Among the large rivers rising on the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent high mountains, the discharge and suspended sediment load of the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River are the least well known. Data collected between 1969 and 1996 at Pyay (Prome) are analysed to provide the best available modern estimate of discharge (379 ± 47 × 109 m3/year) and suspended sediment load (325 ± 57 × 106 t/year) for the river upstream of the delta head. A statistical comparison with data collected in the nineteenth century (1871 to 1879) shows discharge has significantly decreased in the last ~100 years. Regression and correlation analyses between discharge in the modern period and indices of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) show a relationship. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Recent numerical studies (Hibiya et al., 1996, 1998, 2002) showed that the energy cascade across the internal wave spectrum down to small dissipation scales was
under strong control of parametric subharmonic instabilities (PSI) which transfer energy from low vertical mode double-inertial
frequency internal waves to high vertical mode near-inertial internal waves. To see whether or not the numerically-predicted
energy cascade process is actually dominant in the real deep ocean, we examine the temporal variability of vertical profiles
of horizontal velocity observed by deploying a number of expendable current profilers (XCPs) at one location near the Izu-Ogasawara
Ridge. By calculating EOFs, we find the observed velocity profiles are dominated by low mode semidiurnal (∼double-inertial
frequency) internal tides and high mode near-inertial internal waves. Furthermore, we find that the WKB-stretched vertical
scales of the near-inertial current shear are about 250 sm and 100 sm. The observed features are reasonably explained if the
energy cascade down to small dissipation scales is dominated by PSI. 相似文献

Unprecedented rates of landslide and surface erosion along a newly constructed road in Yunnan, China
Field measurements conducted 4 years after the construction of a new portion of the Weixi?CShangri-La road in Yunnan, China, reveal that unprecedented rates of mass wasting occurred along the road with much of this sediment directly impacting the headwaters of the Mekong River. Landslide erosion (including dry ravel) exceeded 33,000 t ha?1 year?1 along the most severely eroded sections of the road and averaged more than 9,600 t ha?1 year?1 along the surveyed 23.5 km of road; these values are the highest ever reported for road-related landslides. While surface erosion was only about 7% of the total erosion from the road, it is still more than an order of magnitude higher than typical surface erosion rates from disturbed lands in Southeast Asia. Combined landslide and surface erosion from this road delivered an estimated 19 times more sediment to the river than the remaining 99.6% of the contributing catchment. These sediment inputs are aggrading local channels, promoting downstream sediment transport, degrading aquatic habitat, and creating the possibility for a future debris flood or hyperconcentrated flow. 相似文献

In August 2016, Typhoon 1610 (Lionrock) caused heavy rainfall in Hokkaido, which led to the discharge of a large volume of sediment and water from catchments on the eastern slope of the northern Hidaka Range. The eight catchments examined in this study are characterized by granitic lithology and late Pleistocene periglacial landforms with weakly cohesive, low-resistance periglacial debris thickly covering the weathered bedrocks. This characteristic of the landscape presumably provided a transport-limited condition where some debris flows were initiated by shallow landslides. As they moved, the debris flows grew larger through mobilization and erosion of sediment in channel beds and sidewalls. This sediment mobilization and erosion continued for an extensive distance along the course of the river. Morphological changes induced by channel aggradation and bank erosion were considerable and distinctive from upstream to downstream. Granitic periglacial sediments are amply present on the mountain slopes, river channels, and river banks in the area, likely due to the rarity of intensive rainfall events. These distinctive features of fossil periglacial catchments are important for disaster prevention and catchment-scale sediment management in sub-boreal areas, particularly in the context of climate change, which may generate more frequent and intensive rainfall events. 相似文献

A turbidity current is a turbulent, particle-laden gravity current that is driven by density differences resulting from the presence of suspended sediment particles. The current travels downslope, bearing a large amount of sediment over a great distance, and forms fluvial and submarine bedforms. Knowledge of the spatio-temporal deposition profile of turbidity-deposited sediment is important for a better understanding of sediment transport by turbidity currents. In the current study, the depositi... 相似文献

Assessment of turbulence closure models for resonant inertial response in the oceanic mixed layer using a large eddy simulation model 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Large eddy simulation (LES) of the resonant inertial response of the upper ocean to strong wind forcing is carried out; the
results are used to evaluate the performance of each of the two second-order turbulence closure models presented by Mellor
and Yamada (Rev Geophys Space Phys 20:851–875, 1982) (MY) and by Nakanishi and Niino (J Meteorol Soc Jpn 87:895–912, 2009) (NN). The major difference between MY and NN is in the formulation of the stability functions and the turbulent length scale,
both strongly linked with turbulent fluxes; in particular, the turbulent length scale in NN, unlike that in MY, is allowed
to decrease with increasing density stratification. We find that MY underestimates and NN overestimates the development of
mixed layer features, for example, the strong entrainment at the base of the oceanic mixed layer and the accompanying decrease
of sea surface temperature. Considering that the stability functions in NN perform better than those in MY in reproducing
the vertical structure of turbulent heat flux, we slightly modify NN to find that the discrepancy between LES and NN can be
reduced by more strongly restricting the turbulent length scale with increasing density stratification. 相似文献

A landfill disposal site can be described as “an artificial vessel” and must satisfy the following three demands (1) storage and disposal of waste; (2) protection of the environment; and (3) benefit for nearby residents by taking advantage of consequential effects. The concept of risk was effectively considered to emphasize the importance of monitoring systems in landfill disposal sites, especially to protect the environment. Because a part of the R&D was involved in creating a monitoring system for a landfill disposal site, the present development and future potential of a system which can detect the leakage of watershield sheets, was discussed. 相似文献
