Influence of the Atmospheric Tides on the Earth Rotation     

Nikolay Sidorenkov 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2003,87(1-2):27-38

Spectral analysis of the components of the relative atmospheric angular momentum vector is performed based on the series of these components for the 6 h intervals within the period of 1958–2000. These series have been computed in the Subbureau of the Atmospheric Angular Momentum of the International Earth Rotation Service using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis of atmospheric observations. The basic harmonics of diurnal tides are determined. New results on the fortnight's and week's duration oscillations of the equatorial components of the atmospheric angular momentum are obtained. The zonal tides transformation mechanisms in the atmosphere are discussed. It is shown that the main mechanism of the zonal tides effect on the atmospheric variability is the amplitude modulation of daily oscillations of the relative atmospheric angular momentum. The effects of the atmospheric tides on the Earth rotation are discussed.  相似文献   

Study of the Earth’s free core nutation by tidal gravity data recorded with international superconducting gravimeters   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

By stacking high-precision tidal gravity observations obtained with superconducting gravimeters at six stations in China, Japan, Belgium, France, Germany and Finland, the local systematical discrepancies in the parameter fitting, caused by atmospheric, oceanic tidal loading and the other local environmental perturbations, are eliminated effectively. As a result, the resonance parameters of the Earth’s free core nutation are accurately determined. In this study, the eigenperiod of free core nutation is given as 429.0 sidereal days, which is in agreement with those published in the previous studies. It is about 30 sidereal days less than those calculated in theoretical models (about 460 sidereal days), which confirms the real ellipticity of the fluid core of the Earth to be about 5% larger than the one expected in assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium. The quality factor (Q value) of free core nutation is given as about 9543, which, compared with those determined before based on the body tide observations, is much larger, but more close to those obtained using the VLBI observations. The complex resonance strength is also determined as (−6.10×10⁻⁴, −0.01 ×10⁻⁴)°/h, which can principally describe the deformation characteristics of an anelastic mantle.  相似文献   

Geographies of Displacement: The Karenni and The Shan Across The Myanmar-Thailand Border   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Carl Grundy-Warr  & Elaine Wong Siew Yin 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2002,23(1):93-122

First, central to our analysis is the argument that human movement within and across borders fundamentally challenges the view of geopolitics based upon fixed territorial states, inter-state relations, national identities and citizenship; indeed the whole idea of "national geographic". Using the examples of the Karen and Shan peoples, we explore the processes and patterns of forced relocation, displacement and migration in the border regions of Myanmar and Thailand. Our main concern is with forced displacement as a result of political and ethnic conflict; specifically, how the Burmese military regime's desire for "national unity" within Myanmar's "national space" has influenced the militarily inspired displacements of hundreds of thousands of villagers and civilians within the border zones inhabited mostly by so-called "national minorities". We examine the particular problems of the so-called "internally displaced persons" within "national" boundaries compared with the "refugees" and "undocumented migrants" who make it across "international" space into Thailand. We illustrate the ways displaced people are represented by state agencies and the media as "threats" and "transgressors". We consider some of the "long term" aspects of the displacement problem along the Myanmar-Thai border and the vital contribution geographers can make to the study of displacement.  相似文献   

使用ECMWF集合预报数据集估计全球季节平均气候异常的潜在可预报性          下载免费PDF全文

文彩虹  杨修群 《气象科学》2003,23(4):379-391

利用ECMWF PROVOST项目产生的在给定海表温度强迫下的150(1979～1993)季节集合预报数据集，分析揭示了季节平均气候异常潜在可预报性的全球分布。首先，利用可再现的强迫模态重建集合资料场，在Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S)检验的基础上定义潜在可预报性指数PU^k，然后，将重建场的PU^k与重建场贡献于集合平均的方差比结合，提出了定量估计局地潜在可预报性的指数PI。以全球850hPa温度季节平均异常场为例，对PI进行定量计算表明：不仅大部分热带地区，而且热带外一些地区的季节平均气候异常具有潜在可预报性，主要分布在北美、南非和亚洲部分季风区；全球大部分潜在可预报地区主要受ENSO型强迫控制，而部分温带地区如中国华北、中亚、北美南部主要受非ENSO型强迫控制；局地潜在可预报性具有季节性，夏季可预报性较强，冬季较弱。通过与其他几种估计季节潜在可预报性的方法进行比较表明，本文提出的PI方法能更好地把热带外地区受外强迫控制的可预报信号提取出来。  相似文献   

A new nutation series for a more realistic model earth   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J. Schastok 《Geophysical Journal International》1997,130(1):137-150

