The M _s 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake or “Great Sichuan Earthquake” occurred at 14:28 p.m. local time on 12 May 2008 in Sichuan Province, China. Damage by earthquake-induced landslides was an important part of the total earthquake damage. This report presents preliminary observations on the Hongyan Resort slide located southwest of the main epicenter, shallow mountain surface failures in Xuankou village of Yingxiu Town, the Jiufengchun slide near Longmenshan Town, the Hongsong Hydro-power Station slide near Hongbai Town, the Xiaojiaqiao slide in Chaping Town, two landslides in Beichuan County-town which destroyed a large part of the town, and the Donghekou and Shibangou slides in Qingchuan County which formed the second biggest landslide lake formed in this earthquake. The influences of seismic, topographic, geologic, and hydro-geologic conditions are discussed.  相似文献

A 100 m laser strainmeter system installed in a 1 km deep tunnel at Kamioka, Gifu, Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We have installed a laser strainmeter system in a deep tunnel about 1,000 m below the ground surface at Kamioka, Gifu, Japan. The system consists of three types of independent interferometers: (1) an EW linear strainmeter of the Michelson type with unequal arms, (2) an NS-EW differential strainmeter of the Michelson type with equal arms and (3) a NS absolute strainmeter of the Fabry–Perot type. These are configured in L-shaped vacuum pipes, each of which has a length of 100 m. (1) and (2) are highly sensitive (order of 10⁻¹³ strain) and have wide dynamical range (10⁻¹³–10⁻⁶). Observations with strainmeters (1) and (2) started on June 11, 2003. (3) is a new device for absolute-length measurements of the order of 10⁻⁹ of a long-baseline (100 m) Fabry–Perot cavity by the use of phase-modulated light. This third strainmeter will be ready for operation before the end of 2004. The laser source of strainmeters (1) and (2) is a frequency-doubled YAG laser with a wavelength of 532 nm. The laser frequency is locked onto an iodine absorption line and a stability of 2 × 10⁻¹³ is attained. The light paths of the laser strainmeter system are enclosed in SUS304 stainless steel pipes. The inside pressure is kept to be 10⁻⁴ Pa. Consequently, quantitative measurement of crustal strains of the order of 10⁻¹³ can be attained by employing the laser strainmeter system of (1) and (2) at Kamioka. This resolving power corresponds to that of a superconducting gravimeter. Using the laser strainmeter system, we expect to determine parameters related to fluid core resonance, core modes and core undertone as well as other geodynamic signals such as slow strain changes caused by silent earthquakes or slow earthquakes.  相似文献   

Element partitioning between olivine and silicate melt under high pressure     

Toshihiro Suzuki  Masaki Akaogi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1995,22(7):411-418

Element partitioning between olivine and silicate melt has been investigated at pressures 1–14 GPa, by using a 6–8 type multi-anvil high pressure apparatus. In order to observe systematics in the partitioning of trivalent ions, Li was added to the starting materials in order to increase the concentration of trivalent ions in olivine. With increasing pressure, it was found that partition coefficients of most of the elements gradually decreased. Trivalent ions generally showed parabolic pattern on partition coefficient — ionic radius diagram. When pyrolite-like material was used as the starting material, partition coefficient of Al, D_Al, gradually increased with increase in pressure while the partition coefficients of the other elements decreased, and the D_Al deviated from the parabolic pattern of other trivalent ions. The deviation of D_Al from the D pattern of the other trivalent ions was also found when olivine was employed as main component of the starting material. This result may be ascribed to the compositional change of coexisting silicate melt with increase in pressure.  相似文献   

Turbulence structure of sea breeze front and its implication in air pollution transport — Application of k-ɛ turbulence model —     

Toshihiro Kitada 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1987,41(1-4):217-239

