Impact of anthropogenic drivers on subaqueous topographical change in the Datong to Xuliujing reach of the Yangtze River

Changes of subaqueous topography in shallow offshore water pose safety risks for embankments,navigation,and ports.This study conducted measurements of subaqueous topography between Datong and Xuliujing in the Yangtze River using a Sea Bat 7125 multi-beam echo sounder,and the channel change from 1998 to 2013 was calculated using historical bathymetry data.The study revealed several important results:(1)the overall pattern of changes through the studied stretch of the river was erosion–deposition–erosion.Erosion with a volume 700×10~6m~3occurred in the upper reach,deposition of about 204×10~6m~3occurred in the middle reach,and erosion of about 602×10~6m~3occurred in the lower reach.(2)Dunes are the most common microtopographic feature,accounting for 64.3%of the Datong to Xuliujing reach,followed by erosional topography and flat river topography,accounting for 27.6%and 6.6%,respectively.(3)Human activities have a direct impact on the development of the microtopography.For instance,the mining of sand formed holes on the surface of dunes with lengths of 20–35 m and depths of 3–5 m.We concluded that the overall trend of erosion(net erosion volume of 468×10~6m~3)occurred in the study area mainly because of the decreased sediment discharge following the closure of the Three Gorges Dam.However,other human activities were also impact factors of topographic change.Use of embankments and channel management reduced channel width,restricted river meandering,and exacerbated the erosion phenomenon.     

2010年新西兰MW7.0主震与2011年MW6.1余震近场强地面运动特征比较分析

2010年9月3日16时35分46秒新西兰南岛Greendale附近发生了M_W7.0地震, 震源深度约10.0 km. 2011年2月21日新西兰南岛又发生了M_W6.1地震, 为2010年M_W7.0主震后最大的一次余震, 震源深度约5.0 km, 发震断层为Christchurch南约9 km一条近东西走向逆冲的隐伏断层, 该地震造成Christchurch城内多处建筑物严重损毁. 本文分析了2010年新西兰地震事件M_W7.0主震与M_W6.1余震强地面运动的特征. 新西兰M_W6.1余震近场强地面运动整体高于M_W7.0主震. 将主震和余震的强震观测记录分别与新一代衰减关系(NGA)进行对比, 发现余震强震观测数据整体高于其震级对应的NGA. 分别选取距离主震和余震震中最近且强震观测记录最高的两个台站(GDLC台站和HVSC台站)作为参照台站, 建立动态复合震源模型(DCSM)及有限断层随机振动模型(SFFM)进行强地面运动的模拟计算, 分析两种模型的模拟结果并对比二者的优势及局限, 以便在未来工作中更好地通过模型计算强地面运动特征, 实现区域化特征快速、 实时分析及局部重点、 细致分析相结合的目标.      

Structure refinement of astrophyllite

The crystal structure of astrophyllite K₂Na(Fe, Mn, Mg,□)₇[Ti₂(Si₄O₁₂)₂|O₃](OH, F)₄ has been refined. The dimensions of the triclinic unit cell are: a = 0.5359(2) nm,b = 1.1614(4) nm, c = 1.1861(4) nm, α= 113.16(2)°, β= 103.04(2)°,γ= 94.56(2)°,V = 0.6495(5) nm³, Z= 1, space group P1, R=0.057 for 5308 reflections |F_o|>3σ|F_o|. According to structural and compositional differences the monoclinic astrophyllite K₂NaNa(Fe, Mn)₄Mg₂Ti2[Si₄O₁₂]₂(OH)₄(OH, F)₂ and astrophyllite should be considered as two different mineral species. Astrophyllite, monoclinic astrophyllite, bafertisite and lamprophyllite contain heteropolyhedral sheets which topologically are related with Si, O sheets of mica where one or several SiO₄ tetrahedra are replaced by TiO _n polyhedra. Therefore this heterophyllotitanosilicate series represents a kind of functional substitution in inorganic crystals.

多普勒雷达基本观测量直接同化对模式物理量场的影响

在GRAPES一3DVar雷达同化模块的基础上,建立了多普勒径向速度和基本反射率因子的直接同化观测算子,实现了雷达反射率因子和径向速度的直接同化,并对2007年7月3日的江淮梅雨进行了模拟试验。结果表明,多普勒径向速度的直接同化的主要影响表现在风场上,能够改善几乎整个三维风场分析,在雷达影响半径范围内,风场明显得到加强,影响当时天气的系统及其高低层配置被合理模拟,但对湿度场影响甚微。雨水混合比的直接同化的主要影响表现在湿度场上,改进了模式对湿度场的模拟,对降水的影响十分显著,有利于准确模拟降水的发展和维持,减小了Spin—up现象;其亦可使整个风场微弱增强,但影响甚微。     

Implementation of a surface runoff model with Horton and Dunne mechanisms into the regional climate model RegCM_NCC

A surface runoff parameterization scheme that dynamically represents both Horton and Dunne runoff generation mechanisms within a model grid cell together with a consideration of the subgrid-scaie soil heterogeneity, is implemented into the National Climate Center regional climate model （RegCM_NCC）. The effects of the modified surface runoff scheme on RegCMANCC performance are tested with an abnormal heavy rainfall process which occurred in summer 1998. Simulated results show that the model with the original surface runoff scheme （noted as CTL） basically captures the spatial pattern of precipitation, circulation and land surface variables, but generally overestimates rainfall compared to observations. The model with the new surface runoff scheme （noted as NRM） reasonably reproduces the distribution pattern of various variables and effectively diminishes the excessive precipitation in the CTL. The processes involved in the improvement of NRM-simulated rainfall may be as follows： with the new surface runoff scheme, simulated surface runoff is larger, soil moisture and evaporation （latent heat flux） are decreased, the available water into the atmosphere is decreased; correspondingly, the atmosphere is drier and rainfall is decreased through various processes. Therefore, the implementation of the new runoff scheme into the RegCMANCC has a significant effect on results at not only the land surface, but also the overlying atmosphere.

九江-瑞昌5.7级地震余震的S波分裂研究

利用在九江-瑞昌MS5.7地震震中附近架设的丁家山台(DJS)、狮子洞台(SZD)和武蛟台(WUJ)的地震波形资料,采用S波分裂系统分析方法,对余震进行了S波分裂分析。结果表明,震中距较小、台站附近断层分布复杂的丁家山台(DJS)的慢波时间延迟相对较大,快波偏振方向不太集中。台站附近断裂分布单一的武蛟台(WUJ)快波偏振优势方向与断裂走向角度相差约35°,与区域主压应力方向也不一致。台站附近无断层通过的狮子洞台(SZD)快波偏振优势方向接近区域主压应力方向。慢波时间延迟大小与震源深度没有明显的规律性关系。     

大庆长垣西缘断裂浅部构造特征

大庆石油物探资料结果表明,大庆长垣西缘断裂的上盘,即东侧的北西向断裂可能存在第四纪活动断裂。为了确定大庆长垣西缘断裂的空间展布以及该区的地壳浅部地质构造特征,本项研究布设了2条跨大庆长垣西缘断裂的浅层地震探测剖面。结果表明,大庆长垣西缘断裂表现为走向北东、倾向南东的逆断层,为一条中生代晚期活动断裂。断裂的上盘,即东侧发育有一系列次级断裂,断裂的断层性质以及断层倾向多样化,两条测线东部均发育错断第四纪地层的断层,使得该区浅部地层形成地堑与地垒构造。本项研究不仅可进一步提高对大庆长垣地区浅部构造特征的认识,而且为大庆市地震危险性评价提供依据。
