华北地区地下流体中期和转折型短期异常成因分析

结合观测井孔的水文地质条件、大气降水资料 ,深入剖析了华北地区水位、水氡的中期和转折型短期异常变化的直接原因 ,认为水位异常是由于降水量的增大与减少造成的 ,其形成机制主要为降水渗入补给 ;水氡异常的形成原因主要为降水渗入 -混合机制。进而提出“深浅构造的互动作用” ,用以解释流体异常与地震的关系 ,其论点是 :降水、地下水变化可诱发 (活化 )浅层的构造变动 ,而浅层构造活动又引发深部构造活动和地震的发生 ;反之 ,深部构造的活动和地震的孕育 ,使浅层岩石的应力增强 ,在降水、地下水的诱发作用下 ,可导致浅层的构造活动。降水引起的地下水异常是一种广义的地震前兆     

水化学分析方法在地下水异常核实中的应用

地壳形变与地下水动态异常特征研究进展

地壳变形与地下流体之间既相互联系又相互影响。地壳形变异常是地壳构造活动最直接的表现,是物理含义最为明确的地震前兆之一;地下流体异常能够提供多种型式的构造活动过程(包括地震)的前兆信息。两类异常以不同的方式和特点反映出地震孕育过程中伴随的前兆信息,从而成为地震预报的重要手段。本文综述了有关地壳形变与地下水动态异常特征方面的研究成果,从机理和前兆特征方面归纳了两种异常的相互关系。

大同6.1级地震前后河北省地下水位前兆异常分析

2012年10月后皖27井水位下降成因分析*

地下水动态的异常变化既有可能是地震前兆异常信息,也有可能是某种环境干扰所引起的,如何及时识别并排除环境干扰,对于成功判定地震前兆异常至关重要。马鞍山皖27井水位自2012年10月以来反复出现下降型异常,下降程度超正常年份最低值,最大降幅达70cm。为了准确客观地判定该异常的成因,本文利用水化学和物理相结合的方法对皖27井地下水动态变化成因及开采干扰进行分析,研究表明:大气降水在皖27井水补给源中占了一定的份额,除此之外,还存在深部补给来源;深井抽水活动影响着皖27井水位的变化,但不能将皖27井本次异常变化完全归因于深井抽水,区域构造活动是引起本次水位异常的主要原因。本文所采取的异常识别与分析方法,为今后地下水动态异常识别及前兆判定工作提供重要依据。     

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.

Foreword

Destructive earthquakes have caused great damage in China and the United States and collapsing buildings havecaused many deaths and injuries. The field of earthquake engineering studies earthquake hazards, the occurrence ofearthquakes of various magnitudes, the nature of the ground shaking during an earthquake, the vibration of structuresduring earthquakes, the strengthening of existing structures and the design of new structures to be earthquake resistant,and finally, how to cope with earthquake damage and restore a city to normal functioning. Such efforts are in progressin both countries, but unfortunately, the language barrier interferes with the free flow of information between China andthe Untied States. It would be mutually beneficial if some means could be developed to promote the exchangeof information across the Pacific Ocean. This new journal has been established for this purpose and its success willbe an important step in promoting earthquake engineering in China and the United States.

Enhancing remote sensing research on global change to improve our understanding on Earth system processes

正Global Change includes climate change and other environmental changes caused by the joint interaction among various layers of Earth. From the positive side, global change provides new opportunities to human and other living forms on Earth. In the meantime, it creates tremendous challenges and negative impact. At present, the negative impacts have reached all primary processes of the global ecosystem and every aspect of human society, especially causing degradation of the ecosystem. For instance, intensive deforestation causes decline of biodiversity; global warming causes sea level rise and increases     

Dissolved Carbohydrate Concentration,Composition, and Bioavailability to Microbial Heterotrophs in Stream Water

Dissolved total carbohydrates (DTCH), dissolved free monosaccharides (DFMS), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), biodegradable DOC (BDOC), and humic substances (HS) were measured in White Clay Creek (WCC), a stream in southeastern Pennsylvania Piedmont, USA. Samples were collected over different seasons and under baseflow and stormflow conditions. DOC concentrations ranged from 1.0 to 12.8 mg/L C with the highest concentrations associated with stormflows. Carbohydrates ranged from 0.42 to 12.4 μM and accounted for 2.9 to 12.7% of the DOC. Humic substances represented the major DOC fraction, accounting for 55 to 72% of the DOC pool under all flow conditions. The humic fraction had a lower carbohydrate content (4.4%) than the non-humic fraction of DOC (7.2%). Stormflow DOC was enriched in carbohydrates relative to baseflow DOC, but the percentage of humic-C changed little. Carbohydrates were primarily present as dissolved polysaccharides (55%), but a significant fraction was bound to humic substances (40%), while a small proportion was present as monosaccharides (5%). The major monosaccharides in stream water, listed in order of decreasing concentration, included glucose, galactose, rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, mannose, and fucose. On average (30.6 ± 7.4)% (n = 44) of the stream water DOC was biodegradable, and carbohydrates accounted for 9.9 to 17.7% of the BDOC.
