Steady Response of a Ventilated Thermocline to Enhanced Ekman Pumping     

Atsushi Kubokawa  Shang-Ping Xie 《Journal of Oceanography》2002,58(4):565-575

The steady response of the ventilated thermocline to an increase in Ekman pumping is investigated, focusing on the effect of the mixed layer depth distribution on the subsurface density anomaly. We consider only the subtropical gyre, and the mixed layer is assumed to be deep in the northwest and shallow elsewhere with a narrow transition zone separating the deep and shallow mixed layer regions. At the intersection of this narrow transition zone and the outcrop line, low potential vorticity fluid is subducted into and ventilates the thermocline. In such a situation, an enhancement of the Ekman pumping confined to the northern subtropical gyre leads to pronounced subsurface cold anomalies in the southern subtropics, which is free of anomalous forcing. These density anomalies are much greater than those that occur when either the mixed layer depth is zonally uniform or the Ekman pumping is enhanced in the whole subtropical gyre. They are caused by anomalous changes in the trajectory of the low potential vorticity fluid in response to anomalous Sverdrup flow. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Wave-induced porewater pressure in a seabed with inhomogeneous permeability     

Toshikazu Kitano  Hajime Mase 《Ocean Engineering》2001,28(3)

We have developed an analytical treatment for the wave-induced response of a seabed with inhomogeneous permeability, by employing the boundary layer approximation. By assuming an exponential function for vertically distributed permeability, the inhomogeneous consolidation equation was formulated as Bessel's differential equation. Subsequently, we proposed some representative quantities for examining the effects of inhomogeneity of permeability. The main effects of inhomogeneity are that the boundary layer becomes thinner and the phase delay in the direction of depth becomes larger as the inhomogeneity becomes significant. In addition, it was shown that the boundary layer is properly evaluated by using the averaged permeability.  相似文献

本文根据滇西地区18个大地电磁测深点资料的数据处理和分析结果,对测区深部导电率在纵、横向上的变化特征进行了研究。结果表明:滇西地区深部电性为多层结构,大致可分四至五个电性结构层;深部电性结构横向变化大,明显受区域构造控制;该区上部地壳内普遍存在低阻层;上地幔高导层明显存在两个隆起区,一个以剑川—鹤庆为中心呈北北西向展布的隆起区,另一个以腾冲—潞西为轴呈南北向展布的隆起区。 本文还讨论了地壳上地幔电性结构与大地构造的关系,滇西北裂陷区盆地的形成,以及该区地震活动与深部构造的关系  相似文献

大庆长垣外围有3×108t特低渗透的扶杨油层储量在注水开发条件下难以有效动用,为提高这部分储量的有效动用率,开展了CO2非混相驱油试验研究。PVT测试结果表明,扶杨油层原油较稠,体积系数小,膨胀性和收缩性小,溶解系数较低;CO2驱油细管实验最小混相压力为29 MPa,比原始地层压力高8.6 MPa,现场试验为非混相驱;长岩心实验CO2驱油采收率比注水高4~6个百分点。综合室内可行性评价实验结果看,大庆长垣外围扶杨油层开展CO2驱油试验是可行的,并于2003年初在宋芳屯油田南部开辟了注气试验区,有注气井1口,采出井5口。矿场试验结果表明,CO2驱油能够使特低渗透、裂缝不发育的扶杨油层建立起有效驱动体系,从根本上改善其开发效果,该技术有望成为特低渗透扶杨油层有效动用的可行技术。  相似文献

分析了直流电测深法(VES)与中心回线瞬变电磁法(TEM)对地层的响应特征,结果显示:TEM对低阻层反应灵敏,而VES对高阻层具有较高的分辨能力。基于TEM与VES对地层响应特征互补的特点,尝试将TEM与VES数据进行联合反演,模型试算结果表明,联合反演的效果明显比单一方法反演的效果好。  相似文献

三峡库区巫山县望霞乡廖家坪高陡斜坡失稳机制研究     

黄波林  刘广宁  彭轩明 《华南地质与矿产》2008,(4):49-55

廖家坪高陡斜坡详细勘查结果表明廖家坪坡体上分布有7层软弱层,发育有两组高倾角节理,相互垂直,形成众多危岩体岩柱。上部软弱层为蠕滑层,悬崖壁存在的众多危岩体及岩柱以软弱层为基底。根据平推式滑坡的变形失稳机理分析,计算其起动临界水头高度,认为该斜坡上部坡体平推式滑动的可能性较小。根据工程地质类比法认为由于基础风化压缩,也可造成硬岩拉张,形成次生倾倒破坏;采用离散元分析验证了廖家坪高陡斜坡倾倒破坏演化过程,模拟结果与野外调查的变形破坏现象完全一致,表明该高陡斜坡的变形破坏机制为倾倒失稳模式。这一破坏模式的判定为廖家坪高陡斜坡的稳定性分析和防治提供了重要依据。  相似文献   

Redefining active volcanoes: a discussion   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Alexandru Szakács 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1994,56(5):321-325

The analysis of the current definitions of active volcanoes indicates that they are empirical, conventional, inaccurate, nongeological, and arbitrarily constraining. Redefinition is therefore needed. One possible approach is to refine the current empirical definitions. A statistically reasonable and practical redefinition using a geologically based time convention-Holocene or 10000 years-is suggested. A set of time conditions according to volcano typology-i.e. 1000; 10000 and 100000 years for high-frequency basaltic shields, andesitic-dacitic composite volcanoes and low-frequency large silicic calderas, respectively-as further refinement of the empirical definition is also envisaged. Devising a phenomenological definition as a theoretical approach is another possibility, but in practice extant diagnostic means are still unsatisfactory to discriminate accurately between dormant and extinct volcanoes. As a consequence of the redefinition, a classification of volcanoes according to their eruptive status is proposed. Redefinition of active volcanoes might increase accuracy in the usage of basic terms in volcanology and influence volcanic hazard assessment and risk mitigation projects.  相似文献

利用2017年6—8月的FNL再分析资料分析了新疆地区夏季平流层低层风场的时空演变特征，开展了平流层低层风场的高分辨率数值模拟和检验。结果表明：新疆地区夏季平流层纬向风随时间的变化存在经向差异，同时准零风层开始和结束的时间也存在经向差异，准零风层开始时间南部地区早于北部地区，而准零风层结束时间则相反。整个夏季新疆地区上空的准零风层处于70～40 hPa之间，其高度随时间呈先降低而后升高的变化趋势。准零风层数值模拟结果表明，模拟的准零风层参数与探空资料分析结果相比二者存在一致的变化趋势，准零风层起始高度的平均绝对误差为467 m，该高度对应的风速均方根误差为1.75 m/s。  相似文献
