2017年九寨沟MS7.0地震震源区横波分裂变化特征

对2017年九寨沟M_S7.0地震序列的横波分裂的时空变化特征进行了分析.通过横波窗内S波质点运动图的分析,从九寨沟地震震源区各个地震台站的近震横波记录中提取了横波分裂的快波偏振方向和慢波延迟时间.观测结果显示,震源区各台站的上地壳各向异性在空间上存在分区特征,时间上有随时间的趋势性变化特征.空间上,位于震源区北部余震区内的3个台站中,发震断层东面的台站L5112和L5111只有一个突出的快波偏振优势方向（NNE向）,而西面的L6202台有两个快波偏振优势方向（除了NNE向,还有一个近EW向）,体现了余震区剧烈调整的地壳应力和构造复杂断裂的综合作用;余震区外的3个台站中,震源区东部靠近塔藏断裂（东）附近的JZG台的快波偏振优势方向为NW向,与塔藏断裂（东）的走向一致,南部的台站L5110和L5113的快波偏振优势方向为近EW向,与区域主压应力方向一致;余震区内各台站的平均慢波延迟时间大于余震区外各台站,反映了九寨沟地震孕育过程中余震区的应力积累强于其周边区域.时间上,快波偏振方向在主震后前期离散度较大,随着时间的推移,离散度在后期有逐渐变小的趋势;慢波延迟时间在主震后较大,但随着时间的推移,也表现出逐渐减小,趋于稳定.横波分裂随时间逐渐减小和趋于稳定的变化特征反映了九寨沟地震在孕震中积累的应力,随着主震和余震的发生而导致的应力释放和调整,应力大小和调整幅度逐渐减小,后期趋于稳定.     

2013年芦山M_s7.0地震震源区横波分裂的变化特征

对2013年芦山Ms7.0级地震序列的横波分裂的时空变化现象进行了研究.通过在横波窗内S波质点运动图的分析,从位于龙门山断裂带南段芦山地震震源区地震台站的记录中提取了S波分裂的快波偏振方向和慢波的到时延迟.在研究区,观测到各台站的快波偏振优势方向从南向北有分区特征,慢波到时延迟的随时间有趋势性变化.空间上,快波偏振优势方向在南部为北东向,与龙门山断裂走向一致,而北部为北西向,与区域主压应力方向一致,位于断裂带上的台站TQU和BAX表现出特殊性,可能受到龙门山断裂带的直接影响,体现了断裂带上的应力场方向变化的特殊性.时间上,慢波到时延迟在主震后迅速增大,持续一段时间后又减小;横波分裂现象主要由台站下方岩层中随应力分布排列的微裂隙控制,本文结果揭示了主震和余震过程中区域应力场的变化,芦山地震震源区的地壳应力在主震后得到了增强,随着余震活动导致的应力释放,后期应力减小.     

2019年四川长宁MS6.0地震序列S波分裂变化特征

本文采用质点运动判别与偏振分析相结合的方法对2019年四川长宁M_S6.0地震震源区10个台站于2013年4月25日至2019年7月31日记录到的波形数据进行S波分裂参数测定,其中9个台站获取4条以上有效S波分裂参数。结果表明,震源区各台站的S波分裂参数不仅在空间上存在分区特征,还会随时间发生改变。快波偏振方向在空间上的分区特征大体为:位于震源区东南段的三个台站的快波偏振优势方向主要为NE向,与震源区东南段的主压应力方向基本一致;位于研究区西北段的台站,其快波偏振优势方向为近EW向,与震源区西北段的主压应力方向基本一致。但由于受到震源区地壳应力和复杂构造的共同影响,CJW,GXA和LQS三个台站都有两个快波偏振优势方向。快波偏振方向随时间的变化为:主震后各台站的快波偏振方向都出现离散度增大而后又逐渐趋于一致的现象;CJW台的快波偏振方向在主震前三个月发生了改变,体现了孕震过程中随着应力的不断积累,其各向异性特征由主要受构造控制转变为受应力控制。各台站的归一化慢波时间延迟随台站距主震和余震密集区距离的增加而减小,反映了长宁地震孕震过程中余震密集区的应力积累和释放明显强于周边区域。此外,主震发生前6个月左右CNI台的慢波时间延迟出现明显下降,地震发生后又迅速上升,反映出长宁地震震前的应力积累以及震后应力突然释放使上地壳中微裂隙的几何形态发生了改变。      

