The Phobos gravitational field modeled on the basis of its topography

The parameters of the best-fitting ellipsoid have been derived using the latest spherical harmonics of the Phobos topography (Duxbury, 1989) by solution of non-linear overdetermined inverse problem. The lengths of the equatorial axes of the ellipsoid have been determined (a = 12.9 km, b = 11.4 km). They are nearly the same as established by Duxbury (ibid.) on the basis of the linearized relationship between the squared lengths of ellipsoidal axes and the topography coefficients C ₂₀ and C _22. The length of the polar axis (c = 9.1 km) differs of about 20% from Duxbury's value. Supposing mass homogeneity of Phobos, the Stokes parameters of the external gravitational field have been derived up to those of the sixth degree and order. The large irregularities in the Phobos figure cause the values of the Duxbury's potential coefficients be fairly inaccurate except the harmonics C ₂₀, C ₃₂, S ₄₃ and S ₅₁, i.e. linearized relationship between gravity and topography cannot be applied for Phobos. Finally, positions of the centre of figure and the directions of the principal axes of inertia have been established.  相似文献   

Lever constants and gravity meter sensitivity     

Vladimír Tobyáš  Karel Diviš  Reviewer Z. Šimon 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1982,26(3):231-237

Summary For the Worden, Sharpe and Scintrex gravity meters, the lever constants were derived from the amplitude response to the vertical motion and their relation to the sensitivity of the gravity meter was verified. It is then possible to calculate the lever constants for the actual sensitivity of the gravity meter without further measurements and to apply them to estimating the dynamic behaviour of the reading beam.  相似文献

Geophysical Field Pattern in The West Bohemian Geodynamic Active Area

Regional geophysical data from detailed gravity survey, airborne magnetometry and gamma-ray spectrometry were analysed in order to determine the subsurface extent of contrasting geological bodies and to highlight subtle anomalies which can be related to the occurrence of earthquake swarms. Potential field data were compiled into contour and colour-shaded relief maps suitable for detecting structural tectonic elements. A shaded relief map of the horizontal gradient of gravity was used to detect considerable structural and tectonic features. The results of airborne gamma-ray spectrometry, showing the regional total gamma-ray activity, abundance of uranium, thorium and potassium, were included in this study. Only the two most instructive maps – the total gamma-ray activity and the abundance of potassium are shown. The main line of epicentres Nový Kostel – Poátky coincides well with the N-S configuration of abundances of these natural radioactive elements. The epicentres of micro-earthquakes detected by the local seismological network KRASLICE for the 1991 to 1998 period were plotted in the geophysical maps. The hypocentres of earthquakes in the main epicentral zone at Nový Kostel were projected onto the crustal density model based on the interpretation of seismic reflection profile 9HR and gravity data. The average distance between the Nový Kostel epicentral zone and the seismic profile was 4-5 km. Based on the interpretation of gravity data the hypocentres of the main epicentral zone seem to be associated with the western margin of the Eibenstock - Nejdek (Karlovy Vary) Pluton and, beside that, they follow the depth level where the allochthonnous part of the Saxothuringian Zone is thrust over the European parautochton. A drawing of the geodynamic model of the area is also shown.  相似文献

Evaluation of meteorological controls of reconstructed rockfall activity in the Czech Flysch Carpathians     

Karel Šilhán  Rudolf Brázdil  Tomáš Pánek  Petr Dobrovolný  Lucie Kašičková  Radim Tolasz  Ondřej Turský  Marek Václavek 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2011,36(14):1898-1909

Rockfall is an important process in the final sculpturing of escarpments and scree slopes that originate in bedrock landslides in the Flysch Carpathians. The spatio‐temporal characteristics of rockfall activity were studied at four localities representative of old landslides in the highest part of the Czech Flysch Carpathians (Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mountains). Historical activity, chronology, and spatial context of rockfall activity were reconstructed using dendrogeomorphic techniques and rockfall rate index (RR). A total of 1132 increment cores from 283 trees growing in the rockfall transport and accumulation zones enabled the dating of 989 rockfall events. Reconstruction of a 78‐year‐long RR chronology suggests similar rockfall histories and trends at all study sites, indicating the existence of major common factors driving rockfall dynamics in the region. Temporal analysis and correlation of the RR series obtained with monthly mean temperatures, numbers of days with temperature transitions through 0 °C and monthly precipitation totals show that meteorological characteristics have evident but variable influence on rockfall activity. The most important factor is the effect of freeze–thaw cycles throughout the year, supplemented by low temperatures, especially during autumn. The influence of precipitation totals is of lesser importance. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Origin of freshwater and polynya water in the Arctic Ocean halocline in summer 2007     

