Relevance of inflows on the thermodynamic structure and on the modeling of a deep subalpine lake (Lake Maggiore,Northern Italy/Southern Switzerland)

Atmospheric exchanges largely dominate the heat budget of deep lakes in temperate regions. Heat import and export by through-flows is of much lower entity and has been neglected or simplified in many numerical thermodynamic models of lakes. This is often due either to the unavailability of data for inflows and outflows, or to the difficulties in forecasting the evolution of their discharge and temperature in climate change studies. While disregarding through-flows may seem correct, riverine intrusions can bring warmer water than the deep hypolimnetic one to the lower metalimnion and upper hypolimnion, where sunlight does not penetrate and mixing is poor. For holomictic lakes with significant inflow contributions, this can affect the thermal structure at intermediate depths, hampering any numerical model which neglects through-flows. This study focuses on a relevant basin under such aspect, Lake Maggiore (Northern Italy/Southern Switzerland), which drains the rainiest watershed of the Southern Alps. First, we quantify to what extent a one-dimensional fixed-level model ignoring through-flows is able to predict the observed evolution of the thermal structure of the lake and the improvements resulting from reproducing the main inflows and outflows. Then, we directly discuss the influence of through-flows on the thermodynamic structure of Lake Maggiore. The General Lake Model (GLM) was here adopted, reproducing the 1998–2014 period, spanning years with different meteorological and hydrological features. Results show that a calibrated enclosed-lake model can give satisfactory results only if it employs an unrealistically low light extinction coefficient to allow heating of the deep metalimnion and hypolimnion, whose real warming strongly depends on interflows.     

C-RESPONSE OF GEOMAGNETIC DEPTH SOUNDING ON A 1D THIN SHELL MODEL

This paper tries to formulate the C-response of geomagnetic depth sounding(GDS)on an Earth model with finite electrical conductivity. The computation is performed in a spherical coordinate system. The Earth is divided into a series of thin spherical shells. The source is approximated by a single spherical harmonic P₁⁰ due to the spatial structure of electrical currents in the magnetosphere. The whole solution space is separated into inner and external parts by the Earth surface. Omitting displacement current, the magnetic field in the external space obeys Laplacian equation, while in the inner part, due to the finite conductivity, the electromagnetic fields obey Helmholtz equation. To connect the magnetic fields in the inner and external space, the continuity condition of magnetic fields is used on the Earth surface. The external magnetic fields are expressed by the inner and external source coefficients, from which a new parameter called C-response is computed from the inner coefficient divided by the external coefficient, thus normalizing the actual source strength. The inner magnetic fields in each layer can be recursively derived by the continuity boundary condition of both normal and tangential components of the magnetic field from the initial boundary condition at core-mantle-boundary. The consistency of our C-responses with that from a typical 1-D global model validates the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Numerical results also show that the C-response estimated from the geomagnetic transfer function method will deviate exceeding 5%from the actual response at longer periods than about 10⁶s, which means that ignoring the curvature of the Earth at extreme long periods will make inversion result unreliable. Therefore, an accurate C-response should be computed in order to lay a solid foundation for reliable inversion.     

基于LAIC电场渗透和SAMI2模拟的地震-电离层扰动现象研究

地震会造成电离层电子密度扰动。 基于三维电场渗透模型和SAMI2模型, 模拟地震发生前产生的异常电场对电离层电子密度的影响。 模拟结果表明, 地震前形成的附加电流会引起电离层产生异常电场, 且异常电场值与地震震级和地震发生时间有着明显的相关。 同时异常电场会使电子产生E×B漂移, 造成电子密度扰动。 随着时间的推移, 电子密度扰动逐渐减小且扰动区域会向着靠近磁赤道方向或远离磁赤道方向漂移。     

