The optimal Arcti...The influence of Arctic sea ice concentration (SIC) on the subseasonal prediction of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) event is investigated by utilizing the Community Atmospheric Model version 4. The optimal Arctic SIC perturbations which exert the greatest influence on the onset of an NAO event from a lead of three pentads (15 days) are obtained with a conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation approach. Numerical results show that there are two types of optimal Arctic SIC perturbations for each NAO event, with one weakening event (marked as type-1) and another strengthening event (marked as type-2). For positive NAO events, type-1 optimal SIC perturbations mainly show positive SIC anomalies in the Greenland, Barents, and Okhotsk Seas, while type-2 perturbations mainly feature negative SIC anomalies in these regions. For negative NAO events, the optimal SIC perturbations have almost opposite patterns to those in positive events, although there are some differences among these SIC perturbations due to different atmospheric initial conditions. Further diagnosis reveals that the optimal Arctic SIC perturbations first modify the surface turbulent heat flux and the temperature in the lower troposphere via diabatic processes. Afterward, the temperature in the low troposphere is mainly affected by dynamic advection. Finally, potential vorticity advection plays a crucial role in the 500-hPa geopotential height prediction in the northern North Atlantic sector during pentad 4, which influences NAO event prediction. These results highlight the importance of Arctic SIC on NAO event prediction and the spatial characteristics of the SIC perturbations may provide scientific support for target observations of SIC in improving NAO subseasonal predictions.展开更多

For sea surface temperature(SST) perturbations, spatially uncorrelated random perturbations were replaced with spatially correlated ones. The multiplier f, which is used to form perturbed tendency in the Stochastically Perturbed Parameterization Tendency(SPPT) scheme, was inflated in regions with evident convective activity(f-inflated SPPT). Lastly, the Stochastically Perturbed Parameterization(SPP) scheme with 14 perturbed parameters selected from the planetary boundary layer, surface layer, microphysics, and cumulus convection parameterizations was added. Overall, all these methods improved forecasts more significantly for non-intensifying than intensifying TCs. Compared with f-inflated SPPT,the spatially correlated SST perturbations generally showed comparable performance but were more(less) skillful for intensifying(non-intensifying) TCs. The advantages of the spatially correlated SST perturbations and f-inflated SPPT were mainly present in the deterministic guidance for both TC track and wind and in the probabilistic guidance for reliability of wind. For intensifying TCs, adding SPP led to mixed impacts with significant improvements in probability-matched mean of modest winds and in probabilistic forecasts of rainfall;while for non-intensifying TCs, adding SPP frequently led to positive impacts on the deterministic guidance for track, intensity, strong winds, and moderate rainfall and on the probabilistic guidance for wind and discrimination of rainfall.展开更多

The mechanism of RMPs induced energetic ion loss has been extensively studied, and is mainly attributed to resonant effects. In this paper,in the perturbed non-axisymmetric tokamak pedestal, we analytically derive the equations of guiding center motion for energetic ions including the bounce/transit averaged radial drift velocity and the toroidal precession frequency modified by strong radial electric field. The loss time of energetic ions is numerically solved and its parametric dependence is analyzed in detail.We find that passing energetic ions cannot escape from the plasma, while deeply trapped energetic ions can escape from the plasma. The strong radial electric field plays an important role in modifying the toroidal precession frequency and resulting in the drift loss of trapped energetic ions. The loss time of trapped energetic ions is much smaller than the corresponding slowdown time in DIII-D pedestal. This indicates that the loss of trapped energetic ions in the perturbed non-axisymmetric pedestal is important, especially for the trapped energetic ions generated by perpendicular neutral beam injection.展开更多

Such nonlinear perturbations are with time-varying but norm-bounded characteristics. Based on a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional together with a free-weighting matrices technique,improved delay-dependent stability criteria are established. It is shown that less conservative results can be obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities( LMIs). Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed approach.展开更多

In these simulations, a decrease in the corresponding saturation values of corrosion product activity (CPA) is observed for higher pH values. Comparison of CPA’s behavior has been done for constant flow-rate case as well as for transients with elevated 10B levels (~40%) in dissolved boric acid in coolant in two operating cycles. When the flow rate is decreased in the first cycle, the saturation value of CPA attains new higher values. Also, in the second operating cycle, the saturation values are about 12% higher when compared with the values in the first cycle.展开更多

