Magnetic field at the core boundary in the nearly symmetric hydromagnetic dynamo z

Summary The behaviour of the poloidal and toroidal magnetic field at the core-mantle boundary is analysed in more detail, assuming that the conductive layer in the lowest mantle is thin. We can conclude that, in the case of the Z-model of the nearly symmetric hydromagnetic dynamo, the poloidal field may be considered potential everywhere in the mantle and that the azimuthal field depends on the geostrophic azimuthal velocity in the same manner as derived in[1] and[3].

Accuracy in measurements and the temperature and volume dependence of thermoelastic parameters

To obtain the temperatureT and volumeV (or pressureP) dependence of the Anderson-Grüneisen parameter _T , measurements with high sensitivity are required. We show two examples:P, V, T measurements of NaCl done with the piston cylinder and elasticity measurements of MgO using a resonance method. In both cases, the sensitivity of the measurements leads to results that provide information about _T (,T), where V/V ₀ andV ₀ is the volume at zero pressure. We demonstrate that determination of _T leads to understanding of the volume and temperature dependence ofq=( ln / lnV) _T over a broadV, T range, where is the Grüneisen ratio.     

The mean energetic level. theory

Summary One of the important atmospheric levels, the mean energetic level (MEL), which in a sense reflects the energetics of the whole atmosphere, is defined. Its fundamental properties are shown. In order to describe the MEL correctly a new vertical coordinate is introduced and discussed. The new coordinate, , is defined as the ratio of height and temperature. The MEL is shown to be a level with constant value of . Some incorrect conclusions concerning the MEL, derived in the past, have been corrected.List of symbols used c _p specific heat of air at constant pressure - c _v specific heat of air at constant volume - e base of natural logarithms - E total potential energy - f Coriolis parameter - g acceleration of gravity - i specific internal energy - I internal energy - J enthalpy - k unit vector pointing upwards - p pressure - Q diabatic heating rate - R gas constant of the air - t time - T temperature - v horizontal velocity - v ⁽³⁾ three-dimensional velocity - w vertical velocity in thez-system - z height - temperature growth rate (T/z) - Pechala's vertical coordinate (z/T) - generalized vertical velocity in the -system (d/dt) - specific potential energy - potential energy - density of the air - Ruppert function - T(1–)^–1 - ( ) _S quantity at the sea level - ( )* quantity at the MEL     

Is there any relation between the sun's motion and global seismic activity?

Summary The seismic energy released by global earthquake activity with time was correlated with F=||, where || is the absolute value of the change of the Sun's acceleration with time. For deep earthquakes and probability P=0.95, the coefficient of correlation was found to be around 0.4. For shallow earthquakes, the dependence was not proved.

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.

Spherical harmonic analysis and Fourier transformation

Summary The paper deals with the computation of spherical harmonic coefficients from surface measurements of the magnetic or gravity field of the Earth when the measurements are distributed regularly. The Fourier representation of associated Legendre functions which this procedure makes use of, then enables the harmonic analysis to be transformed to Fourier analysis which has better numerical properties.

The elastic properties of single-crystal fayalite as determined by dynamical measurement techniques

We present new elasticity measurements on single-crystal fayalite and combine our results with other data from resonance, pulse superposition interferometry, and Brillouin scattering to provide a set of recommended values for the adiabatic elastic moduliC _ij and their temperature variations. We use a resonance method (RPR) with specimens that were previously investigated by pulse superposition experiments. The nineC _ij of fayalite are determined from three new sets of measurements. One set of our newC _ij data is over the range 300–500 K. We believe that the relatively large discrep ncies found in someC _ij are due in large part to specimen inhomogeneities (chemical and microstructural) coupled with differences in the way various techniques sample, rather than only systematic errors associated with experimental procedures or in the preparations of the specimens.Our recommendeaC _ij's (GPa) and (C _ij/T) _p (GPa/K) are: The resulting values for the isotropic bulk and shear moduli,K _s and , and their temperature derivatives are:K _s=134(4) GPa; =50.7(0.3) GPa; (K _s/T) _p =–0.024(0.005) GPa/K; and (/T) _p =–0.013(0.001) GPa/K. An important conclusion is thatK _s increases as the Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio in olivine is increased.     

