Surface current measurements with GEK during the period from 1960 to 1962 in the region south of Japan have been analyzed statistically. Characteristics of the meander for the west of 138?E are found to be different from those for the east: the surface current speed is higher and the current path is more stable in the west of 138?E. 相似文献

The multistreamer Side-Looking Seismic system presented in this paper makes a sonograph of uncovered or buried crustal topography, thus revealing the structural fabric of the oceanic basement, even when this is covered with a sedimentary layer. Major elements of the system are an airgun as a sound source, five single-channel parallel streamers and two minicomputers for signal capture and processing.The system is used simultaneously for enhanced single-channel seismic profiling and for side-looking seismics. A vertical section with an improved signal-to-noise ratio and a suppression of side-echoes is produced on a digital seismic recorder. Primary side-looking seismic output in the form of 5 profiles with different angles of incidence is obtained within 10 seconds. This part of the processing can be done in real time.In sediment-covered areas the low frequencies used cause the slanted profiles (the side beams in the primary output) to be side-looking sonar images of buried topography. The projection process yielding final side-looking output corrects for slant range deformation caused by the water column and, if necessary, for deformation caused by refraction within the sedimentary column. The result approaches a conformal map of the structure of the traversed basement. Swath width is mainly determined by water depth and refraction effects in the sediment. In Madeira abyssal plain a swath width of 8000 m was attained in a water depth of 5000 m.Within the swath, oceanic basement structures are recognized in the form of elongate more or less parallel reflectors. They are interpreted as buried spreading topography. The lack of side-echoes within fracture zones combined with typical wall signatures can be used to trace fracture zones. These features are demonstrated for an area in Madeira abyssal plain. 相似文献

To area-average the horizontal divergence and the vertical component of vorticity, three methods are proposed and examined. The polygon method is based on deformations of a polygon made by connecting drifters. They are deployed at widely different scales of 1 cm– 1,000 km and tracked using various procedures. The loop method is adopted when a drifter completes at least two loops of trajectory in a tidal vortex, a ring or a gyre. Even if data for a drifter completing only one loop is available, the vorticity can be calculated. The crossing method is applied to the GEK data on the circumference of a Kuroshio ring. The data which will be used to calculate them in Part 2 are summarized in tables. Offset dispositions of positive and negative divergences or vorticities on a horizontal plane and in a water column are shown. Probably, the vertical offset of vorticities does not occur in general. The area-turnover of a polygon of drifters are discussed. Sampling time-intervals, appropriate to the scale of the area, for the polygon and loop methods are examined. A first impression of Rhines' (1979) sketch has produced a misunderstanding that the polygon method would be useless because a limited number of drifters cannot follow such a complicated deformation of the material line over a long period. It is shown that adopting a short time-scale appropriate to the length scale furnishes a practical solution to the problem. 相似文献

A new experimental protocol is explored to characterize electrical properties of hydrocarbon-bearing mudrocks at nano/micro scales. Two current flow regimes of peak force - tunneling atomic force microscopy (PF-TUNA) have been used: (1) the vertical out-of-plane current regime with hundred micrometer diameter top electrodes obtains homogenized conductivity quantitatively, (2) the horizontal in-plane current regime was shown powerful to visualize the conductive paths (related to connectivity and tortuosity) for heterogeneous and anisotropic shales. Results show that the approach works well with one to two layers of adsorbed water (25–55% relative humidity) under low frequency (0.5–20 Hz) for shale rocks. Current maps with sub-nanometer resolution emphasize the dominant role of hydrated ions associated with the hydrophilic clay minerals in driving the dielectric response of shales, while conductivity of pyrite and kerogen cannot be neglected for mature organic-rich shale conductive network. The acquired I-V curves at microscale provide a reliable mean to evaluate homogenized conductivity of such multiscale multi-component heterogeneous material under controlled environmental conditions. The procedure discussed herein serves as a complement for fine grained rocks and minerals of ionic-electronic hybrid conductive mechanism under partially water saturation. These results can be used to develop accurate electrical models, specifically for shale rocks with heterogeneous and sophisticated microstructure. The methodology can be also extended to other micro- or meso-porous geomaterials such as cementitious and bituminous nanoporous media. 相似文献

