Summary By comparing the equalities expressing the solar flux within a wide spectral region on the assumption of an extintion within the atmospheric aerosol given by ^– and that of an extintion represented by ₁^–1, a relationship is established by means of which: 1) The error is discussed which is done when the air opacity is expressed by ₁, in the case when 1; 2) A simple and quick method is worked out for determining the parameters and from actinometric observations, carried out within the spectral regions <525 m and 525 m<<625 m.

Friction constitutive law with rate and state dependences

A general formula for the Dieterich-Ruina friction constitutive law with rate and state (n-state variables,n=1, 2,...) dependences has been obtained and discussed under the assumption that the slip acceleration a varies ion a linearly with the slip displacement , namelya = a ₀ + (-₀). Wherea ₀, ₀ are initial constants, is the acceleration rate and constant.a ₀ and may be arbitrary constants (positive, negative or zero).The extreme value of frictional resistance and the existence condition of the extreme value, which are very important and govern to some degree the motion process of a frictionally slipping mechanical system, have been analyzed. A critical value _c which is the measure of the velocity weakening and velocity strengthening of the mechanical system, and its properties and the relationship to the extreme problem have been studied. Again, according to the critical value _c, the concepts of light or strong velocity weakening (or strengthening) are introduced.A possibly new phenomenon that frictional resistance may vary in some kind of decayed oscillation is found. Finally, the condition for the smallest frictional resistance for a slipping mechanical system with nonuniform acceleration has been obtained.     

Magnetic interpretation of dyke anomalies using derivatives

The horizontal and vertical derivative profiles of magnetic anomalies of dykes show some interesting properties. The points of zero derivatives and the points where the derivatives are equal are conjugate point pairs. A method of interpretation of dyke anomalies is suggested, which utilizes the distances between these points.Notation F Magnetic anomaly in total intensity - Z Depth to top of the dyke - 2T Width of the dyke - Geological dip of the dyke - I Effective intensity of magnetisation in the plane of profile - Dip of effective magnetisation vector in the plane of profile - Strike angle of the dyke - i Magnetic dip - Q – - Q _f –+arctan (sin coti) - I _f

On the possibilities of horizontal propagation ofPc1 pulsations in the ionosphere

Summary The vertical distribution of the contribution of the energy flux density due to the Alfvén(ordinary) wave, guided by the geomagnetic field(and propagating through the ionosphere to the Earth's surface) in the horizontal direction is demonstrated in the mechanism of the horizontal propagation of the Pc1 signal. The distribution with height is shown of the variations of the polarization characteristics of the propagating wave(e.g. the rotation of the polarization plane, changes in ellipticity, attenuation, etc.), which are the result of coupling in the denser layers of the low ionosphere in which also suitable isotropic(extraordinary) modes are generated. The results obtained using the method described in[4, 13] are demonstrated on a model of the daytime ionosphere under incidence of ordinaryL-modes, frequency f=0.3 Hz, and various meridional angles at the ionosphere.

L'ordre du coefficient de récombinaison dans la coucheE

Résumé On propose une méthode de détermination de l'ordre du coefficient équivalent de récombinaison en n'utilisant que les données ionosphériques. A cette fin on évalue l'apport de la vitesse des changements passagersdN _m E/dt dans la densité électroniqueN _m E. L'évaluation se fait en présence d'une série de valeurs choisies de , on observe laquelle des courbes définis _m (t) dans cette étude coïncidera de plus près avec _m (t) mesurée. Les changements de montrés sur la figure 4 sont obtenus de cette manière. La valeur diurne de varie de (0.5÷1) 10^–7 cm³ sec^–1; peu après le lever et peu avant le coucher du soleil devient >10^–7 cm³ sec^–1. Lorsque cos>0, d'après la règle décrcit et devient 10^–8 cm³ sec^–1. Les explications des changements de obtenus de cette manière sont données en rendant compte des changements par rapport aux ions atomiques et moléculaires, à la disparition rapide des ions positifs pendant le coucher du soleil en présence d'un coefficient de récombinaison plus grand et des changements de température eventuels. La symétrie ou l'asymétrie des fréquences critiquesf ₀ E quand cos sont égaux permettent dans la marche diurne de juger de l'ordre de . Toutes ces évaluations indiquent également des valeurs de environ 10^–7 cm³ sec^–1. En précisant des mesures def ₀ E il est possible de définir non seulement l'ordre, mais aussi la valeur de elle-même.

Summary A method for the determination of the order of the equivalent recombination coefficient is suggested, by using ionospheric data only. The increase in the speed of temporary changes indN _m /dt in the electronic densityN _m E is estimated for this purpose. The estimation is done with series of selected for the sake of expediency values of , following at the same time which curves _m (t), determined in the course of work, will coincide most closely with the _m (t) measured. The changes in , shown in figure 4, have been obtained in this way. The diurnal value of is in the range of (0.5 to 1) 10^–7 cm³ sec, being >10^–7 cm³ sec a little after sunrise and a little prior to sunset. At cos<0, by rule decreases and becomes 10^–8 cm³ sec. Explanations of the changes thus obtained in are indicated, taking into consideration the relation of atomic and molecular ions, the rapid disappearance of positive ions at sunset with a higher recombination coefficient and eventual temperature changes. From the symmetry or asymmetry of the critical frequencies off ₀ E at equal cos in the course of the day it can also be judged for the order of . All those estimates show values of in the range of 10^–7 cm³ sec. In the case of precise measurements off ₀ E, not only the determination of the order but also the real value of is possible.

