Hard X-ray Source Distributions on EUV Bright Kernels in a Solar Flare

We explore the hard X-ray source distributions of an C1.1 flare occurred on 14 December 2007. Both Hinode/EIS and RHESSI observations are used. One of EIS rasters perfectly covers the double hard X-ray footpoints, where the EUV emission appears strong from the cool line of He ii (log T=4.7) to the hot line of Fe xvi (log T=6.4). We analyze RHESSI X-ray images at different energies and different times before the hard X-ray maximum. The results show a similar topology for the time-dependent source distribution (i.e. at 14:14:35 UT) as that for energy-dependent source distribution (i.e. at a given energy band of 6 – 9 keV) overlapped on EUV bright kernels, which seems to be consistent with the evaporation model.     

Multi-band optical variability of BL Lac object OQ 530

Historical optical data are combined on the BL Lac object OQ 530.Verifying the existence of correlations among the flux variations in different bands serves as an important tool to investigate emission processes.To examine the possible existence of a lag between variations in different optical bands from this source,a statistical analysis is performed through the discrete correlation function(DCF)method and the z-transformed discrete correlation function(ZDCF)method.Monte Carlo simulations called"flux redistribution/random subset selection"(FR/RSS)are performed to obtain statistically meaningful values for the cross-correlation time lags and their related uncertainties.The analysis confirms that the variations in different optical light curves are strongly correlated,with zero-lag within the errors.Long term variability of color indexes is also analyzed.The result suggests a strong correlation between color index and brightness.A clear bluer-when-brighter chromatism is found,in the sense that the spectrum steepens as the brightness decreases.

2000～2008年中国东北样带植被变化

利用经过重建后的 2000～2008年生长季MODIS-NDVI时间序列逐年生长季均值对中国东北样带植被覆盖变化进行了研究,发现植被NDVI变化过程具有明显的时空分异特征.在时间上,2001年与2002年NDVI均值比 2000～2008年9年均值分别偏低1.89%和1.44%,而2003年和2008年分别偏高2.92%和2.87%.在空间上,样带东部半湿润地区植被覆盖在 2000～2008年间年际变化很小,NDVI波动在2%以下.样带中部半干旱区NDVI波动一般低于5%.而样带西部干旱的草原和荒漠化草原区植被覆盖波动明显,NDVI波动于2003年和2008年分别出现了8.51%和6.35%高值,裸地甚至于2003年出现了高达15.07%的波动.研究区NDVI变化的时空分异特征,对遥感研究和生产实践有重要意义.一方面,在进行陆地生态系统变化监测时,不能用少数几次的监测结果预测变化趋势,这对"高空间分辨率-低时间分辨率"遥感数据应用有重要意义; 另一方面,NDVI波动的空间差异,要求在变化监测时把重点放在NDVI波动频繁的地区.     

岱海与太湖沉积物焦碳和烟炱最近200年历史对比研究

黑碳是不完全燃烧产生的一种难熔的含碳物质的连续统一体,由焦碳(char)和烟炱(soot)组成.岱海与太湖沉积物焦碳和烟炱浓度对比显示,两个湖泊焦碳浓度和通量变化受局地火事件影响,无明显的规律; 而烟炱具有相似的变化历史,主要反映在1970年代后期急剧升高,与中国工业化历史一致.烟炱粒径细小,具区域传输特点,可以通过沉积物指示大气烟炱.结合当前大气气溶胶烟炱浓度,恢复了岱海与太湖地区最近200年来的大气烟炱浓度.其变化趋势与200年来北半球温度对比显示,大气烟炱中的高浓度对应于高温,低浓度对应低温.这种历史关系进一步证实大气烟炱在全球增温中具有极其重要的作用.

