    Description: We used remote-sensing and in situ measurements of surface accumulation rate, ice surface velocity, thickness and elevation to evaluate the mass budgets of grounded ice-flow regimes that form the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf system. Three distinct drainage regimes are considered: the western and eastern margins of the ice shelf, and the southern grounding line at the major outlet glacier confluence, which can be identified with drainage zones 9, 11 and 10 respectively of Giovinetto and Zwally (2000). Our findings show the entire grounded portion of the basin is approximately in balance, with a mass budget of -4.2_9.8 Gt a-1. Drainages 9, 10 and 11 are within balance to the level of our measurement uncertainty, with mass budgets of -2.5_2.8 Gt a-1, -2.6_7.8 Gt a-1 and 0.9_2.3 Gt a-1, respectively. The region upstream of the Australian Lambert Glacier basin (LGB) traverse has a net mass budget of 4.4_6.3 Gt a-1, while the downstream region has -8.9_9.9 Gt a-1. These results indicate that glacier drainages 9, 10 and 11, upstream and downstream of the Australian LGB traverse, are in balance to within our measurement error.

    Description: The temporal and spatial variability of the annual accumulation rate and the mass budgets of five sub-basins of the Lambert GlacierAmery Ice Shelf system (LAS), East Antarctica, at high elevations are assessed using a variety of datasets derived from field measurements and modeling. The annual temporal variations of the accumulation rate for four cores from the west and east sides of the LAS are around ±34%. Decadal fluctuation of the accumulation from the DT001 firn core drops to ±10%, and the 30 year fluctuation to ±5%, which is assumed to contain the information about the regional and long-term trend in accumulation. The 15-point running mean of the annual accumulation rate derived from stake measurements can remove most of the high-frequency spatial variation so as to better represent the local accumulation. Model simulations show that the spatial variability of erosion/ deposition of snow by the wind has a noticeable impact on the surface mass balance at the higher parts of the LAS. Mass-budget estimates at high-elevation sub-basins of the LAS suggest drainage 9 has a negative imbalance of 0.7±0.4 Gt a1, Lambert and Mellor Glaciers have a positive imbalance of 3.9±2.1 and 2.1±2.4 Gt a1 respectively, and Fisher Glacier and drainage 11 are approximately in balance. The higher-elevation region as a whole has a positive mass imbalance of 4.4±6.3 Gt a1, which is consistent with the most recent radar altimetry assessment that shows an overall thickening over this region.

    Description: We present Bedmap2, a new suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-thickness and the seafloor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic south of 60� S. We derived these products using data from a variety of sources, including many substantial surveys completed since the original Bedmap compilation (Bedmap1) in 2001. In particular, the Bedmap2 ice thickness grid is made from 25 million measurements, over two orders of magnitude more than were used in Bedmap1. In most parts of Antarctica the subglacial landscape is visible in much greater detail than was previously available and the improved datacoverage has in many areas revealed the full scale of mountain ranges, valleys, basins and troughs, only fragments of which were previously indicated in local surveys. The derived statistics for Bedmap2 show that the volume of ice contained in the Antarctic ice sheet (27 million km3) and its potential contribution to sea-level rise (58 m) are similar to those of Bedmap1, but the mean thickness of the ice sheet is 4.6% greater, the mean depth of the bed beneath the grounded ice sheet is 72m lower and the area of ice sheet grounded on bed below sea level is increased by 10 %. The Bedmap2 compilation highlights several areas beneath the ice sheet where the bed elevation is substantially lower than the deepest bed indicated by Bedmap1. These products, along with grids of data coverage and uncertainty, provide new opportunities for detailed modelling of the past and future evolution of the Antarctic ice sheets.

    Description: Chinese scientists will start to drill a deep ice core at Kunlun station near Dome A in the near future. Recent work has predicted that Dome A is a location where ice older than 1 million years can be found. We model flow, temperature and the age of the ice by applying a three-dimensional, thermomechanically coupled full-Stokes model to a 70 × 70 km2 domain around Kunlun station, using isotropic non-linear rheology and different prescribed anisotropic ice fabrics that vary the evolution from isotropic to single maximum at 1/3 or 2/3 depths. The variation in fabric is about as important as the uncertainties in geothermal heat flux in determining the vertical advection which in consequence controls both the basal temperature and the age profile. We find strongly variable basal ages across the domain since the ice varies greatly in thickness, and any basal melting effectively removes very old ice in the deepest parts of the subglacial valleys. Comparison with dated radar isochrones in the upper one third of the ice sheet cannot sufficiently constrain the age of the deeper ice, with uncertainties as large as 500 000 years in the basal age. We also assess basal age and thermal state sensitivities to geothermal heat flux and surface conditions. Despite expectations of modest changes in surface height over a glacial cycle at Dome A, even small variations in the evolution of surface conditions cause large variation in basal conditions, which is consistent with basal accretion features seen in radar surveys.

    Notes: The scattering of high vibrationally excited sodium molecules Na2(v=31) with Ne atoms at 180 meV collision energy is investigated in a crossed molecular beam arrangement using laser optical methods. Angularly resolved rotationally inelastic and vibrationally elastic cross sections ji→jf are measured for ji =5, 7, and 9≤jf ≤25. Pronounced rotational rainbow maxima are observed, the angular position of which indicates a significantly larger anisotropy of the interaction potential compared to that of Na2(v=0)–Ne. Except for the increase of the anisotropy the vibrational excitation has little effect on the dynamics of rotational energy transfer. Good agreement with a new semiempirical Na2–Ne potential surface V(r,R,γ) is found.

    Notes: This article is about physical foundation of the microwave plasma ion source. The expressions to describe some physical regulations are given. The results show that the source is operated in the optimum state under the condition of electron cyclotron resonance (ωz=ω). This theory can also be applied to the microwave plasma cathode.

    Notes: The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of a doped weakly coupled GaAs/AlAs superlattice (SL) with narrow barriers are measured under hydrostatic pressure from 1 bar to 13.5 kbar at both 77 and 300 K. The experimental results show that, contrary to the results in SL with wide barriers, the plateau in the I–V curve at 77 K does not shrink with increasing pressure, and becomes wider after 10.5 kbar. It is explained by the fact that the EΓ1–EΓ1 resonance peak is higher than the EΓ1–EX1 resonance peak. At 300 K, however, because of the more important contribution of the nonresonant component to the current, the plateau shrinks with increasing pressure. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this article, by solving the nonlinear envelope equation of the intense beam in the cylindrical coordinate system, we have obtained the varying relations of the beam radius and the beam divergent angle with the paramedics (the magnetic induction strength in solenoid lens, the characteristic quantity of beam intensity, the beam emittance, the initial beam radius, and initial beam divergent angle). By theoretical analysis for the relations, we have obtained the beam peak radius and beam peak position in solenoid lens, the beam waist radius and beam waist position in the case of perfect focusing. In the ideal focusing condition, the radius of intense beam solenoid lens should not be less than the beam peak radius; the length of the solenoid lens must not be less than the beam peak position; and in order to gain optimum focusing, an optimal length should be selected; the magnetic induction strength must not be less than the threshold for getting a focusing beam through solenoid lens, and its optimum value should be selected so as to obtain the minimum value of beam divergent angle at the exit port for getting an perfect focusing output beam. The conclusions in this article have some guiding significance for the design and operation of the intense beam solenoid magnetic lens.© 1999 American Institute of Physics.