A k- turbulence model was applied to a numerical simulation of sea breeze. The dynamical behaviors of eddy diffusivity, turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate, associated with moving sea breeze front, were predicted and analyzed. Results demonstrated, for example, difference of the turbulence structure between thermal internal boundary layer and inland mixed layer, and the double maxima structures of turbulence-related quantities in their vertical profiles just behind sea breeze front. The properties of the computed sea breeze front agreed qualitatively with those of a gravity current in unstable environment, observed by Simpson et al. (1977). Furthermore, the possibility that air pollutants released in the sea breeze layer might be trapped within small circulating flow at the sea breeze front, and move with it was shown in an advection simulation of hypothetical fluid particles using flows obtained.  相似文献

Excitation processes of infrared atmospheric emissions     

Toshihiro Ogawa 《Planetary and Space Science》1976,24(8):749-756

Excitation rates of the infrared emissions which are likely to occur in the mesosphere and thermosphere are quantitatively evaluated. They include the 9.6 μm band of O₃, the 15 and 4.3 μm bands of CO₂ and the 5.3 and 2.8 μm bands of NO. These emissions may be excited through nonthermal processes such as chemiluminescent reactions and resonant fluorescence in the thermosphere, whereas they are of thermal origin in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Increase of the non-thermal excitation rate caused by precipitating electrons could be responsible for the enhancement of the 4.3 μm band of CO₂, and the 5.3 and 2.8 μm bands of NO observed in the auroral thermosphere.  相似文献   

Topographic characterization of seismic networks using topographic position index and Voronoi tiles: a case of the Hokuriku region,Japan     

Sadra Karimzadeh  Masakatsu Miyajima  Toshikazu Ikemoto 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(5):99

Usually, seismic record stations are established in various topographic slope positions, from valleys to ridges. In most previous studies, topographic amplification factor (TAF) is proposed as one of the indicators of earthquake wave amplification which can lead to overestimation of earthquake magnitudes in seismic networks. This paper uses an indicator called the “Topographic Position Index” for topographic characterization of seismic stations in the Hokuriku region, Japan, and deals with a seismic individuation method through Voronoi tessellation, which is a spatial approach, to propose suitable sites for topographically unbiased or less-biased seismic stations.  相似文献   

A new interpretation of the 1304 Å triplet airglow intensity ratio with the fine structure levels $\text{O}{}^3\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{)}$ in local thermodynamic equilibrium     

Toshihiro Ogawa 《Planetary and Space Science》1982,30(1):39-44

The intensity ratios of the 1304 Å triplet airglow of atomic oxygen observed by Fastie and Crosswhite (1964) are interpreted on the basis of the radiative transfer formulation for a model with complete frequency redistribution in a Voigt line profile. A model for the fine structure levels $\text{O(}{}^3\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{)}$ in local thermodynamic equilibrium is favorable to the observed intensity ratios, as far as a Voigt profile is applicable. In view of large cross sections as calculated theoretically by Allison and Burke (1969), the mutual relaxation among the ³P_j levels should occur rapidly enough to allow the population in the ³P_j levels to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with the ambient neutral gases.  相似文献   

Numerical simulation of organic chemicals in a marine environment using a coupled 3D hydrodynamic and ecotoxicological model     

Kim DM  Nakada N  Horiguchi T  Takada H  Shiraishi H  Nakasugi O 《Marine pollution bulletin》2004,48(7-8):671-678

For ecotoxicological risk assessment in a marine ecosystem, we constructed a coupled three-dimensional hydrodynamic and ecotoxicological model (EMT-3D), and applied it to Tokyo Bay. The model was calibrated with field data obtained in 2002. The results of sensitivity analysis for dissolved Bisphenol A showed that biodegradation rate was the most important factor for concentration change. Bioconcentration coefficient was the most important factor for Bisphenol A in phytoplankton. Therefore, the parameters must be carefully considered in the modeling. The mass balance results showed that standing stocks of Bisphenol A in water, in particulate organic carbon and in phytoplankton are 7.85 x 10(4), 1.78 x 10(2) and 3.44 x 10(-1) g, respectively. With respect to flux, biodegradation in the water column had the highest value of 1.06 x 10(3) g/day, and next were effluent to the open sea, partition to particulate organic carbon, and bioconcentration in phytoplankton.  相似文献
