积雪变化导致格陵兰盖高度变化

地面冰盖对气候变化的反应可能会对未来的海平面变化产生重大的影响。近年来格陵兰南部的卫星调查显示 ,较大高度的冰盖总体高度变化甚小 ,但空间变化很大。当然仅仅依靠卫星数据难以测定是什么地球物理过程引起了这种高度变化以及近年的变化速率是否超过了正常变化速率。我们利用雪粒密度增大的物理模型和根据高海拔１２个冰心再造的年雪堆积记录 ,获取了１９７８～１９８８年格陵兰南部冰盖高度的变化。该堆积导致的高度变化模式与同期卫星测量的冰盖高度变化十分吻合 ,因此１９７８～１９８８年观测的变化可以归因于积雪的变化。对更长的…     

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in bivalves from the San Francisco estuary: Spatial distributions, temporal trends, and sources (1993-2001)

Bivalve tissue samples were examined over a range of spatial and temporal scales (1993-2001) to determine PAH distributions, trends, and possible sources. Mussels (Mytilus californianus), oysters (Crassostrea gigas), and clams (Corbicula fluminea) were deployed for three months in the estuary at stations remote from known point source discharges. The range of summation operatorPAH detected in bivalves was oysters 184-6899 microg/kg dry wt (mean 678 microg/kg dry wt), mussels 21-1093 microg/kg dry wt (mean 175 microg/kg dry wt), and clams 78-720 microg/kg dry wt (mean 323 microg/kg dry wt). Linear regression analysis showed no statistically significant (p>0.05) temporal trends in clam and mussel summation operatorPAH at any of the deployment stations or estuary segments. On the other hand, a statistically significant (p<0.05) decreasing trend was found in summation operatorPAH in oysters at the Petaluma River station, and in the North Estuary segment. PAH isomer pair ratios applied as diagnostic indicators suggested that the bioaccumulated PAH were derived primarily from petroleum combustion, with lesser amounts derived from biomass and coal combustion, and unburned petroleum.     

脉冲星信号相干消色散与非相干消色散的比较研究

脉冲星信号在星际空间传播的过程中,由于星际介质的存在造成观测到的脉冲星信号发生色散,因此需要对接收的脉冲星信号进行消色散,以获得原始的脉冲星信号。目前,消色散方法主要分为两种:相干消色散和非相干消色散。相对来说相干消色散效果彻底,算法较简单,而且能保留原始数据的时间分辨率,不过计算量较大,但是现在快速进步的计算机技术已经使计算量的问题得到很好的解决。为了精确了解两种消色散方法的区别,利用相关系数的方法定量地比较了相干消色散、非相干消色散两种方法的效果:在一定的频率值之下,前者得到消色散效果优于后者。同时确定两种消色散方法在效果相同时的观测频率。

Nutrient dynamics at the sediment-water interface in a Mediterranean lagoon (Thau, France): influence of biodeposition by shellfish farming activities

The Thau Lagoon, a French Mediterranean shallow lagoon, is a site where extensive shellfish farming occurs. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the role of this activity on nutrient exchange at the sediment-water interface in relation to organic matter (OM) sedimentation and degradation. Two stations inside (C5) and outside (C4) of the shellfish farming areas were sampled at three seasons. Porewater chemistry surveys and calculated diffusive fluxes were used to evaluate the trophic status of the Thau lagoon. Quantitative (Particulate Organic Carbon) as well as qualitative OM (Hydrogen Index, Carbohydrates) analyses were performed on sediments to assess OM characteristics. Results emphasized that surficial sediments at C5 are always more enriched in OM. Porewater nutrient concentrations are 10-20 times higher at C5 than at C4. In June 2003, the porewater profiles exhibit a sharp gradient at the bottom waters, indicating a hypereutrophic status, leading to an anoxic crisis.     

一个复杂大爆发的分析

本文分析了2002.7.23国家天文台云南天文台射电频谱仪在625～1500 MHz、2600～3800 MHz和5200～7600 MHz记录到的复杂型大爆发,将此爆发与Hα耀斑、日冕物质抛射(CME)、硬X射线爆发及地球物理参数作了相关分析,得到这个事件的一些显著特征,认为这一事件电子的加速区在日冕的外层,接近625 MHz的地方,并且多次发生磁重联.磁重联以后的衰变相是湍流加速过程.     

气象信息在媒体传播中的影响因素

气象部门是科技型、基础性的公益部门,也是气象信息服务部门。随着我国社会和经济的发展,人们越来越需要气象部门为之提供预见性的信息服务。这种需求,推动气象部门不断利用各种现代技术扩大信息覆盖面,如电视、报纸、网络等媒体,及时地把气象预报预测信息传达给公众。利用各种媒体来传播气象信息,特别是在发布灾害天气气候事件的预报和警报方面,媒体发挥着重要作用。