盈江MS6.1地震序列近场横波分裂研究

使用横波分裂系统分析方法(SAM), 对2014年5月30日盈江M_S6.1地震震区内多个近场流动台站记录到的大量波形数据进行横波分裂研究． 研究结果表明, 盈江M_S6.1地震序列的快S波偏振方向为近NS向, 与区域主压应力方向一致． 主震发生后, 由于震源区应力状态的调整, 卡场台(KAC)快S波偏振方向发生逆时针偏转, 勐弄台(MNO)快S波偏振方向离散度减小, 并且由于受到研究区内断裂的影响, MNO台偏振方向较KAC台偏振方向更加离散． KAC台和MNO台的慢S波时间延迟均表现出主震发生前短时间内突然减小, 震后逐渐增大的变化特征, 这意味着临震前震源区地壳应力的释放和震后地壳应力的增强, 预示了后续余震的持续发生． 地震序列时间延迟平均滑动曲线起伏振荡, 表明了余震的发生伴随着震源区地壳应力的不断调整．      

汶川地震余震序列的地震各向异性

利用2008年5月12日汶川地震震源区及周边地震台站记录的余震序列资料,使用剪切波分裂系统分析法,分析了汶川地震发震构造龙门山断裂带及周边地区的地壳各向异性特征,推断了地壳最大主压应力方向及空间分布特征.研究结果表明：大致以安县为界,位于龙门山北东段的台站快剪切波的偏振方向为北东向,与断裂带走向一致;而位于龙门山西南段的台站快剪切波的偏振方向为北西向,与断裂带走向垂直;这个特征同样揭示出龙门山断裂带西南段逆冲、北东段带有明显走滑性质的特征.研究还显示,靠近龙门山与鲜水河、安宁河小江断裂交汇区附近的台站快剪切波的偏振方向表现比较离散,这可能是由震源区局部的复杂地质构造引起,与该地区复杂的主压应力方向特点一致.     

喜马拉雅东构造结上地壳各向异性特征

本文利用雅鲁藏布江下游台阵的16个台站2016年度的近震数据,通过横波窗内的横波分裂测量,在各台站总计得到369个有效的横波分裂参数对,分析得出喜马拉雅东构造结上地壳各向异性特征。空间上,各台站的快波偏振优势方向整体上自西向东由近EW向,转为NE向,然后转向近NS或NNE向,最后转向NW向。大部分靠近或位于活动断裂带上的台站的快波偏振优势方向与断裂的走向一致,主要体现在墨竹工卡断裂上的ZOS台,雅鲁藏布江断裂上的WOL,NYG,ZIB和DOJ台站,墨脱断裂上的BEB和DEX台站,以及迫龙—旁辛断裂上的BAX和DAM台站;而距离雅鲁藏布江断裂西段和东段各有一定距离的LAD和YIG台站,以及位于雅鲁藏布江断裂东段与嘉利断裂交会处的TOM台的快波偏振优势方向与断裂走向存在一定角度,但其与喜马拉雅东构造结主压应力场方向NNE向基本一致。上地壳各向异性整体体现了结构控制和应力控制的特征,但各台站的横波分裂参数并未表现出随时间的规律变化特征,这可能与2016年研究区地震活动强度较弱有关。研究区各台站间存在较大的横波分裂参数差异和自身离散度,反映出东构造结复杂的构造特征和剧烈的变形作用。      

2008年汶川地震震源区横波分裂的变化特征

对2008年汶川地震序列的横波分裂的时空变化现象进行了研究．通过在横波窗内S波质点运动图的分析,从地震余震区附近台站的近场地震记录中提取了S波分裂的快波偏振方向和快慢波之间的时间延迟．龙门山断裂附近7个台站的S波分裂的结果显示了快波偏振方向的空间分布特征,断裂带东南侧（四川盆地一侧）台站的快波偏振方向总体为北东方向,而在断裂西北侧高原内部的PWU（平武台）则为近东西方向．观测到了快慢波之间到时差的趋势性变化,靠近余震带南端的L5501台的到时差在主震后持续减小,北端PWU台的到时差比主震前明显增大．横波分裂现象主要由台站下方岩层中随应力场方向排列的微裂隙控制,结果显示了主震和余震过程中区域应力场的变化,汶川地震余震活动带南部的应力在主震和余震中得到了释放,地壳应力场在余震带北部集中,导致了PWU台在主震后介质各向异性强度的增强．     

2012年6月24日宁蒗-盐源MS5.7地震的剪切波分裂探讨

选用2012年6月24日宁蒗-盐源M_S5.7地震震源区的泸沽湖台站2008年9月—2013年9月连续5年的地震数据进行剪切波分裂计算, 从剪切波分裂参数随时间的变化初步获得了宁蒗-盐源地区的区域应力特征, 以及该地震发生前后地壳应力的特征性变化. 泸沽湖台站快波偏振方向结果显示, 该台站具有NE向和SE向两个优势取向, 与研究区域内断裂的走向相同. 该台站的慢波延迟时间表现出明显的变化, 特别是在宁蒗-盐源M_S5.7地震发生前后. 在宁蒗-盐源地震发生前一年, 泸沽湖台站的慢波延迟时间缓慢地增加, 表明该地区地壳应力逐渐积累; 直到该地震发生前一个月, 泸沽湖台站的慢波延迟时间才开始急剧下降, 表明地壳应力随着地震的发生而迅速释放.      

龙门山断裂带南段横波分裂分析

基于2009年1月—2015年4月芦山地震震源区 (龙门山断裂带南段) 大量地震的双差重定位结果,对固定台站 (BAX, MDS, TQU) 和流动台站 (L131, L132, L134, L135) 周围处于横波分裂窗内的地震记录进行了横波分裂分析.研究结果表明:除台站TQU外,其它台站的快波偏振优势方向与龙门山断裂带的走向基本一致;台站TQU处于前山断裂与一条SE向断裂的交汇处,其偏振方向具有一定的方位性,表明SE向断裂可能是导致台站TQU快波偏振优势方向偏离的原因之一.各台站位于1角区 (入射射线与裂隙面夹角为15°—45°的双叶区域) 和2角区 (入射射线与裂隙面夹角为0°—15°的区域) 的归一化时间延迟结果显示,除台站L135由于缺少震后持续数据外,其余6个台站在1角区内的归一化时间延迟在芦山地震主震后均逐渐减小.另外,从BAX, MDS, L134, L131这几个台站的玫瑰图中可见,芦山地震后快波偏振矢量发生了90°翻转现象,说明各向异性孔隙弹性 (APE) 理论在该研究区的适用性,即该理论可用于监测研究区的区域应力场变化.      

云南剑川近场横波特征及其与构造的关系

通过对1982年7月3日云南剑川Ms5．4级地震的余震震群近场记录的研究，为该地区存在横波分裂现象及上部地壳存在裂隙各向异性提供了直接的证据．剑川地区地震记录波形复杂，纵、横波视周期差异较大．横波快波偏振主要集中在NE45°和NW55°两个方向．7月20日ML4．8级强余震前后横波快波偏振取向变化显著，各台横波偏振方向震前彼此相对独立；震后整体上趋于有序．前者反映了地震发生前由于震源区应力集中在附近空间形成的应力分布的差异；后者显示出地震发生后由于震源区集中应力的释放带来的上述应力差异在一定空间范围的解除．该结果表明震源附近地区地震横波分裂特征不仅携带着地震处于相对平静期应力场的静态信息，而且也携带着地震发生前后应力场时、空动态变化的重要信息．文中还讨论了剑川地区构造对S波分裂的影响．

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.     

The effect of the pollution of the ground layer of the atmosphere on the albedo

Summary A simple model is proposed suitable for studying the effect of the ground layer of the atmosphere, polluted by aerosol, on the albedo. This model is founded on solving the equation of transfer of radiative energy. The numerical results are discussed, particular attention being paid to the analysis of errors due to neglecting the multiple reflection of solar radiation on the aerosol particles. A method which would also include the multiple reflection is proposed, and the conditions under which the presence of the aerosol is responsible for an increase or decrease of the solar radiation balance on the Earth's surface, are analysed.

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.     

Influence of the topography of the surface of the Earth on vertical sounding of the temperature profile

Atmospheric temperature and humidity fields as well as information on other meteorological parameters are nowadays retrieved from radiance measurements recorded by operational meteorological satellites. Up to now, the inversion procedures used only take into account crude information on the topography of the Earth’s surface. However, the applied radiative transfer codes have to consider the Earth’s surface as the lower boundary of the atmospheric model and, therefore, need a more precise mean elevation and a classification of the roughness of the Earth’s surface. The influence of the topography of the Earth surface on retrieved temperature profiles is studied by using a physico-statistical inversion method. An objective analysis is made of the more precise mean elevation and derivation of roughness parameters using a new high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) with a resolution of 500 m×500 m. By means of a geomorphological process and a newly developed topography rejection test, areas with a high surface roughness are localized and singled out. The influence of topography on the retrieved temperature profiles is illustrated by case studies. Changes are found predominantly in areas with a high variation of topography. Using the new high-resolution DEM and the topography rejection test, the geographical position of the calculated temperature profiles tends to be shifted towards areas with a small vertical variation of topography. The mean elevation determined by the new elevation model better characterizes the area observed. Hence, the temperature profiles can be calculated down to lower atmospheric levels. Furthermore, a guess profile better describing the atmospheric situation is selected by the more precise elevation. In addition, the temperature profiles obtained near the coast are improved considerably by the more precise determination of the surface property ‘sea’ and ‘land,’ respectively. Integration of an independent physical information such as topography leads, on average, to a slight improvement of the results of the physico-statistical inversion procedure. In some cases, however, significant improvements have been achieved regarding the desired accuracy of temperature profiles of the order of 1 K. In future, the spatial resolution of new high-resolution sounding instrumentation on the next generation of operational meteorological satellites will be increased. To exploit the resolving power of this new instrumentation, the different variation of the topography of the Earth surface, especially in regions with a high variation of topography, can be taken into account more precisely by using a high-resolution DEM.
