Long-term changes in the within-season temporal profile of southwest monsoon over western India     

Satyendra Bhandari  Rohit Srivastava  Vikram Mehta 《Journal of Earth System Science》2016,125(7):1313-1319

This paper presents results of a study of long term trends in the characteristics of the within-season temporal profile of southwest monsoon rainfall over western India during the last five decades in relation to global warming induced regional climate change. In contrast to recent climate change analyses and projections, no significant long-term trends have been observed in this study. Slow decadal scale variations observed are analysed in relation to Pacific Decadal Oscillations (PDO). Daily variations in rainfall anomaly show opposite characteristics during negative and positive phases of PDO. The above-normal rainfall (>25%) is found during the starting phase of monsoon in negative PDO. Over the last decade, i.e., during 2000–2007, the seasonal rainfall amount, as well as seasonal span of southwest monsoon over western India is indicative of a gradual increase.  相似文献

Aerosol-trace gases interactions and their role in air quality control of Delhi city (India)     

Anshu Sharma  Saumya Singh  Umesh C. Kulshrestha 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(13):358

Atmospheric dust is considered to be the major cause of poor air quality due to its contribution to high particulate levels, but their interaction with the acidic gases helps in controlling the level of SO₂ and NO₂ through ambient neutralization reactions. In the present study, the interaction of acidic gases such as SO₂ and NO₂ with alkaline dust was investigated during October, 2013–July, 2014 at a site named as Babarpur located at the Trans-Yamuna region of Delhi. The concentration of SO₂ ranged from 10 to 170 μg/m³ with an average of 36 μg/m³ while that of NO₂ ranged from 15 to 54 μg/m³ with an average of 26?±?8 μg/m³. The results were observed to be well within the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) limits prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The average concentrations of SO₂ during day and night time were recorded as 31?±?18 and 43?±?53 μg/m³ respectively while the mean concentrations of NO₂ during day and night time were recorded as 26?±?7 and 27?±?12 μg/m³ respectively. A positive correlation between SO₄^2? and NO₃^? was also observed indicating their secondary aerosol formation. In aerosol phase, average concentrations of SO₄^2? during day and night time were 3.9?±?0.3 and 6.5?±?2.3 μg/m³ respectively while that of NO₃^? were 9.5?±?1.5 and 7.3?±?0.5 μg/m³ respectively. Molar ratios of Ca²⁺/SO₄^2?, NH₄⁺/SO₄^2?, and NH₄⁺/NO₃^? were observed as 8, 5, and 1.7 during daytime and 1.5, 0.4, and 0.8 during nighttime respectively. Such molar ratios confirmed high concentrations of sulphate (SO₄)^2? and low concentrations of nitrate (NO₃^?) during night time, thereby indicating different pathway of aerosol formation during day and night time. Surface morphology and elemental composition of aerosol samples showed various oval, globular, and platy shapes where the diameter varied from few nm to ~5 μm depending on their precursors. There were certain shapes like grossularite, irregular aggregate, grape-like, triangular, and flattened which indicate the crustal origin of aerosols and their possible role in SO₂ and NO₂ adsorption.  相似文献   

Importance of wave-induced bed liquefaction in the fine sediment budget of Cleveland Bay,Great Barrier Reef   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Data from a three-year long field study of fine sediment dynamics in Cleveland Bay show that wave-induced liquefaction of the fine sediment bed on the seafloor in shallow water was the main process causing bed erosion under small waves during tradewinds, and that shear-induced erosion prevailed during cyclonic conditions. These data were used to verify a model of fine sediment dynamics that calculates sediment resuspension by both excess shear stress and wave-induced liquefaction of the bed. For present land-use conditions, the amount of riverine sediments settling on the bay may exceed by 50–75% the amount of sediment exported from the bay. Sediment is thus accumulating in the bay on an annual basis, which in turn may degrade the fringing coral reefs. For those years when a tropical cyclone impacted the bay there may be a net sediment outflow from the bay. During the dry, tradewind season, fine sediment was progressively winnowed out of the shallow, reefal waters.  相似文献   

Combined Radar and Landsat data analysis for land use/cover studies over parts of the Punjab plains     

S. Mohan  R. L. Mehta 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》1988,16(4):33-36

L-band (HH) synthetic aperture radar imagery from Shuttle Imaging Radar-B (SIR-B) and Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) images over parts of the Punjab plains were combined in order to utilize the complementary information contained in multispectral data sets. Among the various combination of Landsat MSS with SIR-B, the combination of Landsat MSS band 5 (0.6–0.7 μm) and band 7 (0.8–1.1 μm) with SIR-B data was found to be optimum in delineating landcover units. The integrated data was found to be superior in providing landcover information in comparison to SIR-B alone or a combination of landsat MSS band 4,5 and 7.  相似文献

Mud erosion by waves: a laboratory study     

P.-Y. Maa  A.J. Mehta 《Continental Shelf Research》1987,7(11-12)

The role of mud erosion under waves in governing cohesive sediment transport in estuarial and coastal waters is well known. A laboratory study was conducted in order to elucidate the mechanism by which soft muds erode under progressive waves in a flume. Two types of cohesive sediment were used, a commercial kaolinite and an estuarial mud. Beds were formed by pouring in a pre-prepared sediment-water slurry and allowing the deposit to consolidate for a period ranging from 2 to 14 days. A multi-layered hydrodynamic model, which considers the mud to be viscoelastic, has been developed and used to evaluate the bed shear stress at the oscillating mud-water interface. The viscoelastic property of the mud has been confirmed by rheological measurements, and model results on velocity, pressure and wave attenuation verified against flume data. Concentration profiles indicate a distinct evolutionary pattern resulting in a highly stratified suspension. Just above the bed, a thin layer of fluid mud is generated. Above this layer, the suspension concentration is significantly lower. This two-layered feature of the concentration profile is related to the oscillatory response of the mud and water layers, and the associated momentum exchange and mass diffusion characteristics. An expression relating the rate of erosion to the bed shear stress in excess of bed shear resistance has been developed. Generation of fluid mud during erosion is a significant feature of the role of waves over mud.  相似文献   

Mineralogy and geochemistry of lateritic soil profiles in Kerala, India     

B.C. Raymahashay  K.S. Rao  V.K. Mehta  P.R. Bhavana 《Chemical Geology》1987,60(1-4):327-330

Lateritic soils near Calicut, Kerala, contain halloysite of intermediate hydration, kaolinite, goethite, gibbsite and quartz. The presence of halloysite is responsible for relatively high plasticity and cation-exchange capacity. Fe-hydroxide colloids along with halloysite contribute to significant phosphate uptake by this soil. Composition of local groundwater is consistent with weathering of sodic plagioclase to gibbsite, kaolinite and metastable halloysite.  相似文献