A numerical study of the heat transfer through a fluid layer with recirculating flow between concentric and eccentric spheres

A numerical study has been made of the heat transfer through a fluid layer with recirculating flow. The outer fluid surface was assumed to be spherical, while the inner surface consisted of a sphere concentrically or eccentrically located with respect to the outer spherical surface. The recirculating flow was assumed to be driven by a gas flow creating stress on the fluid's outer surface so that creeping (low Reynolds number) flow developed in its interior. The present study solves the Stokes equation of motion and the convective diffusion equation in bispherical coordinates and presents the streamline and isotherm patterns.Nomenclature a _i inner sphere radius - a _d outer sphere radius - A ₁ defined by equation (5) - A ₂ defined by equation (6) - B ₁ defined by equation (7) - B ₂ defined by equation (8) - c dimensional factor for bispherical coordinates - C constant in equation (4) - d narrowest distance between the two eccentric spheres - E ² operator defined by equation (1) in spherical coordinates and by equation (21) in bispherical coordinates - G modified vorticity, defined in equation (22) - G ^* non-dimensional modified vorticity, defined in equation (28) - h metric coefficient of bispherical coordinate system, defined in equation (18) - k _w thermal conductivity of water - K ₁ defined by equation (9) - K ₂ defined by equation (10) - N _Re Reynolds number=2a _dU/gn - N _Pe,h Peclet number=2a _dU/ - n integer counter - q heat flux - r radius - r ^* non-dimensional radius=r/a _d - S surface area - t time - t ^* non-dimensional time=t/a _d ² - T temperature - T _o temperature at inner sphere surface - T _a temperature at outer sphere surface - T ^* non-dimensional temperature;=(T–T _o)/(T_a–T_o) - u velocity - u _r radial velocity in spherical coordinates - u angular velocity in spherical coordinates - u radial velocity in bispherical coordinates - u angular velocity in bispherical coordinates - U free stream velocity - u _r ^* =u _r/U - u ^* =u /U - u ^* =u /U - u ^* =u /U Greek symbols a ₁ small displacement - vorticity, defined in equation (17) - ^* non-dimensional vorticity, defined in equation (27) - radial bispherical coordinates - _o bispherical coordinate of inner sphere - _a bispherical coordinate of outer sphere - angular coordinate in spherical coordinates - thermal diffusivity - _w thermal diffusivity of water - kinematic viscosity - angular bispherical coordinate - spherical coordinate - streamfunction - non-dimensional streamfunction for spherical coordinates, = /(U a _d ² ) - ^* non-dimensional streamfunction for bispherical coordinates, defined in equation (26)     

Predictions of magnetic fields for Uranus and Neptune

Summary The magnetic moments of Uranus and Neptune have been predicted using different scaling laws of planetary magnetism. The predictions for Uranus cover a broad band of values from very weak magnetic fields (tidal relations) to moderate fields (thermal convection hypothesis). Therefore, the direct measurements of this field by Voyager 2 (January 1986) will be very important for testing the individual hapotheses.

Coulomb constitutive laws for friction: Contrasts in frictional behavior for distributed and localized shear

