Ocean models depend strongly on surface fluxes. When computed from atmospheric models, fluxes are affected by spin-up, i.e. they increase (or decrease) with forecast length. Such behavior may bias ocean models. The European Centre for Medium Range Forecasts (ECMWF) 40-year re-analysis (ERA-40) has been used to quantify short-range spin-ups of radiative and turbulent heat fluxes. Fluxes are compared as differences between two runs with the same initialization time. This method allows flux analysis over short-range forecasts as a function of distance from the initialization time. Results indicate that (i) latent heat flux spin-up increases with time but levels off after 24 h; (ii) sensible and radiative flux spin-ups remain constant after 6 h; (iii) regional spin-up of turbulent fluxes are systematic and can be larger than 30% for sensible heat but never exceeds 15% for latent heat; (iv) spin-up depends upon the season. The same analysis has been carried out with the ECMWF 15-year re-analysis (ERA-15); spin-ups in ERA-40 have been generally smaller than those in ERA-15.  相似文献

Large Aperture Scintillometer Used Over A Homogeneous Irrigated Area, Partly Affected By Regional Advection   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Scintillometer measurements were collected over an irrigated wheat field ina semi-arid region in northwest Mexico. Conditions were unstable in the morning andstable during the afternoon, while latent heat fluxes remained high throughout the day.Regional advection was observed during near-neutral conditions. Monin–Obukhovsimilarity relationships for the structure parameter of temperature were verified in both unstable and stable conditions, but were violated close to near-neutral conditions. We found that, using additional measurements of radiation, soil heat flux and windspeed, areally averages of both sensible and latent heat fluxes can be reliably predicted by large aperture scintillometer measurements, as long as the net radiation is greater than zero.  相似文献

在2001年秋季对贵州省荔波县茂兰国家喀斯特森林公园林地、草地植被下土壤CO₂呼吸释放及岩溶表层泉水HCO₃及其^δ13C值的变化进行了日动态的野外监测,表明岩溶系统中土-气-水界面间存在着碳交换的日动态变化以及所伴随的同位素交换的变化,这种变化与土温的日动态有密切的关系。林地植被显示了平抑这种日动态幅度的效应,而草地植被则显示响应于温度变化的较灵敏的动态变化。这种短尺度的变化构成了表层岩溶系统对外界条件的灵敏响应,进一步揭示了在生物作用下岩溶地质作用在碳循环过程及其同位素交换上的灵敏性和动态性。其不同植被系统下的日动态差异在解释岩溶沉积记录和讨论岩溶作用与碳循环时值得充分注意  相似文献   

VELOCITY AND SUSPENSION CONCENTRATION IN SEDIMENT-MIXED FLUID

1 INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW Numerous investigations related to vertical velocity and suspension concentration distributions have been undertaken to the steady, uniform, open channel turbulent flow. The problems of sediment mixed water flows are of direct interest to the practical situations in the field of river sedimentation, coastalsediment transport and in the field of two-phase flow in particular. In hydraulic open channel flow, the vertical velocity profile is usually described by…  相似文献   

Humidity effects on gravitational settling and Brownian diffusion of atmospheric aerosol particles     

Gottfried Hänel 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1977,115(4):775-797

The dependency on relative humidity of the settling velocity of aerosol particles in stagnant air and of the diffusion coefficient due to Brownian motion of aerosol particles was computed for six aerosol types and different particles sizes in dry state. The computations are based (1) on mean bulk densities of dry aerosol particles obtained from measurements or from the knowledge of the chemical composition of the particles, (2) on micro-balance measurements of the water uptake per unit mass of dry aerosol substance versus water activity at thermodynamic equilibrium, and (3) on measurements of the equilibrium water activity of aqueous sea salt solutions. The results show a significant dependence of the settling velocity and Brownian diffusion of aerosol particles on relative humidity and on the particle's chemical composition.Nomenclature A surface parameter of a particle - B surface parameter of a particle - c _L velocity of sound in moist air - C 1+Kn[A+Qexp(–B/Kn]=slip correction - D diffusion coefficient of a particle - D ₁ D(=1)=diffusion coefficient of a spherical particle - f P _w /P _we (T,P)=relative humidity (f=0 dry air,f=1 saturated air) - g acceleration due to gravity - g |g| - k 1.3804×10^–16 erg/°K=Boltzmann constant - Kn _L /r=Knudsen number of a particle - Kn _{0 0L} /r ₀=Knudsen number of a dry particle - m 4r ³/3=mass of a particle - m _L 4r ³ _L /3=mass of the moist air displaced by a particle - M mobility of a particle - M ₀ molar mass of dry air - M _w molar mass of water - Ma |u–u _L |/c _L =Mach number of the particles motion relative to the ambient air - n particle number per unit volume of air - P P ₀+P _w =pressure of the moist air - P ₀ partial pressure of the dry air - P _w partial pressure of the water vapour - P _we P _we (T,P)=equilibrium partial water vapour pressure over a plane surface of water saturated with air - Q surface parameter of a particle - r equivalent radius of a particle (radius of a sphere with the particles volume) - r ₀ equivalent radius of a particle in dry state - R 1+0.13Re ^0.85=inertia correction - R ₀ specific gas constant of dry air - R _w specific gas constant of water - Re 2r _L u–u _L / _L =Reynolds number of the particles motion relative to the ambient air - t time - T absolute temperature - u velocity of a particle - u (amount of the) settling velocity of a particle in stagnant air - u ₁ u(=1)=(amount of the) settling velocity of a spherical particle in stagnant air - u _L velocity of the ambient moist air (far enough from the particle where the flow pattern remains undistorted) - W drag coefficient of a particles equivalent sphere - empirical parameter in equation (3.1) - dynamic viscosity of a particles liquid cover - _L dynamic viscosity of moist air - _0L dynamic viscosity of dry air (at the same pressure and temperature like the moist air) - celsius temperature - dynamic shape factor of a particle (=1 for a sphere) - ₀ dynamic shape factor of a dry particle - _L mean free path of the molecules in moist air - _0L mean free path of the molecules in dry air (at the same pressure and temperature like the moist air) - _Po mean free path of the molecules in dry air at the pressureP ₀ of the dry air and the temperature given - factor of solid to liquid change-over (=1 for a solid particle) - mean bulk density of a particle - _L density of the moist air - _0L density of the dry air at the same pressure and temperature like the moist air - ₀ mean bulk density of a dry particle - ₀ mean diameter of the molecules of dry air - _w diameter of water molecules - relaxation time of a particle - gradient operation - 3.141593  相似文献   

