Regional gravimetric quasi-geoid model and transformation surface to national height system for Turkey (THG-09)     

Ali Kiliçoğlu  Ahmet Direnç  Hasan Yildiz  Murat Bölme  Bahadir Aktuğ  Mehmet Simav  Onur Lenk 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》2011,55(4):557-578

Turkish regional geoid models have been developed by employing a reference earth gravitational model, surface gravity observations and digital terrain models. The gravimetric geoid models provide a ready transformation from ellipsoidal heights to the orthometric heights through the use of GPS/leveling geoid heights determined through the national geodetic networks. The recent gravimetric models for Turkish territory were computed depending on OSU91 (TG-91) and EGM96 (TG-03) earth gravitational models. The release of the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM08), the collection of new surface gravity observations, the advanced satellite altimetry-derived gravity over the sea, and the availability of the high resolution digital terrain model have encouraged us to compute a new geoid model for Turkey. We used the Remove-Restore procedure based on EGM08 and applied Residual Terrain Model (RTM) reduction of the surface gravity data. Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) was then used to obtain the residual quasigeoid from the reduced gravity. We restored the individual contributions of EGM08 and RTM to the whole quasi-geoid height (TQG-09). Since the Helmert orthometric height system is adopted in Turkey, the quasi-geoid model (TQG-09) was then converted to the geoid model (TG-09) by making use of Bouguer gravity anomalies and digital terrain model. After all we combined a gravimetric geoid model with GPS/leveling geoid heights in order to obtain a hybrid geoid model (THG-09) (or a transformation surface) to be used in GPS applications. The RMS of the post-fit residuals after the combination was found to be ± 0.95 cm, which represents the internal precision of the final combination. And finally, we tested the hybrid geoid model with GPS/leveling data, which were not used in the combination, to assess the external accuracy. Results show that the external accuracy of the THG-09 model is ± 8.4 cm, a precision previously not achieved in Turkey until this study.  相似文献   

A GIS model for preliminary hazard assessment of swelling clays,a case study in Harran plain (SE Turkey)   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Swelling behavior of clayey soils regarded as a hidden disaster, causes a great deal of damage in light hydraulic structures such as drinking water network, irrigation pipes or open canal linings through which water can easily leak and penetrate into soil during loading and unloading stages. Early identification during site investigation and laboratory testing is extremely important to ensure that the appropriate design strategy is adopted. The clay soils having swelling potential are generally found in arid and semi-arid regions, such as in the Şanlıurfa-Harran plain located in the southeast of Turkey. The problems associated with swelling clays occurred for the lightweight hydraulic structures constructed in Turkey have been met during the construction of irrigation structures in the scope of Southeast Anatolian Project as the Turkey’s greatest water resources project. Therefore, the identification of such soils and the assessment of their swelling potential parameters are necessary for hazard mitigation planning and land-use management. In this scope, extensive geotechnical study is executed for an investigation area. The samples were obtained from the Harran plain where many irrigation canal structures are constructed, and geotechnical study was performed on these samples. Atterberg limit tests often provide the basic field information to substantiate the soil’s swelling nature. The plasticity index (PI) and liquid limit (LL) values are also used extensively for classifying swelling soil and should always be determined during preliminary investigations. Because of this, LL and PI are assessed by using geographical information system (GIS)-based computer software, and LL and PI contour maps are created. Swelling percentages of the soil samples were carried out on both undisturbed and compacted soil samples by using direct methods. As a result of this extensive study, the values of swelling percentages determined for each location are used to obtain the swelling potential hazard map of the area by means of a GIS program. The results of GIS analyses for this area indicate that the analyses based on a lot of data introduce meaningful results for this study. It is expected that these maps will be a useful tool for planners and engineers in their efforts to achieve better land-use planning and to decide necessary remedial measures.  相似文献   

Relationship between soil erosion, slope, parent material, and distance to road (Case study: Latian Watershed, Iran)     

