Statistical relations of the run-up height of Tsunami waves to the distance and energy of the source

A statistical analysis of the relation between the run-up height of historical tsunami events and the distance and magnitude of the source was performed on the basis of the known Historical Tsunami Data Base [5]. The sample from the database used for the analysis comprises 5638 run-ups caused by 628 seismic events. This analysis, together with the dimensionality theory, shows that the statistical average of the run-up height is inversely proportional to the distance from the source to a power close to 1/2 (that is characteristic of the cylindrically symmetrical case) and directly proportional to the 3/8 power of the earthquake energy.     

波动分析约束下的原型盆地剥蚀量恢复——以惠民凹陷为例

为准确的恢复原型盆地剥蚀量，提出在波动分析法约束下，恢复原型盆地剥蚀量的新思路。即通过波动分析法界定剥蚀的区域和厚度范围，再精确计算原型盆地剥蚀量。并以惠民凹陷新生代为例，首先运用波动分析原理，得出反映凹陷形成与发展的主周期波为57，27和7．5Ma，根据7．5Ma的周期波反映凹陷内不同沉积期间断面的剥蚀情况，来确定区域的剥蚀范围。然后根据惠民凹陷的地质特点及资料情况，采用沉积速率法、镜质体反射率差值法、地层对比法等来恢复局部地层的剥蚀量。在波动分析法的约束下，参考地质沉积史和构造演化分析的结果，综合加权平均得到最终的地层剥蚀厚度，以确保计算结果精确。研究结果表明：受波动旋回的影响，沙四段和孔店组地层普遍存在剥蚀，剥蚀厚度较大的区域主要集中在凹陷边缘或靠近隆起区，剥蚀量最小的区域是阳信洼陷，说明该区沙四上亚段和孔二段烃源岩没有遭受破坏，具有较大的勘探潜力。     

Dependence of the types of coasts and coastal eolian relief on the variations of the sea level using the example of the Caspian Sea

In this work, the history of the development of the Turali area (the Dagestan coast of the Caspian Sea) in the Late Holocene is under consideration. The analysis of the geological structure of the bay bar that separates the Bolshoy Turali lagoon from the sea, the granulometric analysis of the coastal deposits, and the data of geo-radar profiles make it possible to assert that the large eolian relief forms were formed during the New Caspian (Novokaspiyskoe) transgression of the Caspian Sea.     

Estimation of the characteristics of the thermodynamic structure of waters in the Newfoundland energy-active zone based on the results of four-dimensional analysis

The seasonal and interannual variability of the heat and dynamic characteristics of the ocean is analysed based on the results of four-dimensional analysis of measurements taken in the Newfoundland energy area during 1982–1986. The horizontal and vertical large-scale circulation of waters is considered in the interaction with the quasi-steady anticyclonic eddy. Data are supplied on the response of the results of four-dimensional analysis to the initial conditions and the bulk measurement data.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov.

Features of the crustal structure of the Arabian Sea

An analysis of the gravity field and geoid heights allowed us to distinguish a third buried basin filled with sediments located in the southwestern part of the sea in the regions adjacent to the Carlsberg Ridge. From the previously known basins, it is separated by saddles. The saddles correspond to a series of faults and are possibly related to the pulse character of the northwestward prograding of the spreading axes of the Carlsberg Ridge. The continental origin of the Laxmi ridge is confirmed. The results of an analysis of the gravity field and its transformants, together with the two-dimensional density modeling, agree with the possibility of the existence of a spreading type of the crust (I) in the region of the Laxmi Basin. An analysis of the geoid height anomalies allows us to suggest that, with respect to the upper layers of the lithosphere, the Laxmi Ridge is not connected with the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge.

