Wind-tunnel measurements of the flow over an isolated valley both normal and at an angle (45°) to a simulated neutrally stable
atmospheric boundary layer are presented. Attention is concentrated on the nature of the flow within the valley itself. The
work formed part of a wider study that included detailed field measurements around an African desert valley and some limited
comparisons with that work are included. A scale of about 1:1000 was used for the laboratory work, in which an appropriate
combination of hot wire and particle image velocimetry was employed. For a valley normal to the upwind flow, it is shown that
the upstream influence of the valley extends to a distance of at least one half of the axial valley width upstream of the
leading edge, whereas differences in mean flow and turbulence could be identified well beyond two valley widths from the downwind
edge. Non-normal wind angles lead to significant along-valley flows within the valley and, even at two valley heights above
the valley ridge level, there remains a significant spanwise flow component. Downwind turbulence levels are somewhat lower
in this case, but are still considerably higher than in the undisturbed boundary layer. At both flow angles, there are significant
recirculation regions within the valleys, starting from mean separation just beyond the leading edge, but the strong spanwise
flow in the 45° case reduces the axial extent of the separated zone. The flow is shown to be in some ways analogous to flow
over an isolated hill. Our results usefully enhance the field data and could be used to improve modelling of saltation processes
in the field. 相似文献

A sampling expedition has shown that largely hydrogenetic marine ferromanganese deposits occur in the Christmas Island region south of Java (~10°S), as small nodules on seamount slopes and abyssal plains (red clay), and as thick crusts on volcanic ridges and seamounts. Vernadite is dominant, with birnessite, jacobsite and todorokite common. Nodules were recovered in 25% of free-fall grab stations in water 4600-5900 m deep, and are not abundant where present. The nodules average 9.6% Fe, 19.7% Mn, 0.51% Ni, 0.49% Cu, and 0.12% Co. Crusts are common in water 1450-3700 m deep, with average deposition rates of 1-1.5 mm / m.y. The crusts average 13.9% Fe, 16.2% Mn, 0.35% Ni, 0.11% Cu, and 0.44% Co. Cobalt grades are higher (~0.8%) in shallower water ( < 2500 m), so future exploration should concentrate on depths of 500-1500 m near the oxygen minimum zone. 相似文献

Intensive field monitoring of a reach of upland gravel‐bed river illustrates the temporal and spatial variability of in‐channel sedimentation. Over the six‐year monitoring period, the mean bed level in the channel has risen by 0·17 m with a maximum bed level rise of 0·5 m noted at one location over a five month winter period. These rapid levels of aggradation have a profound impact on the number and duration of overbank flows with flood frequency increasing on average 2·6 times and overbank flow time increasing by 12·8 hours. This work raises the profile of coarse sediment transfer in the design and operation of river management, specifically engineering schemes. It emphasizes the need for the implementation of strategic monitoring programmes before engineering work occurs to identify zones where aggradation is likely to be problematic. Exploration of the sediment supply and transfer system can explain patterns of channel sedimentation. The complex spatial, seasonal and annual variability in sediment supply and transfer raise uncertainties into the system's response to potential changes in climate and land‐use. Thus, there is a demand for schemes that monitor coarse sediment transfer and channel response. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to assess the possible impact of deep well disposal operations, conducted between 1958 and 1974, on the ground water quality in a shallow fresh water aquifer beneath Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Because of the breakout of formation fluids in Sarnia and Port Huron, Michigan, in the early 1970s, it had been hypothesized that liquid waste from the disposal zone in bedrock had leaked through numerous abandoned oil, gas, and salt wells in the area up to the shallow fresh water aquifer and from there to the surface.
A monitoring well network of 29 5cm (2 inch) diameter piezometers was established in the thin sand and shale aquifer system, which exists between 30 and 70m (100 and 230 feet) below ground surface. In addition, a 300m (1000 foot) deep borehole was drilled and instrumented with a Westbay multilevel casing, which permitted sampling of the disposal zone.
Ground water samples from the shallow monitoring wells and the Westbay multilevel casing were analyzed for volatiles by GC/MS. Those volatile aromatics that were conspicuously present in the deep disposal zone, e.g., ethyl toluenes and trimethyl benzene, were not detected in the shallow monitoring wells. Thus, if contaminants from the disposal zone did indeed migrate to the shallow aquifer, contamination was not widespread and probably consisted mostly of displaced chloride-rich formation waters. 相似文献

Humans in late Pleistocene southwest Tasmania focused on the medium-sized macropod, the Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus), with recent skeletochronological (dental growth-increment) analysis of wallaby teeth suggesting that hunting occurred in upland and lowland valleys on a coordinated seasonal basis. The frequencies of wallaby body parts and elements in the zooarchaeological assemblages, in particular the dominance of hindlimbs and metatarsals, implies that humans were selectively targeting these elements as part of their high latitude economic strategy despite the relatively small size of the prey. To help understand the economic potential of this prey species a meat utility index based on the associated flesh weight per skeletal element was derived for the Bennett's wallaby. It was found the posterior parts of the animal, especially the femur, tibia/fibula, sacral vertebrate and pelvis were the highest ranked body parts, while the cranium, pectoral girdle, forelimbs and manus were of little economic value. These results were then compared to the distribution of wallaby body parts found in the zooarchaeological record from Kutikina Cave to help better understand human adaptation and decision-making in late Pleistocene southwest Tasmania. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Urban greening can enhance sustainability and liveability, through conserving biodiversity, mitigating urban heat and enhancing people’s health and wellbeing. However, urban greening is complex, as it occurs in unique ecological settings, with social, cultural and economic factors shaping the forms it takes. This raises questions about the governance of urban greening, including what counts as ‘good governance’. In this paper, we first outline principles of good governance drawn from the natural resource management context. We then present four urban greening initiatives from Melbourne Australia representing different scales, land tenures and organising structures. Following this, we analyse how governance of the four initiatives addresses good governance principles. Our analysis shows that there are diverse ways in which urban greening can be practiced and governed. The importance of more ‘informal’ initiatives should not be discounted relative to formalised initiatives, as a spectrum of approaches can be seen as strength. Further, in determining what constitutes good governance, the standards against which initiatives are assessed should be tailored to their specific circumstances, and consider impacts to the environment itself. These findings point to good urban greening governance being both situated and principled. 相似文献
