A geomagnetic variation study of Scotland

Summary. Data from eighteen Gough—Reitzel magnetometers and four flux-gate magnetometers, which were operated in North Scotland, are presented and discussed. The coverage given by this set of instruments was not dense enough to resolve satisfactorily the complex induction anomalies in this area but some of the major features seen are described. The features observed cannot be accounted for either by oceanic induction effects or by source field effects. The Great Glen shows up as a major conductivity feature. Other effects are also observed, some apparently associated with the highly resistive granites found in this area.     

Induced magnetic field of the equatorial electrojet at the surface of the Earth

Summary. The northward component of the induced magnetic field due to the equatorial electrojet at the Earth's surface is calculated using a more realistic local time variaton of the external field due to the electrojet than is provided for by models of the electrojet currently used in induction calculations. It is seen that appreciable induction effects can be expected about an hour before local noon for the kind of local time variation considered. Our results are in qualitative agreement with direct observations of Earth currents in the equatorial region in Nigeria. At local times when observable induction effects are present, the magnetic field due to the electrojet is necessarily three-dimensional; hence in order to obtain the internal part directly from the observed total field due to the electrojet at the Earth's surface, a three-dimensional formulation is required.     

Uplift by thermal expansion of the lithosphere

Summary. If one can measure the anomalous horizontal magnetic field associated with a (locally bounded) two-dimensional conductivity anomaly, the transfer function which results from correlating the vertical with the anomalous horizontal magnetic field directly indicates the depth to an equivalent line-current. A. numerical model can be used to illustrate this. If three-dimensional effects (including current channelling) produce the current anomaly, interpretation in terms of conductive structure would be less clear. It has been claimed (Babour & Mosnier etc.) that such three-dimensional effects are experimentally observed in the highly coherent transfer functions determined from differential geomagnetic sounding experiments. These effects are, specifically, the 'linear polarization' of the anomalous fields, and the invariance of the phase of the measured anomalous field across the anomaly. It is suggested in this present paper that both these effects can be explained in terms of simple local induction models.
If the embedded two-dimensional anomaly is sufficiently close to the Earth's surface, the transfer function (between the vertical and the total horizontal field) contains more information than is usually interpreted. With this in mind, the magnetovariational data collected by Rooney & Hutton in the Kenyan Rift is re-examined.     

A study of the physics of telluric current flow at very low frequencies in the Earth's crust

Summary. Interpretation of the effects of natural electromagnetic induction is often in terms of models in which changes in resistivity at great distances from the point of measurement are not taken into account. In this paper we will try to show that this is not a valid approximation for very low-frequency telluric currents, flowing near the surface in the Earth's crust, when the material separating the crust from the mantle has a sufficiently high electrical resistance. In this case the shape and dimensions of the circuit, as well as the resistivity distribution along the whole length of the path followed by the currents, play a part in determining the induced electromagnetic field. A number of experimentally verifiable consequences follow from this.     

Separation of local and regional information in distorted GDS response functions by hypothetical event analysis

Electromagnetic investigations are usually intended to examine regional structures where induction takes place at a given period range. However, the regional information is often distorted by galvanic effects at local conductivity boundaries. Bahr (1985) and Groom & Bailey (1989) developed a physical distortion model for decomposing the MT impedance tensor, based upon local galvanic distortion of a regional 2-D electromagnetic field. We have extended their method to predict the magnetic variation fields created at an array of sites. The magnetic response functions at periods around 1000 s may be distorted by large-scale inhomogeneities in the upper or middle crust. In this period range, the data measured by a magnetometer array contain common information that can be extracted if the data set is treated as a unit, for example by using hypothetical event analysis. With this technique it is always possible to recover the regional strike direction from distorted data, even if a strong, spatially varying regional vertical field component is present in the data set. The determination of the regional impedance phases, on the other hand, is far more sensitive to deviations from the physical distortion model.
The approach has been used to investigate the Iapetus data set. For the array, which covers an area of 200  km × 300  km in northern England/southern Scotland, the technique revealed a common regional strike azimuth of ca . N125° E in the period range 500–2000  s. This direction differs from the strike indicated by the induction arrows, which seem influenced mainly by local current concentrations along the east–west-striking Northumberland Trough and a NE–SW-striking mid-crustal conductor. Both impedance phases are positive and differ by ca . 10°, which supports the assumptions of distortion fields in the data set and that the regional structure is 2-D.