Synoptic variability of the currents in the Gotland Basin of the Baltic Sea

The series of long-term observations of synoptic-scale currents obtained by instrumental measurements at the moorings in the Gotland Basin of the Baltic Sea are analyzed. The results of the statistical analysis of the currents reveal their wave structure. The characteristics of the low-frequency waves received on the basis of the cross-spectral analysis show that, in the range of periods from 2 to 20 days, they propagated in the southwestern, southeastern, and northwestern directions with phase speeds of 0.02–2.08 m/s and have lengths from 28 to 431 km. It is suggested that the distinguished wavelike perturbations of the synoptic-scale currents are related to topographic waves. The analysis of the meteorological conditions and the results of the numerical hydrodynamic modeling of the Baltic Sea free low-frequency fluctuations led us to conclude that the most possible mechanism of the generation of the intense wave-like oscillations of synoptic-scale currents in the Gotland Basin is the resonance between the anemobaric forces and the relatively slow-moving anticyclones over the open Baltic Sea and the eigenmode of the basin.     

An effectivemethod for improving the accuracy of Argo objective analysis

Based on the optimal interpolation objective analysis of the Argo data, improvements are made to the em- pirical formula of a background error covariance matrix widely used in data assimilation and objective anal- ysis systems. Specifically, an estimation of correlation scales that can improve effectively the accuracy of Ar- go objective analysis has been developed. This method can automatically adapt to the gradient change of a variable and is referred to as ＂gradient-dependent correlation scale method＂. Its effect on the Argo objective analysis is verified theoretically with Gaussian pulse and spectrum analysis. The results of one-dimensional simulation experiment show that the gradient-dependent correlation scales can improve the adaptability of the objective analysis system, making it possible for the analysis scheme to fully absorb the shortwave information of observation in areas with larger oceanographic gradients. The new scheme is applied to the Argo data obiective analysis system in the Pacific Ocean. The results are obviously improved.

Spectrophotometric and iodometric methods for the detection of hydrogen sulfide in the Black Sea: Comparison of the results of analysis

We discuss the results of analysis of published data and field and laboratory investigations aimed at the solution of the problem of comparabilityof the results of detection of hydrogen sulfide in the Black Sea by spectrophotometric and iodometric methods. We show that the reproducibility of the results of spectrophotometric analysis is higher than hat of the iodometric method only in the case where the content of sulfide in a sample is less than 10–30 μMl⁻¹. When larger concentrations are involved, the traditional iodometric analysis proves to be the most precise and reliable method for the detection of hydrogen sulfide in the Black-Sea waters.

Assessment of the effects of hydrocarbon contamination on the sedimentary bacterial communities and determination of the polar lipid fraction purity: Relevance of intact phospholipid analysis

This in situ study reports on the relevance of intact phospholipids as new biomarkers and highlights the limits of the classical fatty acid analysis after the hydrolysis of the polar lipid fraction. The analysis of polar lipid fractions revealed significant contributions of marine macrophytes with either non-phospholipid compounds (sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol) or with both non-bacterial phospholipid classes (phosphatidylcholine) and non-bacterial phospholipid molecular species (some molecular species of phosphatidylglycerol). The analysis of intact phospholipids showed also the predominance of gram-negative bacteria in sediments whereas the analysis of fatty acids alone cannot confirm such information. Lastly, as regard to the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on the sedimentary bacterial communities, we observed a higher degree of saturation of the fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids extracted from sediment exposed to a massive and chronic crude oil contamination. Such a result was interpreted as an adaptive response resulting in higher membrane rigidity of the bacterial communities.

A theoretical analysis of the scattering of high-frequency (HF) electromagnetic waves from rough surfaces is proposed. The analysis, when applied to a model for the ocean surface, leads to new predictions of its second-order backscattered radar cross section in addition to those provided by existing theories. Some of the predictions of the theory have already been verified experimentally.

Application of the dynamico-stochastic modelling to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of large ocean currents based on hydrophysical data

The paper considers the reconstruction of ocean currents from the asynchronously-compiled temperature and salinity data using three different techniques: the diagnostic method, the sequential objective analysis and the four-dimensional (4D) analysis based on dynamico-stochastic modelling. Intercomparison of the techniques is implemented on the basis of numerical model experiments carried out for the Newfoundland energetically-active area. Assessed is the accuracy of reconstruction of various hydrophysical fields using the techniques suggested. The advantage of applying 4D analysis is shown.Translated by V. Puchkin.
