Determination of ice thickness, subice topography and ice vol-ume at Glacier No. 1 in Tien Shan, China by ground penetrating radar

We describe a radio-echo sounding (RES) survey for the determination of ice thickness, subglacial topography and ice volume of Glacier No. 1 , in Tien Shan, China, using ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Radar data were collected with 100-MHz antennas that were spaced at 4 m with a step size of 8 m. The images produced from radar survey clearly show the continuity of bedrock echoes and the undulation features of the bedrock surface. Radar results show that the maximum ice thickness of Glacier No. 1 is 133 m, the thickness of the east branch of Glacier No. 1 averages at 58. 77 m while that of the west branch of Glacier No. 1 averages at 44. 84 m. Calculation on ice volume indicates that the ice volume of the east branch of Glacier No. 1 is 51. 87 × 106 m3 and that of the west branch of Glacier No. 1 is 20. 21 × 106 m3. The amplitude of the undulation of the bedrock surface topography revealed by radar profiles is larger than that of the glacier surface topography, indicating that the surface relief does     

北极楚科奇海海冰特征研究——以1999年夏季为例

对北冰洋楚科奇海海冰分布、厚度、气/冰/海界面温度场观测,钻取海冰冰芯,观测冰结构的变化,发现3种海冰组合结构: 1)表面融化型; 2)表面和底部融化型; 3)整体融化型. 海冰结构形成的热力学过程为:在气/冰界面上,海冰上表面吸收辐射能使冰体升温,出现表面融化; 在冰/海水界面上,海冰盘与开阔水域的相间分布、相对运动,将周围温度较高的水体输送到海冰的底部,加热、融化海冰底部; 冰体升温,冰晶间盐水膜首先融化,分离冰晶,破坏海冰整体结构. 冰的相变吸热,使其温度维持在融点, 这些过程均衡了夏季北冰洋的温度变化.

探地雷达技术是一种利用电磁波反射原理探测地下介质分布特征的地球物理勘探技术，其探测方式主要有剖面法(Common Depth Point)和宽角法(Wide Angle Reflection and Refraction)两种。不同的探测方式可解决不同的冰川问题。探地雷达在冰川学中广泛应用于探测冰体厚度、水下地形、冰裂缝、冰体内部沉积层位、冰川水文特征、划分冰川冰类型等，为水下槽谷、冰川结构、冰川流动机制、水资源评估及气候与环境变化的研究提供丰富可靠的数据。     

Summer sea ice characteristics of the Chukchi Sea

During August 1999, we investigated sea ice characteristics; its distribution, surface feature, thickness, ice floe movement, and the temperature field around inter-borders of air/ice/seawater in the Chukchi Sea. Thirteen ice cores were drilled at 11 floe stations in the area of 72°24′ 77°18′N, 153°34′ 163°28′W and the ice core structure was observed. From field observation, three melting processes of ice were observed; surface layer melting, surface and bottom layers melting, and all of ice melting. The observation of temperature fields around sea ice floes showed that the bottom melting under the ice floes were important process. As ice floes and open water areas were alternately distributed in summer Arctic Ocean; the water under ice was colder than the open water by 0.4 2.8℃. The sun radiation heated seawater in open sea areas so that the warmer water went to the bottom when the ice floes move to those areas. This causes ice melting to start at the bottom of the ice floes. This process can balance effectively the temperature fluctuating in the sea in summer. From the crystalline structure of sea ice observed from the cores, it was concluded that the ice was composed of ice crystals and brine-ice films. During the sea ice melting, the brine-ice films between ice crystals melted firstly; then the ice crystals were encircled by brine films; the sea ice became the mixture of ice and liquid brine. At the end of melting, the ice crystals would be separated each other, the bond between ice crystals weakens and this leads to the collapse of the ice sheet.

电磁感应技术在波罗的海海冰厚度探测中的应用研究

海冰作为冰雪圈的重要组成部分,对气候变化十分敏感,海冰物理过程研究需要得到精确的海冰厚度。本文介绍一种能够高效探测海冰厚度的电磁感应方法及其在波罗的海(Baltic Sea)的成功应用。该技术方法针对海冰和海水的电特性,利用电磁感应原理精确探测仪器至冰水交界面的距离,以实现海冰厚度的测定。通过电磁感应(EM)仪直接观测的视电导率与同点位钻孔测量数据对比分析,获得视电导率与海冰厚度的转换关系式,并对通过该关系式计算出的海冰厚度进行验证,表明电磁感应技术能够获得可靠的海冰厚度数据,平均相对误差仅为12%。对波西尼亚海湾(Bothnian Bay)海冰厚度探测剖面的统计结果表明,2007年春季该区域平整冰厚度范围在0.4-0.6m之间。     

鸣沙表面结构特征与共鸣机制的模拟实验研究

鸣沙发声机制是风沙物理学中长期悬而未决的重要问题. 在前人研究的基础上, 通过采自沙漠和海滩哑沙及敦煌鸣沙山鸣沙变哑的哑沙的冲洗实验、玻璃微珠表面化学溶蚀实验、表面覆盖实验及SEM的分析. 发现: 鸣沙发声与沙粒表面有无 SiO₂凝胶无关, 也与其表面的化学组成无关, 而与自然沙粒表面由风蚀、水蚀、化学溶蚀及硅凝胶沉淀等多种因素所形成的多孔(坑)状物理结构所构成的共鸣腔有关. 其共鸣机制与亥姆霍兹共鸣腔相似. 其次, 粉尘或更细的黏粒等杂质侵入沙粒表面的孔洞所产生的阻尼作用, 可导致鸣沙共鸣机制丧失而变为哑沙. 因此, 清除石英颗粒表面各种细小杂质对多孔结构的污染是恢复哑沙发声的有效途径
