ON WAVE PROPAGATION IN NON-UNIFORM MEDIA

In this paper,the results are analysed on wave propagation in non-uniform media which were studied by Lighthill,Whitham and some others.It is found that when the phase of wave is expressed as that of near plane wave i.e.θ=k(X,T)x-ω(kX,T),X,T)t where X=εx,T=εt,ε is a small parameter,k,ω are local wavenumber and frequency,then we can get ∂k/∂T+∂ω/∂X=∂Ω/∂X.This means that the phase does not satisfy the principle of continuity as proposed by them.With this result,it is pointed out that the wavenumber is always constant along rays while frequency is variable.This is different from that obtained by Lighthill and others.The causes for these differences are discussed in the paper.     

全向及定向圆极化天线的小型化研究

本文提出了两种分别应用于全向以及定向圆极化天线的小型化设计.这两种天线设计方案是基于电偶极子与磁偶极子的有机结合.全向圆极化方向图具有很广的覆盖范围及避免极化失配的特点,非常适合应用于移动物联网以及卫星间通信等.对于两组水平放置的电磁偶极子,如果采用等幅激励且相位相差90°,会产生全向的圆极化方向图.本文介绍了一种工作在下一代移动通信28 GHz频率的呈车轮形的紧凑全向圆极化天线.整个天线印刷在直径仅4 mm的圆形介质板上,且具有宽带高效率等良好电器特性,非常适合应用于5G小型化移动通信终端.定向圆极化天线具有高增益且避免极化失配的特点,广泛应用于卫星移动通信终端中.两组正交放置的电磁偶极子如果等幅且同向激励,会产生定向呈心形的辐射方向图.本文还介绍了一种电小且高辐射效率的惠更斯天线,该天线有机结合了两个电小的辐射单元,形成结构紧凑的定向圆极化天线,非常适合卫星通信以及无线能量传输等应用.     

低剖面紧凑的圆盘加载单极子天线

本文介绍了一种低剖面小型化圆盘加载单极子天线.通过盘加载的方式,在中心频率5.8 GHz处,首先将单极子天线的剖面从大约12.9 mm（0.25λ₀）降低到2 mm（0.039λ₀）,实现了低剖面的特性.加载在单极子天线上方的圆盘,尺寸大概为21 mm（0.41λ₀）,因此天线具有结构紧凑的特点.接着,为了使天线具有良好的匹配,在加载圆盘四周加入4个接地通孔,并且在馈电端口加入集总电感.最终,天线在中心工作频率5.8 GHz处实现了反射系数-15 dB的匹配性能.     

一种超宽带高增益对踵Vivaldi天线

本文设计了一种带宽3.3~40 GHz的新型超宽带高增益对踵Vivaldi天线,该天线介质板两侧采用相同的辐射结构,由一个微带线和两条指数型槽线构成.在天线辐射方向添加一块梯形结构介质板,将天线正反两面的表面电流限制在天线辐射方向,既可以矫正E面方向图的增益峰值偏移角度,也可以提升天线辐射强度.实测结果显示,3.3~40 GHz带宽内的驻波比均小于2,倍频带宽大于12,增益为1.0~12.6 dB.该天线的E面方向图对称性好,天线的交叉极化比小,且易于设计、成本低廉,在超带宽、高增益的天线领域具有较高应用价值.     

一种小型化双低频4T4R基站天线阵列设计方法

能够支持双低频4T4R的MIMO基站阵列天线已成为目前运营商布网主流,当采用常规设计时,往往造成天线尺寸过大、风载荷过高等问题.在MIMO阵列天线小型化设计时,由于各阵列间距离缩小,电磁耦合急剧上升,导致各天线水平面波束宽度恶化,性能下降严重.针对此问题,提出了一种小型化阵列天线设计方法.采用波束合成技术,利用一种功率比随频率变化的新型不等功分电桥复用一组辐射单元,这样每列天线均可复用一个窄波束宽度单元,再通过该窄波束单元与其他宽波束单元合成理想的水平面波束宽度,提升天线覆盖性能.实测结果表明：采用本文阵列天线设计方法能够得到收敛的水平面波束宽度,范围在56°~68°,同时具有较好的增益和系统隔离度,大幅改善了天线性能.     

