To enable quality control of measurement procedures for determinations of Mg isotope amount ratios, expressed as δ²⁶Mg and δ²⁵Mg values, in Earth‐surface studies, the δ²⁶Mg and δ²⁵Mg values of eight reference materials (RMs) were determined by interlaboratory comparison between five laboratories and considering published data, if available. These matrix RMs, including river water SLRS‐5, spring water NIST SRM 1640a, Dead Sea brine DSW‐1, dolomites JDo‐1 and BCS‐CRM 512, limestone BCS‐CRM 513, soil NIST SRM 2709a and vegetation NIST SRM 1515, are representative of a wide range of Earth‐surface materials from low‐temperature environments. The interlaboratory variability, 2s (twice the standard deviation), of all eight RMs ranges from 0.05 to 0.17‰ in δ²⁶Mg. Thus, it is suggested that all these materials are suitable for validation of δ²⁶Mg and δ²⁵Mg determinations in Earth‐surface geochemical studies.  相似文献   

Ensemble transform sensitivity method for adaptive observations   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The Ensemble Transform(ET) method has been shown to be useful in providing guidance for adaptive observation deployment.It predicts forecast error variance reduction for each possible deployment using its corresponding transformation matrix in an ensemble subspace.In this paper,a new ET-based sensitivity(ETS) method,which calculates the gradient of forecast error variance reduction in terms of analysis error variance reduction,is proposed to specify regions for possible adaptive observations.ETS is a first order approximation of the ET;it requires just one calculation of a transformation matrix,increasing computational efficiency(60%-80%reduction in computational cost).An explicit mathematical formulation of the ETS gradient is derived and described.Both the ET and ETS methods are applied to the Hurricane Irene(2011) case and a heavy rainfall case for comparison.The numerical results imply that the sensitive areas estimated by the ETS and ET are similar.However,ETS is much more efficient,particularly when the resolution is higher and the number of ensemble members is larger.  相似文献   

Technical Note AIMS (TM): An Alternative Tool for Coastal Mapping     

Dorota A. Grejner-Brzezinska  Charles K. Toth 《Marine Geodesy》1999,22(2):129-137

Space technologies, such as kinematic Global Positioning System (GPS), often combined with an inertial navigation system (INS), provide an efficient direct georeferencing tool for remote sensing and aerial surveying. Practically, these systems are now able to deliver high-precision orientation data for spatial data acquisition platforms in a timely manner, at relatively low cost, as compared to traditional methods. The Airborne Integrated Mapping System (AIMS (TM)), developed at The Ohio State University Center for Mapping, integrates high-resolution digital imagery, differential GPS/INS, and precise timing for high-quality data acquisition supporting large-scale mapping and other precise positioning applications. In this article, the AIMS (TM) system hardware/software configuration, its current operational capabilities, and the test results of airborne mapping of the coastal zone are presented.  相似文献

The Košice meteorite fall: Atmospheric trajectory,fragmentation, and orbit     

Jiří Borovička  Juraj Tóth  Antal Igaz  Pavel Spurný  Pavel Kalenda  Jakub Haloda  Ján Svoreň  Leonard Kornoš  Elizabeth Silber  Peter Brown  Marek Husárik 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2013,48(10):1757-1779

The Ko?ice meteorite fall occurred in eastern Slovakia on February 28, 2010, 22:25 UT. The very bright bolide was imaged by three security video cameras from Hungary. Detailed bolide light curves were obtained through clouds by radiometers on seven cameras of the European Fireball Network. Records of sonic waves were found on six seismic and four infrasonic stations. An atmospheric dust cloud was observed the next morning before sunrise. After careful calibration, the video records were used to compute the bolide trajectory and velocity. The meteoroid, of estimated mass of 3500 kg, entered the atmosphere with a velocity of 15 km s^?1 on a trajectory with a slope of 60° to the horizontal. The largest fragment ceased to be visible at a height of 17 km, where it was decelerated to 4.5 km s^?1. A maximum brightness of absolute stellar magnitude about ?18 was reached at a height of 36 km. We developed a detailed model of meteoroid atmospheric fragmentation to fit the observed light curve and deceleration. We found that Ko?ice was a weak meteoroid, which started to fragment under the dynamic pressure of only 0.1 MPa and fragmented heavily under 1 MPa. In total, 78 meteorites were recovered in the predicted fall area during official searches. Other meteorites were found by private collectors. Known meteorite masses ranged from 0.56 g to 2.37 kg. The meteorites were classified as ordinary chondrites of type H5 and shock stage S3. The heliocentric orbit had a relatively large semimajor axis of 2.7 AU and aphelion distance of 4.5 ± 0.5 AU. Backward numerical integration of the preimpact orbit indicates possible large variations of the orbital elements in the past due to resonances with Jupiter.  相似文献   

A small-scale landslide susceptibility assessment for the territory of Western Carpathians     

Juraj Holec  Martin Bednarik  Marián Šabo  Jozef Minár  Isik Yilmaz  Marián Marschalko 《Natural Hazards》2013,69(1):1081-1107

