Contribution of SST change to multidecadal global and continental surface air temperature trends between 1910 and 2013

Climate Dynamics - The global mean surface air temperature (GMST) shows multidecadal variability over the period of 1910–2013, with an increasing trend. This study quantifies the contribution...     

库木托拜沙漠公路风沙-风雪复合灾害的形成机制及治理方案

伴随交通建设的快速发展,极端环境对交通造成了复杂多样的灾害。穿越新疆库木托拜沙漠的克特公路冬季遭遇频发的风沙-风雪复合灾害,危害严重。此种灾害的发生与区域特殊孕灾环境有关（冬季有强劲的“闹海风”和丰富的风沙（雪）源）,也与公路防沙体系布局和路基断面设置以及清沙（雪）堆放等人为扰动有关。本研究按照因地制宜、因害设防、顺应自然、标本兼治的防治原则,提出了加强防护能力、机械防治与植物防治相衔接的防治思路,制定了路侧地形平整、阻-固-输结合防护体系建设及后期科学管护的综合治理方案,以统筹防治春季风沙灾害与冬季风沙-风雪复合灾害。     

The CLEAN method of spectral analysis and its application to the oscillations of the cataclysmic variable TT Arietis

We studied the one-dimensional spectral analysis CLEAN applied to time series with unequal intervals, tested it with simulated signal, and showed it to be also applicable to noisy series, only the quality of the spectrum is closely correlated with the noise intensity. Applying this method to photometric data of the cataclysmic variable TT Ari quasi-periodic oscillations with periods around 20 min are recovered.     

Material records for Mesozoic destruction of the North China Craton by subduction of the Paleo-Pacific slab

It is well known that the destruction of the North China Carton(NCC) is closely related to subduction of the PaleoPacific slab, but materials recording such subduction has not been identified at the peak time of decratonization. This paper presents data of whole-rock major and trace elements and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopes and zircon U-Pb ages and Hf-O isotopes for Mesozoic volcanic rocks from the Liaodong-Jinan region in the northeastern NCC, in order to trace the subduction-related materials in their source and origin. The Mesozoic volcanic rocks in the Liaodong-Jinan region are mainly composed of two series of rocks, including alkaline basaltic trachyandesite, trachyandesite and trachyte, and subalkaline trachyandesite and andesite. Zircon U-Pb dating yields eruption ages of 129–124 Ma for these rocks. The Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks are all enriched in LILEs(such as Rb, Sr, Ba and Th) and LREEs, depleted in HFSEs(such as Nb, Ta and Ti), indicating that they were originated from mantle sources that had been modified by subducted crustal materials. However, they have relatively heterogeneous and variable isotopic compositions. The alkaline basaltic trachyandesite, trachyandesite and trachyte have enriched whole-rock Sr-Nd-Hf and zircon Hf isotopic compositions and mantle-like δ~(18)O values, suggesting that they were derived from low-degree partial melting of an isotopically enriched lithospheric mantle source. In contrast, the subalkaline trachyandesite and andesite have relatively depleted isotopic compositions with zircon ε_(Hf)(t) values up to +5.2 and heavy zircon O isotopic compositions with δ~(18)O values of +8.1‰ to +9.0‰, indicating that they were originated from a lithospheric mantle source that had been metasomatized by melts/fluids derived from the recycled low-T altered oceanic basalt. All of these geochemical features suggest that the Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks in the Liaodong-Jinan region would result from mixing of mafic magmas with different compositions. Such magmas were originated from the enriched lithospheric mantle and the young metasomatized mantle, respectively, with variable extents of enrichment and depletion in trace elements, radiogenic isotopes and O isotopes. Importantly, the identification of the low-T altered oceanic crust component in the origin of Early Cretaceous volcanic rocks by the zircon Hf-O isotopes provides affirmative isotopic evidence and direct material records for Mesozoic subduction of the Paleo-Pacific slab that induced decratonization of the North China Craton.     

乌梁素海冰封期湖泊冰盖组构特征对污染物分布的影响

为探究富营养化浅水湖泊季节性冰盖污染物分布规律,于2013-2014年冰封期,钻取乌梁素海湖泊冰盖冰芯试样,观测冰厚并对冰芯晶体结构、气泡含量、污染物浓度(总氮、总磷和COD_(Cr))进行分析.结果表明:冰盖可分为4层,中间2层冰晶体粒径较大且气泡含量较少,为冰盖热力生长区.冰盖以柱状晶体居多,粒径随深度增加而增加,气泡含量随冰盖密度增加而减少.冰盖结构特征与污染物分布具有相关关系,冰芯密度及气泡分布与总氮、总磷和COD_(Cr)相关关系分别为0.8965、0.8718、0.8184,并建立多元回归模型揭示冰封期湖泊水质特征,为季节性湖泊冰盖研究及冰封期湖泊水资源规划和管理提供理论依据.
