Temperature dependence of CO2 solubility in high pressure quenched glasses of diopside composition     

Chandra S Rai  Shiv K Sharma  David W Muenow  Dean W Matson  Charles D Byers 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1983,47(5):953-958

The temperature dependence of carbon dioxide solubility in glasses of diopside composition, quenched from 20 kbar, has been investigated using a combination of high-temperature mass spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy.CO₂-charged diopside glasses were synthesized in a piston-cylinder apparatus. Because of diffusion of hydrogen through the platinum capsules, significant amounts of H₂O, CH₄ and CO were detected along with CO: in the diopside glasses. All three carbon species show a bimodal release pattern in the mass pyrograms. The CO₂ solubility shows a linear and negative temperature dependence. We do not observe any maxima in the solubility curve as was reported previously (Mysen and virgo, 1980a).None of the additional bands observed in Raman spectra of CO₂-charged diopside glasses compared to those in the spectrum of diopside glass can be assigned to molecular CO₂. These bands are caused by CO^?2₃ ions and indicate that the physical solubility of molecular carbon dioxide is negligible. The bimodal release pattern observed for CO₂ in the mass pyrograms, is consistent with the Raman data which strongly suggests that CO^?2₃ ions are present in at least two distinct sites in the glass.  相似文献

Streamflow forecasting in remote areas     

K. P. Sharma  Richard H. McCuen 《Journal of Hydrology》1983,60(1-4):13-23

Forecasts of runoff volumes are required in order to maximize the utility of water-supply sources. In remote areas where hydrologic and land-use data are sparse, forecast models are needed; such models should be conceptually rational so they can be transferred to remote watersheds where data are sparse. A series of models were calibrated for a large watershed in India. A spatially-distributed seasonally-varying model having a structure similar to the rational method was found to provide precise, unbiased estimates of 10-day streamflow volumes. The model was tested on a watershed that was not used for calibration, with the results indicating a high correlation between the observed and measured streamflow. Thus, the model should provide good estimates of streamflow volumes on other ungaged watersheds.  相似文献   

Analyses and settlement study of a group of two,three and four partially stiffened floating granular piles     

Vaibhaw Garg  Jitendra Kumar Sharma 《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2020,15(3):203-223

ABSTRACT

Use of granular pile as a ground improvement technique in case of soft soils is one of the reliable and economic options. Analysis of a partially stiffened group of granular floating piles has been numerically assessed and presented here. Partial stiffening simply means that instead of using conventional material for making the granular pile (GP) in its full length, top region is replaced partially by some suitable material, having better mechanical properties, i.e. higher deformation modulus. Various normalised parameters like settlement influence factor for top of GP, settlement interaction factor, settlement reduction factor, percentage load shared by the base and shear stress distribution along the length of the granular pile are evaluated. The settlement influence factor for top of GP is found to decrease with the increase in the values of the stiffening parameters. The interfacial shear stresses get redistributed along the length of the granular pile.  相似文献   

Computation of regional gravity anomaly — A novel approach     

K. Mallick  K. K. Sharma 《Journal of Earth System Science》1997,106(1-2):55-59

A new scheme is put forward based on the shape function concept of finite element approximation to compute regional gravity anomaly. The uniqueness of this approach is that excepting eight (or twelve) discrete gravity measurements coinciding with the eight (or twelve) nodes of a quadratic (or cubic) isoparametric element superimposing the map space, often very large, no other observed gravity data are invoked to compute the regional. Tests on two Bouguer gravity fields, an oil prospect and a rift valley confirmed better resolution by this approach. This technique is straight forward, uses simple mathematics to be easily automated and yields repeatable results.  相似文献   

Selection of a kernel bandwidth for measuring dependence in hydrologic time series using the mutual information criterion     

T. I. Harrold  A. Sharma  S. Sheather 《Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA)》2001,15(4):310-324

  Mutual information is a generalised measure of dependence between any two variables. It can be used to quantify non-linear as well as linear dependence between any two variables. This makes mutual information an attractive alternative to the use of the correlation coefficient, which can only quantify the linear dependence pattern. Mutual information is especially suited for application to hydrological problems, because the dependence between any two hydrologic variables is seldom linear in nature. Calculation of the mutual information score involves estimation of the marginal and joint probability density functions of the two variables. This paper uses nonparametric kernel density estimation methods to estimate the probability density functions. Accurate estimation of the mutual information score using kernel methods requires selection of appropriate smoothing parameters (bandwidths) for use with the kernels. The aim of this paper is to obtain a practical method for bandwidth selection for calculation of the mutual information score. In this paper, the lag-one dependence structures of several autocorrelated time series are analysed using mutual information (note that this produces the lag-one auto-MI score, the analog of the lag-one autocorrelation). Empirical trials are used to select appropriate bandwidths for a range of underlying autoregressive and autoregressive-moving average models with normal or near-normal parent distributions. Expressions for reasonable bandwidth choices under these conditions are proposed.  相似文献   

