Drought–flood variation and its correlation with runoff in three headstreams of Tarim River, Xinjiang, China

The Tarim River lies in the inland area of Northwest China, which has a semiarid or arid climate. Because of relatively scarce precipitation in this area, the main water resource is runoff from a mountainous drainage basin. It is very important to ascertain variations of regular hydrologic and meteorological time series data. Through the use of monthly precipitation and hydrologic data in the three headstream mountain areas of the Tarim River over the past 50 years, this work analyzes the variation of a drought–flood index and annual runoff volume, along with spatio-temporal structures of the index related to runoff at multiple time scales, via non-parametric testing and a wavelet transform method. Wavelet transform can clearly demonstrate many characteristics of the time series, including trend, shift, and major periods. Based on the analysis, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) the drought–flood indices showed increasing trends for the Aksu and Yarkand rivers, and rose non-significantly for Hotan River. The indices of the three headstreams changed remarkably (p < 0.05) in 1986. The curves of wavelet variance show that significant periods of the indices are 4 and 8 years for Aksu and Hotan rivers, and 8 and 10 years for Yarkand River; (2) runoff of the Aksu and Hotan rivers had significant periods of 6 and 8 years, plus 3 and 9 years for Hotan River; (3) there was significant correlation between the drought–flood indices and annual runoff volume in the three headstreams. The results provide important information toward achieving predictability of flood and drought in Northwest China.     

Radar spectral analysis and evaluation of the effect of grouting treatment in karst caves and soil caves

This paper studies karst cave and soil cavity development in the process of karst collapse as a means of disaster prevention and control. Using the karst area of the Shandong section of the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway as a test area, a numerical simulation method is presented as well as the model test to study the characteristics of typical radar images of different types of karst caves and soil cavities. By combining theoretical analysis with field test results, the method and characteristic standards for nondestructive testing using ground-penetrating radar to determine the grouting effect on a karst roadbed are given. The radar spectrum characteristics are analyzed for a cave, water-filled cave, clay-filled cave, karst cave with dense grouting and karst cave with grouting that is not dense. Comprehensive analysis of the results of indoor model testing and numerical analysis, combined with the engineering practice of evaluating the effect of grouting treatment in the selected section of the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway, clarifies the basic characteristics of map recognition of radar detection of karst grouting. The morphological characteristics of the karst caves in the geological radar images are usually composed of many hyperbolic strong reflection waves. Multiple-reflection wave groups of high amplitude, low frequency, and equal distance indicate the side wall of the cave. The bottom interface of the cave is not obvious, although when the bottom part of the cave is filled with water or clay, silt, sand and gravel material. The bottom of the reflection wave will be enhanced. When the cave is filled with material, the electromagnetic wave energy decays rapidly, the high-frequency part is absorbed, and the reflection is mostly low frequency wave. The characteristics of radar images of the slurry distribution area are obvious in the grouting zone. A horizontal direction results in arc-shaped distribution, and a vertical direction has more regular distribution. The results of the study are helpful in the exploration of karst caves and soil caves, and the evaluation of the effect of grouting treatment in mitigating karst collapse.

High Flare Activity in the Late Declining Phase of Cycle 23

In the declining phase of the current solar cycle (23), a large number of major flares were produced. In this cycle, the monthly sunspot number continuously remained below 100 since October 2002. However, during four epochs since then, flare activity became very high. Compared to this, each of cycles 21 and 22 produced only one epoch of high activity in the declining phase. In the declining phase of cycle 20, similarly to this cycle, there were four epochs of high flare activity. During 2003 and 2004, the distribution of flare sizes measured in GOES classes was much harder (i.e., proportionately more energetic flares) than during the maximum years. Such pronounced hardening of the size distribution was not observed in the previous cycles. It is of theoretical interest to understand why some cycles are very active in the declining phase, and the high level of activity in the declining phase has practical implications for planning solar observations and forecasting space weather.

Numerical simulation of seismic wavefields in TTI media using the rotated staggered-grid compact finite-difference scheme

Numerical simulation in transverse isotropic media with tilted symmetry axis(TTI) using the standard staggered-grid finite-difference scheme(SSG)results in errors caused by averaging or interpolation. In order to eliminate the errors, a method of rotated staggered-grid finite-difference scheme(RSG) is proposed. However, the RSG brings serious numerical dispersion. The compact staggered-grid finite-difference scheme(CSG) is an implicit difference scheme, which use fewer grid points to suppress dispersion more effectively than the SSG. This paper combines the CSG with the RSG to derive a rotated staggered-grid compact finite-difference scheme(RSGC). The numerical experiments indicate that the RSGC has weaker numerical dispersion and better accuracy than the RSG.     

四川石棉地区碲成矿地质背景、地球化学特征及其地质意义

大水沟碲矿床作为世界唯一碲独立成矿矿床,从它的偶然发现至今,一直倍受关注,但一直缺乏相关的探寻与对类似碲矿床的地球化学理论方法研究。石棉地区主要富集与基性岩浆活动有关的亲基性场元素或氧化物,Te、Bi成矿元素的整体含量不高,发生不同程度的贫化,碲在二叠系、志留系通化岩组、奥陶系大河边组、震旦系及二叠—三叠纪侵入岩中具有较好的局部富集和成矿潜力。虽然碲矿区内各元素含量水平不高,但Te、Bi平均含量高于石棉地区平均含量,接近西南五省背景值。根据碲成矿地质背景、石棉地区与碲矿区的地球化学特征,建立碲矿的地球化学找矿模型,运用模型为石棉地区提供了最具潜力的碲找矿靶区与方向,部分靶区已发现碲矿脉或矿化。
