姑婆山主体花岗岩中富钇钍石的发现

本文论述一种据X射线粉晶分析属钍石类矿物结构,但成分上富含高量重稀土(HRE_2O_3达11.51%),且以钇(Y_2O_3达8.69%)为主的钍石矿物。文中在阐述其产状、共生组合及物性的基础上,对其生成条件进行了初步探讨,认为该矿物的生成是两次替代作用的结果。铀在其中起了媒介作用;重稀土(特别是钇)在姑婆山主体花岗岩边部相岩石中的明显富集是其生成的物质条件。     

中蒙强、弱沙尘暴年春季平均环流及沙尘活动变化分析

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对比分析了中蒙东、中及西区强、弱沙尘暴年春季(3-5月)平均环流的特征和差异,讨论了过去50年3分区沙尘暴活动的变化.主要结论是:(1)根据诱发沙尘暴的诱生系统、沙尘源地、冷空气入侵路径及主要影响,中蒙沙尘暴活动区可以划分为中蒙东区、中区及西区3个区系,并分区整体讨论与预测中蒙3分区的沙尘活动.(2)中蒙东区沙尘暴强年春季盛行日本海或中国东北低压活动,常随偏东的北路及东北路冷空气入侵,带来蒙古国东部的沙尘,造成蒙古东部及中国华北的沙尘天气;而弱年春季日本海及东北低压活动则少.(3)中蒙中区沙尘暴强年春季盛行蒙古低压,多西北路及偏西的北路冷空气入侵,常造成中蒙南边界西段附近的沙尘暴天气;而沙尘暴弱年春季则相反.(4)中蒙西区沙尘暴强年春季盛行南疆热低压,多西路冷空气入侵,诱发沙尘暴,常影响南疆及柴达木盆地等;弱年春季则相反.(5)近50年中蒙地区的沙尘暴活动呈波动变化,荒漠化环境、特别是大气环流的变化是导致上述3个分区沙尘活动波动变化的主要原因.主要从大气环流角度考虑,在目前全球增暖持续的背景下,近1-2年应注意中、东区(特别是东区)沙尘活动加强的可能性.     

Evaluating the spatiotemporal variations of water budget across China over 1951–2006 using IBIS model

The Integrated Biosphere Simulator is used to evaluate the spatial and temporal patterns of the crucial hydrological variables [run‐off and actual evapotranspiration (AET)] of the water balance across China for the period 1951–2006 including a precipitation analysis. Results suggest three major findings. First, simulated run‐off captured 85% of the spatial variability and 80% of the temporal variability for 85 hydrological gauges across China. The mean relative errors were within 20% for 66% of the studied stations and within 30% for 86% of the stations. The Nash–Sutcliffe coefficients indicated that the quantity pattern of run‐off was also captured acceptably except for some watersheds in southwestern and northwestern China. The possible reasons for underestimation of run‐off in the Tibetan plateau include underestimation of precipitation and uncertainties in other meteorological data due to complex topography, and simplified representations of the soil depth attribute and snow processes in the model. Second, simulated AET matched reasonably with estimated values calculated as the residual of precipitation and run‐off for watersheds controlled by the hydrological gauges. Finally, trend analysis based on the Mann–Kendall method indicated that significant increasing and decreasing patterns in precipitation appeared in the northwest part of China and the Yellow River region, respectively. Significant increasing and decreasing trends in AET were detected in the Southwest region and the Yangtze River region, respectively. In addition, the Southwest region, northern China (including the Heilongjiang, Liaohe, and Haihe Basins), and the Yellow River Basin showed significant decreasing trends in run‐off, and the Zhemin hydrological region showed a significant increasing trend.

Direct observation of complex Tóthian groundwater flow systems in the laboratory

Based on the theory of gravity‐driven groundwater flow systems, we have developed a complex Flow System Sand‐Box Model (FSM). It enables the visual observations of the development and characteristics and temporal evolution of complex Tóthian flow systems in the laboratory. The configuration of the regional, intermediate and local flow systems can be controlled and observed; hydraulic head, flow direction and travel time can be measured; and the scale and shape of the sub‐flow systems as well as the path lines and flow lines can be observed directly. The experiments demonstrate the Tóthian flow systems in a small basin with multiple sources and sinks. Greater local topographic (water table) undulation will lead to larger local flow systems. Greater regional and less local topographic undulation will enhance the development of intermediate and regional flow systems. In homogeneous media, increasing fluid‐potential differences between source and sink increase the spatial scale of the generated flow systems. The FSM is a useful teaching aid and experimental device to study and develop an intuitive insight into gravity‐driven groundwater flow systems. It helps to visualize and understand the hydraulic properties and controlling factors of Tóthian flow systems and may be used to study problems related to the chemical and temperature characteristics of the flow systems as well.

Storm Deposits of the Sinian Zhangqu Formation in Northern Anhui — An Upward Shallowing Carbonate Sequence1

Abstract This paper studies, for the first time, the storm deposits of a carbonate sequence in the Sinian Zhangqu Formation in northern Anhui. In the formation, a great number of calcareous trider sponge spicules were discovered in a distal storm turbidity sequence, which have provided further evidence for the correlation of the Sinian Systems in North and South China from a view point of palaeontology.

未来地震震级的定量计算

将某一地震带在强震前某一时期内发生的地震,按其面波震级大小自大到小排列,并以N=2、3、4、……来累计频度,采用公式logN=a-bM计算a、b,从而计算出第一个地震的震级M_1,这就是未来可能发生地震的震级。通过对川滇地区和华北地区的九次近期强震进行计算,结果表明,在震级测定误差范围(±0.3级)内,上述的M和logN之间具有很好的线性关系,这就为地震预报和地震区划中定量计算未来地震震级提出了一个新的方法。

青藏高原的不同地形方案对天气系统影响的数值试验

利用欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)的有限区域模式,检验了青藏高原对东亚大气环流的动力作用,结果表明,高原对冷暖空气的阻隔是我国西北地区很少出现气旋的重要原因,如果没有青藏高原,西北地区会有气旋强烈发展。西风槽的结构、西太平洋副热带高压的进退等对高原动力作用十分敏惑;近地面次天气尺度系统及平流层上庞大的南亚高压也明显地受高原影响。 作者认为,在数值模式中,地形在垂直方向过度地平滑及在水平方向的过度扩张,会造成在模拟不同尺度系统动力效应时出现失真,从而导致预报误差的增大。
