Cyclotron amplification of geomagnetic micropulsations Pc1 in the magnetosphere

A numerical analysis of cyclotron instabilities is carried out by computing the dispersion relation for a three component cold plasma-beam system. Rates of growth and damping for various values of the stream density are calculated from the dispersion relation. The rates of growth and damping increase monotonically as the number density of the proton stream increases. It is found that the frequencies at the rates of maximum growth and the damping decrease slightly to lower frequencies and a sharp peak at these frequencies becomes blunt. The minimum e-folding times of an ion cyclotron wave for (a) σ_s = 10⁻⁴, σ_i = 10⁻² and (b) σ_s = 10⁻¹, σ_i = 10⁻² are about 3·84 and 0·16 sec respectively in the vicinity of the equatorial plane at 6 Re, where σ_s and σ_i are the ratios of the beam density N_s and the helium ion (H₆⁺) density N_i to the total positive ions in the plasma-beam system.  相似文献   

CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Flux Measurements over the Sea Surface by Eddy Correlation and Aerodynamic Techniques     

Toru?Iwata  Keiko?Yoshikawa  Katsutoshi?Nishimura  Yoshihisa?Higuchi  Takao?Yamashita  Shigeru?Kato  Eiji?OhtakiEmail author 《Journal of Oceanography》2004,60(6):995-1000

The measurements of the vertical transport of CO₂ were carried out over the Sea of Japan using the specially designed pier of Kyoto University on September 20 to 22, 2000. CO₂ fluxes were measured by the eddy correlation and aerodynamic techniques. Both techniques showed comparable CO₂ fluxes during sea breeze conditions: −0.001 to −0.08 mg m⁻²s⁻¹ with the mean of −0.05 mg m⁻²s⁻¹. This means that the measuring site satisfies the fetch requirement for meteorological observations under sea breeze conditions. Moreover, the eddy diffusivity coefficient used in the aerodynamic technique is found to be consistent with the coefficient used in the eddy correlation technique. The present result leads us to conclude that the aerodynamic technique may be applicable to underway CO₂ flux measurements over the ocean and may be used in place of the bulk technique. The important point is the need to maintain a measuring accuracy of CO₂ concentration difference of the order of 0.1 ppmv on the research vessels or the buoys.  相似文献   

Source models for the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki earthquake tsunami   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

A source model for the 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki tsunami must satisfy certain conditions. Such conditions are presented in this paper, and two methods are used to determine the best source model for this event. A trial-and-error method selects DCRC-17a as the best among 24 different models. This model has three fault planes dipping westward. To reproduce well the tide gauge records at two locations, an inversion analysis is used to modify the dislocation of DCRC-17a.  相似文献   

Variation of rare earth concentrations in pigeonitic and hypersthenic rock series from Izu-Hakone region,Japan     

Toshihiko Yajima  Hideo Higuchi  Hiroshi Nagasawa 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1972,35(3):235-244

The abundances of rare earth elements in 5 each of aphyric volcanic rocks of pigeonitic and hypersthenic rock series from Izu-Hakone region have been determined by neutron activation analysis. Pigeonitic rock series show rare earth patterns with relative depletion of lighter rare earths (low lanthanum type) and large increase in rare earth abundances with differentiation. Hypersthenic rock series show higher lanthanum abundances (high lanthanum type) compared with pigeonitic rock series. The differences in rare earth patterns between two rock series are compatible with the theory of independent magmatic generation of these two series. Variation of rare earth patterns in both series have been examined by a model of magmatic differentiation based on the observed rare earth partition coefficients.  相似文献   

Chemical fractionations in meteorites—X. Ureilites     

Hideo Higuchi  John W Morgan  R Ganapathy  Edward Anders 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1976,40(12):1563-1571

Four ureilites (Dyalpur, Goalpara, Haverö, and Novo Urei) were analyzed by radiochemical neutron activation analysis for Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Ge, In, Ir, Ni, Rb, Re, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, and U. An attempt has been made to resolve the data into contributions from the parent ultramafic rock and the injected, carbon- and gas-rich vein material. Interelement correlations, supported by analyses of separated vein material (WANKE et al, 1972), suggest that the vein material is enriched about 10-fold in refractory Ir and Re over moderately volatile Ni and Au, and is low in volatiles except Ge, C, and noble gases. It appears to be a refractory-rich nebular condensate that precipitated carbon by surface catalytic reactions at ˜500K and trapped noble gases but few other volatiles. The closest known analogue is a Cr- and C-rich fraction from the Allende meteorite, highly enriched in heavy noble gases and noble metals. By analogy with Allende, the gas-bearing phase in ureilites may have been an Fe, Cr-sulfide.

