ON BROADENING MECHANISMS OF THE Ca  XIX RESONANCE LINE IN SOLAR FLARES     

W.Q. Gan  Y.P. Li 《Solar physics》2002,205(1):117-121

There are two explanations for the broadening mechanisms of the Caxix resonance line in the rising phase of a solar flare. One is due to the velocity dispersion of the chromospheric evaporation along the loop; the other is due to the non-thermal turbulence resulting from the flare energy release. In this paper we distinguish between these two possibilities by studying the influence of the loop orientation on the broadening of the Caxix resonance line, based on the data observed with SXT and BCS on Yohkoh. The results seem to support that the broadening of the Caxix resonance line is caused by non-thermal turbulence, rather than by the velocity dispersion.  相似文献   

The Generating Region of Bidirectional Electron Beams in the Corona   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Xie  R.X.  Fu  Q.J.  Wang  M.  Liu  Y.Y. 《Solar physics》2000,197(2):375-385

Metric and decimetric type III bursts and microwave spike emissions with negative and positive frequency drift rates which were observed with radio spectrometers at Yunnan and Beijing Observatories are presented. The frequencies and heights at which the bidirectional electron beams originated are estimated. Three events reveal a separatrix frequency (at 250, 1300, and 2900 MHz) between normal- and reverse-drifting radio bursts, indicating a compact acceleration source where electron beams are injected in both upward and downward directions. These cases may indicate that the changeover frequencies of bidirectional electron beams are within a large band from 250 to 2900 MHz and the frequency bands of separatrices are in very small (4 to 100 MHz) and different bands. These type III bursts appear to be a plasma emission phenomenon from a beam of electrons which seem to have widely separated acceleration regions from the high to the low corona. These cases suggest that current sheets that separate open and closed magnetic fluxes in the low corona, and oppositely directed open field lines in the high corona are possible sites for bidirectional electron acceleration. The regions of magnetic topology from closed to open magnetic field structures should be very large (from about 20000 to 107000 km above the photosphere).  相似文献   

Statistical features of aftershock distribution size for moderate and large earthquakes in Chinese mainland   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Based on data of earthquake sequences with MS≥5.0 in Chinese mainland from 1970 to 2004,for different se-quence types and different rupture modes of the main shock,the relationship between aftershock distribution size Rand the magnitude of the main shock M0 has been studied statistically.Considering the rupture mode of the mainshock,we give the quantitative statistical relationships between R and M0 under 95%confidence level for differentsequence types.Qualitatively,lgR,the logarithm of the aftershock distribution size,is positively correlative to theM0,but the data distribution is dispersed.Viewing from different sequence types,the correlation between R and M0is very weak for isolated earthquake type(IET)sequence,R distributes in the range from 5 to 60 km;For main-shock-aftershock type(MAT),lgR is positively correlative to M0;For multiple main shock type(MMT),the core-lation between lgR and M0 is not very obvious when M0≤6.2 and R distributes in the range from 5 to 70 km,whileit shows a linear correlation when M0≥6.3.The statistical results also show that the occupational ratios of differentsequence types for strike-slip and oblique slip are almost the same.But for dip-slip(mostly are thrust mechanisms),the ratio of MAT is higher than that of IET and MMT.Comparing with previous results,it indicates that,when M0is large enough,R is mainly determined by M0 and there is almost no relationship with the rupture mode of themain shock.  相似文献   

Coregistration Based on Three Parts of Two Complex Images and Contoured Windows for Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Yu  Q. Fu  S. Mayer  H. Liu  X. Yang  X. 《Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, IEEE》2007,4(2):288-292

The coregistration of complex image pairs is a very important step in synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) data processing. This letter proposes a novel coregistration method that only needs three arbitrary parts of the two complex images instead of four parts in the existing coregistration methods. This method constitutes an integrated three-part method for InSAR data processing with our contoured-correlation-interferometry method for phase-image generation. Saving one part transmission makes a significant advantage when processing SAR images on satellites. Furthermore, we demonstrate that, by means of using fringe contoured windows instead of squared windows, the accuracy of the coregistration for both the three-part coregistration method and the existing methods can be improved considerably  相似文献   

Variation on PAR to global solar radiation ratio along altitude gradient in Naeba Mountain     