This study presented herein compares the bivariate and multivariate landslide susceptibility mapping methods and presents the landslide susceptibility map of the territory of Western Carpathians in small scale. This study also describes pioneer work for the territory of Western Carpathians, overreaching state borders, using verified sophisticated statistical methods. In the susceptibility mapping, digital elevation model was first constructed using a GIS software, and parameter maps affecting the slope stability such as geology, seismicity, precipitation, topographical elevation, slope angle, slope aspect and land cover were considered. In the last stage of the analyses, landslide susceptibility maps were produced using bivariate and multivariate analyses, and they were then compared by means of their validations. The validation of the bivariate analysis data was performed using the results of bivariate analysis for landslide areas of Slovakia containing five classes of susceptibility in scale 1:500,000. The validation area is the area of Western Carpathians within Slovakia. Eighty-two per cent of area does not differ in more than one class. The validation of the multivariate analysis data was performed using the results from the Kysuce region in the northern part of Slovakia in scale 1:10,000. The raster calculator was used to express the difference between each pair of pixels within these two layers. Seventy-seven per cent of the pixels do not differ in more than 25 %, 94 % of the pixels do not differ in more than 50 %. The maximal possible difference is 100 % (one pixel with value 0 and other with value 1, or vice versa). Receiver operating characteristic analysis was also performed, the area under curve value for bivariate model was calculated to be 0.735, while it was 0.823 for multivariate. The results of the validation can be considered as satisfactory.  相似文献

Effects of meteoroid shape on cosmogenic nuclide production processes          下载免费PDF全文

Jozef Masarik  Juraj Beňo 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2015,50(2):318-325

The shape of meteorites is one of the major factors influencing the production of cosmogenic nuclides. Numerical simulations using the Los Alamos Code System (LCS) particle production and transport codes were done to investigate particle fluxes and production rates of cosmogenic nuclides ¹⁰Be, ²⁶Al, and ⁶⁰Co in meteoroids of spherical, ellipsoidal, and cylindrical shapes. The calculations show that fluxes of nuclear active particles and also production rates of cosmogenic nuclides are sensitive to the shape of the irradiated parent body.  相似文献   

Perpendicular flow deviation in a magnetized counter-streaming plasma     

Y.-D. Jia  Y.J. Ma  C.T. Russell  H.R. Lai  G. Toth  T.I. Gombosi 《Icarus》2012,218(2):895-905

Charged dust exists in various regions in the Solar System. How this charged dust interacts with the surrounding plasma is not well understood. In this study we neglect the charging process and treat the charged dust as a fluid interacting with the ambient magnetized plasma fluid. The model reproduces the expected plasma deceleration with both positively charged and negatively charged dust, but a new effect arises. Negatively charged dust causes the magnetic field to bend in the direction of the convection electric field, while positively charged dust causes the opposite magnetic field bending. Consequently, the interaction does not only result in a perpendicular shift in the downstream current system, but also a rotation in these currents. We present quantitative results using the multi-fluid MHD code BATSRUS for both subsonic and supersonic interactions. We find that the same perpendicular bending exists for all counter-streaming interaction problems, independent of the shape of the dust cloud. The new model can be applied to plasma interaction studies including, but not limited to, charged dust particles in the solar wind, cometary plasma, the Enceladus plume, and active plasma releases, such as the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Experiment (AMPTE) mission. The predicted behavior is consistent with observations at Enceladus.  相似文献   

Internally consistent thermodynamic data for magnesium sulfate hydrates     

Klaus-Dieter Grevel  Juraj Majzlan 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2009,73(22):6805-6299

Experimental studies on the stability of several Mg-sulfate hydrates including epsomite (MgSO₄·7H₂O), hexahydrite (MgSO₄·6H₂O), starkeyite (MgSO₄·4H₂O), and kieserite (MgSO₄·H₂O) as a function of temperature and relative humidity are in poor agreement with calculations based on thermodynamic properties of these substances taken from the literature. Therefore, we synthesized four different MgSO₄ hydrates and measured their enthalpies of formation by solution calorimetry at T = 298.15 K. The resulting enthalpies of formation from the elements are:

•

Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ (epsomite) = −3387.7 ± 1.3 kJmol⁻¹

•

Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ (hexahydrite) = −3088.1 ± 1.1 kJmol⁻¹

•

Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ (sanderite, MgSO₄·2H₂O) = −1894.9 ± 1.3 kJmol⁻¹

•

Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ (kieserite) = −1612.4 ± 1.3 kJmol⁻¹

Using mathematical programming (MAP) techniques, standard thermodynamic values consistent both with our calorimetric data and previously published humidity brackets could be derived:

•

Epsomite: Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ = −3388.7 kJmol⁻¹, S⁰₂₉₈ = 371.3 Jmol⁻¹ K⁻¹, Δ_fG⁰₂₉₈ = −2871.0 kJmol⁻¹

•

Hexahydrite: Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ = −3087.3 kJmol⁻¹, S⁰₂₉₈ = 348.5 Jmol⁻¹ K⁻¹, Δ_fG⁰₂₉₈ = −2632.3 kJmol⁻¹

•

Starkeyite: Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ = −2496.1 kJmol⁻¹, S⁰₂₉₈ = 259.9 Jmol⁻¹ K⁻¹, Δ_fG⁰₂₉₈ = −2153.8 kJmol⁻¹

•

Kieserite: Δ_fH⁰₂₉₈ = −1611.5 kJmol⁻¹, S⁰₂₉₈ = 126.0 Jmol⁻¹ K⁻¹, Δ_fG⁰₂₉₈ = −1437.9 kJmol⁻¹

Additionally, heat capacity measurements and standard entropy determinations of several magnesium sulfate hydrate minerals from the literature are analyzed and judged against estimates obtained from a linear combination of the heat capacities of MgSO₄ and hexagonal ice. The results of the MAP analysis are compared to these estimates to conclude that heat capacity and entropy correlate well with the number of waters of hydration. However, even the good correlation is not good enough to capture the fine variations in these properties. Consequently, their experimental measurement is inevitable if reliable thermodynamic data are sought. Our MAP thermodynamic data show that epsomite, hexahydrite, and kieserite have stability fields in the T-%RH space. Starkeyite is metastable. Although no MAP data could have been derived for pentahydrite (MgSO₄·5H₂O) and sanderite, their transient existence suggest that both of them are metastable as well.  相似文献
