The spectrophotometric method for computing the apparent stellar diameters, proposed by Chalonge and Divan (1950) and modified by Fracassini and Pasinetti (1967) has been applied to 172 B5V-A5V stars (single and belonging to galactic clusters) of the Catalogue of Geneva Observatory (Rufener, 1971). In the straight line diagrams log vsm, drawn for the stars of the same spectral type, it is possible to identify some peculiar stars (with peculiarities in the diameter or monochromatic brightness). The agreement with the values of the apparent diameters of Leo, Ori, Lyr and CMa, obtained by Hanbury Brownet al. (1967), is very good. The comparison with the diagramss _v vs (B-V)₀,R vs (B-V)₀ deduced by Wesselink (1969), seems satisfactory. The comparison with the results obtained by other authors and the great number of stars which will be observed in the photometric system in seven colors of Geneva, demonstrate the wide possibilities of this spectrophotometric method for determining the apparent stellar diameters.

Sommario Il metodo spettrofotometrico di Chalonge e Divan (1950) per il calcolo dei diametri stellari apparenti, modificato da Fracassini e Pasinetti (1967), è stato applicato a 172 stelle B5V-A5V (isolate e in ammassi galattici) del Catalogo dell'Osservatorio di Ginevra (Rufener, 1971). Costruiti i diagrammi lineari log -m _v per i vari gruppi di stelle dello stesso tipo spettrale, è possibile identificare alcune stelle peculiari con diametri e brillanze monochromatiche anomale. Il confronto con i diametti apparenti di Leo, Ori, Lyr e CMa determinati da Hanbury Brownet al. (1967) mostra un accordo molto buono. Il confronto con le relazionis _v -(B-V)₀eR-(B-V) ₀ ottenute da Wesselink (1969) appare soddisfacente. Il confronto con i risultati ottenuti da altri autori e il grande numero di stelle che saranno osservate nel sistema fotometrico in sette colori di Ginevra, dimostrano le ampie possibilità di questo metodo spettrofotometrico per la determinazione dei diametri stellari apparenti.

Dynamics of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> fluxes and concentrations during a shallow subsurface CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> release

A field facility located in Bozeman, Montana provides the opportunity to test methods to detect, locate, and quantify potential CO₂ leakage from geologic storage sites. From 9 July to 7 August 2008, 0.3 t CO₂ day⁻¹ were injected from a 100-m long, ~2.5-m deep horizontal well. Repeated measurements of soil CO₂ fluxes on a grid characterized the spatio-temporal evolution of the surface leakage signal and quantified the surface leakage rate. Infrared CO₂ concentration sensors installed in the soil at 30 cm depth at 0–10 m from the well and at 4 cm above the ground at 0 and 5 m from the well recorded surface breakthrough of CO₂ leakage and migration of CO₂ leakage through the soil. Temporal variations in CO₂ concentrations were correlated with atmospheric and soil temperature, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, and CO₂ injection rate.  相似文献   

Multi-spectral imaging of vegetation for detecting CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> leaking from underground     

Joshua H. Rouse  Joseph A. Shaw  Rick L. Lawrence  Jennifer L. Lewicki  Laura M. Dobeck  Kevin S. Repasky  Lee H. Spangler 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2010,60(2):313-323

Practical geologic CO₂ sequestration will require long-term monitoring for detection of possible leakage back into the atmosphere. One potential monitoring method is multi-spectral imaging of vegetation reflectance to detect leakage through CO₂-induced plant stress. A multi-spectral imaging system was used to simultaneously record green, red, and near-infrared (NIR) images with a real-time reflectance calibration from a 3-m tall platform, viewing vegetation near shallow subsurface CO₂ releases during summers 2007 and 2008 at the Zero Emissions Research and Technology field site in Bozeman, Montana. Regression analysis of the band reflectances and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index with time shows significant correlation with distance from the CO₂ well, indicating the viability of this method to monitor for CO₂ leakage. The 2007 data show rapid plant vigor degradation at high CO₂ levels next to the well and slight nourishment at lower, but above-background CO₂ concentrations. Results from the second year also show that the stress response of vegetation is strongly linked to the CO₂ sink–source relationship and vegetation density. The data also show short-term effects of rain and hail. The real-time calibrated imaging system successfully obtained data in an autonomous mode during all sky and daytime illumination conditions.  相似文献
