大气参数变化对VLBI对流层时延计算值的影响

本采用我国上海、昆明和乌鲁木齐三个VLBI站的对流层大气高度参数ht和对流层内温度垂直梯度βt参数月均值资料，估计了对干大气时延的影响，结果表明在地平高度ε＝10°－20°时两参数的变化可引起干大气时延周年变化的幅值分别为1-5mm和2-15mm；ht的周日变化也可引起大气时延周日变化约1mm，因此，对于1ps级精度的VLBI物理模型，ht和βt不应当采用测站的固定常数值。

木星土星边缘的椭圆拟合

将CCD观测的木星或土星光环图像二值化，再用“四邻点模板”检测获得二值图像的边缘，最后用椭圆方程迭代拟合边缘，可以获得行星几何中心的位置。这被证明是一种高精度的位置测量方法。本文给出了用椭圆拟合检测边缘的全部公式及有关说明。     

The Dependence of Water Exchanges between the Kuroshio Water and Its Surroundings on the Characteristics of the Kuroshio‘s Meanders

Observation of fluid parcel pathways in the Kuroshio Stream revealed a striking crossstream pattern associated with the Kuroshio‘‘ s meanders. In order to understand the observed pattern, a two-dimensional kinematic model of a meandering jet was developed which could be used to examine the relationship between streamfunction patterns and fluid parcel trajectories. The experiments designed to investigate the dependence of the water exchanges between the Kuroshio water and its surroundings on the characteristics of the Kuroshio‘‘s meanders involved the downstream speed,phase speed and the amplitude of other propagating waves. The results suggested that fluid parcels could cross the meandering jet to and fro; and that the water exchanges between the Kuroshio and its surroundings increased with a) increasing meander amplitude, b) decreasing downstream speed, and c) increasing wave phase speed. The results also showed that when the meandering jet was disturbed by other propagating waves, more effective water exchanges could be induced.
