Cancellation exponents and multifractal scaling laws in the solar wind magnetohydrodynamic turbulence   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Some signed measures in turbulence are found to be sign-singular, that is their sign reverses continuously on arbitrary finer scales with a reduction of the cancellation between positive and negative contributions. The strength of the singularity is characterized by a scaling exponent , the cancellation exponent. In the present study by using some turbulent samples of the velocity field obtained from spacecraft measurements in the interplanetary medium, we show that sign-singularity is present everywhere in low-frequency turbulent samples. The cancellation exponent can be related to the characteristic scaling laws of turbulence. Differences in the values of , calculated in both high- and low-speed streams, allow us to outline some physical differences in the samples with different velocities.  相似文献   

Computer-assisted image analysis on clast shape fabric from the Orvieto-Bagnoregio ignimbrite (Vulsini District, central Italy): implications on the emplacement mechanisms     

Bruno Capaccioni  Damiano Sarocchi 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1996,70(1-2)

Computer-assisted Image Analysis can be succesfully used to derive quantitative information about grain-size distribution, particle shape and fabric on both consolidated and unconsolidated solid aggregates. We have developed a new analytical method that provides a series of quantitative textural parameters from whatever particulate deposits by combining commercial image acquisition system with devoted C-software. After exhaustive tests of the method, we applied it to a widespread Quaternary ignimbrite formation in central Italy (the Orvieto-Bagnoregio formation). The results suggest some new aspects of emplacement mechanisms of ignimbrites: (1) elongated particles shows variable degrees of flow-related preferred orientation both on horizontal and vertical planes; (2) vertical variations of flow-related preferred particle orientations follow a “zig-zag” pattern that we interpret to result from deposition by progressive aggradation during the passage of a particulate flow. The filling up of paleovalleys by means of progressive aggradation proceeds flank to flank due to alternating flow directions, induced by the already deposited material; (3) the occurrence of vertically spaced peaks on the strength of clast orientation suggests the existence of discrete depositional units deposited by aggradation from an unsteady but persisting flow. Strong fabrics are inferred to result from the high amount of shear stress imparted to particles at the depositional boundary layer, which at the same time can be responsible for the development of the basal inversely graded layer. Image analysis can also provide useful indications of paleoflow directions, paleotopographic details and ignimbrite source areas.  相似文献   

Qualitative and quantitative aspects of the evolution of the planktonic populations in Lake Lugano   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Bruno Polli  Marco Simona 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1992,54(3-4):303-320

This study is a summary of all available information on the long-term and on the more recent development of the planktonic populations in Lago di Lugano with regard to its trophic evolution. The first effects of the lake eutrophication became manifest beginning in the 1950's and brought to important changes in the planktonic community as the appearance and the rapid increase of the filamentous algaeOscillatoria rubescens andStephanodiscus hantzschii, and the disappearance of the zooplanktonic Diaptomidae. Since 1980 the phosphorus concentration began to decrease in lake's epilimnion and the planktonic community showed a new composition, evidencing the presence of others predominant species:Oscillatoria redekei, Lyngbya limnetica, Stephanodiscus sp. (little form). Since 1989 algal standing crop reduced its value below 2 g m^–2 (dry weight); furthermore a strong decrease of the Cyanophceae and the appearance of new predominant species (Tabellaria fenestrata, div. Ulotrichales) occurred. At the same time an increase of the herbivorous zooplankton (Daphnia hyalina) and the come-back of the Diaptomidae was observed. Only in the northern basin a decrease tendency of the primary production was observed, changing from 480 to about 300 g C m^–2 yr^–1 during the last 10 years.  相似文献   

TWO REFERENCE MATERIALS, TRACHYTES MDO-G AND ISH-G, FOR ARGON DATING (K-AR AND ⁴⁰AR/³⁹AR) OF PLEISTOCENE AND HOLOCENE ROCKS     

Pierre-Yves GILLOT  Yves CORNETTE  Nathalie MAX  Bruno FLORIS 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》1992,16(1):55-60

With the recent extension of K-Ar dating methods within the Upper Pleistocene time, the use of new standards is recommended to allow calibration and inter-laboratory comparisons. For this purpose, two pure microlitic groundmass reference materials were prepared from trachy-basaltic lavas: Trachyte (MDO-G) from Mont Dore, Puy de Sancy, Massif Central is around 250 000 years old; the second Trachyte (ISH-G) from the Isle of Ischia, Gulf of Naples (Italy), is historical: Arso flow erupted on Christmas 1301 - January 1302 AD.  相似文献   

Über Neue Ergebnisse Kleintektonischer Untersuchungen im Rheinischen Schiefergebirge     

