浙江珊溪水库2014年震群活动发震机理研究

本文使用双差定位法对2014年9月12日至12月30日浙江珊溪水库发生的4184次地震进行重定位,并采用CAP方法对11次M_L≥3.0地震事件的震源机制解进行反演,讨论了震群序列的活动特征及其与断裂之间的关系,分析了水库水位与地震之间的关系.重新定位的结果显示,在空间分布上,2014年震群序列发生在2006年震群序列NW向延伸的方向上,两者形成一条线性条带,该条带平行分布于双溪—焦溪垟断裂南侧.重定位得到的震源主要在0.7—6 km深度范围内分层分布,垂直于地震条带走向的震源剖面刻画出的结构面以高角度倾向SW.震源机制解结果显示多数地震为走滑型,均存在一个与地震条带走向一致的NW向节面,呈右旋走滑错动性质.考虑到断裂的定位误差,线性分布的震群活动极有可能沿双溪—焦溪垟断裂的破裂面活动,精定位的震源位置和震源机制刻画出了该断裂的几何结构和活动性质.但由于多数地震的震源深度在6 km以上,因此震群活动不能归为双溪—焦溪垟断裂活动的结果,即双溪—焦溪垟断裂不是这两次震群的发震构造,而且仍然属于水库诱发地震,而水库地震存在激发该断裂发生构造地震的可能.水库水位上升或者下降与震群活动关系不大,震群活动有随时间进一步增强的趋势, 可能是库水沿库底断层破裂面长期渗透和扩散增加了孔隙压所致.      

珊溪水库震群的地震定位

2006年2月,位于浙江文成与泰顺交界的珊溪水库发生了最大震级为ML4.6的震群.我们分别利用浙江省区域数字地震台网和珊溪水库现场数字监测网的观测数据,运用不同的定位方法,对震群进行了定位.通过比较分析,讨论了不同的定位方法与不同观测数据的定位效果.     

2006年2月浙江泰顺—文成地震震群震害特征

2006年2月浙江省泰顺县与文成县交界处的珊溪水库库区附近发生最大震级为ML4．6级的地震震群,震区共记录到ML≥2．0级地震200余次,其中ML≥4．0级地震9次（表1）。此次地震震群频度高,4．0级及以上地震次数多,震源深度浅,地震序列较为复杂。地震发生后,浙江省地震局立即组织人员前往震区,进行地震宏观调查工作。     

2006年珊溪水库ML 4.6震群静态库仑应力变化及其对后续地震的影响

浙江省珊溪水库2006年2月4日至11日发生8个M_L 4以上地震,最大地震为M_L 4.6地震,截至2009年12月10日,共发生1 063次小地震。为探讨8个M_L 4以上地震主发震断层的库仑应力变化特征以及库仑应力变化对后续地震发生的促进作用,基于库仑破裂准则,计算珊溪水库该M_L 4.6震群的静态库仑应力变化,讨论不同有效摩擦系数对库仑应力变化的影响,并依据Dieterich速率—状态摩擦定律计算并讨论其静态库伦应力变化对后续地震活动性的影响。结果表明,珊溪水库8次M_L 4.0以上地震的静态库仑应力变化及库水下渗导致的静摩擦力变化,对后续地震的发生起到一定促进作用,约76.3%的地震发生在库仑应力变化为正的区域;有效摩擦系数的取值对库仑应力场与余震分布之间的关系影响不大;计算F_11-1、F_11-2及F_11-3分支断层中部的库仑应力变化,发现库仑应力在F_11-1、F_11-2     

珊溪水库M_L4.6震群精确定位与发震构造研究

利用浙江、福建区域地震台网和珊溪水库台网给出的P波走时资料,通过震源位置和速度结构联合反演方法,重新确定了珊溪水库地震的震源参数。并通过假设发震断层可以用一个平面进行拟合的思路,利用重新确定的震源参数拟合得到了发震断层面参数。收集了2267条P波到时数据,求解了ML4.0以上地震震源机制解,结合水库区的断层活动性特征和宏观调查资料,讨论了珊溪水库地震序列的发震构造。     

