Segmentation of soil roughness profiles

A robust and flexible algorithm to study spatial series like soil roughness profile has been introduced. It avoids using classic spectral analysis, considers the profile first and foremost as non-stationary and makes it possible to identify the separate domains inside the profile where chosen statistical parameters and roughness indexes have their own value. The method analyses a roughness profile considering it as an assemblage of several entities that may differ in terms of statistical properties and length, without establishing constraints as to number and extension. The method derives the variability of statistical and roughness properties along the profile and extracts the possible components - random and oriented - detectable inside the sample. Some examples of application illustrate the possibility offered by the method to study real roughness profiles recorded in the field by a portable laser microprofilometer. The procedure proposed allows the investigation of local roughness properties with varying degrees of accuracy and should be useful to monitor the differential evolution of roughness on patterned soil surface, increasing the overall information content. A general definition of ‘ordered roughness’ is introduced. The definition proposed seems more suited to current techniques for the numerical treatment of digital profiles and for the existing physical relationships between the scale of observation of roughness and the scale of the process investigated (hydraulic resistance, water storage in depressions).

Estimating the geostrophic velocity obtained by HF radar observations in the upstream area of the Kuroshio

A method to extract geostrophic current in the daily mean HF radar data in the Kuroshio upstream region is established by comparison with geostrophic velocity determined from the along-track altimetry data. The estimated Ekman current in the HF velocity is 1.2% (1.5%) and 48° (38°)-clockwise rotated with respect to the daily mean wind in (outside) the Kuroshio. Furthermore, additional temporal smoothing is found necessary to remove residual ageostrophic currents such as the inertial oscillation. After removal of the ageostrophic components, the HF geostrophic velocity agrees well with that from the altimetry data with rms difference 0.14 (0.12) m/s in (outside) the Kuroshio.

Rock magnetic properties and palaeomagnetic results of sediments from a stone implement layer in the Bose Basin,Guangxi

Directional samples were taken to study rock magnetism and palaeomagnetic records from the Dong- sheng profile, which is 5 m thick and on the northwest edge of the Bose Basin. Mineralogy and rock magnetism of typical samples indicate that coarse granular titanomagnetite, and fine-grained hematite, superparamagnetic maghemite formed by pedogenesis are in the sediment, which has undergone many transformative processes during different stages of pedogenesis. Parallel samples were taken for thermal demagnetization (TH) (0 to 680℃) and alternating field (AF) demagnetization (0 to 80 mT) respectively. Experimental results of these two kinds of demagnetization illustrate that there are two or more magnetic components in the samples. Intensity of NRM decreases by almost 60% to 90% rapidly when the temperature ranges from 100℃ to 350℃, with a steady magnetic component. It is impossible to analyze the magnetic components at high temperature because those fluctuate widely when the temperature is higher than 400℃. Steady magnetic components from 100℃ to 350℃ indicate that the remanence was mainly carried by fine-grained hematite formed by pedogenesis, reflecting a change in the geomagnetic field while the magnetite was being oxidized into hematite by chemical weathering after deposition. The formative age of the sediments cannot be obtained by magnetic methods in this profile.     

秦岭和华北地区地壳低速层的成因探讨──岩石高温高压波速实验证据

对秦岭和华北地区地壳主要岩类１３８个样品进行高温高压实验,测量其纵波速度的结果表明,其中５４个样品出现了纵波低速现象．对出现该现象的样品的实验产物所做的肉眼和镜下观察、电子探针分析以及综合对比显示,微裂隙不是产生低速现象的决定因素,而主要是含水矿物（角闪石、黑云母等）的脱水相交和由之引发的岩石部分熔融导致岩石出现纵波低速现象．通过实验条件与中、下地壳的温度和压力等条件的类比揭示,秦岭和华北地区中、下地壳存在的低速（高导）层也可能是由含水矿物的脱水相变或岩石部分熔融引起的．     

基于多重互相关函数分析剪切波速

介绍了一种提高单孔法剪切波速测量精度的新方法-多重互相关函数法。考虑到判断场地剪切波到时差的困难,提出了用多重互相关函数来求得两剪切波的到时差。互相关分析可求取两相似信号的到时差,但当两信号相似性比较差时,所求得到时差的误差较大;自相关函数本身可进行多重自相关分析,互相关函数结合多重自相关函数后,也可以进行多重互相关分析来求取两相似信号的到时差。试验表明：相比互相关函数,多重互相关函数可改善触发信号和井中三分向探头输出信号的相似性及更好地抑制噪声,因此能更精确地计算出触发信号和井中三分向探头输出信号的的到时差。基于此原理设计了剪切波波速的测试系统,此系统能自动分析出测点的剪切波速和形成完整的报告。     

太湖水体中悬浮物的静沉降特征

本文分别采用斯托克斯沉降速率公式和重复深度吸管法计算了2005年4月、5月间在太湖进行的四次静沉降模拟实验中的沉降速度．结果表明：1)太湖水体中悬浮物的沉降属于絮凝沉降．2)水体中悬浮物浓度与沉降时间均呈现出明显的指数衰减规律(R~2＞0．80),悬浮物中无机物含量较高时这种规律更为明显(R~2≥0．99)．3)悬浮物浓较低时,太湖悬浮物的沉降速率与水体中的悬浮物浓度无明显的相关关系;而悬浮物浓度较高时,沉降速率随悬浮物浓度升高而增大．经拟合沉降速度(ω)与悬浮物浓度(C)之间符合Logistic曲线ω=0．021/(1 exp(-0．026(C-166．3))),R~2=0．98,n=54．4),斯托克斯公式可用来粗略估算太湖悬浮物的沉降速率,而重复深度吸管法则适合于较精确地计算太湖悬浮物的沉降速率．但在计算时须注意根据悬浮物的特性,选取其特征沉降速率．本文计算得到的太湖悬浮物的沉降速率范围为0．002 cm/s-0．005 cm/s．     

天然与风干状态下冷生亚黏土的崩解形态特征

土的崩解形态是描述土的崩解过程及探讨其崩解机理重要的必要条件之一,选取了一种高孔隙率、粉黏粒含量较高,且不具有湿陷性的原状冷生轻质亚黏土作为研究对象,对其天然含水量及风干含水量状态下的土样品进行崩解试验. 结果表明：天然状态的土样呈块状崩解,而风干状态下的呈鳞片状崩解,且鳞片状崩解的强度及平均速率都大于块状崩解;块状崩解的速率随时间变化较为缓和,而鳞片状崩解的速率随时间变化起伏较大. 崩解形态与崩解速率有着紧密的对应关系,与崩解形态相对比,发现崩解速率降低的过程是水侵入土样,且土样中空气压力增大的过程,而速率上升的过程则是土样崩解的过程.
