The effect of the irregularities of the shape of the Earth's core-mantle boundary on the observed acceleration of gravity

Summary The disturbing gravitational effect of the irregularities of the shape of the coremantle boundary are studied at a point on the Earth's surface. The effect is computed for models of local and zonal distribution of the disturbing masses under the assumption that the total mass of the Earth remains constant. Formulae giving the disturbing gravitational effect as a function of the distribution of the disturbing masses and of the position of the point of observation on the Earth's surface are derived for the individual models. Numerical values of the disturbances have been calculate in all cases.     

Geodynamic interpretation of the earthquake distribution in the kermadec subduction zone

Summary The morphology of the Wadati-Benioff zone in the Kermadec region, based on the distribution of 1100 earthquake foci, verified the existence of an intermediate aseismic gap and its relation to active andesitic volcanism, and the non-uniformity of subduction due to the hampering effect of the main structural features of the subducting Pacific plate. Two cycles of the recently active subduction in the Tonga-Kermadec island arc were found.     

Elastic properties of eclogite rocks from the Bohemian massif

Summary Compressional velocity anistropy has been studied in detail at atmospheric pressure for 78 specimens of 23 types of eclogite rocks from the Bohemian massif. For nine of these rock types, compressional and shear velocities were measured as a function of pressure to750 MPa at room temperature. The velocity anisotropy for both compressional and shear waves is less than4% at high pressure. The velocities increase with increasing garnet content and decrease with increasing symplectitization. The Moldanubian eclogites have significantly higher velocities, on the average, than the eclogites from the Kruné hory crystalline complex, although the densities of both groups are comparable.     

Morphology of the Wadati-Benioff zone,andesitic volcanism,and active fracture zones in Central America

Summary The morphology of the Wadati-Benioff zone in the region of Central America, based on the distribution of 1377 earthquake foci, verified the existence of an intermediate aseismic gap and its relation to active andesitic volcanism, and the non-uniformity of subduction due to the hampering effect of the main structural features of the subducting Cocos plate. Four deep seismically active fracture zones, genetically connected with the process of subduction, and three fracture zones manifesting the possible boundary between the Americas and Caribbean plates were identified in the continental wedge.

西太平洋副热带高压中期变化的数值试验 Ⅰ.青藏高原热源的作用

用一个全球谱模式作数值试验研究了１９７９年６月中旬一次西太平洋副热带高压西伸北进的中期天气过程中青藏高原热源的作用。结果表明：高原的热力作用主要表现在对副高北侧锋区的形成、锋区瓣强度以及与锋区对应的对流层中上层西风急流的强度有较大的影响,有高原热力作用时,锋眍和西风流的强度都强,反之则很弱;另外还发现青藏高原感热和潜热作用是相互依赖的,在一定的天气过程中,弧立起来讨论其各自的相对重要性不太合符实际     

NUMERICAL EXPERIMENT OF MEDIUM-RANGE CHANGE OF THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH Ⅰ. THE INFLUENCE OF THE HEATING SOURCE OVER TIBET PLATEAU

The medium-range change of the subtropical high of June 1979 and its influences of the heating sources over Tibet Plateau are studied by using a global circulation spectrum-model. The analyses of the simulation results show that the heating sources over Tibet Plateau play an important role in the process of frontogenesis. the intensity of frontal zone and the upper-tropospheric westerly jet associated with it. When there are heating sources over Tibet Plateau. both the frontal zone and westerly jet are stronger. There are very important mutual relations between the sensible heating and latent heating. After the sensible heating and latent heating are isolated.it departs much from reality that the significance of them are studied     

1991年夏季持续性异常环流的共轭敏感性分析

在共轭敏感性分析的基础上发展了最敏感扰动的概念。用共轭模式对江淮流域大水1991年东亚夏季环流的持续异常特征,包括乌拉尔阻塞高压、鄂霍次克海偶极子型阻塞以及副热带高压的变动过程进行了分析,分别得到了对这些过程影响最大的初始扰动。结果从新的角度揭示了这些系统最重要的影响因子,也显示了共轭敏感性分析方法在大气环流物理过程诊断中的有效性和应用前景。
