This paper is devoted to verify the consistency of the algorithmic Weak Stability Boundary definition concerning the achievement of capture-escape detection, through examining the transitions produced by the implementation of this definition. Our main goal is to show that many types of spurious transitions concerning capture-escape behavior are found besides the expected transitions due to the separatrix role of the hyperbolic invariant manifolds of the central manifold of the collinear equilibria of the Planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem. We identify and characterize authentic and spurious transitions and discuss their spatial distribution along the boundary for sets of initial conditions with high eccentricity, showing the frequent occurrence of spurious transitions and of collisional trajectories. Also, we investigate smooth and fractal-like portions of the boundary. Finally, we propose an alternative stability boundary definition based on the effective detection of capture-escape transitions. 相似文献

The discovery of marine to brackish and fresh-water carbonates in the inner Agrio fold-and-thrust belt at Pichaihue, Neuquén, Argentina, located to the west of the Andean orogenic front, imposes important constraints on the paleogeography of the first Atlantic transgression in the Neuquén Basin related to the break-up of Western Gondwana. The constraints on the timing and areal extent of these deposits shed light on the early uplift history of the southern Andes. These limestones are part of the Maastrichtian–Danian Malargüe Group, which was previously only known from its exposures in the extra-Andean area, representing foreland basin deposits. The presence of stromatolites, oncoids, serpulids, bivalves and gastropods as well as silicified stems of macrophytes indicates a shallow marine, partially brackish environment associated with non-marine deposits. These strata are interfingered with and overlie distal tuffs and proximal pyroclastic flows, whose geochemical characteristics point to a magmatic arc source. SHRIMP U–Pb dating of volcanic zircons of these tuffs yielded an age of 64.3 ± 0.9 Ma that confirms the correlation to the Maastrichtian–Paleocene marine transgression from the Atlantic Ocean. The change in the paleoslope of the basin from Pacific Ocean transgressions to this Atlantic transgression is related to the uplift and deformation of the Agrio fold-and-thrust belt. The Pichaihue Limestone is unconformably deposited on volcanic agglomerates which in turn unconformably overlie Early Cretaceous deposits. Based on these data, it is confirmed that the Cretaceous uplift of the Andes was episodic at these latitudes, with a first pulse in the Cenomanian and a second one in pre-Maastrichtian times. The episodic uplift is also related to an eastward migration of the thrust front and the volcanic arc, related to a previously proposed shallowing of the subduction zone. These episodes were controlled by the Western Gondwana break-up and the beginning of absolute motion of South America toward the west. 相似文献

This contribution deals with fast Earth–Moon transfers with ballistic capture in the patched three-body model. We compute ensembles of preliminary solutions using a model that takes into account the relative inclination of the orbital planes of the primaries. The ballistic capture orbits around the Moon are obtained relying on the hyperbolic invariant structures associated to the collinear Lagrangian points of the Earth–Moon system, and the Sun–Earth system portion of the transfers are quasi-periodic orbits obtained by a genetic algorithm. The trajectories are designed to be good initial guesses to search optimal cost-efficient short-time Earth–Moon transfers with ballistic capture in more realistic models. 相似文献

The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds are an important component of the climate system at hemispheric and global scales.
Variations in their intensity and latitudinal position through an ice-age cycle have been proposed as important drivers of
global climate change due to their influence on deep-ocean circulation and changes in atmospheric CO2. The position, intensity, and associated climatology of the southern westerlies during the last glacial maximum (LGM), however,
is still poorly understood from empirical and modelling standpoints. Here we analyse the behaviour of the southern westerlies
during the LGM using four coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations carried out by the Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison
Project Phase 2 (PMIP2). We analysed the atmospheric circulation by direct inspection of the winds and by using a cyclone
tracking software to indicate storm tracks. The models suggest that changes were most significant during winter and over the
Pacific ocean. For this season and region, three out four models indicate decreased wind intensities at the near surface as
well as in the upper troposphere. Although the LGM atmosphere is colder and the equator to pole surface temperature gradient
generally increases, the tropospheric temperature gradients actually decrease, explaining the weaker circulation. We evaluated
the atmospheric influence on the Southern Ocean by examining the effect of wind stress on the Ekman pumping. Again, three
of the models indicate decreased upwelling in a latitudinal band over the Southern Ocean. All models indicate a drier LGM
than at present with a clear decrease in precipitation south of 40°S over the oceans. We identify important differences in
precipitation anomalies over the land masses at regional scale, including a drier climate over New Zealand and wetter over
NW Patagonia. 相似文献

The Atuel depocenter of the Neuquén basin originated as an Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic rift system, later inverted during the Andean contractional deformation. In order to study the extensional architecture and the kinematic evolution of this depocenter, we collected a large amount of field and sub-surface data, consisting of slip data from outcrop-scale normal faults, thickness and facies distribution within the synrift deposits, and structural data from angular and progressive unconformities. The Atuel depocenter has a NNW trend, showing a bimodal distribution of NNW and WNW major faults (first and second order faults). On the other hand, from kinematic indicators measured on outcrop-scale faults (third and fourth order faults), we found a mean NE internal extension direction, which is oblique to the general trend of the sub-basin. Taking these particular characteristics into account, we interpreted the Atuel depocenter as an oblique rift system. We evaluated two mechanisms in order to explain the development of this transtensional system: 1) reactivation of upper-crustal NNW-oriented Paleozoic shear zones, and 2) oblique stretching of a previous NNW-oriented lithospheric weakness zone. 相似文献

