The Krafla rifting episode, which occurred in North Iceland in 1975–1984, was followed by inflation of a shallow magma chamber until 1989. At that time, gradual subsidence began above the magma chamber and has continued to the present at a declining rate. Pressure decrease in a shallow magma chamber is not the only source of deformation at Krafla, as other deformation processes are driven by exploitation of two geothermal fields, together with plate spreading. In addition, deep-seated magma accumulation appears to take place, with its centre ∼ 10 km north of the Krafla caldera. The relative strength of these sources has varied with time. New results from a levelling survey and GPS measurements in 2005 allow an updated view on the deformation field. Deformation rates spanning 2000–2005 are the lowest recorded in the 30-year history of geodetic studies at the volcano. The inferred rate of 2000–2005 subsidence related to processes in the shallow magma chamber is less than 0.3 cm/yr whereas it was ∼ 5 cm/yr in 1989–1992. Currently, the highest rate of subsidence takes place in the Leirbotnar area, within the Krafla caldera, and appears to be a result of geothermal exploitation. 相似文献
We present an explicit analytic solution for steady, two-dimensional ground water flow to a well near a leaky streambed that penetrates the aquifer partially. Leakage from the stream is approximated as occurring along the centerline of the stream. The problem domain is infinite and pumping on one side of the stream induces flow on the other side. The solution includes the effects of uniform flow in the far field and a sloping hydraulic head in the stream. We use the solution to investigate the interaction between ground water and surface water in the stream, the effects of pumping on the opposite side of the stream, and the effects of the leaky streambed on the capture zone envelope of the well. We develop a relationship between parameters such that the pumping well will not capture water from the stream, or from the opposite side of the stream. When the discharge of the well is large enough to capture water from the stream, the shape of the capture zone envelope depends on flow conditions on the side of the stream opposite the well. 相似文献
Stability and grid dispersion in the P-SV 4th-order in space, 2nd-order in time, displacement-stress staggered-grid finite-difference scheme is investigated in the case of a homogeneous unbounded medium. All results, however, also apply to the velocity-stress and displacement- velocity-stress finite-difference schemes.Independent stability conditions for the P and S waves are obtained by exact separation of equations for the two types of waves.Since the S-wave group velocity can differ from the actual velocity as much as 5% for the sampling ratio 1/5, commonly used in numerical modelling, the sampling of the minimum S wavelength by 6 grid spacings (with the velocity difference not larger than 2.5%) is recommended.Grid dispersion is strongest for a wave propagating in a direction of a coordinate axis and weakest for a wave propagating along a plane diagonal.Grid dispersion in the 4th-order scheme for the sampling ratios s = 1/5 and s = 1/6 is smaller than grid dispersion in the 2nd-order scheme for s = 1/10 and s = 1/12, respectively.相似文献
In order to achieve to GPS solutions of first-order accuracy and integrity, carrier phase observations as well as pseudorange
observations have to be adjusted with respect to a linear/linearized model. Here the problem of mixed integer-real valued
parameter adjustment (IRA) is met. Indeed, integer cycle ambiguity unknowns have to be estimated and tested. At first we review
the three concepts to deal with IRA: (i) DDD or triple difference observations are produced by a properly chosen difference
operator and choice of basis, namely being free of integer-valued unknowns (ii) The real-valued unknown parameters are eliminated
by a Gauss elimination step while the remaining integer-valued unknown parameters (initial cycle ambiguities) are determined
by Quadratic Programming and (iii) a RA substitute model is firstly implemented (real-valued estimates of initial cycle ambiguities)
and secondly a minimum distance map is designed which operates on the real-valued approximation of integers with respect to
the integer data in a lattice. This is the place where the integer Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization by means of the LLL algorithm (modified LLL algorithm) is applied being illustrated by four examples. In particular, we prove
that in general it is impossible to transform an oblique base of a lattice to an orthogonal base by Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization where its matrix enties are integer. The volume preserving Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization operator constraint to integer entries produces “almost orthogonal” bases which, in turn, can be used to produce the integer-valued
unknown parameters (initial cycle ambiguities) from the LLL algorithm (modified LLL algorithm). Systematic errors generated
