2008年初中国南方低温雨雪冰冻事件的等熵位涡分析

利用等熵位涡理论对2008年初发生在我国南方的低温雨雪冰冻事件进行了诊断分析,结果表明,这次低温雨雪冰冻天气事件第一阶段的强冷空气主要来自新地岛以东洋面的平流层下部和对流层上部,从第二到第四阶段除了新地岛以东洋面外,还有来自北欧和拉普帖夫海、地中海的高位涡强冷空气补充。伴随着高层高位涡向南传播,高位涡气块在垂直方向强烈向下伸展、对流层顶动力异常,引起高位涡区气块旋转加强、正涡度增加及其前方低层正涡度的产生,而其后方,因绕高位涡中心气流沿等熵面下沉,地面高压迅速发展,低位涡气块则相反。过程期间,由于巴尔喀什湖高位涡中心和地中海高位涡主体(低涡)的存在和维持,孟加拉湾上空正相对涡度输送频繁,使得南支槽不断生消;而乌拉尔山低位涡带(高脊)和贝加尔湖高位涡中心(低涡)由于低、高位涡空气的不断注入,发生一次次的替换和发展,在引导冷空气持续南下与孟加拉湾北上的暖湿气流长时间在我国华南上空汇合的同时,还导致地面西伯利亚高压反复增强并分裂小高压数次南下,地面强冷空气不断补充,最终造成华南低温雨雪冰冻天气的长时间持续。     

Controlling factors of the δ 11B-pH proxy and its research direction

Significant boron isotope fractionation occurs in nature (?70 ‰ to +75 ‰) due to the high geochemical reactivity of boron and the large relative mass difference between ¹⁰B and ¹¹B. Since the 1990s, reconstruction of ancient seawater pH using the isotopic composition of boron in bio-carbonates (δ ¹¹B_carb), and then calculation of the past pCO₂ have become important issues for the international isotope geochemistry community, and are called the δ ¹¹B-pH proxy. Although many achievements have been made by this proxy, various aspects of boron systematics require rigorous evaluation. Based on the previous researches, mechanism of boron isotope fractionation, variation of boron isotope (δ ¹¹B) in nature (especially in bio-carbonates) and controlling factors of the δ ¹¹B-pH proxy, such as the dissociation constant of B(OH)₃ in seawater (pK_a), the δ ¹¹B of seawater (δ ¹¹B_SW), the boron isotopic fractionation factor between B(OH) ₄ ^? and B(OH)₃ (α _4–3), and the incorporated species of boron into bio-carbonates, are reviewed in detail and the research directions of this proxy are proposed. Generally, the controversy about pK_a, δ ¹¹B_sw, and α _4–3 is relatively less, but whether boron incorporated into bio-carbonates only in the form of B(OH) ₄ ^? remains doubtful. In the future, it is required that the physicochemical processes that control boron incorporation into carbonates be rigorously characterized and that the related chemical and isotopic fractionation be quantified. It is also necessary and important to establish a “best-fit empirically equation” between δ ¹¹B_carb and pH of seawater based on the precipitation experiments of inorganic or culture experiments of corals or foraminifera. In addition, extended application of the δ ¹¹B-pH proxy to the earlier part of the Phanerozoic relying on the Brachiopods is worthy of studying. Like other geochemical indicators, there are limiting factors of δ ¹¹B; however, it remains a very powerful tool in the reconstruction of past seawater pH at present.     

Very Large Eddy Simulation of Cavitation from Inception to Sheet/Cloud Regimes by A Multiscale Model

The cavitating flow in different regimes has the intricate flow structure with multiple time and space scales. The present work develops a multiscale model by coupling the volume of fluid(VOF) method and a discrete bubble model(DBM), to simulate the cavitating flow in a convergent-divergent test section. The Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model is used to calculate the mass transfer rate to obtain the macroscale phase structure, and the simplified Rayleigh-Plesset equation is applied to simulate the growing and collapsing of discrete bubbles. An algorithm for bridging between the macroscale cavities and microscale bubbles is also developed to achieve the multiscale simulation. For the flow field, the very large eddy simulation(VLES) approach is applied. Conditions from inception to sheet/cloud cavitation regimes are taken into account and simulations are conducted. Compared with the experimental observations, it is shown that the cavitation inception, bubble clouds formation and glass cavity generation are all well represented, indicating that the proposed VOF-DBM model is a promising approach to accurately and comprehensively reveal the multiscale phase field induced by cavitation.     

太湖叶绿素a同化系统敏感性分析

太湖叶绿素a同化系统对于不同参数的敏感性将直接影响到该系统能否精确的估算太湖叶绿素a的浓度分布.利用2009年4月21日环境一号卫星(HJ-1B CCD2)影像数据反演太湖叶绿素a浓度场信息.以此作为背景场信息,结合基于集合均方根滤波的太湖叶绿素a同化系统,分析和评价了样本数目、同化时长、背景场误差、观测误差和模型误差对于同化系统性能的影响.结果表明:从计算成本、系统运行时间和同化效果等方面分析,当集合样本数目达到30~40左右时同化系统取得了较好的结果;同化系统对于背景场误差的估计变化不是很敏感,即初始场的估计是否准确对于同化系统的性能影响不是很大;同化系统对于模型误差和观测误差的变化较为敏感,不同的测试点位由于水体动力学性质不一,其敏感性的表现形式有所差异;利用数据同化方法可以有效地估算太湖叶绿素a浓度.     

Possible Sources of Forecast Errors Generated by the Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Landfalling Tropical Cyclones. Part Ⅱ: Model Uncertainty

This paper investigates the possible sources of errors associated with tropical cyclone (TC) tracks forecasted using the Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System (GRAPES). In Part I, it is shown that the model error of GRAPES may be the main cause of poor forecasts of landfalling TCs. Thus, a further examination of the model error is the focus of Part II. Considering model error as a type of forcing, the model error can be represented by the combination of good forecasts and bad forecasts. Results show that there are systematic model errors. The model error of the geopotential height component has periodic features, with a period of 24 h and a global pattern of wavenumber 2 from west to east located between 60°S and 60°N. This periodic model error presents similar features as the atmospheric semidiurnal tide, which reflect signals from tropical diabatic heating, indicating that the parameter errors related to the tropical diabatic heating may be the source of the periodic model error. The above model errors are subtracted from the forecast equation and a series of new forecasts are made. The average forecasting capability using the rectified model is improved compared to simply improving the initial conditions of the original GRAPES model. This confirms the strong impact of the periodic model error on landfalling TC track forecasts. Besides, if the model error used to rectify the model is obtained from an examination of additional TCs, the forecasting capabilities of the corresponding rectified model will be improved.

用DSS资料研究首都圈地区的地壳结构

利用几种不同的一维反演方法对天津-北京-赤城剖面的DSS（deep seismic sounding）数据进行了处理．结果显示：沿剖面基底面北浅南深,但C界面和M界面北深南浅,存在镜像关系：地壳平均速度华北盆地较低,燕山下方较高;燕山隆起和华北盆地的交界处曾多次发生过5．0级以上地震。且在该过渡带上,多条深大断裂成北北东、北东向穿过该剖面,推断首都圈地区地震的发生与莫霍面的局部隆起、速度结构的急剧变化以及深大断裂的存在具有密切关系。
