Progress in GIScience has advanced the ability to represent and analyze view characteristics. GIS‐derived view measures requiring digital elevation surface models are used in hedonic property models to quantify the amenity value of view for parcel sales transactions. Ideally models should represent surface elevations that are temporally synchronized with parcel sale dates. Temporal synchronization for studies spanning multiple years may require significant effort. Few studies have undertaken this effort, leading us to investigate in this research the need to be temporally explicit. We evaluate two competing surface model approaches based on: (1) a single year 2000 LiDAR surface product; and (2) annual‐specific surface products for 1995–2002. Two competing view measures based on the different surface approaches are constructed for 561 parcel transactions during 1995–2002 in a coastal North Carolina county and are input into hedonic regression models. Results showed that being temporally explicit did matter in terms of finding significantly different view measures but did not matter in terms of finding significantly different effects of view on parcel sales prices. Despite mixed results for our case study, we advise that future research involving GIS‐based view measurement should consider the spatial and temporal contexts of study area development patterns when evaluating the need to be temporally explicit. 相似文献

A two-dimensional scour model based on coupled system of shallow water equations (SWEs) and sediment transport on unstructured mesh is developed. The coupled system of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic equations is solved by finite volume method using Godunov scheme. Roe's approximate Riemann solver is used to calculate the inviscid fluxes. The use of unstructured mesh makes the model applicable to complex domains. However, it is difficult to evaluate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix in the global coordinate. The method proposed herein to deal with this difficulty is to transform the system into the local coordinate with one of the axes in the same direction as the interface outward normal vector. In the local coordinate system, the Jacobian matrix is simplified and the eigenvalues are analyzed using asymptotic method. Regular expansion breaks down when the flow is near critical. Uniformity of the expansion is achieved by changing the scales. Rotational invariance theorem is used to relate the interfacial fluxes in the global and local coordinate systems. Special treatment of the source term on unstructured grid makes the scheme stable and physically balanced (both mass and momentum). The method proposed in this paper for the eigen-system is very efficient comparing to iterative numerical methods. Results from the test cases show good agreement with the experiments. 相似文献

We consider a system consisting of a neutron star surrounded by a disc of dense degenerate matter, and study the sequence of events following the impact of comets on to the disc. The direct signature of the impact event is a short burst of high-energy radiation (X-rays to UV, depending on the impact location) emitted from the bubble of hot gas created at the impact site. We assume that the bubble is confined by the magnetic field of the central neutron star. Part of the bubble matter may be channelled along magnetic field lines and rain down on the polar caps. The surface density at the neutron star surface may be sufficient to initiate a runaway thermonuclear reaction. These X-rays or the direct effect of the transferred plasma crossing charge-depleted regions in the outer magnetosphere may re-ignite an otherwise dead pulsar. 相似文献

As part of the E-Flux project, we documented spatial variability and temporal changes in plankton community structure in a cold-core cyclonic eddy in the lee of the Hawaiian Islands. Cyclone Opal spanned 200 km in diameter, with sharply uplifted isopycnals (80–100 m relative to surrounding waters) and a strongly expressed deep chlorophyll a maximum (DCM) in its central core region of 40 km diameter. Microscopic and flow cytometric analyses of samples from across the eddy revealed dramatic transitions in phytoplankton community structure, reflecting Opal's well-developed physical structure. Upper mixed-layer populations in the eddy resembled those outside the eddy and were dominated by picophytoplankton. In contrast, the DCM was composed of large chain-forming diatoms dominated by Chaetoceros and Rhizosolenia spp. Diatoms attained unprecedented levels of biomass (nearly 90 μg C l−1) in the center of the eddy, accounting for 85% of photosynthetic biomass. Protozoan grazers displayed two- to three-fold higher biomass levels in the eddy center as well. We also found a distinct and persistent layer of senescent diatom cells overlying healthy populations, often separated by less than 10 m, indicating that we were sampling a bloom in a state of decline. Time-series sampling over 8 days showed a successional shift in community structure within the central diatom bloom, from the unexpected large chain-forming species to smaller forms more typical of the subtropical North Pacific. The diatom bloom of Cyclone Opal was a unique, and possibly extreme, example of biological response to physical forcing in the North Pacific subtropical gyre, and its detailed study may therefore help to improve our predictive understanding of environmental controls on plankton community structure. 相似文献

Improving vertical GPS precision with a GPS-over-fiber architecture and real-time relative delay calibration 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A limitation of GPS positioning is that the vertical component is generally two to three times less precise than the horizontal components. In a previous work by R. Santerre of Laval University and G. Beutler of University of Bern, it was shown in simulations that it is possible to improve the GPS vertical positioning precision by using a multi-antenna GPS receiver and a precise calibration technique of the relative hardware delay between the antennas and the receiver. However, no actual implementation of the system was done to prove the concept until now. A new multi-antenna, GPS-over-fiber architecture with real-time delay monitoring, designed and implemented to improve the vertical precision is presented. The improvement in vertical precision arises from the elimination of the relative receiver clock error in single difference, between antennas, and the precision real-time calibration of the relative hardware delay. Experiments were conducted with a zero baseline and a short baseline configuration. The results show, as expected by the theory and the simulations, a two to three times improvement in the precision of the vertical component such that it reached the same level of performance as the horizontal components. These promising results will enable the use of this type of configuration in several applications where the same precision in all 3D components is essential and could not be achieved before with standard GPS positioning techniques. 相似文献