Beside, it is necessary to explore in details the influence of such field on the continuous medium of baryonic matter. These statements were realized for the quintessence field that describes by two gravitating scalar fields. They give own contributions at the total pressure and at the total mass density of baryonic matter. It allowed show that evolution of baryonic matter’s density perturbations obeys the equation of forced oscillations and admits the resonance case, when amplitude of baryonic matter’s density perturbations gets the strong short-time splash. This splash interprets as a new macroscopic mechanism of the initial matter density perturbations appearance.展开更多

The results show that the ensemble forecast members generated by the orthogonal CNOPs present large spreads but tend to be located on the two sides of real tropical cyclone(TC) tracks and have good agreements between ensemble spreads and ensemble-mean forecast errors for TC tracks. Subsequently, these members reflect more reasonable forecast uncertainties and enhance the orthogonal CNOPs–based ensemble-mean forecasts to obtain higher skill for TC tracks than the orthogonal SVs(singular vectors)–, BVs(bred vectors)– and RPs(random perturbations)–based ones. The results indicate that orthogonal CNOPs of smaller magnitudes should be adopted to construct the initial ensemble perturbations for short lead–time forecasts, but those of larger magnitudes should be used for longer lead–time forecasts due to the effects of nonlinearities. The performance of the orthogonal CNOPs–based ensemble-mean forecasts is case-dependent,which encourages evaluating statistically the forecast skill with more TC cases. Finally, the results show that the ensemble forecasts with only initial perturbations in this work do not increase the forecast skill of TC intensity, which may be related with both the coarse model horizontal resolution and the model error.展开更多

We say that T is left(resp. right) Browder if it is left(resp. right)Fredholm and has a finite ascent(resp. descent). In this paper, we analyze the stability of the left(resp. right) Fredholm and the left(resp. right) Browder linear relations under commuting Riesz operator perturbations. Recent results of Zivkovic et al. to the case of bounded operators are covered.
文摘In a cyber-physical micro-grid system,wherein the control functions are executed through open communication channel,stability is an important issue owing to the factors related to the time-delay encountered in the data transfer.Transfer of feedback variable as discrete data packets in communication network invariably introduces inevitable time-delays in closed loop control systems.This delay,depending upon the network traffic condition,inherits a time-varying characteristic;nevertheless,it adversely impacts the system performance and stability.The load perturbations in a micro-grid system are considerably influenced by the presence of fluctuating power generators like wind and solar power.Since these non-conventional energy sources are integrated into the power grid through power electronic interface circuits that usually works at high switching frequency,noise signals are introduced into the micro-grid system and these signals gets super-imposed to the load variations.Based on this back ground,in this paper,the delay-dependent stability issue of networked micro-grid system combined with time-varying feedback loop delay and uncertain load perturbations is investigated,and a deeper insight has been presented to infer the impact of time-delay on the variations in the system frequency.The classical Lyapunov-Krasovskii method is employed to address the problem,and using a standard benchmark micro-grid system,and the proposed stability criterion is validated.

文摘Wavelike perturbations in the ionosphere of Titan,the largest satellite of Saturn,are explored based on the Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer(INMS)measurements.Strong wavelike perturbations are identified for more than twenty ion species,from simple ones such as N^(+)and CH_(4)^(+)to complex ones such as C_(2)H_(3)CNH^(+)and C_(4)H_(7)^(+).Simultaneous wavelike perturbations in background N_(2),indicative of atmospheric gravity waves,are also observed,motivating us to speculate that the INMS-derived ion perturbations are wave-driven.The amplitudes of the ion perturbations are found to be larger than that of the N_(2)perturbations.Clear compositional variation is revealed by the data:heavier ion species exhibit greater amplitudes.Such observations might be understood based on considerations either of force balance or chemical loss in Titan’s ionosphere.

文摘A moditied Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approach is used to determine the complex normal-mode frequencies of external perturbations in generalized Schwarzschild geometry. In the λ= 1 case (Schwarzschild geometry), the agreement with other methods is excellent for the low-lying modes. On the contrary, the λ ≠ 1 case of this geometry is unstable against external perturbations.

