Sampling strategy to describe the temporal hydrochemical characteristics of an alpine proglacial stream

A hierarchical sampling programme (including continuous monitoring, twice-daily sampling and sampling at hourly intervals over selected 24 hour periods) was devised to support hydrochemical and hydrological research programmes on an alpine proglacial stream. The rationale for the research and for the sampling programme are explained and the hydrochemical time series generated over an ablation season are analysed to assess the degree to which they support the study aims. It appears that there is no satisfactory substitute for the chemical analysis of at least two water samples taken at approximately maximum and minimum discharge every day, if seasonal variations in meltwater chemistry are to be effectively characterized. Such time series data can be used to estimate Box-Jenkins transfer function-noise models between particular solutes (SO²⁻₄, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺ and possibly K⁺) and either discharge or electrical conductivity, which can then be used to fill any short gaps in the data. This approach is not satisfactory even for filling short gaps in the twice-daily determinations of pH, HCO⁻₃ and NO⁻₃. At the diurnal time-scale (based on hourly determinations over 24 hour periods) electrical conductivity seems to provide a good surrogate for most of the solutes studied. HCO⁻₃, SO²⁻₄, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ were found to be particularly strongly related to electrical conductivity and there was little if any significant serial autocorrelation in the residuals from all of the simple linear regression relationships that were estimated between individual species and conductivity. It is concluded that the hierarchical sampling design was suitable for the purposes of the study, and that the continuous monitoring of electrical conductivity provides excellent supporting information to the chemical analysis of water samples if it is used carefully as a means of short term calibration and interpolation of the solute record.

Elliptic Anomaly in Constructing Long-Term and Short-Term Dynamical Theories

The techniques of Brumberg and Brumberg (1999) based on the use of elliptic anomaly are specified in this paper in two aspects. The iteration technique (Broucke, 1969) to construct short-term semi-analytical theories of motion in rectangular coordinates in lines of Encke and Hill is reelaborated in terms of elliptic anomaly resulting in extending this technique for high-eccentricity orbits. In constructing long-term semi-analytical theories the key point is to integrate trigonometric functions of several angular arguments related to time by different differential expressions. This problem is reduced in the paper to linear algebraic recurrence relations admitting efficient solution by iterations.

Estimating the distribution of snow water equivalent and snow extent beneath cloud cover in the Salt–Verde River basin,Arizona

The temporal and spatial continuity of spatially distributed estimates of snow‐covered area (SCA) are limited by the availability of cloud‐free satellite imagery; this also affects spatial estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE), as SCA can be used to define the extent of snow telemetry (SNOTEL) point SWE interpolation. In order to extend the continuity of these estimates in time and space to areas beneath the cloud cover, gridded temperature data were used to define the spatial domain of SWE interpolation in the Salt–Verde watershed of Arizona. Gridded positive accumulated degree‐days (ADD) and binary SCA (derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)) were used to define a threshold ADD to define the area of snow cover. The optimized threshold ADD increased during snow accumulation periods, reaching a peak at maximum snow extent. The threshold then decreased dramatically during the first time period after peak snow extent owing to the low amount of energy required to melt the thin snow cover at lower elevations. The area having snow cover at this later time was then used to define the area for which SWE interpolation was done. The area simulated to have snow was compared with observed SCA from AVHRR to assess the simulated snow map accuracy. During periods without precipitation, the average commission and omission errors of the optimal technique were 7% and 11% respectively, with a map accuracy of 82%. Average map accuracy decreased to 75% during storm periods, with commission and omission errors equal to 11% and 12% respectively. The analysis shows that temperature data can be used to help estimate the snow extent beneath clouds and therefore improve the spatial and temporal continuity of SCA and SWE products.

Ellipsoidal Harmonic expansions of the gravitational potential: Theory and application

Small bodies of the solar system are now the targets of space exploration. Many of these bodies have elongated, non-spherical shapes, and the usual spherical harmonic expansions of their gravity fields are not well suited for the modelling of spacecraft orbits around these bodies. An elegant remedy is to use ellipsoidal harmonic expansions instead of the usual spherical ones. In this paper, we present their mathematical theory as well as a real application: the simulation of a landing on the surface of a kilometer-sized comet. We show that with an ellipsoidal harmonic expansion up to degree 5, the error on the landing position is at the meter level, while the corresponding error for the spherical harmonic expansion can reach tens of meters.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.
