The TRANSALP consortium, comprising institutions from Italy, Austria and Germany, carried out deep seismic reflection measurements in the Eastern Alps between Munich and Venice in 1998, 1999 and 2001. In order to complement each other in resolution and depth range, the Vibroseis technique was combined with simultaneous explosive source measurements. Additionally, passive cross-line recording provided three-dimensional control and alternative north–south sections. Profits were obtained by the combination of the three methods in sectors or depths where one method alone was less successful.The TRANSALP sections clearly image a thin-skinned wedge of tectonic nappes at the northern Alpine front zone, unexpected graben or half-graben structures within the European basement, and, thick-skinned back-thrusting in the southern frontal zone beneath the Dolomite Mountains. A bi-vergent structure at crustal scale is directed from the Alpine axis to the external parts. The Tauern Window obviously forms the hanging wall ramp anticline above a southward dipping, deep reaching reflection pattern interpreted as a tectonic ramp along which the Penninic units of the Tauern Window have been up-thrusted.The upper crystalline crust appears generally transparent. The lower crust in the European domain is characterized by a 6–7 km thick laminated structure. On the Adriatic side the lower crust displays a much thicker or twofold reflective pattern. The crustal root at about 55 km depth is shifted around 50 km to the south with respect to the main Alpine crest.  相似文献

Relationship between rank and distribution of methylaromatic hydrocarbons for condensates of different origins     

P. Garrigues  J. Connan  E. Parlanti  J. Bellocq  M. Ewald 《Organic Geochemistry》1988,13(4-6)

Aromatic hydrocarbon fractions from thirty gas condensates have been analysed by capillary GC and high resolution Shpol'skii spectroscopy for the determination of the relative distribution in methylphenanthrene (MP), dimethylphenanthrene (DMP) and methylpyrene (MPy) series. The measured maturity indices, MPI, DMPI and MPyI which appeared previously suitable for rocks, coals and crude oils have been tested for the recognition of rank levels of condensates. MPI and DMPI exhibit a remarkedly similar evolution which allows the differentiation of the samples analysed in these works. Such studies extend the applicability of alkylaromatic hydrocarbon ratios to the characterization of maturity level of condensates which range from immature-marginally mature to overmature samples, partially biodegraded or not.  相似文献   

Sedimentpetrographische und mineralogische Untersuchungen an glaukonitführenden Kreidegesteinen Bayerns     

Prof. Dr. Heinrich M. Köster  Dipl.-Min. Ewald E. Kohler 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1973,62(2):521-535

Zusammenfassung Der Lösungsrückstand glaukonitführender Gesteine des bayerischen Helvetikums und der Regensburger Oberkreide enthÄlt Glaukonit der 1-M-Glimmermodifikation in den Glaukonitkörnern und in der Feintonfraktion < 2 Ø. Die einige zehntel- gro\en Glaukonitglimmer sind in den helvetischen Gesteinen als unregelmÄ\ig oder hexagonal begrenzte BlÄttchen ausgebildet, in den OberpfÄlzer Gesteinen als unregelmÄ\ig begrenzte oder leistenförmige Kristallite. Bei den helvetischen Gesteinen ist der Glaukonitglimmer in den Körnern und in der Feintonfraktion mit Chlorit (± Montmorillonit), in den oberpfÄlzischen Gesteinen dagegen mit Montmorillonit vergesellschaftet. Die Assoziation Glaukonit/Chlorit oder Glaukonit/Montmorillonit dürfte durch unterschiedliche marine Fazies bedingt sein. Es fehlt eine Korrelation zwischen dem diagenetisch gebildeten Dolomit und dem Chloritgehalt der Gesteine. Die Morphologie der Glaukonitkörner in allen helvetischen Gesteinen und im Regensburger Grünsandstein deutet auf eine authigene Bildung der Körner, dagegen sind im turonen Regensburger Glaukonitmergel die Körner abgerollt.

The residue of glauconite-bearing rocks from the Bavarian Helvetic zone and the Upper Cretaceous of Regensburg contains glauconitic mica of the 1 M mica-type in the glauconite pellets as well as in the clay fraction < 2 Ø. The glauconite mica of the helvetic rocks are developed as irregular or hexagonaly shaped flakes, those from the rocks of the Upper Palatinate are irregular or form ledges. In the helvetic rocks the glauconitic mica of the fraction < 2 is associated with chlorite (± montmorillonite), in the rocks of the Upper Palatinate on the contrary only montmorillonite could be detected besides glauconitic mica. The association glauconite/chlorite or glauconite/ montmorillonite may be caused by differing marine facia. There is no correlation between dolomite formed by diagenesis and content of chlorite in the rocks. The morphology of the glauconite pellets in all Helvetic rocks and in the Grünsand from Regensburg indicates an authigenic formation of the pellets, whereas the pellets of the Turonic glauconitic marl from Regensburg are rounded by transport.

