湿润亚热带花岗岩风化壳发育红壤中不同类型磁赤铁矿及其成因

本研究对福建省武夷山市发育于花岗岩风化壳上的亚热带红壤剖面进行了系统的热磁和常温磁学测量,剖析该剖面磁学性质与成土因素（气候和母质）的关系,探讨2种类型磁赤铁矿的成因。研究结果表明：该剖面具有较高的亚铁磁性矿物含量,磁颗粒以多畴（MD）颗粒为主。土壤发育过程中,成土作用使磁颗粒变细、单畴（SD）颗粒增加、亚铁磁性矿物含量降低使得磁化率减小。红壤剖面中至少存在2种不同类型的磁赤铁矿：磁赤铁矿A,在300~450℃即转化为赤铁矿,不能测得居里点;磁赤铁矿B,在650℃以上才较为完全地转化为赤铁矿,可测得645℃的居里点。磁赤铁矿A是水铁矿转化为赤铁矿的中间产物,该化学反应过程在氧化环境下广泛存在,是被普遍认识的一类磁赤铁矿。土壤淀积层、淀积-母质过渡层、母质层的主导磁性矿物磁赤铁矿B由含铁硅酸盐矿物经风化成土作用演化而成,而非原生磁铁矿低温氧化;磁赤铁矿B形成与气候条件（较高的气温）和母岩/母质物质组成有关,两者缺一不可。

Pattern and persistence of groundwater level fluctuation in humid tropical regoliths: a case study from Nigeria

This paper is an analytical presentation of the pattern and persistence of groundwater level fluctuation in humid tropical regoliths. Using the Basement Complex in SW Nigeria as a microcosm of the crystalline rock environments in the humid tropics, the groundwater level fluctuation was monitored in three study areas for a number of consecutive years at the sites of observation wells sunk in thick regoliths. The sample data on saturated zone thickness and depth of water in well were analyzed by rigorous but suitable statistical techniques to identify the groundwater level fluctuation pattern and to asses its persistence. The fluctuation pattern in each study area is optimally described by an empirical equation and is perfectly in consonance with the prevailing rainfall regime. Tests for the persistence of the fluctuation pattern reveal that the groundwater regimes in the regoliths of the study areas are almost identical. by reference to the findings of some other research workers elsewhere in the humid tropics it is inferred, subject to verification from further research, that a generally similar groundwater regime prevails in humid tropical regoliths in low-relief deeply weathered landscapes.

Determination of radon exhalation from granite, dolerite and marbles decorative stones of the Azad Kashmir area, Pakistan

Extensive export quality reserves of granite, dolerite and marbles which are used for interior decorations as wall facing, paving floors, kitchen counter tops, etc., are available in Azad Kashmir. Since these stones contain radium in trace amounts, therefore, its use as a building material may be a potential source of indoor radon. In order to assess health hazards due to the use of these stones as a building material, samples were collected from different mining sites. After processing, these samples were placed in plastic containers and box type radon detectors were installed in it at the height of 25 cm above the surface of the samples. The containers were then hermetically sealed. After 60 days of exposure to radon, CR-39 detectors were etched in 6 M NaOH at 70 °C for 9 h and measured track densities were related to radon concentration. Radon exhalation rate form the studied granites, marble and dolerite samples varied from 87 ± 26 to 353 ± 36 mBq m^?2h^?1, 79 ± 25 to 650 ± 42 mBq m^?2h^?1 and 90 ± 26 to 324 ± 36 mBq m^?2h^?1, respectively. These decorative stones are therefore used in buildings and for export purposes as the observed radon exhalation values are smaller than that of the EPA recommended-action level.     

