Sealing law of far-field spectra based on observed parameters of the specific barrier model

A set of acceleration source spectra is constructed using the observed parameters of the specific barrier model of Papageorgiou and Aki. The spectra show a significant departure from the ²-model at the high frequency range. Specifically, the high frequency spectral amplitudes of seismic excitation are higher as compared to the level predicted by the ²-model. This is also supported by other observational evidence. The high frequency amplitudes of acceleration scale proportionally to the square root of the rupture areaS, to the rupture spreading velocityv, and to the local strain drop (/) (=strain drop in between barriers). The local strain drop in between barriers is not related in a simple way to the global strain drop, which is the strain drop estimated by assuming that it is uniform over the entire rupture area. Consequently, the similarity law does not apply. Using the source spectra which we constructed, we derive expressions for high frequency amplitudes of acceleration such asa _rms anda _max. Close to the fault both are independent of fault dimensions and scale as (/µ)(f)^1/2, while away from the fault plane they scale asW ^1/2(/µ)(f)^1/2, whereW is the width of the fault and f is the effective bandwidth of the spectra.     

On the determination of the European gravimetric geoid

Summary The method of the automated computation of the gravimetric deflections of the vertical and of the geoidal heights for the European region is described. The work was carried out during the period 1986–1988 by the Topographic Service of the Czechoslovak Army. The computation applies to 20 sheets of the international map 1:1 000 000 (total area of =16^c, =30^c - see Fig. 1). The mean values of the free-air anomalies for each surface element =5, =7.5, approximately 9 × 9 km, were used with radius of integration of 300 km.     

Der „Δh“-Kreis und seine praktische Verwendung zur Bestimmung der Länge und Breite des Beobachtungsortes

Zusammenfassung In einer früheren Mitteilung wurde berichtet, daß in der astronomischen Navigation alle Höhendifferenzen (h) eines bestimmten Koppelortes einen Kreis beschreiben (Löhr, Dt. Hydrogr. Z. Bd. 11, Heft 1, 35, 1958).Im folgenden wird dieser geometrische Ort näher untersucht und h-Kreis benannt. Seine wesentliche Eigenschaft besteht darin, daß jede Sehne des Kreises, die vom Koppelort aus unter einem bestimmten Azimutwinkel gezogen wird, die Höhendifferenz des Gestirnes darstellt, das im Zeitpunkt der Beobachtung sich auf dem entsprechenden Azimutgroßkreis befand.Da die Längen- und Breitendifferenz ebenfalls Höhendifferenzen von Gestirnen — die einen Azimut von 90° (270°) und 0° (180°) nachweisen — darstellen, so ergibt sich daraus, daß die durch Konstruktion des h-Kreises entstandenen Schnittpunkte mit dem Meridian und Breitenparallel des Koppelortes die wahre Länge und Breite des Ortes des Beobachters angeben.

The h-circle and its practical use in determining the longitude and latitude of a point of observation

Summary An earlier report (Löhr, Dt. Hydrogr. Z., Vol. 11, Issue 1, p. 35, 1958) dealing with astronomical navigation, establishes that all altitude differences (h) from any given dead reckoning describe a circle.The following report examines this locus which is termed the h-Circle. The h-circle is characterized by the fact that any chord drawn from the dead reckoning at a certain azimuthal angle will represent the difference in altitude of that celestial body which at the time of observation was located in the corresponding azimuthal great circle.The longitude and latitude differences also represent the altitude differences of celestial bodies with azimuth 90° (270°) and 0° (180°). Hence, it follows that the true longitude and latitude of the observer's position are indicated by the points where the meridian and the latitude parallel of the dead reckoning are intersected by the h-circle.

Le h-cercle et sa mise en pratique pour la détermination de la longitude et de la latitude du lieu d'observation

Résumé Dans une communication précédente il a été rapporté qu'en navigation astronomique toutes les différences d'hauteur (h) d'un certain point estimé font un cercle (Löhr, Dt. Hydrogr. Z. Bd. 11, Heft 1, 35, 1958).Ci-après ce lieu géométrique sera examiné plus près et sera nommé le cercle h. Sa qualité essentielle réside dans le fait que chaque corde du cercle, tirée du point estimé sous un angle azimutal déterminé, constitue la différence d'hauteur de l'étoile, qui au moment de l'observation se trouva au grand cercle azimutal correspondant.Vu que des différences en longitude et en latitude forment également des différences d'hauteur des étoiles- qui indiquent un azimut de 90° (270°) et 0° (180°)-, il en ressort, que les points d'intersection entre les coordonnées géographiques du point estimé et le h-cercle, indiquent la vraie longitude et latitude du lieu de l'observateur.

