用瑞利面波资料反演中国大陆东部地壳上地幔横波速度的三维构造

利用中国大陆东部21个台站的43条面波大圆路径上瑞利面波记录的双台资料,计算出双台间地震面波相速度频散,采用Tarantola概率反演的方法求得相速度频散曲线的分布,并由各处相速度频散曲线反演得到地壳上地幔的三维横波波速图像,进而得到中国东部地壳上地幔的S波速度结构.结果表明:我国大陆东部地壳厚度总体上呈东薄西厚的趋势,以105°E为界向西地壳厚度逐渐加深到55 km以上,其中有一个北东向的h形地壳厚度的坡度带.豫西及晋南地区为相对薄地壳的地区.大别山地区和泰山附近地区地壳变厚,但秦岭地区地壳不变厚.上地幔低速层上界面的深度在华北地区较浅,为80-90km,在鄂尔多斯、四川东部以及黔湘地区为120-130km.扬子地块东部及华南褶皱系中、东部上地幔顶部速度偏低使低速层的速度反差不明显.滇黔褶皱系的西部在200 km以内的上地幔中未出现低速层.     

面波频散与接收函数联合反演南北地震带北段壳幔速度结构

通过对南北地震带北段区域所布设的676个流动地震台站观测资料进行处理,联合反演面波频散与接收函数数据,获得了研究区内地壳厚度、沉积层厚度的分布情况以及地壳上地幔高分辨率S波速度结构成像结果.反演结果显示研究区地壳厚度从青藏高原东北缘向外总体逐渐变薄,秦岭造山带地壳厚度较同属青藏高原东北缘的北祁连块体明显减薄;鄂尔多斯盆地及河套盆地分布有非常厚的沉积层,阿拉善块体部分区域也有一定沉积层分布,沉积层与研究区内盆地位置较为一致;松潘—甘孜块体、北祁连造山带等青藏高原东北缘总体表现为S波低速异常;在中下地壳,松潘—甘孜块体下方的低速体比北祁连造山带下方的低速体S波速度值更小、分布深度更浅,更有可能对应于部分熔融的地壳;鄂尔多斯盆地在中下地壳以及上地幔内有着较大范围的高速异常一直延伸到120 km以下,而河套盆地地幔只在80 km以上部分有着高速异常的分布,此深度可能代表了河套盆地的岩石圈厚度,来自深部地幔的热物质上涌造成了该区域的岩石圈减薄;阿拉善块体在地壳和上地幔都表现出高低速共存的分布特征,暗示阿拉善块体西部岩石圈可能受青藏高原东北缘的挤压作用发生改造.     

广东省东部地区背景噪声面波群速度层析成像

选取广东省东部及福建和江西测震台网的26个固定台站2011年3～9月的地震背景噪声的垂直分量数据,用互相关方法获得瑞利面波的格林函数,再用频时分析方法提取瑞利面波的群速度频散曲线,最后用面波层析成像方法反演得到研究区周期为5～15s的瑞利面波群速度图像.反演结果揭示了广东省东部地区浅部地壳群速度结构存在明显横向不均匀性.短周期群速度异常与研究区内山脉、盆地的分布有较好的对应关系,沉积厚度较大的盆地地区表现为低速异常,而基底埋深较浅的山脉则显示了高速异常;地热分布对面波群速度产生重要影响,地热值较高的区域面波群速度一般表现为低速异常;粤东地区特别是粤东沿海地区地壳中部可能存在低速层.     

由长周期地震面波研究华南地区地壳和上地幔三维构造

利用中国27个地震基准台和世界标准地震台网 WWSSN 西南亚3个台站记录的中国大陆及邻近地区79个地震共238条路径的长周期面波资料,应用适配滤波频时分析技术和改进的分格频散反演方法,得到该地区147个44斜方格的纯路径群速度频散值,进而反演得到华南地区深至170km 左右的三维 S 波速度构造.结果表明:华南地区各一级构造单元之间有明显差异,一级单元内的次级构造单元也有一定差异.东部地壳较薄,由东往西逐渐变厚,厚度为30-43km 左右.地壳中 S 波平均速度,东北部最低,西部最高,约为3.48-3.68km/s,在大范围内未发现明显的地壳低速层.华南大部分地区存在上地幔低速层,低速层起始深度为75-106km 左右,低速层中 S 波最小速度约为4.28-4.38km/s.尽管华南大部分地区存在上地幔低速层,但各主要层位分界明显,层面平缓,在较大尺度地下构造横向变化较小,除西部褶断区、东南沿海断裂系等边缘区域为构造活动区外,华南主体的地壳上地幔构造仍属于较稳定的大陆块体构造.      

利用面波波形模拟探测中国大陆地壳和上地幔波速结构的分区特征

对穿过中国大陆东部、中部、北部和西部4个不同地区的8条地震射线路径的波形进行拟合分析,反演得到了各路径下方的一维平均波速结构.反演得到的地壳和上地幔波速结构表现出明显的分区特征,该特征与已知的大地构造单元和已有的研究成果吻合较好. 表明面波波形拟合方法是一种可靠的探测地壳和上地幔波速结构的方法,且比单纯利用基阶面波频散对上地幔结构探测更具优势.      