基于特征模理论的低剖面MIMO立方体天线

基于特征模理论,给出了一种适用于室内环境的16端口多输入多输出（MIMO）立方体天线设计.首先利用特征模理论在对一个矩形金属片进行模式分析的基础上,同时激励金属片的不同模式,设计了一款工作于5.150~5.875 GHz的高隔离度的4端口MIMO天线单元,并引入人工磁导体（AMC）表面代替原天线的地板,大大降低了天线的剖面.进一步地,围绕立方体环绕一周组成4×4端口的MIMO立方体天线,在较小的空间内实现了天线的多端口与多极化.仿真和测试结果表明：天线在5.150~5.875 GHz频段内端口反射系数S_ii<-10 dB,端口间隔离度|S_ij|>20 dB.

2013年7.18四川暴雨分析

利用地面观测资料和NCEP/NCAR 1°×1°再分析资料,对2013年7月17-18日四川境内的区域暴雨（7.18暴雨）进行了分析,并用WRF模式对该次暴雨过程进行了数值模拟。研究表明：7.18暴雨是一次典型的低涡暴雨,其主要强降水时段发生在北京时间18日凌晨01-02时,具有明显的夜雨特征;WRF模式对夜雨的模拟效果要好于白天,这说明WRF模式对地形复杂的四川地区白天降水的模拟能力尚需进一步提高;导致7.18暴雨的中尺度低涡具有类似锋区的斜压特征,异常陡峭的θ_se的分布,使得倾斜不稳定涡旋发展;较强的正涡度中心大值区有利于中小尺度低涡的形成。

Temporal dynamics of CO2 fluxes and profiles over a Central European city

Summary In Summer 2002 eddy covariance flux measurements of CO₂ were performed over a dense urban surface. The month-long measurements were carried out in the framework of the Basel Urban Boundary Layer Experiment (BUBBLE). Two Li7500 open path analysers were installed at z/z_H = 1.0 and 2.2 above a street canyon with z_H the average building height of 14.6 m and z the height above street level. Additionally, profiles of CO₂ concentration were sampled at 10 heights from street level up to 2 z_H. The minimum and maximum of the average diurnal course of CO₂ concentration at 2 z_H were 362 and 423 ppmv in late afternoon and early morning, respectively. Daytime CO₂ concentrations were not correlated to local sources, e.g. the minimum occurred together with the maximum in traffic load. During night-time CO₂ is in general accumulated, except when inversion development is suppressed by frontal passages. CO₂ concentrations were always decreasing with height and correspondingly, the fluxes – on average – always directed upward. At z/z_H = 2.2 low values of about 3 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ were measured during the second half of the night. During daytime average values reached up to 14 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹. The CO₂ fluxes are well correlated with the traffic load, with their maxima occurring together in late afternoon. Daytime minimum CO₂ concentrations fell below regional background values. Besides vertical mixing and entrainment, it is suggested that this is also due to advection of rural air with reduced CO₂ concentration. Comparison with other urban observations shows a large range of differences among urban sites in terms of both CO₂ fluxes and concentrations.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

<正>The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth’s climate and environment.     

VARIABILITY OF INTER-ANNUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE AND HUAXI REGION’S AUTUMN PRECIPITATION

The moving-window correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events and the synchronous autumn precipitation in Huaxi region, based on the daily precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation data from 1960 to 2012. The correlation curves of IOD and the early modulation of Huaxi region’s autumn precipitation indicated a mutational site appeared in the 1970s. During 1960 to 1979, when the IOD was in positive phase in autumn, the circulations changed from a “W” shape to an ”M” shape at 500 hPa in Asia middle-high latitude region. Cold flux got into the Sichuan province with Northwest flow, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Western Pacific to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation increase in east Huaxi region. During 1980 to 1999, when the IOD in autumn was positive phase, the atmospheric circulation presented a “W” shape at 500 hPa, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Bay of Bengal to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation ascend in west Huaxi region. In summary, the Indian Ocean changed from cold phase to warm phase since the 1970s, caused the instability of the inter-annual relationship between the IOD and the autumn rainfall in Huaxi region.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.
