We report a detailed examination about the relationship between the evolution of the Hα flare ribbons and the released magnetic
energy during the April 10 2001 flare. In the Hα images, several bright kernels are observed in the flare ribbons. We identified
the conjugated foot-points, by analyzing the lightcurves at each Hα kernels, and showed their connectivities during the flare.
Then, based on the magnetic reconnection model, we calculated quantitatively the released energy by using the photospheric
magnetic field strengths and separation speeds of the Hα flare ribbons. Finally, we examined the downward motions which are
observed at the Hα kernels. We found that the stronger the red-asymmetry tends to be associated with the brighter the Hα kernel. 相似文献
We report results from multiwavelength observations of the microquasarGRS 1915+105 performed during the 2000 April campaign. This is one ofthe biggest campaigns ever made for this source covering the broadband from radio to γ-rays. Multiwavelength light curves compiledfrom all the data reduced up to date and broad band spectra obtainedwith ASCA and RXTE are presented. 相似文献

The local surface deformation resulting from the oblique impact of a columnar water jet has been computed, using a three-dimensional large eddy simulation, as a model of the overturning jet of a breaking wave. The emergence of the secondary jet from the front face of the initial jet has been examined and the organisation of the vortices within the jet characterised. As the secondary jet emerges, the vorticity field becomes unstable under the action of the strong shear beneath the jet surface and pairs of longitudinal counter-rotating vortices stretched along the direction of the jet projection are formed. The presence of these longitudinal vortex pairs creates convergent surface flows, resulting in the formation of longitudinal scars on the rear face of the projecting jet. Following significant growth of the scars on both its upper and lower surfaces, the jet decouples into fingers. The lateral widths of the longitudinal vortices provide a minimum measure of the finger size. A horizontal Froude number Frh, representing a measure of strength of horizontal shear in a gravity-dominated impacting flow is defined, which characterises the organisation of the longitudinal vortices occurring in the shear flow, and the resultant formation of scars and fingers. For higher Frh, stronger longitudinal vortices and deeper scars are formed at longer lateral intervals, enhancing the fingering process during the splashing event. Fundamental features of material transport in the vicinity of the surface of jets (e.g. gas transfer across a sea surface) are related to the entrainment of surface fluid by the longitudinal vortices, and is thus also characterised by Frh. 相似文献
In this study, a numerical model of 7-day forecast of sea ice produced by the Japan Meteorological Agency was improved by
the following approaches. First, a new ice dynamic model was introduced: the distributed mass/discrete floe model. The model
takes account of discrete characteristics of ice floes and well simulates the ice edge location at low computational cost.
Secondly, the grid size was reduced to 5 × 5 km for the future high resolution forecasts. Next, the sea surface current data
was examined because it significantly influences sea ice movement. We applied two new datasets of HINO and Okhotsk Ocean General
Circulation Model (Okhotsk OGCM), which are estimated by numerical simulations, for the 7-day forecast of sea ice. Ice southward
speed in January and the whorl formations in February and March were well reproduced with Okhotsk OGCM datasets. Finally,
the ocean heat flux at the ice-ocean interface was refined. As a result, we achieved an ice edge error reduction from 30.8
km to 23.5 km. 相似文献
Sensitivity study of the air–ice drag coefficient CDai is presented with an ice–ocean coupled model for the Sea of Okhotsk. The CDai?×?103 value is varied from 2 to 5 based on the direct measurements in the region. The maximum volume transport of the East Sakhalin Current and the mean sea ice velocity were intensified as CDai increased. The sensitivity experiment with the ice–water drag coefficient CDiw showed that the East Sakhalin Current volume transport is hardly affected by CDiw but significantly intensified by CDai. While the ice drift in the off-ice-edge direction was intensified by the increase in CDai and the decrease in CDiw, the ice edge location was nearly unchanged. This was due to melting caused by the relatively warm water inflow from the North Pacific. That is, sea ice extent in the region is strongly influenced by melting caused by a large ice–ocean heat transfer. In the active melting regions, the ice–ocean heat transfer of more than 100 W/m2 occurred even in mid-winter. This is the same order as the cooling by air in winter, and a heat insulation capacity of sea ice is weakened in such regions. 相似文献
This study investigates the inertial stability properties and phase error of numerical time integration schemes in several widely-used ocean and atmospheric models. These schemes include the most widely used centered differencing (i.e., leapfrog scheme or the 3-time step scheme at n-1, n, n+1) and 2-time step (n, n+1) 1st-order Euler forward schemes, as well as 2nd-stage and 3rd- and 4th-stage Euler predictor-corrector (PC) schemes. Previous work has proved that the leapfrog scheme is neutrally stable with respect to the Coriolis force, with perfect inertial motion preservation, an amplification factor (AF) equal to unity, and a minor overestimation of the phase speed. The 1st-order Euler forward scheme, on the other hand, is known to be unconditionally inertially unstable since its AF is always greater than unity. In this study, it is shown that 3rd- and 4th-order predictor-corrector schemes 1) are inertially stable with weak damping if the Coriolis terms are equally split to n+1 (new value) and n (old value); and 2) introduce an artificial computational mode. The inevitable phase error associated with the Coriolis parameter is analyzed in depth for all numerical schemes. Some schemes (leapfrog and 2nd-stage PC schemes) overestimate the phase speed, while the others (1st-order Euler forward, 3rd- and 4th-stage PC schemes) underestimate it. To preserve phase speed as best as possible in a numerical model, alternating a scheme that overestimates the phase speed with a scheme that underestimates the phase speed is recommended. Considering all properties investigated, the leapfrog scheme is still highly recommended for a time integration scheme. As an example, a comparison between a leapfrog scheme and a 1st-order Euler forward scheme is presented to show that the leapfrog scheme reproduces much better vertical thermal stratification and circulation in the weakly-stratified Great Lakes.
