Olivine phenocrysts of Hawaiian olivine tholeiite and oceanite   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Sven Maaløe  Birger Hansen 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1982,81(3):203-211

Olivine phenocrysts of Hawaiian tholeiites display a variety of textures and a variation in composition which is due to supercooled crystallization. The highest forsterite content measured is 91%, and the highest magnesia content estimated for a tholeiitic liquid is 17%, using the olivine geothermometer. The liquid of this composition may be either a primary magma or a primitive magma. It is not yet possible to specify any particular composition range for the primary Hawaiian tholeiites.  相似文献   

Distinct modes of bidecadal and multidecadal variability in a climate reconstruction of the last centuries from a South Pacific coral     

Mihai Dima  Thomas Felis  Gerrit Lohmann  Norel Rimbu 《Climate Dynamics》2005,25(2-3):329-336

The Rarotonga coral Sr/Ca time series (Linsley et al. in Science 290:1145–1148, 2000) provides a near-monthly resolved proxy record of South Pacific climate variability over the last ~300 years. Here we show that two distinct interdecadal, quasi-periodic time components with periods of ~80 and ~25 years can be identified in this time series by Singular Spectrum Analysis. Their associated spatial patterns in the global sea surface temperature (SST) field show notable differences. Whereas the multidecadal component is associated with a global SST pattern that was recently associated with solar forcing on multidecadal timescales, the bidecadal component is associated with a well known pattern of Pacific decadal to interdecadal SST variability.  相似文献   

Application of wavelet transformation to determine wavelengths and phase velocities of gravity waves observed by lidar measurements     

R. Werner  K. Stebel  G.H. Hansen  U. Blum  U.-P. Hoppe  M. Gausa  K.-H. Fricke 《Journal of Atmospheric and Solar》2007,69(17-18):2249

During the last two decades, important advances have been made in the investigation of gravity waves. However, more efforts are needed to study certain aspects of gravity waves. In the real atmosphere, gravity waves occur with different properties at different altitudes and, most often, simultaneously. In this case, when there is more than one dominant wave, the determination of gravity wave characteristics, such as the vertical wavelength and the phase velocity, is difficult. The interpretation of temperature perturbation plots versus the altitude and time as well as the application of the Fourier spectral analysis can produce errors.Exact knowledge of the wave characteristics is important both for determination of other characteristics, for example, the horizontal wave components, and for study of wave climatology. The wavelet analysis of vertical temperature profiles allows one to examine the wave's location in space. Up to now, gravity waves have been studied mainly by continuous wavelet transformation to determine dominant waves. We apply wavelet analysis to a time series of temperature profiles, observed by the ALOMAR ozone lidar at Andoya, Norway, and by the U. Bonn lidar system at ESRANGE, Sweden, both for determination of the dominant waves and for specifying the vertical wavelengths and the vertical component of the phase velocities. For this purpose, the wavelet amplitude spectra and the wavelet phase spectra are filtered and Hovmöller diagrams for dominant wavelengths are constructed. The advantage of this type of diagrams is that they give clear evidence for the localization of the dominant waves in space and time and for the development of their phase fronts.  相似文献   

An analytical solution to multi-component NAPL dissolution equations     

Scott K. Hansen  Bernard H. Kueper 《Advances in water resources》2007

This note presents a novel method for determining the changing composition of a multi-component NAPL body dissolving into moving groundwater, and the consequent changes in the aqueous phase solute concentrations in the surrounding pore water. A canonical system of coupled non-linear governing equations is derived which is suitable for representation of both pooled and residual configurations, and this is solved. Whereas previous authors have handled such problems numerically, it is shown that these governing equations succumb to analytical solution. By a suitable substitution, the equations become decoupled, and the problem collapses to a single first-order equation. The final result is expressed implicitly, with time as a function of the number of moles of the least soluble component, m₁. The number of moles of each other component is expressed explicitly in terms of m₁. It is shown that the time-m₁ relationship has a well behaved inverse. An example is given in which the analytic solution is verified against traditional finite difference analysis, and its computational efficiency is shown.  相似文献   

Multi-instrument ground-based observations of a travelling convection vortices event     

