The water vapour continuum is characterised by absorption that varies smoothly with wavelength, from the visible to the microwave. It is present within the rotational and vibrational–rotational bands of water vapour, which consist of large numbers of narrow spectral lines, and in the many ‘windows’ between these bands. The continuum absorption in the window regions is of particular importance for the Earth’s radiation budget and for remote-sensing techniques that exploit these windows. Historically, most attention has focused on the 8–12?μm (mid-infrared) atmospheric window, where the continuum is relatively well-characterised, but there have been many fewer measurements within bands and in other window regions. In addition, the causes of the continuum remain a subject of controversy. This paper provides a brief historical overview of the development of understanding of the continuum and then reviews recent developments, with a focus on the near-infrared spectral region. Recent laboratory measurements in near-infrared windows, which reveal absorption typically an order of magnitude stronger than in widely used continuum models, are shown to have important consequences for remote-sensing techniques that use these windows for retrieving cloud properties. 相似文献

Numerical schemes for the calculation of photolysis rates are usually employed in simulations of stratospheric chemistry. Here, we present an improvement of the treatment of the diffuse actinic flux in a widely used stratospheric photolysis scheme (Lary and Pyle, 1991). We discuss both the consequences of this improvement and the correction of an error present in earlier applications of this scheme on the calculation of stratospheric photolysis frequencies. The strongest impact of both changes to the scheme is for small solar zenith angles. The effect of the improved treatment of the diffuse flux is most pronounced in the lower stratosphere and in the troposphere. Overall, the change in the calculated photolysis frequencies in the region of interest in the stratosphere is below about 20%, although larger deviations are found for H2O, O2, NO, N2O, and HCl. 相似文献

There is a gap between the increased scientific understanding of carbon pools and fluxes at individual trees/stand and that
of forested landscape with complex structures (i.e. variety of species, age classes, site characteristic and management practices).
The question about how results generated from a simulated physiologically distinct individual(s)/stands grown at a particular
location (scale) can be extrapolated (scaling) across a diverse population in time and space with diverse environments, has
been troubling scientists for many years. Scale and scaling present three problems in common: (a) spatial heterogeneity, (b)
non-linearity in response and (c) disturbance regimes. Scale, in particular, presents other three problems: (d) threshold
scale for processes, (e) dominant processes with scales and (f) emerging properties of the system. Scaling presents problems
with (g) feedbacks between plants and environment and (h) plant interactions. The present study proposes a modeling framework
linking a process-based model SECRETS – to overcome some of the scale and scaling problems (a, b, c, d and g) – to a C accounting
model GORCAM – to integrate the effects of C stock in wood products and from fossil fuel substitution. The capabilities of
the modeling framework are tested against three theoretical complex forested landscapes that combine some of the five following
scenarios: existing multifunctional forest under (1) actual and (2) changing environmental conditions, and afforestation of
an agricultural area with (3) a new multifunctional forest or with (4) a short rotation coppice (poplar) or with (5) an agricultural
crop (miscanthus) for bioenergy production. Forest reserves calculations are included for completeness of the landscape C
balance and as reference. Results, on the one hand, suggest that the framework is able to simulate C sequestration and stock
in ecosystem pools, wood products and fossil fuel substitution of the scenarios under actual environmental conditions. However,
comparison of results under changing environmental conditions, against specific plant literature suggest SECRETS formulation
must be improved with recent development in photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and N balances. On the other hand, results
also suggest that under actual environmental conditions, the optimum landscape scenario to sequester C and avoid fossil emissions
to the atmosphere is composed by existing multifunctional forest, reserves and afforestation with short rotation coppice for
bioenergy production. 相似文献

This work proposes a methodology to obtain from the soils properties the best prediction model for the California bearing ratio index. The methodology proposes three different prediction techniques: (1) the multiple linear regression, a classical parametric technique; and two non-parametric techniques: (2) the local polynomial regression (LPR) and (3) the radial basis network. The LPR is a known statistical method, but in the geotechnical engineering field is not in common use. Besides, although several research works have been published in this field, they do not include a robust procedure for making good comparison between different models. Here, a cross validation method is proposed with this aim. A data set of 96 samples from Peruvian soils is used to illustrate the methodology. To validate the proposed methodology, a data set from the literature is also analyzed. 相似文献