利用长周期面波研究华北地区地壳与上地幔结构的横向非均匀性

本文以太行山为界将华北地区分为东西两部分,东部为河淮块体,西部为鄂尔多斯块体.利用最小二乘法,从混合路径基阶瑞利面波群速度频散提取两块体的纯路径频散,并反演其地壳、上地幔的层状结构.所得结表果明,两块体的面波频散和地壳、上地幔结构存在明显差异.东部的河淮块体地壳较薄,地壳内平均速度比西部的鄂尔多斯块体壳内平均速度约低0.13km/s,壳内20km深度左右出现低速层;而西部的块体壳内速度成层递增,未见低速层出现.两块体上地幔顶部速度均偏低,地幔低速层的埋藏深度基本相同.但西部块体地幔低速层厚,且比东部块体地幔低速层的速度约低0.3km/s.     

利用地震面波研究中国地壳结构

本文利用地震面波频散资料进行反演, 得到了中国各地区地壳结构的层状模型。中国地壳可以划分为青藏、蒙古、华北、华南和塔里木等五个大陆块体, 其频散曲线和地壳层状结构是彼此不同的.一般可以用沉积层、花岗岩层和玄武岩层来代表, 后四个区在上地幔和玄武岩层中的波速值比较接近.青藏和华北地区在地壳中的平均波速值较低, 地壳结构的纵横向变化显著, 康腊面不是稳定而明显的速度间断面, 某些部位上存在着低速层, 这两个地区的地震活动之所以十分强烈, 与上述地壳深部构造有直接关系.其余三个地区的地壳显示了类似稳定地台的某些特征.中国沿海地区的地壳可以大致以长江口为界分成南北两部分, 分属于华北和华南地壳.中国地壳厚度在东部为32——40公里, 青藏高原60——70公里.沉积层在塔里木盆地最厚, 达11公里, 其他地区一般为3——8公里.      

利用长周期面波研究华北地区地壳与上地幔结构的横向非均匀性

本文以太行山为界将华北地区分为东西两部分,东部为河淮块体,西部为鄂尔多斯块体.利用最小二乘法,从混合路径基阶瑞利面波群速度频散提取两块体的纯路径频散,并反演其地壳、上地幔的层状结构.所得结表果明,两块体的面波频散和地壳、上地幔结构存在明显差异.东部的河淮块体地壳较薄,地壳内平均速度比西部的鄂尔多斯块体壳内平均速度约低0.13km/s,壳内20km深度左右出现低速层;而西部的块体壳内速度成层递增,未见低速层出现.两块体上地幔顶部速度均偏低,地幔低速层的埋藏深度基本相同.但西部块体地幔低速层厚,且比东部块体地幔低速层的速度约低0.3km/s.     

考虑沉积层重力改正的中国西部Moho面深度反演

首先研究了大型沉积盆地对地表重力异常的影响,然后基于Parker-Oldenburg迭代算法,利用经过沉积层改正的布格重力异常数据反演了中国西部的Moho面深度。结果表明,地壳浅层密度异常对地表重力异常和Moho面深度结果的影响较大,利用简化的三层沉积层模型,计算出的中国西部沉积盆地的重力异常改正最大可达25 m Gal,由此引起的Moho面深度可达2.2 km,Moho面深度最终计算结果与区域最新研究成果相符合,因此,利用重力异常反演Moho面深度时,应考虑沉积层的影响以提高反演精度。     

黄海的地壳速度结构与中朝—扬子块体拼合边界

利用中国、韩国和ISC台站的地震走时数据反演了黄海地区的地壳P波速度结构,对比重力异常和断裂体系、Pn波速度及其各向异性,分析了不同地球物理异常的相互关系以及黄海东部和西部的结构差异,为厘定黄海东部断裂暨中朝—扬子块体的拼合边界提供了新的信息.反演结果表明,北黄海和南黄海西部具有沉积盆地的地壳结构特征,P波速度明显偏低且深度较大,说明盆地内部沉积层较厚、沉降幅度较大,以北黄海、南黄海海州湾和苏北—南黄盆地最为突出.南黄海中部、胶东半岛、辽东半岛和朝鲜半岛显示出构造隆起区的地壳速度特征,其中南黄海中部的高速异常具有北东方向的伸展痕迹,与胶东地区的区域构造走向趋于一致,但是与朝鲜半岛的高速异常并不相连,其间存在明显的分界.据此推测南黄海与朝鲜半岛之间可能存在一个近南北方向的深断裂——黄海东部断裂,至于该断裂是否可以作为中朝—扬子块体在海区的拼合边界,尚需获取黄海东部及朝鲜半岛更详细的相关资料提供依据.

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.

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.     

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.
