Simultaneous SOHO and Ground-Based Observations of a Large Eruptive Prominence and Coronal Mass Ejection

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are frequently associated with erupting prominences near the solar surface. A spectacular eruption of the southern polar crown prominence was observed on 2 June 1998, accompanied by a CME that was well-observed by the LASCO coronagraphs on SOHO. The prominence was observed in its quiescent state and was followed throughout its eruption by the SOHO EIT and later by LASCO as the bright, twisted core of the CME. Ground-based H observations of the prominence were obtained at the Ondejov Observatory in the Czech Republic. A great deal of fine structure was observed within the prominence as it erupted. The prominence motion was found to rotate about its axis as it moved outward. The CME contained a helical structure that is consistent with the ejection of a magnetic flux rope from the Sun. Similar structures have been observed by LASCO in many other CMEs. The relationship of the flux rope to other structures in the CME is often not clear. In this event, the prominence clearly lies near the trailing edge of the structure identified as a flux rope. This structure can be observed from the onset of the CME in the low corona all the way out to the edge of the LASCO field of view. The initiation and evolution of the CME are modeled using a fully self-consistent, 3D axisymmetric, MHD code.

中东亚干旱半干旱区C3植物δ13 C值的分布 及其对气候的响应*

植物化石和土壤中的有机质碳同位素指标常用来反映古气候的变化,然而碳同位素这个指标在特定地区反映气候的定量关系缺乏检验。研究剖面选择自中国的秦岭(34°14'24″N,106°55'30″E)到蒙古人民共和国北部,接近贝加尔湖地区(51°35'08″N, 100°45'49″E)的研究剖面线,选择了3种C₃植物(Artemisia scoparia, Ajania achilleides 和 Artemisia frigida),在剖面线上沿南北方向上每隔4'到5'采取一个样点,共选取161个C₃植物茎叶样品进行了δ¹³ C值测定。同时收集了剖面线附近气象站的降水、气温等资料,用插值方法得到每个采样点的气温、降水数据。分析表明:C₃植物的δ¹³ C值分布范围为-30 ‰ ~-22 ‰ ,其平均值为-26.81 ‰ ,该平均值较全球C₃植物δ¹³ C平均值偏正。通过对比C₃植物δ¹³ C与年均温、年均降水量、生长季节的干燥度等随纬度的变化规律,发现C₃植物δ¹³ C、年均降水量、生长季节的干燥度有非常一致的变化趋势,而C₃植物δ¹³ C和年均温不具有一致性。通过一元回归分析也同样发现C₃植物δ¹³ C与年均降水量呈线性负相关关系(y=-0.0077x-24.838,n=161,R²=0.4418,p=0.01),与生长季节的干燥度呈线性正相关关系(y=0.7328x-28.806,n=161,R²=0.3685,p=0.01),而与年均温度没有明显的相关关系(y=-0.0461x-26.756,n=161,R²=0.0232,p=0.01)。在本研究区C₃植物δ¹³ C对年均降水量和生长季节的干燥度响应十分显著,而对温度的响应不明显。研究区具有明显的降水和温度的梯度分布特征,是验证植物碳同位素与气候关系的理想场所,而土壤中的有机质碳同位素与其地面上的植物碳同位素息息相关。研究也说明,在本研究区或其他气候植物组合相似的地区可以利用古土壤中的有机质碳同位素来定量或半定量地反映古气候的变化。     

伊犁盆地侏罗系水西沟群层序地层学研究

伊犁盆地侏罗系水西沟群是一套在基本一致的构造应力和沉积环境下形成的含煤碎屑岩建造,但在这套地层的中部(三工河组)出现了岩性、颜色的突变,并且对应的测井曲线也出现明显的突坎现象。笔者运用层序地层学的观点,从年代地层、岩性、体系域、沉积韵律以及测井曲线解释等5方面对这一现象进行了分析,认为该群中部存在一不整合面(或层序界面),并尝试对水西沟群层序地层进行重新划分。

利用M ICAPS系统资料和卫星云图及多普勒雷达资料对2005-09-20宝鸡强对流暴雨进行分析,结果表明此次强降水与副高外围暖湿气流和东西两路冷空气形成的锢囚锋共同影响有关。低空急流为暴雨提供了丰沛的水汽和位势不稳定能量;横槽转竖和高原槽的合并加深,有利于引导冷空气南下,锋区加强。物理量场表现出水汽强辐合;高层辐散和低层辐合及强烈的上升运动;等sθe线密集区蕴藏着可供中尺度对流发展所必需的不稳定能量。冷、暖空气共同作用激发出中-α尺度对流云团;雷达图上对应有强度≥35 dB z的中尺度对流回波带。     

FEATURES OF WATER VAPOR TRANSPORT OF TYPHOON DAN (9914)

The 2.5^。×2.52^。 gridded ECMWF reanalysis data are used to diagnose the genesis, development and dissipation of typhoon Dan by calculated stream function, velocity potential and vapor budget. It is shown in the result that when typhoon Dan moved westwards, water vapor mainly came from the eastern and western boundaries, with most of it was transferred by the easterly flow south of the western North Pacific subtropical high; after Dan swerved northwards, water vapor mainly came from western boundary of the typhoon, and the vapor came from the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. The transfer of water vapor was mainly concentrated on the mid-lower troposphere, especially the level of 925hPa, at which the most intensive transfer belt was located. During the different period of typhoon Dan, there was great water vapor change as indicated by stream function, velocity potential and vapor budget, which suggest the importance of water vapor in the development of typhoon Dan.     

An Aggregate Constraint Method for Inequality-constrained Least Squares Problems

The inequality-constrained least squares (ICLS) problem can be solved by the simplex algorithm of quadratic programming. The ICLS problem may also be reformulated as a Bayesian problem and solved by using the Bayesian principle. This paper proposes using the aggregate constraint method of non-linear programming to solve the ICLS problem by converting many inequality constraints into one equality constraint, which is a basic augmented Lagrangean algorithm for deriving the solution to equality-constrained non-linear programming problems. Since the new approach finds the active constraints, we can derive the approximate algorithm-dependent statistical properties of the solution. As a result, some conclusions about the superiority of the estimator can be approximately made. Two simulated examples are given to show how to compute the approximate statistical properties and to show that the reasonable inequality constraints can improve the results of geodetic network with an ill-conditioned normal matrix.     

Band Selection for Hyperspectral Image Classification Using Mutual Information

Spectral band selection is a fundamental problem in hyperspectral data processing. In this letter, a new band-selection method based on mutual information (MI) is proposed. MI measures the statistical dependence between two random variables and can therefore be used to evaluate the relative utility of each band to classification. A new strategy is described to estimate the MI using a priori knowledge of the scene, reducing reliance on a "ground truth" reference map, by retaining bands with high associated MI values (subject to the so-called "complementary" conditions). Simulations of classification performance on 16 classes of vegetation from the AVIRIS 92AV3C data set show the effectiveness of the method, which outperforms an MI-based method using the associated reference map, an entropy-based method, and a correlation-based method. It is also competitive with the steepest ascent algorithm at much lower computational cost