Electrode polarization is a major problem in the determination of dielectric properties of samples, particularly at low frequencies.
Understanding of these interfacial phenomena is essential in order to measure correctly the electrical properties of a sample
of interest. This paper presents a comparative study of the effect of electrode contact impedance on A.C. electrical properties
of a partially and fully saturated hematitic sandstone sample. The electrical properties of the sample were first measured
using stainless steel electrodes with high contact impedance, and measured again with a four terminal Cu–CuSO4 electrode of low contact impedance. Complex impedance measurements at room temperature (~16°C) were performed in the frequency
range from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. Measured electrical spectra vary strongly with the electrode type. The difference in the electrical
properties between the two electrode types (stainless steel and Cu–CuSO4) may be attributed to the surface contact impedance between the sample and the electrode. Experimental data indicate that
the electrical properties vary strongly with water saturation. The dielectric constant decreases with frequency and increases
with saturation up to a certain saturation limit then decreases. Charge transport can occur either through the bulk of the
solid matrix (hematite or sand) or along the grain boundaries of aggregates (water). When soil minerals are exposed to water,
exchangeable ions go into solution. Most of the ionic or covalent bonded rock forming minerals such as quartz, mica, and feldspars
are nonconductors. When the surfaces of these minerals come into contact with liquid water, electrolytes are formed and ionic
drift associated with the electrical field causes electrical conduction. The anomalous dielectric properties of partially
saturated rocks can be interpreted using percolation theory. This theory predicts that when the conductive fraction (water)
increases, clustering of conductive inclusions develops, and the thickness of insulating gaps between conductive clusters
decreases, causing a large increment in the capacitance of the sample. Further increases in the conductive component causes
the shunting of insulating capacitive gaps. 相似文献

Stability of a one-layer density-driven coastal current with a surface front whose potential vorticity is uniformly zero is examined, and it is shown that such a current can be unstable if the stability condition derived by Paldor (1983) is not satisfied,i.e., the current width,L, is larger than 2/3U/f, wheref is the Coriolis parameter andU is the current velocity at the front. This instability is caused by the coalescence of a frontal trapped and coastal trapped waves. The energetics of this instability and the effect of potential vorticity gradient are also discussed. 相似文献

This paper describes a simple method for determining the wavelength of small amplitude waves under laboratory conditions where reflected wave components are present both with and without a mean current flow superimposed. It assumes a locally horizontal bed but requires no a priori assumption concerning the form of the dispersion relation with a coexisting current. Synchronous measurements of the water surface recorded along any straight line are analysed to yield Fourier coefficients at each location. It is then shown that for all practical conditions excluding a perfect standing wave, the average rate of change of wave phase in the chosen direction can be related directly to the component of incident wave number in that direction, irrespective of reflection coefficient or relative current strength. The technique has been applied to regular and bichromatic waves in a flume with an absorbing wave generator, and can also be applied in 3-D wave basins where waves and currents intersect at arbitrary angles. In combined wave–current experiments, by assuming the linear dispersion relation, it is also possible to estimate the effective current velocity. 相似文献

Historical GEK data provided by JODC is analyzed to investigate the characteristic variation in velocity of the Kuroshio, with special reference to the formation of small meanders south of Kyûshû. It is found that, during or prior to the period of small meander formation, there is a tendency for an abrupt increase in the current velocity west of Yaku-Shima (Yaku-Island), representing an increase in the main current intensity upstream. Also, there are apparent time lags in the variation in current velocity along the path of the Kuroshio between the upstream and the downstream regions of the small meander area. Namely, it is apparent that the increase in Kuroshio velocity in the Satsunan Strait procedes that offshore of Shikoku during the period of the small meander formation, by the order of one month. These results indicate that a nonlinear effect due to the increase in current velocity is a possible cause of the generation of small meanders. 相似文献