Shirin Mohammadkhan  Hasan Ahmadi  Mohammad Jafari 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2011,4(1-2):331-338

Soil erosion is the dominating factor of damaging roads in Iran. Roads are a critical component of civilization. Developing and maintaining the economic activity that is vital for the quality of modern life would be difficult without roads. Accelerated erosion and increased sediment yields resulting from changes in land use are critical environmental problems, and one of the important changes is road construction. Construction and condition of roadways are associated with direct and indirect impacts on soil erosion. This paper presents the relationship between soil erosion and some characteristics such as distance to roadway, slope, and parent material in Latian Watershed, Tehran Province, Iran. Soil erosion map was interpreted using aerial photos and GIS technology. Buffer zones, subdivided into 12 strips, each 0.2 km wide, which were located alongside roadway. The distribution patterns of various types of erosion were also identified by GIS by overlaying road buffer strips and soil erosion map. The results show that soil erosion landform such as land slide, badland, bank erosion, channel erosion, etc. found in buffer zones along both sides of roads.  相似文献

The Alfvén-Carlquist double-layer theory of solar flares     

S. S. Hasan  D. Ter Haar 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1978,56(1):89-107

We use the Vlasov equations for ions and electrons to develop a theory of a double layer in which there are both free and trapped electrons and ions. We find the equations which replace the Langmuir condition and the Bohm conditions and by numerically solving the resultant differential equation we find for particular choices of distribution functions the potential distribution in the layer. We discuss the applicability of this theory to solar flares, and show that conditions in solar flares may be such that double layers can exist for which the free particles have a power-law energy distribution. These particles will be accelerated in a double layer and may in this way account for the production of high-energy particles during the impulsive phase of solar flares.  相似文献   

Time-dependent interaction of granules with magnetic flux tubes     

P. Venkatakrishnan  S. S. Hasan 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》1981,2(2):133-139

The time-dependent interaction of the granulation velocity field with a magnetic flux tube is investigated here. It is seen that when a magnetic field line is displaced normal to itself so as to simulate thebuffeting action of granules, a flow of gas is initiated along the field. By choosing a lateral velocity field which is consistent with observations of granules, it is found that the resulting gas motion is a downward flow with a velocity compatible with the observed downflow in isolated photospheric flux tubes. It is therefore proposed that the observed photospheric downflow is a manifestation of the interaction of granules with flux tubes.  相似文献   

Arsenic in shallow groundwater of Bangladesh: investigations from three different physiographic settings   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. Aziz Hasan  K. Matin Ahmed  Ondra Sracek  Prosun Bhattacharya  Mattias von Brömssen  Sandra Broms  Johan Fogelström  M. Lutful Mazumder  Gunnar Jacks 《Hydrogeology Journal》2007,15(8):1507-1522

Occurrences of arsenic (As) in the Bengal Basin of Bangladesh show close relationships with depositional environments and sediment textures. Hydrochemical data from three sites with varying physiography and sedimentation history show marked variations in redox status and dissolved As concentrations. Arsenic concentration in groundwater of the Ganges Flood Plain (GFP) is characteristically low, where high Mn concentrations indicate redox buffering by reduction of Mn(IV)-oxyhydroxides. Low DOC, \( {\text{HCO}}^{ - }_{3} \), \( {\text{NH}}^{ + }_{4} \) and high \( {\text{NO}}^{ - }_{3} \) and \( {\text{SO}}^{{2 - }}_{4} \) concentrations reflect an elevated redox status in GFP aquifers. In contrast, As concentration in the Ganges Delta Plain (GDP) is very high along with high Fe and low Mn. In the Meghna Flood Plain (MFP), moderate to high As and Fe concentrations and low Mn are detected. Degradation of organic matter probably drives redox reactions in the aquifers, particularly in MFP and GDP, thereby mobilising dissolved As. Speciation calculations indicate supersaturation with respect to siderite and vivianite in the groundwater samples at MFP and GDP, but groundwater in the GFP wells is generally supersaturated with respect to rhodochrosite. Values of log P_CO2 at MFP and GDP sites are generally higher than at the GFP site. This is consistent with Mn(IV)-redox buffering suggested at the GFP site compared to Fe(III)-redox buffering at MFP and GDP sites.  相似文献   

