We constructed a wide field cryogenic telescope (WFCT) containing a whole Ritchey-Chrétien system and a focal plane array in a cryostat for near infrared observations to cover the field of view of 0.4°. The telescope has a primary mirror of 220 mm and an engineering grade 256 × 256 InSb array. The optical components such as two mirrors, filters, spiders, and radiation shield tube are cooled down to 180 K as well as the InSb array to 35 K by a mechanical refrigerator. We show the results of the background surface brightnesses and the limiting magnitudes at 3.3 and 3.67 μm measured at Sutherland, South Africa. We describe the on-going upgrade of this instrument, equipped with a 1024 × 1024 ALADDIN InSb science grade array. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

The analysis of heat and water fluxes in frozen silty soil     

DaHu Rui  Ming Lu  Kunio Watanabe  Jun Zhang 《寒旱区科学》2019,11(1):21-28

In this paper, based on the basic equations of water flow and heat transfer, the hydrothermal coupling model is established.The numerical model was realized in COMSOL Multiphysics software, and simulation results are compared with the experimental results of Watanabe and Wake(2008) to verify the effectiveness of the model. Through the calculation, we can obtain the dynamic changes of heat and water fluxes, thermal and hydrological properties, matric potential and temperature gradient in unsaturated freezing soil; and these variables are unmeasurable in practice.  相似文献

Mineralogy of phyllosilicate-rich micrometeorites and comparison with Tagish Lake and Sayama meteorites     

Takaaki Noguchi  Tomoki NakamuraWataru Nozaki 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》2002,202(2):229-246

Four phyllosilicate-rich micrometeorites (MMs) were investigated by a synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction technique and transmission electron microscopy. Three are saponite-rich MMs and one is a serpentine-rich one. In the saponite-rich MMs, we could not find serpentine, and vice versa in the serpentine-rich MM. In the saponite-rich MMs, major constituent minerals are saponite, Fe- and Ni-bearing sulfides, and magnetite. Two saponite-rich MMs contain fine-grained magnesiowüstite-rich aggregates. The aggregates consist of <50 nm polygonal magnesiowüstite coexisting with minor Fe sulfide grains. Their texture, chemical composition, and the result of heating experiments on matrix fragments of the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite strongly suggest that these aggregates were formed by the breakdown of Mg- and Fe-rich carbonate grains when the MMs entered the Earth’s atmosphere. The estimated major mineral assemblage of the saponite-rich MMs before entering the Earth’s atmosphere is very similar to that of the Tagish Lake carbonate-rich lithology, and we suggest that the MMs and the meteorite were derived from similar asteroids. The major mineral assemblage and texture of the matrix of serpentine-rich MM are similar to the matrix of the Sayama CM2 chondrite that experienced heavy aqueous alteration. Chemical compositions of serpentine in the MM suggest that the degree of aqueous alteration of the MM is weaker than that of Sayama. In the MM, cronstedtite does not coexist with tochilinite, which is different from CM2 chondrites that experienced weak to moderate aqueous alteration. However, the possibility that the serpentine-rich MM was derived from the CM chondrite asteroid cannot be ruled out, because tochilinite can be preferentially decomposed during atmospheric entry heating due to its lower decomposition temperature than that of cronstedtite.  相似文献

Accuracy assessment of QuickBird stereo imagery   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Mayumi Noguchi  Clive S. Fraser  Takayuki Nakamura  Takahiro  Shimono  Shoichi Oki 《The Photogrammetric Record》2004,19(106):128-137

The Geographical Survey Institute of Japan has recently carried out an evaluation of the metric performance of QuickBird stereo satellite imagery. This paper describes the accuracy assessment of the sensor orientation and geopositioning phases of the study, the aim of which was twofold. First, it was desired to confirm the metric potential of QuickBird imagery for 1:25 000 scale topographic mapping. Second, a determination was to be made of the accuracy attainable from the Basic image product. The techniques of rational functions and affine bundle adjustment were employed, the former with bias compensation. The results obtained both reassert the high precision of the rational functions approach and cast doubt upon the applicability of the 3D affine model for accurate geopositioning from QuickBird imagery.  相似文献   

Wenner法探测日本海岸附近淡盐境界面的实验研究     

唐心强  大年邦雄  李静  张文平 《水文》2006,26(6):42-46

本文在理论上对电探查法探测由数层地质构造组成的海岸带含水层的淡盐境界面的可能性进行探讨的基础上,对太平洋沿岸某地区进行了实地测量研究。在测量设置在海岸附近及分布于海岸纵深方向的观测井铅直方向电导率的同时,在观测井附近进行了电探查。结果表明,电探查法探测的淡盐境界面的深度与依据井水电导率区分的混合区域上端几乎一致,即电探查法探测的淡盐境界面的位置在混合区域的上端。因此,该方法作为一种监测海水入侵的手段是非常适宜的,且与以往的手法比较也是一种简单、快速、成本低廉的确定淡盐境界面深度的方法。  相似文献   

