Based on the partial differential equation governing the effect of atmospheric pressure on water level of confined well, deriving
the boundary condition and considering the seepage water between well and aquifer, the author obtained the analytical solution
of water level change in time domain under the action of an atmospheric pressure history with the Laplace transform method.
This solution is composed of two terms:stable and retarded terms. The stable term is the multiplication of barometric efficiency
and simultaneous atmospheric pressure, and it implies the value of water level after infinite time when the atmospheric pressure
is a constant from the time in question. The retarded term is the transient process due to the time lag of water exchange
between well and aquifer. From the solution, it is obtained that the interference of atmospheric pressure on water level is
the integral superimposition of the contribution of all atmospheric pressure changes before the time in question. So that,
we further found out the response function of pulsive atmospheric pressure history. Calculation shows: (1) The pulsive response
function starts from zero and tends to a steady value, which is proportional to the barometric efficiency, when the time tends
to infinity; (2) The retarded time depends on the mechanical property of aquifer and the radius of well. The larger the seepage
coefficient, the smaller the radius of well and the thicker the aquifer, then the shorter the retarded time gets. This solution
can be used as the theoretical basis for further analysis of the atmospheric effect and practical correcting method in the
future. 相似文献
This study of fossils (pollen, plant macrofossils, stomata and fish) and sediments (lithostratigraphy and geochemistry) from
the Wendel site in North Dakota, USA, emphasizes the importance of considering ground-water hydrology when deciphering paleoclimate
signals from lakes in postglacial landscapes. The Wendel site was a paleolake from about 11,500 14C yr BP to 11,100 14C yr BP. Afterwards, the lake-level lowered until it became a prairie marsh by 9,300 14C yr BP and finally, at 8,500 14C yr BP, an ephemeral wetland as it is today. Meanwhile, the vegetation changed from a white spruce parkland (11,500 to 10,500
14C yr BP) to deciduous parkland, followed by grassland at 9,300 14C yr BP. The pattern and timing of these aquatic and terrestrial changes are similar to coeval kettle lake records from adjacent
uplands, providing a regional aridity signal. However, two local sources of ground water were identified from the fossil and
geochemical data, which mediated atmospheric inputs to the Wendel basin. First, the paleolake received water from the melting
of stagnant ice buried under local till for about 900 years after glacier recession. Later, Holocene droughts probably caused
the lower-elevation Wendel site to capture the ground water of up-gradient lakes. 相似文献
Following our previous study (Sugimoto and Hanawa, 2005b), we further investigate the reason why reemergence of winter sea
surface temperature anomalies does not occur in the North Pacific eastern subtropical mode water (NPESTMW) area, despite its
occurrence in the North Pacific subtropical mode water and North Pacific central mode water areas. We use vertical temperature
and salinity profiles of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment Hydrographic Program and Argo floats with high vertical and
temporal resolution, together with heat flux data through the sea surface. We point out first that one of the causes for non-occurrence
of reemergence is that the thickness of NPESTMW is very thin. In addition to this basic cause, two major reasons are found:
a vigorous mixing in the lower portion of NPESTMW and less heat input from the atmosphere in the warming season. Since, in
the lower portion of NPESTMW and deeper, the stratification is favorable for salt-finger type convection to occur compared
with the other mode water areas, vigorous mixing takes place. This is confirmed by both a large Turner Angle there and the
existence of staircase structures in vertical temperature and salinity profiles. From the viewpoint of heat input, the NPESTMW
area gradually gains heat in the warming season compared with other mode water areas. As a result, NPESTMW cannot be capped
so quickly by the shallow summer mixed layer, and water properties of NPESTMW are to be gradually modified, even in the upper
portion. 相似文献
Hydrographic data and composite current velocity data (ADCP and GEK) were used to examine the seasonal variations of upper-ocean
flow in the southern sea area of Hokkaido, which includes the “off-Doto” and “Hidaka Bay” areas separated by Cape Erimo. During
the heating season (April–September), the outflow of the Tsugaru Warm Current (TWC) from the Tsugaru Strait first extends
north-eastward, and then one branch of TWC turns to the west along the shelf slope after it approaches the Hidaka Shelf. The
main flow of TWC evolves continuously, extending eastward as far as the area off Cape Erimo. In the late cooling season (January–March),
part of the Oyashio enters Hidaka Bay along the shallower part of the shelf slope through the area off Cape Erimo, replacing
almost all of the TWC water, and hence the TWC devolves. It is suggested that the bottom-controlled barotropic flow of the
Oyashio, which may be caused by the small density difference between the Oyashio and the TWC waters and the southward migration
of main front of TWC, permits the Oyashio water to intrude along the Hidaka shelf slope. 相似文献