Morphometric Analysis and Hydrological Inference for Water Resource Management in Atrai-Sib River Basin,NW Bangladesh Using Remote Sensing and GIS Technique     

Chowdhury Sarwar Jahan  Md. Ferozur Rahaman  Riad Arefin  Shamser Ali  Quamrul Hasan Mazumder 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2018,91(5):613-620

Demand for irrigation water increases day by day along with meteorological vagaries and extension of irrigated area in the drought-prone Barind area of Bangladesh. This increasing stress on water resource is gradually making the area water scare. The study is aimed at studying the morphometric parameters of the Atrai-Sib river basin in the Barind area and on their relevance in water resource management based on satellite images and SRTM DEM. Computation and delineation of linear and areal aspects of the river basin and its morphometric components reveals that stream order ranges from first to eighth order showing dendritic drainage pattern. The basin represents homogeneity of soil texture; possibility of flash flood after heavy rainfall with low discharge of runoff; and is not largely affected by structural disturbance. Moderate drainage density of the river basin area indicates semipermeable soil lithology with moderate vegetation. Mean bifurcation ratio of the basin is calculated as 3.92 and elongation ratio 0.75, which indicate elongated shape of the river basin with low to moderate relief bounded in the east and west by ‘moderate to steep’ sloping land area. It reveals a flatter peak of runoff flow for longer duration and gravity flow of water. The gentle but undulating slope of the basin represents ‘excellent’ category for groundwater management as the site is favorable for infiltration due to maximum time of runoff water percolation. The east facing slopes of the basin show higher moisture content and higher vegetation than the west-facing slope. The land use pattern of the area shows that major part (95.29%) comes under the cultivated land which will support future river basin development and management. Results obtained from the study would be useful in categorization of river basins for future water resource development and management, and selection of suitable sites for water conservation structures such as check dam, percolation tank, artificial recharge of groundwater through MAR technique etc.  相似文献   

Fault rupture and stress changes associated with the November 27, 2005 Qeshm Island (Iran) earthquake (<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Subscript>W</Subscript> = 6.0)     

Murat Utkucu  Serap Kizilbuğa  Hasan Arman 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(22):726

The November 27, 2005 Qeshm Island earthquake (M_w 6.0) occurred along the Zagros Thrust and Fold Belt which accommodates about half of the deformation caused by the Arabian and Eurasian Plates convergence. As typical for the belt, the earthquake was associated with buried reverse faulting and produced no surface rupture. Here, teleseismic broadband P velocity waveforms of the earthquake are inverted to obtain coseismic finite-fault slip distribution of the earthquake. It is obtained that rupture was controlled by failure of a single asperity with largest displacement of approximately 0.6 m, which occurred at a depth of 9 km. The slip model indicated radial rupture propagation from the hypocentre and confirmed blind reverse faulting within deeper part (below the depth of 6 km) of the sedimentary cover above the Hormuz Salt, lying between the cover and the basement, releasing a seismic moment of about 1.3?×?10¹⁸ Nm (M_W?=?6.0). The results also confirm that the Hormuz Salt behaves as a barrier for rupture propagation to the basement below and occurrence of the aftershock activity downdip from the rupture within the Hormuz Salt. Calculated Coulomb stress variations caused by the coseismic rupture indicates stress coupling between the 2005 Qeshm Island earthquake and both the largest aftershock several hours later and the 2008 Qeshm Island earthquake (M_W?=?5.9). The stress calculations further indicated stress load at the depth range (15–20 km) of the well-located aftershocks, corresponding to depths of the Hormuz Salt and top of the basement and providing plausible explanation for occurrence of the aftershocks within those layers.  相似文献
