东海及其邻域壳－幔结构与展布特征

莫霍面是地壳和上地幔的分界面，是个重要的密度界面，东海莫霍面的展布特征，对于研究东海深部构造具有重要意义.利用最新重力异常数据反演莫霍面深度，结合前人的莫霍面深度结果，分析东海及其邻域的壳－幔结构与展布特征.从莫霍面深度图可见东海及其邻域莫霍面起伏变化很大，深度在12～34 km之间变化，东海及其邻域地壳厚度为6～34km，东海陆架地区地壳厚度变化与大陆地区相比并不明显，显著减薄开始于冲绳海槽地区，琉球岛弧处地壳厚度明显再度增加，莫霍面呈现两凹两凸形态，认为东海及其邻域地壳自西而东从陆壳－过渡壳－洋壳逐渐过渡的.     

冲绳海槽及其邻域地球物理场与地壳结构特征

分析了冲绳海槽及其邻域的重、磁场特征，同时对研究区域的布格重力数据进行了上延拓及二次垂直导数计算．根据分析与计算可知，在冲绳海槽及其周边区域，重磁异常的主要走向为NNE向，重、磁场的分布特征表明冲绳海槽及邻域地球物理场变化复杂，变化幅度大．参考地震解释结果，利用重力资料，应用调和级数法对研究区的莫霍界面进行了反演计算，得到了该地区莫霍界面深度分布，计算表明冲绳海槽及邻域地区莫霍界面深度在28-4km之间变化，地壳厚度自西向东逐渐减薄，显示出陆壳-过渡壳-洋壳的转变过程．     

冲绳海槽南部基底构造特征

利用最新的重磁数据对冲绳海槽南部的基底构造进行了推断解释,研究表明,在冲绳海槽南部,莫霍面构造为一南北两端高,中间低的鞍状构造,地壳厚度在15.5~21 km之间变化.基底深度一般在4~6 km之间变化,表现为南段深度大,北段深度小,在北西向断裂系的作用下,基底局部构造大都成北西向展布,说明冲绳海槽早期的北东向带状构造受到了后期的北西向构造活动的强烈改造作用.在冲绳海槽南部发育有两条沿北北东向展布的火成岩带,一条分布在冲绳海槽扩张轴以东及琉球岛弧西侧下坡;另一条分布在冲绳海槽与琉球岛弧隆褶带的结合部位,火成岩主要是由北东向构造活动产生的,而与北西向断裂关系不密切.     

东海及邻域的两条剖面地球物理反演与综合解释

根据东海及邻域的布格重力异常资料,在东海海域选择了中国大陆东部—东海陆架—冲绳海槽—琉球岛弧—琉球海沟的两条剖面。利用广义逆方法对两条剖面进行重力和磁力反演,结合其它地震等地球物理及地质资料,对剖面的地壳结构进行了综合研究,给出了相应的地质解释．在此基础上,对东海陆架盆地、冲绳海槽盆地的成因与性质,以及应力作用情况进行了探讨,认为冲绳海槽地壳的纵向结构是一种“二元结构”;沟—弧—盆受的主应力方向为NW向;该区平面上地质地球物理现象的分块分带与纵向上的二元构成根本原因与菲律宾海板块和欧亚板块聚敛俯冲方向有关,还与两板块接触部位形状有关．     

冲绳海槽海底地形地貌界限特征及影响因素

基于多源数据资料,揭示了冲绳海槽海底地形地貌特征.提出确定大陆坡折点、大陆坡脚点、中轴点和最深点的计算方法.通过对48条横穿大陆坡的剖面的计算,确定了东海大陆坡折点及连线、大陆坡脚点及连线;通过对39条横穿冲绳海槽轴部地形剖面的计算和综合分析确定了冲绳海槽最深点、中轴点及连线.大陆坡折线是陆架与陆坡的分界线,东海大陆坡折线总体位于200 m水深,在海槽北段至中段连续,在海槽南段跳跃.大陆坡脚线是陆坡与海槽底部的分界线,其水深自冲绳海槽北向南逐渐加深,南部大陆坡被海底峡谷强烈切割,导致大陆坡脚点分布复杂.横穿海槽北部、中部和南部的地形剖面分别呈现为W型、复合W型及U型特征,导致中轴点在海槽中部与北部多分布在海山峰及线性海山脊,在南部多分布于雁行洼地中央,由中轴点形成的中轴线是冲绳海槽东西向分界线,也表明海槽是东海大陆架向东延伸的天然分隔.海平面波动、海底峡谷影响了大陆坡折线和大陆坡脚线分布,构造和沉积控制了中轴线的分布.

东海及琉球沟弧盆系的海底热流测量与热流分布

利用钻井资料获得了东海陆架地区15个热流值，分析了海底热流测量的误差来源及数据精度，对东海及琉球沟弧盆系的热流值进行了分类整理，将海底热流分为可信热流值、较可信热流值和参考热流值，本文使用了前两类热流数据，共得305个，对研究区的热流站位进行了分析，发现热流测站分布很不均匀，冲绳海槽几个高热流异常区的热流测站总数占全部东海热流测站的一半多，仍有相当一些构造单元热流站住很少或者几乎没有热流值，总体上，研究区的热流分布明显地和沟弧盆系的构造特征相吻合，呈现北东向条带状分布，东海陆架为正常热流值区，冲绳海槽为高热流异常区，琉球群岛为正常热流值区，琉球海沟和菲律宾海都为低热流异常值区，根据热流推测冲绳海槽下存在深部热物质上拱，琉球海沟垭口之下存在海洋板块的俯冲，本研究区自东向西初步表现出长波长热流振荡现象，但由于测量数据稀少，目前还不能对此作更进一步的研究。

On the synchronism in the events within the core and on the surface of the earth: the changes in the organic world and in the polarity of the geomagnetic field in the phanerozoic

The data on geomagnetic reversals are compared with the changes in the organic world and with the lower-mantle plumes. The times of the formation of plumes and the times of their appearance on the Earth’s surface relate to the intervals characterized by the different frequencies of geomagnetic reversals, i.e., there is no interrelation between the formation of plumes and the frequency of the changes in the geomagnetic field polarity. At the same time, a certain synchronism is observed between the frequency of the geomagnetic reversals and the boundaries of the biostratigraphic ages, i.e., the changes in the organic world in the long-period range. A hypothesis is proposed, which explains the change in the sign of the geomagnetic field by the combined effect of the irregular rotation of the internal core relative to the mantle and the changes in the slope angle of the axis of the Earth’s rotation, which, in turn, results in synchronous events on the Earth’s surface: the rates of changes in the organic world.     

On the maintenance of the axisymmetric part of the flow in the atmosphere

Summary The maintenance of the axisymmetric component of the flow in the atmosphere is investigated by means of a steady-state, quasi-geostrophic formulation of the meteorological equations. It is shown that the meridional variations in the time-averaged axisymmetric variables can be expressed as the sum of three contributions, one being due to the eddy heat transport, another to the eddy momentum transport, and a third to the convective-radiative equilibrium temperature which enters the problem through the specification of a Newtonian form of diabatic heating. The contributions by the large scale eddies are evaluated through the use of observed values for the eddy heat and momentum transports.The contributions from each of the three forcing mechanisms to the temperature and zonal wind fields are invstigated individually and found to be of about equal importance. The sum of the three contributions are also presented for the temperature, the zonal wind, the stream function associated with the mean meridional circulation and the corresponding vertical motion. Although the results fail to reproduce the main observed features of the lower stratosphere, they are found to be in good agreement with observations in the middle latitude troposphere. At any pressure level, for example, the computed mean zonal wind has a jet-like profile and the axis of the jet is found to slope to the south with height, as observed in the atmosphere.Based in part on a thesis submitted by the first author as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. — Publication No. 194 from the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, The University of Michigan.     

