Evaluation of methods of spatial interpolation for monthly rainfall data over the state of Rio de Janeiro,Brazil

Five deterministic methods of spatial interpolation of monthly rainfall were compared over the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeast Brazil. The methods were the inverse distance weight (IDW), nearest neighbor (NRN), triangulation with linear interpolation (TLI), natural neighbor (NN), and spline tension (SPT). A set of 110 weather stations was used to test the methods. The selection of stations had two criteria: time series longer than 20 years and period of data from 1960 to 2009. The methods were evaluated using cross-validation, linear regression between values observed and interpolated, root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (r ²), coefficient of variation (CV, %), and the Willmott index of agreement (d). The results from different methods are influenced by the meteorological systems and their seasonality, as well as by the interaction with the topography. The methods presented higher precision (r ²) and accuracy (d, RMSE) during the summer and transition to autumn, in comparison with the winter or spring months. The SPT had the highest precision and accuracy in relation to other methods, in addition to having a good representation of the spatial patterns expected for rainfall over the complex terrain of the state and its high spatial variability.     

一个海气耦合模式对东亚夏季气候预测潜力的评估

利用一个具有较高分辨率的海气耦合模式SINTEX-F(Scale Interaction Experiment-Frontier Research Center for Global Change coupled GCM)的多年回报结果,评估了该海气耦合模式对东亚区域,尤其是中国地区气候异常的预测潜力.与观测实况的比较结果表明:SINTEX-F模式对夏季降水、500 hPa高度场和地表气温都有一定的预测技巧,但是相比而言降水与高度场的回报技巧要高于地表气温;而且耦合模式对东亚地区气候异常的主要空间分布和年际变化特征也有较好的预测潜力,对500 hPa高度场效果较好;对降水异常的年际变化也有一定的预测潜力,尤其是我国中部地区效果较好,但是模式预测的降水异常的幅值较观测相对偏弱;此外对我国西部的极端气候也有一定的预测潜力.     

基于BGM的暴雨集合预报初始扰动发展分析

基于增长模繁殖法（BGM）思想,采用AREM（新一代区域η坐标模式）,研究了暴雨过程中,初始随机扰动在繁殖循环中随时间的演变特征和发展机理。结果表明,初始扰动的演变决定于环流背景场的结构和大气中的湿物理过程。背景场不仅影响扰动的演变规律,而且决定了扰动发展的敏感区域。初始扰动随时间演变存在两个敏感区,一是背景场的大风速区,二是降水区附近。对流层高层,大风速区附近扰动得到最优发展;对流层中低层,扰动不仅沿大风速区发展,且与降水区配合较好。初始扰动发展的机理也有两种,一是大气湿物理过程引起的位势不稳定或第二类条件不稳定（CISK）;二是由风切变引起的大气动力不稳定。高层扰动的增长,以干大气的动力不稳定占优,中低层扰动的发展主要是湿物理过程的贡献,初始扰动在模式中的发展与降水的发展是同“源”的,有利于降水发展的环境也有利于初始扰动的发展,从而影响了降水的可预报性。所以利用暴雨预报模式制作集合预报时,BGM仍是可用的方法。     

Characterisation of Soot Emitted by Domestic Heating,Aircraft and Cars Using Diesel or Biodiesel

The characterisation of aggregates, like soot, firstly requires the determination of the size distribution of the primary particles. The primary particle size of combustion generated aggregates depends upon the combustion environment and the formation conditions, such as temperature, pressure and fuel-to-air ratio, among others. Since the combustion characteristics are different in the different types of burners, the characterisation of primary particles may offer the possibility to distinguish soot from different sources. In this paper, we present the signature of the primary particles and the aggregates of soot emitted by cars using diesel or biodiesel, by domestic heating, and by aircraft exhausts, which can be considered as the major sources as derived from measurements on transmission electron micrographs. The size distributions of all aggregates types with different aerodynamic diameter were log-normal and quasi-monodisperse. The size distribution of the primary particles for soot emitted by different sources showed minor differences. However, a comparison between the diameter of the primary particles and those obtained using a standard method for carbon black revealed discrepancies. The median diameter of the primary particles was combined with the median number of primary particles in an aggregate to calculate the relative particle surface area available for adsorption. In a similar way, the relative specific surface area was determined. The surface area was measured using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (B.E.T.) nitrogen adsorption method and the relative surface area available for adsorption was calculated.