Co sorption was measured as a function of pH, ionic strength (0.001-0.1 M NaNO3) and sorbate/sorbent ratio on pure quartz, HFO and kaolinite and on binary and ternary mixtures of the three solids. Sorption data measured for the pure solids were used to derive internally-consistent diffuse layer surface complexation model (DLM) stability constants for Co sorption. Co sorption on HFO could be adequately modeled over a broad range of ionic strengths and sorbate/sorbent ratios with a two variable-charge site model. Fits based on a single variable-charge site model were reasonable, but were improved by using ionic-strength dependent stability constants. A single variable-charge site model with an additional permanent ion exchange site produced the best fit to Co edges measured on kaolinite over a range of ionic strength and sorbate/sorbent ratios. These DLM fits were also improved by using ionic-strength dependent stability constants. The DLM approach could not adequately describe the slope of Co sorption edges on quartz. This study demonstrates that for accurate prediction of Co sorption over wide ranges of ionic strength and sorbate/sorbent ratio, the DLM may require ionic-strength dependent stability constants. DLM stability constants for Co sorption derived for the pure solids were used to predict sorption as a function of pH and solid concentration on binary and ternary mixtures of the three solids. Discrepancies between predictions and measurements were quantitatively similar to those observed for the pure mineral systems. Thus, a simple component additivity approach provides useful predictions of metal sorption in the mixed solid systems. 相似文献

The discovery of the Gouap banded iron formations(BIFs)-hosted iron mineralization in the northwestern of the Nyong Group(Ntem Complex)in southwestern Cameroon provides unique insights into the geology of this region.In this contribution,we firstly report detailed study of geochemistry,isotopic and geochronology of well preserved samples of the Gouap BIFs collected from diamond drillcores.The Gouap BIFs consist mainly of amphibole BIFs and amphibole-pyrite BIFs characterized by dominant Fe2O3+SiO2contents and variable contents of CaO,MgO and SO3,consistent with the presence of amphibole,chlorite,epidote and pyrite,formed during amphibolite facies metamorphism and overprinted hydrothermal event.The amphibole–pyrite BIFs are typically enriched in trace and rare earth elements(REE)compared to the amphibole BIFs,suggesting the influence of detrital materials as well as secondary hydrothermal alteration.The Post Archean Australian Shale(PAAS)-normalized REE–Y profiles of the Gouap BIFs display positive La,Eu anomalies,weak negative Ce anomalies,indicating a mixture of low-temperature hydrothermal fluids and relatively oxic conditions probably under relative shallow seawater.We present here the first isotopic data of BIFs within the Ntem Complex.Theδ30SiNBS28values of the quartz from the Gouap BIFs vary from-1.5‰to-0.3‰and from-0.8‰to-0.9‰for the amphibole BIFs and amphibole–pyrite BIFs,respectively.The quartz hasδ18OV-SMOW values of 6.8‰–9.5‰(amphibole BIFs)and 9.2‰–10.6‰(amphibole–pyrite BIFs).The magnetite from the Gouap BIFs showsδ18O values ranging from-3.5‰to-1.8‰and from-3‰to-1.7‰for the amphibole BIFs and amphibole–pyrite BIFs,respectively.Moreover,the pyrite grains in the amphibole–pyrite BIFs displayδ34S values of 1.1‰–1.8‰.All isotopic data of the Gouap BIFs confirm that they might have precipitated from low-temperature hydrothermal fluids with detrital input distant from the volcanic activity.According to their geochemical and isotopic characteristics,we propose that the Gouap BIFs belong to the Superior type.In situ U–Pb zircon dating of BIFs was conducted to assess the BIF depositional age based on strong evidence of zircon in thin section.The Gouap BIFs were probably deposited at 2422±50 Ma in a region where sediments extended from continental shelf to deep-water environments along craton margins like the Caue Formation of the Minas Supergroup,Brazil.The studied BIFs have experienced regional hydrothermal activity and metamorphism at 2089±8.3 Ma during the Eburnean–Transamazonian orogeny.These findings suggest a physical continuity between the protocratonic masses of both Sao Francisco and Congo continents in the Rhyacian Period. 相似文献

As part of the US Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (US JGOFS) Southern Ocean Program, flow cytometry and epifluorescent microscopy were utilized to determine abundance, distribution and size structure of the microbial community in the Polar Front region during the summer biomass maximum. Surface samples were collected approximately every 10 km along 170°W during two N–S transects, separated in time by two weeks. Phytoplankton abundance and size structure varied with distinct latitudinal trends. Autotrophic biomass was lowest north of the Polar Front reflecting the dominance of small cells. The highest biomass (170 μg C l−1) occurred at 65°S where the composition was strongly influenced by large centric diatoms. Farther south, the diatom community shifted to the dominance of smaller pennate diatoms. Total grazer biomass and size distributions followed similar patterns, ranging from 4 μg C l−1 in the north to 52 μg C l−1 in the south where larger (>20 μm) grazers were more abundant. Heterotrophic bacteria varied over an order of magnitude in abundance across the study site, with size generally increasing from north to south. In the second transect, phytoplankton biomass at 65°S was 50% lower, and grazer biomass and bacterial populations were slightly greater, indicating the decline of the bloom. The changes in biomass and community structure along 170°W and the reduction of phytoplankton standing stock at 65°S over time suggests adjacent, yet different, microbial systems in terms of carbon flux, spanning from primarily recycling to export-dominated. 相似文献

We present new quantitative data on the sorting of sediments on a sandy seabed under standing waves. Starting from a flat bed composed of a homogeneous mixture of a coarse and a fine sand with mean diameters 0.11 and 0.21 mm, we observed simultaneous ripple and sand bar formation and sand sorting on the seabed. Over days of wave action, sand bars formed with crests beneath the surface wave nodes and flat plateaus flanked by mounds beneath the antinodes. Bar crests were composed of sand coarser on average than 0.21 mm, while the flat plateaus were covered by sand finer on average than 0.11 mm. Comparison with two experiments involving sand beds of more homogeneous size distributions shows that the mounds are characteristic of the motion of fine suspensions. 相似文献
