The effects of wave-induced radiation stress on storm surge were simulated during Typhoon Saomai using a wave-current coupled model based on ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) ocean model and SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) wave model.The results show that radiation stress can cause both set-up and set-down in the storm surge.Wave-induced set-up near the coast can be explained by decreasing significant wave heights as the waves propagate shoreward in an approximately uniform direction;wave-induced set-down far from the coast can be explained by the waves propagating in an approximately uniform direction with increasing significant wave heights.The shoreward radiation stress is the essential reason for the wave-induced set-up along the coast.The occurrence of set-down can be also explained by the divergence of the radiation stress.The maximum wave-induced set-up occurs on the right side of the Typhoon path,whereas the maximum wave induced set-down occurs on the left side.  相似文献

THE LEGENDARY “REDISCOVERY” OF GEORGE PERKINS MARSH     

WILLIAM A. KOELSCH 《Geographical review》2012,102(4):510-524

The conventional narrative regarding the American reception of George Perkins Marsh, author of Man and Nature (1864), is that his work and ideas were “lost,”“forgotten,” or “neglected” until Lewis Mumford “rediscovered” him and introduced him to geographers at the University of California‐Berkeley through The Brown Decades (Mumford [1931] 1955) and until Carl Sauer made him known to the profession at large beginning in 1938. This article upends the conventional narrative by looking at earlier references to Marsh's later versions of Man and Nature, which were published as The Earth as Modified by Human Action from 1874 to 1907. Analysis reveals that a number of geographers and historians cited these editions between 1875 and the early 1950s. Examining the legend of loss and rediscovery suggests the value of methods utilized in reception studies for research on the history of geography.  相似文献   

The place of rural, remote and least-wealthy small islands in international water development: the nexus of geography–technology sustainability in Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia     

WILLIAM JAMES SMITH JR 《The Geographical journal》2008,174(3):251-268

Many least-wealthy, rural, remote and resource-poor small island communities are unlikely to benefit from high-profile global water improvement initiatives. Their small landmasses, geologic composition, geography, social and technological isolation, colonial history, and weak educational and financial resources constitute significant barriers to improving access to safe drinking water. This paper discusses the relatively unique position of such island societies in the international community, providing a case study of the Federated States of Micronesia that integrates data and information pertaining to water resources management and governance, spanning from the island village to national scale. A vision is offered regarding the interaction between small island human and biophysical water systems, manifesting ways to pursue water resource development to improve public health which are constructed to be economically, physically and culturally sustainable.  相似文献   

The potential of perennial cave ice in isotope palaeoclimatology     

CHARLES J. YONGE  WILLIAM D. MACDONALD 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1999,28(3):357-362

Perennial ice from caves on and to the east of the Canadian Great Divide yield δ¹⁸O and δD values, which are unusually high measurements when compared with the average precipitation for the region. Furthermore, these ice data fall below and along lines of lower slope than the Global Meteoric Water Line. To explain the observed relationships, we propose the following process. A vapour-ice isotopic fractionation mechanism operates on warm-season vapour when it precipitates as hoar ice on entering the caves. The subsequent fall of hoar to the cave floor through mechanical overloading, along with ice derived from ground-water seepage (with a mean annual isotopic composition), results in massive ice formation of a mixed composition. This mixed composition is what is observed in the characteristic relationships found here. Such findings suggest that a warm versus cold climate interpretation for ancient cave ice may be the opposite of that found in the more familiar polar and glacial ice cores.  相似文献

Zircon microstriators in the sand of auriferous Andean tills: fine tools and noble metals     

WILLIAM C. MAHANEY  MICHAEL W. MILNER 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1998,27(2):140-152

Chemically inert and physically hard minerals, of which zircon is universally present and usually abundant, are minor but important components of glacial gold and tin placer deposits. Zircons and other much less common resistant minerals inflict major damage on light minerals, of which quartz is the dominant, chemically resistant member. Because of its sharpness inherited from a strong crystal morphology, and overall prismatic form, zircon is especially important as an abrasive mineral in glacial systems. Its chemically inert nature, its dominancc in terms of hardness over light minerals, and its abundance amongst other hard minerals makes it unique and important as a microstriator. Transported in a highly viscous glacial medium, it is capable of damaging other softer grains with aggressive crushing, chipping, striating, abrading and polishing processes. These occur in both coarse-grained gravelly sand and in fine-grained clayey silt matrices at the base of the icc. Zircon grains tend to serve many functions, initially as inclusion tools in larger feldspar grains and as 'studs' in quartzite grains. Wearing first on points, and later, following liberation, they assume a shape by honing, faceting and fracturing as tools and as grit that allows them to act as microstriators, inflicting damage on other particles in the basal ice. With a hardness of 7.5, lacking significant cleavage, and exhibiting strong crystal form. the finer-grained zircons appear to abrade and striate quartz (hardness 7.0). feldspars (hardness 6.0). garnets (hardness 6.5–7.5), and gold (hardness 2.5-3.0). A detailed study of Bolivian tills shows the dominant form of the zircon striator to be an elongate, pencil shape (euhedral polygonal prism with sharp, pyramidal terminations) that shows various degrees of abrasion, and ranges from wide grains with dull edges to narrow grains with sharp edges (typical pencil form).  相似文献   

Assessing the completeness of the deglacial-marine stratigraphic record on west Spitsbergen by accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating     

STEVEN L. FORMAN  SCOTT J. LEHMAN  WILLIAM M. BRIGGS 《Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research》1993,22(1):1-6

The record of Quaternary glaciations of coastal areas is frequently preserved as a raised deglacial-emergence sequence. Detailed radiocarbon dating of foraminifera and marine macrofossils from a representative deglacial sequence on west Spitsbergen document two periods of sedimentation at c . 11,400 BP and at 9500 BP that together span < 500 years. The incompleteness of this record (< 25%), the highly episodic nature of sedimentation, the dominance of local glacial and environmental effects and the presence of allochthonous foraminifera inhibits ascertaining the relation between deglaciation of Svalbard/Barents Sea and changes in thermohaline circulation in the Norwegian Sea. The Late Weichselian and older deglacial sequences on west Spitsbergen have a similar sedimentologic succession. Thus, one possibility is that older raised-marine deglacial sequences on Svalbard and other Arctic areas may represent similar brief intervals, potentially confounding correlations across the Arctic and with well established events (i.e. the Eemian Interglacial) at lower latitudes.  相似文献
