Estimate of the chlorophyll contents in Yuqiao Reservoir from remote sensing

Complex correlation analysis of remotely sensed multi-spectral images of large scale and series of measurements taken simultaneously on the ground, together with closer attention to the optical characteristics of chlorophyll, yielded quantitative estimates of the chlorophyll distribution, a principal index of nutrient in Yuqiao Reservoir. This is one of the approaches to monitoring nutrients in lakes.     

强余震“等待时间”判别方案预报效能的研究

通过系统清理１９９６年以来中国大陆７０个Ｍｓ≥５．５级地震序列的＂强余震＂Ｌｇ△ｔ－Ｌｇｔ关系，对强余＂等待时间＂判别方案预报效能进行了评估。结果表明，其回顾性预报的Ｗａｌｌｅｎ评分为：６级以上地震序列Ｖ＝０．６０，５．５级以上地震序列为０．４４，说明其在地震序列类型判断方面有一定的效能。对实际震例分析得出，该方案在判定主余型序列方面成功率较高，而对于双震或多震序列，有时会产生某些误判；对６级以上地震序列的预测成功率高一些，对低震级的序列判断应慎重。     

Cryptoendolithic lichen and cyanobacterial communities of the Ross Desert, Antarctica

Cryptoendolithic microbial communities in the Ross Desert (McMurdo Dry Valleys) are characterized on the basis of photosynthetic microorganisms and fungi. Two eukaryotic communities (the lichen-dominated and Hemichloris communities) and three cyanobacterial communities (the red Gloeocapsa, Hormathonema-Gloeocapsa, and Chroococcidiopsis communities) are described. Eleven coccoid, one pleurocapsoid, and five filamentous cyanobacteria occurring in these communities are characterized and illustrated. The moisture grade of the rock substrate seems to affect pH, formation of primary iron stain, and the distribution of microbial communities.     

北京地区局地环流观测分析

应用2008—2015年逐时自动气象站观测资料,分析了北京地区局地风场的分布特点及季节性变化。结果表明:(1)北京地区局地风场受山谷风和城市热岛环流的共同影响,风速主要沿地形梯度分布。西部、北部高海拔山地风速较大,平原地带风速相对较小。平均而言,东西方向的局地风强度约为0.16m·s~(-1),南北方向的局地风强度约为0.07m·s~(-1)。(2)局地风速在季节分布上以夏季为最大,冬季为最小。其日变化为双峰型结构,于每日09及16时左右达到峰值区。(3)局地风速的u、v分量在正(负)距平的维持时长、日振幅值上存在较明显的差异。低层风场在午后到前半夜以东南风为主,后半夜开始到正午前则以西北风为主。     

基于多尺度混合滤波的GRAPES_3Dvar及其在实际暴雨预报中的应用分析

为提高暴雨的数值模拟和预报效果,在生成初值的同化分析中保证中小尺度信息的引入十分重要。为改善GRAPES(Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System)区域三维变分同化系统对中小尺度信息的引入,本文利用气候态背景误差样本估计变量误差的水平协相关尺度,进而利用三个不同水平特征尺度的递归滤波器对统计结果予以拟合,以替代原有单一尺度的递归滤波方案。利用新方案对2015年6月1—2日江汉平原的暴雨过程进行同化和预报,研究结果表明:新方案的功率谱衰减较慢,通过单点试验和分析场分析发现,新同化方案引入了更多的α中尺度信息;在暴雨个例的预报中发现,利用新同化方案后湿度场、散度场和涡度场在分析场和预报场中更加接近实际情况,降水预报技巧明显提高。通过能量谱分析发现,新方案与原方案相比反映出更多的α中尺度信息;新方案对江汉平原地区暴雨预报具有正效果,在α中尺度内出现了低层辐合、高层辐散及湿度增加等有利于降水的要素。在暴雨个例的基础上,本文进行16d的批量试验,结果显示新方案对降水的预报技巧明显提高,与个例结果一致。     

