Primary Deformation Analyses of High Pressure Metamorphic Rock in Western Dabie Mountain Area

In the western Dabie Mountain area, the eclogites have similar compositions and tectonic environment, which could be contrastively researched. Except for the reservation of the early structural deformation inside and outside of the eclogite lens, there is no obvious difference between the characteristics of the foliation and lineation in the eclogite lens from the one in surroumding region. So this paper concludes that the eclogites or blueschists (high pressure metamorphic rocks, i. e. HPM) are basically situated in the original position. The eclogites are mostly superposed by the ductile shear zone and show the feature of structural displacement, but so far we have not discovered any large-scale structural zone to uplift eclogite return. Based on the analyses of finite strain measure, petrofabric analysis and TEM image for some minerals such as quartz and garnet, we could efficiently know the deforming characteristics of the eclogite in the prophase and anaphase of the main deforming epoch, and finally determine the forming condition of eclogite according to the strain and the differential stress. This paper puts forward preliminary conclusion that some HPM rocks could be formed by the deep-layer embedding and local stress concentration in the process of regional metamorphism.     

2004年12月26日苏门答腊—安达曼特大地震

发生在2004年12月26日（Mw=9．1～9．3级）和2005年3月28日（Mw=8．6级）的地震是过去40年中最大的两次地震，它们在欧亚大陆板块的东南部和印度-澳大利亚板块之间裂开一条长达1600km的断层。其中第一次地震引发的海啸吞噬了28．3万多人的性命。苏门答腊岛班达亚奇附近的断层滑动了15m，但是在其北边，沿着尼科巴群岛和安达曼群岛，断层快速滑动的距离则小了很多。海啸和测地学的观测表明，在50min或更长的时间范围内北部的断层发生了更多的缓慢滑动。     

The anomalous variation of the lightning activity in southern China during the 1997/98 El Nio event

The El Ni?o Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a cli- mate anomaly responsible for worldwide weather im- pacts ranging from droughts to floods. It is of scien- tific importance to clarify the influences of the 1997/98 El Ni?o event (for simplicity, named the ENSO) on the regional and global lightning activity. Goodman et al.[1] noticed that during the El Ni?o ma- ture phase from December 1997 to February 1998, the total lightning frequencies recorded by LIS, lightning days and lightning ho…     

Regional and synoptic-scale features associated with inactive periods of the summer monsoon over south china(1)

This paper presents an observational study of the physical processes responsible for the inactive period (break) of the summer monsoon over South China (SC). The break of the monsoon is defined by using the rainfall data over Hong Kong Meteorological parameters provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) for the period 1985-1990 are examined. Daily values of each parameter for the six years are then composited each day for the period of 5 days before to 1 day after the break. It is found that several days before the break, changes opposite to those occurred during the onset and active periods begin to take place. This suggests that a feedback mechanism is present which tends to restore the atmosphere to a more stable state. This mechanism may be initiated by the formation of convective clouds during the onset and active periods. These clouds then reduce the solar radiation to the ground, leading to a gradual drop in the temperature. This drop, together with the cooling of the atmosphere due to the large amounts of rainfall, causes the pressure over the SC region to become higher, which in turn induces a westward extension of the subtropical ridge. The decrease in temperature over SC may also shift the location of the heat source to the west, which leads to a concomitant westward shift of the convergence of the southerlies and results in less moisture-laden air reaching the SC region. The atmosphere then becomes unfavourable for heavy convection and therefore a break starts.     

利用卡洪山口科学研究钻孔中应力引起的钻孔崩落估计最大水平主应力值

本文我们利用钻孔岩样的力学性质,详细观察应力引起的钻孔崩落和由水压致裂实验估计的最小水平主应力值S_(kmin),构成了卡洪山口(Cajon Pass)钻孔直至3.5km深的最大水平主应力。S_(Hmax)的垂直剖面。正如基本上与所有其它的钻孔一样,卡洪山口钻孔的水压致裂应力测量得到的,最小水平主应力S_(hmin)数据比最大水平主应力S_(Hmax)的数据多得多(并且更加可靠)。为利用观察的井壁崩落约束S_(Hmax)的值,使用了由有效应变能准则得出的脆性破裂准则。这个破裂准则也允许我们考虑钻孔周围的三向应力,并考虑孔隙流体压力以不同方式对岩石强度的影响。比较从崩落估计出的S_(Hmax)剖面和从水压致裂实验得出的S_(Hmax)的估计值表明:当孔隙压力对水压致裂破裂起始的影响可以忽略时,它们相当符合。在这个钻孔中,直至3.5km深的总体应力状态相当于倾滑兼走滑断层型应力状态。最大水平主应力剖面有几个应力值显著减小的地方,它们与主要的断层带有关,这个结果和由水压致裂得出的最小水平主应力S_(kmin)剖面一致。     

冰芯所记录的环境变化及空间耦合特征

近年来，我们先后在青藏高原的古里雅冰帽、唐古拉冰川和希夏邦马地区钻。取了大量冰芯。在这些冰芯中保存着大量的环境变化信息。特别是反映沙暴、尘暴和浮尘等环境事件的尘埃冰志记录，是目前我们所能得到的记录最详细、分辨率最高和最连续的资料系列。青藏高原冰芯中尘埃指标显示，在气候变冷时，青藏高原的尘暴、沙暴和浮尘等事件出现的频率增多，强度增大；在气候变暖时，则尘暴、沙暴和浮尘等事件的频率减少，强度减小。目前，在青藏高原面上，正经历着气候变暖、环境改善的过程。     

Energetics Constraint for Linear Disturbances Development

In development of baroclinic disturbances, baroclinity of basic temperature field varies with conversion of available potential energy. The growth rate which depends on the baroclinity varies as well. However, in previous linear theories, the growth rate was considered constant, so development of disturbances was not constrained by energy sources in the linear theories. In terms of energy conservation and conversion in an isolated atmosphere, we may study the variations in the baroclinity and growth rate and draw the corresponding pictures of perturbation developments in the varying environments. The amplification for the most unstable Eady wave is discussed as an example. It will be found that growth of baroclinic perturbations constrained by energy conservation is significantly different from the growth at the initial constant rate after mature stage.
