The ratiosZ_{K,t} of electrical conductivities of potassium chloride (KCI) solutions of known concentration (K ) to standard seawater at the same temperature have been measured at15deg C and24deg C for solutions withZ_{k,15} between 0.96 and 1.04. The "normal" concentration (N or K_{N} ) givingZ_{N,15}= 1 was found to beK_{N} = 32.4356 gKCI/kg solution. The effect of temperature onZ_{N,t} was measured over the range15deg C to30deg C. Equations are given for KCI concentration as a function ofZ_{15} and the inverse function, forZ_{15}/Z_{24} as a function ofZ_{24} (to allow use of a laboratory salinometer for the KCI-seawater comparisons), andZ_{N,t} as a function of temperature. 相似文献

The ratiosR_{s,t,o} of electrical conductivity of seawater samples of precisely known salinity to standard seawater at the same temperature have been measured over a wide range of salinities from 0 to42permil S and over the full range of oceanic temperatures from -2 to35deg C. The samples withS<35permil were prepared by accurate weight dilution of standard seawater with distilled water. High salinity samples were prepared by fast evaporation of standard seawater and subsequent weight dilution into the already determined <35permil range. An equation was derived which expresses the S versusR_{s,t,o} relationship very precisely from1-42permil and at all temperatures, i.e.,S = f_{1}(R_{s,t,o}) + f_{2}(R_{s, t,o},t) =Sigma_{n=0}^{5} a_{n}R^{n/2}+ frac{Delta t}{1+kDelta t} Sigma_{n=0}^{5} b_{n}R^{n/2} whereDelta t = t-15deg C,R = R_{s, t.o} ; only the first termf_{1} is required at15deg C. The effeet of temperature on the electrical conductivity of standard seawater was also measured. The ratior_{t} of the conductivity at temperaturet to the conductivity at15deg C (C_{35,t, o}/C_{35,15,o} ) is very aeenrately expressed by a fourth degree equation int . i.e,r_{t}=Sigma_{n=0}^{4} c_{n}t^{n} These two equations are sufficient for all salinity determinations at normal atmospheric pressure. 相似文献

This paper describes the first reported high-resolution remote measurements of sea-ice velocities during the summer Arctic pack-ice breakup, made with a high-frequency (HF) radar system (CODAR, for Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar) located on Cross Island, Alaska. Each 36-min observation also gives the positions of the ice edge, the moving ice, and the open water, with an azimuthal and distance resolution of5deg and 1.2 km, respectively, to a range of 15 km. The statistical uncertainties in speed are typically 2-4 cm/s. The ice breakup was observed over a two-day period starting with low ice velocity and no open water and ending with ice and current velocities of approximately 40 cm/s. The position of the ice edge is verified by a simultaneous synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image. To compare the ice, current, and wind velocities, a uniform velocity model was fitted to the measurements of radial velocity. The speed of both ice and current under free drift conditions was found to lie between 2 and 5 percent of the wind speed and the direction within20deg of the wind direction. 相似文献

This paper treats the fabrication problems and test results of an acoustic lens built in accordance with the acoustic design presented in an accompanying paper. Specific areas covered include the selection of the internal fluid, the window, construction of the case, sound-absorbing lining, and acoustic test results. With a SOAB sound-absorbing lining, the lens model worked well, giving horizontal beamwidths of6deg and vertical widths of30deg . There is still a problem of compatibility between the SOAB and the Freon TF lens fluid selected. 相似文献

A new spectrum model for the ocean surface is proposed. We determine the two unknown parameters in this spectrum by fitting it to radar observations. We find that this spectrum combined with two-scale scattering theory can predict much of the observed dependence of the radar cross section on radar frequency, polarization, angle of incidence, and wind velocity at incidence angles in the0deg-70deg range. The spectrum model is combined with a model for swell to examine the effect of swell on the radar cross section. We find that the effect of swell is significant for low radar frequencies (L band) and near normal incidence but can be nearly eliminated by using higher frequencies (K_{u} band) and large angles of incidence (approx 50deg ). 相似文献

