热膨胀冷却所致。文中还从动力学观点解释了寒潮过程中垂直反环流的成因。指出对流层高层(300毫巴)急流核上游(入口区)和下游(出口区)存在相反的铅直环流,上游为正环流,下游为反环流。急流核两侧存在强大的正负切变涡度平流是使急流核上,下游存在性质相反的铅直环流的原因。文中近似计算了这次寒潮过程中槽后偏北急流核两侧空气的12小时二维轨迹,证明槽后偏北急流核左侧强大的正切变涡度中心及其相应的下游正涡度平流引起了寒潮冷空气堆上空质量辐散。因此在寒潮分析和预报时应注意围绕西风槽的急流分布的不均匀性,特别是300毫巴槽后偏北急流中急流核的存在及其活动对预报寒潮冷空气堆的增强是十分重要的。  相似文献   

Kriging of water levels in the Souss aquifer,Morocco   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Mohamed Aboufirassi  Miguel A. Mariño 《Mathematical Geosciences》1983,15(4):537-551

Universal kriging is applied to water table data from the Souss aquifer in central Morocco. The procedure accounts for the spatial variability of the phenomenon to be mapped. With the use of measured elevations of the water table, an experimental variogram is constructed that characterizes the spatial variability of the measured water levels. Spherical and Gaussian variogram models are alternatively used to fit the experimental variogram. The models are used to develop contour maps of water table elevations and corresponding estimation variances. The estimation variances express the reliability of the kriged water table elevation maps. Universal kriging also provides a contour map of the expected elevation of the water table (drift). The differences between the expected and measured water table elevations are called residuals from the drift. Residuals from the drift are compared with residuals obtained by more traditional least-squares analysis.  相似文献   

Urban Seismic Risk Evaluation: A Holistic Approach   总被引：3，自引：4，他引：3

Risk has been defined, for management purposes, as the potential economic, social and environmental consequences of hazardous events that may occur in a specified period of time. However, in the past, the concept of risk has been defined in a fragmentary way in many cases, according to each scientific discipline involved in its appraisal. From the perspective of this article, risk requires a multidisciplinary evaluation that takes into account not only the expected physical damage, the number and type of casualties or economic losses, but also the conditions related to social fragility and lack of resilience conditions, which favour the second order effects (indirect effects) when a hazard event strikes an urban centre. The proposed general method of urban risk evaluation is multi hazard and holistic, that is, an integrated and comprehensive approach to guide decision-making. The evaluation of the potential physical damage (hard approach) as the result of the convolution of hazard and physical vulnerability of buildings and infrastructure is the first step of this method. Subsequently, a set of social context conditions that aggravate the physical effects are also considered (soft approach). In the method here proposed, the holistic risk evaluation is based on urban risk indicators. According to this procedure, a physical risk index is obtained, for each unit of analysis, from existing loss scenarios, whereas the total risk index is obtained by factoring the former index by an impact factor or aggravating coefficient, based on variables associated with the socio-economic conditions of each unit of analysis. Finally, the proposed method is applied in its single hazard form to the holistic seismic risk evaluation for the cities of Bogota (Colombia) and Barcelona (Spain).  相似文献   

Experimental study of surface texture and resonance mechanism of booming sand     

Qu JianJun  Zhang KeCun  Sun Bo  Jiang ShengXiang  Dong GuangRong  Zu RuiPing  Fang HaiYan 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2007,50(9):1351-1358

The sound-producing mechanism of booming sand has long been a pending problem in the blown sand physics. Based on the earlier researches, the authors collected some silent sand samples from Teng- ger Desert, Australian Desert, Kuwait Desert, beaches of Hainan Island and Japanese coast as well as the soundless booming sand samples from the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang to make washing ex- periments. In the meantime the chemical corrosion experiment of glass micro-spheres, surface coating experiment and SEM examination were also conducted. The experimental results show that the sound production of booming sand seems to have nothing to do with the presence of SiO2 gel on the surface of sand grains and unrelated to the surface chemical composition of sand grains but is related to the resonance cavities formed by porous (pit-like) physical structure resulting from a number of factors such as wind erosion, water erosion, chemical corrosion and SiO2 gel deposition, etc. Its resonance mechanism is similar to that of Hemholz resonance cavity. Under the action of external forces, nu- merous spherical and sand grains with smooth surface and porous surface are set in motion and rub with each other to produce extremely weak vibration sound and then become audible sound by human ears through the magnification of surface cavity resonance. However the booming sands may lose their resonance mechanism and become silent sand due to the damping action caused by the invasion of finer particles such as dust and clay into surface holes of sand grains. Therefore, clearing away fine pollutants on the quartz grain surface is an effective way to make silent sand emit audible sound.  相似文献

岩体风化程度分带，是常用于区分地壳表部岩体工程地质性质优劣的一种较老的岩体质量分类，由于参与风化带划分的因素中定量指标较少，因而造成分带的误差较大。从风化岩体裂缝发育程度的变化、岩体完整性的变化和岩体结构的变化出发，研究用岩体裂隙间距、岩石质量指标、岩体完整性系数和原有的定性因素，对风化岩进行量化分带。  相似文献

Heavy metals pollution of aquatic ecosystems in the vicinity of a recently closed underground lead-zinc mine (Basque Country, Spain)   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

M. Marqués  E. Martínez-Conde  J. Rovira  S. Ordóñez 《Environmental Geology》2001,40(9):1125-1137

A presentation is made of the study of an underground polymetallic sulphide mine and the pollution caused by this in the adjoining aquatic ecosystems. Troya Mine is in the Basque Cantabrian region (northern Spain). The annual production of the ore deposit of over 3.7 million tons of Pb (0.9%), Zn (11.2%) and Cu (0.2%) was 300,000 t. It was open and producing from 1986-1993. The mineralization was made up of pyrite, marcasite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Only the Zn and the Pb were mined. We studied the distribution and behaviour of the heavy metals Zn, Pb, Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr and Cd in the water column, dissolved and suspended fractions, and in the sediments of Estanda Stream and of Gezala Creek. Zn, Cd and Mn tend to be found in the water; Fe, Pb, Cu and Cr appear as an adsorbed fractionin the solid phases. Those of the second group are significantly linked to the fluvial sediments and present very high levels. The concentrations of the metals are conditioned by the waters from the mine galleries, by the leached waste, by the surface runoff, and by overflow from the spillway of the tailings pond. Our observations provide knowledge on the extent of the polluting power of the metals, the physico-chemical effects in play and the subsequent chances of recovering these highly affected environments.  相似文献
