21世纪中国大陆第一个大震活动幕的预测

基于对20世纪中国大陆7．0级以上大地震与月亮白赤交角的变化和太阳活动的研究结果，根据对未来50a（年）月亮白赤交角的值与目前太阳活动的形势，提出21世纪中国大陆第一个大地震活动幕可能是2006或2007－2015年。     

日月影响与云南未来地震趋势研究

详细分析了20世纪云南强震群体盛衰的天文背景,文中指出月亮白赤交角变化产生的交点潮[1]可能是影响地震长周期活动的一个原因。分析结果表明,20世纪以来云南的4个M≥6.7级强震活跃期有3个始发于月亮白赤交角极大年或其次年,仅第一个地震活跃期不是如此,所以总概率达80%。另外,无论太阳活动还是地震活动均存在11年的准周期,据此,作者利用20世纪云南历年最大地震的震级作了4组11年周期的外推,估计了下一个地震活跃期首发地震的时间和震级。综括上述2个天文条件,根据目前月亮白赤交角变化与太阳活动形势,我们认为云南下一个地震活跃期可能开始于2006/2007年,并可能持续活动至2015年,该期间将有较多M≥6.7级地震发生,将构成云南又一个地震重灾期。文中还对强震首发地点作了预测估计。     

汶川地震的天文背景

比较系统地分析了汶川地震发生时的天体位置、月亮白赤交角、太阳活动与地球自转等天文因素的影响,结果表明,无论从地震的孕育还是从发生来看这些天文因素的影响都是不可忽视的,是值得进一步深入研究的.     

21世纪云南第1次大震活跃期的趋势预测

在太阳活动与地震活动相关研究的基础上指出：在周期性太阳活动的调控下，地震活动也显示出与太阳活动相关的周期性变化。云南22年的地震周期在20世纪形成了4个大震活跃期和4个相对平静期。根据地震活动和太阳活动的若干相关规律，对云南地区在本世纪第1次大震活跃期的到来作了趋势性预测：云南在本世纪第1次大震活跃期的第1个大震(M=7．0左右)将于2012年到来，那时正是太阳活动第24周下降段的开始，离上次大震活跃期的最后一个大震(丽江，M=7．0，1996年)恰好是16年。在该大震活跃期里，还将发生若干个M=7．0左右的大震和一些较小的地震，其大震爆发的时间将遵循Tx=(Tn—Tn—1)^1/2(a年)的非线性经验规律发生。     

中国地震与太阳活动相关的初步分析

本文对1934年至1970年的中国地震活动,太阳耀斑活动及质子事件的历史资料进行了初步处理分析,从而发现它们无论从频数或能量变化上都表现出一定的周期性,并探讨了它们之间的关系。     

高能粒子流对地震活动的可能调制

把地球作为一个开放系统，本文分析了不同地域范围的地震活动和太阳活动的关系，发现不同地域的地震活动也存在着一个大约１１年的周期，这个周期可能与太阳活动的１１年左右周期有关，但地震周期的峰值对应于太阳活动的下降段。它们的关系是负相关关系。本文进一步着重分析了地震活动与高速太阳风粒子流和宇宙线高能粒子流的关系，发现它们之间存在着一个信度水平很高的正相关。这样，我们可以推测太阳活动可能是通过调制到达地球的高能粒子流进而调制地震活动的。     

21世纪云南第1次大震活跃期的趋势预测

天文因子与中国大地震活动趋势预测

根据太阳活动与月亮运动周期预测１９９８年开始的中国大地震活跃期已经基本结束,从现在起到２０００年中国大陆发生Ｍｓ≥７．０地震的可能性很小。     

地球自转变化与中国大陆地震活动关系的初步分析

本文利用天文观测的日长变化时间序列和我国地震资料，统计分析了地球自转十年尺度变化、年限变化和季节性变化与中国大陆地震活动间的相关性。结果表明，中国大陆地震活动与地球自转变化在时间尺度上存在着一定的全局性联系，地球自转变化引起的附加应力可能对中国大陆地震活动起一定的触发作用，中国大陆地震活动与地球自转变化在空间尺度上存在着一定的地区性联系，以东西向的天山地震带与日长变化的相关性最为显著，南北向的中轴地震带和东西向的燕山地震带次之，而北北东向的山西地震带跟日长变化则没有确定的对应关系。分析结果表明，天文观测的地球自转资料可以为我国大陆地震预测提供一种参考依据。     

