Measurements of physical characteristics of summer snow cover on sea ice during the Third Chinese Arctic Expedition

The spatial distribution of snow cover on the central Arctic sea ice is investigated here based on the observations made during the Third Chinese Arctic Expedition. Six types of snow were observed during the expedition: new/recent snow, melt-freeze crust, icy layer, depth hoar, coarse-grained, and chains of depth hoar. Across most measurement areas, the snow surface was covered by a melt-freeze crust 2-3 cm thick, which was produced by alternate strong solar radiation and the sharp temperature decrease over the summer Arctic Ocean. There was an intermittent layer of snow and ice at the base of the snow pack. The mean bulk density of the snow was 304.01±29.00 kg/m3 along the expedition line, and the surface values were generally smaller than those of the subsurface, confirming the principle of snow densification. In addition, the thicknesses and water equivalents of the new/recent and total-layer snow showed a decreasing trend with latitude, suggesting that the amount of snow cover and its spatial variations were mainly determined by precipitation. Snow temperature also presented significant variations in the vertical profile, and ablation and evaporation were not the primary factors in the snow assessment in late summer. The mean temperature of the surface snow was 2.01±0.96°C, which was much higher than that observed in theinterface of snow and sea ice.     

Simulation and control of the linked systems of water quantity–water quality–socio-economics in the Huaihe River basin

Abstract

This work makes explicit an algebraic expression giving the matrix of transient influence coefficients associated with a one-dimensional semi-confined aquifer model. The domain studied is divided into a series of connected and completely mixed compartments over which the governing equation is discretized. The discrete equations obtained are solved for the compartmental hydraulic head and used to derive the algebraic expression in question. The basic properties of the so-called algebraic influence coefficients are investigated. In particular, their consistency with the exact Green function is highlighted. Finally, the newly derived influence coefficients are applied to a simplified aquifer system in order to formulate and solve the problem of identifying illegal groundwater pumping.

Five new E′ centers and their 29Si hyperfine structures in electron-irradiated α-quartz

Single-crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of fast-electron-irradiated quartz, after annealing at 120 and 200°C, reveal five new E′ type centers, herein labeled E ₅^￠ , E ₆^￠ , E ₇^￠ , E ₈^￠ , \textand E ₉^￠ E_{ 5}^{\prime } ,\,E_{ 6}^{\prime } ,\,E_{ 7}^{\prime } ,\,E_{ 8}^{\prime } ,\,{\text{and}}\,E_{ 9}^{\prime } . Centers E ₅^￠ , E ₇^￠ , \textand E ₉^￠ E_{ 5}^{\prime } ,\,E_{ 7}^{\prime } ,\,{\text{and}}\,E_{ 9}^{\prime } are characterized by the orientations of the unique principal g and A(²⁹Si) axes close to a short Si–O bond direction, hence representing new variants of the well-established E ₁^￠ E_{ 1}^{\prime } center. Centers E ₆^￠ E_{ 6}^{\prime } and E ₈^￠ E_{ 8}^{\prime } have the orientations of the unique principal g and A(²⁹Si) axes approximately along a long Si–O bond direction, similar to the E ₂^￠ E_{ 2}^{\prime } centers. Therefore, these new E′ type centers apparently arise from the removal of different oxygen atoms and represent variable local distortions around the oxygen vacancies.     

Correlations between 11B NMR parameters and structural characters in borate and borosilicate minerals investigated by high-resolution MAS NMR and ab initio calculations

Borates consisting of diverse fundamental building blocks (FBB) formed from complex polymerization of planar triangular [Bϕ₃] groups and tetrahedral [Bϕ₄] groups, where ϕ = O and OH, provide an excellent opportunity for investigation of correlations between the NMR parameters and local structures. However, previous studies suggested that the ¹¹B NMR parameters in borates are insensitive to local structural environments other than the B coordination number, in contrast to those documented for ²⁹Si, ²³Na and ²⁷Al in silicates, and no correlation between ¹¹B chemical shifts and the sum of bond valences has been established for borate minerals with hydroxyl groups or molecular water in the structures. In this study, high-resolution NMR spectra have been acquired at the ultra high field of 21 T as well as at 14 T for selected borate and borosilicate minerals, and have been used to extract high-precision NMR parameters by using combined ab initio theoretical calculations and spectral simulations. These new NMR parameters reveal subtle correlations with various structural characters, especially the effects of the ¹¹B chemical shifts from the bridging oxygen atom(s), site symmetry, symmetry of FBB, the sum of bond valences, as well as the next-nearest-neighbor cations and hydrogen bonding. Also, these results provide new insights into the shielding mechanism for ¹¹B in borate and borosilicate minerals. In particular, this study demonstrates that the small variation in ¹¹B chemical shifts can still be used to probe the local structural environments and that the established correlations can be used to investigate the structural details in borates and amorphous materials.

Hydrogeochemical and isotopic study of groundwater in the Habor Lake Basin of the Ordos Plateau,NW China

Hydrogeochemistry and isotopes were used to understand the origin and geochemical evolution in the Habor Lake Basin, northwestern China. Groundwater samples were taken, and the isotopic compositions δD, δ¹⁸O and major ions were analyzed. The groundwater can be divided into three types: the Quaternary groundwater, the shallow Cretaceous groundwater and the deep Cretaceous groundwater. The groundwater chemistry is mainly controlled by the feldspar weathering and dolomite weathering, the dissolution of Glauber’s salt, and cation exchange. Chemistry of lake water is mainly controlled by evaporation and precipitation. The stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in groundwater cluster along the local meteoric water line, indicating that groundwater is of meteoric origin. Comparing with shallow groundwater, deep groundwater is depleted in heavy isotopes indicating that deep groundwater was recharged during late Pleistocene and Holocene, during which the climate was more wetter and colder than today.
