Geophysical constraints on mesozoic disruption of North China Craton by underplating‐triggered lower‐crust flow of the Archaean lithosphere

The mechanism of the disruption, both lithospheric thinning and oceanization of the commonly accepted long‐term‐stable Archaean craton, is still an open question. The available models, all imply a bottom to top process. With the construction of a 1660‐km‐long transect across the eastern North China Craton (NCC), we demonstrate that both the P‐wave velocity and density in the lowermost crust beneath the central section are significantly higher than in the corresponding parts of the south and north sections on the transect. These features are interpreted as geophysical signature of lower crustal underplating, which supplies sufficiently high gravitational potential energy to trigger lateral flow of the lower crust. This magma underplating‐triggered bilateral lower crust flow may facilitate the lithospheric thinning by means of asthenosphere upwelling and decompression melting, which infill the gap produced by the lower crust flow. The underplating‐triggered lower crustal flow can provide an alternative mechanism to explain the NCC lithosphere disruption, which highlights the crustal feedback to Archaean lithosphere disruption, from top to bottom.     

广西柳桥深水相二叠系/三叠系界线剖面有机碳同位素地层学对比研究及事件响应

研究了广西柳桥地区东攀剖面有机碳同位素的组成,并和浙江煤山剖面进行了对比。结果表明东攀剖面在1δ3Corg变化趋势上,既具有全球PTB剖面普遍存在的共性,又具有其独特性。在东攀剖面一个显著的1δ3Corg负漂移出现在事件界线(EB)之上和二叠系/三叠系界线(PTB)之下,这与煤山剖面具有相似性。显著的1δ3Corg负漂移指示了P/T之交生物绝灭后海水表层水原始生产率的降低以及大气和海水中CO2含量的增加,并得到放射虫绝灭事件、火山事件和海退事件的响应。煤山剖面1δ3Corg负漂移从第27层就开始向13C富集的方向恢复,而东攀剖面1δ3Corg在下Induan阶仍持续亏损,表明东攀剖面早三叠世的生物复苏明显滞后于煤山剖面的。     

裂隙-管道介质泉流域水文地质模拟试验

为了深入认识岩溶泉流域的流量过程影响因素和作用机制,以西南岩溶泉流域水文地质概念模型为原型,建立了实验室尺度下的裂隙-管道介质物理模型和数值模型。选取补给雨强、泉口直径、落水洞与开采井的位置作为影响因子,模拟了泉流量过程。试验结果表明:单次降水试验可以观测得到泉流量增加、平稳波动和衰减共三个阶段;同一泉口直径条件下,补给强度对泉流量衰减系数的影响极小,直径为3,4,5,7 mm的泉口直径对应的衰减系数分别为0.003 6,0.006 7,0.011 5,0.012 9,泉口直径与衰减系数呈近似对数关系;落水洞汇流水量占泉流量的比例远大于裂隙;2~3 mm是微小裂隙与较大裂隙的过渡区域,两种类型的介质泉流量过程差异明显;开采井分别位于泉口附近、模型中间位置和落水洞时,泉流量衰减系数依次减小。     