H. Lühr  M. Lockwood  P. E. Sandholt  T. L. Hansen  T. Moretto 《Annales Geophysicae》1996,14(2):162-181

A coordinated ground-based observational campaign using the IMAGE magnetometer network, EISCAT radars and optical instruments on Svalbard has made possible detailed studies of a travelling convection vortices (TCV) event on 6 January 1992. Combining the data from these facilities allows us to draw a very detailed picture of the features and dynamics of this TCV event. On the way from the noon to the drawn meridian, the vortices went through a remarkable development. The propagation velocity in the ionosphere increased from 2.5 to 7.4 km s⁻¹, and the orientation of the major axes of the vortices rotated from being almost parallel to the magnetic meridian near noon to essentially perpendicular at dawn. By combining electric fields obtained by EISCAT and ionospheric currents deduced from magnetic field recordings, conductivities associated with the vortices could be estimated. Contrary to expectations we found higher conductivities below the downward field aligned current (FAC) filament than below the upward directed. Unexpected results also emerged from the optical observations. For most of the time there were no discrete aurora at 557.7 nm associated with the TCVs. Only once did a discrete form appear at the foot of the upward FAC. This aurora subsequently expanded eastward and westward leaving its centre at the same longitude while the TCV continued to travel westward. Also we try to identify the source regions of TCVs in the magnetosphere and discuss possible generation mechanisms.  相似文献   

Die atlantischen Ankerstationen des „Armauer Hansen“ im Jahre 1930 in der Bearbeitung von V. W. Ekman     

Walter Hansen 《Ocean Dynamics》1954,7(1-2):55-58

Summary The main subject of Ekman's most careful and detailed analysis of the current measurements of Armauer Hansen is to elucidate the periodical character of ocean currents. A survey of his results is given in table 2 and by means of an outline chartlet a comparison is made between the values which are derived from the observations on board Armauer Hansen and those attained by the reviewer by numerical calculation.

Solar-cycle dependence of galactic cosmic ray flux     

G. D. Parker  R. L. Chasson  R. T. Hansen  S. F. Hansen 《Solar physics》1976,48(2):399-410

To investigate the relationship between solar activity and cosmic ray modulation, time series of the nucleonic flux and of solar plages, sunspots, centimeter radio noise, and the brightness of the white light corona at 1.1 and 1.5 solar radii from the center of Sun are cross-correlated. Data pertain to the years 1964–1967 during the ascending phase of the current solar cycle. The amplitudes and phases of correlation functions for filtered and unfiltered indices are discussed. The existence of a superior solar index for relating solar activity to long-term modulation is not yet demonstrated conclusively, and the time lag of modulation is too poorly determined to permit its use in estimating the radius of the modulation region.Presently at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

Thermonuclear detonations in collapsing white dwarf stars     

J. Craig Wheeler  Carl J. Hansen 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1971,11(3):373-397

Collapsing white dwarf stars (or degenerate cores) may occur in binary systems, in the formation of Type I supernovae or in the formation of pulsars. These collapsing configurations may explode their nuclear fuel (¹²C or¹⁶O) by the detonation wave mechanism. A combination of analytical and numerical models is used to investigate the formation of detonation waves. The tentative conclusion is that a detonation wave will form which will lead to the ignition of esentially all the fuel in such a collapsing star. This potentially explosive configuration will be strongly affected, however, by rapid beta processes which occur in the detonated matter and which should cause a fraction of the stellar mass to collapse toward a neutron star state. The nature and effect of such beta processes, which have not yet been incorporated in the dynamical calculations, are discussed.An appendix gives approximate expressions for the pressureP(,T) and the internal energy densityU(,T) for a degenerate relativistic electron gas and an analysis of the errors expected in making such approximations to the standard parametric form of the equation of state. These expressions are useful in analyzing shock waves in a degenerate electron gas.Supported in part by the National Science Foundation [GP-15911, GP-9114, GP-19887] and the Office of Naval Research [Nonr-220 (47)] at the California Institute of Technology, and National Science Foundation Grant GP-12455 at the University of Colorado.  相似文献