Settling velocities and entrainment thresholds of biogenic sands (shell fragments) under unidirectional flow   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

D. Paphitis  M. B. Collins  L. A. Nash†  & S. Wallbridge‡ 《Sedimentology》2002,49(1):211-225

Settling velocities and entrainment thresholds of biogenic sedimentary particles, under unidirectional flow conditions, are derived on the basis of settling tower and laboratory flume experiments. Material consisting predominantly of equant blocks (shell fragments of Cerastoderma edule , density, ρ _s=2800 kg m⁻³) or of mica-like flakes and elongate rods ( Mytilus edulis fragments, ρ _s=2720 kg m⁻³) are used in separate series of experiments. Differences in the measured settling and threshold properties are related primarily to particle shape. The selection of a characteristic length scale for non-spherical grains is investigated by comparing two approaches used to define the grain size ( D ) of the sediment samples: grain settling and sieve analysis that are used to derive data for the threshold criteria, in terms of the Shields and Movability diagrams. The empirical curves effectively predict the threshold conditions for any grain shape, provided that grain size is defined in terms of grain settling velocity. However, a functional distinction is made between the characteristic `hydraulic' grain size, defined by grain settling for grain transport applications, and the actual (physical) grain size defined by sieve analysis.  相似文献

On the basis of snow data and AWS (Automatic Weather Station) data obtained from the Tibetan Plateau in recent years (1993 to 1999), the features of sensible heat, latent heat and net long-wave radiations are estimated, and their variations in more-snow year (1997/1998) and less-snow year (1996/1997) are analyzed comparatively. The relationships between snow cover of the Tibetan Plateau and plateau＇s surface heating to the atmospheric heating are also discussed. The difference between more-snow and less-snow year in spring is remarkably larger than that in winter. Therefore, the effect of anomalous snow cover of the Tibetan Plateau in winter on the plateau heating appears more clearly in the following spring of anomalous snow cover.  相似文献   

Observations of nitric oxide fluxes over grass

Eddy correlation measurements of NO vertical flux were made periodically from October 1983 through June 1984 at a height of eight meters above grass in northeastern Illinois, U.S.A. From 207 data points, each representing a 25 min average, 19 daytime cases and 8 nighttime cases were selected on the basis of steady, nonadvective atmospheric conditions. Each case was represented by a set of data constituting a 3 to 5 hr average. Concentrations of O₃, NO, and NO _y (from which NO₂ was inferred) and local atmospheric and surface conditions also were measured, to provide the information necessary to assess the relative importance of surface deposition, surface emission, and air chemistry on the observed NO flux. On the basis of a linear regression analysis applied with independent variables representing physical, chemical, and biological processes, surface uptake of NO was very small for data primarily collected in the daytime during spring, and measured deposition velocities at a height of 8 m were very small, much smaller than expected for NO₂. For the same time period, the surface emission rates of elemental nitrogen in NO were in the range of 1.4 to 4.2 ng m^-2 s^-1 for moist, unsaturated soils at temperatures near 15° C. These emissions were partially masked in the measured fluxes by rapid in-air chemical reactions involving O₃ and NO₂. The effects of rapid in-air chemical reactions involving O₃ were to decrease the (upward) flux of NO with height. While the information collected at night was too limited to strongly support hypotheses concerning emissions and deposition, a pathway for NO production by reactions involving NO₃ and related compounds was indicated. For daytime conditions, this production pathway is not evident, probably because of the relatively strong effects of photochemical reactions involving NO, NO₂, and O₃.Formerly with the Chemical Technology Division of Argonne National Laboratory and currently affiliated with Bio-Rad Laboratories, Digilab Division, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.  相似文献