基于试验的花岗岩渐进破坏本构模型研究

对取自大渡河流域大岗山电站的花岗岩进行了系统的试验研究,得到了不同围压下的应力-应变曲线。根据岩样受力过程中内部微裂纹的活动状态,定义了4个特征应力,即闭合应力、起裂应力、破损应力、峰值应力,来反映花岗岩的渐进破坏过程,特征应力也反映了岩石内部的损伤程度。依据特征应力,将试验曲线分为4个阶段,并对每一阶段分别求取变形模量和泊松比。结果表明,变形模量不仅与围压有关,且与岩石的损伤程度有关,而泊松比只取决于岩石的损伤程度。特征应力可由体积应变曲线结合线性回归技术准确求取。在此基础上,提出了一个考虑花岗岩渐进破坏的本构模型。在该模型中,变形参数(弹性模量、泊松比)是应力状态的函数,强度参数（凝聚力、内摩擦角）是塑性变形的函数。将该模型嵌入大型有限元分析软件ABAQUS,对不同围压下的花岗岩室内压缩试验进行模拟,结果表明,模拟所得的应力-应变曲线与试验曲线的吻合程度较高,模型能反映花岗岩等脆性岩石的峰前非线性力学行为。     

Effect of anorthite on granite phase relations: Experimental data and models

New experimental data on the effect of anorthite (An) on liquidus phase equilibria in the system Qz–Ab–Or are presented. The data were obtained for 5 wt% An added to variable Qz/Ab/Or compositions at 300 MPa and under H₂O-saturated conditions. Crystal–liquid equilibria were determined for 13 synthetic glass compositions made from gels in experiments performed between 660 and 750 °C in cold-seal pressure vessels. Forward and reversal experiments were systematically conducted on each composition to demonstrate equilibrium. A total of 51 charges was examined. Three crystalline phases, quartz, alkali feldspar and plagioclase appear on the H₂O-saturated liquidus surface. The determined minimum liquidus 5 wt% An “piercing” point (39% Qz, 33% Ab, 28% Or) is shifted away from the Ab apex toward the Qz–Or sideline when compared with the An-free 300 MPa H₂O-saturated minimum. This shift is of the same type as that observed at 100 MPa in the same system and at 200 MPa in a rhyolitic system. The new experimental results are used to test both empirical and thermodynamic models for silicic magmas. Empirical models reproduce reasonably well the new experimental data, although more sophisticated calculations schemes appear to be required to improve their accuracy. The new experimental results in the haplogranodiorite system are not well reproduced with the model of Holland and Powell (2001), mainly because plagioclase stability appears greatly enhanced in the model. Rhyolite-MELTS satisfactorily reproduces the Qz-, Pl- and Af-liquid phase equilibria, but model H₂O solubilities are significantly lower and crystallization temperatures higher than in experiments.     

红山含黄玉花岗岩的形成时代及其成矿能力分析

对闽西南红山含黄玉花岗岩进行了LAM-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年以及地球化学对比研究。地球化学分析显示红山花岗岩具有富F和高演化的地球化学特征,富含稀有和有色金属成矿元素,如Sn含量为(15·3~54·0)×10-6,W含量(3·04~14·9)×10-6,Nb含量为(22·5~36·7)×10-6,Ta含量为(3·37~7·31)×10-6,U、Th含量分别(6~30)×10-6和(12·1~36·4)×10-6。与含矿花岗岩的对比研究表明红山花岗岩很可能存在与之有成因联系的Sn、U矿床。地球化学填图显示了元素在空间上的分带变化,指出与红山花岗岩有关的成矿作用最可能发生在岩体的东南端,即116°8′E~116°10′E和25°29′N~25°32′N的区域。锆石U-Pb定年结果表明红山花岗岩形成于印支期(~226Ma),因此,其在形成时代、地质产状和成矿作用上不同于华南大多数形成于燕山晚期的含黄玉花岗质岩石。南岭基底变质岩富含W、Sn、Nb、Ta等成矿元素,它们是华南(特别是南岭地区)含矿花岗岩中成矿元素富集的最主要物质来源。     

Validation of theoretical footprint models using experimental measurements of turbulent fluxes over maize fields in Po Valley