第23太阳活动周发展趋势预测

利用压强改正莫斯科中子监测值,对第２３太阳活动周的未来发展趋势作了预测,推测第 ２３周太阳活动和第 ２２周相当,约在 ２００１年达到 １５１± １６的极大月平均黑子相对数．     

太阳活动对中国中纬度地区8级大地震的可能触发

研究了发生在中国中纬地区(20°~40)°Ms≥8的大地震与太阳活动的关系,发现地震的发生时间多处在太阳活动周的降段至谷段,并且具有统计意义,显示出太阳活动和地震活动的相关联性。联想到中纬度地区洪水与太阳活动负相关,即在太阳活动低年,降雨充沛,甚至发生水灾。作者认为大雨引起的地下水位上升,岩石被水浸泡后,耐剪强度下降,从而使已孕育的大地震容易触发。     

Activity and kinematics of members of the TW Hydrae association

We present high-resolution echelle spectroscopy of 20 stars in 16 systems catalogued as members of the TW Hydrae association, and 16 stars identified as possible new members. We have calibrated the range of coronal and chromospheric activity expected for such young stars as a function of spectral type by combining our observations with literature data for field and open cluster stars. We also compute space motions for TWA members and candidate members with proper motion measurements, using two techniques to estimate distances to stars lacking direct trigonometric parallax measurements. The mean space motion of the four TWA members with known parallaxes is  ( U , V , W : −10.0, −17.8, −4.6) km s⁻¹  . 14 of the candidates have properties inconsistent with cluster membership; the remaining two are potential new members, although further observations are required to confirm this possibility.     

The two components in the distribution of sunspot groups with respect to their maximum areas

From an analysis of the distribution of sunspot groups with respect to their maximum areas we find that this distribution consists of two distinct components. One component contributes to spot groups of all possible values of A_* with a distribution density varying as ∼ exp (b₁ á _* ^1/2 ) with b₁ nearly constant from cycleto cycle and having a mean value ∼10^-4 km^-1. The other component is predominantly responsible for spot groups withA* ≲, 30 *10^-6 hemisphere but may provide a few spot groups even above 50 * l0^-6 hemisphere. This component may follow a distribution density ∼ exp (-b₂ A_*). We also determine the widths of the latitude zones over which spot groups in various intervals of A_* appear and study their variation with time. These widths and their variations indicate that the two statistical samples of spot groups may be produced by two families of flux-tube clusters as suggested earlier in a phenomenological model. Very thin flux-tube clusters in the statistical samples seem to be related to the ephemeral active regions and X-ray bright points.

Responses of dune activity and desertification in China to global warming in the twenty-first century

Most areas of arid and semiarid China are covered by aeolian sand dunes, sand sheets, and desert steppes, and the existence of the nearly 80 million people who live in this region could be seriously jeopardized if climate change increases desertification. However, the expected trends in desertification during the 21st century are poorly understood. In the present study, we selected the ECHAM4 and HadCM3 global climate models (after comparing them with the results of the GFDL-R30, CGCM2, and CSIRO-Mk2b models) and used simulations of a dune mobility index under IPCC SRES climate scenarios A1FI, A2a, A2b, A2c, B1a, B2a, and B2b to estimate future trends in dune activity and desertification in China. Although uncertainties in climate predictions mean that there is still far to go before we can develop a comprehensive dune activity estimation system, HadCM3 simulations with most greenhouse forcing scenarios showed decreased desertification in most western region of arid and semiarid China by 2039, but increased desertification thereafter, whereas ECHAM4 simulation results showed that desertification will increase during this period. Inhabitants of thecentral region will benefit from reversed desertification from 2010 to 2099, whereas inhabitants of the eastern region will suffer from increased desertification from 2010 to 2099. From 2010 to 2039, most regions will not be significantly affected by desertification, but from 2040 to 2099, the environments of the western and eastern regions will deteriorate due to the significant effects of global warming (particularly the interaction between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration), leading to decreased livestock and grain yields and possibly threatening China's food security.