Robust estimation of geomagnetic transfer functions

Summary. We show, through an examination of residuals, that all of the statistical assumptions usually used in estimating transfer functions for geomagnetic induction data fail at periods from 5 min to several hours at geomagnetic mid-latitudes. This failure can be traced to the finite spatial scale of many sources. In the past, workers have tried to deal with this problem by hand selecting data segments thought to be free of source effects. We propose an automatic robust analysis scheme which accounts for the systematic increase of errors with increasing power and which automatically downweights source contaminated outliers. We demonstrate that, in contrast to ordinary least squares, this automatic procedure consistently yields reliable transfer function estimates with realistic errors.     

Three-dimensional induction in a non-uniform thin sheet at the surface of a uniformly conducting earth

Summary. A new method for solving problems in three-dimensional electromagnetic induction in which the Earth is represented by a uniformly conducting half-space overlain by a surface layer of variable conductance is presented. Unlike previous treatments of this type of problem the method does not require the fields to be separated into their normal and anomalous parts, nor is it necessary to assume that the anomalous region is surrounded by a uniform structure; the model may approach either an E- or a B -polarization configuration at infinity. The solution is expressed as a vector integral equation in the horizontal electric field at the surface. The kernel of the integral is a Green's tensor which is expressed in terms of elementary functions that are independent of the conductance. The method is applied to an illustrative model representing an island near a bent coastline which extends to infinity in perpendicular directions.     

Spectral-finite-element approach to two-dimensional electromagnetic induction in a spherical earth

We present a spectral-finite-element approach to the 2-D forward problem for electromagnetic induction in a spherical earth. It represents an alternative to a variety of numerical methods for 2-D global electromagnetic modelling introduced recently (e.g. the perturbation expansion approach, the finite difference scheme). It may be used to estimate the effect of a possible axisymmetric structure of electrical conductivity of the mantle on surface observations, or it may serve as a tool for testing methods and codes for 3-D global electromagnetic modelling. The ultimate goal of these electromagnetic studies is to learn about the Earth's 3-D electrical structure.
Since the spectral-finite-element approach comes from the variational formulation, we formulate the 2-D electromagnetic induction problem in a variational sense. The boundary data used in this formulation consist of the horizontal components of the total magnetic intensity measured on the Earth's surface. In this the variational approach differs from other methods, which usually use spherical harmonic coefficients of external magnetic sources as input data. We verify the assumptions of the Lax-Milgram theorem and show that the variational solution exists and is unique. The spectral-finite-element approach then means that the problem is parametrized by spherical harmonics in the angular direction, whereas finite elements span the radial direction. The solution is searched for by the Galerkin method, which leads to the solving of a system of linear algebraic equations. The method and code have been tested for Everett & Schultz's (1995) model of two eccentrically nested spheres, and good agreement has been obtained.     

Bimodal electromagnetic induction in non-uniform thin sheets with an application to the northern Pyrenean induction anomaly

In order to handle the distortion of large-scale induced electric currents by local conductivity anomalies, the problem of electromagnetic induction in non-uniform thin sheets has been reformulated in terms of an integral equation over the anomalous domain. This formulation considers in the layered substratum in addition to toroidal currents also the poloidal current mode (vertical current loops), at the expense that two scalar functions have to be determined. Simple formulas for the required kernels are derived. The algorithm is applied to model the gross features of the northern Pyrenean induction anomaly. It is suggested that this pronounced anomaly results from a conductive channel between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

E-polarization induction in two thin half-sheets

Summary. An analytical solution is obtained for the E-polarization problem of electromagnetic induction in two adjacent half-sheets underlain by a uniform conducting half-space. In this mode the inducing magnetic field is assumed horizontal, uniform and perpendicular to the discontinuity. The same model was previously solved under B-polarization by Dawson & Weaver. The present solution then completes the study of two-dimensional induction in the described model. Further, it extends both the analytic E-polarization solution of Weidelt by the inclusion of an underlying conductor and that of Raval, Weaver & Dawson by the inclusion of arbitrary conductance values for the two surface sheets. The solution may be used as an idealized model of the coast effect and allows detailed study of the field behaviour near the discontinuity. The horizontal magnetic field on each side of the surface layer has a finite jump discontinuity at the interface and the vertical magnetic field exhibits a logarithmic singularity there. If the right-hand conductance (say) becomes infinite, the horizontal magnetic field exhibits an algebraic singularity as the coastline is approached from the right, while the vertical magnetic field does likewise from the left. Calculations are presented for the same two models as discussed in B-polarization by Dawson & Weaver and the results are compared to values obtained from a more general numerical scheme. The electric current distribution inside the conducting half-space is depicted for the second model.     

