From reflection and refraction data a crustal model of the Concepcion Bank NE of Lanzarote Island has been calculated. It is interpreted as a tectonic unit of volcanic origin. Its evolution history of mainly Tertiary age does not depend on sea floor spreading. The Bank is built of intruded basaltic layers over material with a reduced mantle p-velocity. 相似文献

Seismic noise induced by the seismic source during continuous profiling reduces the signal-to-noise ratio and hence the data quality. This noise is largely dependent on the shot interval. In this paper, the noise amplitude of refraction seismic records from a special experiment is analysed as a function of the shot interval. An empirical exponential relationship between mean peak noise amplitude and shot interval is deduced. By increasing the shot interval, the induced noise can be minimized on all successive records. This results in an improvement of the data, predominantly the signal-to-noise ratio. Because the seismic signal and the shot-induced noise have nearly the same spectra, the chance of improving the signal-to-noise ratio by stacking is significantly reduced. 相似文献

The effect of mountainous topography on moisture exchange between the “surface” and the free atmosphere 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Typical numerical weather and climate prediction models apply parameterizations to describe the subgrid-scale exchange of
moisture, heat and momentum between the surface and the free atmosphere. To a large degree, the underlying assumptions are
based on empirical knowledge obtained from measurements in the atmospheric boundary layer over flat and homogeneous topography.
It is, however, still unclear what happens if the topography is complex and steep. Not only is the applicability of classical
turbulence schemes questionable in principle over such terrain, but mountains additionally induce vertical fluxes on the meso-γ
scale. Examples are thermally or mechanically driven valley winds, which are neither resolved nor parameterized by climate
models but nevertheless contribute to vertical exchange. Attempts to quantify these processes and to evaluate their impact
on climate simulations have so far been scarce. Here, results from a case study in the Riviera Valley in southern Switzerland
are presented. In previous work, measurements from the MAP-Riviera field campaign have been used to evaluate and configure
a high-resolution large-eddy simulation code (ARPS). This model is here applied with a horizontal grid spacing of 350 m to
detect and quantify the relevant exchange processes between the valley atmosphere (i.e. the ground “surface” in a coarse model)
and the free atmosphere aloft. As an example, vertical export of moisture is evaluated for three fair-weather summer days.
The simulations show that moisture exchange with the free atmosphere is indeed no longer governed by turbulent motions alone.
Other mechanisms become important, such as mass export due to topographic narrowing or the interaction of thermally driven
cross-valley circulations. Under certain atmospheric conditions, these topographical-related mechanisms exceed the “classical”
turbulent contributions a coarse model would see by several times. The study shows that conventional subgrid-scale parameterizations
can indeed be far off from reality if applied over complex topography, and that large-eddy simulations could provide a helpful
tool for their improvement. 相似文献

Results are presented from a deep seismic sounding experiment with the research vessel POLARSTERN in the Scoresby Sund area, East Greenland. For this continental margin study 9 seismic recording landstations were placed in Scoresby Sund and at the southeast end of Kong Oscars Fjord, and ocean bottom seismographs (OBS) were deployed at 26 positions in and out of Scoresby Sund offshore East Greenland between 70° and 72° N and on the west flank of the Kolbeinsey Ridge. The landstations were established using helicopters from RV POLARSTERN. Explosives, a 321 airgun and 81 airguns were used as seismic sources in the open sea. Gravity data were recorded in addition to the seismic measurements. A free-air gravity map is presented. The sea operations — shooting and OBS recording — were strongly influenced by varying ice conditions. Crustal structure 2-D models have been calculated from the deep seismic sounding results. Free-air gravity anomalies have been calculated from these models and compared to the observed gravity. In the inner Scoresby Sund — the Caledonian fold belt region — the crustal thickness is about 35 km, and thins seaward to 10 km. Sediments more than 10 km thick on Jameson Land are of mainly Mesozoic age. In the outer shelf region and deep sea a ‘Moho’ cannot clearly be identified by our data. There are only weak indications for the existence of a ‘Moho’ west of the Kolbeinsey Ridge. Inside and offshore Scoresby Sund there is clear evidence for a lower crust refractor characterised byp-velocities of 6.8–7.3 km s?1 at depths between 6 and 10 km. We believe these velocities are related to magmatic processes of rifting and first drifting controlled by different scale mantle updoming during Paleocene to Eocene and Late Oligocene to Miocene times: the separation of Greenland/Norway and the separation of the Jan Mayen Ridge/Greenland, respectively. A thin igneous upper crust, interpreted to be of oceanic origin, begins about 50 km seaward of the Liverpool Land Escarpment and thickens oceanward. In the escarpment zone the crustal composition is not clear. Probably it is stretched and attenuated continental crust interspersed with basaltic intrusions. The great depth of the basement (about 5000 m) points to a high subsidence rate of about 0.25 mm yr?1 due to sediment loading and cooling of the crust and upper mantle, mainly since Miocene time. The igneous upper crust thickens eastward under the Kolbeinsey Ridge to about 2.5 km; the thickening is likely caused by higher production of extrusives. The basementp-velocity of 5.8–6.0 km s?1 is rather high. Such velocities are associated with young basalts and may also be caused by a higher percentage of dykes. Tertiary to recent sediments, about 5000 m thick, form most of the shelf east of Scoresby Sund, Liverpool Land and Kong Oscars Fjord. This points to a high sedimentation rate mainly since the Miocene. The deeper sediments have a rather high meanp-velocity of 4.5 km s?1, perhaps due to pre-Cambrian to Caledonian deposits of continental origin. The upper sediments offshore Scoresby Sund are thick and have a rather low velocity. They are interpreted as eroded material transported from inside the Sund into the shelf region. Offshore Kong Oscars Fjord the upper sediments, likely Jurassic to Devonian deposits, are thin in the shelf region but thicken to more than 3000 m in the slope area. The crust and upper mantle structure in the ocean-continent transition zone is interpreted to be the result of the superposition of the activities of three rifting phases related to mantle plumes of different dimensions:
- the ‘Greenland/Norway separation phase’ of high volcanic activity,
- the ‘Jan Mayen Ridge/Greenland separation phase’ and
- the ‘Kolbeinsey Ridge phase’ of ‘normal’ volcanic activity related to a more or less normal mantle temperature.

