The mean state of the tropical atmosphere is important as the nature of the coupling between the ocean and the atmosphere
depends nonlinearly on the basic state of the coupled system. The simulation of the annual cycle of the tropical surface wind
stress by 17 atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) is examined and intercompared. The models considered were part
of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) and were integrated with observed sea surface temperature (SST) for
the decade 1979–1988. Several measures have been devised to intercompare the performance of the 17 models on global tropical
as well as regional scales. Within the limits of observational uncertainties, the models under examination simulate realistic
tropical area-averaged zonal and meridional annual mean stresses. This is a noteworthy improvement over older generation low
resolution models which were noted for their simulation of surface stresses considerably weaker than the observations. The
models also simulate realistic magnitudes of the spatial distribution of the annual mean surface stress field and are seen
to reproduce realistically its observed spatial pattern. Similar features are observed in the simulations of the annual variance
field. The models perform well over almost all the tropical regions apart from a few. Of these, the simulations over Somali
are interesting. Over this region, the models are seen to underestimate the annual mean zonal and meridional stresses. There
is also wide variance between the different models in simulating these quantities. Large model-to-model variations were also
seen in the simulations of the annual mean meridional stress field over equatorial Indian Ocean, south central Pacific, north
east Pacific and equatorial eastern Pacific oceans. It is shown that the systematic errors in simulating the surface winds
are related to the systematic errors in simulating the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in its location and intensity.
Weaker than observed annual mean southwesterlies simulated by most models over Somali is due to weaker than observed southwesterlies
during the Northern Hemisphere summer. This is related to the weaker than observed land precipitation simulated by most models
during the Northern Hemisphere summer. The diversity in simulation of the surface wind over Somali and equatorial Indian ocean
is related to the diversity of AGCMs in simulating the precipitation zones in these regions.

Studies have been conducted between March 1993 and March 1994 in the Ashar canal, a backwater of the Shatt al-Arab River, Iraq. Using artificial substrates, the colonization and development of seventy-five diatom species belonging to twenty genera could be revealed. Taxa apportionment varied seasonally as well as within each season. A few species have been found during all experiments. These are Amphora ovalis, Bacillaria paradoxa, Cocconeis placentula var. euglypta, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Cymbella ventricosa, Navicula tripunctata var. schizonemoides, Rhoicosphenia curvata, and Synedra ulna. The occurrence of B. paradoxa in Experiment 1 (March-April 1993) and Experiment 4 (end of January to beginning of March 1994) was higher than 50%. Similarity of species increased towards the end of each season, and the communities from experiments 1 and 4 were more similar than others. The experiments also suggest that week 4 represents the equilibrium phase while week 6 reflects the increase in biological interactions. The results could also indicate the sequence of primary colonizers and the community development towards the equilibrium. 相似文献

Late Proterozoic rocks of Tanol Formation in the Lesser Himalayas of Neelum Valley area are largely green schist to amphibolite facies rocks intruded by early Cambrian Jura granite gneiss and Jura granite representing Pan-African orogeny event in the area. These rocks are further intruded by pegmatites of acidic composition, aplites, and dolerite dykes. Based on field observations, texture, and petrographic character, three different categories of granite gneiss (i.e., highly porphyritic, coarse-grained two micas granite gneiss, medium-grained two micas granite gneiss, and leucocratic tourmaline-bearing muscovite granite gneiss), and granites (i.e., highly porphyritic coarse-grained two micas granite, medium-grained two micas granite, and leucocratic tourmaline-bearing coarse-grained muscovite granite) were classified. Thin section studies show that granite gneiss and granite are formed due to fractional crystallization, as revealed by zoning in plagioclase. The Al saturation index indicates that granite gneiss and granite are strongly peraluminous and S-type. Geochemical analysis shows that all granite gneisses are magnesian except one which is ferroan whereas all granites are ferroan except one which is magnesian. The CaO/Na2O ratio (>0.3) indicates that granitic melt of Jura granite gneiss and granite is pelite-psammite derived peraluminous granitic melt formed due to partial melting of Tanol Formation. The rare earth element (REE) patterns of the Jura granite and Jura granite gneiss indicate that granitic magma of Jura granite and Jura granite gneiss is formed due to partial melting of rocks that are similar in composition to that of upper continental crust. 相似文献

The Southern Oscillation is a major component in the interannual variations of global climate. The Oregon State University global climate model, with a dynamically interactive upper ocean, reproduces in qualitatively correct fashion some of the major characteristics of the Southern Oscillation. This model simulates the observed anti-correlation of annually averaged sea-level pressure (SLP) between the eastern Pacific and the Indonesian region, the primary atmospheric signal of the Southern Oscillation. In the composite of the simulated warm events positive sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies expand eastward towards South America from the tropical western Pacific during the first half of the calendar year. The SST anomalies develop in conjunction with eastward mixed layer current anomalies in the tropical Pacific. In the late summer and early fall anomalously warm water near South America develops and moves westward to merge with the central Pacific anomalies. This lagged development in the eastern Pacific is analogous to the evolution of the 1982/83 and 1986/87 El Ninos. The temperature of the thermocline layer also increases, with the slope of the equatorial Pacific thermocline decreasing in response to the relaxation of the surface forcing. Enhanced precipitation occurs in the mid-Pacific while in the Indian and Australian monsoon regions a deficit occurs. The peak of the warm phase occurs in late northern fall/early winter, somewhat earlier than during observed El Ninos. The cold phase of the Southern Oscillation, enhancement of the zonal circulation, evolves in a fashion similar to the warm phase with the signs of the anomalies reversed, similar to observations. Occurrence of Southern Oscillation in this coarse resolution GCM indicates that high resolution ocean waves do not play a crucial role in the generation of this phenomenon as suggested by Pacific basin models. These results also show that ocean-atmosphere global climate models are useful tools for investigation of time dependent changes on the interannual timescale in addition to their hitherto accepted use for studying equilibrium properties of climate. 相似文献

Many unicellular cyanobacteria were isolated from different places： fields, ponds, polluted water, and soils from Muredkey and Kasur tannery areas, near Lahore, Pakistan. Different media like BG 11 medium, Bold Basal medium, Chu＇s # 10 medium and Gotham＇s medium, in standard forms and with slight variations of ingredients, and different pH, temperature and light regimes were checked for the optimum growth of the isolates. The isolation pro- cedure was repeated with different concentrations of chromium to select the resistant strains. These selected strains grew on chromium of the range 100-200 μg/ml in BG 11 medium. Cyanobacteria were maintained in solid and liquid media with/without shaking. Cyanobacterial strains were collected from natural habitats that were accompanied by a diversified group of organisms including bacteria, protozoan, and rotifers etc. In order to eliminate these agents termed as contaminants, we used several methods including phenol treatment, use of antibiotic and careful manual picking of unicellular cyanobacteria. Resistance of these strains against different heavy metals （ZnSO4, MnSO4, NiSO4, COCl2, Pb（NO3）3, CuSO4, HgCl2, AgNO3 and CdCl2） and antibiotics （erythromycin, streptomycin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, neomycin） was evaluated. Optimum temperature was 30℃ with variable pH for the reduction of Cr^6＋ in to Cr^3＋ in majority of strains. 相似文献

The Dobson wave refraction programme, modified to incorporate bottom frictional attenuation, is being tested for its universal applicability for prediction of nearshore wave heights. An investigation has been undertaken to test the applicability of this programme for the prediction of wave heights over a gently sloping, wide continental shelf. The study has been carried out in the shelf waters off Alleppey, situated along the southwest coast of India. The measured wave height at a nearshore point and the computed wave height at the same point are compared. The application of Spearman's rank correlation and Wilcoxon's matched-pairs signed-ranks test has indicated that there is a high degree of correlation between the measured and predicted heights. Since similar results have been obtained by Bryant (1979) for steep shelf waters of Australia, it may be concluded that the programme can be used in different coastal waters irrespective of the nature of the shelf gradient, but subject to other limitations of the programme. 相似文献

The North Pacific Oscillation: observations compared with simulations in a general circulation model
The study of the sea level pressure and the surface air temperatures in the North Pacific region in a 23-year integration of the Oregon State University coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model has shown that there is a signature of the North Pacific Oscillation in the model, comparable to that recorded in observations. In the model, the NPO index was defined in terms of an opposition in sign of mean temperature anomaly between two regions in the North Pacific region, close to those found in observations (viz. Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and Edmonton, Canada). Fluctuations of this index prompted the grouping of some of the 23 model years as those when the temperature at the model equivalent of Dutch Harbor was above normal and that at the model equivalent of Edmonton below normal (analogous to Aleutian above in observations), while other years displayed the opposite scenario (Aleutian below). Composites of sea level pressure, surface air temperatures, precipitation and sea surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were found to be at times strikingly similar to those documented in observations by Rogers. 相似文献

Probability distribution of shallow water wave heights, obtained from a pressure type recorder, are examined. It is tested with the theoretical distributions of (a) Rayleigh, (b) Weibull, (c) Gluhovski, (d) Ibrageemov and (e) Goda. The best fit is shown by the Gluhovski probability density function with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.8. The functions of Weibull, Ibrageemov and Goda fit only half of the tested cases. The role of wave steepness in the wave height distribution is found to be negligible. 相似文献
