Breaking of Solitary Waves on Uniform Slopes

The propagation,shoaling and breaking of solitary waves on mild slopes are simulated byboundary element method.In this paper,the criterion of breaking solitary waves on mild slopes is discussed.The criterion is that the ratio of horizontal velocity of water particles on the wave crest to wave celerity equalsone.However,the case that the ratio of horizontal velocity of water particles on the wave crest to wave ce-lerity is below one but the front face of wave profile becomes vertical is also considered as a breaking criteri-on.According to the above criteria,the breaking index for slopes 1:10 to 1:25 is studied.The result is com-pared to other researchers'.The deformation of solitary waves on slopes is discussed and the distribution offluid velocities at breaking is shown.     

木钙对兰州黄土水理性质的影响

为揭示木钙对兰州黄土水理性质的影响,基于不同的木钙掺量和养护龄期,通过水滴入渗试验、渗透试验和崩解试验分析木钙土斥水性、渗透性和水稳性,并利用X射线衍射试验、扫描电镜试验探讨木钙土的改良机理。研究结果表明:木钙的掺入可以提升黄土的斥水性、水稳性,低掺量木钙土提升幅度有限,高掺量木钙土整体表现良好,而减弱渗透性的作用有限;木钙土的水理性质发挥具有龄期效应;28 d养护龄期下,木钙土的水理性质参数随木钙掺量的变化存在广义上的峰值,但峰值与木钙掺量的关系存在一定差异;木钙土的水理性质同力学性质保持了一定的正向关联性。木钙土并未产生新的矿物成分,但土颗粒双电层厚度变薄,而且胶结生成物包裹联结颗粒、填充孔隙,从而改善木钙土的水理性质。     

太湖流域降雨和湖水酸根阴离子长期变化及其环境意义

为揭示太湖流域降雨和湖水酸根阴离子长期变化特征及环境意义,通过历史数据收集和采样分析,对太湖流域降雨和湖水中的SO₄^2-、NO₃^-变化特征和来源进行了研究.结果表明：自1990s以来太湖流域降雨中SO₄^2-呈显著下降趋势,年平均下降率为0.28 mg/（L·a）;NO₃^-浓度却呈显著上升趋势,年平均增长率为0.05 mg/（L·a）,降雨中氮污染呈现加重的趋势.与之相反,湖水中SO₄^2-呈显著上升趋势,年平均增长率为1.24 mg/（L·a）;NO₃^-浓度却呈显著下降趋势,年平均下降率为0.02 mg/（L·a）.30年以来,太湖水体SO₄^2-/NO₃^-比值不断升高,远高于降水SO₄^2-/NO₃^-比值.研究认为：流域SO₂排放引起的酸沉降是湖水SO₄^2-浓度增长的最重要原因,但氮氧化物排放并未引起湖水NO₃^-浓度升高,说明太湖流域对大气沉降的氮氧化物有滞留作用,而太湖水体是流域大气沉降硫酸盐的重要汇.综合治理太湖流域酸性物质排放对防止太湖水体酸化和治理富营养化都具有重要意义.     

ENSO事件期间热带印度洋和太平洋地区大尺度海气相互作用联系的研究

利用大气环流三维分解方法研究了1979—2008年ENSO事件期间热带印度洋和太平洋地区海气相互作用的机制。研究表明ENSO事件期间存在明显的三维"齿轮式"耦合特征;在ENSO事件盛期,与NCEP再分析资料的垂直运动相比,大气环流三维分解方法揭示的东印度洋-西太平洋地区的下沉运动更强,范围更宽。大气环流三维分解方法把垂直速度分解为纬向分量和经向分量两部分,纬向分量表现为很强的下沉运动,而经向分量表现为上升运动,垂直速度的纬向分量和经向分量相互抵消了一部分,综合的结果表现为很强的下沉运动。在热带地区,垂直速度ω*的纬向分量ωW要大于其经向分量ωH,ωW反映了ω*的主要特征;在分析垂直运动方面,与NCEP再分析资料中的垂直速度相比,大气环流三维分解方法具有一定的优点。     

