A simple theoretical interpretation of the cloud system in a dying cyclone from the aspect of the boucher-newcomb model

Резюме С помощью принятия простых кинематических предположений и на основании ω—уравнения выла определена конфигурация полос облаков в полностью окклюдированном циклоне без фронтов. Облачная система определяется полем скрытой теплоты, выделяемой в процессах конденсации. Полосы облаков теоретически представляют собой в основном листы синусоидальной спирали.

A multivariate statistical and geostatistical study on the geochemistry of allochtonous karst bauxite deposits in Hungary

A geochemical evaluation of the Szc-Halimba-Kisld area, Hungary, covering an area of more than 200 km² is presented using different statistical and geostatistical methods. The study area is a representative example of allochtonous karst bauxite accumulation. The three groups of deposits studied here have been explored and mined since 1950. Several thousand boreholes have been drilled, and bauxite cores were analyzed for the five main chemical components. A total of 80,000 pleces of analytical data were processed, followed by a geological examination of borehole logs and of mining excavations.The quantitative geochemical evaluation of the data set led to both geochemical and practical results: The geochemical behavior of the allochtonous, clastic karst bauxite deposits differs essentially from that of the autochtonous and parautochtonous ones, as well as that of the lateritic bauxite deposits. The deposits of the study area can be split into several subsequent geochemical-sedimentological units, each representing an event of bauxite transport and accumulation. Clear regional patterns can be revealed in the composition of these units. The geostatistically measured chemical variability of the geochemical units is rather different, the lowest units showing the smallest variability. The interrelations of the main chemical components are weaker and more irregular in the studied deposits than in the autochtonous lateritic bauxite deposits. Additional local genetic features, such as transport routes, can be delineated by the methods applied. Within each deposit, local changes of chemical composition and of its variability can be determined more precisely. These results can be used in bauxite prospecting and exploration, because areas of high or low bauxite quality can be predicted.     

Motions in the solar atmosphere associated with the white light flare of 11 July 1978

Series of white light heliograms and oft- and on-band H filtergrams have been obtained, with an average spatial resolution of 1, to study the flare active McMath region 15403 on 11 July, 1978. A great number of accurate heliographic positions were determined for the umbrae, the white light flare patches and several bright H flare knots, as well as along the principal zero filament and an arch prominence. Using the measured heliographic coordinates of these objects their motions could be analyzed in some detail. The velocities of several different objects could be deduced from the coordinates. Since the heliocentric angle of the region was about 45°, the variation in apparent heliographic coordinates also enabled some variations in heights to be determined.It is pointed out that the flare when fully developed, consisted almost entirely of loops. The zero filament which was activated prior to the flare ran between two umbrae of common penumbra and opposite polarity, one belonging to an old, the other to a new spot group. The white light flare developed on both sides of the filament where it passed between these two umbrae; it was also the place where the flare started. Observational evidence appears to indicate that the erupted filament re-formed from below.An indication has been found that there was a link between the motion of some umbrae and the major flare occurrence.     

Problems of the „Pannonian Median Massif“ and the plate tectonic concept. Contributions based on the distribution of Late Paleozoic — Early Mesozoic isopic zones

After a short historical review of conceptions about the Pannonian Median Massif or Tisia, the distribution of Middle-Upper Carboniferous and Lower Triassic-Liassic facies is briefly examined on the two sides of the Zagreb-Zemplin line dividing into two main segments the basement of the Carpathian basin. It shows on the one hand, that the Igal-Bükk zone (Igal-Bükk eugeosyncline ofWein, 1969), thought to establish a connection between the NW-Dinarides and the Dinaric-type Bükkium, is only a tectonic zone and could never have been a paleogeographical unit. On the other hand, the northern, marginal part of Tisia (Mecsek-Bihor crystalline belt and its sedimentary cover;Dank &Bodzay, 1971) exhibits a development and facies characteristic of the northern (northeastern) marginal complex of the Tethys. Also, facies-transitions from the foreland toward the open sea are always of N S direction. All autochthonous explanations must face the striking differences along the Zagreb-Zemplin line, which seem to exclude the possibility that the northern part of Tisia was a central, partly emerged crystalline ridge (no facies-transitions toward N!); it was rather part of the northern (northeastern) marginal complex of Tethys. Therefore allochthonous models suggesting largerscale horizontal movements give a much more plausible explanation. The style of Late Hercynian development and the distribution of Lower Triassic-Liassic facies zones suggest, that Tisia was part of the northern (northeastern) shelf of the Tethys until the end of the Liassic (in accordance with the opinion ofBleahu), then split off and was wedged in by horizontal movements between the NW-Dinarides and the Dinaric-type Bükkium by the end of the Jurassic — beginning of the Cretaceous.

