霍山窗中小地震视应力的时空特征研究

利用安徽台网记录的2000—2016年数字化地震波形资料,对"霍山窗"地区视应力水平进行估计,反演分析得出视应力平均为0.010 8 MPa,以此作为该区域的背景应力水平;同时,通过对华东地区2000年以来符合震级和距离条件的地震进行时空特征分析,发现:(1)在"霍山窗"出现4组视应力高值异常之后的2年内,华东地区有3次发生了对应地震,以此推断"霍山窗"中小地震视应力水平与华东地区中强震可能存在着一定的对应关系;(2)"霍山窗"视应力空间分布显示高值区主要位于磨子潭-晓天断裂,靠近磨子潭-晓天断裂与落儿岭-土地岭断裂交汇区域,值得进一步关注。     

华东地区中等地震活动条带整体性迁移特征的研究

在较详细分析华东地区1970年以来中等地震活动规律的基础上,对华东地区中等地震活动条带及迁移规律进行了研究,发现该地区的中等地震活动具有由西向东的整体性迁移特征,其迁移速率约25 km/a,可能起源于地幔应力波.对华东地区而言,目前东部的北西向条带北部,是未来最有可能出现"关门"地震的区域.该项研究为地震趋势的判断提供了一种参考.     

赣北及邻区地震条带的视应力分析

对赣北及邻区2014年以来的地震条带及视应力进行了分析。结果表明:江西丰城—安徽蒙城2014年10月—2015年6月快速形成M_L≥3.0地震条带,地震条带及周边地区的视应力均值为0.49 MPa,条带上的地震视应力高于条带以西地区,低于条带以东的江苏北部地区。2009年4月以来江西瑞昌—南黄海出现M_L≥4.0地震条带,条带及周边地区的视应力均值为1.72 MPa,条带上的视应力水平高于条带外。视应力总体呈现随震级增大而增大的特点。     

华东地区测震学指标异常配套和中强震对应关系初探

本文分析了部分地震学指标的物理意义。通过对华东地区1970年以来14个指标的全时间扫描,并使用华东地区Ms≥5.0地震进行对应,结果表明,选取Rm值、b值和AC值进行同步异常分析,能显著提高华东地区的有震报震率,但有漏报。对目前华东地区异常集中区(南黄海及其沿岸地区)进行时间扫描,结果显示该异常集中区未出现同步异常,认为该区域短期内发生中强地震的可能性不大。     

云南地区地震视应变时空演变与强震发震地区的对应关系

在前人研究的基础上，利用云南及周边地区的地震资料，研究了1970年以来云南地区地震视应变场的分布和时空演化特征。结果表明，云南地区地震视应变的时空演变与强震具有较好的对应关系。在所研究的9个强震中，8个震前出现地震视应变异常区，5个发生在异常区内，3个发生在异常区附近。最后，对研究结果进行了初步论证。     

1970年以来华东地区地震活动主体区的迁移

在已有工作基础上，对华东地区1970年以来的地震活动特征从时序演化和空间分布两方面作了分析，发现该地区地震在时序上存在前后两个演化过程相似的活动时段，并在空间分布上有着较好的分区性，地震活动主体区域存在明显的迁移。该研究结果有助于华不地区今后地震趋势分析。     

华东地区M_L≥4.0地震平静预测意义分析

用统计学上的χ~2检验方法对华东地区M_L≥4.0地震平静进行了统计检验,得出在较高的置信概率下可以将平静时间T≥140天作为平静异常的判别标准。总结了华东地区自1970年以来出现的平静异常,并分析了其对应中强地震的情况。研究表明,M_L≥4.0地震平静异常是华东地区中强震前的一种普遍现象。62.5%的平静异常后发生了M_S≥4.5地震;绝大多数平静异常前存在着地震活动的增强过程,多次活动增强后连续发生了平静异常且之后发生了M_S≥5.0地震。     

