Distribution and characteristics of marine habitats in a subpolar bay based on hydroacoustics and bed shear stress estimates—Potter Cove,King George Island,Antarctica

Marine habitats worldwide are increasingly pressurized by climate change, especially along the Antarctic Peninsula. Well-studied areas in front of rapidly retreating tidewater glaciers like Potter Cove are representative for similar coastal environments and, therefore, shed light on habitat formation and development on not only a local but also regional scale. The objective of this study was to provide insights into habitat distribution in Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica, and to evaluate the associated environmental processes. Furthermore, an assessment concerning the future development of the habitats is provided. To describe the seafloor habitats in Potter Cove, an acoustic seabed discrimination system (RoxAnn) was used in combination with underwater video images and sediment samples. Due to the absence of wave and current measurements in the study area, bed shear stress estimates served to delineate zones prone to sediment erosion. On the basis of the investigations, two habitat classes were identified in Potter Cove, namely soft-sediment and stone habitats that, besides influences from sediment supply and coastal morphology, are controlled by sediment erosion. A future expansion of the stone habitat is predicted if recent environmental change trends continue. Possible implications for the Potter Cove environment, and other coastal ecosystems under similar pressure, include changes in biomass and species composition.     

Physical and biological controls on the summer chlorophyll bloom to the east of Vietnam

The contributions of physical and biological processes to the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) bloom to the east of Vietnam in summer are examined. The offshore jet redistributes Chl-a concentration by transporting high Chl-waters from the continental margin to the east of Vietnam. The jet also contributes to high concentrations of nutrients and zooplankton biomass that lead to a dynamic balance between increased nutrients and grazing pressure for phytoplankton growth. As a consequence, the net biological processes reduce the Chl-a concentrations in the broader offshore region, but they also maintain the filaments with higher Chl-a stretching away from the coast due to the reduced grazing pressure.     

安徽金寨三仙山地区梅山群碎屑岩成分及其对物源区构造属性和地层时代的意义

安徽金寨三仙山地区位于大别山北缘,该地梅山群主要为一套轻微变质的碎屑岩系。砂岩碎屑组分统计表明,砂岩类型主要为岩屑石英砂岩、岩屑石英杂砂岩,石英、长石、岩屑的平均含量为87.21%、1.67%、9.64%,杂基含量为15%,石英几乎全为单晶石英（95.79%）,长石以斜长石为主,岩屑主要为沉积岩屑（75.49%）,其次为变质岩屑（24.51%）。碎屑岩地球化学元素平均含量为：SiO₂（75.99%）,Al₂O₃（11.96%）,MgO（0.72%）,CaO（0.10%）,Fe₂O₃（4.02%）,K₂O（1.70%）,Na₂O（0.26%）。ΣREE=170.49×10^-6（74.49×10^-6～309.42×10^-6）,LREE/HREE=11.16（7.89～14.26）,轻稀土略有富集,δEu=0.72（0.59～0.90）,La/Yb=22.08（13.01～31.18）,（La/Yb）_N=14.89（8.77～21.02）,δCe=0.84（0.42～0.97）。碎屑岩地球化学特征指示三仙山地区梅山群母岩主要为古老沉积岩、长英质火山岩和古老变质基底,具有多重物源区。梅山群构造背景较复杂,主要为被动大陆边缘和活动大陆边缘,其次为大陆岛弧。三仙山地区梅山群碎屑岩的源岩成分、构造背景与商城-固始地区石炭系有很大差别,故其地层时代有待于进一步研究。     

类星体红移分布△ln（1＋z）＝0．205周期性的一种解释

根据红移定义１＋ｚ＝λｉ／λ０ｉ，我们认为类星体红移分布ｌｎ（１＋ｚ）周期性受两个因素影响。首先，决定类星体红移的主要线（如Ｌα１２１６，ＣＩＶ１５４９，ＣＩＩＩ１９０９，ＭｇＩＩ２７９８，ＮｅＶ３４２６，ＯＩＩ３７２７，ＮｅＩＩＩ３８６８，Ｈγ４３４０，Ｈβ４８６１，ＯＩＩＩ５００７）固有波长可能构成０．２０５的周期性；另外，这些谱线的观测波长进入一定光学窗口对红移有一定限制，在一定条件下，它正好在某些红移出现峰值，并与ｌｎ（１＋ｚ）＝０．２０５预言峰值一致。我们还在这两个基本考虑下进行模拟取样，发现有明显周期性，定量上证实了我们的基本考虑。本文是类星体红移分布的一种解释，它能说明为什么统计分布不同样品能得到不同的结论。进而，我们认为红移分布周期性不能成为内禀红移观点的观测支持。     

