A one-dimensional Explicit Time-dependent Tilting cloud Model (ETTM) that separates updraft and downdraft columns and takes into account the effect of cloud tilting on precipitation is introduced and incorporated into the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS). Results of the stand-alone ETTM are compared with that of cloud resolving simulations using the ARPS mesoscale model. Inter-comparison is performed by qualitative examination of simulated parameters such as vertical distribution of fluxes of mass, heat, and moisture. Although there is a great degree of similarity between the vertical profiles, ETTM systematically underestimates magnitudes of all fluxes. Sensitivity tests carried with ETTM show that the effect of varying cloud radius and tilting angle is considerable on the simulated cloud behavior. Increasing the cloud radius, results in a corresponding increase in fluxes of mass, heat, and moisture, while increasing the cloud tilt angle has the opposite effect. Since ETTM showed promise as a suitable sub-grid cumulus parameterization scheme; it was incorporated into ARPS as an additional cumulus parameterization scheme (CPS) to be available for the wider community. Results of simulations using ETTM and other CPSs already available in ARPS were compared for 2, 4 and 10 km grid spacings to assess its utility. Simulation results of the 2 km grid showed that at this resolution, the simulated time series of updraft velocities using the new scheme (ETTM) compared well with the results of other schemes in the ARPS model. The simulations with horizontal resolution of 4 km that was compared with the convection resolving reference run (No-CPS-2KM) showed almost consistent results for all schemes except for one using KF scheme. The results of the simulation with the ETTM scheme and other schemes in the model with resolution of 10 km showed that at this resolution, there is not significant difference between the uses of these schemes.  相似文献   

Geology,alteration, age,and origin of iron oxide–apatite deposits in Upper Eocene quartz monzonite,Zanjan district,NW Iran

Iron oxide–apatite deposits are present in Upper Eocene pyroxene-quartz monzonitic rocks of the Zanjan district, northwestern Iran. Mineralization occurred in five stages: (1) deposition of disseminated magnetite and apatite in the host rock; (2) mineralization of massive and banded magnetite ores in veins and stockwork associated with minor brecciation and calcic alteration of host rocks; (3) deposition of sulfide ores together with potassic alteration; (4) formation of quartz and carbonate veins and sericite, chlorite, epidote, silica, carbonate, and tourmaline alteration; and (5) supergene alteration and weathering. U–Pb dating of monazite inclusions in the apatite indicates an age of 39.99?±?0.24 Ma, which is nearly coeval with the time of emplacement of the host quartz monzonite, supporting the genetic connection. Fluid inclusions in the apatite have homogenization temperatures of about 300 °C and oxygen isotopic compositions of the magnetite support precipitation from magmatic fluids. Late-stage quartz resulted from the introduction of a cooler, less saline, and isotopically depleted fluid. The iron oxide–apatite deposits in the Tarom area of the Zanjan district are typical of a magmatic–hydrothermal origin and are similar to the Kiruna-type deposits with respect to mineral assemblages, fabric and structure of the iron ores, occurrence of the ore bodies, and wall rock alteration.  相似文献   

Variability patterns of the annual frequency and timing of low streamflow days across the United States and their linkage to regional and large‐scale climate     

Maryam Pournasiri Poshtiri  Indrani Pal  Upmanu Lall  Philippe Naveau  Erin Towler 《水文研究》2019,33(11):1569-1578

Low‐flow events can cause significant impacts to river ecosystems and water‐use sectors; as such, it is important to understand their variability and drivers. In this study, we characterise the variability and timing of annual total frequency of low‐streamflow days across a range of headwater streams within the continental United States. To quantify this, we use a metric that counts the annual number of low‐flow days below a given threshold, defined as the cumulative dry days occurrence (CDO). First, we identify three large clusters of stream gauge locations using a Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) clustering algorithm. In terms of timing, results reveal that for most clusters, the majority of low‐streamflow days occur from the middle of summer until early fall, although several locations in Central and Western United States also experience low‐flow days in cold seasons. Further, we aim to identify the regional climate and larger scale drivers for these low‐streamflow days. Regionally, we find that precipitation deficits largely associate with low‐streamflow days in the Western United States, whereas within the Central and Eastern U.S. clusters, high temperature indicators are also linked to low‐streamflow days. In terms of larger scale, we examine sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies, finding that extreme dry years exhibit a high degree of co‐occurrence with different patterns of warmer SST anomalies across the Pacific and Northern Atlantic Oceans. The linkages identified with regional climate and SSTs offer promise towards regional prediction of changing conditions of low‐streamflow events.  相似文献   

Surface runoff prediction regarding LULC and climate dynamics using coupled LTM,optimized ARIMA,and GIS-based SCS-CN models in tropical region     

Hossein Mojaddadi Rizeei  Biswajeet Pradhan  Maryam Adel Saharkhiz 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(3):53

The effects of climate and land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics have directly affected the surface runoff and flooding events. Hence, current study proposes a full-packaged model to monitor the changes in surface runoff in addition to forecast of the future surface runoff based on LULC and precipitation variations. On one hand, six different LULC classes were extracted from Spot-5 satellite image. Conjointly, land transformation model (LTM) was used to detect the LULC pixel changes from 2000 to 2010 as well as predict the 2020 ones. On the other hand, the time series-autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was applied to forecast the amount of rainfall in 2020. The ARIMA parameters were calibrated and fitted by latest Taguchi method. To simulate the maximum probable surface runoff, distributed soil conservation service-curve number (SCS-CN) model was applied. The comparison results showed that firstly, deforestation and urbanization have been occurred upon the given time, and they are anticipated to increase as well. Secondly, the amount of rainfall has non-stationary declined since 2000 till 2015 and this trend is estimated to continue by 2020. Thirdly, due to damaging changes in LULC, the surface runoff has been also increased till 2010 and it is forecasted to gradually exceed by 2020. Generally, model calibrations and accuracy assessments have been indicated, using distributed-GIS-based SCS-CN model in combination with the LTM and ARIMA models are an efficient and reliable approach for detecting, monitoring, and forecasting surface runoff.  相似文献   