应力调制在辽宁地区地震预报中的应用

应用应力调制图像法对辽宁地区1970年以来的21次ML≥5．0地震进行了检验。结果显示，有18次地震的震前出现了S值异常单元，虚报地震11次，漏报3次，R值评分0．58。     

地震视应力用于震后趋势快速判定的可能性

对多次强震的地震视应力进行了计算，将各次强震的地震视应力的高低与强震发生后的后续地震的强度进行联系，探索它们之间的关系，进而提出将地震视应力用于强震震后趋势预测的可能性。对多次强震的地震视应力与其后续地震强度的关系的分析结果表明，低视应力的强震的后续地震的强度一般较低，即低视应力的强震发生后，震区发生较强的后续地震的可能性较小。

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.     

Distribution of throughfall and stemflow in multi‐strata agroforestry,perennial monoculture,fallow and primary forest in central Amazonia,Brazil

The partitioning of rain water into throughfall, stemflow and interception loss when passing through plant canopies depends on properties of the respective plant species, such as leaf area and branch angles. In heterogeneous vegetation, such as tropical forest or polycultural systems, the presence of different plant species may consequently result in a mosaic of situations with respect to quantity and quality of water inputs into the soil. As these processes influence not only the water availability for the plants, but also water infiltration and nutrient leaching, the understanding of plant effects on the repartitioning of rain water may help in the optimization of land use systems and management practices. We measured throughfall and stemflow in a perennial polyculture (multi‐strata agroforestry), monocultures of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes) for fruit and for palmito, a monoculture of cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), spontaneous fallow and primary forest during one year in central Amazonia, Brazil. The effect on rain water partitioning was measured separately for four useful tree species in the polyculture and for two tree species in the primary forest. Throughfall at two stem distances, and stemflow, differed significantly between tree species, resulting in pronounced spatial patterns of water input into the soil in the polyculture system. For two tree species, peach palm for fruit (Bactris gasipaes) and Brazil nut trees (Bertholletia excelsa), the water input into the soil near the stem was significantly higher than the open‐area rainfall. This could lead to increased nutrient leaching when fertilizer is applied close to the stem of these trees. In the primary forest, such spatial patterns could also be detected, with significantly higher water input near a palm (Oenocarpus bacaba) than near a dicotyledonous tree species (Eschweilera sp.). Interception losses were 6·4% in the polyculture, 13·9 and 12·3% in the peach palm monocultures for fruit and for palmito, respectively, 0·5% in the cupuaçu monoculture and 3·1% in the fallow. With more than 20% of the open‐area rainfall, the highest stemflow contributions to the water input into the soil were measured in the palm monocultures and in the fallow.

Anthropogenic Eutrophication and Red Tide Outbreak in Lacustrine Systems of the Kashmir Himalaya

Red tide, a recurrent phenomenon has become conspicuous in several Kashmir lake ecosystems since 1991. The responsible organism (Euglena pedunculata), a rare flagellate rediscovered in the Kashmir Himalaya (Khan 1993) caused first and unprecedented red tide outbreak, constituting a maximum of 96% of resident numerical phytoplankton density in Dal Lake. At present, conflicting hypotheses exist on the generation of causal assemblage(s) imparting redness to waters: Jeeji Bai (1991) linked its origin to acid precipitation – a fallout of burning oil‐fields during the Gulf War – whilst Khan (1993) holds local factor(s) responsible. Field/experimental studies support the latter contention that the influx of untreated sewage, in unison with warm temperatures, high levels of PhAR, iron and interruption to hydrological flow‐pattern together with absence/or reduction in grazing activity created conducive environmental milieu for red tide outbreak. Dal Lake “red tide” drifted the bloom‐inoculum to other waters, including Lake Wular, where additional ecological niches were carved out, threatening the aesthetic value and biological diversity of Kashmir lakes. Ecological monitoring indicates frequent seasonal red tide occurrence in Dal Lake (including summer‐autumn event of 1998) which testifies its unabated eutrophication status. Further studies are needed on ecological adaptability and biogeographic distribution of this rare and unique red tide‐causing flagellate.