Measurements of the Natural Remanent Magnetism and Anisotropy of Susceptibility of some Swedish Glacial Silts

Summary. This paper describes the results of measurements of the magnetic remanence and anisotropy of susceptibility of some Swedish varved silts. An attempt has been made to observe in nature the effects, which have been demonstrated in the laboratory, of water currents on these properties and to obtain new data on the effects of slopes on the direction of remanence.
It was not possible to obtain quantitative confirmation of the effects of water currents though it is shown that the field results fit qualitatively with those from the laboratory and that the effects of currents may in favourable circumstances be neglected or corrected for. By combining the new data on the effects of slopes with those previously published it has been found possible to demonstrate the importance of grain size in determining the magnitude of the bedding error correction and an expression has been found which gives this correction to an accuracy comparable with the error of measurement of remanence direction.
It is concluded that, since all known systematic deviations of the remanence direction may now be corrected for, it should be possible, in suitable circumstances, to obtain reliable estimates of field directions over the last 10,000 years from measurements on the Swedish varves.

快速城市化中耕地非农化的社会学解析——以江苏省为例

为探讨土地资源社会价值内涵及其定量分析方法,揭示区域土地利用变化的社会驱动机理,采用文献分析和归纳演绎等方法开展研究,结果表明:土地资源社会功能包括土地资源的权属关系、土地利用管理模式、土地资源的社会稳定与社会保障等方面;采用耕地安全指数、粮食安全指数及劳动力流转指数可进行土地资源社会价值的定量化研究;目前,我国在土地利用管理中存在着国家一省(市)一农户三级管理体制,由于它们价值标准不同,从而产生不同的行动准则,这是当前耕地流失的主要原因之一.因此,农户土地利用活动很难自发杜绝耕地流失,必须借助于政府的土地利用规划、管理与宏观监控手段.最后,尝试构建了耕地非农化的多层推拉概念模型.     

基于Internet与GIS的全球禽流感时空动态分析

全球禽流感的爆发具有年际尺度的周期性,且周期缩短、频率加快、危害增强,这种趋势与生态环境恶化有关;2003年以来全球禽流感的年内活动具有明显的季节性,多集中在秋末冬初和冬末春初,季节交替、气温变化剧烈是禽流感的诱发因素;通过对2000年以前和2003年以来禽流感发生地的制图研究,发现全球禽流感集中分布在从西欧、地中海、经西亚到东南亚再到拉丁美洲的弧形环带上,这里海陆交互作用强烈、飞禽和水禽活动集中,人类活动排放的某些化学毒物是病毒变异的诱因;将近年来全球禽流感时空分布与候鸟迁徙路线相比较,发现在亚欧非“世界岛”上的8条路线具有良好的对应关系,候鸟迁徙应是禽流感全球传播的重要途径。

Geomagnetic induction in a heterogeneous sphere: fully three-dimensional test computations and the response of a realistic distribution of oceans and continents

Long-period geomagnetic data can resolve large-scale 3-D mantle electrical conductivity heterogeneities which are indicators of physiochemical variations found in the Earth's dynamic mantle. A prerequisite for mapping such heterogeneity is the ability to model accurately electromagnetic induction in a heterogeneous sphere. A previously developed finite element method solution to the geomagnetic induction problem is validated against an analytic solution for a fully 3-D geometry: an off-axis spherical inclusion embedded in a uniform sphere. Geomagnetic induction is then modelled in a uniform spherical mantle overlain by a realistic distribution of oceanic and continental conductances. Our results indicate that the contrast in electrical conductivity between oceans and continents is not primarily responsible for the observed geographic variability of long-period geomagnetic data. In the absence of persistent high-wavenumber magnetospheric disturbances, this argues strongly for the existence of large-scale, high-contrast electrical conductivity heterogeneities in the mid-mantle. Lastly, for several periods the geomagnetic anomaly associated with a mid-mantle spherical inclusion is calculated. A high-contrast inclusion can be readily detected beneath the outer shell of oceans and continents. A comparison between observed and computed c responses suggests that the mid-mantle contains more than one order of magnitude of lateral variability in electrical conductivity, while the upper mantle contains at least two orders of magnitude of lateral variability in electrical conductivity.