Compensatory growth response of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum following short starvation periods     

Maryam Azodi  Eisa Ebrahimi  Omidvar Farhadian  Nasrollah Mahboobi-Soofiani  Vahid Morshedi 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2015,33(4):928-933

This sixty-day study was performed to determine the effects of short-term starvation and refeeding cycles on growth, feeding performances and body composition of rainbow trout(O ncorhynchus mykiss). Three hundred trout fingerlings with an average initial weight of 17.5±0.06 g were randomly distributed in 15 circular fiberglass tanks. The fish were exposed to 5 different feeding regimes; control: continuously fed twice daily to apparent satiation; T1 : starved for 1 day and re-fed for 2 days; T2 : starved for 1 day and re-fed for 4 days; T3 : starved for 3 days and re-fed for 12 days; T 4 : starved for 4 days and re-fed for 16 days. At the end of the experiment, growth performance, feed utilization, whole body ash and moisture contents were not significantly(P 0.05) different among the treatments. However, whole body protein content in T3 was significantly higher than other treatments(P 0.05). A significant difference in whole body fat content was observed between T3 and the control group at the end of the experiment(P 0.05). In conclusion this experiment suggests that feeding schedules involving starvation(1–4 days) and re-feeding cycles are a promising feed management tool for rainbow trout culture.  相似文献   

Earth surface deformation analysis of 2005 Qeshm earthquake based on three-dimensional displacement field derived from radar imagery measurements     

Masoome Amighpey  Behzad Vosooghi  Maryam Dehghani 《International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation》2009

We derived the 3D vector displacement field due to the 5.9 Mw Qeshm island (Iran) earthquake using ascending and descending interferograms and azimuth offsets obtained from ENVISAT ASAR data. The pick-to-pick estimated displacement was 10 cm in west, 69 cm in south and 22 cm in vertical directions. We then used strain analysis to study coseismic surface deformation of the earthquake. Finite differences and finite element as two numerical solutions were applied in order to compute the strain tensors. Furthermore, dilation and shear parameters were derived using the strain tensors. Finite differences results showed the maximum expansion of 0.002 and maximum contraction of 0.003. The amounts of maximum shear in xy, xz and yz planes were estimated using finite differences method as 0.05, 0.1 and 0.049, respectively. The maximum expansion and contraction were computed as 0.006 and 0.005, respectively, using finite element approach. Moreover, the maximum shear in xy, xz and yz planes obtained by finite element method was 0.2, 0.4 and 0.19, respectively.  相似文献   

An iterative scheme for two-dimensional supercavitating flow     

N.M. Nouri  A. Eslamdoost 《Ocean Engineering》2009,36(9-10):708-715

In the present research, supercavitating potential flow is studied numerically by the boundary element method (BEM). Using the advantages of BEM, an iterative algorithm has been introduced to capture cavity boundary in two-dimensional symmetric flows. In this algorithm, the cavity length is known and used to find the related cavitation number and cavity profile. In order to obtain finite length cavities, a cusped cavity closure model has been employed. Applying this cavity closure model, it is possible to change the cavity closure profile and its specified length. By comparing the results of the present analysis with previous analytical and numerical solutions as well as the experimental data, it can be concluded that the present iterative numerical algorithm is reliable and can be applied with BEM or other numerical methods to predict the characteristics of a supercavitating flow. Moreover, the feasibility of the cavity capturing in a flow field with low cavitation number is especially attractive.  相似文献

Petrochemical Characteristics and Timing of Middle Eocene Granitic Magmatism in Kooh-Shah, Lut Block, Eastern Iran     

Maryam ABDI  and M. H. KARIMPOUR 《《地质学报》英文版》2013,87(4):1032-1044

The Kooh-Shah region located in a Tertiary volcanic-plutonic belt of the Lut Block in eastern Iran comprises several subvolcanic intermediate to acidic intrusive rocks, diorite to syenite in composition, which have intruded into volcanic rocks. The Kooh-Shah granitoid rocks are characterized by enrichment in large ion-lithophile elements (LILE: e.g. Sr, Ba, Rb) and depletion in high field-strength elements (HFSE: e.g. Nb, Ta, Ti). The chondrite-normalized REE patterns are characterized by moderate LREE enrichment (La/Yb)N=6.01-10.01, medium-heavy REE enrichment, and absence of Eu anomalies. The Kooh-Shah intrusive rocks are metaluminous, shoshonitic with calc-alkaline affinity and high values of magnetic susceptibility, and classified as the magnetite-series of oxidant I-type granitoids. The age of Kooh-Shah granitoid rocks based on zircon U-Pb age dating is 39.7±0.7 Ma (=Middle Eocene) and the ranges of their initial 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd ratios are from 0.704812 to 0.704920 and 0.512579 to 0.512644, respectively, when recalculated to an age of 39 Ma. The initial ?Nd isotope values for the Kooh-Shah intrusive rocks range from -0.18 to 1.09. This geochemical data indicates that the Kooh-Shah granitoid rocks formed from depleted mantle in an island arc setting. The geochemical signature of the studied granitoid rocks represents a characteristic guide for future exploration of copper-gold porphyry-type deposits in the Lut block.  相似文献