苏北海岸带潮成辐射砂脊群的形成及其古地理意义

南黄海潮成辐射砂脊群的面积约为20000km2，以160° 的角度从弓京港向海展开。它与以弓京港为顶点的辐聚辐散潮流场相伴而生。60余个钻孔揭示，毗邻海区辐射砂脊体系的江苏沿岸平原上存在一个面积约3000 km2潮成砂区，其顶点位于东台，同样呈扇形以130°的角度向东展开。在潮成砂区内潮成砂质沉积单元位于冰后期海侵型砂坝-湖沉积层之上，二者之间具明显的冲刷面。砂坝-湖沉积层位于晚更新世基底硬粘土层之上，二者之间有较长的沉积间断。潮成砂沉积层上覆潮坪沉积层，二者呈渐变关系。以潮成砂层底部的侵蚀面为界，其下为海侵序列，其上为海退序列。古潮流的研究揭示，潮成砂区内同样存在辐聚辐散的古潮流场，其顶点位于东台附近。由此推断，沿海平原的潮成砂区内也是辐射状潮成砂脊体系，它形成于全新世海退时期。由于长江和黄河三角洲的前展，以东台为顶点的潮成砂脊体系逐渐暴露成陆。陆上和海域潮成辐射砂脊群形成于相同的潮汐动力环境，但处在不同的发育阶段，前者形成于全新世中期，后者发育于全新世晚期。矿物分析揭示，陆上和海区的潮成辐射砂脊体系主要由长江和黄河沉积物组成，其中长江沉积物由南向北运移，且时间较早；黄河沉积物由北向南运移，时间较迟，这种泥沙的运移趋势一直延续至今。随着海平面上升趋于减缓，长江三角洲增长，江苏海岸线向外推进，苏北潮成砂区逐渐出露成陆。1128年黄河由苏北入海，大量的黄河沉积物的加入，加快了本区海岸线的推进速度。潮成辐射砂脊体系与辐聚辐散的潮流场相伴而生，全新世最大海侵以来，辐聚辐散的潮流场的位置曾经历三次变化，第一次以长江古河口湾为顶点，第二次位于现今陆上潮成砂区，第三次位于以弓京港为顶点的现代海域，代表了潮成辐射砂脊体系发育的三个阶段。只是长江古河口湾的潮成辐射砂脊体系由于河流的巨大改造作用，可能未很好保存，至今未发现典型的辐射砂脊体系。

A nonstationary extreme value distribution for analysing the cessation of karst spring discharge

The effects of climate change and population growth in recent decades are leading us to consider their combined and potentially extreme consequences, particularly regarding hydrological processes, which can be modeled using a generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. Most of the GEV models were based on a stationary assumption for hydrological processes, in contrast to the nonstationary reality due to climate change and human activities. In this paper, we present the nonstationary generalized extreme value (NSGEV) distribution and use it to investigate the risk of Niangziguan Springs discharge decreasing to zero. Rather than assuming the location, scale, and shape parameters to be constant as one might do for a stationary GEV distribution analysis, the NSGEV approach can reflect the dynamic processes by defining the GEV parameters as functions of time. Because most of the GEV model is designed to evaluate maxima (e.g. flooding, represented by positive numbers), and spring discharge cessation is a ?minima’, we deduced an NSGEV model for minima by applying opposite numbers, i.e. negative instead of positive numbers. The results of the model application to Niangziguan Springs showed that the probability of zero discharge at Niangziguan Springs will be 1/80 in 2025, and 1/10 in 2030. After 2025, the rate of decrease in spring discharge will accelerate, and the probability that Niangziguan Springs will cease flowing will dramatically increase. The NSGEV model is a robust method for analysing karst spring discharge. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

内蒙古呼和浩特-包头地区地震目录的完整性分析

以内蒙古中部的呼和浩特-包头地区(40°～42°N,108°～114°E)作为研究区域,收集整理2001年1月1日至2010年4月30日ML≥1.0地震作为研究对象,按地震样本数目滑动扫描并计算最小完整性震级Mc,绘制Mc的时序变化曲线.分析认为Mc在时间上的变化主要反映台网监测能力和地震活动规律,但台站布局、地震信噪比和人为因素也会引起Mc的短期或不连续性的变化.同时在Rydelek等提出的2个假设条件下,对呼包地区的地震目录完整性进行了RS检验,其结果与上述扫描计算结果一致,也与根据台网监测能力所得到的震级范围吻合,证明本文的计算结果能够比较真实的反映2001年以来呼包地区地震目录在各时段内的完整性.     