老挝龙湖钾盐矿床沉积碳酸盐碳、氧同位素组成及其对成钾环境的初步指示

碳、氧同位素作为反映古沉积环境、成矿物源和水–岩反应等良好的稳定同位素指标,被广泛应用。通过对老挝龙湖钾盐矿区ZK309、ZK301、ZK311和ZK004四个钻孔农波组盐岩上覆泥岩碳、氧同位素组成的分析,讨论了盐岩上覆泥岩沉积的碳、氧同位素组成变化特征及其指示的沉积环境。经分析,所测碳、氧同位素基本代表了碳酸盐碳、氧同位素组成,初步推测这些碳酸盐均为当地自生,受后期改变很少,δ13C和δ18O平均值分别为-5.1‰和-4.6‰,其中δ13C值略高于一般陆相碳酸盐碳同位素最大值–5.69‰,δ18O值介于–2.71‰~–10.8‰之间,ZK309和ZK301钻孔碳、氧同位素相关系数均小于0.7,初步指示盐岩沉积之后沉积环境为陆相。δ13C值略高于–5.69‰,推测是后期盐岩层被淋滤,泥岩层受淋滤后的残余卤水影响的结果,这也解释了蒸发岩沉积层序异常(钾石盐覆盖于光卤石之上)的沉积特征。因此,在本研究中,大气水在泥岩碳、氧同位素的变化中扮演了重要角色。

塔里木盆地东北部新元古代花岗质岩浆活动及地质意义

库车坳陷东部侵入于元古宇基底变质岩中的黑云母二长花岗岩属于高钾钙碱性岩系,岩石具有富硅(SiO2=75.77%～77.79%)、高碱(Na2O+K2O=6.90%～7.95%)、富钾(K2O/Na2O=1.21～1.98)、低TiO2(0.06%～0.13%,平均0.08%)和准铝质(铝饱和指数A/CNK=0.92～1.15,平均1.07)的特点.岩石明显富集Rb、Th、K、Nd、Hf、Zr、Tb、Y和Yb,亏损Ba、U、Nb、Ta、Sr、P、Sm、Ti等元素,具有明显的负Eu异常(δEu=0.06～0.11,平均0.10).地球化学特征表明该花岗岩起源于中-下地壳的部分熔融.对花岗岩进行的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素地质年代学研究,获得了646.5±3.9 Ma的206Pb/238U加权平均年龄,说明花岗岩形成于早震旦世,而不是以前认为的石炭纪.结合区域地质资料分析认为,这次岩浆事件是塔里木地块基底在Rodinia超大陆裂解过程中的产物.     

西北太平洋海区年际至十年际海面变化尺度耦合与波动转型

利用多通道奇异谱分析(MSSA)等多尺度分析方法,对西北太平洋海区14个站位验潮序列的年际到十年际尺度海面波动的时空特征进行探讨.结果表明:2.5a周期和4.5a周期在振幅与相位上表现出与ENSO指数波动的尺度耦合,并存在显著的由低纬向高纬的振幅、能量递减的纬向传递特征.4.5a周期和8a周期与PDO变化同样表现出一定的尺度耦合波动,高纬各站位海面波动也表现出一定的自东向西的径向传递.在空间维上,PDO作用下的传播型波动的响应范围明显小于ENSO事件,反映了二者驱动机制的差异.该海区约在1973年和1998年左右发生过两次明显的海面波动转型,并与太平洋年代际涛动(PDO)存在一定关联.     

川西理塘第四纪盆地沉积体系、演化及古气候分析

理塘第四纪盆地以河湖相沉积为主，其形成于747ka，消亡于179～180ka。盆地内不同地点的沉积物的时空分布，揭示出古湖泊演化属于一种不连续的扩展型，在其演化过程中存在着多次的消失或萎缩时期；盆地内孢粉组合表明，其形成于一种温热湿润的气候环境，当时的海拔高度在2000m左右，以后高原气候由热变温；冰川发育加剧了古无量河的溯源侵蚀作用，最终切穿盆地，致使湖水外泄，湖泊消亡。理塘盆地的演化历程为研究青藏高原的古气候变化提供了重要证据。
