Bouchet in 1963 hypothesized that for large homogeneous land surface with minimum advection of heat and moisture, there exists
a 1:1 complementary relationship of potential and actual evaporation coupled through land-atmosphere feedbacks. The complementary
relationship has been widely used to estimate regional actual evaporation and explain the pan evaporation paradox. We examine
the standardized potential evaporation (potential evaporation divided by wet environment evaporation) at 102 observatories
at different elevations across China. Generally, the relationship is appropriate at the low elevations (<1000 m). With the
increase of elevation, vapor transfer power becomes much less than radiation energy budget because of lower vapor pressure
deficit and stronger global solar radiation. As a result, at the high elevations (over 1000 m), the excess energy resulted
by limited moisture availability is not enough to be converted into drying power of the air. This result suggests that the
complementary relationship is asymmetric at the high elevations.

This paper considers the possibilities for modernizing the KSESh broadband seismic station developed earlier at the IPE AS USSR. The goal of the modernization was to extend the frequency and dynamic ranges and to decrease nonlinear distortions. The ways and concrete methods for improving the mechanical construction and electronic components of the station are shown and the intermediate results are described. As preliminary estimates show, there is an opportunity to build devices with the velocimeter response up to 520–540 s periods on the basis of this pendulum. 相似文献
Magnetotelluric soundings are frequently carried out on a single profile or on profiles remote from each other. Interpretation
of the obtained data is difficult in the presence of spatially heterogeneous geoelectric structures. We evaluate its capabilities
on the basis of the synthetic data, that correspond to a geoelectric model, which consists of a three-layered section in the
background and three rectangular prisms, differently arranged relative to the profile. Using the simple methods of analysis
of magnetotelluric data, we succeeded in allocating all three heterogeneities over the area that surrounds the profile of
observations. As a result of the fast smoothed-structure 1D and 2D inversion of different components of data, taking into
account their specific features, the depths of the occurrence of anomalies and the order of the values of their electrical
resistivity were evaluated, and the background section was also reconstructed. On this basis, and, also, with the use of a
priori geological-geophysical information, the construction of a 3D model in a more or less broad band around the profile
and its correction with the aid of 3D data inversion are possible. 相似文献
