Comparison of GPS TEC with modelled values from IRI 2016 and IRI-PLAS over Istanbul,Turkey     

Ramazan Atıcı 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2018,363(11):231

The Total Electron Content (TEC) prediction performances of the empirical IRI model and IRI-PLAS model were investigated by comparing the GPS-based TEC values provided by the IONOLAB group. TEC values were obtained on equinox (March 21 and September 23) and solstice (June 21, and December 21) days in low (2009), medium (2012) and high (2015) solar activity periods at Istanbul, Turkey. The prediction performances of the models were statistically analyzed based on the differences between the GPS-TEC and the empirical models, considering the maximum and minimum deviations, the correlation analysis and the root mean square error (RMSE). As a result of the investigation, it is seen that the empirical models have similar predictive performances when the plasmaspheric effects are neglected, and the IRI-PLAS estimations are generally a little closer to the observed GPS-TEC values than all options of IRI-2016 model. Also, it can be said that “IRI2001”, one of the IRI-2016’s “topside” options, can make better predictions than other options and “IG” solar proxy option of IRI-PLAS model is a more appropriate option than the others in TEC calculations over Istanbul, Turkey.  相似文献   

Upper crustal Poisson’s ratio and coda-wave attenuation beneath Eastern Anatolia     

Aydın  Ufuk  Şahin  Şakir  Salah  Mohamed K. 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2020,19(2):335-347

The attenuation of seismic waves reflects the elastic nature of the media within which the waves propagate. In this study, we calculate the Coda-Q(Q_c), frequency dependence(η), Vp/Vs and Poisson's(υ) ratios by using 2621 vertical component seismograms generated by 987 earthquakes recorded by 13 seismic stations in Eastern Anatolia, and creat a 2-D seismic tomographic Q_c model for the region. The obtained model provides significant information for exploring the boundaries of adjacent tectonic units within the upper crust and interpreting their dynamic characteristics. The 2-D Q_c model and the other parameters are consistent with the seismotectonic features of Eastern Anatolia. Highly heterogeneous Q_c values are observed in the study area dividing it into north-south directed bands of low and high attenuation. The highest η values were obtained beneath the northwestern and eastern parts of the study region. Clear, high and low υ values are obtained in the western and eastern parts of the study area, respectively. The spatial variations in the measured parameters are consistent with many geophysical observations including low Pn velocities, efficient Sn blockage, high heat flow, and widespread volcanism. Different upper crustal thicknesses and inhomogeneous stress distribution along the East and North Anatolian Fault Zones may also contribute to the observed heterogeneities.  相似文献   

Character of active faulting in the North Aegean Sea     

Ruhi Saat&#x;lar  Semih Ergintav  Emin Demirba  Sedat nan 《Marine Geology》1999,160(3-4):339-353

A re-evaluation of the reprocessed seismic reflection data was made for the investigation of the presumed western continuation of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) in the Aegean and mapping geometries of active faults in the Aegean Sea. Seismic data collected and processed by various national and international companies were selected from the data archives and they were reprocessed after stacking to bring them to the same processing and signal-to-noise ratio standards. The total length of the selected lines is 8000 km. We investigated the character of active faulting in the North Aegean Sea using seismic reflection data. Moreover, the relations of active faults with earthquakes were examined using earthquake fault plane solutions (FPS). We show that the active faults are dominantly normal in character in the NNE Aegean where FPS for earthquakes with M>5 indicate strike-slip movements along these faults. We propose a simple mechanism that potentially explains this inconsistency. Active normal faults are oriented in a NE–SW direction in alignment with the SW escape motion of the Anatolian block in this region and this orientation facilitates instantaneously strike-slip movements along these otherwise normal faults.  相似文献   

