The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
Tập 45 Số 2 - 2007
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete,
highest‐resolution digital elevation model of the Earth. The project was a joint
endeavor of NASA, the National Geospatial‐Intelligence Agency, and the German
and Italian Space Agencies and flew in February 2000. It used dual radar
antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic
data at 1 arc sec reso...
Phát triển mô hình đóng cửa độ hỗn loạn cho các vấn đề dòng chảy địa vật lý Dịch bởi AI
Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 851-875 - 1982
Các ứng dụng của giả thuyết đóng cửa độ hỗn loạn bậc hai đối với các vấn đề dòng
chảy địa vật lý đã phát triển nhanh chóng kể từ năm 1973, khi mà khả năng dự
đoán thực sự trong việc giải quyết các ảnh hưởng của sự phân tầng đã được chứng
minh. Mục đích ở đây là tổng hợp và tổ chức các tài liệu đã xuất hiện trong một
số bài báo và thêm các tài liệu hữu ích mới để một mô tả đầy đủ (và cải tiến) về

Oceanic vertical mixing: A review and a model with a nonlocal boundary layer parameterization
Tập 32 Số 4 - Trang 363-403 - 1994
If model parameterizations of unresolved physics, such as the variety of upper
ocean mixing processes, are to hold over the large range of time and space
scales of importance to climate, they must be strongly physically based.
Observations, theories, and models of oceanic vertical mixing are surveyed. Two
distinct regimes are identified: ocean mixing in the boundary layer near the
surface under a ...
The geochemical evolution of the continental crust
Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 241-265 - 1995
A survey is given of the dimensions and composition of the present continental
crust. The abundances of immobile elements in sedimentary rocks are used to
establish upper crustal composition. The present upper crustal composition is
attributed largely to intracrustal differentiation resulting in the production
of granites senso lato. Underplating of the crust by ponded basaltic magmas is
probably ...
Nature and composition of the continental crust: A lower crustal perspective
Tập 33 Số 3 - Trang 267-309 - 1995
Geophysical, petrological, and geochemical data provide important clues about
the composition of the deep continental crust. On the basis of seismic
refraction data, we divide the crust into type sections associated with
different tectonic provinces. Each shows a three‐layer crust consisting of
upper, middle, and lower crust, in which P wave velocities increase
progressively with depth. There is l...
ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GLOBAL SOURCES OF ATMOSPHERIC SOIL DUST IDENTIFIED WITH THE NIMBUS 7 TOTAL OZONE MAPPING SPECTROMETER (TOMS) ABSORBING AEROSOL PRODUCT
Tập 40 Số 1 - 2002
We use the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) sensor on the Nimbus 7
satellite to map the global distribution of major atmospheric dust sources with
the goal of identifying common environmental characteristics. The largest and
most persistent sources are located in the Northern Hemisphere, mainly in a
broad “dust belt” that extends from the west coast of North Africa, over the
Middle East, Ce...
Stratosphere‐troposphere exchange
Tập 33 Số 4 - Trang 403-439 - 1995
In the past, studies of stratosphere‐troposphere exchange of mass and chemical
species have mainly emphasized the synoptic‐ and small‐scale mechanisms of
exchange. This review, however, includes also the global‐scale aspects of
exchange, such as the transport across an isentropic surface (potential
temperature about 380 K) that in the tropics lies just above the tropopause,
near the 100‐hPa pressu...
The physics of debris flows
Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 245-296 - 1997
Recent advances in theory and experimentation motivate a thorough reassessment
of the physics of debris flows. Analyses of flows of dry, granular solids and
solid‐fluid mixtures provide a foundation for a comprehensive debris flow
theory, and experiments provide data that reveal the strengths and limitations
of theoretical models. Both debris flow materials and dry granular materials can
sustain s...
Volcanic eruptions and climate
Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 191-219 - 2000
Volcanic eruptions are an important natural cause of climate change on many
timescales. A new capability to predict the climatic response to a large
tropical eruption for the succeeding 2 years will prove valuable to society. In
addition, to detect and attribute anthropogenic influences on climate, including
effects of greenhouse gases, aerosols, and ozone‐depleting chemicals, it is
crucial to qua...