Zusammenfassung Nach einem kurzgefaßten historischen Überblick zur Deutung des Pannonischen Massivs oder Tisia wird die Verteilung der Fazies von Mittel- und Oberkarbon sowie Untertrias bis Lias auf den beiden Seiten der Zagreb-Zemplin-Linie — welche den Untergrund des Karpatenbeckens in zwei Abschnitte zerteilt — kurz untersucht. Sie zeigt einerseits, daß die Igal-Bükk-Zone (die Igal-Bükk Eugeosynklinal vonWein, 1969)-welche eine Verbindung zwischen den NW Dinariden und dem dinarisch-typischen Bükkium darstellen soll — nur eine tektonische Zone ist, hingegen nie eine paleogeographische Einheit gewesen sein kann.Der nördliche, äußerste Teil des Tisia (Mecsek-Bihor kristalliner Gürtel und seine sedimentäre Decke;Dank u.Bodzay, 1971) weist eine Ausbildung und Fazies auf, welche für den nördlichen (nordöstlichen) marginalen Komplex der Tethys typisch ist. Auch Faziesübergänge vom Vorland in der Richtung der offenen See sind immer N S gerichtet. Alle Erklärungen, die eine autochthone Lage der Zonen entlang der Zagreb-Zemplin-Linie mit einbeziehen, müssen mit der Tatsache fertig werden, daß der nördliche Teil der Tisia einen zentralen Teil eines teilweise emporgehobenen Kristallinrückens darstellt (kein Faziesübergang nach Norden). Sie war eher Teil der nördlichen (nordöstlichen) marginalen Serie der Tethys. Daher erscheinen allochthone Modelle, welche horizontale Bewegungen in größerem Maßstabe andeuten, eher glaubwürdig zu sein. Der Stil der spätherzynischen Entwicklung und die Verteilung der Fazieszonen von Untertrias bis Lias deuten an, daß der Tisia Teil der nördlichen (nordöstliche) Shelf der Tethys bis Ende Lias war (übereinstimmend mit der Meinung vonBleahu 1976); dann spaltete er sich ab und keilte sich mit horizontalen Bewegungen zwischen den NW Dinariden und dem Bükkium dinarischen Types ein; dies könnte Ende Jura-Anfang Kreide stattgefunden haben.

Résumé Après une brève revue historique des conceptions sur la »Masse médiane pannonienne« ou la »Tisia«, on examine brièvement la distribution des facies du Carbonifère moyen-supérieur et du Trias-Lias aux deux cotés de la ligne de Zagreb-Zemplin divisant le soubassement du Bassin Carpathique en deux ségments principaux.Ce qui est démontré, c'est d'une part que la zone Igal-Bükk (le »géosynclinal Igal-Bükk«, Wein, 1969), considérée comme l'établissement d'une communication entre les Dinarides du NW et le Bükkium de type dinarique, ne représente qu'une zone tectonique, mais qu'elle ne peut jamais être une unité paléogéographique. D'autre part la partie septentrionale, marginale de la »Tisia« (la ceinture crystalline de» Mecsek-Bihor« et sa couverture sédimentaire; Dank-Bodzay, 1971) présente un développement et un faciès caractéristique du complexe marginal septentrional (nordoriental) de la Téthys. Les transitions de faciès de l'avant-pays vers la mer ouverte sont également de direction N-S. Toutes les explications autochtonistes doivent faire face aux différences accentuées le long de la ligne Zagreb-Zemplin, ce qui semble exclure la possibilité que le Nord de la »Tisia« ait été une dorsale cristalline centrale, émergée (aucune transition de faciès vers le N!); elle a fait plutôt partie du complexe marginal du N (NE) de la Téthys. C'est pourquoi les modèles allochtonistes suggérant des mouvements horizontaux plus vastes donnent une explication plus plausible. Le style du développement éohercynien et la distribution des zones faciales du Trias inférieur-Lias suggèrent que la »Tisia« a fait partie du shelf septentrional (nordoriental) de la Téthys jusqu'à la fin du Lias (en accord complet avec l'opinion de Bleahu, 1976) et qu'ensuite elle s'était décollée et coinné par des mouvements horizontaux entre les Dinarides du NW et le Bükkium de type dinarique vers la fin du Jurassique et le début du Crétacé.

Comment on some relations between the shape of streamlines and frontal interface in the proximity of a cyclonic vortex

Zusammenfassung Es wird ein einfaches Modell des zykolnalen Wirbels vorgeschlagen und die Beziehung zwischen seiner Intensität, der Form der Stromlinien und der Deformation der frontalen Grenzoberfläche in seiner Nähe diskutiert. Die Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, die Kriterien der sogenannten dynamischen Klassifikation der aus den meteorologischen Satelliten photographierten Bewölkung zu finden.     

Comment on the effect of a vorticity centre on a frontal boundary

Zusammenfassung Es wird der Einfluss des sogenannten Vorticity-Zentrums auf die Grenzfläche zweier Luftmassen der mittleren geographischen Breiten studiert. Zwecks Aufklärung der Rolle des Bewegungs- und Druckfeldes in diesem Prozesse wurde ein einfaches Modell konstruiert und numerisch gelöst. Die sich entwickelnde frontale Welle kann beziehungsweise als ein Anfangswert beim Lösen der mit der Stabilität der Wellen verbundenen Probleme mittels der Gleichungen, linearisiert durch die Methode der kleinen Störungen, dienen. Bei der Konstruktion des Modells wird ausser anderem von der Geometrie der Bewölkung ausgegangen, wie sie auf den Aufnahmen der meteorologischen Satelliten erfasst ist.     

Particulate air pollution in a small settlement: The effect of local heating

Mass concentrations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and black smoke (BS) were measured in April 2003 during a 3-week campaign in a small village and at a nearby background location in the central part of the Czech Republic. In a pilot analysis, concentrations of selected trace elements (Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Cd, Sb, Cs, Pb) in the collected aerosol were determined by means of ICP-MS. Average concentrations of both PM fractions and BS were higher in the village (37, 26 and 26 μg m⁻³) than at the background location (26, 19 and 11 μg m⁻³) for PM₁₀, PM_2.5 and BS, respectively. Both PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 were reasonably correlated in the village (r = 0.80) and also at the background location (r = 0.79). Correlation between same fractions from the village and from the background site were even higher (r = 0.97 and r = 0.95 for the PM₁₀ and PM_2.5, respectively) suggesting that most of the aerosol in both locations may be influenced by similar sources. The ratio between PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 showed that sources in the village contributed about 33% and 35% to local aerosol concentration for PM₁₀ and PM_2.5, respectively. When the data from the two rural locations were compared with corresponding 24-h averages of PM₁₀ concentrations obtained for the period of the campaign from fixed site monitors situated near larger towns, the highest concentration was found in Prague the Czech capital (49 μg m⁻³) followed by a district town Beroun (41 μg m⁻³) and the village (37 μg m⁻³). The lowest PM₁₀ concentration was found in the village background (26 μg m⁻³). Elemental analysis revealed higher concentrations for most of the elements characteristic of combustion aerosol (namely Zn, Pb, As, Mn and Ti) in the PM collected in the village. The results support the idea that traditional heating in villages may contribute a great extent to local air pollution and may represent an important problem.