The frequency-dependent correction coefficients with respect to the forced nutations of a rigid earth are computed using the complex scalar gravitational-motion equations for an earth model with an anelastic mantle. Oceanic loads and tidal currents enter the model via outer boundary conditions. The ellipticity of the core-mantle boundary and the dynamical ellipticity are adjusted to observations. This requires the behaviour inside the model earth to be regarded as non-hydrostatic. Some relevant equations for the evaluation of boundary conditions and some terms in the equations of motion are expanded to second order in ellipticity. The computation of the equipotential-surface ellipticity profile is carried to second order as well. These second-order expansions lead to increased accuracy of the results in general. Moreover, one achieves a better reliability for the integration at frequencies close to a resonance. This allows the integration of the equations of motion at any relevant nutation period without the need for a normal-mode expansion. A complete new nutation series for a realistic model earth is presented.  相似文献   

Soil-structure interaction analysis of the Hualien containment model     

Todor Ganev  Fumio Yamazaki  Tsuneo Katayama  Teruyuki Ueshima 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》1997,16(7-8):459-470

This paper presents results from forced vibration tests, microtremor observations and earthquake response analysis of a nuclear reactor containment model constructed on stiff soil in Hualien, Taiwan. The dynamic behavior of the soil-structure system is simulated successfully with two numerical models: a sway-rocking model, whose soil parameters are evaluated on the basis of the continuum formulation method, and a finite element model, using the program SASSI with the flexible volume substructuring approach. The dependences of the soil parameters of both models on the amplitudes of the different dynamic excitations are investigated in detail. An original numerical simulation of microtremor is performed. Comparison with results of a previous study involving a rigid tower on a soft soil site in Chiba, Japan is offered.  相似文献

黄智勇  Carl M.LARSEN 《中国海洋工程》2010,(4)

This paper discusses numerical results from three-dimensional large eddy simulations of an oscillating cylinder under prescribed movements in uniform flow. Six cases,namely pure in-line,pure cross-flow and two groups of 'Figure of Eight' oscillation patterns are under investigation at Reynolds number Re=24000. The 'Figure of Eight' pattern in each group is with identical shape but opposite orbital directions. The numerical results on hydrodynamic forces,higher order force components,and vortex shedding mode...  相似文献

利用常规资料、14:00加密探空、NCEP1°×1°再分析资料,对比分析2013年6月18日和2014年6月23日南疆西部两次强冰雹环境场及物理机制,表明两次冰雹环境场有相同之处:在环流经向度较大的中亚低涡背景下,前期有明显降水,傍晚前后由中亚低涡后部西北气流下产生,高空干冷平流、低层暖湿环境、较大的垂直温度递减率及低层辐合线或切变线为冰雹天气提供了强不稳定层结和动力触发条件,为冷平流强迫类型。但两次冰雹中亚低涡位置、强度、物理机制变化等有所不同:"6·18"中亚低涡压至南疆西部,低涡强,西北风大,而"6·23"中亚低涡在巴尔喀什湖附近,位置偏北,低涡较弱,西北风较小;"6·18"偏西北气流、风(垂直)切变、强回波伸展高度、层结不稳定、水汽及动力等变化均较"6·23"明显偏强;"6·18"的0℃层和-20℃层的高度均比"6·23"的低300~400 m;"6·18"低层南疆盆地偏东风日变化明显,即傍晚到夜间增强,山前东西风辐合促使上升运动发展,并有明显的中尺度垂直环流圈,而"6·23"低层为西北风风速辐合及与偏东风的切变。  相似文献

利用四川省雅安市30 m分辨率基础高程数据,提取栅格的坡向和坡度参数,将雅安307个区域自动站在2017年汛期(6—9月)共50次的降水天气个例,分为16次大尺度降水和34次中小尺度降水,使用对应时次的欧洲中心细网格0.25°×0.25°再分析风场资料,根据不同的站点地形高度将风场合成平均风场,和各站点地形的坡向和坡度计算出其动力抬升作用,同时使用当天日照和天文太阳辐射值来计算地形的热力抬升作用,与对应降水过程的降水分布进行多元线性回归,根据回归的标准系数的大小确定各自变量对降水分布的影响,得出以下结论:(1)中小尺度降水中,地形的热力抬升作用对降水分布的影响作用最大,其次是海拔高度,地形的动力抬升作用在三者中对降水分布的影响最小;(2)在大尺度降水中刚好相反,地形的动力抬升对降水的分布影响作用最大,海拔次之,热力抬升作用在三者中影响作用最小;(3)日降水量最大值的站点海拔高度基本位于1 000 m左右,与抬升凝结高度对应较好;(4)从长期的统计来看,地形的动力作用和地表的植被情况对降水分布的影响最大。在实际预报工作用,根据不同的降水类型,关注不同的动力和热力作用对于判断降水分布大值区的位置有较好的参考作用。  相似文献
