Tidal Response Characteristics of the Well Water Level in the Sichuan-Yunnan Region

In this paper, the long time series data of the well water-level data of 12 wells in the Sichuan and Yunnan area is analyzed by the Baytap-G tidal analysis software, and well water level tidal response characteristic parameters (amplitude ratio and phase change) are extracted. We analyzed the features of the shape and stage change, and characteristic parameters of the tidal response of well water level before and after the earthquakes, which can provide a new method and approach to analyzing the response relationships between well water level and earth tide and barometric pressure. The results show that Luguhu Well and 9 other wells are affected by earth tides, and their well water level amplitude ratios and phases are relatively stable; the Nanxi Well and Dayao Well water level changes are affected by the barometric pressure combined with tide force, and their well water level amplitude ratios and phases are more discrete. The water level amplitude ratios and phases of Jiangyou Well, Luguhu Well and Dongchuan Well are significant to large earthquakes, and the relationship between seismic energy density and water level amplitude ratios and phases of M₂ wave of the three wells are presented.     

Submarine Ground Water Discharge Driven by Tidal Pumping in a Heterogeneous Aquifer

Submarine ground water discharge (SGD) is now recognized as an important water pathway between land and sea. It is difficult to quantitatively predict SGD owing to its significant spatial and temporal variability. This study focuses on quantitative estimation of SGD caused by tidally induced sea water recirculation and a terrestrial hydraulic gradient. A two-dimensional hydrogeological model was developed to simulate SGD from a coastal unconfined aquifer in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, where previous SGD studies were performed. A density-variable numerical code, SEAWAT2000, was applied to simulate SGD. To accurately predict discharge, various influencing factors such as heterogeneity in conductivity, uncertain boundary conditions, and tidal pumping were systematically assessed. The tidally influenced sea water recirculation zone and the fresh water–salt water mixing zone under various tidal patterns, tidal ranges, and water table heights were also investigated. The model was calibrated and validated from long-term, intensive measurements at the study site. The percentage of fresh SGD relative to total SGD ranged from 4% to 50% under normal conditions. Based on simulations of two field measurements in summer and spring, respectively, the fresh water ratios were 9% and 15%, respectively. These results support the hypothesis that the SGD induced by tidally driven sea water recirculation is much larger than terrestrial fresh ground water discharge at this site. The estimates of total and fresh SGD are at the low and high ends, respectively, of the estimation ranges obtained from geochemical tracers (e.g., ²²²Rn).     

祁县井水温和水位的奇异潮汐关系探讨

Tidal phase of water temperature in Qixian well, Shanxi Province is ahead of water level, which is different from the normal tidal relationship between water temperature and water level. Observation curves of this phenomenon are introduced in this paper, and co-seismic response data of water temperature and water level are used to check the thermometer time system, confirming that this phenomenon is true. Using the harmonic analysis method, variations of time difference between water temperature and water level for the M2 wave are worked out, which indicates that this phenomenon exists during the whole observation. According to the variations of phase lags for water temperature and water level, and the survey of observation conditions, it is considered that the abnormal phenomenon may be related to inadequate passage of water caused by a well blockage at the depth where the water temperature probe was set.     

Application of Wavelet Decomposition to Removing Barometric and Borehole Water Tidal Response in Level

Wavelet decomposition is used to analyze barometric fluctuation and earth tidal response in borehole water level changes. We apply wavelet analysis method to the decomposition of barometric fluctuation and earth tidal response into several temporal series in different frequency ranges. Barometric and tidal coefficients in different frequency ranges are computed with least squares method to remove barometric and tidal response. Comparing this method with general linear regression analysis method, we find wavelet analysis method can efficiently remove barometric and earth tidal response in borehole water level. Wavelet analysis method is based on wave theory and vibration theories. It not only considers the frequency characteristic of the observed data but also the temporal characteristic, and it can get barometric and tidal coefficients in different frequency ranges. This method has definite physical meaning.

小波分析在井水位的气压和潮汐改正中的应用

本文将小波分析方法应用于地下水位观测资料的气压和潮汐改正中。该方法利用小波将气压观测和理论重力固体潮资料分解为不同频段的时间序列,用最小二乘法求出气压和固体潮不同频段的响应系数,以消除气压和固体潮对水位的影响。用该方法计算的结果与一般线形回归分析方法得到的结果进行对比,发现该方法能更有效地分析和消除气压和固体潮对地下水位的影响。小波分解在井水位气压、潮汐改正中的应用以波动理论和振动理论为基础,它不仅考虑了观测资料的频率域特性,而且还能直接在时间域内计算出不同频率范围的气压系数和潮汐系数,具有明确的物理意义。

Tidal theory with Newtonian cooling

Summary Processes representable by Newtonian cooling models are found to be of importance for tides in various planetary atmospheres. The equations of tidal theory are, therefore, rederived to include a rather general Newtonian cooling, and some of the effects of this inclusion are investigated.     

