云南澜沧-耿马Ms7.6地震的完全库仑破裂应力变化与后续地震的动态、静态应力触发

计算和研究了1988年云南澜沧-耿马Ms7.6地震产生的完全库仑破裂应力变化的时空演化图像, 对继澜沧地震13 min后发生的耿马M7.2地震的应力触发问题进行了分析, 同时也对澜沧-耿马地震后24 d内发生的Ms5.0~6.9后续强余震的应力触发问题进行了探讨. 结果显示, 澜沧地震断层破裂产生的完全库仑破裂应力变化空间分布图像具有很强的非对称性, 正值的动态和静态库仑破裂应力变化区域均具有与强余震分布位置吻合较好的现象. 耿马Ms7.2地震受到了澜沧Ms7.6地震产生动态和静态库仑破裂应力的触发作用; 绝大多数后续强余震受到了动、静态库仑破裂应力的综合触发作用.     

动态应力作用与地震机制的初步研究

运用三维非线性动态有限元计算仿真方法研究了动态应力的作用及其与地震机制的关系. 结果表明地震产生的冲击力在加载与卸载过程中形成的应力波，在遇断层时多次反射并发生半波损失，反射的应力波叠加或干涉而形成的动态应力使围压减小和波动. 地震动态应力使围压产生低值波动，一方面使围压减小、摩擦力减小；另一方面，使裂纹串通、介质松动、接触面变平，降低摩擦系数、减小剪切强度. 由此均导致抗剪强度降低，从而触发地震. 动态应力作用时间短，触发地震大小与动态应力大小成正比、与距离成反比，触发地震位置、过程与孕震体断层产状有关.     

关于应力触发地震机理的讨论

基于钻孔应变观测资料分析远震造成的动态库仑应力变化

已有证据充分证明了大地震远震触发作用的存在.为认识其机理,需要深入探究大地震产生的远场动态应力对断层面应力及断层地震活动性的影响.四分量钻孔应变仪作为超宽频地壳应力监测的重要手段,可以直接记录地震波传来时造成的动态水平应变和应力,这些资料对动态库仑应力变化及其影响的研究有着重要意义,而迄今尚未得到足够重视和应用.本文通过对高台、通化台的四分量钻孔应变仪记录到的2018年太平洋地区4次大地震事件数据进行分析,识别出了P波、S波和面波等不同震相,运用应力花瓣方法分析了它们的特点,计算了它们各自引起的动态应力变化,展示了利用钻孔应变实际观测资料定量研究不同震级大小、不同震中距离的远震地震波在台站位置处的地壳造成动态应力变化的可行性.研究发现,台站位置处动态应力变化的主应力轴方向大体与震中方位角一致,并讨论了对台站附近断层面上动态库仑应力的影响.定量计算结果表明,这4次地震在高台、通化台附近断层面产生的动态库仑应力变化峰值在数百帕量级,低于一般认为的动态触发阈值,也的确没有观测到被动态触发地震活动.但是本文的思路和方法,对今后更大远震可能产生的触发效应提供了研究基础.     

地震动态触发机制的初步研究

提出地震的动态触发模式。用三维非线性动态有限元方法研究了地震的动态触发的可能机制。模拟结果表明,应力波在反射后发生半波损失,压缩波可以转变成拉伸波,反之亦然。因此,动应力包含有拉伸应力。拉伸波叠加或干涉形成较大的动态应力,减小围压,因此减小了内摩擦力,从而触发地震,研究表明断层形态会影响动态应力,认为地震触 发的位置与孕震体边界形状有关。本文还结合有关地学理论和资料,对以上结果进行了相应的分析并给出物理解释。     

应力触发模型研究进展概述

对应力触发问题的研究从20世纪60年代至今已近半个世纪。这半个世纪以来,地震专家和学者通过对大量震例的分析和比较,在应力触发问题某些方面的研究逐渐从探索性趋向系统性。主要从静态库仑破裂应力、动态库仑破裂应力和完整库仑破裂应力3方面简要概述其对地震触发的作用。     

云南武定M6.5地震动态库仑破裂应力变化的数值模拟及其与余震活动的关系

在离散波数法（DWN）基础上,计算了武定M6.5地震断层破裂在周围介质中产生的位移时程（位移理论地震图）和动态位移场;进行弹性动力学转换后,求得应变时程和动态应变场;最后得到了武定M6.5地震所产生的动态库仑破裂应力变化量和动态库仑破裂应力变化场,进而研究其与后续余震的关系. 结果表明,动态应力最大峰值和静态应力的正区均呈非对称性分布,两者的分布特征与余震的分布特征基本一致. 在动态应力峰值为正的确定区应力值超过了0.1 MPa触发阈值, 在静态应力值为正的确定区应力值超过了0.01 MPa触发阈值. 这说明动态应力和静态应力均有助于余震的发生.      

M_s8.0汶川地震对M_s7.0芦山地震成核失稳的影响Mw

依据速率-状态依赖性摩擦本构关系,并结合中下地壳和上地幔的黏弹性松弛效应,以震后库仑破裂应力变化和同震动态库仑破裂应力变化的计算为基础,模拟了两种应力变化对芦山地震断层的失稳发震时间的影响,研究了2008年Ms8.0汶川地震与2013年Ms7.0芦山地震之间的触发关系.计算得到,汶川地震在芦山地震震源断层面上产生的动态应力变化的峰值为0.127 MPa;此外,经过近5年中下地壳和上地幔的黏弹性松弛效应,芦山地震震源断层面上受到的震后应力变化值为0.025 MPa.结果表明,芦山地震的震源断层在应力积累逐渐接近临界状态的某一特定时期内,受到了汶川地震产生的动态应力变化、静态应力变化以及黏弹性松弛效应造成应力变化的共同触发作用,且动态应力的延迟触发作用可能更为显著.最后对芦山地震之后研究区域的应力变化场进行了初步探讨.

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.
