Enhancement of on-board forecasting accuracy of GEO SC COG motion using the compensative transversal acceleration     

A. E. Evgrafov  A. E. Nazarov 《Solar System Research》2011,45(7):584-588

A method is suggested for enhancing the on-board forecasting accuracy of the COG motion of a GEO SC with a long time of independent operation. The suggested method consists of introducing so-called compensative transversal acceleration (CTA), along with zonal harmonics into the right sides of the differential equations of SC motion among other disturbances due to the Earth’s gravitational field eccentricity. The CTA compensates the integral effect of the sectoral and tesseral harmonics; its value is constant for a specified point of GEO SC location (standing point) and is calculated on the Earth from numerical integration of differential equations of motion taking into account the complete set of gravitational field harmonics. The CTA value is transmitted on-board of an SC as program command data. The method is implemented in algorithms of on-board forecasting of Electro-L SC motion and can be used to enhance the on-board forecasting accuracy of the COG motion of GEO SCs with a long time of independent operation.  相似文献   

Radiocarbon chronology of Holocene glacial and climatic events in southeastern Altai (Central Asia)     

A.R. Agatova  A.N. Nazarov  R.K. Nepop  L.A. Orlova 《Russian Geology and Geophysics》2012,53(6):546-565

The geomorphological studies and radiocarbon dating of moraine complexes and the tree line within the North Chuya Ridge, along with active slope processes, soil formation, and peat formation in southeastern Gorny Altai, constrain the age of the main glacial and climatic events in this area at 7 ka to the first half of the 19th century. It is for the first time in the history of Altai studies that 57 absolute dates were obtained for glaciation in a vast but climatically and neotectonically homogeneous area. The new data refute the conventional idea that the Holocene glaciation in this mountain land comprised eight stages of the gradual retreat of the Late Würm (Sartan) glaciation. Also, they evidence that glaciation in the upper parts of the troughs retreated almost completely no later than 7 ka and valley glaciers in southeastern Altai were activated many times in the second half of the Holocene. Data are given on the morphology and age of three moraine generations reflected in the topography. A combination of temperature minima and humidity maxima led to a catastrophically rapid and the largest (up to 5–6 km) ice advance at the Akkem Stage (4.9–4.2 ka). In addition to the radiocarbon data, the time limits of the Historical stage (2.3–1.7 ka) were defined more precisely using dendrochronological and archaeological data from Scythian burials of Pazyryk culture in SE Altai. The moraines closest to the present-day glaciers formed at the Aktru Stage (late 13th–middle 19th century). During warm interglacials, the glaciers waned considerably or retreated completely and the zone of recent glaciation was reforested. As a result of progressive aridization in the Holocene, the glaciers in southeastern Altai waned at each successive stage, and their mass balance was not positive during the greatest temperature minimum of the last millennium (middle 19th century).  相似文献   

BAM‐S005 Type A and B: New Silicate Reference Glasses for Microanalysis     

Qi‐Chao Yang  Klaus Peter Jochum  Brigitte Stoll  Ulrike Weis  Dmitry Kuzmin  Michael Wiedenbeck  Heike Traub  Meinrat O. Andreae 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2012,36(3):301-313

To test whether the silicate reference glasses BAM‐S005‐A and BAM‐S005‐B from BAM (The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Germany) are suitable materials for microanalysis, we investigated the homogeneity of these reference glasses using the microanalytical techniques EPMA, LA‐ICP‐MS and SIMS. Our study indicated that all major and most trace elements are homogeneously distributed at micrometre sampling scale in both types of glass. However, some trace elements (e.g., Cs, Cl, Cr, Mo and Ni) seem to be inhomogeneously distributed. We also determined the composition of BAM‐S005‐A and BAM‐S005‐B. The EPMA data of major elements confirmed the information values specified by the certificate. With the exception of Sr, Ba, Ce and Pb, our trace element data by LA‐ICP‐MS were also in agreement with the certified values within the stated uncertainty limits. The reasons for the discrepancy in these four elements are still unclear. In addition, we report new data for twenty‐two further trace elements, for which the concentrations were not certified. Based on our investigation, we suggest that both of these materials are suitable for many microanalytical applications.  相似文献

What can we hope to know about the symmetry properties of stellar magnetic fields?     

