A CASE OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX EVOLVING INTO A VORTEX*

A case of mesoscale convective complex(MCC) which evolved into a vortex is documented in this paper.As the MCC entered into the dissipating phase,a well-defined spirally banded structure became visible in the satellite image.The blackbody temperature(TBB) of the residual cold-cloud-shield indicates the vortex existed in the layer from 400 to 250 hPa.According to the upper air analysis,the upper level vortex was an anticyclone.The MCC-generated vortex was visualized in the satellite images because it was located in the subtropical high where the wind field was very weak.     

闾阳－海城－东沟剖面深地震波动力学特征初探

本文利用国内外有关深地震波动力学特征的研究方法，结合现有原始资料的实际条件，对闾阳－海城－东沟深地震测深剖面某些地段的主要波组的动力学特征进行了定性或半定量的分析与研究。在频谱分析，速度振幅的计算与相对理论振幅的对比等方面，获得了一些有益信息。为进一步合理解释深地震测深资料提供依据。     

天水地区大地电磁测量及深部电性结构

天水地区的大地电磁测量结果表明，在４３ｋｍ左右的深度上普遍存在高导层，这可能是壳幔过渡带的反映。岩石圈厚度大约９５－１１０ｋｍ。在天水太京附近可能存在一条大型近东西向地壳－岩石圈构造带，在秦安以北的叶堡和陇城附近可能也存在一条近南北向的大型地壳－岩石圈构造带，它们都是不同构造单元的分界线。１６５４年天水８级大震可能与深部热异常引起的热应力有关。     

内蒙地轴南缘盖层中逆冲断层的样式及形成机制

内蒙地轴南缘盖层中,发育了多种样式的逆冲断层,如叠瓦式、背冲式、对冲式和楔冲式.这些逆冲断层都发育在基底断裂控制的断陷盆地边缘,并向盆内逆冲。形成发育的过程是:区域拉伸、基底断裂活动和断陷盆地发育→区域挤压、盆缘逆冲断层发育→盆缘进一步隆起、逆冲断层进一步发育。所以区域拉伸和挤压、断陷盆地的发育和盆缘逆冲断层的活动三者密切相关。逆冲作用主要发生于燕山运动时期。     

Collision and thermal history of Indian-Sundaland-Eurasian plates as implicated by40Ar/39Ar age spectra of granodiorites

⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar plateau ages of biotite, plagioclase, K-feldspar and hornblende from the Biluoxueshan and Lincang plutons in the three-river area of Yunnan and the Quxu pluton in the Gandise belt of Xizang indicate that the three plutons were emplaced at 420, 234 and 43.4 Ma, respectively. Based on the study of closure temperatures and thermal histories, it is shown that the Lincang and Biluoxueshan plutons experienced the same thermodynamic event during 85–90 Ma, temporally representing the collision between the Sundaland and Eurasian plates, and that the Quxu pluton was uplifted at a much faster rate during 40–44 Ma(2.6 mm/a), marking the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates.     

北京地区地壳Q值随深度的分布特征

地震波在介质中的衰减,是介质的重要特性之一,而Q值则是衡量衰减特性的主要物理参数,称之谓介质的品质因子。根据文献[1]提出的方法,用北京台网记到的近震直达P波资料,测定北京地区的大量Q值表明:Q值与P、S波到时差(t_s—t_p)有关;(t_s—t_P)大,测得的Q值也大;(t_s—t_P)小,测得的Q值也小。这种现象在朱传镇、李兴才     

Prediction of polar motion

Based on an analysis of polar motion behavior, we found the possibility of predicting polar motion up to one year in advance. Comparing these predicted polar coordinates with the observed ones (smoothed), the rms of the differences is about 0".02. The differences of the relative polar motion are much smaller. For any time interval of 20–30 days throughout the whole year, the rms of the relative polar motion differences is about 0".01. It appears that 80–90% of the polar motion is composed of the stable, predictable Chandler and annual terms.     

Morphological peculiarities of synthesized diamonds and a preliminary discussion on the region for perfect diamond crystal growth

Crystal habit and morphological peculiarities of synthetic diamonds at various temperatures and pressures have been studied. A diagram has been proposed based on experimental data for different crystal morphologies with respect to differentT-P conditions. A preliminary discussion has been given to the growth field of perfect crystals and a principle is presented for the optimumT-P conditions for synthesis of perfect diamonds.
