Is there a hidden near surface salt diapir in the Guelma Basin,north-east of Algeria?     

Djamel Boubaya  Karim Allek  Mohamed Hamoudi   《Journal of Applied Geophysics》2011,73(4):348-356

The diapiric province of north-eastern Algeria and Tunisia extends NE–SW over several hundreds of kilometres. Available, geophysical and geological investigations were focused on the study of known diapiric outcrop. In contrast to the existing work, our study is focused on to identify a new hidden near surface salt diapir in the Guelma Basin, north-east of Algeria.Integrated geophysical study comprising aeromagnetic, gravimetric and DC resistivity data calibrated with existing well information provides new insights into the geometry of the geologic structure of Guelma Basin. Spatial correlation between magnetic low, strong gravity minimum and resistivity high reveal a hidden near surface salt diapir. The Guelma salt diapir is topped by a local topographic high which follows exactly the underlying salt body. Joint gravity-magnetic modelling indicates that salt is deeply rooted and has a dome-like shape. The Guelma salt diapir was triggered by normal faulting and is directly controlled by regional extension.  相似文献   

Accuracy of numerical simulations of contaminant transport in heterogeneous aquifers: A comparative study     

F.A. Radu  N. Suciu  J. HoffmannA. Vogel  O. Kolditz  C.-H. ParkS. Attinger 《Advances in water resources》2011,34(1):47-61

This work deals with a comparison of different numerical schemes for the simulation of contaminant transport in heterogeneous porous media. The numerical methods under consideration are Galerkin finite element (GFE), finite volume (FV), and mixed hybrid finite element (MHFE). Concerning the GFE we use linear and quadratic finite elements with and without upwind stabilization. Besides the classical MHFE a new and an upwind scheme are tested. We consider higher order finite volume schemes as well as two time discretization methods: backward Euler (BE) and the second order backward differentiation formula BDF (2). It is well known that numerical (or artificial) diffusion may cause large errors. Moreover, when the Péclet number is large, a numerical code without some stabilising techniques produces oscillating solutions. Upwind schemes increase the stability but show more numerical diffusion. In this paper we quantify the numerical diffusion for the different discretization schemes and its dependency on the Péclet number. We consider an academic example and a realistic simulation of solute transport in heterogeneous aquifer. In the latter case, the stochastic estimates used as reference were obtained with global random walk (GRW) simulations, free of numerical diffusion. The results presented can be used by researchers to test their numerical schemes and stabilization techniques for simulation of contaminant transport in groundwater.  相似文献   

Influence of spatial variations of microtopography and infiltration on surface runoff and field scale hydrological connectivity   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Willemijn M. Appels  Patrick W. BogaartSjoerd E.A.T.M. van der Zee 《Advances in water resources》2011,34(2):303-313

Surface runoff on agricultural fields arises when rainfall exceeds infiltration. Excess water ponding in and flowing through local microtopography increases the hydrological connectivity of fields. In turn, an increased level of hydrological connectivity leads to a higher surface runoff flux at the field boundaries. We investigated the functional hydrological connectivity of synthetical elevation fields with varying statistical properties. For this purpose, we developed an object-oriented ponding and redistribution model to which Philip’s infiltration model was coupled. The connectivity behaviour is determined by the presence of depressions with a large area and spatial organization of microtopography in rills or channels. The presence of microdepressions suppresses the effect of the spatial variation of infiltration properties. Connectivity behaviour of a field with a varying spatial distribution of infiltration properties can be predicted by transforming the unique connectivity function that was defined for a designated microtopography.  相似文献

Formal definition of a user-adaptive and length-optimal routing graph for complex indoor environments     

GOETZ Marcus  ZIPF Alexander 《地球空间信息科学学报》2011,14(2):119-128

Car routing solutions are omnipresent and solutions for pedestrians also exist.Furthermore,public or commercial buildings are getting bigger and the complexity of their internal structure has increased.Consequently,the need for indoor routing solutions has emerged.Some prototypes are available,but they still lack semantically-enriched modelling (e.g.,access constraints,labels,etc.) and are not suitable for providing user-adaptive length-optimal routing in complex buildings.Previous approaches consider simple rooms,concave rooms,and corridors,but important characteristics such as distinct areas in huge rooms and solid obstacles inside rooms are not considered at all,although such details can increase navigation accuracy.By formally defining a weighted indoor routing graph,it is possible to create a detailed and user-adaptive model for route computation.The defined graph also contains semantic information such as room labels,door accessibility constraints,etc.Furthermore,one-way paths inside buildings are considered,as well as three-dimensional building parts,e.g.,elevators or stairways.A hierarchical structure is also possible with the presented graph model.  相似文献   

冬季青藏高原大气热状况分析Ⅱ：年际变化   总被引：4，自引：3，他引：1

通过诊断3套再分析资料的非绝热加热场,研究冬季青藏高原上空大气的热力特征.结果表明,与夏季为强热源的特征不同,冬季高原上空不是欧亚大陆上最强的冷源中心.冬季高原上空整体是偏弱的冷源,在高原西侧及东南地区上空甚至出现非绝热加热正值区,这一分析对以往研究提出的高原是冷源的特性给出了修正.各种非绝热加热分量的诊断表明,冬季高原上空这种总的非绝热加热分布主要是由于高原主体的长波辐射冷却较周边地区弱,以及西侧至东南地区凝结潜热释放造成的.为了说明再分析的非绝热加热资料对冬季高原上空大气的这种热力特征描述的可信性,文中还利用了地表辐射能量、TRMM及PREC/L降水、垂直速度等资料进一步辅助分析,证实了由于高原位势较高造成大气整层温度偏低,向外长波辐射偏少,以及高原地势的隆起造成局地较强的上升运动,高原西侧至东南角降水大值区潜热偏大,最终造成高原上空总非绝热加热负值偏小.最后理想高原隆起的水球试验结果说明,冬季,高原的存在减弱了陆地上空的冷却效应,因而其上为弱冷源,再次证实了资料分析的结果.  相似文献   

基于BJ-RUC系统的临近探空及其对强对流发生潜势预报的指示性能初探   总被引：19，自引：12，他引：7

缺乏对流天气发生临近时刻的探空观测资料是制约强对流短时预报水平进一步发展的重要因素.随着数值预报技术水平的持续提高,高时空分辨率数值预报输出的模式探空性能越来越好,这为获取对流发生前的临近探空提供了有益的补充.本文针对北京地区2008年夏季20次较强的对流过程,得出北京市气象局BJ-RUC数值预报系统输出的54511站在分析时次(t=0)和预报时效分别为3和6 h的预报偏差均略差于t=0的分析探空,但是此两个时次的预报探空误差仍然处于可接受的范围内.对比20个对流个例54511站分别基于观测和分析或预报的对流不稳定能量、水平风的垂直切变等基本对流参数可以发现t=0时次模式分析探空在趋势和量级上与基于实际探空观测诊断的对流参数均有较好的一致性,基本上能够较为正确地在模式中反映临近对流发生前实际大气的环境特征;但是当考虑实际的预报时效时,t=3和6 h的预报探空能够提前约1和4 h为预报员提供对未来对流发生潜势预报的判断.因此,此两个时次探空更具有实际的业务应用价值.以两个强对流个例为例分析了BJ-RUC系统提供的分析和预报临近探空的性能及其对强对流潜势预报的指示性作用.结果表明,BJ-RUC输出的分析和预报探空对未来对流发生潜势具有较好的指示作用.但依据模式输出的探空变化要对对流发生时间、强度、落区乃至对流类型进行准确预报仍有一定的难度.  相似文献
