A note on surface wind-driven flow     

Joseph M. Bishop 《Ocean Engineering》1979,6(3):273-284

A simple operationally oriented model of surface wind-driven currents is presented in which Lagrangian surface drift is assumed to be composed of a linear combination of a wave-induced Stokes drift plus a wind-driven Ekman drift. Using this approach, Stokes drift accounts for as much as half the total surface current magnitude. The Lagrangian current is predicted to be about 3.5% of the 10 m wind magnitude directed in the sense of an Ekman spiral about a 20° deviation angle. For comparison to this model, a second model is proposed that accounts for the interaction of Stokes current and Coriolis force. An inference drawn from this model is that there is only weak coupling between Coriolis force and Stokes drift. Such a conclusion, if correct, leads one to focus attention on the Lagrangian model for operationally oriented current estimates. Results of the Lagrangian model agree with observations of investigators for currents at the air-sea interface and may have application in the movement f oil slicks or surface drifters at sea under fetch or duration limited sea states.  相似文献

利用Delft3D数学模型对长江口水动力条件、上海市现有及拟建排放口污水排放的稀释扩散场进行了模拟。模型利用潮汐数据和排放口附近的现场实测数据进行了率定和验证，分别对丰水期、枯水期的大、小潮情况下的流速场、潮位场及污水扩散场进行了研究。结果表明：长江口的水动力条件有利于污水的稀释扩散；现状排放量对长江口水环境影响不大；但如果污水在排放前不进行一定的处理，规划排放量排人长江口将会严重恶化其水质，特别是枯水期小潮时最为严重。建议根据长江口和杭州湾的环境容量，结合排放口的稀释扩散能力，合理确定污水排放方案。  相似文献   

Seabed measurements of modern corrosion rates on the Florida escarpment     

Charles K. Paull  Robert F. Commeau  Joseph R. Curray  A. Conrad Neumann 《Geo-Marine Letters》1991,11(1):16-22

A mooring containing diverse carbonate and anhydrite substrates was exposed to bottom waters for 9 months at the base of the Florida Escarpment to determine the influence of dissolution on the development of this continental margin. Weight loss was measured on all samples. Etching, pitting, and loss of the original framework components were observed on substrates with known characteristics. Extrapolations of modern dissolution rates predict only about 1.6 meters of corrosion per million years. However, more rapid anhydrite dissolution, up to 1 km per million years, would cause exposed anhydrite beds to undercut and destabilize intercalated limestones.  相似文献

Simulating the impacts of groundwater pumping on stream–aquifer dynamics in semiarid northwestern Oklahoma,USA     

Joseph Zume  Aondover Tarhule 《Hydrogeology Journal》2008,16(4):797-810

Visual MODFLOW, a numerical groundwater flow model, was used to evaluate the impacts of groundwater exploitation on streamflow depletion in the Alluvium and Terrace aquifer of the Beaver-North Canadian River (BNCR) in northwestern Oklahoma, USA. Water demand in semi-arid northwestern Oklahoma is projected to increase by 53% during the next five decades, driven primarily by irrigation, public water supply, and agricultural demand. Using MODFLOW’s streamflow routing package, pumping-induced changes in baseflow and stream leakage were analyzed to estimate streamflow depletion in the BNCR system. Simulation results indicate groundwater pumping has reduced baseflow to streams by approximately 29% and has also increased stream leakage into the aquifer by 18% for a net streamflow loss of 47%. The magnitude and intensity of streamflow depletion, however, varies for different stream segments, ranging from 0 to 20,804 m³/d. The method provides a framework for isolating and quantifying impacts of aquifer pumping on stream function in semiarid alluvial environments.

Résumé  Visual MODFLOW, un modèle numérique d’écoulement des eaux souterraines, a été utilisé pour évaluer les impacts de l’exploitation de l’eau souterraine sur la réduction du régime de la rivière dans un aquifère d’alluvions et de terrasse de la Rivière canadienne Beaver-North (BNCR) au nord-ouest de l’Oklahoma, aux USA. La demande d’eau dans le nord-ouest semi-aride de l’Oklahoma devrait augmenter de 53% durant les cinq prochaines décennies, essentiellement du fait de l’irrigation, la demande en eau potable et la demande agricole. En utilisant le module numérique traitant les rivières dans MODFLOW, les changements sur le régime de base des cours d’eau induits par le pompage et la recharge par la rivière ont été analysés pour estimer la réduction du régime de la rivière du système BNCR. Les résultats de la simulation indiquent que le pompage de l’eau souterraine réduit le débit de base de la rivière de 18% pour une perte nette du débit de la rivière de 47%. L’importance et l’intensité de la réduction du débit de base, toutefois, varie selon le bief, de 0 à 20,840 m³/d. La méthode apporte un cadre pour isoler et quantifier les impacts sur le pompage de l’aquifère sur le fonctionnement de la rivière dans un environnement alluvial semi-aride.

