Wave effect on the ocean circulations through mass transport and wave-induced pumping

The wave Coriolis-Stokes-Force-modified ocean momentum equations are reviewed in this paper and the wave Stokes transport is pointed out to be part of the ocean circulations. Using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts 40-year reanalysis data (ERA-40 data) and the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) version 2.2.4 data, the magnitude of this transport is compared with that of wind-driven Sverdrup transport and a 5-to-10-precent contribution by the wave Stokes transport is found. Both transports are stronger in boreal winter than in summers. The wave effect can be either contribution or cancellation in different seasons. Examination with Kuroshio transport verifies similar seasonal variations. The clarification of the efficient wave boundary condition helps to understand the role of waves in mass transport. It acts as surface wind stress and can be functional down to the bottom of the ageostrophic layer. The pumping velocities resulting from wave-induced stress are zonally distributed and are significant in relatively high latitudes. Further work will focus on the model performance of the wave-stress-changed-boundary and the role of swells in the eastern part of the oceans.     

近红外CO2高光谱探测仪通道选择

近红外波段 (1.6 μm) 遥感可探测大气CO₂含量信息,应用于碳循环研究中。宽波段、高分辨率不但对仪器研制是一个挑战,而且巨大的数据量对观测的正演、反演也是一个挑战性课题。该文应用自由度及信息量分析法,对近红外高光谱波段中探测通道进行CO₂信息量分析,选择前20~100个高信息量的CO₂探测通道,并进行了反演模拟测试。结果表明:前20个高信息量通道占所有通道总信息量的76.4%,仅用所选的前20个通道进行反演,与所有通道参加反演的结果相比,误差增加0.3×10-6;通道数增至60时,信息量增加,通道数再增加,信息量则增加不显著;CO₂反演误差存在相似的关系。在高CO₂信息量分布上,弱吸收性质的1.6 μm波段和强吸收性质的2.06 μm波段表现出不同特点。     

Surface characterization of maize-straw-derived biochars and their sorption performance for MTBE and benzene

Biochars generated at various temperatures might show significant differences in sorption for organic contaminants. In this study, a series of biochars, generated from pyrolyzing maize straws at different temperatures, were systematically characterized. The characterization results showed that with increasing pyrolysis temperature, the surface areas, micropore areas and aromaticity of biochars were enhanced. Batch experiments were conducted to study methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and benzene sorption to biochars. The results indicated that the sorption capacity of benzene to biochars was higher than that of MTBE. The higher pyrolyzed temperature of biochars resulted in a stronger sorption affinity for target compounds, and the dominant sorption mechanisms varied for biochars pyrolyzed at different temperatures. The sorption to biochars pyrolyzed at 700 and 800 °C performed a high adsorption capacity, which indicated that they might be a promising sorbent to remove MTBE and benzene from water. Biochar pyrolyzed at 400 °C showed transitional sorption mechanisms from partition to adsorption for MTBE and benzene. Pore-filling was a possible sorption mechanism to biochars pyrolyzed at high temperature.     

The comparison analysis of Chinese public perception of earthquakes on different time scales

China has suffered from severe earthquake disasters in recent years. In order to explore the impact of severe earthquakes on public risk perception on different time scales, four surveys were conducted twice each after the severe Wenchuan and Yushu earthquakes. t tests were performed between two consecutive surveys to explore the change of public risk attitudes. The results demonstrated that after the two severe earthquakes, the public seismic risk acceptance has increased over time, and the comparison between pre- and post-Yushu earthquake illustrated that the severe disaster had more impact on vulnerable population such as females, children and low-income people. Moreover, linear regression models were employed to find the determining factors of public acceptance towards earthquake risks. It was discovered that the public perceived earthquake effect had significant negative relationship with seismic risk acceptance, and public trust towards local government had positive relationship with the risk acceptance. This study could help government to gain better understanding of public mental status and take more effective disaster preparedness measures when preventing and responding to a severe earthquake.     

NH4Cl水溶液的微观结构和宏观物性研究

通过拉曼光谱、同步辐射X射线散射和密度泛函理论(DFT)模拟,研究了质量分数为1.0 %-28.0 %的NH₄Cl水溶液的微观结构变化。同时在室温下测量了粘度、接触角和电导率。由拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论模拟结果可知,当溶质浓度升高至10.0 %时,在2900 cm_-1^和3100 cm_-1^{附近出现了明显的}N-H作用峰,且随着质量分数的升高,NH₄Cl水溶液中的氢键类型发生了转变。X射线散射结果表明,当NH₄Cl水溶液质量分数升高至10.0 %时,差值对分布函数G(r)在2.98 ?附近出现明显双峰,表明在该浓度下溶液中NH₄₊^-Cl_-^{接触离子对开始成为主要微观作用形式。对}NH₄Cl水溶液的宏观物性研究表明,粘度、接触角和电导率均随着NH₄Cl水溶液质量分数的增加而增大。作者推断,NH₄Cl水溶液中氢键类型的转变、O-H...N键占比增多以及逐渐增加的NH₄₊^-Cl_-^{接触离子对},是粘度和接触角随溶质浓度增加而增加的微观本质因素;电导率的增加与溶液中有效导电离子数量增加有关。     

2011—2012年近海北上热带气旋对山东半岛风雨影响的分析

通过对2011年5号热带风暴“米雷”、9号强热带风暴“梅花”和2012年15号台风“布拉万”共3个近海北上热带气旋的对比分析发现,这类热带气旋给山东半岛造成的影响表现出“先雨后风”的特点。在近海北上热带气旋的影响下,山东半岛的降水基本呈东西向阶梯型分布,同量级的雨带基本呈南北向分布,某地区降水的起止时间、降水量峰值和风速极值的出现时段与热带气旋距该地的距离有一定的对应关系。热带气旋中心位置越过30°N和到达距某地区最近距离的时间对该地降雨的起止时间、降雨峰值和风速极值出现的时段具有一定的指示意义。

开花后淹水对小麦旗叶叶肉细胞及产量的影响

选用小麦品种济麦20和泰农18,采用池栽补灌淹水方法,研究开花期及灌浆期3、6、9、12d淹水对小麦旗叶叶肉细胞形态及籽粒产量的影响.开花期淹水,减少叶肉细胞的裂解,延缓了旗叶衰老;灌浆期淹水,则加剧了叶肉细胞的裂解,旗叶的衰老加速.除淹水3d外,两时期6-12 d淹水均引起籽粒产量降低.产量降低的主导因素是粒数的减少,其次是粒重的降低.