Slowness and azimuth at the Uppsala array

Summary Relative arrival times at the Uppsala tripartite seismograph array station are used to determinedT/d and ray azimuth for some 200 compressional phases. Corrections, although very small, are applied for station elevations, telephonic transmission delays and array geometry. The computeddT/d and ray azimuths are further corrected to remove the effect of lateral heterogeneity immediately beneath the array station. Errors indT/d and azimuth are considered from a partly theoretical, partly empirical approach. They amount to about 0.18 sec/deg indT/d and 1.6° in azimuth. Standard deviations in epicentral locations are empirically determined to be about 2° due to slowness error and less than 1.5° due to azimutherror; or about 250 km overall. These figures compare favourably with other, more costly, arrays.

Meteorological interpretation of infrared pictures of the earth from space

Summary This paper considers a number of questions concerning the interpretation of infrared pictures of the earth taken from space. Long period mean statistical values of the contrasts in radiation temperature between the earth's surface and clouds for a number of points in the U.S.S.R. in different seasons have been calculated which makes it possible to conclude when and where clouds against the underlying surface can be detected as well as to formulate the requirements which the instruments mounted on a satellite are to satisfy. The blackness coefficients of clouds at different layers have been theoretically determined, the investigation of the problem of the spectral regions selection for satellite observations has been conducted. The worked out calculation scheme has been used in the solution of the problem of the possibility of satellite detection of such thermal non-homogeneities as sea currents and jet streams in the atmosphere. Examples of the synoptical analysis of the infrared pictures of the cloud cover obtained with the help of the NIMBUS-1 and COSMOS-122 satellites have been considered. , . , , , , . , . , , . , -1 -122.     

A method of searching for radial velocity anomalies in the lower mantle using interfering signals

Radial velocity anomalies in the lower mantle that give rise to triplications in the travel-time curve for short-periodP waves will produce arrivals havingdT/d values that differe by roughly 0.2–0.5 s/deg. The first two arrivals associated with such triplications will be separated by less than one second over a distance range of 4°–10° they may not, therefore, be separable visually on single seismograms, so that their presence can only be inferred from some measurable property that depends on their mutual interference. If there are lateral variations in the regions of anomalous velocity gradients, the interfering signals will also have different azimuths of arrival. Using two synthetic wavelets we have investigated the effect of interference on bothdT/d and azimuth measurements at the Yellowknife Array. We found that if the interfering pulses have a dominant frequencyv, there is a range of time separations (0.30/v0.55/v) over which the measureddT/d and azimuth values may fluctuate by much more than the differences indT/d and azimuth between the interfering signals. We have evaluated the following empirically defined functions for three different primary signals, and for three different relative amplitudes of the interfering signals:f (t), the drift function, which expresses how the measured slownesses,p, and azimuths, , differ from the slownesses and azimuths of the primary wavelets; f(), the range function, which describes the behaviour of the upper and lower bounds ofp and as a function of the difference in arrival times of the signals, andf , studied the properties of these functions, and have outlined how these properties provide criteria based on the numerical and statistical characteristics of the arrival vectors, and on the waveform of the signal that will enable small radial velocity anomalies to be more clearly delineated.Contribution No. 863 from the Earth Physics Branch.

Moment tensors of ten witwatersrand mine tremors

Ground motions, recorded both underground and on the surface in two of the South African Gold mining districts, were inverted to determine complete moment tensors for 10 mining-induced tremors in the magnitude range 1.9 to 3.3. The resulting moment tensors fall into two separate categories. Seven of the events involve substantial coseismic volumetric reduction-V together with normal faulting entailing shear deformation AD, where the summation is over fault planes of areaA and average slipD. For these events the ratio-V/AD ranges from 0.58 to 0.92, with an average value of 0.71. For the remaining three events V is not significantly different from zero; these events are largely double-couple sources involving normal faulting. Surprisingly, the two types of source mechanism appear to be very distinct in that there is not a continuous distribution of the source mix from V=0 to-VAD. Presumably, the coseismic closure indicates substantial interaction between a mine stope and adjacent shear failure in the surrounding rock, under the influence of an ambient stress for which the maximum principal stress is oriented vertically.     