Tidal components of geomagnetic variations

The natural geomagnetic field is constantly disturbed. The total registered effect of geomagnetic variations depends on both planetary and local processes. Planetary sources and sources in the Earth’s core respond to tidal effects. In the accepted model, the complex MHD processes in the Earth’s outer core are approximated by the assumed ring current in the equatorial plain of the liquid core. The geomagnetic variation originating as a result of tidal deformations of ring currents are ～10^?4 and 0.10–1 nT in the liquid core and magnetosphere, respectively. The calculated values coincide in order of magnitude with the processed geomagnetic measurements at Paratunka observatory (Kamchatka region).     

Tidal friction for semidiurnal tides

The quadratic law of bottom friction demands an increased frictional coefficient for the S₂ and N₂ tides with respect to a dominant M₂ tidal signal. A numerical model of the semidiurnal tides in the northeast Atlantic gives an increase in friction of ∼35% for the N₂, S₂ and K₂ tides with respect to the M₂ tide and this value is close to a theoretically derived estimate for the region, providing confirmation of the general widescale applicability of the quadratic friction law. Small differences in friction also occur for the N₂, S₂ and K₂ tides and this is attributed to the interaction of the L₂ and μ₂ tides with the M₂ tide in the presence of quadratic friction. Energy dissipation relationships, anomalous K₂/S₂ amplitude ratios and the role of quadratic friction on 18.6 year variations of semidiurnal forcing are examined.

Tidal effects on the thermosphere

Theoretical understanding of the earth's atmosphere is not possible without accounting for tidal waves and their interactions. In the thermosphere, tides represent the dominant motion system. Current observational efforts are aimed at providing tidal morphologies, i.e., maps of the vertical profiles of the tidal fields as a function of time for various locations. These are in hand for the mesosphere and have proved extraordinarily useful in deriving appropriate inputs for numerical models of the thermosphere. The basic latitudinal, seasonal, and solar cycle variation of the tides in the thermosphere is much less well known but the advent of coordinated global multi-day campaigns promises to ameliorate the situation. Progress would be facilitated by agreement on a standard data reduction procedure. Theoretical efforts are focused on simulating the observed morphologies and understanding the day to day variations while investigating mutual interactions and feedback between the mean atmosphere and the tidal, gravity, and planetary waves.     

Tidal triggering of deep moonquakes

Matching signals have previously been identified from about eighty repeating deep moonquake sources. These moonquakes clearly display tidal periodicities in their histories of origin times and signal amplitudes; they are presumably triggered by the solid-body tide in the moon, raised primarily by the earth. The A1 hypocentre has been the most active and has also produced seismograms with signals of reversed polarity. In an attempt to deduce focal mechanisms for these events, we calculated various tidal stress functions at the Al hypocentre using a homogeneous moon model, and correlated them with the origin times of events. No good correlation was found, either for tidal stress peaks of consistent polarity, or for tidal stress peaks of opposite polarity at the times of “inverted” events. This could be due to an inaccurate moon model, but it has also been noted that the relative amplitudes of signals recorded at different seismic stations vary between events from the same hypocentre. Earthquake swarms often contain events with fault-plane solutions in very different orientations. A similar variation between events from each deep moonquake hypocentre would explain the different amplitude ratios and also the “inverted” events.     

Tidal observations near an amphidrome

The signal to noise ratio in tidal data in the diurnal and semidiurnal frequency bands is ordinarily so large that the noise contribution to the tidal harmonic constants is unimportant. However, as the observational locations are selected progressively closer to an amphidrome (point of no tide), the signal to noise ratio decreases, making the tidal harmonic constants less dependable. Standard deviations in amplitude of M₂ and S₂ obtained from 12 29-day analyses of a year of tide data obtained at a standard tide station, estimated to be 280 and 550 km away from the amphidromes for these constituents in the eastern Caribbean, are roughly one-third of the mean amplitudes for these constituents; the standard deviations in epoch are 38° and 30° respectively. Therefore, a program to locate an amphidrome precisely is self-defeating and the location can only be approximated by a grid of tide observations spanning the geographic position and/or by longer series of observations, using higher resolution to increase the signal to noise ratio. Amplitudes of 0.64 cm and 1.24 cm were calculated for M₂ and S₂ from a one-month series of pelagic observations obtained very close to an inferred position of the M₂ amphidrome in the northeast Caribbean Sea.Abbreviations C&GS Coast and Geodetic Survey - CICAR Cooperative Investigation of the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions - IAPSO International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean - ICOT Institute of Coastal Oceanography and Tides - IDOE International Decade of Ocean Exploration - NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - NOS National Ocean Survey - NSF National Science Foundation - SCOR Scientific Committee of Oceanic Research - UNESCO United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization
