汶川8.0级特大地震前的地磁垂直分量日变"双低点"异常

2008年5月9日,我国有13个地磁台(纳入国家地磁台网中心的台站)地磁垂直分量日变形态出现"双低点"异常.这些台站在空间上大致呈交汇的3个条带分布,其交汇处位于四川两部.异常出现3天后的5月12日,正好在四川西部的汶川发生了8.0级特大地震.地磁垂直分量日变"双低点"是客观存在的一种区域地磁异常现象.其成因可能是产生地磁静日变化Sq的外空涡旋电流体系发生变化,或可能是产生地磁静日变化的内源感应涡旋电流体系与外源涡旋电流体系产生数小时的滞后所引起.地磁垂直分量日变"双低点"异常与地震的关系,可能是前者反映了地球深部地震孕育状态的加速变化.     

地磁低点位移线两侧异常变化的反相位现象及其解释

本文通过部分震例研究发现,在地磁低点位移异常日及附近,分布于低点位移线两侧的地磁垂直分量日变化畸变异常部分具有反相位变化特征,而水平分量无类似的现象.作者依据Biot-Savart定律推测,在低点位移异常期间,在低点位移线下方有一引起地磁垂直分量日变化畸变的电流通过,且该电流为线状分布,或仅在垂直面内有分布,埋深一般认为几十千米.作者同时分析认为,当这种电流的分布形成闭合圈或有东西分量时,地磁基本场对其产生的作用力对地震的发生可能有触发作用.     

新疆伽师MS6.4地震前地磁日变化异常分析

以新疆伽师M S6.4地震为案例,利用地磁日变化异常分析方法,对中国地磁台网所记录的地磁观测资料进行分析,结果显示:1、离震中最近的喀什台震前59 d和39 d出现一组逐日比高值异常,排除干扰,且地磁日变形态也出现明显的畸变,异常集中于震中附近台站,震中位于异常阈值线附近;2、震前,新疆及周边地区出现地磁垂直分量日变化幅度的极小值时间在空间上出现地磁低点位移现象,低点时间分界线横穿南天山西段,呈现近EW走向分布,分界线两侧低点时间相差超过2 h,发震日期为异常发生后的38(41±4)d,震中位于低点位移分界线附近;3、地磁逐日比和低点位移异常的发生时间和空间分布可能与伽师M S6.4地震的孕育和发生有非常高的关联性。该研究进一步推广和检验了地磁日变化异常分析方法在地震预报方面的应用。     

2013年岷县—漳县6.6级地震地磁垂直分量日变化低点时间空间分布特征

2013年6月16日, 中国大陆西部出现地磁低点位移。 异常出现后一个月内, 位于低点位移分界线附近发生7月22日岷县、 漳县交界6.6级地震。 本文通过采用实测低点时间减去理论低点时间的方法剔除低点时间经度效应, 并以剔除经度效应后低点时间为0 h的等值线作为低点位移分界线, 2013年岷县—漳县6.6级地震震中处于6月16日地磁低点位移分界线上。 对异常期间的中国大陆地区地磁垂直分量日变形态进行统计, 发现其存在显著的分区特征, 低点时间为正的区域内日变化形态基本呈现W型, 低点时间为负的区域内日变化形态主要呈现V字型特征。 低点位移异常日期间, 中国大陆存在显著的高梯度带, 本文采用梯度值定量描述低点时间空间变化程度。 在6月13日正常日期间, 中国大陆地区未出现梯度值大于1.5 h/(°)的区域, 在6月16日异常日期间, 出现梯度值大于1.5 h/(°)的区域, 2013年岷县—漳县6.6级地震位于高梯度区边缘。     

甘肃岷县6.6级地震前地磁垂直分量日变“双低点”异常

2013年7月22日,地处南北地震带的甘肃岷县发生M 6.6地震。研究发现在6月19日,西北地区与华北地区部分地磁台垂直分量日变形态出现过"双低点"异常。震中位于低点位移分界线附近,孕震体环境在强震前由于应力变化引起介质电导率等电磁性质的改变,区域地磁场垂直分量日变曲线出现相位和幅度变化。说明地磁垂直分量日变"双低点"异常与地震的孕育和发生相关。     

地磁“低点位移”预报方法与天祝6.2级等地震前的区域异常

本文对地磁垂直分量日变"低点位移"预报方法及"低点位移"异常与强震的对应情况进行了系统的总结,並着重介绍了1990年天祝6.2级等地震前的地磁"低点位移"异常与短期趋势判断情况。事实表明,该预报方法不仅能对6级以上强震作出短临预报,还可对重点监视区内的一些中强地震作出较好的短临预报。     

基于日变化相关的地磁低点位移异常可靠性分析方法

地磁低点位移法是20世纪提出的地震短临预测方法,该方法通过研究每日中国大陆地磁低点时间变化特征,给出地震短临预测意见,但不足之处是其仅研究了地磁日变化畸变的时间特征,未研究畸变幅度,因此虚报率高。本文通过分析低点位移线两侧台站地磁日变化的相关性,研究了地磁低点位移异常畸变幅度与地震的关系,并统计了2008—2018年出现的162次低点位移异常的地震预测对应率。结果显示,加入本文给出的相关方法异常判据后,地磁低点位移法报对率自39%增至56%,表明相比仅使用传统的低点位移法,基于日变化相关的地磁低点位移异常分析方法更有效。     

张北Ms6.2级地震前出现的地磁日变低点位移异常

１９９８年１月１０日张北发生Ｍｓ６．２级地震,地震前５ｄ￣２４ｄ,在全国范围内出现４次地磁日变低点位移异常现象。本文对地磁日变低点位移现象的物理基础进行了初步探讨,对地磁日变低点位移导演预报地震的方法作了简要介绍,对地磁日变低点位移异常与张北地震的关系进行了分析,认为张北地震前出现的地磁日变低点位移导演是该次地震的前兆反映。     

2018年精河5.4级地震前地磁日变化畸变异常分析

2018年10月16日新疆精河5.4级地震发生时,震中附近的台站不同程度上记录了地磁日变化畸变异常,如地磁总强度F02时每日一值空间相关异常、地磁垂直分量加卸载响应比异常、地磁低点位移以及地磁日变化空间相关异常等。统计震前观测到的所有地磁异常,并分析研究了其震前异常变化特征。得到如下结论:(1)从全国每日一值相关分析结果看,震前114天出现每日一值空间相关异常,异常高值台为乌鲁木齐和克拉玛依;(2)震前59天沿北天山断裂带分布的地磁台站加卸载响应比均成组出现超限的高值,且异常高值的空间分布跟震中位置有一定关联;(3)中国大陆地磁台站震前37天出现低点位移突变分界线,且异常集中于震中附近;(4)震前出现地磁垂直分量日变化空间相关异常,异常台站空间上也主要集中于北天山地区。因此地磁垂直分量日变形态及有关的计算方法短期内具有一定的预报效能,可为今后利用地磁方法预测地震积累经验和震例。     

2012年江苏扬州M 4.9地震前地磁垂直分量日变双低点异常

2012年6月13日和7月10日华东地区部分地磁台垂直分量日变形态出现双低点异常,首次异常出现后37天,于7月20日发生江苏扬州M 4.9地震,震中位于低点位移分界线附近。分析认为,在强震前由于应力变化,引起孕震体环境中介质电导率等电磁性质发生改变,区域地磁场垂直分量日变曲线出现相位和幅度变化,说明地磁垂直分量日变双低点异常与地震的孕育和发生相关。

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.

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.     

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.
