Raindrop Size Distribution Parameters Retrieved from Xinfeng C-Band Polarimetric Radar Observations

The objective of this research was to acquire a raindrop size distribution (DSDs) retrieved from C-band polarimetric radar observations scheme for the first time in south China.An observation period of the precipitation process was selected,and the shape-slope (μ-Λ) relationship of this region was statistically analyzed using the raindrop sample observations from the two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) at Xinfeng Station,Guangdong Province.Simulated data of the C-band polarimetric radar reflectivity Z_(HH)and differential reflectivity Z_(DR)were obtained through scattering simulation.The simulation data were combined with DSD fitting to determine the Z_(DR)-Λand log_(10)(Z_(HH)/N_0)-Λrelationships.Using Xinfeng C-band polarimetric radar observations Z_(DR)and Z_(HH),the raindrop Gamma size distribution parametersμ,Λ,and N_0were retrieved.A scheme for using C-band polarimetric radar to retrieve the DSDs was developed.This research revealed that during precipitation process,the DSDs obtained using the C-band polarimetric radar retrieval scheme are similar to the 2DVD observations,the precipitation characteristics of rainfall intensity (R),mass-weighted mean diameter (D_m) and intercept parameter (N_w) with time obtained by radar retrieval are basically consistent with the observational results of the 2DVD.This scheme establishes the relationship between the observations of the C-band polarimetric radar and the physical quantities of the numerical model.This method not only can test the prediction of the model data assimilation system on the convective scale and determine error sources,but also can improve the microphysical precipitation processes analysis and radar quantitative precipitation estimation.The present research will facilitate radar data assimilation in the future.     

青藏高原玉树混杂带糜棱岩化石英闪长岩年代学和地球化学研究

玉树混杂带内含有大量金沙江西段古特提斯演化信息,对其物质组成进行详细解剖,有望厘清青藏高原东北缘的特提斯演化过程。本文以该带内糜棱岩化岩体为研究对象,研究其岩石学、构造变形特征,报道其锆石U-Pb年龄、黑云母Ar-Ar年龄、主量、微量和Sr-Nd同位素数据,结合区域岩浆事件和构造变形资料讨论大地构造意义。研究表明该岩体主要为石英闪长岩,变形强烈,发育北西西向糜棱面理,面理走向与区域构造线一致。岩石为准铝质中-高钾钙碱性系列,富集K,Rb,Ba,Th等大离子亲石元素, 亏损高场强元素,具有高Sr负Nd的同位素组成,为基性下地壳部分熔融的产物。石英闪长岩锆石U-Pb年龄为208Ma,黑云母⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar年龄为201Ma,讨论认为前者代表岩浆结晶年龄,形成于洋盆俯冲背景;后者代表变形年龄,与区域碰撞挤压有关。     

辉绿岩脉中的俘获锆石:地壳构造-热历史的"探针"——来自玉树混杂带辉绿岩俘获锆石的研究实例

结晶程度较低的基性岩如玄武岩、辉绿岩的岩浆锆石含量一般很低,不利于用锆石原位测年方法确定其成岩时代.但这类岩石可能含有俘获锫石,通过对俘获锫石的详细研究,可以推测基性岩浆通道周围地质体的演化历史,其作用如同穿越岩石圈上部的"探针".玉树混杂岩带为一晚古生代混杂带,由变质-变形陆源碎屑岩、玄武岩、辉绿岩及辉长岩侵入体组成...