Stratospheric ozone variability near the IMF sector boundary

Summary We search for the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) sector boundary crossing (SBC) in upper stratospheric ozone. The SBUV data (Nimbus-7) at the 10, 3 and 1 hPa levels are analysed for latitudes 45° N and 55° N for winters of the period December 1979 to December 1982. An effect of the IMF SBC wos only found at the 10 hPa level. These first results concerning the IMF SBC effect in upper stratospheric ozone are rather preliminary.

Station factors of Khonsa and Yaongyimsen seismograph stations

Summary Body wave magnitudes of 384 and 440 teleseismic events in the distance range 9–100° are determined using short-period P-wave data obtained from the vertical component seismograms of Khonsa (Tirap district, Arunachal Pradesh) and Yaongyimsen (Mokukchung district, Nagaland) seismic stations. These magnitudes are compared with the corresponding body wave magnitudes reported by the National Earthquake Information Service of the United States Geological Survey. Average residuals for Khonsa and Yaongyimsen stations are found to be +0.09 and +0.48, respectively. It is observed that the average residuals (7) for both the stations decrease with respect to epicentral distance (), focal depth (h) and body wave magnitude (m_b). For the Khonsa station, the respective linear relations are: =0.12–1×10^–5 , M=0.22–7××10^–5 h, M=1.96–0.356m_b and similarly, for the Yaongyimsen station the relations are M=0.59–2×10^–5 , M=0.54–19×10^–5 h, M=2.56–0.391m_b. The nature of the variation of residuals is found to be nearly similar for both the stations.

On the possibility of utilizing grid reports in a local model of short-range forecast of meteorological elements

Summary In the experiment described, we test the possibility of utilizing forecasts of the pressure field, contained in GRID reports, to solve the problem of horizontal boundary conditions of a local model of short-range forecast of meteorological elements. We prove that the assumption of a linear tendency of the prognostic variables in the boundary region yields good results, using the Perkey-Kreitzberg method[1], even if applied to period T=24 hrs. In the Perkey-Kreitzberg method the effect of the horizontal diffusion in the boundary region is suppressed[2]. However, considering the diffusive term apart from the procedure of the method mentioned proves detrimental to the forecast.

Radioactive and trace element distribution in basaltic rocks of Lower Silesia

Summary The distribution of radioactive(Th, U, K) and selected trace(Rb, Sr, Ba, Y, Zr, V, Cr, Ni) elements in volcanic rocks from the Opole and Jawor regions of the Lower Silesia has been studied. The behaviour of these elements in the studied rocks indicates that the Lower Silesian volcanic rocks are characterized by less differentiated type than other volcanic rocks of the Bohemian Massif, the Opole rock types probably having a less differentiated character than the Jawor rock types.

Deuteron whistlers in the outer ionosphere

Summary Upgoing and downgoing deuteron whistlers were found on VLF records made by Interkosmos 5, 14 and 19 satellites even at heights below 1000 km. To account for them, a slight admixture ofD ⁺ ions has been introduced into the ionospheric plasma model with the usual content of only three ion speciesH ⁺,He ⁺ andO ⁺. Relations derived for the calculation of characteristic frequencies in a five-component plasma (e,H ⁺,D ⁺,He ⁺,O ⁺) are given as well as the values of characteristic frequencies calculated on this basis. The observed features of upgoing and downgoing deuteron whistlers could be explained by the calculation results, and it is also possible to formulate some conclusions for the purposes of plasma diagnostics.

On SEC disturbances in the polar cap ionosphere and their relation to the solar wind parameters

Summary Based on the analysis of the occurrence ofSEC disturbances in the polar cap ionosphere under varying solar wind parameters, the relation between the generation ofSEC-type ionospheric disturbances and interplanetary and magnetospheric conditions is discussed. It is emphasized that the Farley-Buneman instability in the E-layer of the ionosphere, reflected in ionograms as anSEC disturbance, depends on the complex effect of the solar wind parameters, the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field playing an important role.