Surface currents around Hokkaido in the late fall of 1981 obtained from analysis of satellite images
Yuji Hatakeyama Sotaro Tanaka Toshiro Sugimura Tsukasa Nishimura 《Journal of Oceanography》1985,41(5):327-336
This paper describes the characteristics of currents around Hokkaido using a current vector map compiled by chasing the displacement of sea marks on a pair of successive thermal infrared images taken from a satellite, NOAA-6. The points of some sea surface patterns showing distinctive features which can be commonly identified in both images are called Sea Marks≓. This sea mark chase method≓ has a great advantage over velocity measurements by boats or buoys, in that it gives a synoptic view of the velocity distribution over a broad sea area extending for some hundreds of miles on a short time scale of half a day.In order to investigate the current in the late fall of 1981, we used the data taken at 19:05 JST on 30 October and at 7:20 JST on 31 October. With these data taken with a 12 hr difference, the measurement accuracy of the speed of sea marks reached ±0.1 knot through geometrical correction. The velocity vectors of sea marks agreed with results of GEK measurements performed on those days, and also with the mean current pattern obtained in the past based on sea surface data.The most distinct features recognized were some cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies of the order of 100 km in diameter which dominated in the Kuril Basin of the Okhotsk Sea. They appeared clearly in the original NOAA images and their physical parameters were determined quantitatively from the vector map. These eddies were located in the region of decay of the Soya Warm Current and were rotating at a speed nearly as large as that of the current. The problems of what feeds energy to these eddies and how long they live remain to be solved in future studies. 相似文献

While clastic mudstones and shale were traditionally interpreted to have been deposited in quiet water settings, recent flume experiments and studies have shown that mud can be transported in and deposited by traction currents as migrating ripples of mud aggregates. Despite these recent advances, mud aggregates have rarely been adequately described in the rock record.These mud aggregates and the sedimentary structures they form in mudstone successions are difficult to observe in the rock record due to compaction, which often obliterates the aggregates and flattens bedforms. This paper documents unambiguously identifiable sand sized mudstone aggregates in thin sections and SEM, transported in traction, and deposited in a series of prograding clinothems. These aggregates were sufficiently indurated to locally preserve shelter porosity, significantly improving the hydrocarbon reservoir properties.Grain size analysis of the aggregates was performed on thin sections, as well as disaggregated samples measured by a laser diffraction grain size analyzer for comparison. These analyses showed that sand sized aggregates often comprise more than half of the sediment volume. While the clay-rich composition of the Carlile Formation would suggest that it is a mudstone, statistical analysis of these grain size measurements show that it could alternatively be described as a silty sandstone. These findings potentially change how we think about mudstone classification, fine-grained sedimentation, and mudstone dominated petroleum reservoirs. 相似文献

In order to specify a vertical thermal structure related to surface current variation on the continental slope in Tosa Bay,
Japan, we analyzed monthly regular hydrographic measurements in the years 1991–2004. Subsurface temperature below 200 m on
the slope was found to vary synchronously with the vertical displacement of the main thermocline around 200 m. It is shown
that the vertical-averaged temperature below 200 m is significantly correlated with an along-isobath/southwestward surface
current velocity on the slope. This correlation indicates that when a strong (weak) southwestward surface current is observed,
temperature below 200 m decreases (increases) simultaneously, that is, isotherms below the 200 m are displaced upward (downward)
together with the main thermocline. Moreover, when the strong southwestward flow is detected, across-isobath isotherms around
200 m slope upward toward the offshore direction. Furthermore, it is suggested that as the Kuroshio axis moves offshore south
of the bay, the southwestward flow tends to be weakened by the combined effect of other Kuroshio parameters such as transport
and stream width as well as the Kuroshio axis position. As a result, it is inferred that the correlation between the surface
current and subsurface temperature can be interpreted in terms of the formation and decay of an anticlockwise circulation
interacting with a cold eddy. 相似文献