by “almost orthogonal” lattice bases are quantified by A. K. Lenstra et al. (1982) as well as M. Pohst (1987). The solution point of Integer Least Squares generated by the LLL algorithm is = (L')−1[L'◯] ∈ ℤm where L is the lower triangular Gram-Schmidt matrix rounded to nearest integers, [L], and = [L'◯] are the nearest integers of L'◯, ◯ being the real valued approximation of z ∈ ℤm, the m-dimensional lattice space Λ. Indeed due to “almost orthogonality” of the integer Gram-Schmidt procedure, the solution point is only suboptimal, only close to “least squares.” ? 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The influence of bottom water anoxia on manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and sulfur (S) biogeochemistry was examined in defaunated sandy sediment from Kærby Fed, Denmark, under controlled laboratory incubations. The initial narrow peaks and steep gradients in solid Mn(IV) and Fe(III) as well as porewater Mn2+ and Fe2+ observed in the upper 2–5 cm of the sediment indicate rapid metal reduction-oxidation cycles under oxic conditions in the overlying water. The fe zones were generally displaced about 0.5 cm downward compared with the Mn zones due to differences in reactivity. Mn(IV) was reduced and gradually disappeared first (within 10 d) when the sediment was exposed to anoxia followed by reduction and disappearance of Fe(III) (day 7 to 18). The associated loss of Mn2+ to the overlying water was most rapid during the first 15 d, whereas the Fe2+ efflux initiated around day 10, and after a few days with modest rates the efflux peaked around day 20. A considerable portion of the total Mn (26%) and Fe (23%) inventory initially present in the sediment was lost by efflux after about 1 mo of anoxia. The ability of the sediment to retain upward diffusion of H2S gradually disappeared in a temporal pattern closely related to the changes in pool size of the reactive Mn and Fe present. The total metal pool in Kærby Fed sediment prevented H2S release to the overlying water for at least a month of anoxia. It is speculated that external supplies from the overlying water allows a rapid refuelling of surface Mn and Fe oxides in the field when oxic conditions returns between periods of anoxia. 相似文献
P4P is the pseudo-ranging 4-point problem as it appears as the basic configuration of satellite positioning with pseudo-ranges
as observables. In order to determine the ground receiver/satellite receiver (LEO networks) position from four positions of
satellite transmitters given, a system of four nonlinear (algebraic) equations has to be solved. The solution point is the
intersection of four spherical cones if the ground receiver/satellite receiver clock bias is implemented as an unknown. Here
we determine the critical configuration manifold (Determinantal Loci, Inverse Function Theorem, Jacobi map) where no solution
of P4P exists. Four examples demonstrate the critical linear manifold. The algorithm GS solves in a closed form P4P in a manner
similar to Groebner bases: The algebraic nonlinear observational equations are reduced in the forward step to one quadratic
equation in the clock bias unknown. In the backward step two solutions of the position unknowns are generated in closed form.
Prior information in P4P has to be implemented in order to decide which solution is acceptable. Finally, the main target of
our contribution is formulated: Can we identify a special configuration of satellite transmitters and ground receiver/satellite
receiver where the two solutions are reduced to one. A special geometric analysis of the discriminant solves this problem.

Some Bayesian methods of dealing with inaccurate or vague data are introduced in the framework of seismic hazard assessment. Inaccurate data affected by heterogeneous errors are modeled by a probability distribution instead of the usual value plus a random error representation; these data are generically called imprecise. The earthquake size and the number of events in a certain time are modeled as imprecise data. Imprecise data allow us to introduce into the estimation procedures the uncertainty inherent in the inaccuracy and heterogeneity of the measuring systems from which the data were obtained. The problem of estimating the parameter of a Poisson process is shown to be feasible by the use of Bayesian techniques and imprecise data. This background technique can be applied to a general problem of seismic hazard estimation. Initially, data in a regional earthquake catalog are assumed imprecise both in size and location (i.e errors in the epicenter or spreading over a given source). By means of scattered attenuation laws, the regional catalog can be translated into a so-called site catalog of imprecise events. The site catalog is then used to estimate return periods or occurrence probabilities, taking into account all sources of uncertainty. Special attention is paid to priors in the Bayesian estimation. They can be used to introduce additional information as well as scattered frequency-size laws for local events. A simple example is presented to illustrate the capabilities of this methodology. 相似文献
How societies organize themselves to respond to cascading impacts exacerbated by climate change will help define the future of disaster planning, mitigation, response, and recovery. Current emergency management risk analyses focus on identifying a broad array of threats and hazards that may affect an area. However, there is limited attention and understanding of the totality of hazard impacts, the relationship of consequences across disasters, and the dangers of not addressing critical capabilities necessary to rapidly managing consequences—including the potential to create new incidents within incidents. Through a focused review of the related literature and guiding policy documents, this study aims to provide a cascading consequence-based framework that can support emergency managers in the analysis of their jurisdictional risks, development of emergency operations plans, and decision-making. Results include the identification of an alternative framework to identify cascading networks, the creation of a supplementary model for downstream risk assessment, and refined Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis (THIRA) outputs for improved grant allocation. The proposed framework has the potential to help organizations factor both conspicuous and downstream consequences into their Emergency Operations Plans in the planning and mitigations phases. This proposed refinement, which looks deeper into the progression of a disaster, has both national and international implications.