Land use change analysis for agricultural management — A case study of Tehsil Talwandi Sabo,Punjab     

R Chaurasia  D C Loshali  S S Dhaliwal  Minakshi  P K Sharma  M Kudrat  A K Tiwari 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1996,24(2):115-123

Remote sensing applications have been operationalised in most of the natural resources management themes and at present the trend is on integrated surveys to arrive at sustainable developmental packages. In accordance with the IMSD project, the Tehsil Talwandi Sabo in district Bathinda has been selected for integrated survey and resource management analysis. In the present study multidate remote sensing data has been analysed to map existing land use and temporal changes. The study in Talwandi Sabo suggests that land use pattern in the tehsil is not similar to that of general land use pattern prevailing in the State. The area under settlements show many fold increase while there is no increase in forest land. Sandy areas comprising sand dunes (levelled and unlevelled) require suitable management for proper ecosystem balance.  相似文献   

The linear stability of libration points of the photogravitational restricted three-body problem when the smaller primary is an oblate spheroid     

Ram Krishan Sharma 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1987,135(2):271-281

This paper deals with the stationary solutions of the planar restricted three-body problem when the more massive primary is a source of radiation and the smaller primary is an oblate spheroid with its equatorial plane coincident with the plane of motion. The collinear equilibria have conditional retrograde elliptical periodic orbits around them in the linear sense, while the triangular points have long- or short-periodic retrograde elliptical orbits for the mass parameter 0 < _crit, the critical mass parameter, which decreases with the increase in oblateness and radiation force. Through special choice of initial conditions, retrograde elliptical periodic orbits exist for the case = _crit, whose eccentricity increases with oblateness and decreases with radiation force for non-zero oblateness.  相似文献   

Remote Sensing Data Acquisition,Platforms and Sensor Requirements

Although data available from various earth observation systems have been routinely used in many resource applications, however there have been gaps, and data needs of applications at different levels of details have not been met. There is a growing demand for availability of data at higher repetivity, at higher spatial resolution, in more and narrower spectral bands etc. Some of the thrust areas of applications particularly in the Indian context are;

1. Management of natural resources to ensure sustainable increase in agricultural production,
2. Study the state of the environment, its monitoring and assessment of the impact of. various development actions on the environment,
3. Updating and generation of large scale topographical maps.
4. Exploration/exploitation of marine and mineral resources and
5. Operational meteorology and studying various land and oceanic processes to understand/predict global climate changes.

