MAPPING FROM AN AUTOMATED DISPLAY SYSTEM*     

Kurt E. Brassel  Jack J. Utano 《The Professional geographer》1979,31(2):191-200

This paper outlines recent developments in computer mapping and points out its importance for visualizing contents of geographic information systems. The authors present an integrated system of mapping packages and spatial-data files. Map examoles generated with this system are used to illustrate characteristics of various computer-mapping methods. The diversity of displays created from a single set of data demonstrates that mapping from automated display systems requires the user to take some decisions which have to be based on an understanding of the phenomena displayed, of cartographic communication, and of technical aspects of automated map processing.  相似文献   

Altitude profile of H in the atmosphere of Venus from Lyman α observations of Venera 11 and Venera 12 and origin of the hot exospheric component     

J.L. Bertaux  V.M. Lepine  V.G. Kurt  A.S. Smirnov 《Icarus》1982,52(2):221-244

Two extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrophotometers flown in December 1978 on Venera 11 and Venera 12 measured the hydrogen Lyman α emission resonantly scattered in the atmosphere of Venus. Measurements were obtained across the dayside of the disk, and in the exosphere up to 50,000 km. They were analyzed with spherically symmetric models for which the radiative transfer equation was solved. The H content of the Venus atmosphere varies from optically thin to moderately thick regions. A shape fit at the bright limb allows one to determine the exospheric temperature T_c and the number density n_c independently of the calibration of the instrument or the exact value of the solar flux. The dayside exospheric temperature was measured for the first time in the polar regions, with T_c = 300 ± 25°K for Venera 11 (79°S) and T_c = 275 ± 25°K (59°S) for Venera 12. At the same place, the density is n_c = 4_?2⁺³ × 10⁴ atom.cm^?3, and the integrated number density N_t from 250 to 110 km (the level of CO₂ absorption) is 2.1 × 10¹² atom.cm^?2, a factor of 3 to 6 lower than that predicted in aeronomical models. This probably indicates that the models should be revised in the content of H-bearing molecules and should include the effect of dynamics. Across the disk the value of N_t decreases smoothly with a total variation of two from the morning side to the afternoon side. Alternately it could be a latitude effect, with less hydrogen in the polar regions. The nonthermal component if clearly seen up to 40,000 km of altitude. It is twice as abundant as at the time of Mariner 10 (solar minimum). Its radial distribution above 4000 km can be simulated by an exospheric distribution with T = 10³⁰K and n = 10³ atom.cm^?3 at the exobase level. However, there are less hot atoms between 2000 and 4000 km than predicted by an ionospheric source. A by-product of the analysis is a determination of a very high solar Lyman α flux of 7.6 × 10¹¹ photons (cm² sec Å)^?1 at line center (1 AU) in December 1978.  相似文献   

Sediment contamination in floodplains and alluvial terraces as an historical record of gold exploitation in the Carmo River basin,Southeast Quadrilátero Ferrífero,Minas Gerais,Brazil     

Adivane Terezinha Costa  Hermínio Arias Nalini  Paulo de Tarso Amorim Castro  Jorge Carvalho de Lena  Peter Morgenstern  Kurt Friese 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2006,34(3):245-256

This paper describes the geochemistry of sediment samples placed in floodplains and alluvial terraces downstream from gold mines in the Carmo River basin, Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The geochemistry signature Na₂O, K₂O, SiO₂, CaO, MgO, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, P₂O₅, Mn, As, Cu, Zn, Ba, Ni, Cr, S, Co were analyzed in different facies from stratigraphic profiles. As, Cu, Zn, and Mn anomalies are mainly associated with the clayed facies deposited in floodplains and oxbow lakes, and with coarse‐sediment facies deposited in the channel. The facies were accumulated by the gold exploitation activity in the region. The contamination of As, Cu, and Zn was controlled by minerals such as iron oxides and hydroxides (hematite, magnetite, and mainly goethite), manganese oxides, and sulfide‐rich minerals. The As‐bearing sediments of the region characterize one of the most As contaminated area of Brazil. Their main source is associated with gold exploration in the last three centuries.  相似文献   

Spatial distribution and bonding forms of heavy metals in sediments along the middle course of the River Elbe (km 287ċ390)     

Andrea van der Veen  Corinna Ahlers  Dieter W. Zachmann  Kurt Friese 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2006,34(3):214-222

Sediments of eight groyne fields along the middle course of the River Elbe (river km 287?390) were geochemically studied. The 78 sediment samples were analysed for pH and grain size distribution. The grain size fraction < 2 μm was used for mineralogical and chemical analysis: semiquantitative clay mineral analysis; total element content (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mn, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn), total inorganic and organic C, and bonding form fractionation with a six‐step sequential chemical extraction. The latter was performed on selected samples (n = 32). The sediments along the Elbe's course are still contaminated with heavy metals far above the local geogenic background level. An enrichment factor of more than 15 was calculated for zinc. Cr and Ni are the elements with the lowest enrichment. The bonding form analysis of selected heavy metals shows a dominance of relatively immobile bonding forms, e. g. the moderately reducible and the residual fraction, which implies a relative low mobility potential. Only Zn poses a higher potential threat to the environment, since it has a higher percentage of the first three extracted phases: adsorbed, carbonate, and easily reducible fraction.  相似文献

Schwefel-Isotope und die Genese von Erzlagerstätten     

Univ.-Dozent Dr. Kurt v. Gehlen 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1966,55(1):178-197