Q. Wang  Y. Kakubari  M. Kubota  J. Tenhunen 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2007,87(1-4):239-253

Summary We investigated the ratio of photosynthetically active photon flux (Q _p ) to global solar radiation (R _s ) at three sites along different altitudes in Naeba Mountain, Japan at various temporal scales based on 3 years measurement data (1999–2001). The lowest values of the ratio ever reported were found for all sites on both an hourly and a daily scale. A similar slight diurnal pattern was found for all sites based on the monthly mean hourly values of the ratio. However, different sites exhibited different seasonal courses. Statistically significant altitude dependencies were found for the hourly Q _p /R _s under both clear and cloudy weather conditions (t-test, P < 0.001). For clear weather conditions, the hourly Q _p /R _s exhibited an increasing trend with altitude at an average rate of 3.6% per km. The increasing rate was more noticeable below 900 m (8.8% per km) than above (0.7% per km). The inverse trend was found for hourly Q _p /R _s with the altitude under cloudy weather conditions. The hourly Q _p /R _s decreased from 550 m to 1500 m at a rate of 1.8% per km. Again, a major decrease occurred below 900 m, which had the rate of 4.2% per km, compared with 0.2% per km over 900 m. Although the same tendencies were noted for daily Q _p /R _s , under clear sky conditions, they were not as statistically significant as the hourly counterpart (t-test, P < 0.021). The increasing rate of Q _p /R _s at this scale under clear weather conditions was near that of the hourly rate, but below the 900 m rate was reduced to near half of the hourly rate (4.7% per km). And the rate over 900 m increased to 2.7% per km. On the other hand, statistically significant altitude effect was noted for the daily under cloudy weather conditions (t-test, P < 0.002). A rapidly decreasing rate was found for it along the altitude gradient. The reason was due to the large decreasing rate below 900 m (12.4% per km). But again similar to the hourly Q _p /R _s , a very small decreasing rate of daily Q _p /R _s was found over 900 m under cloudy weather conditions. These results suggest the necessity of considering the altitude dependency of Q _p /R _s in future studies.  相似文献   

Robust biased estimation and its applications in geodetic adjustments   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

Q. Gui  J. Zhang 《Journal of Geodesy》1998,72(7-8):430-435

In this paper, a number of robust biased estimators (e.g. ordinary robust ridge estimator, robust principal components estimator, robust combined principal components estimator, robust single-parametric principal components estimator, robust root-root estimator) are established by means of a unified expression of biased estimators and based on the principle of equivalent weight. The most attractive advantage of these new estimators is that they can not only overcome the ill-conditioning of the normal equation but also have the ability to resist outliers. A numerical example is used to illustrate that these new estimators are much better than the least-squares estimator and various biased estimators even when both ill-conditioning and outliers exist.

Effects of horizontal drains on slope stability under rainfall by three-dimensional finite element analysis   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

F. Cai  K. Ugai  A. Wakai  Q. Li 《Computers and Geotechnics》1998,23(4):255-275

The effects of the horizontal drains on the ground water level during rainfall are predicted using a three-dimensional finite element analyses of transient water flow through unsaturated–saturated soils. The slope stability is evaluated by the global safety factor, based on the three-dimensional elasto-plastic shear strength reduction finite element method. The following conclusions are obtained: (1) the horizontal drains can effectively lower the ground water level and increase the slope stability under rainfall, but the rate of the increase in the safety factor becomes smaller and smaller when the drains is extended beyond a critical length; (2) lengthening the horizontal drains is more effective than making the spacing smaller and increasing the number of the drains in a group in order to lower the ground water level and increase the slope stability; (3) the effects of the drains are mainly influenced by the ratio of the rainfall intensity to the saturated hydraulic conductivity. ©  相似文献   

Structural control of the morphometry of open rock basins, Kananaskis region, Canadian Rocky Mountains     

D. J. Sauchyn  D. M. Cruden  X. Q. Hu   《Geomorphology》1998,22(3-4)

The morphometry of chutes (couloirs), rock funnels, and open cirques are related to the structure of dissected rock masses in the Kananaskis region of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Data for ten morphometric variables were derived from digital elevation models of 56 open rock basins. The basins were classified structurally according to the relative orientations of bedding planes and the rock slopes. A hypothesis of no differences in morphometry among structural classes is rejected from the results of nonparametric analysis of variance and paired comparisons of rank scores. Basins on dip and overdip slopes have a distinct size, and those on anaclinal slopes have a distinct width and shape. Variation in morphometry from low compactness and area/relief (chutes) to high compactness and low area/relief (funnels) to high compactness and area/relief (open cirques) corresponds to a change in dominant structure from orthoclinal to dip-overdip to underdip to anaclinal. The dip of bedding planes relative to the slope of rockwalls controls the mode of initial displacement of joint blocks and, thereby, the spatial distribution of the retreat of rockwalls. The angle between the rock slope and the strike of dipping strata determines whether beds of differing stability form chutes and buttresses (orthoclinal slopes), or extend across rockwalls (cataclinal and anaclinal slopes) and retreat at similar rates to form funnels and open cirques. The optimal structure for large compact rock basins is anaclinal, and the least favourable is cataclinal dip-overdip slopes. Topoclimate and other geologic structures may account for variance in morphometry not explained by differences among structural classes.  相似文献   

Application of the DDM and fracture mechanics model on the simulation of rock breakage by mechanical tools   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

X.C. Tan  S.Q. Kou  P.-A. Lindqvist 《Engineering Geology》1998,49(3-4):277-284

A DDM (displacement discontinuity method) program coupled with a modified energy criterion is used to simulate the development of cracks and chips by indentation tools. In our analysis a cavity model is applied to represent the expansion of crushed rock to the surrounding rock and the cracks are formedin two-dimensional and quasi-static conditions. The model parameters, rock properties and load magnitudes are varied in the numerical calculations. The results show that chips are formed by multiple mechanisms of either tension or shear, or their combinations. The cracks may either propagate to the free surface to form chips or rest in the rock subsurface. The crack development is dependent upon rock and fracture properties, loading force and tool characteristics. The DDM is a convenient tool in the study of rock fragmentation and cracks.  相似文献
