Avaliação da composição modal dinâmica do interior geostrófico dos oceanos / Evaluation of the modal composition of the ocean\'s geostrophic interior

Lucas Cardoso Laurindo 01 April 2011 (has links)
Este trabalho avalia a importância relativa dosmodos dinâmicos na composição da estrutura vertical do fluxo geostrófico e de suas anomalias em relação à média, com o objetivo de fornecer uma descrição das formas de estratificação predominantes na coluna de água e de identificar prováveis regiões de ocorrência de ondas de Rossby planetárias (OR) dos diversos modos dinâmicos. Raios de deformação internos são estimados para avaliar a possibilidade de interações não-lineares entre OR e as alterações da estratificação local forçadas por sua própria passagem. A análise proposta baseia-se em dados de densidade estimados a partir de perfis verticais de salinidade climatológicos aliados a perfis sintéticos de temperatura. Estes últimos são extrapolados verticalmente a partir de dados orbitais da temperatura da superfície do mar (TSM) e da anomalia da altura da superfície livre (h), segundo um método de reconstrução estatística desenvolvido para este estudo. O primeiro modo baroclínico é dominante tanto no fluxo total quanto em suas anomalias, respondendo em média por 30% da estrutura vertical de velocidade, sendo que este valor descresce aproximadamente por uma razão de três em modos superiores. O segundo modo é significativo ou mesmo dominante em algumas regiões, particularmente em latitudes próximas ao equador. O terceiro é evidente em algumas áreas localizadas, mas não assume papéis importantes em escala de bacia. O modo 0 responde por frações de 6 a 9%, mas é provável que estes resultados sejam subestimados pela metodologia aplicada. Anomalias verticais relacionadas ao primeiro modo coincidem com regiões onde OR longas do primeiro modo tem maior expressão, enquanto o segundo modo parece ser um marcador de OR curtas e ondas de instabilidade tropical. Fenômenos transientes associados ao terceiro modo são observados em áreas restritas dos três oceanos. A magnitude das variações dos raios internos em resposta à fenômenos transientes em algumas regiões implicam em variações significativas na velocidade de fase teórica de OR longas lineares, um indício de que efeitos não-lineares podem ser importantes. Por fim, amplificações da importância do modo barotrópico sobre feições topográficas significativas sugere a existência de mecanismos de transferência de energia entre modos dinâmicos induzidas pela interação com a batimetria. / This study evaluates the relative importance of the dynamical modes in the composition of the geostrophic flow and of its anomalies from the long-term average, respectively seeking to determine the dominant vertical stratification structures of the water column and to identify regions where planetary Rossby waves (RW) of different dynamical modes may most likely occur. The baroclinic Rossby radii of deformation are estimated to evaluate the possibility of nonlinear interactions between RWand changes of the local stratification forced by the wave\'s passing. This analysis is based on density data estimated from climatological salinity profiles and synthetic temperature profiles. The latter are vertically extrapolated for sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height anomaly (h) satellite data, using a statistical reconstruction method developed in this study. The first baroclinic mode dominates both the total geostrophic flow and its anomalies, accounting for 30% of the velocity\'s vertical structure on average, where this value decreases approximately by a factor of 3 in subsequent baroclinic orders. The second mode is significant or even dominant in some areas, particularly near the equator. The third mode is evident in some localized regions, but can be ignored at basin-scales. The barotropic mode accounts for 6 to 9% fractions on average, however these values are probably underestimated by the used methods. Vertical anomalies related to the first baroclinic mode coincide with regions where long RWs answers for a significant fraction of local variance, while the second mode highlights zones where short RWs and tropical instability waves are reported. Transient phenomena related with the third mode are observed in comparatively small areas on all three oceans. The magnitude of the baroclinic radii\'s variations in response of the transient variability results in significant changes of the theorethical phase speed for long linear RWs, an evidence that nonlinear effects may be important. Lastly, the greater significance of the barotropic mode over proeminent bottom features suggests the existence of energy transfer mechanisms between dynamical modes triggered by the interaction with the bathymetry.

Etude de la propagation Air - Sol - Air pour la création de modèles de canaux : Application au développement d’un banc pou r la caractérisation de radioaltimètres à pente asservie / Air-Ground-Air propagation channel study for the creation of channel models : Application to the development of a propagation channel emulator designed

Paris, André 15 December 2016 (has links)
Ces travaux portent sur l'étude et le développement d'un système de caractérisation de radioaltimètres. La propagation Air-Sol-Air, contexte particulier du canal de propagation aéronautique adaptée aux radioaltimètres, est étudiée et modélisée. Une approche hybride basée sur le lancer de rayon et les fonctions de distribution de la réflectance bidirectionnelle est proposée pour le développement d'un simulateur de canal de propagation dédié aux radioaltimètres. Les modèles issus de cet outil sont validés par confrontation à des essais en vol et une méthode de conditionnement des résultats est proposée pour les rendre utilisables dans un accumulateur de canaux de propagation temps réel. L'architecture matérielle et logicielle de celui-ci est détaillée dans ce manuscrit et son fonctionnement est validé par la mesure. / This thesis presents the study and the development of a radar-altimeter characterization tool. The Air-Ground-Air propagation channel is a specific context of the aeronautical channel applied to the radar-altimeters. A new hybrid method designed to the development of a channel simulator is described. This one is based upon ray tracing and bidirectionnal reflectance distribution functions and permits to obtain channel models validated by comparison with on flight measurements. A pre-conditioning method is also explained to make the channel models ready to be used in a real time channel emulator. The hardware and software architecture of this channel emulator is detailed in this book and its behavior is validated with laboratory measurements.

Aerospace - Futuristický kokpit moderního letounu / Aerospace - Futuristic Aircraft Cockpit Design

Bílek, Jan January 2010 (has links)
This work describes the visualization design of the flight related quantities in a cockpit of a modern light sport aircraft. It focuses on the utilization of the state of the art trends in flight data displays and introduces the innovative implementation of the aircraft's energy state smart clues that reduce pilots' workload. The initial part of the work presents a research into the flight, engine and navigation data presentation on analog instruments, followed by their illustrative depiction in glass cockpits. Within the framework of this thesis, Microsoft Flight Simulator has been used as a source of the flight related data. Final advances in the display design were introduced through the implementation of the synthetic vision system and a visualization of the virtual tunnel in the sky.
