Population structure of antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) in the waters north and west of Antarctic Peninsula

Antarctic krill (Euphasia superba Dana) is a key organism of the Antarctic marine ecosystem and a potential fishery resoure. Its ecology was the major biological project in the First Chinese Antarctic Expedition (1985). Acoustic observations and IKMT tows were madecin waters north and west of Antarctic Peninsula. Environmental factors were also observed. Analyses of the population structure, i.e. the sex percentage distribution and other data obtained show that among the 3,640 individuals of determinable sex, only 38.1% were males and that the larger the body length the smaller the percentage of males, for example, male percentage dropped to 8.3% for size group >55 mm. The population's relations to environmental factors are also discussed. Contribution No. 1711 from the Institute of Oceanology, Academia Sinica.

A diagnostic analysis on the effect of the residual layer in convective boundary layer development near Mongolia using 20th century reanalysis data

Although the residual layer has already been noted in the classical diurnal cycle of the atmospheric boundary layer,its effect on the development of the convective boundary layer has not been well studied. In this study, based on 3-hourly20 th century reanalysis data, the residual layer is considered as a common layer capping the convective boundary layer. It is identified daily by investigating the development of the convective boundary layer. The region of interest is bounded by(30°–60° N, 80°–120° E), where a residual layer deeper than 2000 m has been reported using radiosondes. The lapse rate and wind shear within the residual layer are compared with the surface sensible heat flux by investigating their climatological means, interannual variations and daily variations. The lapse rate of the residual layer and the convective boundary layer depth correspond well in their seasonal variations and climatological mean patterns. On the interannual scale, the correlation coefficient between their regional averaged(40°–50°N, 90°–110° E) variations is higher than that between the surface sensible heat flux and convective boundary layer depth. On the daily scale, the correlation between the lapse rate and the convective boundary layer depth in most months is still statistically significant during 1970–2012. Therefore, we suggest that the existence of a deep neutral residual layer is crucial to the formation of a deep convective boundary layer near the Mongolian regions.     

Determining the optimal pumping duration of transient pumping tests for estimating hydraulic properties of leaky aquifers using global curve-fitting method: a simulation approach

Global curve-fitting method (GCFM) is regarded as an effective approach in hydrogeological parameter estimation, as it integrates and uses pumping data and water recovery data of a transient pumping test for parameter estimation. The impacts of pumping duration on hydrogeological parameter estimation by GCFM were investigated in the present study using 2 in situ pumping tests and 24 simulated transient pumping tests. Empirical formulas for determining the optimal pumping duration were derived. The study results suggest that pumping duration will have impacts on the accuracy of hydrogeological parameter estimation. When pumping duration is longer than a certain period, relative errors of hydrogeological parameter estimation keep relatively stable within an acceptable limit. Therefore, it is unnecessary to continue the pumping for a very long time after the groundwater level has become stable. When the change rate of drawdown over time (γ) in an observation well located within a distance of 100 m to the pumping well reaches 0.134, the pumping can be stopped. If there are more than one observation wells in a pumping test, the smallest γ value should be selected to determine the optimal pumping duration. This research is meaningful in the instruction of pumping tests, and will reduce test costs greatly.

巴丹吉林沙漠周边地区降水量的时空变化特征

分析了巴丹吉林沙漠周边17个常规气象测站1951—2005年的逐月降水量及沙尘暴频次和东亚夏季风指数。(1)沙漠周边地区降水量的空间分布明显受地形影响:紧靠沙漠的区域地势低、干旱,各季降水量都小;沙漠外围较远处(特别是受祁连山影响的西南边)地势高、湿润,各季降水量都大;地形增高会使降水量增多1个量级以上,但对其季节配额无明显影响。夏季降水量配额最大,平均高达61.6%。(2)依据各站降水量年际变化间的相关系数及测站间的地域关系和地貌相似程度,可将该区域划为4个分区:一为地势较低、紧挨沙漠、极为干旱的沙漠西北缘区,二为气候较湿、受祁连山影响的沙漠西南缘区(或称祁连山影响区),三为位于巴丹吉林沙漠和腾格里沙漠之间的民勤区,四为远离沙漠、但与其周边地区地貌相似的沙漠东侧区。(3)1951—2005年的各个年代,4个分区各季降水量由大到小的顺序均为:祁连山影响区、沙漠东侧区、民勤区和沙漠西北缘区,与其平均海拔由高到低的顺序一致;就各季降水量及其配额的年代际演变位相而言,祁连山影响区可以代表整个区域。(4)1971—2005年各分区年降水量呈增大趋势,春季降水量增加尤为显著(增幅约为0.41mm·a-1),夏季降水量有减小趋势;随海拔增高,春季及年降水量增幅加大,夏季降水量减幅减小;祁连山影响区对全区年降水量增大的贡献最大。(5)各季及年降水量与东亚夏季风的强弱间均呈复相关;其中冬、夏季及年降水量与夏季风间的负相关随海拔升高而加大,说明夏季风对沙漠以南高海拔处的降水影响更为显著。(6)各季沙尘暴与降水量间以负相关为主,各分区冬、春季降水量偏多时,其冬、春季及夏季沙尘暴的发生频次一般偏少。     

联合降水微物理特征测量仪、激光雨滴谱仪和雨量计的降水对比观测分析

为了对降水微物理特征测量仪(PMCS)的测量性能进行评估,利用PMCS、激光雨滴谱仪(OTT)和雨量计(Gauge)在南京地区进行了降水对比观测实验,通过分析各仪器所测得的降水强度和累计降水量,研究了PMCS和OTT在不同降水强度条件下的尺度谱及其谱参数测量的差异性。结果表明:PMCS所测得的降水强度和累计降水量较OTT小,但更接近于Gauge所测得标准降水强度和累计降水量,3种仪器降水强度结果的相关性均在0.96以上。PMCS测得的谱均值、谱方差、雷达回波强度均小于OTT所测得结果,数密度均大于OTT所测得结果,两者所测得谱参数的变化趋势具有较好的一致性。在相同降水强度范围内,PMCS和OTT所测得的雨滴尺度谱分布趋势具有较好的一致性,在雨滴大尺度段,PMCS测得的雨滴数较OTT偏少,PMCS和OTT对于雨滴的捕获性能随着降水强度增加而增强,并在达到峰值后逐渐减弱。     

新建高层建筑物对周边雷电环境的影响

结合江西省南昌市某新建高层建筑物的案例,分析了高层建筑物对周边建筑物雷电环境的影响。结果表明:新建高层建筑物的存在将减小周边较低建筑物遭受直接雷击危害的概率,具体减少的程度与建筑物的相对距离和相对高度有关;由于新建高层建筑物遭受直接雷击的概率远远大于周边较低建筑物,雷击时所产生的电磁脉冲对周边建筑物电器设备损害的概率要大大增加;新建高层建筑物的管线与原较低建筑物的管线不可能完全分开,原建筑物管线可能流入的雷电流也会大大增加。因此,在新建高层建筑物设计时,应根据具体情况进一步完善原周边建筑物防雷击电磁脉冲措施,加强屏蔽与综合布线、等电位连接。
