Sur la mesure de l'intensité du champ magnétique terrestre et la distribution du magnétisme dans les aimants

The measurement of the horizontal component, H, of the geomagnetic field represents an important part of geomagneticians work from 1830 to the end of the 19th century. This measurement remained difficult at the required accuracy of ${10}^{\mathrm{?9}}\text{T}$ (1 nT or $1\gamma$), till the advent of proton and optical pumping magnetometers in geomagnetic observatories, around 1955. The measurement of H consisted in determining the mutual torque between two cylindrical magnets, by measuring either oscillation periods or angular deviations. Poisson was the first, indisputably, to propose the general principle of the measurement, in 1825. But Gauss, some years later (1832), successfully operated his famous oscillation–deviation method, described since then in all the elementary manuals of physics. The computation of the mutual torque depends on the tri-dimensional distribution of the magnetization in each one of the magnets. In the absence of an accurate-enough knowledge of these distributions, Poisson, Gauss, and their successors showed how to make the computations with a minimum number of hypotheses on them. Nevertheless physicists, in particular French ones, worked on the ‘distribution of magnetism’ in magnets; the first of them was Coulomb. We come back to this question through experiments conducted in the magnetic observatory of Chambon-la-Forêt, France. To cite this article: B. Leprêtre, J.-L. Le Mouël, C. R.

A Raman spectroscopic study of Fe–Mg olivines     

B. A.?Kolesov  C. A.?GeigerEmail author 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2004,31(3):142-154

End-member synthetic fayalite and forsterite and a natural solid-solution crystal of composition (Mg_1.80,Fe_0.20)SiO₄ were investigated using Raman spectroscopy. Polarized single-crystal spectra were measured as a function of temperature. In addition, polycrystalline forsterite and fayalite, isotopically enriched in ²⁶Mg and ⁵⁷Fe, respectively, were synthesized and their powder spectra measured. The high-wavenumber modes in olivine consist of internal SiO₄ vibrations that show little variation upon isotopic substitution. This confirms conclusions from previous spectroscopic studies that showed that the internal SiO₄ vibrations have minimal coupling with the lower-wavenumber lattice modes. The lowest wavenumber modes in both forsterite and fayalite shift in energy following isotopic substitution, but with energies less than that which would be associated with pure Mg and Fe translations. The low-wavenumber Raman modes in olivine are best described as lattice modes consisting to a large degree of mixed vibrations of M(2) cation translations and external vibrations of the SiO₄ tetrahedra. The single-crystal spectra of forsterite and Fo₉₀Fa₁₀ were recorded at a number of temperatures from room temperature to about 1200 °C. From these data the microscopic Grüneisen parameters for three different A_g modes for both compositions were calculated, and also the structural state of the solid solution crystal was investigated. Small discontinuities observed in the wavenumber behavior of a low-energy mixed Mg/T(SiO₄) mode between 700 and 1000 °C may be related to minor variations in the Fe–Mg intracrystalline partitioning state in the Fo₉₀Fa₁₀ crystal, but further spectroscopic work is needed to clarify and quantify this issue. The mode wavenumber and intensity behavior of internal SiO₄ vibrations as a function of temperature are discussed in terms of crystal field and dynamic splitting and also ₁ and ₃ coupling. Crystal-field splitting increases only very slightly with temperature, whereas dynamical-field splitting is temperature dependent. The degree of ₁–₃ coupling decreases with increasing temperature.  相似文献   

Automated system for measuring snow surface energy balance components in mountainous terrain     

Keith A. Sauter  Jeffrey J. McDonnell 《水文研究》1994,8(5):437-446

The ability to continually monitor several meteorological parameters is needed to estimate snow surface energy balance components in mountainous terrain. In remote mountainous locations, limited accessibility and extreme weather conditions limit the use of delicate meteorological instrumentation. Robust instrumentation and radio telemetry are often needed to measure snow surface energy exchanges. This study examined the practicality and effectiveness of robust instrumentation in estimating radiative and turbulent exchanges in the forested Bear River Mountains of northern Utah. Measurement of reflected shortwave radiation was problematic due to possible selective absorption in the infra-red range. This resulted in overestimates of reflected shortwave radiation and decreased estimates of now surface albedo. During high snowfall, the pyranometer and net radiometer were occasionally covered with snow, resulting in inaccurate radiation measurements. Snow typically melted from instrument surfaces in less than one day under full sun. A relative humidity measurement accuracy of ± 4% may have resulted in a possible error of 20% in the calculation of vapour pressure. Snow depth measurement with an acoustical sensor was affected by new or blowing snow, which resulted in inaccurate snow depth measurement 16.2% of the time. The longest period without a valid snow depth measurement was 19.5 hours. A new snow temperature thermocouple ladder was designed and constructed and provided accurate within-pack temperature measurements throughout the pre-melt and melt season.  相似文献   

3D configuration of Mygdonian basin and preliminary estimate of its site response   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

D.G. Raptakis  M.V. Manakou  F.J. Chvez-García  K.A. Makra  K.D. Pitilakis 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2005,25(11):871-887

