Equivalent thickness of the outer ionosphere obtained by evaluation of Faraday records     

E. Argence  R. Eyfrig  H. A. Hess  A. Paul  K. Rawer 《Planetary and Space Science》1963,11(12):1431-1457

With an appropriate system of higher order approximations the Faraday-effect is calculated for instantaneous ionospheric models the data of which are derived from the results of vertical soundings. Only one parameter which corresponds to the thickness of the outer ionosphere is left open; it is determined by global comparison with simultaneous Faraday-observations of satellite emissions. The thickness parameter shows various forms of variation with latitude; an increase towards north is the rule for quiet daytime conditions. Comparison with local methods shows considerable differences due to the indetermination of the absolute number of rotations.  相似文献   

Note on the propagation of waves from a spherical cavity in an infinite solid     

S. K. Chakraborty  A. B. Roy 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1965,60(1):23-28

Summary The present note, as its title implies, is concerned with the investigation of disturbances in an infinite elastic medium containing an initial magnetic field in the axial direction. The equations ofMaxwell, those of elasticity have been effectively made use of to solve the problem.  相似文献   

IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING PROBLEM AREAS IN SOIL EROSION SURVEYS USING AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS     

R. G. B. Jones  M. A. Keech 《The Photogrammetric Record》1966,5(27):189-197

Gully erosion has for many years been a problem in Rhodesia1s Tribal Trust Lands. This paper describes how Soil Conservation Service staff, with no previous ground knowledge of these areas, used good quality 1/25,000 scale aerial photographs to measure the extent of the gully erosion and to pinpoint erosion “black spots.” This enabled quick and reliable estimates of the cost of reclamation work to be made without the need for time-consuming field survey. The survey method discussed is capable of wide application wherever gully erosion occurs and needs to be brought under control.  相似文献   

SUPER-WIDE ANGLE PHOTOGRAPHY AND ITS APPLICATION WITH VARIOUS TECHNIQUES     

J. A. Eden 《The Photogrammetric Record》1966,5(27):150-169

Some of the advantages and disadvantages of super-wide angle photography are discussed. Special reference is made to photography of an area in Bechuanaland, when airborne profile recorder and horizon camera were used in conjunction with aerial photography. Data from these ancillary aids were used in the subsequent adjustment procedure. The paper concludes with an account of analytical bridging using super-wide angle photography and a monocomparator.  相似文献

Ion-exchange reactions on clay minerals and cation selective membrane properties as possible mechanisms of economic metal concentration     

A. Weiss  G. C. Amstutz 《Mineralium Deposita》1966,1(1):60-66

A series of exploratory experiments on the concentration of base metals through ion exchange reactions on clay minerals show promising results. The extraction of Pb, Zn and Cd from bentonite, illite, kaolinite and montmorillonite was successful and megascopic quantities of PbS, CdS and ZnS could be obtained at specific loci, depending essentially on the flow velocity, and the other cations present. These or similar exchange reactions are tentatively proposed as possible mechanisms of economic metal concentration during diagenesis.

Zusammenfassung Es werden experimentelle Resultate zur Anreicherung von Schwermetallen durch Tonminerale (Montmorillonite, Illite und Kaolinite) mitgeteilt. Eine erste Anreicherung kann über den Kationenaustausch bewirkt werden. In dem darauffolgenden zweiten, sehr viel wirksameren Schritt werden die Schwermetallionen aus den Tonlagern extrahiert und in deren Nähe als schwerlösliche Sulfide oder Carbonate gefällt. Die Extraktion beruht darauf, daß Tonschichten als Kationen-permeable Membranen wirken können. Sie wird von der Art der Tonminerale und der Kationen, den Lösungsgenossen, den Konzentrationsverhältnissen, dem pH-Wert, der Reaktionstemperatur, dem Porenvolumen und der Porenverteilung im Sediment beeinflußt.

Climatic satellite monitoring of the external heat balance of the oceans and Black Sea     

N. A. Timofeev  A. V. Yurovskii 《Physical Oceanography》2007,17(6)

The long-wave outgoing radiation, effective cloudiness equal to the product of the total cloud amount by their optical density, and the sea-surface temperature determined from the satellites are used to determine the annual course of the components of external heat balance on the sea surface whose climatic anomalies, parallel with the meridional heat and water transfer in the ocean-atmosphere system, specify the intraannual and interannual large-scale variations of weather in different regions of the Earth. The development of these studies is connected with the progress of satellite hydrophysics because the data obtained from the space become sufficiently exact, regular, and global. The increase in the existing data array on the external heat balance of the oceans from ∼15–20 to 100 yr and more would promote the solution of the problem of oscillations of Earth's climate. We present examples of coordinated numerical analysis of the heat balance of the upper (0–100 m ) layer of the Black Sea performed on the basis of the shipborne and satellite data. __________ Translated from Morskoi Gidrofizicheskii Zhurnal, No. 6, pp. 59–75, November–December, 2007.  相似文献   

Isotopic variation of fishes in freshwater and estuarine zones of a large subtropical coastal lagoon     

A.M. Garcia  D.J. Hoeinghaus  J.P. Vieira  K.O. Winemiller 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2007,73(3-4):399-408

We used stable C and N isotope ratios of tissues from 29 fish species from a large subtropical lagoon in southern Brazil to examine spatial variability in isotopic composition and vertical trophic structure across freshwater and estuarine habitats. Nitrogen isotope ratios indicated a smooth gradation in trophic positions among species, with most fishes occupying the secondary and tertiary consumer level. Fish assemblages showed a significant shift in their carbon isotopic signatures between freshwater and estuarine sites. Depleted carbon signatures (from −24.7‰ to −17.8‰) were found in freshwater, whereas more enriched signatures (from −19.1‰ to −12.3‰) were obtained within the estuarine zone downstream. Based on our survey of the C₃ and C₄ plants and isotopic values for phytoplankton and benthic microalgae reported for ecosystems elsewhere, we hypothesized that the observed δ¹³C differences in the fish assemblage between freshwater and estuarine sites is due to a shift from assimilating organic matter ultimately derived from C₃ freshwater marsh vegetation and phytoplankton at the freshwater site (δ¹³C ranging from −25‰ to −19‰), to C₄ salt-marsh (e.g. Spartina) and widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima), benthic microalgae and marine phytoplankton at the estuarine sites (from −18‰ to −12‰). Our results suggested that fish assemblages are generally supported by autochthonous primary production. Freshwater fishes that likely were displaced downstream into the estuary during periods of high freshwater discharge had depleted δ¹³C values that were characteristic of the upper lagoon. These results suggest that spatial foodweb subsidies can occur within the lagoon.  相似文献

Observations of a fast burst of the deep western boundary undercurrent and sediment transport in South Wilmington Canyon from DSRVAlvin     

Stephen J. Culver  Charlotte A. Brunner  Charles A. Nittrouer 《Geo-Marine Letters》1988,8(3):159-165

On October 3 and 4, 1986, DSRVAlvin dives encountered a strong current at 2,300 m in South Wilmington Canyon. The current, estimated at 1 knot, transported surficial sediment and constructed and modified bedforms. It appears to have been constant in its direction of flow from 30 to 40°. The observed current was probably a burst of fast flow in a region of slow average currents in the Deep Western Boundary Undercurrent. Such episodic events may have a greater influence on the stratigraphic record than the temporally longer more tranquil flow conditions.  相似文献
