Thermally driven hydromagnetic instabilities in a non-constantly stratified layer

Summary The convection in a rapidly rotating electrically conducting, fluid horizontal layer of non-constant stratification, permeated by an inhomogeneous magnetic field, is studied. In this connection, a temperature model of the layer is constructed, which creates a structure such that part of the layer is unstably and a part stably stratified. The results obtained are applied to the conditions in the fluid Earth's core.

Behaviour of quartz gravity meters under high frequency vertical motion

Summary Tests on the vertical vibrating table in the frequency range of70–110 Hz indicate that quartz gravity meters are10–100 times more sensitive at some frequencies than under low-frequency excitation. At high frequencies, the reading beam is at rest and deflected from the correct position. Slow fluctuations of amplitude and frequency near resonance could cause slow irregular motion of the beam with absence of low-frequency ground motion of sufficient intensity.

On the problem of generalizing Gerstner's trochoidal waves in a three-dimensional case

Summary It is shown that functions, which determine the position of a particle and which represent the solution of Euler's equations of motion in Lagrange's form, can be determined quite accurately from the differential equations established in the paper.     

Seismic noise at the international gravity point in Prague-Ruzyně (Czechoslovakia)

Summary The vertical component of ground displacement was measured at the Prague - Ruzyn International Gravity Point in the frequency range of 1–300 Hz. The permanent noise, the vibrations caused by the observers during gravimetric observations and by the wind, as well as those due to normal operations at the airport, display maximum peak-to-peak amplitudes of 0.06 µm in the frequency range of 1–50 Hz; with a CG-2 gravimeter this is not detrimental to the accuracy of the observations. The taxiing of turbo-jet and jet aircraft and engine tests of aircraft generate vibrations in frequency ranges of 75–90 and 190–270 Hz. Their amplitudes, according to the results of laboratory tests published for various types of gravity meters (CG-2, GAK-PT, GVP-3, KVG), are of magnitudes which generate errors in tenths of mgl.     

Weiteres zur unmittelbaren Berechnung der durchschnittlichen Geschwindigkeit in der Reflexionsseismik

Zusammenfassung Die Anordnung der Schusspunkte I, II ...,A, B ... und der Geophone 1, 2, ...a, b ... nach Figur 1 ermöglicht — horizontalen Reflektor vorausgesetzt — bei demselben Reflexionspunkt eine gute Bestimmung der durchschnittlichen Geschwindigkeiit und des Reflektors durch Ausgleichung mit den Gleichungen (3)-(6). Die angegebenen Gleichungen können auch bei geneigtem Reflektor verwendet werden, da sogar bei 11° Neigung des Reflektors der dadurch verursachte Fehler inv undN unterhalb 0.5% bleibt. Der Reflexionspunkt wandert in diesem Falle allerdings (vgl. Figur 2) mit dem Betrag r im Sinne der Gleichung (17a) weiter.Kennt man die Neigung der Schnittgeraden in der Reflexionsebene, so kann man mit Hilfe der Gleichungen (12) und (14) die genaueren Werte vonv undN ermitteln.Zur Bestimmung des Neigungswinkels wird man vorteilhaft die Anordnung nach Figur 3 treffen, wo bei einem Schuss in I/A die Geophone in 1, 2 ...,a, b ... angeordnet sind. Aus den Messergebnissen können wir durch Ausgleichung nach den Gleichungen (23) und (24) bestimmen.Im Anhang werden Zahlenbeispiele mit praktischen Folgerungen angegeben.

Summary The system of shot points I, II, ...A, B ... and geophones 1, 2 ...a, b according to Figure 1 assures — assuming horizontal reflector — by identical reflection point an advantageous determination of the average velocity and of the reflector by adjustment with equations (3)-(6). These equations can also be used if the reflector dips, as the error caused even by a dip of 11° of the reflector inv andN does not exceed 0.5 percent. The reflection point moves, however, simultaneously (see Figure 2) with the quantily r according to equations (17a).If the dip of the intersection line in the reflection plane is known, the more precise values ofv andN can be computed with the aid of equations (12) and (14).To determine the dip , the system of Figure 3 is most convenient, where the geophons 1, 2 ...a, b ... are attached to a shot inI/A.In the appendix some numerical solutions are given and practical consequences drawn.