     

A note on tidal current rotation

The rotational form of the vertically averaged equations of motion is applied to derive a formula, linear friction included, which establishes a direct connection between sense of rotation of tidal currents and features of tidal amphidromic systems. Two factors in the formula, called and , influence the sense of rotation of tidal currents; the factor involves the frequency of the tidal signal , the Coriolis parameter f, and the linear friction coefficient r. The sign of the cross-product of the logarithm of sea-surface elevation (), and phase () gradients determines whether the factor favors clockwise or anticlockwise sense of rotation. is a unit vector and is the angle between ln and . The limits ||0, ||0 and 0 lead to a clockwise sense of rotation in the Northern Hemisphere. 0 favors anticlockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere. Friction and low frequencies favor an anticlockwise sense of rotation. The theory works well in semi-enclosed regions like the North Sea. Although only linear friction and sea-surface elevation gradients were considered, there are ocean regions where the agreement between theory and observations is also good.Responsible Editor: Hans Burchard

Explanation of the internal air pressure effect on the worden gravity meter dial constant

Summary A model, explaining the effect of air pressure changes in the space of the measuring system on the fine dial counter constant of the Worden and similar gravity meters, is presented. It is based on the changes of the bellows volume with compensating the gravity changes. It is shown that the resetting the gravity meter in the whole range has practically no influence on the fine dial counter constant.

Quasi-static thermal deformations of a sphere by radiation from a point source

Summary In this paper the quasi-static temperature and stress distributions set up in an elastic sphere by radiation from a point source at a finite distance from the centre of the sphere and out-side it, have been discussed. The temperature boundary condition has been taken in the general form involving an arbitrary function of time.

Deep structure of the lithosphere beneath the territory of Bulgaria

Summary Teleseismic P residuals calculated for waves arriving from various azimuths and angles of incidence, and a 3-D inversion of the residuals provided the basis for characterizing the uppermost mantle structure beneath Bulgaria. The Moesian Platform and the Rhodopean Massif are two different blocks characterized by a lithosphere thickness of about 130–140 km with a zone of lithosphere thinning along their contact. Both units have opposite patterns of the directional dependence of relatively high and low P velocities. This directional dependence is interpreted by dipping anisotropic structures in the subcrustal lithosphere, which probably represent remnants of paleosubductions of an old oceanic lithosphere.

Behaviour of quartz gravity meters under high frequency vertical motion

Summary Tests on the vertical vibrating table in the frequency range of70–110 Hz indicate that quartz gravity meters are10–100 times more sensitive at some frequencies than under low-frequency excitation. At high frequencies, the reading beam is at rest and deflected from the correct position. Slow fluctuations of amplitude and frequency near resonance could cause slow irregular motion of the beam with absence of low-frequency ground motion of sufficient intensity.

Seismic zoning map of Czechoslovakia — version 1987

Summary A new version of the seismic zoning map of Czechoslovakia is presented mainly for use with the revised Building Code SN 730 036 (Seismic Loads on Buildings). In principle, the map contains the expected maximum intensities according to the macroseismic scale MSK-64. The map is based on all historical macroseismic observations in Czechoslovakia, as well as on models of macroseismic fields. The assessment of expected intensities has also been completed by a seismotectonic analysis. It is not feasible to relate the map to a particular time interval, i.e. to estimate the probability of expected maximum intensities, because of the unknown recurrence of extreme events on the territory of Czechoslovakia.

A more precise mechanical theory of askania gravity meters

Summary The measuring systems of Askania gravity meters are assumed to have 3 degrees of freedom. The axis of rotation of the beam can also be displaced in the vertical and horizontal directions. The equations of equilibrium of this system (25)–(27) were used to derive the expressions for the effect of displacing the calibration ball, for the scale equation and for the sensitivity of the gravity meter. Equations (33), (34) and (39) refer to gravity meters with a photoelectric transducer, and Eqs (46), (47) and (49) to gravity meters with a capacitive transducer.

Optimization of the shape of Gaussian beams of a fixed length

Summary The procedure of choosing the shape of Gaussian beams in order to minimize a given object function of a certain kind is proposed. The general form of the object function enables both the average square of the quadratic variation of the phase and the average square of the beamwidth to be minimized along the central ray. The error of the transformation of the Gaussian beams at the structural interfaces may also be taken into account. Most of the hitherto published suggestions of how to choose the shape of Gaussian beams are special cases of the described procedure. The aim of this paper is not to propose the object function to be minimized, but only to describe the minimization of a given object function. The minimization assumes the a priori known lengths of the central rays of the Gaussian beams (i.e. the lengths of the beams are not free parameters in the minimization procedure).