紫坪铺水库与汶川地震关系的讨论

利用紫坪铺水库专用地震台站和加密地震台站资料,使用双差法完成了震前930次地震、汶川8级主震和5, 789次余震的重新定位,探讨了紫坪铺水库与汶川地震之间的关系,获得了有利于证明它们之间密切关联的事实: 1)紫坪铺水库2005年蓄水之后出现了水磨、深溪沟和都江堰震群,地震应变能释放增加了200%,与库水位变化密切相关,在汶川地震前呈现出加速释放的现象; 2)野外调查表明存在1条贯穿紫坪铺水库库区、走向NE的同震地表破裂带,与中滩铺断层位置一致; 3)余震分布以中滩铺断层为界,西北上盘多,东南下盘少; 4)利用P波初始到时重新确定出的汶川主震发震时刻为27分59.5秒,初始破裂深度在6～9km左右,直接位于水磨震群之下; 5)汶川主震与发生在2008年4月5日水磨震群中的1次小震的各个台站到时差相同。     

温州珊溪水库ML3.9震群震源参数特征

采用地震波谱方法测定了温州珊溪水库地震序列的震源参数，分析了震源应力降特征及地震矩与震级的关系。研究结果认为：珊溪震群地震矩和震级统计关系为logMo=1．07ML 10．3；占地震总数60％的小震应力降为0．018～O．049MPa，珊溪震群属于低应力背景下的地震活动；珊溪震区应力降分维数D=0．85，属于低值，反映了震区介质强度和应力分布的非均匀程度较高。     

云南省糯扎渡水库蓄水前后地震活动性研究

采用2008年6月至2013年10月糯扎渡水库地震台网记录的6 300个地震,对水库蓄水前后的地震活动进行分析,发现库区蓄水后,地震频度与水位同步增长,地震活动显著增强,表明库区有水库诱发地震发生。蓄水前后的地震活动图像显示,澜沧江上景谷、双江交界处的小震活动增加最为显著,采用Hypodd双差相对定位方法对该震群进行了重新定位,定位后地震在空间上更为丛集,地震震源深度从0~20 km都有分布。该震群发生在窝拖寨断裂上,该断裂历史上曾发生过5.3级地震,因此分析认为,该震群的发生时间虽与水位相关,但可能是触发了构造地震,所以震源深度显现的是构造活动的特征。     

大桥水库诱发地震前的小震群

2002年3月3日大桥水库诱发了Ma4．6级地震，根据大桥台网7年多库区地震观测记录，在2001年9～11月库区内有密集分布的高频次近地表的小震群活动，以致库区内地震存在6值与叩值等地震学参数异常。这个小震群震级小、频次高，分布在一个震源深度浅地域小的空间范围内。小震群的震中分布与安宁河东支断裂和库水位有关。借用基于GIS的地震分析预报系统对天然构造活动引起的震群分析方法和指标，对该小震群进行分析后认为：小震群为典型的前兆震群。     

浙江省珊溪水库地区土壤Rn和H2地球化学特征

在浙江省珊溪水库地区布设5条断层土壤气Rn和H₂测线,并选取15个溶解水氡采样测点。测量结果显示,其中有3条土壤气测线上的Rn浓度均值超过70 Bq/L,土壤H₂测值最高达1 377 ppm,水样中溶解氡浓度最高值为68.3 Bq/L。通过珊溪水库地区历史地震活动和地质构造情况分析,发现该地区土壤Rn、H₂和溶解水氡的高值分布区均与双溪—焦溪垟断裂F_11-3分支的空间位置密切相关,该断裂分支是珊溪水库地区小震活动的发震断裂。另外通过研究发现,历史震群活动距今时间以及震群活动的频度和强度是影响珊溪水库地区土壤气Rn和H₂地球化学特征的重要因素。     

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.

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.     

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.     

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.