一个缓慢移动的中尺度对流复合体内层状降水区的微结构分析

本文对一个中纬中尺度对流复合体层状降水区的微物理结构,结合雷达、卫星和其他飞机观测资料进行了分析.结果表明,MCC层状区内某些部位盛行冰晶聚合体,它们分布在相当厚的过冷气层内(0.5—-14℃或更冷).冰晶聚并过程足层状区内降水质点增长的主要机制.它起源于较高较冷的气层,在冰晶聚合体下降途中聚并效率渐趋增强,在0℃层附近形成一大的冰晶聚合带. 层状区中云滴液态含水量一般低于0.3g·m~(-3).0℃层以下降水质点数浓度较低,平均为0.8L~(-1)(2D-P资料)和2.3L~(-1)(2D-C资料),相应的平均体积中值直径分别为1.0和0.6mm.在0—-10c气层内,冰质点平均数浓度为27L~(-1)(2D-P资料)和133L~(-1)(2D-C),远人于0℃层以下的雨滴数浓度,相应的平均体积中值直径为0.8和0.4mm.冰质点数浓度随高度向上增加,在飞机垂直探测的顶部(6600m高度)观测到最大数浓度52L~(-1)(2D-P资料)和289L~(-1)(2D-C资料).冰质点大小则相反,是随高度下降而增大的.在0℃层附近冰晶聚合体较大较多,冰质点中15％以上是聚合体,2D-P探头观测的冰质点平均体积中值直径达1.8mm. 滴谱分析表明,负指数律分布能较好地拟合所有观测的降水质点大小谱分布.对水滴,斜率参数λ平均为17(±3.6)cm~(-1),相对变差不超过20％,在云模式研究中可以近似地假定λ是常数.然而,对冰质点样本,λ值可相差3倍以上,小能当作常数处理.至于截距参数N_0,不论是水滴还是冰晶样本,都是变量,其值可有2—3个数量级之差.但是,N_0与λ之间数值上相关很好,据此可以将降水质点谱简化为单参数分布.     

From sequential to parallel growth of cities: Theory and evidence from Canada

This paper examines city growth patterns and the corresponding city size distribution evolution over long periods of time using a simple New Economic Geography(NEG) model and urban population data from Canada. The main findings are twofold. First, there is a transition from sequential to parallel growth of cities over long periods of time: city growth shows a sequential mode in the stage of rapid urbanization, i.e., the cities with the best development conditions will take the lead in growth, after which the cities with higher ranks will become the fastest-growing cities; in the late stage of urbanization, city growth converges according to Gibrat′s law, and exhibits a parallel growth pattern. Second, city size distribution is found to have persistent structural characteristics: the city system is self-organized into multiple discrete size groups; city growth shows club convergence characteristics, and the cities with similar development conditions eventually converge to a similar size. The results will not only enhance our understanding of urbanization process, but will also provide a timely and clear policy reference for promoting the healthy urbanization of developing countries.     

利用雷达资料反演方法对北京地区一次强对流天气过程的分析

利用多普勒雷达变分分析系统(VDRAS),对2006年8月1日傍晚北京城区出现的一次强对流天气过程(伴有冰雹、大风及强降水)的三维风场、温度场进行了初步分析.结果表明:(1)初始对流生成于北京西北部山区的河北省境内,系统过山移进北京城区时,受局地的动力及热力条件作用,迅速组织并强烈发展,形成带状的MCS即飑线;(2)在飑线生成之前,北京城区及东南部边界层低层存在较强的东风气流,并迅速扩展向西北方向延伸,与过山的西北偏北气流形成强的边界层辐合线.该近地面辐合线是飑线生成的主要触发机制,而边界层低层东风的加强和减弱以及北进和南退对辐合线的维持、飑线的生成、发展和减弱都起着重要的作用;(3)在边界层辐合线的作用下,不断有新生对流系统发展;(4)对流系统在整个发展过程中呈明显的带状分布特征,是一次典型的飑线过程,并伴有明显的阵风锋.