Time Series Data Server (TSDS) is a software package for implementing a server that provides fast super-setting, sub-setting, filtering, and uniform gridding of time series-like data. TSDS was developed to respond quickly to requests for long time spans of data. Data may be served from a fast database, typically created by aggregating granules (e.g., data files) from a remote data source and storing them in a local cache that is optimized for serving time series. The system was designed specifically for time series data, and is optimized for requests where the longest dimension of the requested data structure is time. Scalar, vector, and spectrogram time series types are supported. The user can interact with the server by requesting a time series, a date range, and an optional filter to apply to the data. Available filters include strides, block average/minimum/maximum, exclude, and inequality. Constraint expressions are supported, which allow such operations as a request for data from one time series when a different time series satisfied a specified relationship. TSDS builds upon DAP (Data Access Protocol), NcML (netCDF Mark-up language) and related software libraries. In this work, we describe the current design of this server, as well as planned features and potential implementation strategies. 相似文献

Boundary layer characteristics and turbulent exchange mechanisms in highly complex terrain 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The Mesoscale Alpine Programme’s Riviera project investigated the turbulence structure and related exchange processes in an
Alpine valley by combining a detailed experimental campaign with high-resolution numerical modelling. The present contribution
reviews published material on the Riviera Valley’s boundary layer structure and discusses new material on the near-surface
turbulence structure. The general conclusion of the project is that despite the large spatial variability of turbulence characteristics
and the crucial influence of topography at all scales, the physical processes can accurately be understood and modelled. Nevertheless,
many of the “text book characteristics” like the interaction between the valley and slope wind systems or the erosion of the
nocturnal valley inversion need reconsideration, at least for small non-ideal valleys like the Riviera Valley. The project
has identified new areas of research such as post-processing methods for turbulence variables in complex terrain and new approaches
for the surface energy balance when advection is non-negligible. The exchange of moisture and heat between the valley atmosphere
and the free troposphere is dominated by local “secondary” circulations due to the curvature of the valley axis. Because many
curved valleys exist, and operational models still have rather poor resolution, parameterization of these processes may be
required. 相似文献

Autoplot is software developed for the Virtual Observatories in Heliophysics to provide intelligent and automated plotting capabilities for many typical data products that are stored in a variety of file formats or databases. Autoplot has proven to be a flexible tool for exploring, accessing, and viewing data resources as typically found on the web, usually in the form of a directory containing data files with multiple parameters contained in each file. Data from a data source is abstracted into a common internal data model called QDataSet. Autoplot is built from individually useful components, and can be extended and reused to create specialized data handling and analysis applications and is being used in a variety of science visualization and analysis applications. Although originally developed for viewing heliophysics-related time series and spectrograms, its flexible and generic data representation model makes it potentially useful for the Earth sciences. 相似文献