The ultramafic rock contains siderophiles and chalcophiles (Ni, Au, Ge, S, Se) at ˜0.05 of Cl chondrite level, and highly volatile elements (Rb, Cs, Bi, Tl, Br, Te, In, Cd) at ˜0.01 Cl level. It probably represents the residue from partial melting of a C3V-like chondrite body, under conditions where phase separation was incomplete so that some liquid was retained. The vein material was injected into this rock at some later time.  相似文献   

Chemical fractionations in meteorites—IX. C3 chondrites     

Edward Anders  Hideo Higuchi  R. Ganapathy  John W. Morgan 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1976,40(9):1131-1139

Four C3V chondrites (Grosnaja, Kaba, Mokoia, Vigarano) and three C3O chondrites (Felix, Kainsaz, and Lancé) were analyzed by radiochemical neutron activation for 17 trace elements. Both classes show a typical chondritic step pattern, reflecting loss of volatiles during chondrule formation. Elements condensing above 1300 K (U, Re, Ir, Ni) are present in essentially Cl chondrite proportions, while moderately volatile elements condensing between 1300 K and 800 K (Ge, Rb, Ag) are depleted by a factor of 0.44. However, elements condensing below 700 K (S, Cs, Bi, Tl, Br, Se, Te, In, Cd) are depleted to a still greater degree, and more so in the Ornans subclass (factor of 0.24, except Cd 0.007) than in the Vigarano subclass (factor of 0.29). This additional depletion may be due to a slight (less than 3-fold) dust-gas fractionation, by settling of dust to the median plane of the solar nebula. Among other chondrite classes, ordinary chondrites show a similar depletion, but C2 chondrites do not. Possibly the undepleted meteorites formed in one of the convection zones of the nebula predicted by Cameron and Pine, whereas the depleted meteorites formed in a quiescent region.The condensation of chalocophile elements as a function of H₂S partial pressure is discussed, in an attempt to explain the drastic difference in Cd abundance between the two subclasses. It appears that the $\text{H}{}_2\text{S}\text{H}{}_2$ ratio is the key variable. C3O's seem to have condensed in a region where enough metallic Fe was present to buffer the H₂S pressure, while C3V's condensed in a more oxidized region, where H₂S was in excess. Accretion temperatures, for an assumed nebular pressure of 10^?5 atm, were between 415 and 430 K for C3O's and less than 440 K for C3V's.Two slightly volatile elements, Sb and Au, show variable depletion, presumably reflecting variable loss during chondrule formation. Indeed, their depletion correlates with the abundance of iron-poor olivine, a measure of the peak temperature and time during chondrule formation.  相似文献   

Volatile and siderophile trace elements in anorthositic rocks from Fiskenaesset. West Greenland: comparison with lunar and meteoritic analogues     

John W Morgan  R Ganapathy  H Higuchi 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1976,40(8):861-887