固体潮位移InSAR相位模拟及对广域地表形变监测的影响初探

固体地球潮汐(Solid earth tide,SET)在地表产生的径向位移可达40～50 cm,形变梯度可达2 cm/100 km,是各种精密大地测量和地球物理观测必须考虑的因素之一.随着星载合成孔径雷达干涉测量(Interferometric synthetic aperture radar,InSAR)地表形变监测范围的不断增大以及对精度要求不断提高,固体潮位移对InSAR观测的影响不容忽视.本文利用固体潮位移理论模型,根据InSAR测量基本原理和Sentinel-1卫星成像参数,模拟了固体潮位移InSAR相位,定量分析了其时空分布特征,并以我国江汉平原和北美大平原的Sentinel-1数据为例,探讨了固体潮位移InSAR相位对广域地表形变监测的影响.结果表明:(1)固体潮位移对InSAR广域地表形变监测存在较大影响,在250 km×250 km范围中,以C波段为例,其相位变化可达12 rad(对应52 mm视线向形变);(2)固体潮位移相位在中低纬度(60°S—60°N)地区变化较大,两极地区较小,且在时间上具有明显的周期性;(3)在Sentinel-1 InSAR观测中,通过固体潮位移相位改正去除了干涉图中的部分低频相位偏差,相比原始干涉图,改正后的解缠相位标准差减小了约29%.本研究对于认识固体潮位移InSAR相位的时空分布特征以及提高星载InSAR广域地表形变监测的准确度与可靠性均具有重要意义.     

Spectroscopic Characterization of Organic Structures and Organic‐Inorganic Interactions in Paper Mill Sludge

The organic composition and organic‐inorganic interaction in paper mill sludge (PS) solvent extracts (hexane, ethyl acetate, acetone and ethanol) and humic fractions, humic acid (HA) and humin (HU) were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), proton and carbon‐13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR; ¹³C NMR), Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐vis). The strategy of fractionating the PS, sequentially, with organic solvents of increasing polarity is a reliable analytical procedure for humic substance sample separation because it results in more purified fractions. FTIR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR results showed that hexane extract consisted mainly of aliphatic hydrocarbon structures. Their contents in the extracts decreased as the polarity of the extracting solvent increased and the content of oxygen functional groups increased. Carboxylic and carboxylate functional groups were found in the acetone extract, and ester and ether functions were predominantly found in the ethanol extract. EPR spectra revealed some Fe³⁺ complexes with rhombic structure (g₁ = 4.3; g₂ = 9.0) in the humic fractions and in all solvent extracts, except hexane. Quasi‐octahedral Fe³⁺ complexes (g = 2.3; ΔH_pp ≤ 400 G) were found in the HU fraction and in the acetone extract. The organic free radical content in the HA fraction was higher than the non‐fractionated PS sample and HU fraction.

The paper describes the distinctive features of the pseudo‐dynamic test method as implemented at the ELSA reaction‐wall facility. Both hardware and software aspects are considered. Particular attention is devoted to the digital control system and to a coupled numerical–experimental substructuring technique allowing realistic earthquake testing of very large structures. Mathematical and implementation details corresponding to this testing technique are given for both synchronous and asynchronous input motion. Selected test results illustrate the advantages of the presented features. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

“祝融号”火星车多光谱相机岩矿类型识别的地面验证研究

中国首个自主火星探测任务“天问一号”探测器于2020-07成功发射,其搭载的中国首台火星车“祝融号”将在着陆火星后开展巡视探测,获取中国火星探测的原始科学数据。识别火星表面岩矿类型对于了解火星的大气变化、环境状态、地质演化以及生物宜居性等具有重要意义。本研究利用“祝融号”火星车搭载的多光谱相机载荷鉴定件（8个波段）在地球环境下拍摄并获取了18种火星表面岩矿的多光谱影像数据。基于该数据所开展的火星岩矿类型的识别研究可为未来基于“祝融号”多光谱相机数据进行火星表面岩矿的原位识别提供指导。本文所采用的基于多光谱影像波段运算和彩色图像HSV颜色特征直方图的岩矿识别方法,可从多光谱特征和颜色特征两个层面来识别不同类型的岩矿。所使用的多光谱影像数据是在太阳高度角约60°、拍摄高度1.8 m、拍摄角度约37°的条件下采集所得。在该实验条件下,两种识别方法共提取出12种岩矿的识别指标。基于多光谱影像波段运算可以区分出在8个特定波段下具有突出光谱特征的岩矿类型,而基于图像HSV颜色特征可区分出颜色特征分布较为集中的岩矿类型。同时,研究发现拍摄角度不同会对岩矿的识别效果产生不可忽略的影响。