海拉尔盆地基底晚古生代adakite的发现及其地质意义

海拉尔盆地的前中生代基底隶属中亚造山带东段的兴蒙造山带。 在盆地基底地层中发现了具有adakite成分特征的粗面安山岩、英安岩和闪长玢岩。 这些火成岩与晚古生代沉积地层交互或伴生, 共同构成晚中生代裂陷盆地的基底。 地球化学研究表明, 这些火成岩基本上属于高钾钙碱性和准铝质岩石系列, 具有高SiO₂和Al₂O₃含量, 高Sr、Sr/Y和La/Yb值, 富集轻稀土(LREE), 亏损重稀土(HREE)、Y和高场强元素(HFSE),Eu表现弱的负异常或轻微的正异常, 相容元素Mg、Cr和Ni含量低, 这些特征与增厚下地壳部分熔融成因的adakite非常相似, 而明显不同于典型的由俯冲洋壳熔融形成的adakite。 样品的(⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i值基本一致,为0.7041, (¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd)_i值为0.51243~0.51247, ε_Nd (t)为正值(+3.7~+4.5), 显示其岩浆源区可能源于弱亏损地幔, 或亏损地幔受到地壳物质混染。 本文认为海拉尔地区晚古生代adakite型岩浆很可能是由当时新底侵的玄武质下地壳在角闪岩相向榴辉岩相过度或榴辉岩相条件下部分熔融形成。 这些adakite岩石的出现反映了兴蒙造山带晚古生代受到了古亚洲洋的俯冲消减引起的强烈的地幔玄武质岩浆底侵作用, 并由此导致地壳垂向上显著的增生加厚过程。     

真空预压联合电渗加固高塑性软土的试验研究

为处理常规排水固结法难以处理的高塑性软土,进行了真空预压联合电渗加固的大比尺室内模型试验研究。试验首先对塑性指数为26～29的高塑性软土进行真空预压的加固,待固结度达到80%后启动电渗进行加固。试验中对电流、电势和表层沉降等进行了全面的监测。试验结果表明电极反转、间歇通电技术有利于提高电能的利用率。土体强度由加固前的0～7.1kPa增长到加固后的18.2～26.2kPa。后期电渗对强度增长的贡献十分明显。     

吉林浑江煤田构造分区分带特征及赋煤规律

运用煤田构造与控煤构造研究方法,从浑江煤田地质构造展布的平面差异性分析入手,揭示了本区地质构造展布的分区、分带特征,指出南北方向上分为三带,东西向分为两区,不同的区带内赋煤规律有显著差异。受到SE—NW向的挤压,浑江地区发育SW—NE向的断裂及褶皱,成为控制煤系赋存形态的主要因素。浑江煤田西区因中生代以来构造活动较强烈,断裂较发育,对煤系的后期改造破坏较强烈;而东部煤系赋存于向斜构造内,受断裂破坏较小,但保存面积少于西部。     

High-resolution simulation of upper-ocean submesoscale variability in the South China Sea: Spatial and seasonal dynamical regimes

Submesoscale processes in marginal seas usually have complex generating mechanisms, highly dependent on the local background flow and forcing. This numerical study investigates the spatial and seasonal differences of submesoscale activities in the upper ocean of the South China Sea (SCS) and the different dynamical regimes for sub-regions. The spatial and seasonal variations of vertical vorticity, horizontal convergence, lateral buoyancy gradient, and strain rate are analyzed to compare the submesoscale phenomenon within four sub-regions, the northern region near the Luzon Strait (R1), the middle ocean basin (R2), the western SCS (R3), and the southern SCS (R4). The results suggest that the SCS submesoscale processes are highly heterogeneous in space, with different seasonalities in each sub-region. The submesoscale activities in the northern sub-regions (R1, R2) are active in winter but weak in summer, while there appears an almost seasonal anti-phase in the western region (R3) compared to R1 and R2. Interestingly, no clear seasonality of submesoscale features is shown in the southern region (R4). Further analysis of Ertel potential vorticity reveals different generating mechanisms of submesoscale processes in different sub-regions. Correlation analyses also show the vertical extent of vertical velocity and the role of monsoon in generating submesoscale activities in the upper ocean of sub-regions. All these results suggest that the sub-regions have different regimes for submesoscale processes, e.g., Kuroshio intrusion (R1), monsoon modulation (R2), frontal effects (R3), topography wakes (R4).