Spatial Heating Monthly Degree-Day Features and ClimatologicPatterns in Turkey     

M. Kadıoğlu  Z. Şen  L. Gültekin 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》1999,64(3-4):263-269

Summary  Degree-days as a measure of accumulated temperature deviations from a base temperature have many practical applications in various human related activities such as home cooling, heating, plant growth in agriculture and power generation in addition to energy requirement. Long temperature records are necessary for their reliable estimations at given stations. In this paper, degree-day measure has been applied to monthly temperature records for systematically changed base temperature values from − 25 °C to + 35 °C with 5 °C increments at 255 meteorology stations in Turkey. The results are represented in the form of spatial degree-day distribution maps, which are then related to various climatic, meteorological and topographic features of Turkey. For instance, free surface water bodies in forms of surrounding seas, lakes and rivers insert retardation in the expansion of heating degree-days over large regions. On the other hand, cold air penetration from polar regions in the northeastern Turkey originating from Siberia appears at moderate base temperature heating degree-days.

Geological evolution of the Gulf of Saros,NE Aegean Sea     

Çağatay  M. N.  Görür  N.  Alpar  B.  Saatçılar  R.  Akkök  R.  Sakınç  M.  Yüce  H.  Yaltırak  C.  Kuşcu  I. 《Geo-Marine Letters》1998,18(1):1-9

 The Gulf of Saros is an Upper Miocene transtensional basin in NW Anatolia, formed by the interaction between the North Anatolian Fault and the N-S extensional tectonic régime of the Aegean. The present configuration of the basin evolved mainly during the Plio-Quaternary under the increased activity of the North Anatolian Fault. During the late Miocene-late Quaternary, no sedimentation took place on the shelves. After this long hiatus, an important change in tectonic style about 0.2 Ma BP allowed sedimentation to resume in the gulf. Received: 14 February 1997 / Revision received: 12 November 1997  相似文献   

Investigation of groundwater contamination using electric and electromagnetic methods at an open waste-disposal site: a case study from Isparta, Turkey   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Gülçin Karlık  M. Ali Kaya 《Environmental Geology》2001,40(6):725-731

 Geophysical methods, when integrated with soil chemical and hydrogeological methods, can be used to investigate groundwater contamination. Direct current (DC) resistivity geo-electrical sounding and very-low-frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) data were collected at an open waste site used by the municipality of the city of Isparta, Turkey. The groundwater at shallow depths in alluvium, which is composed of gravel, sand and clay, were expected to be hazardously contaminated under and around the open waste-disposal site, in which both household and industrial wastes are known to be disposed of improperly. In this study, we mapped the spread of groundwater contamination using a VLF-EM method, which allows fast and inexpensive data collection. The method complements the results of geo-electrical sounding. There is a good correlation between the results of the VLF-EM and the DC-resistivity methods employed for the investigation of subsurface structure of the site, where soil chemical and previous hydrogeological surveys have indicated high levels of chemical concentrations.

Ordovician metagranitoid from the Anatolide‐Tauride Block,northwest Turkey: geodynamic implications     

Aral I. Okay  Muharrem Satır  Cosmas K. Shang 《地学学报》2008,20(4):280-288

We report a Middle Ordovician metagranitoid from the northern margin of the Anatolide‐Tauride Block, the basement of which is generally characterized by voluminous Latest Proterozoic to Early Cambrian granitoids. The Ordovician metagranitoid forms an ～400‐m‐thick body in the marbles and micaschists of the Tav?anl? Zone. The whole sequence was metamorphosed in the blueschist facies during the Late Cretaceous (c. 80 Ma). Zircons from the metagranitoid give a Middle Ordovician Pb‐Pb evaporation age of 467.0 ± 4.5 Ma interpreted as the age of crystallization of the parent granitic magma. The micaschists underlying the metagranitoid yield Cambro‐Ordovician (530–450 Ma) and Carboniferous (c. 310 Ma) detrital zircon ages indicating that the granitoid is a pre‐ or syn‐metamorphic tectonic slice. The Ordovician metagranitoid represents a remnant of the crystalline basement of the Anatolide‐Tauride Block and provides evidence for Ordovician magmatism at the northern margin of Gondwana. Prismatic Carboniferous detrital zircons in the micaschists indicate that during the Triassic, the northern margin of the Anatolide‐Tauride Block was close to Variscan terranes.  相似文献