Distributed hydrologic models are an integral component of spatial decision support systems for watershed management. At these basin (and larger) scales, a common problem in hydrology and other environmental sciences arises from the need to cope with the increasingly sophisticated models and software tools that are used in the management, processing, and analysis of large volumes of data collected from advanced in situ and remote monitoring instruments. The diversity of these tools, and the need for experts and non-experts alike to be able to easily use them, suggests a non-trivial integration problem of building customized systems from disparate (and in many cases proprietary) components. In this paper we address the systems integration problem within the context of a study of surface-subsurface-atmosphere interactions involving soil moisture remote sensing and hydrologic simulation. The simple early steps that were taken highlight the role of the different components and tools in the integration effort. An alternative approach is presented for creating an integrated system, based on a data flow model with the modular components linked within a flexible framework. An example is developed based on established systems integration techniques from the field of computer aided design. 相似文献

On the basis of data obtained by the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) box model calculations are performed to investigate the ozone budget in the upper stratosphere. The HALOE data comprise measurements of major source gases and key chemical species involved in the ozone destruction cycles. In comparison to earlier calculations using version 17 of the HALOE data, the calculated ozone destruction rate increases when the updated data version 18 is used. However, as with the previous study using version 17 of the HALOE data, no evidence for a significant model ozone deficit is found. 相似文献

Five bryozoan species were encountered in a 15‐day survey of freshwater habitats in New Zealand. Listed in order of decreasing frequency these were: Fredericella sultana, Plumatella repens, P. emarginata, Paludicella articulata, and one plumatellid species not previously described. Micro‐structural features of the floatoblast annulus separate the P. repens specimens into two distinct varieties, named here P. repens typica and P. repens rugosa. Paludicella, reported almost 100 years ago from the City of Dunedin waterworks, was still found only in a single reservoir of that city. Species distribution did not correlate significantly with water temperature, current velocity, pH, or total dissolved solids. Two additional species believed to occur in New Zealand, Fredericella australiensis and Plumatella fungosa, were not seen in this brief survey. An identification key is provided for New Zealand bryozoans. 相似文献

A three-step methodology to assess the carbon sequestration and the environmental impact of afforestation projects in the
framework of the Flexible Mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol (Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism) was developed
and tested using a dataset collected from the Jonkershoek forest plantation, Western Cape, South Africa, which was established
with Pinus radiata in former native fynbos vegetation and indigenous forest. The impact of a change in land use was evaluated for a multifunctional,
a production and a non-conversion scenario. First, the carbon balance was modelled with GORCAM and was expressed as (1) C
sequestration in tC ha−1 year−1 in soil, litter, and living biomass according to the rules of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, and (2)
CO2 emission reductions in tC ha−1 year−1, which includes carbon sequestered in the above-mentioned pools and additionally in wood products, as well as emission reductions
due to fossil fuel substitution. To estimate forest growth, three data sources were used: (1) inventory data, (2) growth simulation
with a process-based model, and (3) yield tables. Second, the effects of land use change were assessed for different project
scenarios using a method related to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The method uses 17 quantitative indicators to describe the
impact of project activities on water, soil, vegetation cover and biodiversity. Indicator scores were calculated by comparing
indicator values with reference values, estimated for the climax vegetation. The climax vegetation is the site-specific ecosystem
phase with the highest exergy content and the highest exergy flow dissipation capacity. Third, the land use impact per functional
unit of 1 tC sequestered was calculated by combining the results of step 1 and step 2. The average baselines to obtain carbon
additionality are 476 tC ha−1 for indigenous forest and 32 tC ha−1 for fynbos. Results show that the influence of the growth assessment method on the magnitude of C sequestration and hence
on the environmental impact per functional unit is large. When growth rate is assessed with the mechanistic model and with
the yield table, it is overestimated in the early years and underestimated in the long term. The main conclusion of the scenario
analysis is that the production forest scenario causes higher impacts per functional unit than the multifunctional scenario,
but with the latter being less efficient in avoiding CO2 emissions. The proposed method to assess impacts on diverse components of the ecosystem is able to estimate the general tendency
of the adverse and positive effects of each scenario. However, some indicators, more specifically about biodiversity and water
balance, could be improved or reinterpreted in light of specific local data about threat to biodiversity and water status. 相似文献