We describe slip-rate dependent friction laws based on the Coulomb failure criteria. Frictional rate dependence is attributed to a rate dependence of cohesionc and friction angle . We show that differences in the stress states developed during sliding result in different Coulomb friction laws for distributed shear within a thick gouge layer versus localized shear within a narrow shear band or between bare rock surfaces. For shear within gouge, shear strength is given by =c cos + _n sin, whereas for shear between bare rock surfaces the shear strength is =c cos + _n tan, where and _n are shear and normal stress, respectively. In the context of rate-dependent Coulomb friction laws, these differences mean that for a given material and rate dependence of the Coulomb parameters, pervasive shear may exhibit velocity strengthening frictional behavior while localized shear exhibits velocity weakening behavior. We derive from experimental data the slip-rate dependence and evolution ofc and for distributed and localized shear. The data show a positive rate dependence for distributed shear and a negative rate dependence for localized shear, indicating that the rate dependence ofc and are not the same for distributed and localized shear, even after accounting for differences in stress state. Our analysis is consistent with the well-known association of instability with shear localization in simulated fault gouge and the observation that bare rock surfaces exhibit predominantly velocity weakening frictional behavior whereas simulated fault gouge exhibits velocity strengthening followed by a transition to velocity weakening with increasing displacement. Natural faults also exhibit displacement dependent frictional behavior and thus the results may prove useful in understanding the seismic evolution of faulting.     

Effects of the imf sector structure in the midlatitude troposphere and stratosphere

Summary The data on geopotential heights and temperatures at 7 pressure levels between 1000-10 hPa above Berlin(52.5 °N, 13.4 °E) are analysed for the winters of 1963–1973. No demonstrable effect of the interplanetary magnetic field sector boundary crossing (IMF SBC) is found in the lower and middle stratosphere, but there is a demonstrable effect in the middle troposphere at the 500 hPa level. This effect is less important than the IMF SBC effect in the tropospheric vorticity area index and seems to be of a different type.

Topographic effects on tidal strains and tilts

Summary Topographic effects on tidal strains and tilts are studied using a homogeneous elastic spherical model. Expressions for local perturbing strains and tilts are derive das functions of the physical and geometrical parameters of the model. It is demonstrated that tidal tilts are affected more by the topography than tidal strains.

The dependence A/t=k V _c.c. and T/t=k ¹ V _c.c. is obtained. Unmovable depression (V _c.c. =0) does not stipulate the change of A/t and T/t.

Deep structure of the bohemian massif from phase velocities of Rayleigh and Love waves

Summary Phase velocities of Rayleigh and Love waves have been measured between the broadband seismic stations KHC (Kaperské Hory, South Bohemia) and KSP (Ksi, Lower Silesia), a profile that nearly coincides with the Interactional DSS Profile VII. The data for both wave types were separately inverted into models of shear-wave velocity versus depth. Novotný's model KHKS 82[1] for the DSS Profile VII was used as a start model. While the crustal section of Novotný's model is compatible with both of our data sets, our Rayleigh-wave data require smaller shear-wave velocities, on the average by 0.24 km/s, in the top 180 km of the mantle. The average difference between Novotný's model and our Love-wave model in that depth range is only 0.06 km/s. If our identification of the observed Love waves as the fundamental mode is correct, this result indicates the presence of polarization anisotropy in the uppermost mantle.

Normal density earth models

Summary Models of the Earth's density, close to thePREM model, have been derived, they reproduce the external normal gravitational field of the Earth and its dynamic flattening, and are referred to as normal density models. The Earth's surface is approximated by an ellipsoid of the order of the flattening, or of its square. Of the group of normal models sgtisfying the solution of the inverse problem, the normal density modelHME2 is recommended. The spherically symmetric density modelPREM, which was corrected in the course of solving the inverse problem, thus creating the modifiedPREM-E2 model, was used as the a priori information.

Characteristics of the mid-latitude ionosphere suitable for modelling ionospheric filtration of ULF waves

Summary An approximate method of one-dimensional modelling of the plasma of the Earth's ionosphere is demonstrated for purposes of studying the ionospheric filtration of ULF waves (micropulsations). Apart from the basic local parameters, characterizing the plasma, also derived local characteristics have been defined, i.e. the mass of the so-called effective ion and its effective collision frequency . Drawing on existing empirical models of the mid-latitude ionosphere, vertical profiles (50 km h 1000 km) were determined of the characteristics N_e N_i, v_e, and for the daytime and nighttime mid-latitude ionosphere under low and enhanced solar activity, which can be used to study the ionospheric ULF filter.
