Quick assessment of hazardous effects from impacts of large celestial bodies is achieved through the development of a new consequence calculator. A distinctive feature of this calculator is a new block, the Hazardous-Orbit Constructor, which simulates the conditions of entry of a celestial body into the Earth’s atmosphere and determines the orbital parameters of the body based on given atmospheric entry conditions. This block is used to simulate the atmospheric entry conditions of known asteroids and meteoroids and to determine the orbital parameters of known bolides leading to meteorite fall events. For the case of asteroid 2008 TC3 and the P?ibram meteorite, it is shown that within the potential impact area of the celestial body, the atmospheric entry angle may vary considerably. 相似文献
The development project of a prototype demonstrator for a descent vehicle and the possibilities of descent from orbit using aero-elastic braking devices deployable in space and in the atmosphere is considered. The project was carried out jointly by the Lavochkin Scientific Production Association and the Moscow Aviation Institute teams in 2013–2015. The results are evaluated for both the project itself and the cooperation of the two organizations. 相似文献
Modern star trackers are based on photodetector arrays such as CCD or CMOS arrays. The accuracy of commercially available devices is ~1–3 arcseconds. However, the development of the space industry calls for higher orientation accuracies, which are needed in laser space communications, monitoring of near-Earth space and space debris, high-precision global mapping, and remote sensing of the Earth. The problems associated with enhancing the accuracy of modern star trackers are discussed. 相似文献
In this work we study in a general view slow rotating planets as Venus or Titan which present superrotating winds in their atmospheres. We are interested in understanding what mechanisms are candidates to be sources of net angular momentum to generate this kind of dynamics. In particular, in the case of Venus, in its atmosphere around an altitude of 100 km relative to the surface, there exists winds that perform a full rotation around the planet in four terrestrial days, whereas the venusian day is equivalent to 243 terrestrial ones. This phenomenon called superrotation is known since many decades. However, its origin and behaviour is not completely understood. In this article we analise and ponderate the importance of different effects to generate this dynamics. 相似文献
The post-Newtonian approximation for general relativity is widely adopted by the geodesy and astronomy communities. It has been successfully exploited for the inclusion of relativistic effects in practically all geodetic applications and techniques such as satellite/lunar laser ranging and very long baseline interferometry. Presently, the levels of accuracy required in geodetic techniques require that reference frames, planetary and satellite orbits and signal propagation be treated within the post-Newtonian regime. For arbitrary scalar W and vector gravitational potentials \(W^j (j=1,2,3)\), we present a novel derivation of the energy associated with a test particle in the post-Newtonian regime. The integral so obtained appears not to have been given previously in the literature and is deduced through algebraic manipulation on seeking a Jacobi-like integral associated with the standard post-Newtonian equations of motion. The new integral is independently verified through a variational formulation using the post-Newtonian metric components and is subsequently verified by numerical integration of the post-Newtonian equations of motion. 相似文献
Through an oceanic mixed-layer heat budget analysis, the dominant processes contributing to the largest decay rate (− 0.37 °C/mon) in EP El Nino, the moderate delay rate (− 0.22 °C/mon) in CP El Nino and the smallest decay rate (0.13 °C/mon) in La Nina, are identified. The result shows that both dynamic (wind induced equatorial ocean waves and thermocline changes) and thermodynamic (net surface solar radiation and latent heat flux changes) processes contribute to a fast decay and thus phase transition in EP El Niño composite, whereas the thermodynamic process has less effect on the decay rate for both CP El Niño and La Niña due to the westward shift of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) centers. Thus, the difference in surface wind stress forcing is critical in contributing to evolution asymmetry between CP El Niño and La Niña, while the difference in both the wind stress and heat flux anomalies contribute to evolution asymmetry between EP El Niño and La Niña. It is interesting to note that El Nino induced anomalous anticyclone over the western North Pacific is stronger and shifts more toward the east during EP El Niño than during CP El Niño, while compared to CP El Niño, the center of an anomalous cyclone during La Niña shifts further to the west. As a consequence, both EP and CP El Niño decay fast and transform into a La Niña episode in the subsequent year, whereas La Niña has a much slower decay rate and re-develops in the second year.

To adequately describe the hydrophysical processes in water bodies with a high mineralization, it is necessary to take into
account the dependence that the thermodynamic characteristics of water have on the amount of salts contained in it. This work
investigates some widely known formulas for calculating a number of thermodynamic parameters of mineralized water. The density,
freezing temperature, specific heat of evaporation, and relative pressure of saturated vapor over the surface are considered.
The possibilities of using these formulas when modeling hydrophysical processes in water bodies with salinity in the range
of 0–250 pro mille are analyzed. It is shown that the formulas under consideration should be used when the salinity does not
exceed 100 pro mille. If the mineralization is higher, it is necessary to elaborate more suitable formulas on the basis of
an approximation of in situ data or data from handbooks. 相似文献
Some regularities that are generally accepted in the theory about the development of sea coasts as applied to the East Arctic
coast of Russia do not conform to reality. To find out the reasons for these contradictions, the connection between the coastal
processes and the perennially frozen sediment of the underwater coastal slope in the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea
was studied. The frozen state of the deposits of the coastal zone exerts a substantial influence on the coastal dynamics and
determines several features of the thermoabrasion development. In particular, the subaqual permafrost does not allow the forming
of a storm profile with dynamic balance. This fact causes the more effective action of the sea on the coastal cliffs and the
more active recession of the frozen coasts as compared with their counterparts outside the cryolitozone. 相似文献
The grain-size and mineral composition of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) of the Severnaya Dvina River mouth is studied,
as well as the content of several lithogenic elements in the SPM during the spring flood in May 2004. The data published on
the composition of the riverine SPM in the White Sea basin are very poor. The spring flood period when more than half of the
annual runoff is supplied from the river to the sea in a short time is understood more poorly. The report considers the comparison
results for the grain-size compositions of the SPM and the bottom sediments. The data of laser and hydraulic techniques of
the grain-size analysis are compared. The short-period variations of the SPM concentration and composition representing two
diurnal peaks of the tide level are studied. It is found that the SPM is mainly transferred during the spring flood as mineral
aggregates up to 40 μm diameter. The sandysilty fraction of the riverine SPM settles in the delta branches and channels, and
the bulk of the fine pelitic matter is supplied to the sea. The mineral and chemical composition of the Severnaya Dvina River
SPM is determined by the supply of substances from the drainage basin. This substance is subjected to intense mechanic separation
during the transfer to the sea. The key regularities of the formation of the mineral composition of the SPM during the flood
time are revealed. The effect of the grain-size composition of the SPM on the distribution of the minerals and elements studied
in the dynamic system of the river mouth are characterized. 相似文献
