中国大陆的特征地震活动及其中—长期预测研究（一）

中国大陆不同地点２４个特征地震轮回的震级－时间序列分析表明，在一个完整轮回中，相继特征地震事件ｉ和ｊ之间时段的前１／２极少有破坏性地震发生；而在轮回的后１／２，大多数情况下至少有一次中－强地震发生，其中，中－强地震发生在轮回最后１／３时段的约占５４％。称这种地震为“填隙式中强震”（事件ｆ），其发生可能标志着当地自从上一次特征地震后，应变已重新积累 到达距下一次和下地震极限应变不远的背景，故对于发生

基于大陆地震活动的特点和已建立的由弹簧－滑块－阻尼器组成的平面网络非线性动力学模型研究结果,根据细胞自动机的原理,提出了对这类模型的一种简化模型－细胞自动机模型。其演化规则是根据大陆地震活动特点和从上述非线性模型中总结出来的,介质参数采用分维分布设定。将新建的模型应用于３０×４０单元组成的较大系统中,探讨了该模型显示的一些地震活动特点。     

中国大陆的特征地震活动及其中一长期预测研究（一）

中国大陆不同地点２４个特征地震轮回的震级一时间序列分析表明：在一个完整轮回中，相继特征地震事件ｉ和ｊ之间时段的前１／２极少有破坏性地震发生；而在轮回的后１／２，大多数情况下至少有一次中－强地震发生；其中，中一强地震发生在轮回最后１／３时段的约占５４％。称这种地震为“填隙式中强震”（事件ｆ），其发生可能标志着当地自从上一次特征地震后，应变已重新积累到达距下一次特征地震极限应变不远的背景，故对于发生在轮回末尾的特征事件ｊ来说，具有作为中一长期“前兆”的意义。有可能识别出的首次填隙式中强震（事件ｆ１），其强度通常比同一轮回开始的特征事件ｉ小１—２个震级单位，但明显大于当地背景地震活动强度，并发生在与事件ｉ和ｊ相同的空间位置。文中初步建立起中国大陆完整特征地震活动轮回的震级－时间序列模式（ｉ－ｆ－ｊ模式），它将作为本研究第二部分中进一步发展特征地震中－长期预测方法的基础。     

中国大陆强震轮回活动的计算机模型研究

通过对中国大陆7级以上强震的研究发现,地震活动呈现为时间上轮回和空间上迁移的动态图像。为探索这种图像的物理本质,本文应用非线性动力学模型来模拟在统一构造应力场作用下含有多个活动地震带的地震构造块体的地震活动。文中用若干列并联排列的基本元件(由Maxwell体和刚性滑块组成)来模拟地震活动带,并用耦合元件来模拟地震活动带之间和带内各段之间的相互耦合作用。本文的研究结果有助于理解强震的轮回活动以及高潮中成组强震间的相互影响特征。     

地震孕育发生的场源关系初步研究

场和源在地震学和地震预报研究中已成为两个最重要分友。本文应用计算机模型研究地震活动中的场源关系。模型以非线性元件构成的网络系统来模拟含有多个地震活动带的地震构造块体的地震活动。在模型边界上加以定常应变速率，则在模型中可产生高低起伏的轮回式地震活动，并形成应力场强度和应变能高低起伏的准周期变化，各地地震活动轮回有其主体活动地区，不同的轮回之间常显示出地震主体活动区的空间转移。同时，若将模型中达到一定     

中国大陆大震形势研究

本文分析了１５００－１９９４年间中国大陆７级以上地震活动的时空分布特征，得出强弱活跃期相间交替出现，地震轮回内活跃期与一个轮回持续时间之比服从准黄金分割，活跃期具三幕式结构，一个活跃段一般仅有一个主体活动区、１－２个参与活动区等结论。据此分析认为，１９７７年后中国大陆已进入第四个轮回的相对平静期，并将持续３０年左右。     

