Complex Site Effects in Thessaloniki (Greece): I. Soil Structure and Comparison of Observations with 1D Analysis

This paper presents a 2D model of the geological structure of Thessaloniki city and results of empirical and theoretical approaches for the evaluation of site response due to complex site effects. The construction of the 2D model is based on the available geophysical and geotechnical data in terms of the most important parameters needed to model site response. The well-known subsoil structure, despite the existence of some local uncertainties, gave the possibility to correlate the geometry and the dynamic properties of the 2D model with the results of site response determined from the analysis of one event in frequency and time domains and 1D numerical modelling. The study of site response shows the effect of the lateral variations on ground motion and suggests that the contribution of locally generated surface waves to the resonant peak may be important. In this case history, the limitations of the 1D approximation to simulate ground motion under complex soil conditions in both frequency and time domains are also shown. This paper lays the ground for a companion article dealing with 2D site effects.     

基于双二次插值多项式的DEM传递误差模型

基于函数插值方法,得出了基于不完全双二次插值多项式的规则格网数字高程模型(DEM)的表面表达模型,并推导了相应的传递误差公式.公式表明,不完全双二次多项式的DEM传递误差与双线性多项式的传递误差相同.但由于不完全双二次多项式的DEM表面建模误差低于线性多项式的DEM表面建模误差,因此基于不完全双二次多项式的DEM表面模型具有更高的精度.     

利用中心差分法进行GPS定速时最佳点数的选取

分析了利用中心差分法进行GPS定速时的主要误差来源,证明了当数据采样率一定时,增加中心差分法的点数可减少微分过程中的截断误差,但同时会放大导出相位率的观测误差,得出中心差分法的最佳点数应使这两种误差之和最小的结论。实验结果表明,当数据采样间隔为1s、载体平均速度和加速度为20m.s-1和0.2m.s-2时,9个点的中心差分法定速精度最高。     

轨道误差对InSAR 数据处理的影响

轨道参数是InSAR 数据处理中一个重要的参数,对从最初的图像配准到最后的高程值或形变值图像生成都有着重要的影响.含有误差的轨道参数造成基线误差以残差条纹的形式存在于干涉图中.完全去除残差条纹要求轨道绝对精度低于1mm,目前的定轨精度远不能满足要求.这里推导了轨道误差和残差干涉条纹的关系,分析了轨道误差对高程值和形变值影响的特点,提出采用二次多项式拟合的方法去除残差干涉条纹,并以巴姆地区的 ENVISAT 数据证明了提出方法的有效性.     

On different types of adjustment usable to calculate the parameters of the stream power law

Model parameterization through adjustment to field data is a crucial step in the modeling and the understanding of the drainage network response to tectonic or climatic perturbations. Using as a test case a data set of 18 knickpoints that materialize the migration of a 0.7-Ma-old erosion wave in the Ourthe catchment of northern Ardennes (western Europe), we explore the impact of various data fitting on the calibration of the stream power model of river incision, from which a simple knickpoint celerity equation is derived. Our results show that statistical least squares adjustments (or misfit functions) based either on the stream-wise distances between observed and modeled knickpoint positions at time t or on differences between observed and modeled time at the actual knickpoint locations yield significantly different values for the m and K parameters of the model. As there is no physical reason to prefer one of these approaches, an intermediate least-rectangles adjustment might at first glance appear as the best compromise. However, the statistics of the analysis of 200 sets of synthetic knickpoints generated in the Ourthe catchment indicate that the time-based adjustment is the most capable of getting close to the true parameter values. Moreover, this fitting method leads in all cases to an m value lower than that obtained from the classical distance adjustment (for example, 0.75 against 0.86 for the real case of the Ourthe catchment), corresponding to an increase in the non-linear character of the dependence of knickpoint celerity on discharge.     

西藏地区强降雪过程的波包分布及传播特征

利用NCEP/NCAR高度场的再分析资料,通过波包传播诊断方法(WPD),对2005年10月19～23日西藏地区中东部及南部边缘地区一次大范围强降雪天气过程进行波包分布与波能传播特征分析。结果表明:500hPa高度场的波包分布和传播特征很好地反映此次过程;强降雪天气发生在波包大值区域内而且反映了过程的爆发和消亡;波包的分布特征与强对流天气的发生状况是一致的;波包的移动路径很好地反映了扰动能量的传播。此次过程是"积累-释放"的三次循环。     