On the gravimetric undulations of the geoid and the deflections of the vertical

Summary The author mentions the aims of the World-wide gravity project he established in the Ohio State University in Columbus, in 1950. He outlines the practical procedure of the gravimetric computations of the undulationsN and the vertical deflection components and and emphasizes that only by the global international cooperation and additional gravity observations at sea carried out during the last decade it has been possible to gather to Columbus the needed gravity material. Since there exist still large gravimetrically unsurveyed areas it is of vital significance to study what gravity anomalies are best to be used for these regions. The given figures concerning the accuracy of theN, and , estimated theoretically and obtained in practice, indicate that in the gravimetrically well surveyed parts of the world like in Europe and the United States we can get gravimetrically on basis of existing gravity material theN-values with accuracy of about 5–10 meters, and and with the accuracy of about 1. The geoid undulationsN are already computed in Columbus for more than 6000 points of the northern hemisphere. The sample maps show the interesting geoid of Europe and vicinity between the latitudes 60° and 30° and longitude 5° W and 30° E, drafted on basis of more than 1000N-values computed at the corners of 1°×1° squares. It is interesting to realize that the geoid undulations in all this area are positive, the extreme values being between 40 and 50 meters. The geophysical significance of the geoid maps of this kind is pointed out.

Magnetic stratigraphy of the Ordovician in the lower reach of the Kotuy River: the age of the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum and the rate of geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the superchron

Until recently, the existing data prevented the geophysicists from accurately dating the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, which outcrops in the middle reach of the Kotuy River, constraining the time of its formation to a wide interval from the end of the Late Cambrian to the beginning of the Silurian. The obtained paleomagnetic data unambiguously correlate the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum to the Nyaian regional stage and constrain its formation, at least a considerable part of it, by the Tremadocian. This result perfectly agrees with the data on the Bysy-Yuryakh conodonts studied in this work and yields a spectacular example of the successful application of paleomagnetic studies in solving important tasks of stratigraphy and, correspondingly, petroleum geology. Within the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, we revealed a large normal-polarity interval corresponding to the long (>1 Ma) period when the geomagnetic reversals were absent. This result, in combination with the data for the Tremadocian and Middle–Upper Cambrian sequences of the other regions, indicates that (1) the rate of occurrence of the geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the Ordovician Moyero superchron of reversed polarity was at most one reversal per Ma; (2) the superchron does not switch on instantaneously but is preceded by a certain gradual change in the operation conditions of the dynamo mechanism which, inter alia, manifests itself by the reduction of the frequency of geomagnetic reversals with the approach of the superchron. This finding supports the views according to which a process preparing the establishment of the superchrons takes place at the core–mantle boundary.     

On the variation in the geomagnetic dipole over the geological history of the Earth

The global database on the paleointensity, containing determinations of the virtual dipole moment (VDM) for a stable (normal) regime of the geomagnetic field in a time interval of up to 3.5 Ga, is supplemented by new VDM determinations and analyzed. The field generation process started no later than 3–3.5 Ga (earlier data are absent) at the stage of the Earth’s core formation. Since that time, the dipole value has differed from its present value by no more than an order of magnitude, and the deviations that have already been detected tend toward smaller values. The distribution of VDM values in the time interval 0–400 Ma is bimodal, which apparently reflects the presence of two different generation levels of the geomagnetic field distinguished by a relatively large value (close to the present field value) and a relatively small value (approximately half as large as the present value). The total duration of decreased VDM values appreciably exceeds that of increased VDM values (179.1 and 28.6 Myr, respectively). On the whole, data on the paleointensity do not contradict the hypothesis about the dipole nature of the field over the last 400 Myr; however, the number of determinations at high paleolatitudes is too small to draw decisive conclusions on the validity (or invalidity) of the dipole field approximation based solely on paleointensity data.     

Comparison Between the Nutations of the Planet Mars and the Nutations of the Earth

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth.
