AVERAGE GLOBAL LOCATIONS     

Robert S. Yuill 《The Professional geographer》1987,39(1):69-74

Global distributions are commonly described by maps and tables which emphasize the dispersion of a distribution. The Mean Spheroidal Center (M.S.C.) defines the average location of a world distribution. It is an objectively determined point within the sphere's surface. The M.S.C. calculations are demonstrated using the world's 25 largest cities in each of four time periods.  相似文献

The effect of reionization on the cosmic microwave background–density correlation     

Tommaso Giannantonio  Robert Crittenden 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2007,381(2):819-826

In this paper, we show how the rescattering of cosmic microwave background photons after cosmic reionization can give a significant linear contribution to the temperature–matter cross-correlation measurements. These anisotropies, which arise via a late-time Doppler effect, are on scales much larger than the typical scale of non-linear effects at reionization; they can contribute to degree scale cross-correlations and could affect the interpretation of similar correlations resulting from the integrated Sachs–Wolfe effect. While expected to be small at low redshifts, these correlations can be large given a probe of the density at high redshift, and so could be a useful probe of the cosmic reionization history.  相似文献

High-performance direct gravitational N-body simulations on graphics processing units     

Simon F. Portegies Zwart  Robert G. Belleman  Peter M. Geldof 《New Astronomy》2007,12(8):641-650

We present the results of gravitational direct N-body simulations using the commercial graphics processing units (GPU) NVIDIA Quadro FX1400 and GeForce 8800GTX, and compare the results with GRAPE-6Af special purpose hardware. The force evaluation of the N-body problem was implemented in Cg using the GPU directly to speed-up the calculations. The integration of the equations of motions were, running on the host computer, implemented in C using the 4th order predictor–corrector Hermite integrator with block time steps. We find that for a large number of particles (N  10⁴) modern graphics processing units offer an attractive low cost alternative to GRAPE special purpose hardware. A modern GPU continues to give a relatively flat scaling with the number of particles, comparable to that of the GRAPE. The GRAPE is designed to reach double precision, whereas the GPU is intrinsically single-precision. For relatively large time steps, the total energy of the N-body system was conserved better than to one in 10⁶ on the GPU, which is impressive given the single-precision nature of the GPU. For the same time steps, the GRAPE gave somewhat more accurate results, by about an order of magnitude. However, smaller time steps allowed more energy accuracy on the grape, around 10⁻¹¹, whereas for the GPU machine precision saturates around 10⁻⁶ For N  10⁶ the GeForce 8800GTX was about 20 times faster than the host computer. Though still about a factor of a few slower than GRAPE, modern GPUs outperform GRAPE in their low cost, long mean time between failure and the much larger onboard memory; the GRAPE-6Af holds at most 256k particles whereas the GeForce 8800GTX can hold 9 million particles in memory.  相似文献   

The relationship between dissolved hydrogen and nitrogen fixation in ocean waters     

Robert M. Moore  Stephen Punshon  Claire Mahaffey  David Karl 《Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers》2009,56(9):1449-1458

Fixed nitrogen is a key nutrient involved in regulating global marine productivity and hence the global oceanic carbon cycle. Oceanic nitrogen (N₂) fixation is estimated to supply 8×10¹² moles N y^?1 to the ocean, approximately equal to current riverine and the atmospheric inputs of fixed N, and between 50 and 100% of current estimates of oceanic denitrification. However, the spatial and temporal variability of N₂ fixation remains uncertain, mostly because of the normal low resolution sampling for diazotroph distribution and fixation rates. It is well established that N₂ fixation, mediated by the enzyme nitrogenase, is a source of hydrogen (H₂), but the extent to which it leads to supersaturation of H₂ in oceanic waters is unresolved. Here, we present simultaneous measurements of upper ocean dissolved H₂ concentration (nmol L^?1), and rates of N₂ fixation (μmol N m^?3 d^?1), determined using ¹⁵N₂ tracer techniques (at 7 or 15 m), on a transect from Fiji to Hawaii. We find a significant correlation (r=0.98) between dissolved H₂ and rates of N₂ fixation, with the greatest supersaturation of H₂ and highest rates of N₂ fixation being observed in the subtropical gyres at the southern (～18°S) and northern (18°N) reaches of the transect. The lowest H₂ saturation and N₂ fixation were observed in the equatorial region between 8°S and 14°N. We propose that an empirical relationship between H₂ supersaturations and N₂ fixation measurements could be used to guide sampling for ¹⁵N fixation measurements or to aid the spatial interpolation of such measurements.  相似文献
