Relative Location of Explosions Using Surface Waves
A method of relative location for explosions using Rayleigh waves is developed and tested. It involves cross correlating a wavetrain with a previously recorded signal from the same source region and &?.t&mining a relative "travel-time" from the peak in the -ross correlation trace. Locations are fairly accurate, but do not compare with the precision obtained with body waves and relative travel-t...
متن کاملBifurcation Analysis for Surface Waves Generated by Wind
We study the generation of surface waves on water as a bifurcation phenomenon. For a critical wind-speed there appear traveling wave solutions. While linear waves do not transport mass (in the mean), nonlinear effects create a shear-flow and result in a net mass transport in the direction of the wind. We derive an asymptotic formula for the average tangential velocity along the free surface. Nu...
متن کاملSolitary water waves of large amplitude generated by surface pressure
We consider exact nonlinear solitary water waves on a shear flow with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. Ignoring surface tension, we impose a non-constant pressure on the free surface. Starting from a uniform shear flow with a flat free surface and a supercritical wave speed, we vary the surface pressure and use a continuation argument to construct a global connected set of symmetric soli...
متن کاملGenetic risk induced by carbon-14 generated by nuclear explosions.
In an earlier paper by Linus Pauling titled "Genetic and Somatic Effects of Carbon-14" (1), it is established that this by-product of nuclear explosions might induce greater genetic and somatic damage than previously assumed. Furthermore, Pauling states that the damage produced by carbon-14 that is incorporated into genetic material is responsible for only 10% of the total genetic damage genera...
متن کاملSeed magnetic fields generated by primordial supernova explosions
The origin of the magnetic field in galaxies is an open question in astrophysics. Several mechanisms have been proposed related, in general, to the generation of small seed fields amplified by a dynamo mechanism. In general, these mechanisms have difficulty in satisfying both the requirements of a sufficiently high strength for the magnetic field and the necessary large coherent scales. We show...