Bruno Engels 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1959,48(1):271-280

Zusammenfassung Zunächst wird die offenbar überragende Bedeutung der Diagonal-Störungen in den untersuchten Dachschiefer-Gruben dargelegt. Es ergeben sich ferner sehr spitzwinklig zum tektonischen Streichen verlaufende Drehverschiebungen, die zur gleichartigen Verformung führen, wie auch die örtlich festgestellten Auf- und Überschiebungen sowie Schieferung und Faltung (gleiche Deformationsellipse). — Die Schieferung führt in extremen Fällen zu einer fast völligen Umschichtung (tektonische Mischung).In einem Querprofil des Faltenspiegels zwischen Hunsrück und SE-Eifel kommt besonders die Moselmulde (Form und Schichtmächtigkeiten) zur Darstellung.  相似文献   

Dendrochronologie     

Bruno Huber 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1960,49(1):120-131

Zusammenfassung Die Dendrochronologie arbeitet mit der Jahresschichtung des Holzes. Der Zuwachs gleichzeitig wachsender Hölzer ist ähnlich. Diese Forschungsrichtung braucht viel Material zur Herstellung typischer Mittelkurven. Mit Hilfe der Überbrückungsmethode kommt man örtlich sehr weit zurück. Schwierigkeiten liegen in der gesetzmäßigen Abnahme der Ähnlichkeit von Jahresringkurven mit der Entfernung voneinander. Neben einer absoluten Chronologie sind in Deutschland relative Chronologien aus Jungsteinzeit und Bronzezeit erarbeitet worden. Die Dendrochronologie kann gewisse Aussagen über Klimaschwankungen machen.  相似文献

Correcting superconducting gravity time-series using rainfall modelling at the Vienna and Membach stations and application to Earth tide analysis     

Bruno Meurers  Michel Van Camp  Toon Petermans 《Journal of Geodesy》2007,81(11):703-712

We demonstrate the possibility to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of superconducting gravity time-series by correcting for local hydrological effects. Short-term atmospheric events associated with heavy rain induce step-like gravity signals that deteriorate the frequency spectrum estimates. Based on 4D modeling constrained by high temporal resolution rain gauge data, rainfall admittances for the Vienna and Membach superconducting gravity stations are calculated. This allows routine correction for Newtonian rain water effects, which reduces the standard deviation of residuals after tidal parameter adjustment by 10%. It also improves the correction of steps of instrumental origin when they coincide with step-like water mass signals.  相似文献   

Validation of climate model output using Bayesian statistical methods     

Mark A. Snyder  Bruno Sansó  Lisa C. Sloan 《Climatic change》2007,83(4):457-476

The growing interest in and emphasis on high spatial resolution estimates of future climate has demonstrated the need to apply regional climate models (RCMs) to that problem. As a consequence, the need for validation of these models, an assessment of how well an RCM reproduces a known climate, has also grown. Validation is often performed by comparing RCM output to gridded climate datasets and/or station data. The primary disadvantage of using gridded climate datasets is that the spatial resolution is almost always different and generally coarser than climate model output. We have used a Bayesian statistical model derived from observational data to validate RCM output. We used surface air temperature (SAT) data from 109 observational stations in California, all with records of approximately 50 years in length, and created a statistical model based on this data. The statistical model takes into account the elevation of the station, distance from coastline, and the NOAA climate region in which the station resides. Analysis indicates that the statistical model provides reliable estimates of the mean monthly SAT at any given station. In our method, the uncertainty in the estimates produced by the statistical model are directly determined by obtaining probability density functions for predicted SATs. This statistical model is then used to estimate average SATs corresponding to each of the climate model grid cells. These estimates are compared to the output of the RCM to assess how well the RCM matches the observed climate as defined by the statistical model. Overall, the match between the RCM output and the statistical model is good, with some deficiencies likely due in part to the representation of topography in the RCM.  相似文献   

Solar Coronal Plasma in Doppler Measurements     

Bruno Bertotti  Giacomo Giampieri 《Solar physics》1998,178(1):85-107

Doppler tracking of an interplanetary spacecraft near solar conjunction is strongly affected by the plasma in the solar corona, the main competitive contribution in measurements of the gravitational deflection of light rays. With the simultaneous availability of carriers in X band and K_a band for interplanetary communications, the plasma contribution to the corona can be accurately eliminated and measured. If, as in the Cassini mission, three different observables are available, this can be done in two ways: one deals with the total plasma content in the electric approximation, even in the ionosphere and interplanetary space; another is limited to the corona, but has access to subtler effects, like the magnetic correction to the refractive index. This technique will allow important progress in the radio investigation of the solar corona.  相似文献
