The plane-wave reflection and transmission coefficients at a plane interface between two anisotropic media constitute the elements of the elastic scattering matrix. For a 1-D anisotropic medium the eigenvector decomposition of the system matrix of the transformed elasto-dynamic equations is used to derive a general expression for the scattering matrix. Depending on the normalization of the eigenvectors, the expressions give scattering coefficients for amplitudes or for vertical energy flux.Computing the vertical slownesses and the corresponding polarizations, the eigenvector matrix and its inverse can be found. We give a simple formula for the inverse, regardless of the normalization of the eigenvectors. When the eigenvectors are normalized with respect to amplitudes of displacement (or velocity), the calculation of the scattering matrix for amplitudes is simplified.When the relative changes in all parameters are small, a weak-contrast approximation of the scattering matrix, based on the exactly determined polarization vectors in an average medium, is obtained. The same approximation is also derived directly from the transformed elasto-dynamic equations for a smooth vertically inhomogeneous medium, proving the consistency of the approximation.For monoclinic media, with the mirror symmetry plane parallel to the interface, the approximative scattering matrix is given in terms of analytic expressions for the non-normalized eigenvectors and vertical slownesses. For transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry (VTI) and isotropic media, explicit solutions for the weak-contrast approximations of the scattering matrices have been obtained. The scattering matrix for amplitudes for isotropic media is well known. The scattering matrix for vertical energy flux may have applications in AVO analysis and inversion due to the reciprocity of the reflection coefficients for converted waves.Numerical examples for monoclinic and VTI media provide good agreement between the approximative and the exact reflection matrices. It is, however, expected that the approximations cannot be used when the symmetry properties of the two media are very different. This is because the approximation relies on a small relative contrast between the eigenvectors in the two media.Presented at the Workshop Meeting on Seismic Waves in Laterally Inhomogeneous Media, Castle of Trest, Czech Republic, May 22–27, 1995. 相似文献

Vulnerable or Resilient? A Multi-Scale Assessment of Climate Impacts and Vulnerability in Norway 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2
This paper explores the issue of climate vulnerability in Norway, an affluent country that is generally considered to be resilient to the impacts of climate change. In presenting a multi-scale assessment of climate change impacts and vulnerability in Norway, we show that the concept of vulnerability depends on the scale of analysis. Both exposure and the distribution of climate sensitive sectors vary greatly across scale. So do the underlying social and economic conditions that influence adaptive capacity. These findings question the common notion that climate change may be beneficial for Norway, and that the country can readily adapt to climate change. As scale differences are brought into consideration, vulnerability emerges within some regions, localities, and social groups. To cope with actual and potential changes in climate and climate variability, it will be necessary to acknowledge climate vulnerabilities at the regional and local levels, and to address them accordingly. This multi-scale assessment of impacts and vulnerability in Norway reinforces the importance of scale in global change research. 相似文献

According to the kinematic theory of nonhelical dynamo action, the magnetic energy spectrum increases with wavenumber and peaks at the resistive cutoff wavenumber. It has previously been argued that even in the dynamical case, the magnetic energy peaks at the resistive scale. Using high resolution simulations (up to 10243 meshpoints) with no large-scale imposed field, we show that the magnetic energy peaks at a wavenumber that is independent of the magnetic Reynolds number and about five times larger than the forcing wavenumber. Throughout the inertial range, the spectral magnetic energy exceeds the kinetic energy by a factor of two to three. Both spectra are approximately parallel. The total energy spectrum seems to be close to k ?3/2, but there is a strong bottleneck effect and we suggest that the asymptotic spectrum is instead k ?5/3. This is supported by the value of the second-order structure function exponent that is found to be ζ2 = 0.70, suggesting a k ?1.70 spectrum. The third-order structure function scaling exponent is very close to unity,—in agreement with Goldreich–Sridhar theory. Adding an imposed field tends to suppress the small-scale magnetic field. We find that at large scales the magnetic energy spectrum then follows a k ?1 slope. When the strength of the imposed field is of the same order as the dynamo generated field, we find almost equipartition between the magnetic and kinetic energy spectra. 相似文献

Collections of the molluscan species Arctica islandica from seven sites in Norway, Scotland and the North Sea, ranging in age from recent to Early Pleistocene, have been sampled for amino acid analyses. The shells were sampled in profiles through the valves at different distances from the umbo. In the fossil material a general trend of increasing degree of isoleucine (lle) epimerisation and decreasing amino acid concentrations were found going from the inner part of the valve to the outer. Although less pronounced, there is a similar trend from the central part of the valve to the margin. As the concentration of alloisoleucine (alle) remains nearly constant, the observed changes in alle/lle ratios are a result of variations in the amount of isoleucine. The amino acid composition is fairly uniform in recent shells and the observed gradients are established in mid-Holocene samples. Therefore, it is suggested that the gradients are established during rapid early degradation of the protein, possibly due to microbiological activity. Differences in alle/lle ratios observed in molluscs from sites of the same age and same thermal history could be explained by differences in the exposure to amino-acid-consuming microorganisms during the very early stage of diagenesis. 相似文献