打工文学中的城市空间书写 ——基于索亚“第三空间”的分析

改革开放以来,在国家与资本的双重作用下,流动于农村与城市的打工一族开始出现。打工文学作为打工者发声的平台,不仅反映了打工者观照城市的方式,也体现出城市中不同主体对打工者的规训。文章以打工文学为分析内容与工具,以索亚的“第三空间”为分析理论,从身体、厂区、城市三种空间层次出发,探讨了外来工在城市生活中的空间体验。研究发现,外来工的生活空间充满了“第三空间”的特征,是一个被资本与权力的话语操控的空间,体现为外来工“我者-他者”“压迫-抵抗”“核心-边缘”的多元体验。这一城市空间体验也促进了打工者群体主体性的建构。     

Characterization of landscape pattern based on land economic niche change: A case study in Ganzhou,Gansu Province,China

Land use change has a profound impact on biodiversity and ecological processes, and is closely related to changes in landscape patterns. This paper introduces the theory and method of land economic niche into landscape ecology, which provides a new method for spatial characterization of urban and rural spatial landscape patterns. Based on this theory, this paper analyzes the landscape pattern of Ganzhou District by using Landsat images as data source in 1995, 2000, 2005,2010 and 2015. We calculated the land economic niche by applying the niche potential theory. Combined with the theory of landscape ecology, we explored the effects of the land economic niche change on the landscape pattern at a county scale.The results show that economic niche of construction land, watershed and farmland increased during 1995–2015, and grassland declined significantly. The economic niche of farmland, construction land, watershed and grassland show a negative correlation with the number of patches(NP), fragmentation index(FN) and the fractal dimension index(FD), and had a positive correlation with the aggregation index(AI). There was no significant correlation between the forest land economic niche and landscape metrics. The change of land economic niche has a driving effect on the landscape pattern of the county, which can represent the economic development direction of Ganzhou District. The land economic niche is closely related to the landscape type which can directly obtain an economic benefit.     

Characteristics of nonpoint source pollution load from crop farming in the context of livelihood diversification

Based on objective data collected from interviews in typical villages of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, the present study devised three livelihood scenarios related to rural transformation development: agriculturally dominant livelihood, multiple-type livelihood and non-agriculturally dominant livelihood. Moreover, the present study reports the trend characteristics of nonpoint source pollution load of crop farming in relation to the transformation of dominant livelihood types, and discussed the primary factors which affect livelihood type transformations. Results indicated the following: (1) The current farmland pattern shows a trend of diversification as self-cultivation, cropland transfer and fallow in the sample region. Dynamic characteristics of cultivated land present a special feature that is more “transfer-into” than “transfer-out”. Various scales of planting are represented among the various households, according to the following decreasing order: half-labor household > non-labor household > adequate labor household. (2) The highest pollution loading produced by crop farming occurs in half-labor households while the lowest occurs in non-labor households. With increasing labor, the pollution load per unit area tends to first increase and then decrease within families with enough labor. (3) As the type of livelihood transitions from agriculturally dominant to non-agriculturally dominant, the maximum reduction of total pollution loading produced by the agricultural industry can reach 72.01%. Compared to agriculturally dominant livelihoods, multiple-type livelihoods produce a pollution load reduction yield of 19.61%–29.85%, and non-agriculturally dominant livelihoods reduce the pollution load yield by 35.20%–72.01%. However, the rate of reduction of total nitrogen is not the same as total phosphorus. (4) The non-agricultural characteristics of labor allocation and income promote the transformation from dominant livelihood types to non-agricultural livelihoods, while potential revenue conversion follows a similar trend. In addition, different household types do not display identical conversion rates, according to the following decreasing order: enough labor household > half-labor household > non-labor household. (5) During rapid urbanization and the building of new industrial systems, the livelihood types of rural households have been further transformed to off-farm household types in the mountainous region; this process will lead to the further reduction of pollution load generated by planting and agriculture. Hence, significant decreases in the planting pollution load necessitate the development of control measures to enhance transformations from agricultural to off-farm livelihoods.
