The formation of boundary clinopyroxenes and associated glass veins in type B1 CAIs

Abstract— We used focused ion beam thin section preparation and scanning transmission electron microscopy (FIB/STEM) to examine the interfacial region between spinel and host melilite for spinel grains in type B1 inclusions from the Allende and Leoville carbonaceous chondrites. Boundary clinopyroxenes decorating spinel surfaces have compositions similar to those of coarser clinopyroxenes from the same region of the inclusion, suggesting little movement after formation. Host melilite displays no anomalous compositions near the interface and late‐stage minerals are not observed, suggesting that boundary pyroxenes did not form by crystallization of residual liquid. Allende spinels display either direct spinel‐melilite contact or an intervening boundary clinopyroxene between the two phases. Spinel‐melilite interfacial regions in a Leoville B1 are more complex, with boundary clinopyroxene, as observed in Allende, but also variable amounts of glass, secondary calcite, perovskite, and an Mg‐, Al‐, OH‐rich and Ca‐, Si‐poor crystalline phase that may be a layered double hydrate. One possible scenario of formation for the glass veins is that open system alteration of melilite produced a porous, hydrated aggregate of Mg‐carpholite or sudoite + aluminous diopside that was shock melted and quenched to a glass. The hydrated crystalline phase we observed may have been a shocked remnant of the precursor phase assemblage, but is more likely to have formed later by alteration of the glass. In the mantle, boundary clinopyroxenes may have been crystallized from Ti‐rich liquids formed by the direct dissolution of perovskite and an associated Sc‐Zr‐rich phase or as a reaction product between dissolving perovskite and liquid. In the core, any perovskite and associated Ti‐enriched liquids that may have originally been present disappeared before the growth of boundary clinopyroxene, and the observed boundary clinopyroxene may have nucleated and grown from the liquid, along with the larger core clinopyroxene.     

一个β中涡对双台风相互作用影响的物理过程

利用高分辨率f平面正压拟谱模式,分析一个β中尺度涡对双台风相互作用影响的物理过程。结果表明：β中涡的存在可以使原本排斥的两个DeMaria型台风涡旋合并;β中涡改变双台风相互作用终态的物理机制是：初始时段处于某一台风涡旋正影响区内的β中涡,构成了非对称涡度场,进而在该台风涡旋内部产生指向另一个台风涡旋的气流。该气流如果足够强,则会使两个台风的中心距离在短时间内下降到合并临界距离之内,触发双涡合并过程的发生。     

通用陆面模式对土壤质地和亮度的敏感性分析

使用前苏联Valdai 1966～1971年的气象观测资料,研究了通用陆面模式(Common Land Model,CoLM)模拟的水分循环和地表通量在12种土壤质地和8种土壤亮度条件下的差异。结果表明,在相同的气象条件下,模拟的热通量对土壤质地和亮度都比较敏感,而地表水文过程只对土壤质地敏感。土壤亮度相同时,相对砂性土壤,粘土含量高的土壤保水性强,土壤湿度、地表蒸发和径流量都比较大（月均最大差值：土壤湿度约为5 kg·m-2,地表蒸发和径流量约为年降水量的7%和1.2 %）,相应地在热通量分配上存在明显差异（月均最大差值为8 W·m-2）;土壤质地相同,亮度由亮变暗时,潜热通量变化很小,地表温度略有升高,而感热通量和净辐射增加显著（月均最大差值为7 W·m-2）。土壤质地和亮度对模拟的影响主要存在于降水少、植被覆盖度低的3～5月。     