A precise and efficient algorithm is developed for determining the locations of radio beacons (e.g. of the ARGOS or COSPAS/SARSAT type) based on Doppler shift measurements in overflying satellites. The method distinguishes itself through: (1) the use of a very compact analytic orbital theory valid for all eccentricities, (2) autonomous orbit improvement based on Doppler data for one or more local reference beacons accessible at a single LUT, (3) simultaneous orbit improvement and calculation of beacon coordinates for an arbitrary number of satellites, satellite passes, and beacons, and (4) very efficient semi-analytic matrix inversion by partitioning into global, semi-global, and local parameters.The algorithm has been implemented in a FORTRAN program which can be run on a PC. Error statistics are presented from applications of the program to a large number of actual Doppler curves obtained with the ARGOS and COSPAS/SARSAT systems. 相似文献

Simulations of eight different regional climate models (RCMs) have been performed for the period September 1997–September
1998, which coincides with the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project period. Each of the models employed
approximately the same domain covering the western Arctic, the same horizontal resolution of 50 km, and the same boundary
forcing. The models differ in their vertical resolution as well as in the treatments of dynamics and physical parameterizations.
Both the common features and differences of the simulated spatiotemporal patterns of geopotential, temperature, cloud cover,
and long-/shortwave downward radiation between the individual model simulations are investigated. With this work, we quantify
the scatter among the models and therefore the magnitude of disagreement and unreliability of current Arctic RCM simulations.
Even with the relatively constrained experimental design we notice a considerable scatter among the different RCMs. We found
the largest across-model scatter in the 2 m temperature over land, in the surface radiation fluxes, and in the cloud cover
which implies a reduced confidence level for these variables.

Remotely sensed observations of sea-level anomaly and sea-surface temperature have been assimilated into an implementation
of the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) for the Indian Ocean using the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). The system
has been applied in a hindcast validation experiment to examine the properties of the assimilation scheme when used with a
full ocean general circulation model and real observations. This work is considered as a first step towards an operational
ocean monitoring and forecasting system for the Indian Ocean. The assimilation of real data has demonstrated that the sequential
EnKF can efficiently control the model evolution in time. The use of data assimilation requires a significant amount of additional
processing and computational resources. However, we have tried to justify the cost of using a sophisticated assimilation scheme
by demonstrating strong regional and temporal dependencies of the covariance statistics, which include highly anisotropic
and flow-dependent correlation functions. In particular, we observed a marked difference between error statistics in the equatorial
region and at off-equatorial latitudes. We have also demonstrated how the assimilation of SLA and SST improves the model fields
with respect to real observations. Independent in situ temperature profiles have been used to examine the impact of assimilating
the remotely sensed observations. These intercomparisons have shown that the model temperature and salinity fields better
resemble in situ observations in the assimilation experiment than in a model free-run case. On the other hand, it is also
expected that assimilation of in situ profiles is needed to properly control the deep ocean circulation.

Large-offset approximation to seismic reflection traveltimes 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Conventional approximations of reflection traveltimes assume a small offset-to-depth ratio, and their accuracy decreases with increasing offset-to-depth ratio. Hence, they are not suitable for velocity analysis and stacking of long-offset reflection seismic data. Assuming that the offset is large, rather than small, we present a new traveltime approximation which is exact at infinite offset and has a decreasing accuracy with decreasing offset-to-depth ratio. This approximation has the form of a series containing powers of the offset from 1 to −∞. It is particularly accurate in the presence of a thin high-velocity layer above the reflector, i.e. in a situation where the accuracy of the Taner and Koehler series is poor. This new series can be used to gain insight into the velocity information contained in reflection traveltimes at large offsets, and possibly to improve velocity analysis and stacking of long-offset reflection seismic data. 相似文献

We have measured activity coefficients for NiO and FeO in a variety of silicate melts (SiO2-CaO-MgO-Al2O3) using electrochemical methods similar to square wave voltametry. We report the activity of the oxide ion (aO2−) in one composition. Based on these measurements, we have constructed a model that predicts the variations in activity we observe, and also variations in NiO activity reported in the literature. Activity of metal-oxide components such as NiO and FeO in silicate melts can be understood by considering contributions from both the activity of the oxide ion and the activity of the cation through expressions of the type:
