Characterization of the Si:As Blocked Impurity Band (BIB) Detector in Keck's Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS)

Keck's Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS), is the facility instrument used for imaging and spectroscopy in the wavelength range of 3–28 μm at the Keck Observatory. LWS uses an 128 × 128 Si:As blocked impurity band (BIB) array manufactured by the Boeing Corporation. This paper discusses the method used for optimizing the detector's operating parameters at a temperature of 8.5 K and bias voltage of 1.2 V. A process for characterizing detective quantum efficiency of BIB detectors is also presented. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

本假设对于确定的相关系数及子台间距存在一个相干波长，将不同频率、震中距的相关性变化的原因归纳为视波长的变化．对近事件而言，几乎不存在相关系数十分理想的子台间距的区间范围．对非理想相关的台阵，应用S．Mykkeltveit等介绍的增益公式来预测台阵的增益，其效果与实际情况吻合的较好．论述了区域台阵与侦察远处事件的台阵有诸多不同之处．     

Landsat5图像的增益、偏置取值及其对行星反射率计算分析

在对比不同时相的数据或建立遥感反演模型时,往往需要将图像的灰度值转换为反射率。增益和偏置是计算反射率时使用的两个基本参数。如果这两个参数发生偏差,反射率的计算结果就有问题,大气校正和其他相关工作的结果也是不可靠的。根据USGS文档和1995年以来的Landsat5遥感图像,对图像头文件中的增益和偏置参数的取值进行了分析,并按照标准单位将增益和偏置进行了转换。为了分析不同增益和偏置取值对反射率计算结果的影响,对比计算了植被和水体的行星反射率值。对2004年7月26日的太湖地区的TM图像。取值分为4种方案: (1)使用遥感软件ENV14．0计算;(2)使用图像头文件中的参数;(3)使用USGS提供的同期参数;(4)使用USGS提供的2003年前的参数。结果表明,不同增益和偏置取值导致计算结果变化较大。如果以方案3的USGS参数计算的结果为标准,那么,其他方案的相对误差值可从0．2％到20％以上。从各个波段的误差分布看,以第3波段的相对误差最小。从工作成果的可比性角度出发,建议统一使用USGS的增益和偏置参数计算Landsat5图像的反射率。

南汇东滩沉积物粒度特征及其与水动力的关系

沉积物粒度参数可以用来反演沉积物沉积的水动力条件和沉积环境。根据对南汇边滩采集的表层沉积物粒度资料进行分析,结果表明:沉积物类型以黏土质粉砂为主;随着沉积物平均粒径Mz的减小,分选逐渐变好,偏态由极正偏向正偏转变,并向近对称接近。运用Pe- jurp的三角图式对沉积环境进行划分,结果表明南汇东滩的水动力条件总体上较强,沉积物粒径总体上偏粗,属于径流—潮流共同作用的河口浅滩沉积环境。对潮流底应力和沉积物临界起动切应力的计算进一步印证了该区水动力较强,对应沉积物颗粒偏粗的现象。

Short Term and Short Range Seismicity Patterns in Different Seismic Areas of the World

The aim of this work is to quantitatively set up a simple hypothesis for occurrence of earthquakes conditioned by prior events, on the basis of a previously existing model and the use of recent instrumental observations. A simple procedure is presented in order to determine the conditional probability of pairs of events (foreshock-mainshock, mainshock-aftershock) with short time and space separation. The first event of a pair should not be an aftershock, i.e., it must not be related to a stronger previous event. The Italian earthquake catalog of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica (ING) (1975–1995, M 3.4), the earthquake catalog of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) (1983–1994, M 3.0) and that of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) (1982–1994, M 3.8) were analyzed. The number of observed pairs depends on several parameters: the size of the space-time quiescence volume defining nonaftershocks, the inter event time, the minimum magnitude of the two events, and the spatial dimension of the alarm volume after the first event. The Akaike information criterion has been adopted to assess the optimum set of space-time parameters used in the definition of the pairs, assuming that the occurrence rate of subsequent events may be modeled by two Poisson processes with different rates: the higher rate refers to the space-time volume defined by the alarms and the lower one simulates earthquakes that occur in the nonalarm space-time volume. On the basis of the tests carried out on the seismic catalog of Italy, the occurrence rate of M 3.8 earthquakes followed by a M 3.8 mainshock within 10 km and 10 days (validity) is 0.459. We have observed, for all three catalogs, that the occurrence rate density for the second event of a couple (mainshock or aftershock) of magnitude M₂ subsequent to a nonaftershock of magnitude M₁ in the time range T can be modeled by the following relationship: (T, M₂) = 10^{a + b(M1 - M2)} with b varying from 0.74 (Japan) to 1.09 (Greece). The decrease of the occurrence rate in time for a mainshock after a foreshock or for large aftershocks after a mainshock, for all three databases, obeys the Omori's law with p changing from 0.94 (Italy) to 2.0 (Greece).     

Using the TCEV distribution function with systematic and non-systematic data in a regional flood frequency analysis

Due to the social and economic implications, flood frequency analysis must be done with the highest precision. For this reason, the most suitable statistical model must be selected, and the maximum amount of information must be used. Floods in Mediterranean rivers can be produced by two different mechanisms, which forces the use of a non-traditional distribution like the TCEV. The information can be increased by using additional non-systematic data, or with a regional analysis, or both. Through the statistical gain concept, it has been shown that in most cases the use of additional non-systematic information can decrease the quantile estimation error in about 50%. In a regional analysis, the␣benefit of additional information in one station, is propagated to the rest of␣the␣stations with only a small decrease with respect to the at-site equivalent analysis.
