We report on our statistical research of space–time correlated supernovae and CGRO-BATSE gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). There exists a significantly higher abundance of core-collapse supernovae among the correlated supernovae, but the subset of all correlated objects does not seem to be physically different from the whole set.  相似文献   

Uplift at thermo-mechanically coupled ocean–continent transforms: Modeled at the Senja Fracture Zone, southwestern Barents Sea     

E. Va˚gnes 《Geo-Marine Letters》1997,17(1):100-109

 Estimates of uplift at ocean–continent transform margins vary significantly between models incorporating both thermal conduction and viscous coupling across the transform and models taking only one of these processes into account. More heat is predicted to be conducted and advected into the continental lithosphere in combined models than in conductive models. Nevertheless, tectonic uplift predicted by the combined models is only half that predicted conductive models. This is because viscous coupling implies crustal thinning close to the transform. The form and amplitude of uplift in the combined models agree well with erosion estimates along a seismic transect across the Senja shear margin, in the southwestern Barents Sea.

The Huelva (Spain) Tsunami-Ready Station and Its Interaction with Storm Emma (March 2018)

Abstract

The sea level station operating since 1996 at Mazagón (Huelva, Spain) has been progressively upgraded to fit tsunami warning requirements, due to its location in one of the main regions at risk. Its radar water level sensor was complemented in 2017, with the addition of a pressure sensor. The performance of both sea level sensors and their response to sea level oscillations, at different frequencies, is assessed. Particular emphasis is put on the effect of extreme events, such as Storm Emma, when alternative methods to obtain 1-min data are tested, in contrast to the one based on arithmetic means. The overall differences are small, for the whole period of study (centered-root-mean-square-error below 1?cm, for 5-min, and hourly data; similar tidal parameters and sea level oscillations with periods between 30?s and 5?min). However, during Storm Emma, the pressure sensor presents sensibly lower readings than the radar, with the centered-root-mean-square-error rising to 80?mm on the March 2^nd 2018. A new method to compute 1-min data, based on medians, reduced this value to 10?mm for the same day.  相似文献   

Trace metals and hydrocarbons in sediments from the Southampton water region,with particular reference to the influence of oil refinery effluent     

H. Ármannsson  J.D. Burton  G.B. Jones  A.H. Knap 《Marine environmental research》1985,15(1):31-44

The concentrations of a number of trace metals (Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd and Hg) have been determined in sediments from cores collected in the Southampton Water region. Measurements of total hydrocarbons were also made on several of the cores. Markedly elevated concentrations of copper, up to 362 μg/g dry wt, were found in sediments which were collected close to the discharge points of oil refinery outfalls and which also showed concentrations of total hydrocarbons considerably greater than the background levels for the estuary. The results of selective chemical extractions showed that much of the copper was present in the non-lattice fraction of the sediment. Although the concentrations of Co, Ni, Zn and Cd were significantly correlated with those of copper in the core showing the highest concentrations of this element, these metals were not enhanced in comparison with the levels found in several other parts of the estuary. Variations in concentrations of metals in sediments throughout the estuary were not correlated with differences in organic carbon content.  相似文献   

Once more on quasar periodicities     

Ágnes Holba  I. Horváth  B. Lukács  G. Paál 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1994,222(1-2):65-83

In an earlier paper Arp, Bi, Chu and Zhu investigated various quasar samples and recognized a periodicity of remarkable degree in them. Their conclusion was that the existence of such a periodicity is a counterevidence against the cosmological origin of quasar redshifts. Since this question is of great importance in a cosmological context, here we reanalyze some of the samples together with a galaxy sample of the pencil-beam survey of Broadhurstet al. Our result is that on the plane of cosmological parameters (₀, ₀) there is a non-negligible region where two quasar samples and the galaxy sample are simultaneously fairly periodic. Pure periodicity is still compatible with cosmological principles, at least on length scales much longer than the period length. So the regularities can fit into a cosmological context.  相似文献   

Genesis of high Mg# andesites and the continental crust   总被引：38，自引：2，他引：36  

Peter B. Kelemen 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1995,120(1):1-19

The continental crust has an andesitic composition with high Mg/(Mg+Fe) and Ni contents which may be too high to have formed by differentiation of basaltic magmas. Instead, mantle-derived, high Mg# andesites (HMA) may form a substantial component of the crust. HMA may be produced by partial melting of previously depleted, subsequently metasomatised mantle peridotite. However, they are more likely produced by reaction between ascending melts and mantle peridotite. HMA are less common than basalts among lavas in modern island arcs, but may have been more common in the past, may be produced in specific environments (such as ridge subduction), may be more common among plutonic rocks in the lower and middle crust than among lavas at the surface, and may be selectively preserved during later erosion and subduction processes.  相似文献   

Motions in the solar atmosphere associated with the white light flare of 11 July 1978     

