A solution to the downward continuation effect on the geoid determined by Stokes' formula

 The analytical continuation of the surface gravity anomaly to sea level is a necessary correction in the application of Stokes' formula for geoid estimation. This process is frequently performed by the inversion of Poisson's integral formula for a sphere. Unfortunately, this integral equation corresponds to an improperly posed problem, and the solution is both numerically unstable, unless it is well smoothed, and tedious to compute. A solution that avoids the intermediate step of downward continuation of the gravity anomaly is presented. Instead the effect on the geoid as provided by Stokes' formula is studied directly. The practical solution is partly presented in terms of a truncated Taylor series and partly as a truncated series of spherical harmonics. Some simple numerical estimates show that the solution mostly meets the requests of a 1-cm geoid model, but the truncation error of the far zone must be studied more precisely for high altitudes of the computation point. In addition, it should be emphasized that the derived solution is more computer efficient than the detour by Poisson's integral.

LOCAL SCOUR ESTIMATION AT BRIDGE SITE: MODIFICATION AND APPLICATION OF LACEY FORMULA

In the recent years, it has been established that b/h or h/b (b = length of the structure in the lateral direction and h = approach flow depth) is the dominant factor for the estimation of local scour depth around abutments and piers. One of the major limitations of the Lacey formula is that it predicts only one value of the scour depth for a specific river because of the absence of important parameters b and h. Therefore, its application is quite uncertain for variable b and h. Considering its limitations and experimental facts of flow concentration and shear stress amplification close to above structures, the original Lacey formula is modified introducing the parameters b and h. The applicability of the original as well as modified Lacey formula is tested to the data collected from major rivers in Bangladesh.

内孤立波对小直径直立桩柱作用力的实验研究

内孤立波具有较大的振幅与较强的垂向剪切,能对海洋工程设施产生极大的破坏作用。本文设计实验研究了内孤立波与直立小直径桩柱的相互作用,采用粒子图像速度测量法(PIV)测量内孤立波的流速场,并采用自行设计的测力天平测量桩柱受力,测量分析了内孤立波对小直径直立桩柱产生作用力的实验值,与Morison公式计算的理论值比较。实验结果表明,第一模态内孤立波的流速方向以及作用力在桩柱的上下部分方向相反,产生很强的速度切变和扭力,对小直径直立桩柱造成破坏。通过与Morison公式计算的理论值比较,发现实验值与理论值的大小以及分布规律基本相同。     

Reference crop evapotranspiration determined with a modified Makkink equation

A modified version of the Makkink equation is shown to be a suitable alternative for Penman's formula for the determination of the crop reference evapotranspiration E_ref that is used in the so-called crop factor approach. Makkink's equation requires solar radiation and temperature data only. Since 1987 the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute has calculated E_ref with the modified Makkink's formula on a routine base. Using solar radiation derived from geostationary satellites, remotely sensed estimates of crop reference evapotranspiration can be obtained. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

关于固体表面上液体球冠的平衡条件问题——兼评"冷凝器壁面滴状冷凝的热力学机理及最佳接触角"等文章

对于第一类液滴(尺度远大于界面层的厚度),无论是远离固体壁面的液体球或附着在壁面上的球冠,其内外压力差(简称"附加压力")均适用经典Laplace公式,并且特别对球冠情况给出了一种新的整体性证明.还澄清有关争论:指出[曹治党、郭愚1999物理学报481823]一文对附壁面第一类液体球冠所推导出的附加压力与接触角有关的公式是错误的,而[闵敬春2002物理学报512730]是正确的.

水平能见度经验公式在青岛沿海地区的应用

利用青岛4 a的能见度观测资料和大气气溶胶光学参数反演资料检验了4种能见度经验计算公式的适用性。发现Koschmieder公式和乘幂公式能更好地刻画能见度和气溶胶光学厚度间变化趋势上的相关性,但是由于能见度观测的不确定性和气溶胶光学参数反演的不准确性导致的数据离散性,需要确定更有代表性的经验参数。利用最大发生频率原则确定不同光学厚度对应的能见度值,据此确定适合青岛的各经验公式的经验参数,最后利用MODIS光学厚度资料将乘幂经验公式应用到青岛附近沿海地区能见度的计算,发现春季和夏季的能见度低于其他季节。     

南黄海海面大气长波辐射计算方法的比较

利用了"中国近海海洋综合调查与评价"项目在南黄海区获得的海-气通量观测资料,对一些常用的计算海面大气长波辐射通量的经验公式进行了比较.结果表明,采用Clark和Josey各自提出的经验公式所得的计算结果与实测结果具有较好的一致性;而利用Bignami和Bunker提出的经验公式计算的海面大气长波辐射通量值与实测资料则存在着较大的误差.出现差别的原因可能与不同经验公式所选参数密切相关.