平流层爆发性增温过程中臭氧的垂直分布特征

利用ECMWF资料分析了平流层爆发性增温 (SSW) 过程中臭氧体积混合比的垂直分布的变化, 结果表明: 平流层爆发性增温过程中臭氧体积混合比增大, 而其极大值大多数形成在增温盛期。同时臭氧体积混合比的高值区在爆发性增温过程中随高度发生一定的变化, 据此对其变化分为两类: (1) 下传型: 在增温初期臭氧体积混合的高值区随高度下传至一定高度, 在增温盛期形成极大值然后随高度抬升到大致增温前的高度。 (2) 增厚型: 在增温过程中臭氧体积混合比的高值区厚度增加, 同时附近区域的臭氧体积混合比也增大, 而且在增温前臭氧体积混合比高值区在高度上没有多大变化, 增温开始后有所抬升。平流层爆发性增温过程中臭氧高值区随高度变化的这两种类型, 是由于平流层爆发性增温期间剩余环流对臭氧输送的结果。臭氧变化的下传型是由于在爆发性增温前剩余环流存在着中纬度向极地的明显输送, 并且伴随着极地强烈的下沉运动, 这就使得中纬度输送来的臭氧向下输送, 因此出现了臭氧高值区的下传; 而臭氧变化的增厚型是由于在爆发性增温期间剩余环流不但有中纬度向极地的输送, 而且在极地附近5 hPa高度处出现了上下两支输送气流, 向上的输送气流使中纬度输送来的臭氧向上输送, 而向下的输送气流使中纬度输送来的臭氧向下输送, 进而使增温期间极地附近的臭氧的高值区增厚。同时分析还表明: 平流层爆发性增温过程中中纬度臭氧体积混合比减少。     

Optical attenuation in fog at a wavelength of 1.55 micrometers

As part of a series of studies on laser propagation for terrestrial free space optical (FSO) telecommunications or laser telecommunications, an experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between visibility in fog and optical attenuation (dB/km) at a laser wavelength of 1.55 μm. In the telecommunications industry, a semi-empirical equation, called the Kruse formula [Kruse, P.W., McGlauchlin, L., McQuistan, R.B., 1962. Elements of infrared technology: generation, transmission, and detection. John Wiley and Sons, New York] is typically used to calculate expected attenuation for a given meteorological visibility. The Kruse formula, however, was developed to relate meteorological visibility to optical attenuation over wavelengths from the visible to the near infrared (IR), and for dust and small particle aerosols with dimensions much smaller than the wavelength. Typically, suspended small aerosols have diameters that average about 0.1 μm while fog droplets have diameters that range upward from 2.5 μm with mean diameters that exceed 10 μm in some fogs. Therefore, application of the Kruse formula to attenuation in fog is not appropriate since fogs consist mainly of particles much larger than the laser wavelength. As part of the experiment, a transmissometer with an 85-m baseline and a dynamic range of 60 dB operated for thirteen months in an area prone to radiation fog. A commercial visibility sensor, similar to those used at airports, was located near the middle of the optical path of the transmissometer and operated over the same period. The largest attenuation measured at this site was just over 300 dB/km, corresponding to a visibility of 32 m. The key finding of the study is that the generally accepted Kruse formula relating visibility and optical attenuation may be too pessimistic at low visibilities, and actual attenuation values for a given visibility may be more than 20% lower than previously thought. At visibilities exceeding about 650 m, the Kruse formula gives a good estimate of optical attenuation.     

谱模式SAMIL对南亚季风区大气季节内振荡向北传播的模拟

基于与NCEP资料结果的比较,研究了中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室发展的大气环流模式SAMIL对夏季南亚季风区季节内振荡（ISO）向北传播特征的模拟,并结合目前对ISO北传机制的理解对模拟结果进行了分析讨论。SAMIL在夏季南亚地区模拟出相当强度的季节内振荡的活动,并且模拟的ISO也表现出与NCEP资料相似的从赤道向北传播的特征,但传播的速度要慢于NCEP资料的结果。模拟的北传ISO具有与NCEP资料相似的结构特征,涡度和水汽场明显的呈经向不对称,涡度和水汽的正异常位于ISO对流的北面,最大的上升运动和最强的行星边界层辐合也位于ISO对流的北面。ISO 结构的经向不对称性正是模式模拟的ISO具有向北传播特征的原因;而模式对夏季南亚季风区高低层风场和行星边界层水汽的合理模拟起了关键的作用。同时,根据关于ISO北传机理的已有研究,模式的结果也表明南亚地区夏季风场的垂直结构是那里ISO向北传播的重要机制。