Résumé Le résidu de dissolution des roches glauconieuses provenant de l'Helvétien bavarois et du Crétacé supérieur de Ratisbonne contient des micas glauconieux de la modification micacée 1 M dans les grains de glaucome et dans la fraction < 2 Ø. Les micas glauconieux de quelques dizaines de des roches de l'Helvétien ont des contours irréguliers ou des silhouettes hexagonales, tandis que les roches glauconieuses du Haut Palatinat ont des micas irréguliers ou montrent des agrégats de mica de forme plus allongée. Dans les roches helvétiques, le mica glauconieux est associé dans les grains de glauconie et dans la fraction < 2 Ø avec de la chlorite (± montmorillonite); dans les roches du Haut Palatinat au contraire, il est associé avec de la montmorillonite. L'association glauconite/chlorite ou glauconita/montmorillonite semble Être due à des différences de faciés marin. Il n'existe pas de corrélation entre la dolomie d'origine diagénétique et la teneur en chlorite des roches. La morphologie des grains de glauconie dans les roches helvétiques et dans les grès verts de Ratisbonne démontre une formation authigène des grains; par contre les grains des marnes à glauconie turoniennes de Ratisbonne sont arrondis.

Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer Modeling of Lightning Observed in Galileo Images of Jupiter   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

U.A. DyudinaA.P. Ingersoll  A.R. VasavadaS.P. Ewald  the Galileo SSI Team 《Icarus》2002,160(2):336-349

We study lightning on Jupiter and the clouds illuminated by the lightning using images taken by the Galileo orbiter. The Galileo images have a resolution of ∼25 km/pixel and are able to resolve the shape of single lightning spots, which have half widths (radii) at half the maximum intensity in the range 45-80 km. We compare the shape and width of lightning flashes in the images with simulated flashes produced by our 3D Monte Carlo light-scattering model.The model calculates Monte Carlo scattering of photons in a 3D opacity distribution. During each scattering event, light is partially absorbed. The new direction of the photon after scattering is chosen according to a Henyey-Greenstein phase function. An image from each direction is produced by accumulating photons emerging from the cloud in a small range (bins) of emission angles. The light source is modeled either as a point or a vertical line.A plane-parallel cloud layer does not always fit the data. In some cases the cloud over the light source appears to resemble cumulus clouds on Earth. Lightning is estimated to occur at least as deep as the bottom of the expected water cloud. For the six flashes studied, we find that the clouds above the lightning are optically thick (τ>5). Jovian flashes are more regular and circular than the largest terrestrial flashes observed from space. On Jupiter there is nothing equivalent to the 30-40-km horizontal flashes that are seen on Earth.  相似文献   

Convective cores in galactic cooling flows     

Alexei Kritsuk  Tomasz Plewa  Ewald Müller 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2001,326(1):11-22

We use hydrodynamic simulations with adaptive grid refinement to study the dependence of hot gas flows in X-ray luminous giant elliptical galaxies on the efficiency of heat supply to the gas. We consider a number of potential heating mechanisms including Type Ia supernovae and sporadic nuclear activity of a central supermassive black hole. As a starting point for this research we use an equilibrium hydrostatic recycling model. We show that a compact cooling inflow develops, if the heating is slightly insufficient to counterbalance radiative cooling of the hot gas in the central few kiloparsecs. An excessive heating in the centre, instead, drives a convectively unstable outflow. We model the onset of the instability and a quasi-steady convective regime in the core of the galaxy in two dimensions assuming axial symmetry.
Provided the power of net energy supply in the core is not too high, the convection remains subsonic. The convective pattern is dominated by buoyancy driven large-scale mushroom-like structures. Unlike in the case of a cooling inflow, the X-ray surface brightness of an (on average) isentropic convective core does not display a sharp maximum at the centre. A hybrid model, which combines a subsonic peripheral cooling inflow with an inner convective core, appears to be stable. We also discuss observational implications of these results.  相似文献   

A new concept for estimating the influence of vegetation on throughfall kinetic energy using aerial laser scanning     

Johannes Antenor Senn  Fabian Ewald Fassnacht  Jana Eichel  Steffen Seitz  Sebastian Schmidtlein 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2020,45(7):1487-1498