Zusammenfassung Die Möglichkeiten und Probleme der genetischen Ausdeutung von Schwefel-Isotopen-Verhältnissen in Erzmineralien werden an Beispielen (vorwiegend nach Messungen verschiedener Autoren im Göttinger Zentrallabor) diskutiert. Es ergeben sich z. B. Anhaltspunkte, ob eine Lagerstätte von basaltischen Magmen aus dem Erdmantel abzuleiten sein kann oder nicht. Die Meßdaten von Meggen und vom Rammeisberg sind mit einer Ableitung aus dem Erdmantel höchstens bei wesentlichen Zusatzannahmen (sehr starke Assimilation von ungewöhnlichem Krustenmaterial oder extreme Fraktionierung in einem Sekundärherd) vereinbar. Aus der Kruste abzuleitende hydrothermale Lagerstätten können schwankende (Harz) oder auch ziemlich einheitliche S-Isotopen-Verhältnisse zeigen (Freiberg/ Sa.; Süddeutschland). Extreme Unterschiede innerhalb der Lagerstätte Wiesloch bei Heidelberg werden durch bakterielle Fraktionierung eines begrenzten Sulfat-Vorrates gedeutet. — In Abb. 6 sind außerdem Blei-Isotopen-Verhältnisse aus Süddeutschland dargestellt.

The possibilities and problems of the genetical interpretation of sulfur isotope ratios in ore minerals are discussed using mainly results from the Göttingen isotope laboratory. For example, criteria are obtained regarding the question whether a certain deposit can be derived from basaltic magmas from the Earth's mantle, or not. The sulfur isotope data for minerals from the deposits of Meggen and Rammelsberg (Germany) are only consistent with a derivation from the mantle if substantial additional assumptions are made (very strong assimilation of unusual crustal material or extreme fractionation in a secondary magma chamber). Hydrothermal deposits derived from the Earth's crust can show variable (Harz mountains) or also rather uniform isotope ratios (Freiberg/Saxony; Southern Germany). Extreme variations within the deposit of Wiesloch near Heidelberg are interpreted as caused by bacterial fractionation of a limited amount of sulfate. - Fig. 6 shows lead isotope ratios from Southern Germany.

Die Diabasvorkommen des Amazonasgebietes und das Problem des Intrusionsmechanismus     

Dr. Kurt Vollbrecht 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1964,53(2):686-706

Zusammenfassung Unter Bezug auf die beobachteten großräumigen Diabasvorkommen im Gebiet des Amazonasbeckens wird der Versuch unternommen, den Intrusionsmechanismus basaltischer Schmelzen prinzipiell zu erklären. Es läßt sich zeigen, daß das Problem der Magmenbewegung von dem der Magmaentstehung nicht zu trennen ist. Beide bedürfen der Anwendung sowohl hydrostatischer als auch hydrodynamischer Gesetzmäßigkeiten.Die Beachtung der hydrostatischen Gesichtspunkte erfordert einerseits eine Herdlage in den oberen Teilen des Erdmantels, wo aber andererseits die Entstehung der Schmelze aus thermischen Gründen nicht ohne Konvektionsströmungen denkbar ist.Die Annahme eines konvektiven Zirkulationssystems im Mantel, dessen Auswirkung gelegentlich durch Schweremessungen beobachtbar sein können, beantwortet viele wichtige offene Fragen im Problemkreis des Intrusionsmechanismus basischer Gesteine.

Basing on huge occurrence of diabase in the Amazon basin, a limited distribution of which is dealt with in this paper, an outline of the principal mechanism of intrusions of basaltic magma is attempted. Apparently, the problem of movement of magma is not allowed to be regarded without that of its origin. Both, movement and origin, are subjected to hydrostatical and hydrodynamical laws.The application of the hydrostatics demands the source of magma to be in the upper parts of the earth's mantle. In this location, however, temperature seems to be insufficient to originate melted basaltic rocks unless thermical convection takes place.The postulation of a vertical system of circulation in the mantle, the effects of which sometimes may be recognized by gravity measurements, solves some important problems of the mechanism of intrusion. In this way, among other things, the deep lying mass of higher density along the center of the Amazon basin may be determined as to triassic-jurassic age.

Résumé Considérant la présence de diabases en grande quantité dans le bassin de l'Amazone, l'auteur tente d'interpréter dans son principe le mécanisme d'intrusion des liquides basaltiques. Il semble que le problème du mouvement du magma ne peut pas être séparé de celui de son origine. Tous deux doivent être soumis à des lois hydrostatiques et hydrodynamiques.La considération du point de vue hydrostatique donne à penser que la source du magma se trouve dans la partie supérieure du manteau terrestre où cependant, pour des raisons thermiques, on ne peut penser à la formation de liquides magmatiques sans courants de convection.L'hypothèse d'un système de circulation convective dans le manteau, dont les effets ont parfois été observés par des mesures de gravité, apporte une solution à quelques problèmes concernant le mécanisme d'intrusion. Dans cet ordre d'idées, la masse profonde de forte densité située dans le centre du bassin de l'Amazone peut être rapportée au Triasique-Jurassige.

Zusammenfassung Es werden die Ergebnisse einer Berechnung des geomagnetischen Potentials in Form einer Reihenentwicklung nach Kugelfunktionen bis zur 15. Ordnung auf Grund der magnetischen Weltkarten für die Epoche 1945,0 vonE. H. Vestine und andern vorgelegt. Bei der Ableitung des Potentialausdrucks nach der Methode der kleinsten Quadrate wurden die Orthogonalitätseigenschaften der Kugelflächenfunktionen vollständig ausgenutzt.

Summary The results of the analysis of the main geomagnetic field for the epoch 1945.0 in a series of spherical harmonics to the 15th degree are presented. The analysis is based on the world magnetic charts derived byVestine et al. The coefficients of the potential are calculated by least-squares approximation taking advantage of the orthogonality of the spherical harmonics over discrete ranges.