中国大陆原地复发强震的基本特征及其预测

在印度板块与欧亚块相碰撞形成的喜马拉雅弧板块边界力作用下，中国大陆有自己独特的现代构造运动和地震活动基本格架。格架是两组近似于对数螺线的现代构造滑移线，即最大剪切应力和剪切应变集中释放的区，带。在这种格架控制下，强震和大震在原地或基本在原地重复发生是中国大陆地震活动的重要特征。本文还提出了ｉ－ｆ－ｊ复发轮回模式和估计当前轮回强震复发时间的概率分布以及计算未来强震复发概率分式。为中，长期预测原地复发     

中国大陆的特征地震活动及其中—长期预测研究（二）

在中国大陆，中国震源区过去多次特征地震之间时间间隔的变异系数一般大于０．３５，且在不同的震源区各不相同，以特征地震轮回的ｉ－ｆ－ｊ模式（闻学泽等，１９９４）为基础，将特征地震复发时间Ｔ表示成同一轮回事件ｉ至事件ｆ１的时间差Ｔｉｆ的函数，并发展了估计“当前”轮回平均复发时间的方法，对任一震源区而言，用该方法估计的平均复发时间与过去特征地震时间间隔的表现行为无关，进一步得到Ｔ近似服从于对数正态分布ＬＮ     

大陆强震的动力学模型及其在地震活动性研究和地震预测中的应用

本文以中国大陆为具体研究对象 ,从大陆强震活动成组特征的客观性出发 ,开发了一种非线性动力学模型 ,用于模拟大陆强震成组活动特征及孕震环境对地震成组性的影响 ,运用此模型对一些地震活动特征和前兆场的演化特征进行了模拟和解释。地震活动的分布具有空间不均匀性和时间非平稳性。地震的空间不均匀性表现为地震在空间上往往成带、成区分布 ,地震的时间非平稳性表现为地震活动在时间轴上具有活跃和平静 (高潮和低潮 )相交替的特性。分析表明大陆地震具有明显的成组活动特征。强震活动的成组性是指强震活动在某些时段十分集中 ,呈成丛或丛…     

全球地震层析地幔密度横向不均匀及大陆动力学

地震层析为我们提供了研究全球及区域地幔横向不均匀的有力工具。本文使用Ｓ１２－ＷＭ１３［１］层析模型,假设地震波速度异常与密度异常之间呈线性关系［２］,以ＰＲＥＭ模型［３］为基础,计算了全球和部分区域的球谐展开１２×１２阶地幔密度异常分布;分析了一系列的结果,特别分析了大陆下部地幔密度异常的基本格局;讨论了其对大陆动力学研究的意义。应用于中国大陆发现,整个中国大陆下部７０ｋｍ－１５０ｋｍ深部范围内是地震剪切波的低速带或密度低的地区,而在１５０－４００ｋｍ范围中又处于密度高的异常地带。本文从地幔动力学的观念出发讨论了中国大陆岩石层构造运动的地幔动力学问题。     

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     

Solute concentrations in the lower niger river and the source rock contribution

Water quality analyses for the Niger River for the 1980/81 hydrological year are presented. The samples were collected from the main river at Lokoja, and from two main tributaries, the Kaduna and the Benue Rivers. Different water types were distinguished by the concentrations of major ions. The type Ca > Na > Mg > K - HCO₃ > SO₄ > Cl was represented at all stations during at least part of the year. Chloride was found to dominate the sulphate ion in the Kaduna and Niger, while the Benue maintained a higher concentration of sulphate relative to chloride all year round. Distinct patterns of seasonal variation in the ion concentrations were observed, particularly for the samples collected at Lokoja. Low ion concentrations were prominent during periods of high discharge, while low flow periods coincided with high dissolved ion concentrations. The contribution of rainwater to the total dissolved solids in the river waters was assessed indirectly using rainwater chemistry data from the Gulf of Guinea. The estimated rainwater contribution to the Lower Niger amounts to 5.15 mg 1^?1. Geochemical weathering calculations involving reactions of the four major minerals of granitic rocks - anorthite, biotite, albite, and K-feldspar - with carbon dioxide and water, can account for the average water composition of the Lower Niger. The proportion of the ionic components was also related to the occurrence of the respective element in the minerals.