Accurate estimation of wave uplift force is essential to the designs of reliable coastal and marine structures.We presents a series of laboratory work here on the impact of regular waves on horizontal panels,from which an empirical formula to estimate accurately the wave uplift force on panels is established.The laboratory measurements show that the wave uplift force depends mainly on the incident wave height,the wave period,the wave length,the panel width,and the clearance between the subsurface of the panel and the still water level.Among these factors,the impact of the panel width on uplift forces is relatively complicated.Result shows that the relative panel width(i.e.,the ratio of panel width to wave length)plays a more important role in estimating the wave uplift force.Based on our comprehensive laboratory measurements,we further developed an empirical formula to compute wave uplift force on horizontal panels through dimensionless analysis.Compared with other empirical formulas,this formula uses dimensionless variables of clear physical meanings,thus can describe the interaction between waves and the panels in a better way.In addition,the efficiency of the formula to estimate wave uplift force on horizontal panels is verified against existing works.Therefore,the findings in this study shall be useful for understanding the mechanism of wave uplift force on horizontal panels and numerical model validation. 相似文献

In the past 30 years, I have been engaged in the study of the Kuroshio, especially of its time variations. In the course of the study I have tried to introduce various new methods such as GEK, mean sea level observation at island tide stations, multiple ship survey and temperature measurement by submarine cable and so on. In this report, some aspects of these studies are described and the usefulness of tide stations for the investigation of oceanic current is emphasized. 相似文献

Hydrographic data and composite current velocity data (ADCP and GEK) were used to examine the seasonal variations of upper-ocean
flow in the southern sea area of Hokkaido, which includes the “off-Doto” and “Hidaka Bay” areas separated by Cape Erimo. During
the heating season (April–September), the outflow of the Tsugaru Warm Current (TWC) from the Tsugaru Strait first extends
north-eastward, and then one branch of TWC turns to the west along the shelf slope after it approaches the Hidaka Shelf. The
main flow of TWC evolves continuously, extending eastward as far as the area off Cape Erimo. In the late cooling season (January–March),
part of the Oyashio enters Hidaka Bay along the shallower part of the shelf slope through the area off Cape Erimo, replacing
almost all of the TWC water, and hence the TWC devolves. It is suggested that the bottom-controlled barotropic flow of the
Oyashio, which may be caused by the small density difference between the Oyashio and the TWC waters and the southward migration
of main front of TWC, permits the Oyashio water to intrude along the Hidaka shelf slope. 相似文献

The toe structure of a breakwater provides support to the armour layer and protects the structure from damage due to scour at the toe. Often a toe structure consists of rock material. Several design formulae exist to predict the amount of damage to the toe structure under wave loading. These design formulae for the required rock size include effects of the wave height and the water depth above the toe structure. Here, rock toe stability has been studied by means of physical model tests to provide information on the required rock size in the toe structure. The tests and analysis are focussed not only on the influence of the wave height and the water depth above the toe structure, but also on the influence of the width of the toe structure, the thickness of the toe and the wave steepness. The wave steepness, width of the toe and the thickness of the toe appear to affect the damage to the toe; these parameters need to be taken into account in order to derive accurate predictions of the damage to the toe structure. Based on the test results a prediction formula has been derived including these effects. The formula can be used to determine the required rock size in the toe of rubble mound breakwaters within the ranges of the performed tests. 相似文献

Total heat, salt, and other tracer masses released during a hydrothermal event are shown to be proportional to, but not necessarily equal to, volume integrals of resulting water column anomalies. Proportionality coefficients depend on anomaly definition, on background hydrographic and tracer profiles, on expansion coefficients of the equation of state at an appropriate pressure, and on tracer to heat anomaly ratios at the venting source. For Gorda Ridge event plumes, which are described in other papers of this issue, volume integrals of conventionally defined heat anomalies underestimate actual released heat by a factor of 2.4 if the discharge is not anomalously saline. Under certain combinations of hydrographic and source anomaly conditions, not unlike those found on the East Pacific Rise at 10°N, the apparent total heat released during an event can be deceivingly zero. This analysis also establishes a linear relationship between the ratio of tracer anomaly to heat anomaly at any point in the plume to the same ratio at the source. One consequence is that the ratio of anomalous 3He to heat in Gorda Ridge event plumes is approximately 2.4 larger in the water column than it is at the source. Results are independent of the entrainment process involved in event plume formation, and they are shown to hold true even for background hydrographic profiles that do not vary linearly with depth. 相似文献
