The Harvest Experiment: Monitoring Jason-1 and TOPEX/POSEIDON from a California Offshore Platform     

Bruce J. Haines  Danan Dong  George H. Born  Stephen K. Gill 《Marine Geodesy》2003,26(3):239-259

We present calibration results from Jason-1 (2001-) and TOPEX/POSEIDON (1992-) overflights of a California offshore oil platform (Harvest). Data from Harvest indicate that current Jason-1 sea-surface height (SSH) measurements are high by 138 ± 18 mm. Excepting the bias, the high accuracy of the Jason-1 measurements is in evidence from the overflights. In orbit for over 10 years, the T/P measurement system is well calibrated, and the SSH bias is statistically indistinguishable from zero. Also reviewed are over 10 years of geodetic results from the Harvest experiment.  相似文献

Evaluation of ecotoxicological effects of endocrine disrupters during a four-year survey of the Mediterranean population of swordfish (Xiphias gladius)

In this project we investigated the ecotoxicological effects of endocrine disrupters in a four-year survey of the Mediterranean population of swordfish (Xiphias gladius). In the Mediterranean environment, top predators, such as swordfish, accumulate high concentrations of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs) and toxic metals, potentially incurring high toxicological risk. The effects of organochlorines and trace elements (Hg, Cd and Pb) in 192 swordfish specimens, caught in the Strait of Messina, Sicily, Italy, were investigated using vitellogenin (Vtg), zona radiata proteins (Zrp) and CYP1A (BPMO, EROD) activities. Vtg and Zrp were found to be dramatically induced in some adult male specimens, suggesting that this species is highly exposed to estrogens in the Mediterranean Sea. A role of organochlorines in this induction phenomenon is suggested by the statistically significant correlations between Zrp in plasma and PCB concentrations in muscle (p<0.032) and Vtg in plasma and PCB concentrations in liver (p<0.034) of male specimens. Levels of trace elements in liver were in the following ranges: Hg 1–22, Cd 1–28 and Pb 0–1.6 ppm d.w. These data indicate potential reproductive alterations in large pelagic fish and suggest the need for continuous monitoring to avoid reductions in the population of this fish species of high commercial and ecological interest.  相似文献

A SIMPLE PROGNOSTIC CLOSURE ASSUMPTION TO DEEP CONVECTIVE PARAMETERIZATION:I          下载免费PDF全文

Chen Dehui  Philippe Bougeault 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1993,7(1):1-18

In this work,the problem of dependency of the predicted rainfall upon the grid-size in mesoscale numerical weatherprediction models is addressed.We argue that this problem is due to (i) the violation of the quasi-equilibrium assump-tion,which is underlying most existing convective parameterization schemes,and states that the convective activity maybe considered in instantaneous equilibrium with the larger-scale forcing;and (ii) the violation of the hydrostatic approx-imation,made in most mesoscale models,which would induce too large-scale circulation in occurrence of strong con-vection.On the contrary,meso-β and meso-α scale models,i.e.models with horizontal grid size ranging from 10 to 100km,have a capacity to resolve motions with characteristic scales close to the ones of the convective motions.Wehypothesize that a possible way to eliminate this problem is (i) to take a prognostic approach to the parameterization ofdeep convection,whereby the quantities that describe the activity of convection are no longer diagnosed from the instan-taneous value of the large-scale forcing,but predicted by time-dependent equations,that integrate the large-scale forc-ing over time;(ii)to introduce a mesoscale parameter which varies systematically with the grid size of the numericalmodel in order to damp large-scale circulation usually too induced when the grid size becomes smaller (from 100 km to10 kin).We propose an implementation of this idea in the frame of one existing scheme,already tested and used for along time at the French Weather Service.The results of the test through one-dimensional experiments with the Phase Ⅲof GATE data are reported in this paper;and the ones on its implementation in the three-dimensional model with theOSCAR data will be reported in a companion paper.  相似文献

Chen Dehui  Philippe Bougeault 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1993,7(2):212-223

A series of 3D predictions,dealing with the development of a heavy storm observed during the OSCAR experiment,were carried out by utilizing the PERIDOT model,and introducing alternatively the cumulus parameterization scheme of Bougeault (1985) and the prognostic one (Chen,1989;Chen and Bougeault,1993),with three different grid sizes:160 km,80 km,40 km.The feasibility of the new prognostic scheme and its improvement on the problem of dependency of the predicted rainfall upon the grid size of the numerical model were verified by comparison of the rainfall observed and those predicted.The results demonstrate that,in general,the predicted rainfall increases when the grid size decreases for both diagnostic and prognostic schemes.However,with the new prognostic scheme,the numerical model is capable,on the one hand,for the larger grid sizes,to increase the rainfall,which is under-estimated with the scheme of Bougeault (1985);on the another hand,for the smaller grid sizes,to reduce the rainfall,which is usually over-estimated.In other word,there is an obvious improvement on the problem under study.  相似文献
