Holocene vertical deformation along the coastal sector of Mt. Etna volcano (eastern Sicily,Italy): Implications on the time–space constrains of the volcano lateral sliding     

《Journal of Geodynamics》2014

A detailed survey of morphological and biological markers of paleo-shorelines has been carried out along the coastal sector of Mt. Etna volcano (eastern Sicily, Italy), in order to better define causes and timing of vertical deformation. We have mapped markers of raised Holocene shorelines, which are represented by beach rocks, wave-cut platforms, balanid, vermetid and algal rims. The timing of coastal uplift has been determined by radiocarbon dating of shells collected from the raised paleo-shorelines and, to correctly assess the total amount of tectonic uplift of the coast during the Late Holocene, we have compared the elevation-age data of sampled shells to the local curve of Holocene sea-level rise. Taking into account the nominal elevation of the associated paleo-shorelines, an uplift rate of 2.5–3.0 mm/year has been estimated for the last 6–7 ka. This general process of uplifting is only locally interrupted by subsidence related to flank sliding of the volcanic edifice, measured at docks and other manmade structures, and by acceleration along the hinge of an active anticline and at the footwall of an active fault. Based on this new data we suggest more precise time–space constraints for the dynamics of the lower eastern flank of Mt. Etna volcano.  相似文献   

Huygens probe entry dynamic model and accelerometer data analysis     

Giacomo Colombatti  Alessio Aboudan  Francesca Ferri  Francesco Angrilli 《Planetary and Space Science》2008,56(5):601-612

During the first phase of Huygens arrival into Titan's atmosphere the probe is subjected to gravitational and aerodynamic forces in aerodynamic hypersonic regime. Atmospheric drag exerts a strong deceleration on the capsule measured by Huygens atmospheric structure instrument (HASI) servo accelerometer. A 6 DOF (Degree of Freedom) model of the Huygens probe entry dynamics has been developed and used for data analysis. The accelerometer data are analysed and the model allows the retrieval of dynamics information of Huygens probe from 1545 km altitude down to end of the entry phase. Probe's initial conditions (velocity and position) were refined to match the measured deceleration profile resulting in a different altitude at interface epoch with respect to those of the Cassini Navigation Team. Velocity and position of probe at interface epoch are compatible with those used by Descent Trajectory Working Group (DTWG).Measurements acquired before atmosphere detection are used to estimate probe's angular rate, bound attitude and characterise the angle of attack profile which results to be lower than 4^° during the whole entry. Probe's spin calculated (6.98 RPM) is slightly different with respect to DTWG of 7.28 RPM but considering a 2% error in the Inertia matrix these results are inside the 1-σ error band.  相似文献   

华南暴雨中尺度对流系统的形成及湿位涡分析   总被引：48，自引：11，他引：37

利用MM5模式对发生在1998年5月23～24日华南暴雨和中尺度对流系统(Mesoscale Convective System,简称MCS)模拟的模式输出资料,根据湿位涡守恒原理和倾斜涡度发展理论分析了暴雨和MCS形成和发展的原因.结果表明,暴雨和MCS发生在倾斜湿等熵面具有弱对流稳定性的下陷区,沿湿等熵面下滑的冷空气与倾斜上升并具有较强对流有效位能的暖湿空气在下陷区会合的过程中经历了对流稳定性减小的过程,导致暴雨和MCS发生发展区域有气旋性的涡旋发展.对流发展区域的上空满足条件对称不稳定发生的条件,MCS中上升气流呈倾斜状态.由于湿等熵面倾斜,在暴雨和MCS的发展过程中,水平风垂直切变和湿斜压度的增大也有利于涡旋的发展,使暴雨和MCS得以维持.最后,给出了华南地区湿等熵面上暴雨和MCS发生发展的一个物理概念模型.  相似文献

本文将夏季气候平均的基本气流分解为正压和斜压分量,使用一个线性斜压模式,研究了不同斜压基本气流对热带西北太平洋地区初始气旋性环流扰动低频发展演变的重要作用.其中,控制试验较好地模拟出初始气旋扰动向西北方向传播、在西北太平洋季风槽附近停滞增强、在东亚地区出现经向波列和在南海到海洋大陆地区形成西北—东南向波列等特征.改变斜压分量的敏感性试验结果表明,正压基流不能为西传的初始扰动供给足够的能量;海陆热力差异引起东亚地区的纬向温度梯度和北风垂直切变,是东亚太平洋型经向波列形成和维持的重要因素;当基本气流中的斜压纬向偏差部分线性增大时,扰动的能量会呈e指数迅速增强,提示在气候变化的背景下,基本气流微小的改变可能带来天气或季节内扰动强度的剧烈响应.  相似文献

本文利用分层(磁层、电离层、大气层)模型,分析了电离层电导率以及磁场方向对电离层Alfven谐振(简称IAR)反馈不稳定性的影响.结果表明:倾斜磁场可以有效改变IAR的参数(谐振频率与增长率),进而改变IAR反馈不稳定性的性能,磁场方向向上时,在电离层电导率较大且不考虑Hall电导率的情况下,磁场倾斜角的减小有利于电离层不稳定性的形成,电离层Hall电导率可以增大IAR反馈不稳定性的增长率,且对于较大的倾角增长率提升较大.  相似文献   

Seismic collapse capacity of basic inelastic structures vulnerable to the P‐delta effect     

Christoph Adam  Clemens Jäger 《地震工程与结构动力学》2012,41(4):775-793

The collapse capacity of earthquake‐excited inelastic nondeteriorating SDOF systems, which are vulnerable to the destabilizing effect of gravity loads (P‐delta effect), is evaluated. In this paper, the collapse capacity of the system subjected to a ground motion is defined as spectral acceleration at its initial structural period, at which the structure becomes unstable. Characteristic structural parameters, which affect the collapse capacity, are identified. Ground motion records of the ATC 63 far‐field set characterize severe earthquake excitation. In extensive incremental dynamic analyses studies, the impact of these parameters and of aleatory uncertainties on the collapse capacity is assessed and quantified. Median and percentile collapse capacities are plotted against the initial structural period leading to collapse capacity spectra. Nonlinear regression analyses are applied to derive analytical expressions of the design collapse capacity spectra and collapse fragility curves. The ultimate objective is to provide collapse capacity spectra for easy application and yet sufficient accurate assessment of the dynamic stability of flexible multistory buildings.

凝结加热条件下垂直切变基本流中的混合波不稳定研究     

安洁  张铭  齐琳琳 《热带气象学报》2013,29(4):616-624

在实际大气中凝结加热对中尺度系统的发展起着重要作用,通过数值计算方法研究了扰动的波谱和谱函数,重点讨论在凝结加热条件下扰动不稳定的性质及特征。研究结果表明:考虑凝结加热时,在相同垂直切变条件下,随着波长的减小,不稳定增长率增大,即加热放宽了不稳定出现的条件,且尺度越小的扰动,对不稳定的条件要求越低。当Nse2 <0时,在大尺度和中α尺度波段,风切变有利于不稳定的发展,由风切变造成的动力学不稳定是主要的,而凝结加热造成的热力学不稳定处于次要地位;而在中β尺度波段,风切变则抑制不稳定发展,此时凝结加热造成的热力学不稳定处于主要地位。   相似文献
