Beside the GPS traditional application for precise geodesy, the GPS system has proved to be a powerful tool in atmospheric studies, such as climatology and meteorology. During 1999, at the Space Geodesy Center (CGS) of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) an operative and automatic system was developed in order to produce GPS tropospheric parameters on a daily basic for the Italian GPS permanent stations. In this work the operational processing of the GPS data is described. Moreover, the validation of the GPS tropospheric parameters through a comparison with other independent GPS solutions as well as independent techniques is presented. The GPS internal validation of zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) shows a bias of 5 mm (absolute values) and a standard deviation ranging from 4 to 20 mm. For a few stations a comparison is performed between the GPS derived precipitable water vapor (PWV) and both the one computed using the MM5 and the one measured by the water vapor radiometer (WVR) and radiosondes (RAOB). The agreement between GPS and MM5 is within the range of 2–7 mm; for GPS, WVR and RAOB the standard deviation ranges from 0.85 to 1.62 mm.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101024,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part A: Solid Earth and Geodesy","volume":"26 3","pages":"Pages 139-145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1464-1895(01)00037-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91632879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atmospheres I simulate contain the turbulent behavior sumperimposed on systematic changes to the IWV that might be associated with the passage of fronts.

An oblique successive rock sequence of the continental lower crust in the northern part of the craton has been recognized. Nearby this metamorphic terrane, some xenoliths of granulites in Cenozoic basalts are reported to represent the recent lower crust. Therefore, it is possible to establish a typical Precambrian continental lower crust cross-section in the North China craton to understand features of the lower crust.</p><p>This exposed cross-section of lower crust can be divided into five layers from south (lowermost crust) to north (upper-lower crust) by faults. Along the section northward, the metamorphic grade gradually decreases from high-pressure granulite facies, middle-pressure granulite facies, middle-low-pressure granulite facies to amphibolite facies. The metamorphic pressures of these five layers are, respectively, 12 to 14 kbar, 9 kbar, 7 to 8 kbar, 6 kbar and 5 kbar. The petrological compositions of the five layers show a change from gabbroic granulites, intermediate-felsic orthogneiss to metamorphosed supracrustal rocks. Geochemically, the lowermost crust (gabbro) and lower crust (intermediate-acid orthogneiss) are relatively poorer in Si and Al compared to the middle-lower crust and upper-lower crust. The cross-section demonstrates a depletion trend of heat-producing elements and some large ion lithophile elements, such as decreasing abundance of Th, U, K, Rb and Sr from the upper-lower crust to the lowermost crust.

These Mesozoic igneous rocks have been classified into three associations: Na-enriched (alkaline mafic) association, K-enriched association which includes shoshonitic series and ultrapotassic rocks, and high potassium calc-alkaline (HKCA) association. The HKCA association has been further divided into three geographical sub-groups: the rocks north to, along and south to the Yangtze River.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Na-enriched mafic rocks show ε&lt;sub&gt;Nd&lt;/sub&gt;(T) of 1.4 to −9.9 and &lt;sup&gt;87&lt;/sup&gt;Sr/&lt;sup&gt;86&lt;/sup&gt;Sr(T) of 0.7047 to 0.7077.

Low SiO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; in the rocks suggests that they are mantle-derived. These Nd-Sr isotopic variations may represent isotopic feature in the mantle source of these rocks. The Mesozoic mantle of this region is thus enriched to slightly depleted and highly heterogeneous in terms of Sr and Nd isotopic characteristics. The isotopic characters of the Mesozoic mantle of the region can be modeled by mixing between DMM component representing asthenospheric mantle and EM II representing lithospheric mantle. These characters closely resemble those of mafic and ultramafic rocks in the North Dabie terrane north to the region studied. This suggests that processes operating during continental collision and deep subduction in the Dabie orogenic belt might also operate in petrogenesis of mantle-derived rocks of the Lower Yangtze region. However, since the range of initial Sr and Nd isotopic ratios for the mantle-derived rocks in the Lower Yangtze region overlaps that of Mesozoic basalts from the eastern coast of China, it is yet not known if this is a prevalent phenomenon in the Mesozoic basalts from eastern China.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The intermediate and acid rocks of the HKCA association were most likely derived from mixing between the mantle-derived mafic magma and different crustal sources.

The low ε&lt;sub&gt;Nd&lt;/sub&gt;(T) and &lt;sup&gt;87&lt;/sup&gt;Sr/&lt;sup&gt;86&lt;/sup&gt;Sr(T) suggest that a crustal source of old and depleted in Rb, such as the source of the Mesozoic granites from the Dabie terrain, was involved in the formation of this sub-group of rocks.

It is a principal element in the thermodynamics of the atmosphere, it transports latent heat, it contributes to absorption and emission in a n umber of bands and it condenses into clouds that reflect and adsorb solar radiation, thus directly affecting the energy balance. In the lower atmosphere, the water vapour concentrations can vary by orders of magnitude from place to place. This variability creates a fundamental problem in climate modelling due to the very high temporal and spatial resolution needed to resolve all processes creating the sharp gradients which are related to the variability. The contribution of water vapour to atmospheric phenomena on different time and space scales for today's and future climates are discussed as well as the importance of water vapour monitoring. The latter is a prerequisite for model validation and an important contribution to the understanding of the behaviour of the atmosphere. It is shown that only the validation of more than one component of the hydrological cycle leads to a better understanding and an improvement of the simulations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101024,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part A: Solid Earth and Geodesy","volume":"26 6","pages":"Pages 523-527"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1464-1895(01)00094-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79607586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