The direction of the mean surface wind field in the North Pacific Ocean was mapped on September 25 and 26, 1973, over an area of3 times 10^{6} (km)2by OTH-B HF radar. A spatial resolution of 60 km in range and 15 km in cross range was used at points spaced by 150 km in range and 80 km in cross range. Wind directions were inferred from the upwind/downwind first-order Bragg ratio and the measure of the maximum ratio occuring for radial winds at points near each observation. Over 90 percent of the recorded data were usable for this purpose.High spatial resolution is essential to make detailed measurements of the wind speed and direction across and along an atmospheric cold front. The location of the atmospheric cold front derived from the wind field agreed well with the ESSA VIII satellite frontal location. 相似文献

The ideal scatterometer, operating from either an aircraft or a satellite platform, should be capable of making rapid, accurate estimates of the sea backscatter cross sectionsigma over as wide a range of grazing anglespsi as possible. Efficient operation over a large range of grazing angles is desirable because 1)sigma behavior for90deg geq psi geq 70deg yields rms gravity wave slope information and is an indicator of sea state and 2)sigma behavior for70deg geq psi geq 0deg yields data on surface wind magnitude and direction as well as information about the power spectrum of the sea. A "hybrid" estimation procedure has been developed for pulse compression radars which uses both frequency and spatially decorrelated samples ofsigma to provide an unbiased estimate ofsigma having minimum variance over the entire range of grazing angles for which radar reception is not noise-limited. 相似文献

The ability to use radar to discriminate Arctic Sea ice types has been investigated using surface-based and helicopter-borne scatterometer systems. The surface-based FM/CW radar operated at 1.5 GHz and at multiple frequencies in the 8-18-GHz region. Measurements were made at angles of10deg to70deg from nadir. The helicopter-based radar operated at the 8-18-GHz frequencies with incidence angles of0deg to60deg . Extensive surface-truth measurements were made at or near the time of backscattar measurement to describe the physical and electrical properties of the polar scene. Measurements in the 8-18-GHz region verify the ability to discriminate multiyear, thick first-year, thin first-year, and pressure-ridged sea ice and lake ice. The lowest frequency, 9 GHz, was found to provide the greatest contrast between these ice categories, with significant levels of separation existing between angles from15deg to70deg . The radar cross sections for like antenna polarizations, VV and HH, were very similar in absolute level and angular response. Cross-polarization, VH and HV, provided the greatest contrast between ice types, The 1.5-GHz measurements showed that thick first-year, thin first-year, and multiyear sea ice cannot be distinguished at10deg to60deg incidence angles with like polarization, VV, by backscatter alone; but that undeformed sea ice can be discriminated from pressure-ridged ice and lake ice. The effect of snow cover on the backscatter from thick first-year ice was also investigated. It contributes on the order of 0 to 4 dB, depending on frequency and incidence angle; the contribution of the snow layer increased with increasing frequency. Snow cover on smooth lake ice was found to be a major backscatter mechanism. Summer measurements demonstrate the inability to extend the knowledge of the backscatter from sea ice under spring conditions to all seasons. 相似文献

The Practical Salinity Scale (PSS) 1978 is defined only for salinities within the range 2-42. We have investigated the relationship between mass-determined salinity, electrical conductivity, and temperature for salinities between 0 and 2 with the aim of developing an extension to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978. The paper presents our data, on the basis of which the following correction is proposed to extend the validity of the equations defining the scale to the entire 0-42 range:S=summin{i=0}max{5} (a_{i}+b_{i}f(t))R_{t}^{i/2}-frac{a_{0}}{1 + 1.5x + x^{2}}-frac{b_{0}f(t)}{1+y^{1/2} + y + y^{3/2}} wheref(t)=frac{(t-15)}{1 + k(t-15) x=400R_{t} y=100R_{t} and the constanta_{i}, b_{i} , andk are defind by the Practical Salinity Scale 1978. 相似文献

