A Review of Radar- and Satellite-based Observational Studies and Nowcasting Techniques on Convection Initiation

Convection often produces severe weather which causes a great loss to human lives and properties. Precisely predicting the convection initiation process is crucial but challenging in operational convection nowcasting (0~2 h forecasting). Before the radar-defined CI occurring (e.g., the first occurrence of ≥35 dBZ echoes), observations at high spatial and temporal resolutions from weather radars and geostationary meteorological satellites can reveal precursor information such as the boundary-layer convergence lines and the rapid growth of newborn cumulus clouds. These radar- and satellite-observed precursor information are helpful for evaluating the pre-CI conditions and thus nowcasting the accurate CI timing and location. This paper reviewed the current status of radar- and satellite-based CI research and nowcasting techniques. The milestone works and the following studies in the last four decades were summarized to demonstrate how radar and satellite observations can be related to CI occurrence. The objectives and approaches of the CI research advance as the improvement in the capability of radars and were explained satellites. The research progress aids in the development of various CI nowcasting techniques. This paper introduced three well-established techniques that have been put into operational application, namely, ANC system, SATCAST algorithm, and UWCI algorithm. Some scientific issues with respect to radar- and satellite-based CI research and nowcasting were also presented.

内蒙古乌拉特中旗色尔腾山岩群东五分子岩组锆石SHRIMP定年及其地质意义

色尔腾山岩群是华北克拉通中西部早前寒武纪变质结晶基底的主要组成部分,对研究华北克拉通基底演化具有十分重要的意义。色尔腾山岩群的形成时代是目前研究的热点之一,本文通过岩石学和锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年研究,查明了内蒙古乌拉特中旗乌兰乡查干哈达地区色尔腾山岩群东五分子岩组的岩石组成和年代学特征。东五分子岩组遭受了后期岩浆和构造作用的强烈破坏,未见顶底,主要由中细粒斜长角闪岩、细粒黑云斜长片麻岩、眼球状细粒黑云斜长片麻岩、条带状细粒黑云斜长片麻岩和细粒黑云角闪片岩组成,矿物组合特征指示岩石经历了低绿片岩相-低角闪岩相变质。其中,眼球状细粒黑云斜长片麻岩出露相对较厚,与细粒黑云斜长片麻岩多呈互层状产出,局部偶夹细粒黑云斜长片麻岩。本次研究选取其中新鲜的细粒黑云斜长片麻岩进行了锆石SHRIMP U-Pb测年分析,其锆石多呈自形-半自形,发育震荡环带,主体为岩浆成因,锆石SHRIMP U-Pb定年结果为（1 930.7±9.6）Ma,代表原岩（中酸性火山岩）冷凝结晶年龄,表明东五分子岩组经历变质作用的时代应晚于1 930 Ma。     

植物挥发性有机物的初步研究

镇域传统产业集群创新网络演进特征及形成机理——以安徽高沟镇电缆产业为例

基于专利合作数据和实地调研数据,借助UCINET对安徽高沟镇电缆产业集群创新网络进行量化分析,揭示镇域传统产业集群创新网络的构成与演化特征,并运用多维邻近性理论探究其演化机理。研究表明：① 产业集群创新网络是由网络主体、网络联结和网络结构三大要素构成,要素之间相互联系、协同发展;② 镇域传统产业集群创新网络形成时间久,经历了初生期、结成期和发展期3个阶段,创新主体由单一转向多元、联结方式由非正式转向正式、联结强度由弱变强、联结结构由星型转向网状;③ 受地理位置、产业性质及经济基础的限制,地理邻近在镇域传统产业集群创新网络形成中具有重要作用;认知邻近存在滞后性,且其作用发挥一定程度上受到地理邻近制约;由于镇域传统产业集群自我创新能力较弱,创新网络对政府及合作组织的依赖性更强,制度邻近及组织邻近作用有待进一步凸显。     

New urban map of Eurasia using MODIS and multi-source geospatial data

Urban areas are of paramount significance to both the individuals and communities at local and regional scales. However, the rapid growth of urban areas exerts effects on climate, biodiversity, hydrology, and natural ecosystems worldwide. Therefore, regular and up-to-date information related to urban extent is necessary to monitor the impacts of urban areas at local, regional, and potentially global scales. This study presents a new urban map of Eurasia at 500 m resolution using multi-source geospatial data, including Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data of 2013, population density of 2012, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) nighttime lights of 2012, and constructed Impervious Surface Area (ISA) data of 2010. The Eurasian urban map was created using the threshold method for these data, combined with references of fine resolution Landsat and Google Earth imagery. The resultant map was compared with nine global urban maps and was validated using random sampling method. Results of the accuracy assessment showed high overall accuracy of the new urban map of 94%. This urban map is one product of the 20 land cover classes of the next version of Global Land Cover by National Mapping Organizations.

白令海峡治理的合作机制研究

近年来随着北极冰盖的融化,北极通航已成为可能,而白令海峡作为北极航道重要的出口/入口,其战略地位也将逐步显现并被各国关注。在讨论白令海峡的治理与合作时,首先要明确白令海峡是用于国际航行的海峡,而作为海峡沿岸国的美国和俄罗斯对于白令海峡的管控与合作将成为影响未来北极航行的重要因素。为同时保障海峡沿岸国与使用国的利益,可借鉴马六甲海峡的治理经验,在现有治理机制的基础上进一步深化海峡沿岸国与海峡使用国的合作机制。中国作为海峡使用国也有必要积极参与白令海峡的合作治理。     

低温阴雨对丹东地区粮食作物产量的影响

对丹东地区1978—2015年春季气象资料进行分析,分别从低温、寡照、多雨3个方面研究其对粮食作物造成危害程度的大小,将其划分3个不同的灾害等级。利用拉格朗日插值法计算出作物的期望产量,运用分离法将低温阴雨对粮食作物的损失分离出来,探讨低温阴雨年景与丹东地区粮食作物产量的相关关系。结果表明:(1)丹东地区稻谷、大豆产量都表现出明显的阶段变化。(2)低温型低温阴雨天气对作物的影响为:玉米大豆稻谷;寡照型低温阴雨天气对玉米、稻谷、大豆的影响相对较大,影响力为:大豆玉米稻谷;多雨型低温阴雨天气对玉米和大豆的影响较稻谷大得多。