考虑结构性的冻融作用对黄土湿陷系数的影响

结构性是黄土的基本属性,黄土的湿陷特性与其结构性之间有着必然的联系。针对冻融作用对不同结构性黄土湿陷性的影响,以水泥作为模拟土颗粒间的联结材料制备了人工结构性土,开展了不同水泥含量的人工结构性土与相应的原状土、重塑土的湿陷试验,分析了结构性、冻融作用、初始含水率、湿重度及荷载大小对湿陷系数的影响规律。试验结果表明：冻融前后,人工结构性黄土的湿陷系数均比原状土、重塑土的湿陷系数小,且随着水泥含量的增加,湿陷系数有所减小;冻融之后,各土样的湿陷系数几乎均有所增加,但增加的程度和土样初始结构、含水率、干密度（压实系数）及竖向荷载关系密切,尤其当含水率接近最优含水率和土样为重塑土或水泥含量较低的人工结构性土时,冻融后湿陷系数增大幅度显著。在标准荷载200 kPa下,冻融前后原状土、重塑土的湿陷系数与其湿重度之间基本呈较好的线性负相关关系,而人工结构性黄土湿陷系数与湿重度之间并不呈线性关系;竖向荷载为50 kPa时,重塑黄土和5%水泥含量黄土的湿陷系数与冻融次数之间存在着较好的对数关系。以水泥作为土颗粒间联结材料,制备的人工结构性土是否能很好地代替原状土反映结构性黄土的湿陷特性,还需更进一步深入研究。     

CO_2 Density-Raman Shift Relation Derived from Synthetic Inclusions in Fused Silica Capillaries and Its Application

Abstract: The densities of CO2 inclusions in minerals are commonly used to determine the crystallizing conditions of the host minerals. However, conventional microthermometry is difficult to apply for inclusions of small size (< 5–10 μm) or low density. Raman analysis is an alternative method for determining CO2 density, provided that the CO2 density–Raman shift relation is known. This study aims to establish this CO2 density–Raman shift relation by using CO2 inclusions synthesized in fused silica capillaries. By using this newly-developed synthetic technique, we formed pure CO2 inclusions, and their densities were determined by microthermometry. The Raman analysis showed that the relation between CO2 density (D in g/cm3) and the separations (Δ in cm?1) between the two main bands (i.e. Fermi diad bands) in CO2 Raman spectra can be represented by a cubic equation: D (g/cm3)=0.74203(?0.019Δ3+5.90332Δ2?610.79472Δ+21050.30165)?3.54278 (r2=0.99920). Our calculated D value for a given Δ is between those obtained from two previously-reported equations, which were derived from different experimental methods. An example was given in this study to demonstrate that the densities of natural CO2 inclusions that could not be derived from microthermometry could be determined by using our method.

Recent Advances in Predictability Studies in China （1999-2002）

Since the last International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) General Assembly (1999), the predictability studies in China have made further progress during the period of 1999-2002. Firstly, three predictability sub-problems in numerical weather and climate prediction are classified, which are concerned with the maximum predictability time, the maximum prediction error, and the maximum allowable initial error, and then they are reduced into three nonlinear optimization problems. Secondly, the concepts of the nonlinear singular vector (NSV) and conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) are proposed,which have been utilized to study the predictability of numerical weather and climate prediction. The results suggest that the nonlinear characteristics of the motions of atmosphere and oceans can be revealedby NSV and CNOP. Thirdly, attention has also been paid to the relations between the predictability and spatial-temporal scale, and between the model predictability and the machine precision, of which the investigations disclose the importance of the spatial-temporal scale and machine precision in the study of predictability. Also the cell-to-cell mapping is adopted to analyze globally the predictability of climate,which could provide a new subject to the research workers. Furthermore, the predictability of the summer rainfall in China is investigated by using the method of correlation coefficients. The results demonstrate that the predictability of summer rainfall is different in different areas of China. Analysis of variance, which is one of the statistical methods applicable to the study of predictability, is also used to study the potential predictability of monthly mean temperature in China, of which the conclusion is that the monthly mean temperature over China is potentially predictable at a statistical significance level of 0.10. In addition,in the analysis of the predictability of the T106 objective analysis/forecasting field, the variance and the correlation coefficient are calculated to explore the distribution characteristics of the mean-square errors.Finally, the predictability of short-term climate prediction is investigated by using statistical methods or numerical simulation methods. It is demonstrated that the predictability of short-term climate in China depends not only on the region of China being investigated, but also on the time scale and the atmospheric internal dynamical process.

On-line estimation of unit hydrographs using the wavelet-based LMS algorithm / Estimation en ligne des hydrogrammes unitaires grâce à l'algorithme des moindres carrés moyens à base d'ondelettes

Abstract

This study applies the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to decompose the unit hydrograph, thereby generating parsimonious reparameterizations of the unit hydrograph. A model compression method is then employed to significantly compress the unit hydrograph requiring that fewer coefficients be estimated. Moreover, a wavelet-based linearly constrained least mean squares (WLCLMS) algorithm is also used to estimate on-line the wavelet coefficients of the unit hydrograph. The updated wavelet coefficients of the unit hydrograph, convoluted with effective rainfall input in the wavelet domain, allow for accurate prediction of one-step-ahead runoff in the time domain. The proposed approach allows the unit hydrographs to vary in time and accurately predicts runoff from a basin in Taiwan, thus making it highly promising for flood forecasting.
