Über die Erzeugung großräumiger homogener Magnetfelder zum Studium des Verhaltens von Magnetkompassen und Kompensiermitteln auf verschiedenen magnetischen Breiten

Zusammenfassung Zur Herstellung schwacher, homogener Magnetfelder wird die Verwendung quadratförmiger Rahmenspulen vorgeschlagen, die gegenüber gleich großen Kreisringspulen den Vorteil einer größeren Homogenität des Feldes bieten. Es wird die Feldverteilung auf der Achse und in der Ebene einer Quadratspule angegeben. Für die Kombination von zwei Quadratspulen wird die Ermittlung eines optimalen Spulenabstandes gezeigt für die Fälle, daß entweder größte lineare Ausdehnung des homogenen Bereichs auf der Feldachse oder größte flächenhafte Ausdehnung in der Mittelebene des Feldes gefordert wird. Im Helmholtzfall, für den der Abstand der Quadratspulen zum 0,5445fachen der Kantenlänge berechnet wird, erweist sich der räumliche Bereich mit 1 % Feldstärkeabweichung gegen den Feldmittelpunkt um rund 72 % größer als bei einer gleich großen Helmholtzspule der üblichen Form.

On the production of uniform magnetic fields of great volume for studying the behaviour of magnetic compasses and adjusting devices in different magnetic latitudes

Summary For the production of weak uniform magnetic fields it is proposed to use square frame coils which in contrast to circular coils of the same size offer the advantage of a greater field homogeneity. The field distribution on the axis and in the plane of a square coil is indicated. For the use of two combined square coils the determination of the optimum coil separation is given for the cases that there should either be required greatest linear extension of the uniform range on the axis or greatest homogeneous area in the median plane of the field. In the Helmholtz case, for which the separation between the square coils is calculated to the 0,5445th part of the edge's lenght the volume with 1 %deviation from the field intensity in the centre is by 72 % larger than that of a usual Helmholtz coil of the same size.

Sur la production des champs magnétiques homogènes de grand volume pour l'étude du comportement des compas magnétiques et des dispositifs de réglage par différentes latitudes magnétiques

Résumé Pour pouvoir produire des champs magnétiques faibles et homogènes on propose d'employer des bobines à cadres carrés qui en comparaison avec des bobines annulaires de la même grandeur offrent l'avantage d'une homogénéité supérieure du champ magnétique. La distribution du champ sur l'axe et dans le plan d'une bobine à cadre carré est indiquée. Pour l'emploi de deux bobines combinées à cadres carrés on montre de quelle manière on peut déterminer la distance optimale pour les cas où il est nécessaire de demander de la plus grande extension linéaire de la région homogène sur l'axe du champ ou de la plus grande aire homogène dans le plan central. En cas des bobines Helmholtz dont la distance pour des bobines à cadres carrés a été déterminé à la 0,5445^e partie de la longueur de l'arête, le volume homogène avec une déviation de 1 % de l'intensité en comparaison avec l'intensité du centre du champ dépasse de 72 % le volume d'une bobine Helmholtz de la même grandeur et du type usuel.

Towards understanding paleosols in Southern Levantine eolianites: Integration of micromorphology, environmental magnetism and mineralogy

The paper addresses the controversial question of the role of clay-sized dust in the formation of paleosols in coastal eolianites, Israel. At the Habonim type section, the pedocomplex dated by archaeology and luminescence to 45-135 ka ago shows at least three paleosols, not separated by non-soil sediments. The oldest reddish paleosol （apparently related to MIS 5） is magnetically enhanced, leached from carbonates, with signs of bioturbation and strongly aged clay coatings. The reddening is due to very fine, -20 nm, poorly crystallized, superparamagnetic （SP） hematite, as determined by Mossbauer studies. In subsoil, lithorelics of eolianite are found. Over time, the soil surface aggraded due to accelerated fine dust accumulation alongside local slope wash. On younger materials formed magnetically depleted vertisols, dominated by smectite-type expandable paramagnetic clays. In thin sections, vertisols exhibit strong stipple-speckled and striated b-fabric due to shrink-swell processes, impregnative calcite nodules and Fe-Mn redistribution. The uppermost hydric vertisol shows the strongest expression of juxtaposed features of recurrent calcite and Fe precipitation. This paleosol developed on colluvial soil materials, as evidenced by mixing of clay coated and uncoated grains of quartz and calcite allochems. M6ssbauer spectra show high amounts of Fe（III） incorporated in the clay structure, low amounts of SP goethite and absence of SP hematite. Whilst magnetic susceptibility drops in vertisols to minimal values, increase. The latter along ferrimagnetie grain sizes with differences in the hierarchy of microfabric features is taken as indication for lithologic discontinuities which may have resulted from continuous, albeit variable and low-intensity, input of eolian clay from both remote Saharan and local sources, roughly dated to the earlier to middle part of the Last Glacial.

Comparison of satellite- and ground-based NDVI above different land-use types

In order to evaluate the use of satellite (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer: MODIS) and ground-measured (hyperspectral spectrometer and broadband micrometeorological sensors) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), this study compares NDVI derived from five experimental (FLUXNET) field sites (grassland, winter wheat, corn, spruce, and beech) in Germany in June 2006 and April-September 2007. In addition, the spatial variability of ground radiation measured within one specific land-use class (for grass and winter wheat) was investigated to analyze the accuracy of the FLUXNET tower values. Furthermore, the angular dependence of spectrometer values on viewing angles was determined in order to enhance the spatial representativeness of spectrometer measurements which, especially above trees, are affected by soil parts and the tower structure when measured in nadir. The best agreement between the satellite- and ground-measured NDVI was found for winter wheat (2006) with values from 0.79–0.88 followed by grass (2006), showing NDVI values between 0.71 and 0.86. The spatial variability of NDVI within one land-use type was lower than the differences caused by the different NDVI determination methods. Above more open canopies (corn, beech), spectrometer measurements with 60° viewing angle in solar plane direction were found to better correspond to satellite-derived NDVI. Together with broadband NDVI, our ground-based results can complement satellite-derived NDVI.     

2006年4月17日北京降尘的粒度分布与磁学特征

对2006年4月17日北京降尘的粒度和磁学性质进行深入分析,提出降尘磁化率相对黄土样品较高是现代降尘磁化率的特点,源区表土磁化率普遍较高是本次降尘磁化率值高的主要原因,污染产生的磁性物质对其也有一定的影响。同时通过对比几次降尘的粒度特征和传输方式提出粒度可以有效地指示源区的变化。结合降尘的粒度、磁化率分析与沙尘暴的监测信息和卫星云图,认为此次降尘粒度为0.8～20.0μm的组分可能是来自内蒙古西部的物质;20～70μm与>70μm的组分可能是来自距离北京较近的河北北部和内蒙古中部发生强烈沙尘暴的地区。
