The Triana PlasMag Faraday Cup (FC) will be able to determine speed, flow angles, temperature, and density of the main solar
wind ion species with a time resolution of better than one second. Thus, the Triana PlasMag FC will enable resolution of spatial
structures as small as a few hundred kilometers as the structures convect past the spacecraft. Under typical solar wind conditions,
that size is comparable to a few proton gyroradii.

Marine micropaleontology must in the future provide more precise chronologic and paleoenvironmental information, which in turn must be based on better, more consistent taxonomic and distributional data. Better tools for synthesis and standardization of this data are needed, as the ever expanding published literature is rapidly becoming unmanageable by purely manual compilation methods. The micropaleontology group at the ETH has developed a large relational database of marine microfossil data to partially meet this need. It currently contains biogeographic data on the distribution in Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) holes of nearly 8,000 species of Cenozoic planktonic foraminifera, radiolaria, diatoms and calcareous nannofossils. The database also includes full stratigraphic occurrence (range chart) data for these fossil groups from more than 100 selected Neogene holes. A particular feature of the database is that all sample information and species names in the original reports are linked to newly created, updatable, comprehensive age models and synonymy lists which reflect modern chronology and taxonomic usage. Searches of the database automatically make use of this information in producing reports. Species ' occurrences, including first and last occurrence information, can be further analyzed using external spreadsheet and statistics packages; plotted by mapping programs; or displayed by a new program which creates composite age-range charts. 相似文献

Estimates for the maximum number of elements of non-redundant configurations on integer square and hexagonal grids of given
sizes are derived (a “non-redundant” configuration implies that the vector differences between its elements are all distinct).
When projecting a large 2-D interferometer or a telescope, such an estimate can be used as a guide for evaluating the maximum
possible number of antennas in a non-redundant configuration that can be arranged within a given area. The suggested estimates
are empirical and based on the available data. They are obtained by reducing the problem to the linear case and by generalizing
the method applied therein. Examples of applying the method are presented. 相似文献

Avoiding dangerous climate change will require a rapid transition away from fossil fuels. By some estimates, global consumption and production of fossil fuels—particularly coal and oil—will need to end almost entirely within 50 years. Given the scale of such a transition, nations may need to consider policies that constrain growth in fossil fuel supplies in addition to those that reduce demand. Here, we examine the emissions implications of a supply-constraining measure that was rapidly gaining momentum in the United States (US) under the Obama administration: ceasing the issuance of new leases for fossil fuel extraction on federal lands and waters. Such a measure could reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 280 million tons annually by 2030, comparable to that of other major climate policies adopted or considered by the Obama administration. Our findings suggest that measures to constrain fossil fuel supply—though not currently viable in a US Trump administration—deserve further consideration at subnational levels in the US or by other countries now, and by future US administrations. 相似文献

Reducing fossil fuel supply is necessary to meet the Paris Agreement goal to keep warming ‘well below 2°C’, yet the Agreement is silent on the topic of fossil fuels. This article outlines reasons why it is important that Parties to the Agreement find ways to more explicitly address the phasing out of fossil fuel production under the UNFCCC. It describes how countries aiming to keep fossil fuel supply in line with Paris goals could articulate and report their actions within the current architecture of the Agreement. It also outlines specific mechanisms of the Paris Agreement through which issues related to the curtailment of fossil fuel supply can be addressed. Mapping out a transition away from fossil fuels – and facilitating this transition under the auspices of the UNFCCC process – can enhance the ambition and effectiveness of national and international climate mitigation efforts.
Key policy insights
The international commitment to limit global average temperature increases to ‘well below 2°C’ provides a strong rationale for Parties to the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC to pursue a phase-down in fossil fuel production, not just consumption.
Several countries have already made commitments to address fossil fuel supply, by agreeing to phase down coal or oil exploration and production.
Integrating these commitments into the UNFCCC process would link them to global climate goals, and ensure they form part of a broader global effort to transition away from fossil fuels.
The Paris Agreement provides a number of new opportunities for Parties to address fossil fuel production.