In order to validate wind vectors derived from the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT), two NSCAT wind products of different spatial resolutions are compared with observations by buoys and research vessels in the seas around Japan. In general, the NSCAT winds agree well with the wind data from the buoys and vessels. It is shown that the root-mean-square (rms) difference between NSCAT-derived wind speeds and the buoy observations is 1.7 ms–1, which satisfies the mission requirement of accuracy, 2 ms–1. However, the rms difference of wind directions is slightly larger than the mission requirement, 20°. This result does not agree with those of previous studies on validation of the NSCAT-derived wind vectors using buoy observations, and is considered to be due to differences in the buoy observation systems. It is also shown that there are no significant systematic trends of the NSCAT wind speed and direction depending on the wind speed and incidence angle. Comparison with ship winds shows that the NSCAT wind speeds are lower than those observed by the research vessels by about 0.7 ms–1 and this bias is twice as large for data observed by moving ships than by stationary ships. This result suggests that the ship winds may be influenced by errors caused by ship's motion, such as pitching and rolling. 相似文献

An echo sounder has been developed with features ideally suited to oceanographic and fisheries research. Instruments commonly used for such research are inaccurate, limited in dynamic range, unstable, and generally inflexible. An effort has been made to overcome these deficiencies with the sonar system discussed here. The echo sounder to be described has a time-varied-gain receiver (20 log_{10} R or40 log_{10} R + 2alphaR ) accurate to withinpm0.5 dB over a 100-dB range. The equivalent dynamic range is 140 dB (the ratio of the maximum signal at minimum gain to the equivalent input noise at maximum gain in a 4-kHz bandwidth). The temperature stability ispm0.5 dB from10deg to35deg C at any range. Operating parameters, including frequency, can be easily altered to accommodate a variety of needs. 相似文献

Rationale for the measurement of open-ocean tsunami signatures are presented, and available pertinent data are reviewed. Models for tsunami signature and background noise are proposed in order to synthesize an optimum tsunami receiver. Using these models, the minimum tsunami amplitude (in cm) to yield the probability of correct tsunami detectionP_{D} = 0.999 and probability of false alarmP_{F} = 10^{-3} is found to be0.718/sqrt{f_{0}} , wheref_{0} is the tsunami dominant frequency (in cycles/h). A realizable receiver is proposed and its performance is evaluated using actual tsunami signatures. It is demonstrated that the detection of a tsunami with an average amplitude as small as 0.7 cm is possible for theP_{D} andP_{F} as above. Simulation results using synthesized background noise are shown. Tidal effects on the receiver performance also are considered and are found negligible for a certain range of the receiver parameters, resulting in a considerable reduction of the signal processing required. 相似文献

Forty-three open-ocean observations of drag coefficients observed at Argus Island Tower near Bermuda by the dissipation technique resulted in constant drag coefficients for mean horizontal wind velocities between 7.8 and10.4 m .s^{1} in good agreement with the larger near-neutral data set of DeLeonibus and Simpson [1] and the neutral data of Large and Pond [2], both of whom observed10^{3}C_{10} = 1.2 whereC_{10} is the drag coefficient at l0 m. Ratios of vertical-to-horizontal wind velocity spectral densities averaged over an inertial subrange of 0.8 to 1.6 Hz ranged from 0.7 to 1.07 in agreement with the Busch and Panofsky [3] result that isotropy is approached only when the observation height is much greater than the Nyquist wavelength. 相似文献

Experimental results from an array of moored current meters and an HF ocean surface radar support the idea that line broadening on the radar spectra is caused by the velocity distribution within the radar target cell. The experiment was done in the wake of a small island where the velocity variations were severe. An estimate is made of the line broadening which can be expected. In a turbulent flow with dissipation rate of the orderepsilon sim 10^{-10}m^{2}s^{-3} and target cell size 1 3000 m, the line broadening isDeltaf sim 10^{-3} Hz. This would be resolved with a radar time series ofsim 20 min and indicates that the HF ocean surface radar technique has potential in the observation of surface velocity distributions. 相似文献