Representative source area of turbulent fluxes measured by eddy covariance stations is an important issue which has not yet been fully investigated. In particular, the validation of the analytical footprint models is generally based on the comparison with Lagrangian model predictions, while experimental results are not largely diffused in literature. In this work, spatial distribution of carbon dioxide, latent and sensible heat fluxes across two different maize fields in Po Valley, is used to validate two theoretical footprint models. Experiments are performed in two totally different scenarios at bare and vegetated soils using two eddy covariance systems: one fixed station which is located about in the middle of the field and a mobile station which is placed at various distances from the field edge to investigate the horizontal variation of the vertical scalar fluxes. The first objective of this work is to provide detailed information about the spatial distribution of turbulent fluxes across Po Valley characteristic fields at bare and vegetated soils, highlighting peculiarities and uniqueness. The second objective consists in the comparison between mobile measurements of carbon dioxide, latent and sensible heat fluxes and the predictions of two analytical footprint models widely used in literature. Contemporaneously, the latter objective will permit to understand what is the best footprint model which, under typical Po Valley atmospheric turbulent conditions, describes a representative source area compatible with the field dimensions and the turbulent flux distributions. The results show that both models are in good agreement with experimental measurements. The results also show that the spatial distribution of turbulent fluxes is strongly influenced by the presence of vegetation in the field. Moreover, the representative source area is different for different scalar fluxes. Another result is about 10:1 fetch-to-height obtained for both field situations.     

应用氡气测量和土壤天然热释光测量推断花岗岩型铀矿含矿部位——以下庄花岗岩型铀矿田为例

A wind tunnel study of aeolian sand transport on a wetted sand surface using sands from tropical humid coastal southern China

This article reported a wind tunnel test of sediment transport related to surface moisture content and wind velocity using sands from tropical humid coastal area. A 1 mm-thick portion of surface sand was scraped using a self-made sediment sampler, and the gravimetric moisture content was determined. Sand transport was measured via a standard vertical sand trap with a 60 cm height. The result shows that the sand transport profile above the wet surface can be expressed with an exponential equation. In general, the influence of moisture content on sand transport profile mainly focuses on the bottom of the blowing sand cloud. Meanwhile, with moisture content increased, total sand transport dropped, and a relatively larger proportion is transported at greater heights. The vertical movement of particles on higher moisture surface (0.587% < M < 1.448%) is more sensitive to moisture content variation as compared to those on low wet surface (M < 0.587%), total sand transport rate tends to be rather low (0.99 g cm⁻¹ s⁻¹) when M > 1.448%. The total sand transport rate varying with moisture content is divided into three regions of differing gradient at the moisture contents of 0.587 and 1.448%. The gradient of the curve reflected the different influences of the various water forms in surface sediments. The higher moisture surface (M > 1.448%) merely functions as a transport plain for the saltation material. Surface moisture content was the dominant control factor for saltation activity between the moisture contents of 0.587 and 1.448%, wind velocity could resume control saltation after the surface dried to the extent (M < 0.587%).     

过去千年北大西洋热带气旋生成潜势的模拟研究:基于PMIP3气候模式

本文利用古气候模式比较计划第三阶段（PMIP3）10个耦合模式结果研究了过去千年北大西洋热带气旋生成潜势的空间特征。对于影响热带气旋生成的大尺度环境场而言,模拟结果表明中世纪暖期（950~1200A.D.）热带气旋潜在强度相对于小冰期（1600~1850A.D.）在北大西洋普遍增强,尤其是中纬度地区。中世纪暖期垂直风切变在10°~30°N之间的纬度带显著减小,而对流层中层相对湿度和低层绝对涡度在北大西洋东部增大。基于热带气旋生成潜势指数,中世纪暖期大尺度环境条件有利于热带气旋在北大西洋的生成和发展。同时,中世纪暖期热带气旋高空引导气流为东风异常,有利于热带气旋登陆北美地区。在百年尺度热带气旋气候态的角度,模拟结果与地质证据基本一致。此外,敏感性试验结果表明太阳辐射增加和火山活动减少对中世纪暖期北大西洋热带气旋生成潜势增加均有作用。

     

Microstructural control on the elastic properties of thermally cracked granite

Compressional waves velocity V_P was measured during long-term experiments in a high-pressure vessel (in the range [10–75] MPa for confining and pore pressures). Experiments were carried out on a granite specimen prepared by a controlled heating treatment at 510 °C, which generated thermal cracks.