Euroseistest is currently the longest running test site in the world. It was originally defined as the 2D cross-section of the Mygdonian basin going from Profitis to Stivos villages. In this paper, we present the first results of the effort to extend the idea of test site to a larger portion of the whole sedimentary structure, i.e. the extension of the idea of Euroseistest from a 2D to a 3D structure. To this end we have compiled available geological and geotechnical information. We have analyzed microtremor and earthquake data recorded seven years ago, that had not been thoroughly exploited. We present the results of the analysis of H/V spectral ratios from microtremors recorded at 195 sites, and from earthquake records at 14 stations. The results are validated through comparison with the well studied 2D cross-section. In addition to this, the geometry of the edges of the basin has been deduced from electrical tomographies. The synthesis of all these data allowed us to propose reliable map of dominant frequencies throughout the basin, a good constrain on the geometry of the basin at the edges, and shear-wave velocity profiles at some points. Our results indicate that average shear-wave velocity is not constant throughout, and thus the dominant frequency map is not a faithful image of the geometry of the basin. We have also obtained a reliable estimate of the site response throughout the basin. The results have been used to plan an additional measurement campaign, and are currently used to compute site response using a 3D seismic modelling code. We expect that the usefulness of Euroseistest to understand site effects in 3D geological structures will be as large as it has been in its 2D phase.  相似文献   

Diagnosis and prediction of vibration from railway trains   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

B. Picoux  D. Le Houdec 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2005,25(12):905-921

In the North West of France, more particularly in the region of the Somme Bay, where the ground is constituted mainly of peat, observation of the surface of the soil near railway tracks has revealed high levels of displacement. This paper, contains a prediction model and diagnosis of vibration near the track. A model of a railway track on layered ground subjected to a moving train has been built and the calculation method uses Fourier transform formalism for a semi-analytical solution in the wave number domain. It includes all elements of the track and allows a parametric analysis of its different elements and evaluation of vertical displacement according to the speed, weight and composition of each train. The diagnosis has been performed with in situ measurements and with the aim of the validation of the model. A parameter study of the ground undertaken by seismic measurements shows a critical speed close to 100 m/s while the studied trains are moving with sub-Rayleigh speeds. Measurements give us a lot of information about lateral and vertical acceleration on the soil's surface and parts of the track. For high speeds and freight trains, displacement reaches more than 10 mm.  相似文献

Identification of coccolithophore blooms in the SE Atlantic Ocean off Namibia by satellites and in-situ methods     

H. Siegel  T. Ohde  M. Gerth  G. Lavik  T. Leipe 《Continental Shelf Research》2007

Sporadic occurrences of milky turquoise waters visible in true colour satellite imagery in the Benguela upwelling system off Namibia are characterized by high reflectances due to enhanced scattering properties. Previous opinion was that the features are due to increased reflectances by elemental sulphur (S⁰) resulting from upwelling or eruptions of hydrogen sulphide-enriched waters.  相似文献   

Ionospheric Alfvén Resonator Control over the Frequency-Variable Pc1 Event in Finland on May 14, 1997

The ionospheric Alfvén resonator (IAR) control mechanism over the EMIC wave transmission to the ground is demonstrated on a selected long-term frequency-variable subauroral Pcl event. The proper ionospheric plasma data obtained from EISCAT were accessible in a wide altitude range. Applying the numerical method of simulation of a realistic inhomogeneous IAR, the problem of appearance and disappearance of the ground Pc1 signal record was clarified on the basis of coincidence between the EMIC wave frequency spectrum and the IAR fundamental frequency peak (the frequency window). A shift of the signal source field line to lower latitudes during the development of the disturbance was noticed, and the signal frequency variation on the ground was modelled in the nonstationary IAR. Variation of the IAR altitude structure in the fundamental frequency was illustrated on altitude profiles of the normalized wave magnetic field amplitude in the horizontal and vertical components. Particular conditions of L - and R -wave mode incidence were assumed. The electron density vertical profile of IAR determines the effective resonator dimensions. In this way the IAR fundamental frequency window controls the signal within the ionosphere and on the ground.  相似文献

A novel technique for studying diffusion of contaminants in fine-grained soils     

《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2013,8(3):199-209

Diffusion is one of the predominant contaminant transport mechanisms in fine-grained soils. Usually, conventional methods such as half-cell and column tests are adopted for establishing diffusion characteristics of such soils. However, these techniques are destructive in nature, quite time-consuming, and require cumbersome chemical analysis of the soil and its pore-solution. Hence, development of a technique that would overcome these limitations and would yield precise results, in extremely short duration, becomes essential. With this in view, a modified Perspex diffusion cell with provision for inserting a series of stainless steel electrodes has been fabricated to monitor the diffusive contaminant transport, indirectly, based on the variation of electrical impedance of the soil. An LCR meter is employed to measure the electrical impedance of the soil across each electrode over a period. Further, the electrical impedance variation is indirectly correlated to the diffusion of contaminants that occurs in the soil. Details of the study and the test setup developed for this purpose are presented in this paper. It has been demonstrated that the technique based on electrical impedance measurement is quite useful and efficient for establishing diffusion characteristics of the fine-grained soil.  相似文献