Each of these thrust area of application has many components, related to basic resource areas such as agriculture, forestry, water resources, minerals, marine resources etc. and the field of cartography. Observational requirements for major applications have been summarized as under. Monitoring vegetation health from space remains the most important observational parameter with applications, in agriculture, forestry, environment, hydrology etc. Vegetation extent, quantity and temporal changes are the three main requirements which are not fully realized with RS data available. Vegetation productivity, forest biomass, canopy moisture status, canopy biogeochemistry are some examples. Crop production forecasting is an important application area. Remotely sensed data has been used for identification of crops and their acreage estimation. Fragmented holdings, large spread in crop calendars and different management practices continue to pose a challenge lo remote sensing. Remotely sensed data at much higher spatial resolution than hitherto available as well as at greater repetivity are required to meet this need. Non-availability of cloud-free data in the kharif season is one of the serious problems in operational use of remote sensing for crop inventory. Synthetic aperture radar data al X & Ku bands is necessary to meet this demand. Nutrient stress/disease detection requires observations in narrow spectral bands. In case of forestry applications, multispectral data at high spatial resolution of the order of 5 to 10 metres is required to make working plans at forest compartment level. Observations from space for deriving tree height are required for volume estimation. Observations in the middle infrared region would greatly enhance capability of satellite remote sensing in forest fire detection. Temporal, spatial and spectral observational requirements in various applications on vegetation viewing are diverse, as they address processes at different spatial and time scales. Hence, it would be worthwhile to address this issue in three broad categories. a) Full coverage, moderate spatial resolution with high repetivity (drought, large scale deforestation, forest phenology....). b) Full coverage, moderate to high spatial resolution and high repetivity (crop forecasting, vegetation productivity). c) Selected viewing at high spatial resolution, moderate to high repetivity and with new dimensions to imaging (narrow spectral bands, different viewing angles). A host of agrometeorological parameters are needed to be measured from space for their effective use in development of yield models. Estimation of root-zone soil moisture is an important area requiring radar measurements from space. Surface meteorological observations from space at the desired spatial and temporal distributions has not developed because of heavy demands placed on the sensor as well as analytical operational models. Agrometeorology not only provides quantitative inputs to other applications such as crop forecasting, hydrological models but also could be used for farmer advisory services by local bodies. Mineral exploration requires information on geological structures, geomorphology and lithology. Surface manifestation over localized regions requires large scale mapping while the lithology can be deciphered from specific narrow bands in visible. NIR, MIR and TIR regions. Sensors identified for mapping/cartography in conjunction with imaging spectrometer would seem to cover requirements of this application. Narrow spectral bands in the short regions which provide diagnostics of relevant geological phenomenon are necessary for mineral exploration. Thermal inertia measurements help in better discrimination of different rock units. Measurements from synthetic aperture data which would provide information on geological structures and geomorphology are necessary for mineral exploration. The applications related to marine environment fall in three major areas: (i) Ocean colour and productivity, biological resources; (ii) Land-ocean interface, this includes coastal landforms, bathymetry, littoral transport processes, etc. and; (iii) Physical oceanography, sea surface temperature, winds, wave spectra, energy and mass exchange between atmosphere and ocean. Measurement of chlorophyll concentration accurately on daily basis, sea surface temperature with an accuracy of 0.5 °K. and information on current patterns arc required for developing better fishery forecast models. Improved spatial resolution data are desirable for studying sediment and other coastal processes. Cartography is another important application area. The major problems encountered in relation to topographic map updation are location and geometric accuracy and information content. Two most important requirements for such an application are high spatial resolution data of 1 to 2 metre and stereo capability to provide vertical resolution of 1 metre. This requirement places stringent demands on the sensor specifications, geometric processing, platform stability and automated digital cartography. The requirements for the future earth observation systems based on different application needs can be summarized as follows:

1. Moderate spatial resolution (l50-300m), high repetivity (2 Days), minimum set of spectral bands (VIS, NIR, MIR. TIR) full coverage.
2. Moderate to high spatial resolution (20-40m), high repetivity (4-6 Days), spectral bands (VIS, MR, MIR, TIR) full coverage.
3. High spatial resolution (5-10m) muitispectral data with provision for selecting specific narrow bands (VIS, N1R. MIR), viewing from different angles.
4. Synthetic aperture radar operating in at least two frequencies (C, X, Ku), two incidence angles/polarizations, moderate to high spatial resolution (20-40m), high repetivity (4-6 Days).
5. Very high spatial resolution (1-2m) data in panchromatic band to provide terrain details at cadastral level (1:10,000).
6. Stereo capability (1-2m height resolution) to help planning/execution of development plans.
7. Moderate resolution sensor operating in VIS, NIR, MIR on a geostationary platform for observations at different sun angles necessary for the development of canopy reflectance inversion models.
8. Diurnal (at least two i.e. pre-dawn and noon) temperature measurements of the earth surface.
9. Ocean colour monitor with daily coverage.
10. Multi-frequency microwave radiometer, scatterometer. altimeter, atmospheric sounder, etc.

High speed gravity and magnetic calculations of uniform cylindrical bodies of arbitrary cross-section and finite length     

P. Vallabh Sharma 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1966,65(1):48-53

Summary A simple method is designed for programming the gravity and magnetic calculations of a right circular cylinder (vertical or horizontal) by treating it as a combination of thin rectangular slabs. It takes only a few seconds to compute a profile of each kind and the accuracy is comparable to that obtained by using exact expressions (involving complete elliptic integrals) instead. The method is also applicable to cylindrical bodies of arbitrary cross-section and could as well be used for rapid computation of derivatives of gravity and magnetic anomalies.  相似文献