用于区域陆面过程模拟的土壤特征参数的空间插值方法研究

用于气候模型的陆地过程模型包括陆地水文过程模型和地球生物化学过程模型等,它们需要网格化的土壤物理和化学属性资料。目前,用于该类模型的土壤资料基本上是来源于20世纪70年代联合国粮农组织的1：5000000土壤图和4300多个土壤剖面的属件资料,其中所用的中国地区的土壤剖面资料不足200个。这些资料显然不能很好地表达中国区域土壤的空间分异性。早在20世纪80年代中国就开展了大规模全国范围的土壤普查,积累了数以万计土壤剖面的属性资料,但都是纸质数据。根据需要,作者已数字化近10000个中国土壤剖面的属性数据。为了模型的应用,需要对属性数据进行空间网格化处理。但土壤具有高度的空间分异性,为了使网格数据具有好的空间代表性,需要对空间插值方法进行研究。利用空间插值的方法对土壤要素的空间变异的研究,已有大量工作,但所研究区域范围较小,要素单一。作者基于1：1000000土壤地图,利用反距离权重空间插值法,对中国土壤属性进行了空间插值,最终结果表明：对于土壤中砂粒含量、粘粒含量、有机质值以及全氮含量的插值计算,基于相邻剖面反距离权重法的空间插值效果要优于同一土属下土种的空间插值;而对于粉粒含量、全磷含量和pH值的插值计算,利用同一土属下土种的空间插值效果则更优;对于土壤全钾含量的插值结果,两种方法相差不大。     

湖南夏季降水日变化特征

利用湖南96个测站13年的逐时自记降水资料, 分析了夏季（6~8月）降水日变化特征。结果表明, 湖南夏季降水日变化呈现显著的区域差异。湘东南降水量、 降水频次峰值主要出现在午后到傍晚, 而其它地区的降水峰值一般出现在清晨。进一步分析显示, 降水频次峰值出现时次分布更集中, 区域特征更鲜明。湘西北、 湘东南区域平均的累积降水量、 降水频次及降水强度的日变化在清晨和午后均呈双峰型特征。湘西北主（次）峰值出现的时间大致与湘东南次（主）峰值出现的时间对应。同时, 降水日变化与降水持续时间密切相关。持续5~10 h降水事件是持续1~4 h事件与持续10 h以上事件降水量峰值出现时间发生显著变化的过渡降水事件。持续1~4 h（10 h以上）的降水事件的极值降水始发时间为午后至傍晚（夜间）。在不同持续时间的降水事件中, 持续2 h降水的累积量最大。     

利用微波辐射计对南京2013年12月霾天大气温湿结构的探测分析

利用高时间分辨率的微波辐射计数据分析南京逆温层结构与雾霾天气的关系。首先将南京MP-3000A型地基微波辐射计2013年12月的数据与常规探空资料的温度和相对湿度进行对比,以确定微波辐射计数据的可用性,结果表明:微波辐射计反演的气温与常规探空资料十分接近,而相对湿度的效果则差了很多。再利用微波辐射计对南京市2013年12月的霾天气过程进行分析,发现在受秸秆焚烧的影响阶段(12月1~9日),污染物浓度与逆温层没有明显的相关;在没有秸秆焚烧影响阶段(12月10~31日),污染物浓度变化与逆温层厚度、强度呈显著的滞后正相关,和底高有显著的滞后负相关;定量化分析表明重度污染和中度污染对应的逆温层阈值一致,轻度污染对应的逆温层阈值明显较小。     

一次冰雹过程的卫星反演分析

A case of hailstorm process occurring on 24 June 2006 in northwestern China was studied using satellite retrieval methodology. The particle effective radius （re） in the cloud tops was calculated by the reflectance in the 3.7μm channel, and cloud-top microphysical properties were vividly represented using the RGB visual multispectral classification scheme. The microphysical zones of clouds and the processes of hail formation and development are inferred using the relations of cloud-top temperature （T） versus re for the tops of convective clouds. The results show that particle effective radius was smaller near the cloud base of hailstorm. There was a deep zone of diffusional droplet growth at the low level where the particles grew slowly with height, and there existed an evident area of small ice particles in the cloud top, suggesting the existence of a strong updraft in the clouds. The low glaciated temperature indicated a great depth from the cloud base to the glaciation height, which provided a deep layer of supercooled water for hail growth.     