Nine models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project version 3 dataset are employed to examine projected changes in the South American Monsoon System annual cycle by comparing the 20th Century and SRES A2 scenarios. The following hypotheses are examined: (1) the warm season climate responses in the Southeast, Continental South Atlantic Convergence Zone (CSACZ) and Monsoon regions are related by regional circulation and moisture transport changes which, in turn, must be consistent with robust large-scale changes in the climate system, and (2) an increased threshold for convection in a warmer world may affect the timing of warm season rains. The present analysis reaffirms that the Southeast region is likely to experience increased precipitation through the warm season. Additional results exhibit more uncertainty due to large inter-model variance and disagreement in the A2 scenarios. Nevertheless several statistically significant results are found. In the Monsoon and to a lesser extent in the CSACZ region, the multi-model median suggests reduced precipitation during spring (Sep–Nov). These continental precipitation changes are accompanied by a southward shift of the maximum precipitation in the South Atlantic Convergence Zone. Changes in circulation include a poleward displaced South Atlantic Anticyclone (SAAC) and enhanced moisture transport associated with a strengthened northerly low level flow east of the Andes during spring. Moisture transport divergence calculations indicate unchanged divergence in the Monsoon region during spring and increased convergence in the Southeast throughout the warm season. The circulation and moisture transport changes suggest the increased precipitation in the Southeast during spring may be related to changes in the SALLJ and SAAC, which both enhance moisture transport to the Southeast. The seasonally dry Monsoon region is further affected by an increased threshold for convection in the warmer, more humid and stable climate of the 21st century, which combined with the circulation changes may weaken the onset of the rainy season. Although there is substantial variability among the models, and the results are represented by small changes compared with the multi-model variance, their statistical significance combined with their consistency with expected robust large scale changes provides a measure of confidence in otherwise tentative results. Further testing of the relationships presented here will be required to fully understand projected changes in the South American Monsoon. 相似文献

Twenty-first century climate model projections show an amplification of the annual cycle in tropical precipitation with increased
strength in both wet and dry seasons, but uncertainty is large and few studies have examined transition seasons. Here we analyze
coupled climate model projections of global land monsoons and show a redistribution of precipitation from spring to summer
in northern (North America, West Africa and Southeast Asia) and southern (South America, Southern Africa) regions. The annual
cycle changes are global in scale. Two mechanisms, remote (based on tropospheric stability) and local (based on low level
and surface moisture), are evaluated through the annual cycle. Increases in tropospheric stability persist from winter into
spring and are reinforced by a reduction in surface moisture conditions, suggesting that in spring both remote and local mechanisms
act to inhibit convection. This enhanced spring convective barrier leads to reduced early season rainfall; however, once sufficient
increases in moisture (by transport) are achieved, decreases in tropospheric stability result in increased precipitation during
the late rainy season. Further examination of this mechanism is needed in observations and models, as the projected changes
would have substantial implications for agriculture, water management, and disaster preparedness. 相似文献

The present contribution investigates the applicability of the associated initial condition sets generated by the algorithmic definition of the weak stability boundary in the lunar sphere of influence in the context of Earth-to-Moon low-energy capture transfers. First, we test the applicability of the initial condition sets in view of two mission strategies, namely, direct inner transfers in the Planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem and external transfers based in the Patched Three-Body approach. Then, we check the consistency of the stability classification regarding the selection of captured solutions, identifying the stable subsets which provide temporary capture solutions. Additionally, we show the diversity of behaviors classified as stable by the current stability criteria of the algorithmic definition, which indicates that the algorithmic criteria must be reviewed in order to guarantee that the stable solutions correspond solely to low-energy capture orbits. The combination of our analyses allows the detection of the subsets of stable initial conditions that provide feasible Earth-to-Moon transfer solutions. Specifically, we show an external low-energy Earth- to-Moon transfer with zero midcourse correction at the patching section. 相似文献

Existing uses for sulfur are relatively advanced and offer limited opportunities to consume significant new supplies. Currently,
sulfur is in net surplus on a global basis, and with environmental regulations, greater sulfur recovery from petroleum and
gas processing is mandated. The outlook is clear: there will be substantial and growing surpluses in global sulfur supply
in the foreseeable future. Sulfur prices are likely to be under pressure, and producers could face substantial and growing
disposal fees. Therefore, new markets must be found for sulfur to avoid disposal crises. One potential new market is the production
of sulfur-solidified concrete. This is a thermoplastic composite of mineral aggregates bound together with chemically modified
sulfur. The product is more durable than Portland cement. There may be monetizeable benefits in reducing greenhouse gas emissions
that would enhance the attraction of sulfur solidified cement applications. The main objective of this study is to evaluate
experimentally the potential use of sulfur as a solidifying agent for hazardous waste. To achieve this objective, the study
reviewed the sulfur concrete literature, analyzed locally produced sulfur, evaluated a number of sulfur polymer modifiers
and physical stabilizing agents, designed a set of experiments and evaluated the produced product for its hydro-mechanical-chemical
properties. The results indicated that the manufactured sulfur polymer cement is an excellent candidate for: waste management
practices such as solidification/stabilization of hazardous waste; barrier systems for landfilling of hazardous waste; and
waste water treatment plants. 相似文献