A triaxial set of underwater receiving coils was developed and tested. The receiving system was used jointly with an underwater, calibrated, horizontal, electric dipole source in studies of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic propagation. This paper discusses the electromechanical design of the receiver and tethering system and addresses system sensitivity and noise levels. The receiving system was used successfully in a series of measurements, in spite of serious motion noise contamination. A stationary system sensitivity of5 times 10^{-4} gamma/sqrt{Hz} was achieved. 相似文献

Systems of identical precisely spaced bubbles or similar monopole scatterers in water-e.g., inflated balloons or thin-walled shells-insonified at frequenciesomega_{SR} dose to their fundamental radial resonanceomega_{0} (bubble) frequency may themselves display resonance modes or superresonances (SR's) [1]. Ordinary single-bubble resonances magnify the local free-field pressure amplitudep_{1} by a factor(ka)^{-1} ,a being the radius andk the wavenumber in water: for air bubbles or balloons in water, this factor is of the order of 70. Under SR conditions each member of the system amplifies the local free-field amplitude by a further factor of order(ka)^{-1} . Depending upon geometry and other constraints, the pressure fieldP_{SR} on the surface and in the interior of each scatterer will then be in the range of10^{3}p_{1} to5 times 10^{3} p_{1} . This paper investigates the sensitivity of this phenomenon to small departures from the ideal model. In particular, it examines the effect of small differences in scatter positioning and volumes in the context of an SR system consisting of two bubbles/balloons close to the boundary of a thin elastic plate overlying a fluid half-space. It is found that, to observe the SR phenomenon, radii and positions should be controlled to within approximately 1/2 percent.P_{SR} is also sensitive to the angle of incidence of the plane wave train. For the simple system examined here, this sensitivity is considerable for either flexural wave trains or volume acoustic waves incident upon the bubble/ balloon pair (doublet). Practical uses of the phenomenon may range from the design of passive high-Q acoustical filter/amplifiers and acoustical lenses to improved source efficiencies. 相似文献

The paper describes a low-power barometer intended for remote weather stations, but also meeting the requirements for manned stations and airports, in which the condensation temperature of carbon disulphide (CS2 ) is used to determine the barometric pressure(p) . A heated cylindrical bulb with a re-entrant well for a thermistor through the bottom and an internal radiation shield is 1/3 filled with CS2 . Helical springs assist CS2 migration on wetted surfaces and allow liquid and vapor to pass one another in the small diameter exit-condenser tube. A miniature Dewar flask gives thermal insulation and a 0.01-mm beryllium-copper diaphragm transmits the external pressure. The condensation temperature is read with a simple Wheatstone bridge and dc amplifier giving an outputV_{0} = 0.5(p- 100 Pa) V. Pulsed power with the pulse length controlled by a second thermistor on the outlet tube is used for efficiency. Long term tests of a number of barometers have given power levels around 40 mW at20deg C and indicated maximum drifts ofpm50 Pa/year,pml0 Pa/day, andpm2 Pa short term. 相似文献

Sources of scatter in the comparison data are briefly reviewed. 相似文献

This paper describes the methods used to develop performance requirements and design characteristics for the microwave scatterometer (SASS) ocean-surface wind sensor on the NASA SeaSat-A satellite. Wind vector measurement requirements from the SeaSat user community such as wind speed and direction accuracy, resolution cell size, grid spacing, and swath width formed the basis for defining instrument characteristics. The resulting scatterometer is designed for 14.6 GHz using four fan beam antennas to measure wind speed and direction over a 1000-km swath width with a resolution cell size50 times 50 km. Results presented show scatterometer accuracy satisfies user requirements for wind speed from 4 m/s to greater than 24 m/s for the nominal SeaSat-A orbit of 790 km altitude,108deg inclination, and 0.001 eccentricity. 相似文献
