混沌系统的局域特征与可预报性

讨论了混沌系统的时间和空间的局域特征。首先分析了研究时间和空间局域特征的必要性。接着引进了有限时间不稳定和局域时间不稳定的概念，并对有关的计算问题进行了研究。对Ｌｏｒｅｎｚ系统的具体计算表明，随着轨线在混沌吸引子上的演变，局域不稳定特征有很大的变化，相应误差增长也有很大的变化。相应于误差迅速增长的轨线部分局限于很有限的相空间范围内，而且同误差增长缓慢的轨线部分占据的相空间区域截然可分。每一个例的可预报性依赖于轨线在相空间中所处的区域。混沌系统的这种局域特征可以是导致个例业务预报技巧之间有很大差别的主要原因。

A three‐component end‐member analysis of streamwater hydrochemistry in a small Japanese forested headwater catchment

Intensive water sampling in conjunction with hydrological observations was conducted during three different rainstorms in order to understand the effects of rainfall events on the temporal variation of streamwater chemistry in a small headwater forest catchment. Concentrations of Na⁺ and SO₄^2? decreased as the discharge rate increased. Hydrograph separation of the components was made using the three‐component model based on the end‐members mixing analysis (EMMA). The three end‐members were:

• 1 the groundwater in the saturated zone that prescribes the chemistry of the baseflow;
• 2 the throughfall that dilutes the streamwater;
• 3 the groundwater in the transient saturated zone prescribed, which was dependent on the groundwater level.

When the groundwater level was lower, only the two components, groundwater in the saturated zone and throughfall, affected the streamwater chemistry. When the groundwater level rose and the saturated zone spread, the groundwater in the transient saturated zone became the third component. When the groundwater in the transient saturated zone contributed to the discharge, this component became the dominant source and the streamwater chemistry was affected by the groundwater chemistry in the transient saturated zone. When this component was discharged as the saturation overland flow, the streamwater chemistry was greatly affected by this component. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Selection of regional historical rainfall time series as input to urban drainage simulations at ungauged locations

It has become established practice during the past 20 years to use high-resolution historical rainfall time series as input to hydrological model packages for detailed simulation of urban drainage systems. However, sufficiently long rain series are rarely available from the exact catchment in question and simulations are hence often based on available rain series from other locations. Extreme rainfall properties of importance to the performance of urban storm drainage systems vary significantly even in regions with only minor physiographic differences. Part of this variation can be explained by regional variations of the mean annual rainfall and the remaining statistical residue can be interpreted as statistical uncertainty.In Denmark, more than 75 high-resolution rain gauges are installed across a total area of 43,000 m. About 40 gauges had sufficiently long records to be included in a comprehensive national investigation where newly developed statistical regionalisation procedures were used to model the regional variation of extreme rainfalls. On this basis, a spreadsheet model was made available for estimation of extreme design rainfalls and the associated uncertainty at any location in the country. Statistics were furthermore computed to classify historical rainfall time series according to the developed regional model, and this makes it possible to assess the uncertainty related with using different historical rain series for simulations at ungauged locations.This research indicates that use of historical point rainfall data at ungauged locations introduces a significant uncertainty that is largely overlooked in today's practice. The engineering recommendation is to select historical rain series based on an evaluation of the local physiographic characteristics (e.g., the mean annual rainfall) and a (pre-defined) desired safety level of the simulations.     

低纬高原冰雹与暴雨对比分析

通过对低纬高原地区多个冰雹和暴雨个例的多方面的对比分析,发现冰雹和暴雨的发生在大气环境背景、大气层结、大气不稳定性及云图特征上既有一些相似之处,也存在一些明显的区别.研究发现,发生冰雹时,中纬度低槽较偏南,受北方天气系统影响明显;发生暴雨时,受热带系统影响明显,中纬度低槽稍偏北.在冰雹发生前,大气中层较干、低层较湿,但层结仍为较稳定的状态;在暴雨发生前,大气中、低层均较湿,层结为弱稳定状态.冰雹的发生要求下层大气气温相对较低,以使雹粒在溶化之前可到达地面,而暴雨的发生要求大气富含水汽.冰雹以冬春多见,夏季较少;暴雨以夏季较多,而冬春较少.与此对应,产生暴雨的强对流其对流强度要强于产生冰雹的,但对于同一季节发生的冰雹和暴雨,两者的对流强度是相近的.     

Seismicity, seismic input and site effects in the Sahel—Algiers region (North Algeria)

Algiers city is located in a seismogenic zone. To reduce the impact of seismic risk in this Capital city, a realistic modelling of the seismic ground motion (SGM) is conducted by using the hybrid method that combines the finite differences method and the modal summation. For this purpose, a complete database of geological, geophysical and earthquake data is constructed. A critical re-appraisal of the seismicity of the zone [2.25°E–3.50°E, 36.50°N–37.00°N] is performed and an earthquake list, for the period 1359–2002, is compiled. The analysis of existing and newly retrieved macroseismic information allowed the definition of earthquake parameters of macroseismic events for which a degree of reliability is assigned. Geological cross sections have been built up to model the SGM in the city, caused by the 1989 Mont-Chenoua and the 1924 Douéra earthquakes. Synthetic seismograms and response spectral ratio is produced for Algiers, and they show that the soft sediments in Algiers centre are responsible of the noticed amplification of the SGM.