文摘Resonant magnetic perturbations(RMPs) are extensively applied to mitigate or suppress the edge localized mode in tokamak plasmas, but will break the axisymmetric magnetic field configuration and increase the loss of energetic ions. The mechanism of RMPs induced energetic ion loss has been extensively studied, and is mainly attributed to resonant effects. In this paper,in the perturbed non-axisymmetric tokamak pedestal, we analytically derive the equations of guiding center motion for energetic ions including the bounce/transit averaged radial drift velocity and the toroidal precession frequency modified by strong radial electric field. The loss time of energetic ions is numerically solved and its parametric dependence is analyzed in detail.We find that passing energetic ions cannot escape from the plasma, while deeply trapped energetic ions can escape from the plasma. The strong radial electric field plays an important role in modifying the toroidal precession frequency and resulting in the drift loss of trapped energetic ions. The loss time of trapped energetic ions is much smaller than the corresponding slowdown time in DIII-D pedestal. This indicates that the loss of trapped energetic ions in the perturbed non-axisymmetric pedestal is important, especially for the trapped energetic ions generated by perpendicular neutral beam injection.

文摘This paper investigates the problem of delay-dependent robust stability analysis for a class of neutral systems with interval time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Such nonlinear perturbations are with time-varying but norm-bounded characteristics. Based on a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional together with a free-weighting matrices technique,improved delay-dependent stability criteria are established. It is shown that less conservative results can be obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities( LMIs). Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed approach.
文摘Effect of flow rate perturbations has been studied using the modified computer program CPAIR-P for time dependent corrosion rates in Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) having extended cycles. In these simulations, a decrease in the corresponding saturation values of corrosion product activity (CPA) is observed for higher pH values. Comparison of CPA’s behavior has been done for constant flow-rate case as well as for transients with elevated 10B levels (~40%) in dissolved boric acid in coolant in two operating cycles. When the flow rate is decreased in the first cycle, the saturation value of CPA attains new higher values. Also, in the second operating cycle, the saturation values are about 12% higher when compared with the values in the first cycle.
文摘We extend standard linear perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole by Chandrasekhar to Bondi frame by transforming both even and odd parity perturbations when angular momentum l = 2.
文摘For deeper understanding the process of baryonic matter evolution in the expanding Universe it is necessary to know the physical property of concrete field that represents the background of substrate type of dark energy. Beside, it is necessary to explore in details the influence of such field on the continuous medium of baryonic matter. These statements were realized for the quintessence field that describes by two gravitating scalar fields. They give own contributions at the total pressure and at the total mass density of baryonic matter. It allowed show that evolution of baryonic matter’s density perturbations obeys the equation of forced oscillations and admits the resonance case, when amplitude of baryonic matter’s density perturbations gets the strong short-time splash. This splash interprets as a new macroscopic mechanism of the initial matter density perturbations appearance.

文摘This paper preliminarily investigates the application of the orthogonal conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations(CNOPs)–based ensemble forecast technique in MM5(Fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model). The results show that the ensemble forecast members generated by the orthogonal CNOPs present large spreads but tend to be located on the two sides of real tropical cyclone(TC) tracks and have good agreements between ensemble spreads and ensemble-mean forecast errors for TC tracks. Subsequently, these members reflect more reasonable forecast uncertainties and enhance the orthogonal CNOPs–based ensemble-mean forecasts to obtain higher skill for TC tracks than the orthogonal SVs(singular vectors)–, BVs(bred vectors)– and RPs(random perturbations)–based ones. The results indicate that orthogonal CNOPs of smaller magnitudes should be adopted to construct the initial ensemble perturbations for short lead–time forecasts, but those of larger magnitudes should be used for longer lead–time forecasts due to the effects of nonlinearities. The performance of the orthogonal CNOPs–based ensemble-mean forecasts is case-dependent,which encourages evaluating statistically the forecast skill with more TC cases. Finally, the results show that the ensemble forecasts with only initial perturbations in this work do not increase the forecast skill of TC intensity, which may be related with both the coarse model horizontal resolution and the model error.
