Extremely-low discharge events of the Paranaíba River basin during the austral summer season (December–February, DJF), are found to be associated with the Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies resembling the recently identified El Niño Modoki phenomenon. Extreme discharge events are identified based on their persistent flow for 7 days and more after taking retention time into consideration. Ninety percent of the extremely low discharge events during peak streamflow seasons of DJF, are found to occur during the El Niño Modoki years. A diagnostics study of atmospheric anomalies has shown a clear connection between the modified Walker circulation, associated with the El Niño Modoki, and the precipitation anomalies over the Paranaíba River basin. The climate variations have direct relationship with the rainfall. Streamflow variations are considered as the surrogates to rainfalls. Thus, El Niño Modoki phase is important component to understand and predict the streamflow variations in the Paranaíba River basin. 相似文献

Numerical simulations of a single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) structure, rigidly supporting a tuned liquid damper (TLD) and subjected to both real and artificially generated earthquake ground motions, show that a properly designed TLD can significantly reduce the structure's response to these motions. The TLD is a rigid, rectangular tank with shallow water in it. Its fundamental linear sloshing frequency is tuned to the structure's natural frequency. The TLD is more effective in reducing structural response as the ground excitation level increases. This is because it then dissipates more energy due to sloshing and wave breaking. A larger water‐depth to tank‐length ratio than previous studies suggested, which still falls within the constraint of shallow water theory, is shown to be more suitable for excitation levels expected in strong earthquake motions. A larger water‐mass to structure‐mass ratio is shown to be required for a TLD to remain equally effective as structural damping increases. Furthermore, the reduction in response is seen to be fairly insensitive to the bandwidth of the ground motion but is dependent on the structure's natural frequency relative to the significant ground frequencies. Finally, a practical approach is suggested for the design of a TLD to control earthquake response. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Shear flow instability is studied in the planar magnetopause boundary layer region by treating the plasma as compressible. A necessary criterion for instability near the Alfvén resonance is obtained. Sufficient criterion for instability is derived from the solution of a six degree polynomial for the cases of constant and antisymmetric velocity profiles when there is no Alfvén resonance. Both the criteria are obtained analytically for the first time. The necessary criterion generalises the well-known inflexion point theorem and Rayleigh's criterion in the hydrodynamic case to magnetohydrodynamic case for incompressible plasma provided both the Alfvén surfaces lie in the boundary layer. The Alfvén resonant surfaces are similar to the boundary walls in hydrodynamics. A semi-hyperbola theorem for the unstable situation is derived which represents the domain of Doppler shifted real frequency and imaginary frequency. From the sufficient criterion for instability it is observed that plasma shear should be more for a compressible plasma in order to make the plasma unstable. The growth rate for instability is obtained. A thin layer around Alfvén resonance effectively determines how fast the flow could attain instability. 相似文献

Few comparative international studies describe the climate change policies people are willing to support and the reasons for their support of different policies. Using survey data from 664 economics and business undergraduates in Austria, Bangladesh, Finland, Germany, Norway, and the United States, we explore how perceived risk characteristics and mental models of climate change influence support for policy alternatives. General green policies such as funding research on renewable technologies and planting trees were the overwhelmingly most popular policy alternatives. Around half the students support carbon reduction policies such as requiring higher car fuel efficiency and increasing taxes on fossil fuels. Least popular were engineering alternatives such as fertilizing the oceans and replacing fossil fuels with nuclear power. Variations among nations are generally small. Support for different policy alternatives corresponds with different causal thinking. Those who hold a pollution model of the causes of climate change, tend to blame environmental harms (e.g., air pollution from toxic chemicals), see general green policy alternatives as effective, and support general green policies. Support of carbon reduction strategies is associated with seeing carbon emissions as the cause and reducing carbon emissions as effective solutions. Support of engineering solutions increases with identifying volcanoes among causes and regarding engineering solutions as effective. Although these international students agree that climate change is a threatening problem, their causal thinking correlates with support for different mitigative policy actions, with the most popular ones not necessarily the most effective. 相似文献

A Total Solar Eclipse (TSE) was observed from Diamond Harbour (lat. 22.2°N, long 88.2°E) on 24 October 1995. The variation of -ray intensity was measured in the energy range of 0.3–3.0 MeV for different time spans throughout the period of the eclipse. A CR-39 detector was used to look at the change in the fluxes of neutral and charged particles. The maximum drop ( 25%) in the intensity of -ray was observed in the range 2.5–3 MeV during TSE. The CR-39 results showed the appearance of a good number of tracks and a small variation of proton and neutron flux of 10% which was not significant statistically. Low energy -ray fluxes at sea level originate from the secondary electron-photon components of cosmic rays in the atmosphere; its modulation by TSE is interpreted as follows. The cooling of the atmosphere in the path of the umbra induces a reduction of the height of the main production layer of the nuclear component, as a result of which, fewer µ± mesons (from the decay of the± mesons) decay to e±. This leads to a small reduction in the flux of electron-photon component at sea level which originates from this branch; the main branch of e - component from 0 decay remains nearly unaffected. As the total mass of air remains the same, little or no change in the slow proton or the neutron flux at sea level is expected. These are consistent with the present observations. For a better understanding, further studies of this new phenomenon during future TSE are suggested. 相似文献

The solar corona, modelled by a low β, resistive plasma slab sustains MHD wave propagations due to footpoint motions in the
photosphere. The density, magnetic profile and driver are considered to be neither very smooth nor very steep. The numerical
simulation presents the evolution of MHD waves and the formation of current sheet. Steep gradients in slow wave at the slab
edges which are signature of resonance layer where dissipation takes place are observed. Singularity is removed by the inclusion
of finite resistivity. Dissipation takes place around the resonance layer where the perturbation develops large gradients.
The width of the resonance layer is calculated. The thickness of the Alfvén resonance layer is more than that of the slow
wave resonance layer. Attempt is made to distinguish between slow and Alfvén wave resonance layers. Fast waves develop into
kink modes. As plasma evolves the current sheets which provide the heating at the edges gets distorted and fragment into two
current sheets at each edge which in turn come closer when the twist is enhanced.