Using WIND magnetic field (MFI) and plasma (SWE) data, an `average' profile of an interplanetary magnetic cloud was developed in terms of five physical (scalar) quantities based on appropriately selected individual clouds. The period of study was from early 1995 to late in 1998, primarily during the quiet part of a solar cycle. The physical quantities are: magnetic field magnitude, proton density, solar wind bulk speed, proton thermal speed, and proton plasma beta. Selection of the clouds was based on two considerations: (1) their `quality', determined objectively from the application of a static magnetic field model of cloud field structure, had to be good, and (2) distant spacecraft approaches from the cloud axes were not accepted. Nineteen clouds resulted out of 35 original cases. A superposed epoch analysis was performed on the 5 parameters generating summary profiles of a generic magnetic cloud at 1 AU. The density within the generic magnetic cloud reached a distinct minimum near the center and peaked in the trailing part (closest to Sun) after a slow rise. The individual clouds fall into two classes, those that have such an enhanced density feature (about
of them) and those that have an overall nearly flat density profile. For the first 85% of the generic magnetic cloud the bulk speed decreased almost uniformly by 45 km s–1 indicating marked expansion over 1 AU. The field intensity peaked very near the cloud's center but was noticeably asymmetric. Proton thermal speed was quite symmetric with local maxima at the front, center, and rear. Proton plasma beta was low throughout the cloud (0.12 on average), but had a broad minimum at its center. The relative degree of fluctuation level for the parameters ranged from the most quiet for both speed and field magnitude, to the most `noisy' for proton plasma beta, with fluctuations in density and thermal speed at intermediate levels, all being below 0.2, based on a sample-scale of frac1100 of the cloud duration. These profiles may be useful in constraining future structural and thermodynamic models of clouds with regard to their solar birth conditions and interplanetary evolution. 相似文献

Colliding Blast Waves Driven by the Interaction of a Short-Pulse Laser with a Gas of Atomic Clusters

Collisions between shocks are commonly found in many astrophysical objects, however robust numerical models or laboratory
analogues of these complex systems remain challenging to implement. We report on the development of scaled laboratory experiments
which employ new techniques for launching and diagnosing colliding shocks and high Mach number blast waves, scalable to a
limited subset of astrophysically-relevant regimes. Use of an extended medium of atomic clusters enables efficient (>80%)
coupling of 700 fs, 1 J, 1054 nm laser pulses to a “cluster” gas with an average density of ≈1019 particles cm−3, producing an initial energy density >105 J cm−3, equivalent to ≈5×109 J/g. Multiple laser foci are used to tailor the spatial profile of energy deposition, or to launch pairs of counter-propagating
cylindrical shocks which then collide. By probing the collision interferometrically at multiple view angles in 5^ increments and applying an inverse Radon transform to the resulting phase projections we have been able to tomographicall
reconstruct the full three-dimensional, time-framed electron density profile of the system. 相似文献

Surface geophysical methods were used to determine the locations of fracture zones in part of the hard rock area in Sonebhadra District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The survey comprises three DC resistivity profile using the gradient profiling technique and ten very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) traverses profiles. The methods were used over survey lines extending between 200 and 400 m; the results were correlated to locate fracture zones for the purpose of groundwater exploration. Qualitative interpretation of the VLF-EM was carried out using Fraser and Karous–Hjelt filters. The result of the interpretation revealed a number of subsurface zones with high real component current density that defines the potential subsurface features (probably fracture zones). The subsurface feature concurred with the low resistive zones indentified from the gradient resistivity profiling. The zones where further inferred quantitatively using data obtained from DC resistivity sounding at some selected anomalous points. The result obtained proves the efficiency of integrating both methods in detecting fractures zones in hard rock area. 相似文献

Greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets are a central feature of most regional and national cap-and-trade systems. A greenhouse offset credit represents a tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) reduced, avoided or sequestered by a project implemented specifically to compensate for emissions occurring elsewhere. Several existing modelling studies estimate the technically and economically achievable supply of GHG offsets from uncapped sources in the US. This analysis is among the few that consider how the design of offset protocols – and the corresponding rules for eligibility, measuring, verifying and awarding offsets – might impact actual offset crediting and the realization of GHG mitigation potential. The presented analysis demonstrates how rules for each of these factors could impact the supply of offset credits, as well as the emissions-reduction benefits of an offset programme. Findings indicate that although lenient offset rules and protocols may bring several times more credits to market than a conservative approach, these gains in offset supply would come at a significant cost to the effectiveness of the cap-and-trade system in achieving its central purpose: reducing overall GHG emissions. In particular, lenient rules and protocols could conceivably lead US emissions to exceed legislative targets by as much as 500 million tonnes CO2e in 2020. 相似文献

The discussion on the social-ecological dimensions of hazards is constantly evolving. This paper explores the trajectory of research relating to hazards and their impact on vulnerable human populations. Interpretations of disaster risk have included estimating losses in terms of human life and property, and analyzing the social mechanisms in place that exacerbate or mitigate a population’s sensitivity to hazard events. In keeping with recent trends in research relating to disaster risk, the paper focuses on the social dimension of vulnerability and the contribution of social structures and relationships in building community resilience. Institutional frameworks and policies in particular determine the quantity and quality of resources and services available to people that contribute to resilience over time. The hazard-risk-location-model (HRLM) is proposed that is based on re-specifying disaster risk in terms of exposure and coping ability to capture the focus on social vulnerability and resilience. The framework of the HRLM incorporates the following components: (1) linkages within existing social capital; (2) spatial variation in social and institutional frameworks; (3) positive and negative feedbacks; and (4) characteristics of the hazard event. The model contributes to the range of place-based assessments designed to address the human-environmental impacts of hazards and disasters. 相似文献