Data analysis is proposed by using an effective medium approach based on Kachanov's [Appl. Mech. Rev. 45 (1992)304] model. The elastic behaviour of the cracked rock is controlled by the crack density parameter which varies with confining and pore pressures due to crack closure. In order to model the progressive closure of cracks, we assume elliptical cracks with major axis 2c and aspect ratio . By using a conformal mapping technique, we derive the variation of the crack aspect ratio as a function of effective pressure, the effective pressure coefficient η depending on and Poisson's ratio ν₀. As a result, we compute the crack density parameter and the elastic moduli of the cracked rock as a function of confining and pore pressures. To take into account the heterogeneity of the rock sample, a peak-like distribution of crack aspect ratios is introduced, which allows us to calculate the acoustic velocity V_P for various effective pressures.

Comparison is made between theoretical and experimental values and shows that this simple model captures the essential features of the acoustic velocity variation: an increase of V_P when pore pressure is decreased followed by a plateau for a threshold pore pressure. Best consistency between theoretical and experimental velocity values is obtained by introducing a second crack population with a higher mean aspect ratio and an irreversible closure mechanism as effective pressure is cycled.     

孟公界花岗岩型脉状铀矿床成矿构造研究及找矿预测

笔者运用大陆构造体系分析方法，详细研究了桂北苗儿山矿田孟公界花岗岩型铀矿床的成矿构造特征，初步查明了北北西向矿脉的形成是受区域性北北东向左旋剪切的次级剪应力场控制，成矿前形成的韧性剪切带既是矿液运移的通道，也是矿体赋存的有利空间；剪切作用造成矿脉、脉体在空间上呈雁行排列并向北北西方向侧伏。根据成矿构造预测，该矿床在1号矿脉的深部有较好的找矿前景，2～6号脉矿化地段由西向东逐渐加深，盲矿体应埋藏在较深部位。     

Assessment of the seasonal variation of simulated Wyrtki jet over the tropical Indian Ocean in CMIP5 models

Performances of the 24 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models in simulating the Wyrtki Jet over the tropical Indian Ocean are evaluated, and the results show large diversity in the simulated current intensity at seasonal timescale. These coupled models are able to capture the dominant spatial distribution of observed Wyrtki Jet, the central equatorial region. The simulated seasonal variations of Wyrtki Jet are also reproduced quantitatively, though the simulated amplitudes from CMIP5 models are quite spread among the CMIP5 models. Compared with the observation, some coupled models are not able to present the evolution of Wyrtki Jet in fall season and the decay phase has been postponed 1 month later. Further diagnostic illustrates that the simulated surface zonal wind has remarkable impact on the evolution of Wyrtki Jet in fall season over the tropical Indian Ocean. This study also points out that there is a common problem in these models that most of them present 1-month delayed Wyrtki Jets peak time than the normal climatological condition along the center equatorial Indian Ocean.     

前期土壤含水量对红壤坡面产流产沙特性的影响

利用田间人工模拟降雨试验,研究了前期土壤含水量对两种红壤坡面降雨入渗、产流和产沙特性的影响.结果表明:前期含水量越高,两种土壤都是产流越快,达到稳定径流和入渗的时间越短.低含水量区(干态和稍干),两种土壤的径流系数和入渗率都与降雨时间呈线性关系,并在60 min内达不到稳定.高含水量区(稍湿和湿态),两种土壤的径流系数、入渗率及产沙速率与降雨时间关系都符合Boltzmann(玻耳兹曼)方程;第四纪红粘土发育的红壤稍干态和红砂岩发育的红壤干态下的产沙速率在整个降雨过程中变化不明显,并都维持在较低水平;第四纪红粘土发育的红壤干态和红砂岩发育的红壤稍干态下的产沙速率随着模拟降雨的进行而大致以线性关系增大.土壤前期含水量越高,两种土壤坡地累tk积入渗量都越小,雨水转化为土壤水分的比率亦越小.     