Seventeen trace elements (Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Cs, Ge, Ir, Ni, Rb, Re, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, U, Zn) were analyzed by radiochemical neutron activation and 13 other elements (Ce, Co, Cr, Eu, Fe, Hf, La, Lu, Na, Sc, Sm, Tb, Yb) by instrumental neutron activation in a total of 12 rocks from the layered anorthositic complex at Fiskenaesset, West Greenland and in the plagioclase-rich unbrecciated eucrite, Serra de Magé.Garnet anorthosite 84428, which has an unusually sodic plagioclase, is spectacularly enriched in Cs, K, Rb. Tl and, to a lesser degree, Te. This appears to be the result of later metasomatism and not a reflection of fractionation trends within the anorthositic complex. For the remaining Fiskenaesset rocks, a factor analysis yields 5 principal factors for linear data for 22 elements and 6 factors for data transformed (log, ³√, √) to give approximately normal distributions. Linear correlations are controlled by high values, whereas the logarithmic transform increases the influence of the lowest values. Enrichment of several elements in chromitite 132022 underlies linear Factor 1. Six of these elements Co, Cr, Fe, Ir, Ni, Zn and possibly Re are probably hosted by chromite. In other zones of the intrusion, different fractionation trends may be more important, since in the transformed analysis these elements divide between Factor 1 (Co, Zn, Ni, Fe) and Factor 4 (Ir, Cr and also Au). Linear Factor 2 reflects the strong mutual correlation between Tl, Rb and An, the anorthite content of plagioclase. Transformed Factor 3 emphasizes the anticorrelation of Na and Sm with An. The positive correlations of Cs, U and Ge (linear Factor 3; transformed Factor 2) are largely due to their concentration in later crystallizates, but enrichment in lower zone gabbros of high An content perhaps indicates concentration in minor or accessory cumulate minerals. Flat chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns in several anorthosites (except for a small positive Eu anomaly) suggests that the Fiskenaesset magma was relatively unfractionated.Factor 4 (linear) and Factor 5 (transformed) reflects the geochemical coherence of Se and Te. The sympathetic enrichment of Sb and Cd in 3 rocks, resulting in Factor 5 (linear) and Factor 6 (transformed) may be due to the lack of a suitable Zn sulfide host for Cd.In 3 rocks of true anorthosite composition, 8 volatile elements show rather constant abundance when normalized to Cl chondrites (mean 4.2 ± 0.4% Cl), possibly suggesting that volatile-rich material was accreted late in the Earth's formation, perhaps after core segregation. These anorthosites are higher than lunar anorthosite 15415 by a factor of 58 ± 9 in volatile elements. Siderophile and chalcophile elements are much more variable in Cl-normalized abundances in both lunar and terrestrial anorthosites, but surprisingly give somewhat similar Earth/Moon abundance ratios.Volatile elements in terrestrial oceanic basalts and lunar mare basalts are not as uniformly abundant as in anorthosites. but nevertheless yield a similar Earth/Moon ratio of 44 ± 8.Volatile elements in Serra de Magé are more abundant than in lunar anorthosites, but lower than in terrestrial equivalents, averaging (3.6 ± 0.8) × 10^?3C1.  相似文献   

Japanese early-warning for debris flows and slope failures using rainfall indices with Radial Basis Function Network   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2

Early-warning systems for natural disasters are important tools for disaster risk reduction and for achieving sustainable development and livelihoods. In 2005, the Japanese government initiated a new nationwide early-warning system for landslides disasters. The main methodology of the system is to set a criterion for occurrences of debris flows and slope failures based on several rainfall indices (60-min cumulative rainfall and soil–water index) in each 5-km grid mesh covering all of Japan. Because many of the records of mass movements are lacking in scientific precision on timing and location, the system applies Radial Basis Function Network methods to set the criterion based primarily on rainfall data recorded as not triggering disasters. Since the end of March 2007, under torrential rainfall conditions, early-warning information has been disseminated as part of weather news using TV, radio, and the Internet. Because of the increasing worldwide recognition of the importance of early-warning systems for natural disaster reduction, the aim of this article is to introduce the new Japanese early-warning system to the international landslide community. In this article, the method, the system, and the result of its application to landslide disasters in 2009 are presented.  相似文献

Atmospheric modulation of surface heat fluxes at Ocean Weather Station P on a decadal time‐scale     

Kaz Higuchi 《大气与海洋》2013,51(4):471-480

Abstract

A 30‐year record (1951–1980) of surface heat fluxes at Ocean Weather Station P in the northeastern Pacific Ocean (50°N, 145°W) was examined for differences in the interdecadal variation between fail and winter. During the latter part of the 1950s and the early 1960s, the winter surface heat flux from the ocean to the atmosphere diminished significantly whereas the fall heat flux increased slightly This difference in the modulation of the winter heat flux from the fall heat flux during this period appears to be caused by the presence of an atmospheric circulation anomaly resembling that of the Pacific/North America (PNA) low‐frequency variability mode during the winter season.  相似文献