Soil loss caused by erosion has enormous economic and social impacts. Splash effects of rainfall are an important driver of erosion processes; however, effects of vegetation on splash erosion are still not fully understood. Splash erosion processes under vegetation are investigated by means of throughfall kinetic energy (TKE). Previous studies on TKE utilized a heterogeneous set of plant and canopy parameters to assess vegetation's influence on erosion by rain splash but remained on individual plant- or plot-levels. In the present study we developed a method for the area-wide estimation of the influence of vegetation on TKE using remote sensing methods. In a literature review we identified key vegetation variables influencing splash erosion and developed a conceptual model to describe the interaction of vegetation and raindrops. Our model considers both amplifying and protecting effect of vegetation layers according to their height above the ground and aggregates them into a new indicator: the Vegetation Splash Factor (VSF). It is based on the proportional contribution of drips per layer, which can be calculated via the vegetation cover profile from airborne LiDAR datasets. In a case study, we calculated the VSF using a LiDAR dataset for La Campana National Park in central Chile. The studied catchment comprises a heterogeneous mosaic of vegetation layer combinations and types and is hence well suited to test the approach. We calculated a VSF map showing the relation between vegetation structure and its expected influence on TKE. Mean VSF was 1.42, indicating amplifying overall effect of vegetation on TKE that was present in 81% of the area. Values below 1 indicating a protective effect were calculated for 19% of the area. For future work, we recommend refining the weighting factor by calibration to local conditions using field-reference data and comparing the VSF with TKE field measurements. © 2020 The Authors.

Magnetostratigraphy of mid-Cretaceous limestones from the Sierra Madre of northeastern Mexico     

Bradford M. Clement  Ewald Poetisi  Timothy J. Bralower  Emily CoBabe  Jose Longoria 《Geophysical Journal International》2000,143(1):219-229

We present the results of a palaeomagnetic study of four mid-Cretaceous limestone sections exposed in northeastern Mexico. The limestones are weakly magnetized and exhibit two- to three-component magnetizations. These magnetization components appear to be carried by both a sulphide mineral and a magnetite-titanomagnetite mineral. The sulphide mineral carries a reverse polarity overprint that often makes it difficult to isolate definitively the higher-unblocking-temperature component. The high-unblocking-temperature component is well defined in the upper portion of the Santa Rosa Canyon section and in the Cienega del Toro section and passes the fold test. The characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) inclinations agree well with predicted mid-Cretaceous inclinations for these sites, although the declinations differ by more than 100°. The relative rotation between these two sites probably occurred as the thrust sheets were emplaced during Laramide deformation. At two of the sections, namely Cienega del Toro and the overturned Los Chorros sections, only normal polarity directions are observed. The La Boca Canyon and Santa Rosa Canyon sections exhibit zones of both normal and reverse polarity magnetization. Correlation of these polarity zones with the geomagnetic polarity timescale provides a time framework for lithostratigraphic and palaeoceanographic studies of these sections.  相似文献   

Using multispectral landsat and sentinel-2 satellite data to investigate vegetation change at Mount St. Helens since the great volcanic eruption in 1980     

Katharina Teltscher  Fabian Ewald Fassnacht 《山地科学学报》2018,15(9):1851-1867

Long-term analyses of vegetation succession after catastrophic events are of high interest for an improved understanding of succession dynamics. However, in many studies such analyses were restricted to plot-based measurements. Contrarily, spatially continuous observations of succession dynamics over extended areas and time-periods are sparse. Here, we applied a change vector analysis (CVA) to investigate vegetation succession dynamics at Mount St. Helens after the great volcanic eruption in 1980 using Landsat. We additionally applied a supervised random forest classification using Sentinel-2 data to map the currently prevailing vegetation types. Change vector analysis was performed with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the urban index (UI) for three subsequent decades after the eruption as well as for the whole observation time between 1984 and 2016. The influence of topography on the current vegetation distribution was examined by comparing altitude, slope angles and aspect values of vegetation classes derived by the random forest classification. Wilcox- Rank-Sum test was applied to test for significant differences between topographic properties of the vegetation classes inside and outside of the areas affected by the eruption. For the full time period, a total area of 516 km² was identified as re-vegetated, whereas the area and magnitude of re-growing vegetation decreased during the three decades and migrated closer to the volcanic crater. Vegetation losses were mainly observed in regions unaffected by the eruption and related mostly to timber harvesting. The vegetation type classification reached a high overall accuracy of approximately 90%. 36 years after the eruption, coniferous and deciduous trees have established at formerly devastated areas dominating with a proportion of 66%, whereas shrubs are more abundant in riparian zones. Sparse vegetation dominates at regions very close to the crater. Elevation was found to have a great influence on the reestablishment and distribution of the vegetation classes within the devastated areas showing in almost all cases significant differences in altitude distribution. Slope was less important for the different classes - only representing significantly higher values for meadows, whereas aspect seems to have no notable influence on the reestablishment of vegetation at Mount St. Helens. We conclude that major vegetation succession dynamics after catastrophic events can be assessed and characterized over large areas from freely available remote sensing data and hence contribute to an improved understanding of succession dynamics.  相似文献