山西省冬季雾中能见度的数值模拟研究

利用中尺度模式MM5对2009年冬季山西省一场持续30多个小时的罕见浓雾过程进行模拟。结果表明,山西省气象局现行的MM5设计方案对雾区的模拟结果与实测结果基本一致,但夜间近地层的温度存在冷偏差&相对湿度偏高.另外,由于山西省空气污染较重,空气中的粒子数对能见度的影响不能忽略,因此仅用能见度(Vis)与液态水含量（LWC）的参数化方案估算的能见度,只有在浓雾时才与实测一致,具有很大的局限性;而利用能见度(Vis) 与相对湿度（RH）的参数化方案估算的能见度比实测值偏大,但在能见度的趋势预报上与实测值基本一致。用太原机场的实测资料对Vis-RH关系式进行修订后&其估算的能见度更加准确&可以为业务预报提供参考.     

Sensitivity of the Carbon Storage of Potential Vegetation to Historical Climate Variability and CO2 in Continental China

The interest in the national levels of the terrestrial carbon sink and its spatial and temporal variability with the climate and CO2 concentrations has been increasing. How the climate and the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations in the last century affect the carbon storage in continental China was investigated in this study by using the Modified Sheffield Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (M-SDGVM). The estimates of the M-SDGVM indicated that during the past 100 years a combination of increasing CO2 with historical temperature and precipitation variability in continental China have caused the total vegetation carbon storage to increase by 2.04 Pg C, with 2.07 Pg C gained in the vegetation biomass but 0.03 Pg C lost from the organic soil carbon matter. The increasing CO2 concentration in the 20th century is primarily responsible for the increase of the total potential vegetation carbon. These factorial experiments show that temperature variability alone decreases the total carbon storage by 1.36 Pg C and precipitation variability alone causes a loss of 1.99 Pg C. The effect of the increasing CO2 concentration alone increased the total carbon storage in the potential vegetation of China by 3.22 Pg C over the past 100 years. With the changing of the climate, the CO2 fertilization on China's ecosystems is the result of the enhanced net biome production (NBP), which is caused by a greater stimulation of the gross primary production (GPP) than the total soil-vegetation respiration. Our study also shows notable interannual and decadal variations in the net carbon exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems in China due to the historical climate variability.     

国外前寒武纪铁建造的研究进展与有待深入探讨的问题

形成于早前寒武纪的铁建造,是一种富铁〔w(TFe)>15%〕的硅质化学沉积岩,其主要矿物组成是铁氧化物(磁铁矿和赤铁矿)及石英。根据铁建造的岩相学特征,将其划分为条带状铁建造和粒状铁建造;根据铁建造的沉积环境,将条带状铁建造划分为与火山岩有关的Algoma型和与细碎屑-碳酸盐岩有关的Superior型2种类型。铁建造的出现,起始于38亿年前,主要集中于28～18亿年,在18亿年之后有一个连续的缺失,但在8亿年左右因雪球事件而重新少量出现。Algoma型铁建造主要发育于中-新太古代,而Superior型则集中出现于古元古代;前者多形成于前寒武纪克拉通化之前,与海相火山活动和陆壳巨量增生密切相关,而后者多形成于克拉通化之后,与稳定发育的克拉通盆地和大气氧含量增加有关。Algoma型铁矿具有单个矿体规模较小、品位较低和多层发育等特征,而Superior型铁矿则具有单个矿体规模较大、品位较高、层位稳定等特征。由于铁建造在地质历史上大规模发育且不重复出现,所以,开展铁建造的研究不仅具有经济价值,而且具有重要的科学意义。铁建造的研究趋势是,在世界范围内进一步深化地球早期构造(地幔柱与早期板块构造)演化、水圈及大气圈组成与演化、地球早期生物活动,以及铁建造成因和时空分布规律等方面的研究。
