用美国地质调查所车载氦探测器勘查铀矿的新发展

美国地质调查所研究成了一种测量He含量的车载质谱仪。该仪器在已知铀矿区作了试验,并在土壤气和水中都发现了He异常。气体样品收集在注射器式取样器里,然后注入到质谱仪中作He分析。仪器以10ppb的灵敏度每天可做100多次分析。在科罗拉多州维尔德郡所进行的详细研究表明,根据土壤气体的He值所编绘的等值线图,能圈定出异常区,同时异常相对矿体沿地下水的下流方向有所偏移。其它研究包括如下地点:科罗拉多州杰弗逊郡舒瓷兹瓦尔德铀山矿,那里He异常可能与地质构造有关;新墨西哥州安布罗西亚湖附近的地区,那里He异常位置与地下水运动有关;周日效应试验结果表明,He的变化甚微,可能与土壤湿度有关。     

上空有云流流出的台风的强度变化

一、导言 Erickson 和 Winston,(1972)第一次从气象卫星云图上观测到从西北太平洋的一个命名热带气旋(以下不管其强度,一概称为台风)的中心偶尔有范围很大的一股含有中云和高云的云流向东北方流出。作者们指出,这种云流是由大量的热带的热量和水汽输送到西风带里去造成的。Ramage(1974)研究了中国南海1970年10月的3个台风,得到的结论是:高空云流外流是由于在对流层上层有西风槽逼近而在槽前又有热通量的辐散所引起的。他还发现,在槽线以东的涡度平流会增强台风上空的质量辐散,而在云流形成时,风速也随之加大。他的这个发现与Riehl(1972)的结论是一致的,     

太古宙深变质区中水平的简单剪切构造

当晚期变形作用的结果被消除时,太古宙高级变质片麻岩—混合岩型地区,包括以近水平叶理和伏褶皱为主的广大地区。这种构造类型的例子在北大西洋太古宙克拉通地区以及经下元古代改造作用的各邻接区是常见的。在苏格兰西北部的Badcallian(早Scourian)、西格陵兰的戈德萨普克拉通、拉布拉多东部的太古宙片麻杂岩和西格陵兰北部的Rinkian,也有这方面的好例子。其它太古宙地区显示了类似的结果。     

加勒比海的一次非加深扰动的诊断研究(节译)

2、天气形势a、天气和云的分布文章中扰动例子是发生在1966年7月5日小安的列斯群岛的东南方。它开始增强向西北方向移到加勒比海,在那里五天内完全消失。选择7月6日和7日来研究,因为在这个时期里,扰动曾达到它最大强度,     

西澳大利亚较老的前寒武纪地质年代学

在西澳大利亚,太古宙这个名词一般应用在早于2400Ma的岩层,这与最近由前寒武地层分会提出的2500Ma界线是有一定偏差的(James,《前寒武纪研究》,7,193—204页:1978)。无论应用那个标准,西澳大利亚地盾的二个最老部分—皮尔巴拉(Pilbara)和伊尔冈地块—在太古宙期间就已清楚确立。上述两个地块均以典型的绿岩—花岗岩类为主所组成,其中许多花岗岩类深成岩由含高比例火山岩同时形成的绿岩带所包     

蒙塔那州博耳德地区岩基中的铀矿化

本文介绍了花岗岩类(石英二长岩及花岗闪长岩)岩基型侵入体中矽化带型热液铀矿床的岩体、区域构造、伴生有色金属矿床、铀矿床本身及成矿年代。铀矿化和灰色及黑色微粒石英脉或玉髓脉的关系密切。铀矿化晚于锌铅矿化。铀矿化年代为6000万年。其后有英安岩的侵入。

Use of Surface Observations to Estimate Upper Air Humidity for the Objective Analysis of Relative Humidity over Indian Region

In the present study objective analyses of relative humidity (RH) at surface and at the levels of 850,700 and 500 hPa have been made using Gandin’s (1963) optimum interpolation scheme. As the horizontal resolution of the radiosonde stations is rather inadequate for upper air humidity analysis, a scheme has been developed, following Rasmussen (1982) to estimate the upper air RH from the surface observations like surface RH, present weather and cloud cover. The relative humidities at the levels 850, 700 and 500 hPa were related to the surface observations through three separate regression relations. The RH values at 850, 700 and 500 hPa levels were estimated from the surface RH, cloud coverage and present weather using the above regression relations and subsequently the objective analyses at 00 GMT for the period from 4 July to 8 July 1979, were made using these estimated data along with the observed radiosonde data. Objective analyses were also made for the same period using only the radiosonde data for comparison to study the impact of those estimated data. Root mean square errors were computed for all the five days by interpolating RH at the observing stations from the objectively analysed field and comparing them with the actually observed RH to examine how best the analyses (with and without estimated data) fitted the observations. Lastly they were compared with satellite cloud pictures. This study shows that the estimated upper air RH values have positive impact on the analysis of upper air RH and could be used over radiosonde date sparse region and even over oceanic regions.     

Substrate selection and seasonal variation in abundance and size composition of isopod Lirceus fontinalis in Ontario streams, Canada

The abundance and size composition of stream isopods Lirceus fontinalis were investigated from April 2001 to August 2002 in 3 streams in southern Ontario, Canada. Effects of current speed was released from the analysis by choosing slow flowing water. The effects of substrate, season and water depth on the abundance, distribution and size composition of the isopods were analyzed. It was found that substrate and season influence isopods the most. The rocky substrate with attached filamentous macro-algae contains an isopod abundance 7.05 times that of bare rock substrate and 14.6 times that of fine-sand and mud substrate. There was a large variation with respect to seasonality in both abundance and size composition of the isopods, with the highest abundance occurring in summer and the lowest in winter and spring; individual isopods also tend to be larger in the winter and spring. In all substrates, shallow areas tend to support higher densities of isopods than deeper areas.