Resumen  El Visual MODFLOW, que es un modelo numérico de flujo de agua subterránea, fue usado para evaluar los impactos de la explotación del agua subterránea, en la disminución de la cantidad de flujo de una corriente superficial, relacionada al acuífero del aluvión y de la terraza del Río canadiense Beaver-North (BNCR) en Oklahoma del noroeste, EUA. Se proyecta que la demanda de agua aumentará en un 53%, en el sector semiárido de Oklahoma del noroeste, durante las próximas cinco décadas, principalmente debido a la irrigación, suministro de agua público, y la demanda agrícola. Mediante el uso del paquete especial para relaciones corriente superficial- acuífero (SFR) de MODFLOW, se analizaron cambios inducidos por el bombeo, tanto en el flujo base, como en el goteo del río, para estimar la disminución del flujo de la corriente en el sistema de BNCR. Los resultados de la simulación indican, que el bombeo de agua subterránea ha reducido el flujo base a los arroyos aproximadamente en un 29% y también ha aumentado el goteo del arroyo hacia el acuífero en 18%, resultando una pérdida neta del flujo del río de un 47%. La magnitud e intensidad de la disminución del flujo del río, sin embargo, varía en sus diferentes segmentos, oscilando de 0 a 20,804 m³/d. El método suministra un marco, para aislar y cuantificar los impactos del bombeo del acuífero, sobre el funcionamiento de una corriente superficial en los ambientes aluviales semiáridos.

Climate change beliefs in an agricultural context: what is the role of values held by farming and non-farming groups?     

Matthew R. Sanderson  Jason S. Bergtold  Jessica L. Heier Stamm  Marcellus M. Caldas  Steven M. Ramsey  Joseph Aistrup 《Climatic change》2018,150(3-4):259-272

Climate change in many agricultural contexts will increase tensions between farming and non-farming populations over adaptations in land use and water conservation strategies. How adequately these future tensions may be mitigated will be partially determined by each groups' beliefs about climate change. A voluminous literature shows that climate change beliefs are crucial for understanding engagement with climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, and that values motivate climate change beliefs, but the role of values remains unclear, and comparisons of farming and non-farming populations are scant. We develop a model of climate change beliefs that integrates four main motivating factors - values, political ideology, knowledge, and worldview - and we explicitly compare members of farming and non-farming populations in an agricultural watershed in the Central Great Plains, USA. Our findings highlight the role of held values in motivating climate change beliefs and point to areas of potential consensus and tension within and among members of these two groups. The results provide an empirical basis for developing future climate change engagement strategies in contexts of growing divides and conflicts among farming and non-farming groups.  相似文献   

Scaling Agricultural Innovations: Pigeonpea in Malawi     

Brad G. Peter  Joseph P. Messina  April N. Frake  Sieglinde S. Snapp 《The Professional geographer》2018,70(2):239-250

Successful scaling of agricultural development strategies is fundamental to increased production and yields, yet targeting efforts frequently fail to fully consider the underlying biophysical drivers of agricultural marginality, particularly at fine spatial resolutions. We present a heuristic for intelligent targeting, utilizing remotely sensed information to identify the intersection between marginal conditions for performance of a staple crop and the optimal niche for technologies that improve crop performance. Here, we explore the geographic potential of maize diversification with pigeonpea, a crop with soil productivity enhancing properties. Overall, 79 percent of agricultural land in Malawi exhibits climate conditions optimal for pigeonpea cultivation and, in total, approximately 51 percent of Malawian maize-based farming is expected to receive some benefit from pigeonpea integration, with 9 percent receiving predictable and substantial benefits. These findings illustrate the geographic scaling potential of pigeonpea in Malawi and provide direction for informed pigeonpea deployment and market development across the country.  相似文献   

State-of-the-Art of Gas Hydrates and Relative Permeability of Hydrate Bearing Sediments     

J. Joseph  P. Kumar  S. K. Dewri  C. Tandi  J. Singh 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2016,34(5):450-464

The methane gas production potential from its hydrates, which are solid clathrates, with methane gas entrapped inside the water molecules, is primarily dependent on permeability characteristics of their bearing sediments. Moreover, the dissociation of gas hydrates, which results in a multi-phase fluid migration through these sediments, becomes mandatory to determine the relative permeability of both gaseous and aqueous fluids corresponding to different hydrate saturations. However, in this context, the major challenges are: (1) obtaining undisturbed in-situ samples bearing gas hydrates; and (2) maintenance of the thermodynamic conditions to counter hydrate dissociation. One of the ways to overcome this situation is synthesis of gas hydrates in laboratory conditions, followed by conducting permeability tests on them. In addition, empirical relationships that relate permeability of the gas hydrate bearing sediments to pore-structure characteristics (viz., pore size distribution and interconnectivity) can also be conceived. With this in view, a comprehensive review of the literature dealing with different techniques adopted by researchers for synthesis of gas hydrates, permeability tests conducted on the sediments bearing them, and analytical and empirical correlations employed for determination of permeability of these sediments was conducted and a brief account of the same is presented in this article.  相似文献
