Long-distance atmospheric moisture dominates water budget in permafrost regions of the Central Qinghai-Tibet plateau

Precipitation plays an important role in permafrost hydrology; it can alter the hydrothermal condition of the active layer and even influence the permafrost aggradation or degradation. Moisture recycling from evaporation and transpiration can greatly contribute to local precipitation in some regions. This study selected four monitoring sites and used an isotope mixing model to investigate local moisture recycling in permafrost regions of the central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). The results showed that the local water vapour flux in the summer and autumn were dominantly influenced by westerlies and the Indian monsoon. Moistures for precipitation in Wudaoliang (WDL) and Fenghuoshan (FHS) mainly came from the western QTP, eastern Tianshan Mountains, western Qilian Mountains, and the surrounding regions. In comparsion, more than half of precipitation at Tanggula (TGL) was mostly sourced from the Indian monsoon. Local moisture recycling ratios at the four sites ranged from 14% ± 3.8% to 31.6% ± 4.8%, and depended on the soil moisture and relative humidity. In particular, the higher soil moisture and relative humidity promoted local moisture recycling, but frozen ground might be a potential influencing factor as well. The moisture recycling ratios of the study area were consistent with the results from both the Qinghai Lake Basin and the Nam Co Basin, but differed from those of the northwestern QTP. This difference may indirectly confirm the great spatial variability in precipitation on the QTP. Moreover, the rising air temperature and ground temperature, increasing precipitation, higher soil moisture, higher vegetation cover, and expanding lakes in the study area may be conductive to enhancing future local moisture recycling by altering ground surface conditions and facilitating the land surface evaporation and plant transpiration.     

唐山地震的非均匀错动模型──水准资料的反演结果

从地震矩张量的理论和点源的垂直位移公式出发，通过离散化地震矩密度，得到了用水准资料反演断层非均匀破裂的有限元模型。利用唐山地震前后的水准资料，采用非负限制的梯度方法反演了唐山地震的非均匀破裂，发现唐山地震的破裂主要是由两部分组成的，其中最大点滑动量为９．９０ｍ。计算得到地震矩为１．５×１０（２２）Ｎ·ｃｍ，说明唐山地震前后一年内的垂直形变是同震变化。

VARYING SEASONS'' MESOSCALE WIND FIELD CIRCULATION IN HAINAN ISLAND

Using a one-level numerical diagnostic model, the features of surface wind fields in Hainan Island and Leizhou Peninsula and maritime area around it are studied. In the experiments with prevailing synoptic situation for varying seasons there are obvious deflection flows, terrain slope drafts, convergence lines, sea/land breeze and mountain/valley breeze, and difference in season accounts for the features found in the mesoscale distribution.The complex terrain and seatland distribution in the area is shown to be the important cause for the formation of varying mesoscale circulation, and close relationships between local climatic distribution feature and mesoscale circulation are then revealed.     

Linear and non‐linear scaling of the Yangtze River flow

Power law correlation properties of sign and magnitude series have been studied based on the series of observation records of flow of the River Yangtze. The results obtained give improved insight into and understanding of the linear and non‐linear processes of the water cycle. With the newly developed Delayed Vector Variance method and the surrogate test, the documented linkage between the sign series and the linear process, and that between the magnitude series and non‐linear process can be verified. The spectra estimated by detrended fluctuation analysis method show different properties of intra‐annual and inter‐annual correlations in both sign and magnitude series. The linear process behaves as an 1/f noise at a time scale less than about 60 days, but shows features of anti‐persistence in terms of long‐term fluctuation. The magnitudes are clustered in three ways mainly caused by non‐linear processes, i.e. periodic clustering, strong short‐term clustering of 1/f noise at time scales less than 20 days, and long‐term clustering with weak persistence.

