Temperature Sensitivity of Timing Measurements Using Dorne Margolin Antennas     

J. R. Ray  K. Senior 《GPS Solutions》2001,5(1):24-30

We have inferred the temperature sensitivity of Dorne Margolin choke ring antennas by direct estimation from differential clock estimates for two GPS sites separated by 2400 km. At each site, the cable and receiver systems are very well isolated from environmental variations. By direct comparison of the observed clock variations between these sites with local temperature measurements, empirical temperature coefficients for each system have been estimated. These thermal coefficients most likely apply to the only uncontrolled components of the systems, the Dorne Margolin choke ring antennas. Based on these results, the short-term (diurnal) stability of the antennas appears to be better than 2 ps/°C. The possibility that longer-term effects exist due to sensitivity in the daily average of the pseudorange observations has not been tested and cannot be excluded. ? 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献   

The impact of dynamic sea-ice on the climatology and climate sensitivity of a GCM: a study of past, present, and future climates     

C. D. Hewitt  C. A. Senior  J. F. B. Mitchell 《Climate Dynamics》2001,17(9):655-668

 We assess two parametrisations of sea-ice in a coupled atmosphere–mixed layer ocean–sea-ice model. One parametrisation represents the thermodynamic properties of sea-ice formation alone (THERM), while the other also includes advection of the ice (DYN). The inclusion of some sea-ice dynamics improves the model's simulation of the present day sea-ice cover when compared to observations. Two climate change scenarios are used to investigate the effect of these different parametrisations on the model's climate sensitivity. The scenarios are the equilibrium response to a doubling of atmospheric CO₂ and the response to imposed glacial boundary conditions. DYN produces a smaller temperature response to a doubling of CO₂ than THERM. The temperature response of THERM is more similar to DYN in the glacial case than in the 2×CO₂ case which implies that the climate sensitivity of THERM and DYN varies with the nature of the forcing. The different responses can largely be explained by the different distribution of Southern Hemisphere sea-ice cover in the control simulations, with the inclusion of ice dynamics playing an important part in producing the differences. This emphasises the importance of realistically simulating the reference climatic state when attempting to simulate a climate change to a prescribed forcing. The simulated glacial sea-ice cover is consistent with the limited palaeodata in both THERM and DYN, but DYN simulates a more realistic present day sea-ice cover. We conclude that the inclusion of simple ice dynamics in our model increases our confidence in the simulation of the anomaly climate. Received: 24 May 2000 / Accepted: 25 October 2000  相似文献

I. INTRODUCTIONA discharge of 100--200 m3 / s is needed to be diverted from a tidal reach and utilized as cooling water for a Droposed power plant in the Yangtze Estuary. The diversionchannel is divided into two parts by a levee along the river bank, an open channel stretchinside the levee is connected with a trench dredged on the floodplain, as shown in Pig. 1.Since the flow and sediment regimes in these two stretches are different, analysis is madeseparately for each of them.11.

Hydration, ¹⁸O enrichment and oxidation during ocean floor hydrothermal metamorphism of ophiolitic metabasic rocks from E. Liguria,Italy     

E.T.C. Spooner  R.D. Beckinsale  P.C. England  A. Senior 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1977,41(7):857-871

During ocean-floor hydrothermal metamorphism of a 225 m thick allochthonous Jurassic sequence of ophiolitic pillow lavas and underlying material in E. Liguria, Italy, the rocks were hydrated, enriched in ¹⁸O and oxidised. H₂O⁺ contents increased from ~0.3 to 3.8 wt.%, δ¹⁸O values increased from ~ +6‰ to values as high as +13.2‰, and ($\text{Fe}{}_2\text{O}{}_3\text{FeO}$1) increased from 0.18 to ratios as high as 1.0. Both δ¹⁸O values and oxidation ratios decrease in the original direction of increasing depth. Pillow margins are consistently more enriched in ¹⁸O and are more oxidised than cores.These observations are qualitatively interpreted in terms of a non-isothermal, heterogeneous reaction model of interaction of basalt with oxygen-bearing sea water during flow through the packed bed of pillows. Fluid flow approximated undirectional downward motion, and occurred in the recharge part of a cycle of single pass convection. Mass transfer through the pile was by flow (infiltration metasomatism), whereas intra-pillow mass transfer was diffusional. Oxygen isotope exchange and oxidation did not occur under conditions of perfect incremental equilibrium. An integrated bulk volumetric water/rock ratio of ~2 × 10³:1 is estimated from the oxidation profile.  相似文献