L. Dezső  Lidia Gesztelyi  L. Kondás  Ágnes Kovács  S. Rostás 《Solar physics》1980,67(2):317-338

Series of white light heliograms and oft- and on-band H filtergrams have been obtained, with an average spatial resolution of 1, to study the flare active McMath region 15403 on 11 July, 1978. A great number of accurate heliographic positions were determined for the umbrae, the white light flare patches and several bright H flare knots, as well as along the principal zero filament and an arch prominence. Using the measured heliographic coordinates of these objects their motions could be analyzed in some detail. The velocities of several different objects could be deduced from the coordinates. Since the heliocentric angle of the region was about 45°, the variation in apparent heliographic coordinates also enabled some variations in heights to be determined.It is pointed out that the flare when fully developed, consisted almost entirely of loops. The zero filament which was activated prior to the flare ran between two umbrae of common penumbra and opposite polarity, one belonging to an old, the other to a new spot group. The white light flare developed on both sides of the filament where it passed between these two umbrae; it was also the place where the flare started. Observational evidence appears to indicate that the erupted filament re-formed from below.An indication has been found that there was a link between the motion of some umbrae and the major flare occurrence.  相似文献   

Effect of sampling and linkage on fault length and length–displacement relationship     

S-S. Xu  A. F. Nieto-Samaniego  S. A. Alaniz-Álvarez  L. G. Velasquillo-Martínez 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2006,95(5):841-853

The power-law exponent (n) in the equation: D=cL ⁿ , with D = maximum displacement and L = fault length, would be affected by deviations of fault trace length. (1) Assuming n=1, numerical simulations on the effect of sampling and linkage on fault length and length–displacement relationship are done in this paper. The results show that: (a) uniform relative deviations, which means all faults within a dataset have the same relative deviation, do not affect the value of n; (b) deviations of the fault length due to unresolved fault tip decrease the values of n and the deviations of n increase with the increasing length deviations; (c) fault linkage and observed dimensions either increase or decrease the value of n depending on the distribution of deviations within a dataset; (d) mixed deviations of the fault lengths are either negative or positive and cause the values of n to either decrease or increase; (e) a dataset combined from two or more datasets with different values of c and orders of magnitude also cause the values of n to deviate. (2) Data including 19 datasets and spanning more than eight orders of fault length magnitudes (10⁻²–10⁵ m) collected from the published literature indicate that the values of n range from 0.55 to 1.5, the average value being 1.0813, and the peak value of n _d (double regression) is 1.0–1.1. Based on above results from the simulations and published data, we propose that the relationship between the maximum displacement and fault length in a single tectonic environment with uniform mechanical properties is linear, and the value of n deviated from 1 is mainly caused by the sampling and linkage effects.  相似文献   

Consequences of diffuse and channelled porous melt migration on uranium series disequilibria     

M Jull  P.B Kelemen  K Sims 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2002,66(23):4133-4148

Magmas erupted at mid-ocean ridges (MORB) result from decompression melting of upwelling mantle. However, the mechanism of melt transport from the source region to the surface is poorly understood. It is debated whether melt is transported through melt-filled conduits or cracks on short time scales (<∼ 10³ yrs), or whether there is a significant component of slow, equilibrium porous flow on much longer time scales (>∼ 10³-10⁴ yrs). Radiogenic excess ²²⁶Ra in MORB indicates that melt is transported from the melting region on time scales less than the half life of ²²⁶Ra (∼1600 yrs), and has been used to argue for fast melt transport from the base of the melting column. However, excess ²²⁶Ra can be generated at the bottom of the melt column, during the onset of melting, and at the top of the melt column by reactive porous flow. Determining the depth at which ²²⁶Ra is generated is critical to interpreting the rate and mechanism of magma migration. A recent compilation of high quality U-series isotope data show that in many young basalts, ²²⁶Ra excess in MORB is negatively correlated with ²³⁰Th excess. The data suggest that ²²⁶Ra excess is generated independently of ²³⁰Th excess, and cannot be explained by “dynamic” or fractional melting, where observed radiogenic excesses are all generated at the base of the melt column. One explanation is that the negative correlation of activity ratios is a result of mixing of slow moving melt that has travelled through reactive, low-porosity pathways and relatively fast moving melt that has been transported in unreactive high-porosity channels. We investigate this possibility by calculating U-series disequilibria in a melting column in which high-porosity, unreactive channels form within a low-porosity matrix that is undergoing melting. The results show that the negative correlation of ²²⁶Ra and ²³⁰Th excesses observed in MORB can be produced if ∼60% of the total melt flux travels through the low-porosity matrix. This melt maintains ²²⁶Ra excesses via chromatographic fractionation of Ra and Th during equilibrium transport. Melt that travels through the unreactive, high-porosity channels is not able to maintain significant ²²⁶Ra excesses because Ra and Th are not fractionated from each other during transport and the transport time for melt in the channels to reach the top of the melt column is longer than the time scale for ²²⁶Ra excesses to decay. Mixing of melt from the high porosity channels with melt from the low-porosity matrix at the top of the melting column can produce a negative correlation of ²²⁶Ra and ²³⁰Th excesses with the slope and magnitude observed in MORB. This transport process can also account for other aspects of the geochemistry of MORB, such as correlations between La/Yb, α_Sm/Nd, and Th/U and ²²⁶Ra and ²³⁰Th excess.  相似文献