A nearly analytic exponential time difference method for solving 2D seismic wave equations

In this paper, we propose a nearly analytic exponential time difference (NETD) method for solving the 2D acoustic and elastic wave equations. In this method, we use the nearly analytic discrete operator to approximate the high-order spatial differential operators and transform the seismic wave equations into semi-discrete ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Then, the converted ODE system is solved by the exponential time difference (ETD) method. We investigate the properties of NETD in detail, including the stability condition for 1-D and 2-D cases, the theoretical and relative errors, the numerical dispersion relation for the 2-D acoustic case, and the computational efficiency. In order to further validate the method, we apply it to simulating acoustic/elastic wave propagation in multilayer models which have strong contrasts and complex heterogeneous media, e.g., the SEG model and the Marmousi model. From our theoretical analyses and numerical results, the NETD can suppress numerical dispersion effectively by using the displacement and gradient to approximate the high-order spatial derivatives. In addition, because NETD is based on the structure of the Lie group method which preserves the quantitative properties of differential equations, it can achieve more accurate results than the classical methods.     

秦岭造山带中-新元古代(早期)地质演化

秦岭造山带是位于中国大陆中部并夹持于华北与扬子陆块之间的大陆造山带,是加里东期至印支期的碰撞造山带。对前加里东期演化虽然亦积累了不少资料,但认识上存在较大分歧。本文着重介绍秦岭造山带自中元古代晚期武关裂谷的打开(1243Ma±46Ma),中元古代末期松树沟洋盆的形成(1084Ma±73Ma～1030Ma±46Ma)以及新元古代早期同造山期花岗岩的侵入(960～840Ma)等自1.25Ga至0.84Ga期间的一系列热-构造事件,反映扬子大陆边缘前加里东期曾经历过一次“威尔逊构造旋回”,表明该区存在中—新元古代造山带的地质记录。但这次造山作用不是华北与扬子大陆的汇聚,而是曾属于扬子大陆边缘的“北秦岭变质地体”与其南的扬子大陆的一次汇聚过程。     

基于地理加权回归的青藏高原季节冻土区土壤有机碳空间分布研究

青藏高原土壤有机碳储量（soil organic carbon stocks, SOCS）对于区域生态环境演替具有重要作用, 但是其空间分布数据还比较缺乏, 特别是季节冻土区的数据较少。基于378个土壤剖面数据, 结合与土壤有机碳（soil organic carbon, SOC）相关的地形、 气候以及植被等环境因子, 使用地理加权回归（geographically weighted regression, GWR）模型模拟了青藏高原季节冻土区0 ~ 30 cm、 0 ~ 50 cm、 0 ~ 100 cm和0 ~ 200 cm深度的SOC总量和空间分布。结果表明： 青藏高原季节冻土区SOCS自东南向西北递减, 表层0 ~ 200 cm的SOC总量约15.37 Pg; 季节冻土区不同植被类型SOC从大到小依次为森林、 灌丛、 高寒草甸、 高寒草原和高寒荒漠; 各土壤类型中棕壤、 黑钙土和泥炭土的SOC最大, 而棕钙土、 棕漠土、 灰棕漠土、 风沙土、 石质土、 盐土、 冷钙土、 寒漠土以及冷漠土的SOC最小。研究结果给出了青藏高原季节冻土区SOC的总量、 空间分布及规律, 可为相关地球模式的发展提供基础数据。     

青藏高原近地表土壤不同冻融状态的变化特征及其与气温的关系

近地表层作为陆-气相互作用的重要界面,其土壤的冻融状态可直接或间接的反映陆地表对气候的响应程度。为了探讨青藏高原近地表土壤受气候变化的影响,利用青藏高原87个气象站逐日地表温度资料,结合空间分析技术和数理统计方法,将土壤冻融状态划分为三种状态,即完全冻结状态（CF）、日冻融循环状态（DFT）和完全融化状态（CT）,分析青藏高原1980-2015年近地表不同冻融状态的时空变化及其与气温的关系。研究表明：青藏高原近地表土壤不同冻融状态有明显的时空差异。CF集中在11月-翌年2月,约为2 d;DFT主要出现于10月-翌年4月,每年发生约150 d;CT则主要集中于每年3-10月,出现约217 d。空间分布上,CF主要发生在高原东北部;DFT几乎遍布整个高原,且以冷季出现较多;CT与DFT呈现相反的分布特征。多年冻土区,CF和DFT状态变化较显著;而在非多年冻土区,CT状态变化幅度较大。不同冻融状态与月平均气温（T_mair）也有较好的对应关系：CF主要发生在T_mair<0℃的区间,DFT则发生在T_mair≤17℃区间内,而CT主要出现在T_mair>0℃。
