Modification Of The Standard ∈-Equation For The Stable Abl Through Enforced Consistency With Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory

A condition is derived for consistency of the standard-equation with Monin–Obukhov (MO) similarity theory of thestably-stratified surface layer. The condition is derivedby extending the procedure used to derive the analogous condition forneutral theory to stable stratification. It is shown that consistencywith MO theory requires a function of flux Richardson number, Ri_f, to be absorbed into either of two closure parameters, c ₁ or c ₂.Inconsistency, on the other hand, results if constant values of these are maintained for all Ri_f, as is done in standardapplication of the equation, and the large overpredictions ofturbulence found in such application to the one-dimensionalstable atmospheric boundary layer (1D-SBL) are traced to thisinconsistency. Guided by this, we formulate a MO-consistent-equation by absorbing the aforementioned function intoc ₁, and combine this with a Level-2.5 second-orderclosure model for vertical eddy viscosity and diffusivities.Numerical predictions of the 1D-SBL by the modified model converge to a quasi-steady state, rectifying the predictive failure of the standard -equation for the case.Quasi-steady predictions of non-dimensional variables agree stronglywith Nieuwstadt's theory. Qualitative accuracy of predictionsis inferred from comparisons to field data, large-eddy simulationresults and Rossby-number similarity relationships.     

Gas and Particulate Products Distribution from the Photooxidation of α-Humulene in the Presence of NOx, Natural Atmospheric Air and Sunlight

The photooxidation of -humulene in the presence of NO_x, natural sunlight, and rural background air was investigated using a combination of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Identification and quantification of gas and particulate reaction products were reported over the course of the reaction. The daytime photooxidation was carried out in a large outdoor smog chamber (190 m³). A wide range of ring retaining and ring opening products in the gas and particle phase are reported. On average, measured gas and particle phase products accounted for 44% of the reacted -humulene carbon. Measurements show that a number of reaction products with low vapor pressures (e.g. 3-seco--humulone aldehyde, 7-seco--humulone aldehyde, -humulal aldehyde, -humulene 3-oxide or -humulene 7-oxide, -humulaic/alic acid isomers, and 3-seco--14-hydroxyhumulone aldehyde) were found in the early stage of the reaction and may play an important role in the early formation of secondary organic aerosol. A detailed mechanism is proposed to account for most products observed in this investigation.     

软弱夹层粘粒含量与抗剪强度参数的关系分析

分析表明,赋存环境相同、粘土矿物成分以伊利石为主的软弱夹层,在相同稠度状态下粘粒含量与抗剪强度参数具有很好的相关性。通过现场和大量的室内试验成果,建立了各种稠度状态下粘粒含量和抗剪强度参数之间的相关关系式,揭示了在研究粘粒含量对抗剪强度参数影响时,还应当考虑软弱夹层所处的天然状态。结合《温凝土重力坝设计规范》中提出的用粒度成分定量指标选取软弱结构面抗剪强度参数,对软弱夹层抗剪强度参数取值问题进行了探讨。

Evidence for chemical evolution in spectra of high redshift galaxies

Using a sample of 57 VLT FORS spectra in the redshift range 1.37< z < 3.40 and a comparison sample with 36 IUE spectra of local ( ) starburst galaxies we derive CIV equivalent width values and estimate metallicities of starburst galaxies as a function of redshift. Assuming that a calibration of the CIV equivalent widths in terms of the metallicity based on the local sample of starburst galaxies is applicable to high-z objects, we find a significant increase of the average metallicities from about 0.16 Z _⊙ at the cosmic epoch corresponding to z ≈ 3.2 to about 0.42 Z _⊙ at z ≈ 2.3. A significant further increase in metallicity during later epochs cannot be detected in our data. Compared to the local starburst galaxies our high-redshift objects tend to be overluminous for a given metallicity. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

中国大陆科学钻探主孔超高压榴辉岩中绿辉石结构水研究

本文利用傅立叶（Fourier）变换红外光谱技术对CCSD主孔100～3100米深度范围榴辉岩中的绿辉石结构水含量进行了原位分析。结果表明，所有绿辉石都舍有一定的以OH形式存在的结构水，其含量范围为45～784ppm，平均为235ppm。不同榴辉岩绿辉石之间的结构水含量差别较大，而且呈现出明显的空间分布不均一性。相关性分析显示，绿辉石的结构水含量与全岩的Mgo、TFeO、Al2O3，含量成正相关，与NaO成反相关，与绿辉石的NaO、TFeO含量成负相关，与榴辉岩的峰期变质条件无关；与其它类型榴辉岩相比，多硅白云母榴辉岩中绿辉石的结构水含量较高，平均为339ppm。由此推测，超高压榴辉岩绿辉石中所残留的结构水含量很可能与其峰期结构水含量、矿物化学成分和岩石矿物组成有关。