David Moss  Steven H. Saar  Dmitry Sokoloff 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2008,388(1):416-420

We summarize evidence that neither dynamo theory nor the observational data give strong support to the idea that stellar magnetic fields must have dipolar rather than quadrupolar symmetry with respect to the stellar equator. We demonstrate that even the most basic model for magnetic stellar activity, i.e. the Parker migratory dynamo, provides many possibilities for the excitation of large-scale stellar magnetic fields of non-dipolar symmetry. We demonstrate the spontaneous transition of the dynamo-excited magnetic field from one symmetry type to another. We explore observational tests to distinguish between the two types of magnetic field symmetry, and thus detect the presence of quadrupolar magnetic symmetry in stars. Complete absence of quadrupolar symmetry would present a distinct challenge for contemporary stellar dynamo theory. We revisit some observations which, depending on further clarification, may already be revealing some properties of the quadrupolar component of the magnetic fields generated by stellar dynamos.  相似文献   

Interaction of surface waves at very close wavenumbers     

Alexander V. Babanin  Anna V. Babanina  Dmitry Chalikov 《Ocean Dynamics》2014,64(7):1019-1023

We show that interaction of two monochromatic waves at the water surface enters a different dynamic regime if their wavenumbers become very close. The study is conducted by means of a fully nonlinear wave model. In the course of evolution of the two waves, downshifting of the initial wave energy and growth of the first mode occur depending on wave steepness and dk/k. Behaviour of these features changes if dk/k?<?0.0025: both downshifting and growth rate become independent of dk/k, accompanied by rapid transfer of wave energy to large scales.  相似文献   

Numerical modeling of 3D fully nonlinear potential periodic waves   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Dmitry Chalikov  Alexander V. Babanin  Elena Sanina 《Ocean Dynamics》2014,64(10):1469-1486

A simple and exact numerical scheme for long-term simulations of 3D potential fully nonlinear periodic gravity waves is suggested. The scheme is based on the surface-following nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. Velocity potential is represented as a sum of analytical and nonlinear components. The Poisson equation for the nonlinear component of velocity potential is solved iteratively. Fourier transform method, the second-order accuracy approximation of vertical derivatives on a stretched vertical grid and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta time stepping are used. The scheme is validated by simulation of steep Stokes waves. A one-processor version of the model for PC allows us to simulate evolution of a wave field with thousands degrees of freedom for hundreds of wave periods. The scheme is designed for investigation of nonlinear 2D surface waves, generation of extreme waves, and direct calculations of nonlinear interactions.  相似文献   

Eigen analysis of tree-ring records: part 2, posing the eigen problem     

Bao Yang  Dmitry M. Sonechkin  Nina M. Datsenko  Nadezda N. Ivashchenko  Jingjing Liu  Chun Qin 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2012,107(1-2):131-141

The technique of expanding meteorological fields on eigenvectors of the field covariation matrix is popular. In this paper, we propose for the first time to use a mathematically similar technique to solve the main problem of dendrochronology: classifying variations in tree-ring records as either age- and microenvironment-dependent or climate-induced. Applying this technique to a sample of very long-lived Qilian junipers (Sabina przewalskii Kom.) from the Dulan region in western China, we demonstrate that the ring-width variations projected on the first eigenvector are age-dependent, but those projected on several of the first subsequent vectors are mainly climate-induced. In particular, the second and third projections capture multi-centennial climatic variations, and the variations projected on the fourth through seventh eigenvectors show periodic variations that are probably induced by the 178-year solar cycle. The projections on the smallest eigenvectors seem to be negligible.  相似文献   

Spectroscopic constraints on growth of Siberian mixed-habit diamonds     

Sergei?Yu.?SkuzovatovEmail author  Dmitry?A.?Zedgenizov  Alexander?L.?Rakevich 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2017,172(6):46

Notable within-crystal variability of mineralogical and geochemical properties of single natural diamonds are commonly attributed to changing chemistry of parental fluids, sources of carbon and redox conditions of diamond precipitation. A distinct type of compositional heterogeneity (mixed-habit structure) is well-known to occur in diamonds as well as in many other minerals due to purely “structural” reasons that are unequal crystal chemistry of crystallographically different faces and selective absorption and fractionation of impurities between adjacent growth pyramids. Based on the combined cathodoluminescence, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy, study of nine diamond crystals with different growth histories and external morphology, but all showing mixed-habit patterns at different growth stages, we show that mixed-diamonds may grow in closed system conditions or with a slowly decreasing growth rate from a media with a much lower impurity content than previously thought. Intracrystal nitrogen distribution seems to be a function of growth rate even in the cases of unusual impurity partitioning between growth sectors. Generally poor with IR-active hydrogen at moderate nitrogen aggregation parameters, studied diamonds likely resemble the low hydrogen content from the growth medium that, for cubic diamonds, was typically suggested hydrogen-rich and a crucial factor for growth of cubic and mixed-habit diamonds. We also show that mixed-habit diamond growth may occur not only in peridotitic suite but also in an extended field of geochemical affinities from high-Ni to low-Ni or maybe even Ni-free environments, such as pyroxenitic or eclogitic.  相似文献
