Zum Problem der elektrischen Übertragung seismischer Impulse über grössere Entfernungen mittels Kabel

Zusammenfassung Es wird untersucht, mit welcher Verzögerung und Verformung eine in einem Induktions-Seismometer erzeugte elektrische Spannungsschwankung die Registriervorrichtung erreicht, wenn die Uebertragung durch eine Leitung erfolgt. Es werden «Verformungszahlen» definiert, mittels deren sich Leitungen verschiedenen Typs hinsichtlich der Formtreue der Uebertragung vergleichen lassen. Einige Beispiele hierfür werden behandelt. Die erforderliche Selbstinduktivität (Pupinisierung) eine freischwebenden Doppelleitung für grösstmögliche Formtreue wird angegeben. Hierbei ergibt sich z.B. für 20 km Kabellänge eine Laufzeit von der Grössenordnung einer hundertstel Sekunde.

Summary It is beeing investigated, with which retarding and deforming one in an induction-seismometer generated electrical tension-oscillation the recorderapparatus arrives, presuming the transformation has been taken by means of wire. Numbers of deforming are given, which allowes the comparison by different types of wires, regarding the true shape of the transmission. A few examples will be described. The necessary selfinduction («Pupinisierung») of a freehanging doublewire for the greatest possible true shape is named. Thereby results for instance by a cablelength of 20 km a traveltime of about 1/100 of a second.

     

Sui nuclei di condensazione di origine marittima

Riassunto Viene discussa l'obiezione fondamentale fatta daSimpson contro l'ipotesi diKöhler sulla prevalenza dei nuclei salini di origine marina. Si richiama l'attenzione sul numero molto grande di nuclei che si formano nel gorgoglìo di aria in acqua di mare e si ricordano i numeri ottenuti sperimentalmente dagli AA. in altra epoca. L'efficacia del fenomeno di spruzamento in atto nelle burrasche viene pure illustrata.

Summary The fundamental objection, opposed bySimpson against the hypothesis ofKöhler concerning the prevalency of oceanic saline condensation nuclei is discussed. Attention is attracted upon experiments proving that the bubbling, also limited, in sea water produce great number of nuclei. The efficacy of water spraying is likewise discussed.

Recent variations in the general circulation as related to glacier retreat in northern Scandinavia

Summary A review is given of the investigations on variations in the general circulation in middle latitudes made byWillett andPetterssen. According toWillett a «high-index» type of circulation pattern with a strong zonal flow has probably caused the recent climatic improvement in the northern latitudes while the «low-index» type with meridional flow would create a cooling off in the same areas. According toPetterssen an other type of «low-index» pattern with a weak zonal flow and strong meridional exchange of air has been the essential cause of the warming up of the northern latitudes in Europe. This implies that the definition of the «low-index» type is not clear and gives rise to misunderstanding. Making use of our experience on glacier retreat in northern Scandinavia it is concluded that thePetterssen type of circulation more probably than the «high-index» type has caused the warming-up in the North Atlantic area from which the retreat of the glaciers has followed.

Die geodätsiche Anwendung der Sonnenfinsternisse

Summary The recording of the contact times of a solar eclipse on two stations provides a geodetic measurement of the arc between the stations. The applications of this idea hitherto undertaken and the relevant apparature are briefly summarized. Some experiences obtained at the measuring of the records and at the computing of the results are described.     

The criterion of dynamic stability of zonal motion including the vertical shear

Summary Many writers treated on the problem of dynamic instability of westerly flow due to the excessive horizontal shear, and the present author discusses the corresponding dynamic instability due to the vertical shear. The critical vertical shear in indifferent stratification is given by the condition — the meridional component of absolute vorticity vanishes, — and is an approximate negative valueof 10^–4 sec ^–1 in middle latitude. However the critical vertical shear in normal stable stratification is a fairly large negative value of 2 sec^–1. It might be emphasized that the problem of this study differs fromRichardson's criterion of turbulence, for the present author discusses the condition under which the zonal flow is dynamically stable, whileRichardson expressed the condition under which the turbulence will decrease.
