Mawson and Mirnyy Stations: the spatiality of the Australian Antarctic Territory, 1954–61     

Christy Collis 《The Australian geographer》2007,38(2):215-231

This article focuses on the spatiality of the Australian Antarctic Territory in the important 1954–61 period. Attending particularly to three key components of polar spatiality—geopolitics, international territorial law, and the built environment—the article analyses the development of the Territory as a unique Australian space. The 1954–61 period is particularly significant: during this period, the International Geophysical Year brought an unprecedented number of people to Antarctica; the continent's first permanent colonies were constructed; and, despite Cold War tensions, the 1961 Antarctic Treaty established the spatial configurations and rules which continue to govern the continent today. The article focuses particularly on two key stations in the Territory constructed during this period: Australia's Mawson Station and the Soviet Mirnyy Station. Mawson is a legal colony, designed to cement Australia's claim to 42 per cent of the Antarctic continent; Mirnyy, in contrast, is an anti-colony, designed to reject Australia's claim. How the individual spatialities of these two stations articulate to the broader politics of Antarctic territoriality—and particularly Australia's claim to the Australian Antarctic Territory—is the focus of this article.  相似文献

文中求解了锋面存在时地转动量近似下的大气边界层运动方程 ,得到了边界层内冷锋流场的一些特征 ,如冷锋坡度随地转涡度增加而增加 ,随地转风速时间倾向的增加而增加 ,随沿锋面传播方向的热成风分量的减少而增加。而边界层内冷锋面上下的流场与锋面坡度、地转风及其时空变化特征有关 ,共同特点是在冷锋面高度以下有下滑运动 ,而其上有一层上滑运动区。  相似文献

稠油出砂冷采技术对地层原油含有溶解气的各类疏松砂岩稠油油藏具有较广泛的适应性，它通过大量砂子的产出和泡沫油的形成，获得较高的原油产量，河南油田于1996年在国内率先开展稠油出砂冷采技术调研及可行性研究，出砂冷采机理及配套工艺技术研究，并于1997年6月进入现场先导试验，矿场试验已展示出明显出砂冷采特征的G4906井，日产油量20t-30t，是常规开采和蒸汽吞吐的10倍和4倍以上，开采成本比蒸汽吞吐降低47%，出砂冷采工业化应用配套技术的形成和应用，将使国内及河南油田稠油资源利用程度进一步提高。  相似文献   

重力流冷锋及其受地形的影响     

肖庆农  伍荣生 《气象学报》1996,54(4):456-465

建立了一个二维非静力平衡模式，通过坐标变换的方法使得模式低层有较高的分辨率。对重力流的模拟结果显示；本模式模拟出的重力流冷锋主要特征，如抬高的头部、头部较强的上升运动以及等位温线密集带与实际大气观测很一致。此外，模式还成功地模拟出了重力流头部后面底层的高速潜流层。应用模拟结果与理论结果对重力流的移动速度进行了对比分析。当考虑地形时，重力流在山前受阻，其头部比不考虑地形时高，且产生了向上游传播的“涌浪”；重力流过山后其头部降低，位温梯度减弱，头部后面的水平速度减小。此外，还对非静力平衡与静力平衡条件下重力流的差异进行了分析讨论。  相似文献   

Cold seep deposits of Beauvoisin (Oxfordian; southeastern France) and Marmorito (Miocene; northern Italy): microbially induced authigenic carbonates   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12

The relation of two well-known ancient carbonate deposits to hydrocarbon seepage was confirmed by this study. Archaea are found to be associated with the formation of Oxfordian seep carbonates from Beauvoisin and with a Miocene limestone from Marmorito ("tube-worm limestone"). Carbonates formed due to a mediation by archaea exhibit extremely positive or extremely negative δ¹³C_carbonate values, respectively. Highly positive values (+15‰) reflect the use of ¹³C-enriched CO₂ produced by methanogenesis. Low δ¹³C values of the Marmorito carbonates (–30‰) indicate the oxidation of seepage-derived hydrocarbons. Likewise, the δ¹³C content of specific tail-to-tail linked isoprenoids, biomarkers for archaea, was found to be strikingly depleted in these samples (as low as –115‰). The isotopic signatures corroborate that archaea were involved in the cycling of seepage-derived organic carbon at the ancient localities. Another Miocene limestone ("Marmorito limestone") shows a strong imprint of methanotrophic bacteria as indicated by δ¹³C values of carbonate as low as –40‰ and biomarker evidence. Epifluorescence microscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that bacterial biofilms were involved in carbonate aggregation. In addition to lucinid bivalves previously reported from both localities, we infer that sponges from Beauvoisin and tube worms from Marmorito depended on chemosynthesis as well. Low δ¹³C values of nodules related to sponge taphonomy (–27‰) indicate that sponges might have been linked to an enhanced hydrocarbon oxidation. Tube worm fossils from Marmorito closely resemble chemosynthetic pogonophoran tube worms from Recent cold seeps and are embedded in isotopically light carbonate (δ¹³C –30‰).

Effects of Temperature and Humidity upon the Entrainment of Sedimentary Particles by Wind   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Cheryl Mckenna Neuman 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2003,108(1):61-89

Aeolian transport of sedimentary particles is a well-recognized phenomenon in cold regions, but the effect of low temperature (T) and specific humidity (q) upon particle entrainment has not previously been investigated. This study reports on wind-tunnel experiments (-12 °C T 32 °C, and 1 g kg^-1 q 10 g kg^-1) that suggest the aerodynamic drag required to entrain sand sized particles can be 30% lower in cold or high latitude settings, as compared to hot deserts. For any given regional wind velocity, this effect will increase the wind strength index and thereby the proportion of time a surface is active at low temperature.The influence of air temperature and humidity upon the threshold for particle motion is determined by three physical processes: (1) The effect of air viscosity and density on the fluid drag force acting to dislodge sedimentary particles; (2) the effect of viscosity on the turbulent wake shed from these particles, and the frequency and magnitude of burst-sweep events; and (3) the development of inter-particle cohesion via adsorbed water. This study considers the relative importance of each of these processes. The threshold friction velocity model of Shao and Lu is revised to incorporate the inter-particle force associated with hygroscopic water. It is found to perform well when tested against the experimental data obtained for this study.  相似文献

In this work,the main characteristics of the Qingdao Cold Water Mass were studied by using“the comparison analysis method”based on 1980 temperature,salinity and dissolved oxygen data on the western South Yellow Sea.The formation cause of the water mass was analyzed based on February of 1959 temperature and salinity data for this area and on some other authors’studies.The results showed that the Qingdao Cold Water Mass has growing and vanishing processes：appears in the last ten days of March;has stable pattern in April;is biggest in its area in May;becomes small in its area in June;vanishes in July.It comes from the northem Shandong Coastal Water and is characterized by low temperature and salinity and high disolved oxygen.The mass is formed under the joint effects of anticyclonic circulation and solar radiation.  相似文献
