哀牢山-红河剪切带的热年代学研究——多重扩散域模式的应用实例

洛弗拉等人(1989)把Dodson(1973)建立的单一扩散域模式扩展成矿物扩散域不连续分布的模式,即多重扩散域模式,与之对应具有某一封闭温度范围,因此利用单个K-长石矿物样品可以揭示更长时间段上的冷却过程。对云南哀牢山-红河剪切带的K-长石样品(FA-2-1)进行40Ar/39Ar同位素分析,利用多重扩散域模式,揭示在距今约20～19Ma问该带存在一快速冷却过程,这与西藏南部曲水地区快速抬升的时间是一致的     

Numerical case study of the Altai-Sayan lee cyclogenesis over East Asia

Summary Climatological studies show that the Altai-Sayan lee side is one of the major cyclogenesis areas in the Northern Hemisphere. In case of the Altai-Sayan lee cyclogenesis, the surface cyclone is generated when a primary cyclone is swept north of the mountains. In the mid-troposphere, a trough develops and finally turns into a cutoff low within 48 h. The main synoptic features are similar to those of Alpine cyclogenesis. Numerical simulations are performed to assess the effect of different representation of orography on the Altai-Sayan cyclogenesis. Two experiments are performed, a step-mountain (ETA) and an envelope orography (SGM) experiment. The ETA experiment produced the cyclogenesis in a way similar to that in the analysis both at the surface and at mid-troposphere. The SGM experiment failed in the simulation of the upper cutoff low. The difference in predicted pressure between the ETA and the SGM experiment shows a dipolar structure suggesting that the blocking effect of the mountains is essential in the development of the Altai-Sayan lee cyclogenesis.With 7 Figures     

Dynamical interpretation of observed plasmasphere deformations

Based on all of the OGO-5 light ion density measurements (covering the period from March, 1968 to May, 1969), a definition of “isolated plasma regions” was employed to locate the most prominent patches of enhanced light ion densities in the midst of the depleted region, outside of the main plasmasphere. On the dayside, the distribution of these isolated plasma in L.T. vs. L coordinates was quite similar to that of the “detached plasma regions” by Chappell (1974a). On the nightside, however, the new distribution revealed more frequent occurrence of these regions. Elongated thick plasmatails produced during periods of sudden enhancement of convection electric fields and subsequentially thinning and corotating of the plasmatails during quieting periods, in general, could account for the statistical distribution as well as the individual events, such as those between March 27 and April 2, 1968 and Oct. 21 and Oct. 24, 1968. As demonstrated by Kivelson (1976), wave-particle interactions could produce tremendously complicated structures observed in the near vicinity of the plasmapause and far away from the plasmasphere. Examination of H⁺ and He⁺ density measurements for period of Aug. 12–Aug. 20, 1968 indicated that the density reduction of the plasmasphere during a magnetic storm was on the same order of magnitude as that obtained from whistler techniques during a magnetospheric substorm.     

Impact of Flood Disasters on Taiwan in the Last Quarter Century

The increasing natural disasters, especially floods during the last quarter century, are raising the economic losses in Taiwan. The most severe hazard in Taiwan is flooding induced by typhoons and storms in summer and autumn. By comparing the rivers around the world, the ones in Taiwan have the steepest slopes, the largest discharge per unit drainage area, and the shortest time of concentrations. Rapid urbanization without proper land uses managements usually worsen the flood problems. Consequently, flood hazards mitigation has become the most essential task for Taiwan to deal with. Although the government keeps improving flood defense structures, the flood damage grows continuously. In this article, possible flood mitigation strategies are identified for coping with complex environmental and social decisions with flood risk involved.

Traction image method for irregular free surface boundaries in finite difference seismic wave simulation

In this study, we propose a new numerical method, named as Traction Image method, to accurately and efficiently implement the traction-free boundary conditions in finite difference simulation in the presence of surface topography. In this algorithm, the computational domain is discretized by boundary-conforming grids, in which the irregular surface is transformed into a 'flat' surface in computational space. Thus, the artefact of staircase approximation to arbitrarily irregular surface can be avoided. Such boundary-conforming gridding is equivalent to a curvilinear coordinate system, in which the first-order partial differential velocity-stress equations are numerically updated by an optimized high-order non-staggered finite difference scheme, that is, DRP/opt MacCormack scheme. To satisfy the free surface boundary conditions, we extend the Stress Image method for planar surface to Traction Image method for arbitrarily irregular surface by antisymmetrically setting the values of normal traction on the grid points above the free surface. This Traction Image method can be efficiently implemented. To validate this new method, we perform numerical tests to several complex models by comparing our results with those computed by other independent accurate methods. Although some of the testing examples have extremely sloped topography, all tested results show an excellent agreement between our results and those from the reference solutions, confirming the validity of our method for modelling seismic waves in the heterogeneous media with arbitrary shape topography. Numerical tests also demonstrate the efficiency of this method. We find about 10 grid points per shortest wavelength is enough to maintain the global accuracy of the simulation. Although the current study is for 2-D P-SV problem, it can be easily extended to 3-D problem.