The influence of wind speed on surface layer stability and turbulent fluxes over southern Indian peninsula station

Surface to atmosphere exchange has received much attention in numerical weather prediction models. This exchange is defined by turbulent parameters such as frictional velocity, drag coefficient and heat fluxes, which have to be derived experimentally from high-frequency observations. High-frequency measurements of wind speed, air temperature and water vapour mixing ratio (eddy covariance measurements), were made during the Integrated Ground Observation Campaign (IGOC) of Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) at Mahabubnagar, India (16^°44^′N, 77^°59^′E) in the south-west monsoon season. Using these observations, an attempt was made to investigate the behaviour of the turbulent parameters, mentioned above, with respect to wind speed. We found that the surface layer stability derived from the Monin–Obukhov length scale, is well depicted by the magnitude of wind speed, i.e., the atmospheric boundary layer was under unstable regime for wind speeds >4 m s^?1; under stable regime for wind speeds <2 m s^?1 and under neutral regime for wind speeds in the range of 2–3 m s^?1. All the three stability regimes were mixed for wind speeds 3–4 m s^?1. The drag coefficient shows scatter variation with wind speed in stable as well as unstable conditions.     

Effect of source integration on the geochemical fluxes from springs

Geochemical fluxes from watersheds are typically defined using mass-balance methods that essentially lump all weathering processes operative in a watershed into a single flux of solute mass measured in streamflow at the watershed outlet. However, it is important that we understand how weathering processes in different hydrological zones of a watershed (i.e., surface, unsaturated, and saturated zones) contribute to the total geochemical flux from the watershed. This capability will improve understanding of how geochemical fluxes from these different zones may change in response to climate change. Here, the geochemical flux from weathering processes occurring solely in the saturated zone is investigated. This task, however, remains exceedingly difficult due to the sparsity of subsurface sampling points, especially in large, remote, and/or undeveloped watersheds. In such cases, springflow is often assumed to be a proxy for groundwater (defined as water residing in fully saturated geologic formations). However, springflow generation may integrate different sources of water including, but not limited to, groundwater. The authors’ hypothesis is that long-term estimates of geochemical fluxes from groundwater using springflow proxies will be too large due to the integrative nature of springflow generation. Two conceptual models of springflow generation are tested using endmember mixing analyses (EMMA) on observations of spring chemistries and stable isotopic compositions in a large alpine watershed in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. In the “total springflow” conceptual model, springflow is assumed to be 100% groundwater. In the “fractional springflow” conceptual model, springflow is assumed to be an integration of different sources of water (e.g., groundwater, unsaturated flow, preferential flow in the soil, etc.) and groundwater is only a fractional component. The results indicate that groundwater contributions in springflow range from 2% to 100% overall and no springs are consistently composed of 100% groundwater; providing support for the fractional springflow conceptual model. Groundwater contributions are not strongly correlated with elevation, spring contributing area, spring discharge, or seasonality. This variability has a profound effect on long-term geochemical fluxes. The geochemical fluxes for total springflow overestimate long-term solute release by 22–48% as compared to fractional springflow. These findings illustrate that springflow generation, like streamflow generation, integrates many different sources of water reflecting solute concentrations obtained along many different geochemical weathering pathways. These data suggest that springs are not always ideal proxies for groundwater. Springs may be integrating very distinct portions of the groundwater flow field and these groundwater contributions may become mixed at the spring emergence with much younger sources of water that have never resided in the groundwater system.