Crystallization of microlites and degassing during magma ascent: Constraints on the fluid mechanical behavior of magma during the Tenjo Eruption on Kozu Island, Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Bubble and crystal textures provide information with regard to the kinetics of the vesiculation and crystallization processes. They also provide insights into the fluid mechanical behavior of magma in a conduit. We performed textural (bubble and crystal) and compositional analyses of pyroclasts that were obtained from the Tenjo pyroclastic flow, which resulted on account of the eruption in 838 A.D. on Kozu Island, about 200 km south of Tokyo, Japan. Pyroclasts in one flow unit (300∼2,060 kg/m³; average density 1330 kg/m³) can be classified into three types on the basis of vesicle textures. Type I pyroclasts have small isolated spherical bubbles with higher vesicularities (67–77 vol.%) and number density (10.8–11.7 log m⁻³). Type II pyroclasts have vesicularities similar to type I (61–69 vol.%), but most bubbles exhibit evidences of bubble coalescence, and lower number densities than type I (8.9–9.5 log m⁻³). Type III pyroclasts contain highly deformed bubbles with lower vesicularities (16–34 vol.%) and number densities (8.2–9.0 log m⁻³). The microlite volume fraction (DRE converted) also changes consistently across type I, type II, and type III as 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10–0.15, respectively. However, the number density of the microlites remains nearly invariant in all the pyroclast types. These facts indicate that the variation in the microlite volume fraction is controlled not by the number density (i.e., nucleation process), but by the size (i.e., growth process); the growth history of each type of microlite was different. Water content determinations show that the three types of pumices have similar H₂O contents (2.6±0.2 wt%). This fact implies that all three types were quenched at nearly the same depth (35±5 MPa, assuming that the magma was water-saturated) in the conduit. If the crystal sizes are limited only by growth time, a variation in this parameter can be related to the residence time, which is attributed to the flow heterogeneity in the conduit. By assuming a laminar Poiseuille-type flow, these textural observations can be explained by the difference in ascent velocity and shearing motion across the conduit, which in turn results in the differences in growth times of crystals, degrees of deformation, and bubble coalescence. Consequently, for crystals in the inner part of the conduit, the crystal growth time from nucleation to quenching is shorter than that near the conduit wall. The vesicle texture variation of bubbles in types I, II, and III results from the difference in the deformation history, implying that the effect of degassing occurred primarily towards the conduit wall.  相似文献   

Persistence of road runoff generation in a logged catchment in Peninsular Malaysia     

Alan D. Ziegler  Junjiro N. Negishi  Roy C. Sidle  Takashi Gomi  Shoji Noguchi  Abdul Rahim Nik 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2007,32(13):1947-1970

Measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity (K_s) and diagnostic model simulations show that all types of logging road/trail in the 14·4 ha Bukit Tarek Experimental Catchment 3 (BTEC3) generate substantial Horton overland flow (HOF) during most storms, regardless of design and level of trafficking. Near‐surface K_s(0–0·05 m) on the main logging road, skid trails and newly constructed logging terraces was less than 1, 2 and 34 mm h^?1, respectively. Near‐surface K_s on an abandoned skid trail in an adjacent basin was higher (62 mm h^?1), owing to the development of a thin organic‐rich layer on the running surface over the past 40 years. Saturated hydraulic conductivity measured at 0·25 m below the surface of all roads was not different (all <6 mm h^?1) and corresponded to the K_s of the adjacent hillslope subsoil, as most roads were excavated into the regolith more than 0·5–1 m. After 40 years, only limited recovery in near‐surface K_s occurred on the abandoned skid trail. This road generated HOF after the storage capacity of the upper near‐surface layer was exceeded during events larger than about 20 mm. Thus, excavation into low‐K_s substrate had a greater influence on the persistence of surface runoff production than did surface compaction by machinery during construction and subsequent use during logging operations. Overland flow on BTEC3 roads was also augmented by the interception of shallow subsurface flow traveling along the soil–saprolite/bedrock interface and return flow emerging from the cutbank through shallow biogenic pipes. The most feasible strategy for reducing long‐term road‐related impacts in BTEC3 is limiting the depth of excavation and designing a more efficient road network, including minimizing the length and connectivity of roads and skid trails.