Dorothea Bauch  Michiel Rutgers van der Loeff  Nils Andersen  Sinhue Torres-Valdes  Karel Bakker  E. Povl Abrahamsen 《Progress in Oceanography》2011,91(4):482-495

Extremely low summer sea-ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean in 2007 allowed extensive sampling and a wide quasi-synoptic hydrographic and δ¹⁸O dataset could be collected in the Eurasian Basin and the Makarov Basin up to the Alpha Ridge and the East Siberian continental margin. With the aim of determining the origin of freshwater in the halocline, fractions of river water and sea-ice meltwater in the upper 150 m were quantified by a combination of salinity and δ¹⁸O in the Eurasian Basin. Two methods, applying the preformed phosphate concentration (PO^*) and the nitrate-to-phosphate ratio (N/P), were compared to further differentiate the marine fraction into Atlantic and Pacific-derived contributions. While PO^*-based assessments systematically underestimate the contribution of Pacific-derived waters, N/P-based calculations overestimate Pacific-derived waters within the Transpolar Drift due to denitrification in bottom sediments at the Laptev Sea continental margin.Within the Eurasian Basin a west to east oriented front between net melting and production of sea-ice is observed. Outside the Atlantic regime dominated by net sea-ice melting, a pronounced layer influenced by brines released during sea-ice formation is present at about 30–50 m water depth with a maximum over the Lomonosov Ridge. The geographically distinct definition of this maximum demonstrates the rapid release and transport of signals from the shelf regions in discrete pulses within the Transpolar Drift.The ratio of sea-ice derived brine influence and river water is roughly constant within each layer of the Arctic Ocean halocline. The correlation between brine influence and river water reveals two clusters that can be assigned to the two main mechanisms of sea-ice formation within the Arctic Ocean. Over the open ocean or in polynyas at the continental slope where relatively small amounts of river water are found, sea-ice formation results in a linear correlation between brine influence and river water at salinities of about 32–34. In coastal polynyas in the shallow regions of the Laptev Sea and southern Kara Sea, sea-ice formation transports river water into the shelf’s bottom layer due to the close proximity to the river mouths. This process therefore results in waters that form a second linear correlation between brine influence and river water at salinities of about 30–32. Our study indicates which layers of the Arctic Ocean halocline are primarily influenced by sea-ice formation in coastal polynyas and which layers are primarily influenced by sea-ice formation over the open ocean. Accordingly we use the ratio of sea-ice derived brine influence and river water to link the maximum in brine influence within the Transpolar Drift with a pulse of shelf waters from the Laptev Sea that was likely released in summer 2005.  相似文献

The Roermond earthquake of 13 April 1992, the Netherlands: geological aspects     

Vladimir G. Trifonov  Jean Klerkx  Karel Theunissen 《地学学报》1994,6(3):301-305

The epicentre of the Roermond earthquake is located near the western boundary fault of the Roer valley trough, one of the deepest and the most active in the Quaternary part of the Lower Rhine graben. The Late Pleistocene and Holocene activity of the trough is manifested by offsets of the main (Mindel) and the lower (Riss and Late Pleistocene) terraces along the boundary faults.
Surface fractures have been observed in an area of more than 50 km²: 2.5–3.5 km to the north of the town of Roermond, at 0.8 km to the south of the village of Herkenbosch and in the southeastern part of the village of Montfort. Three types of ruptures were differentiated: scarps up to 50 cm high along open fractures near the Maas River; open fractures (continued by scarps in some places) and open fractures with a liquefaction of the Quaternary alluvium sands. The last type is predominant. The location of the ruptures depends on the landscape and water-table of the region. While they could be produced solely by hydraulic shock during the earthquake (increased by the wet spring season), the majority of the ruptures strike N50°W ± 10°, i.e. parallel to the main trough faults, or N55°E ± 10°, along 'neotectonic lines', parallel to the Maas valley and deduced from space imagery. Thus, the ruptures could be the secondary surficial effect of the earthquake, linked indirectly with the active tectonics of the region.  相似文献