门源MS6.9地震前嘉峪关气氡变化特征分析

在综合分析1991年以来祁连地震区及周边7次M_S6.0以上地震前嘉峪关气氡异常特征的基础上,进一步分析嘉峪关气氡趋势异常与门源M_S6.9地震的关系。分析结果显示：(1)在该区域,有些地震发生前气氡出现了明显的响应,表现为破年变和短期成组突跳异常变化;有些地震发生前气氡无响应,且地震发生前气氡是否有响应与震中距没有明显的关系。(2)地震发生前气氡是否出现异常,与地震发生的断裂紧密相关,同一断裂的地震,气氡异常具有相似性特征。地震前分布在大柴旦—宗务隆山断裂上的气氡都出现了破年变和成组突跳的配套性异常,而分布在托莱山—冷龙岭断裂上的气氡通常没有异常显示。(3)嘉峪关气氡的趋势异常可能与整个区域构造活动的增强有关,它可能是玛多M_S7.4及其后发生在祁连山地震区及其周边包含门源M_S6.9在内一系列M_S5.5以上地震的响应。该研究对地震前兆异常性质的判定、地震跟踪监测和预测效能的提高具有重要意义。     

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications of A-type Granites in Zhaheba in the East Junggar Region of Xinjiang, China: Evidence from Geochronology, Geochemistry and Sr-Nd Isotopic Compositions

The magma source, petrogenesis, tectonic setting and geochronology of the late Paleozoic A-type granites widely exposed in the Zhaheba area, East Junggar, have thus far not been well-constrained. A better understanding of these issues will help to reveal the magmatic processes and continental growth of Central Asia. The A-type granites in Zhaheba include the Ashutasi alkaline granites and the Yuyitasi syenogranites, which were emplaced at 321.5 ± 4.8 Ma and 321.7 ± 0.6 Ma, respectively. The major rock-forming minerals are orthoclase, perthite, arfvedsonite and quartz, which exhibit the following principal geochemical characteristics of A2-type granites. (1) Their REE distribution curves each exhibit a ‘V’-shaped pattern and a marked depletion in Eu. They are rich in large-ion lithophile elements Rb, Th and U as well as high-field-strength elements Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf, but significantly depleted in Ba, Sr, P and Ti. (2) Their (87Sr/86Sr)i values (0.7021–0.7041), εNd(t) values (4.57–5.16) and REE distribution patterns are in basic agreement with those of the Kalamaili A-type granite belt in East Junggar. The TDM2 values of the alkaline granites and syenogranites range from 661 to 709 Ma. The A-type granites may be the products of upwelling asthenosphere-triggered partial melting of immature lower crust. The alkaline granites were late-stage products of crystallization and differentiation. Compared to the syenogranites, the alkaline granites are significantly lower in K2O, Na2O, Al2O3, FeO, MgO and CaO, but significantly higher in incompatible elements (e.g., SiO2, Rb, and Sr). The magmatic crystallization temperatures of the syenogranites and alkaline granites are 874°C and 819°C, respectively. As their age gradually decreases (peak ages: 322 Ma and 307 Ma, respectively), there is a gradual decrease in the TDM2 of the A-type granites and a gradual increase in the εNd(t) value from the Ulungur belt to the Kalamaili belt in East Junggar. The study of A-type granites is therefore one of the keys to understanding the laws and mechanisms of crustal accretion during the Phanerozoic period, as well as also being of great significance for understanding the Paleozoic accretion.

Nonlinear interaction between astronomical tides and storm surges at wusong tidal station

There are obvious periodic oscillations in the observations of storm surges in the East China Sea. The storm surges are not only controlled by the wind stresses and isolated long wave caused by typhoons but also affected by the interaction between astronomical tides and storm surges. In the present paper we simulate the interaction between tides and storm surges by using a two dimensional numerical model. In our numerical experiments we use the data of the storm surge induced by Typhoon 8114. The calculations tally with the measured data well. The results indicate that the periodic oscillations occurring in the elevations of the surge are mainly caused by the interaction between the tide and the storm surge. The numerical experiments also indicate that the forecasting precision may be notably improved if the nonlinear interaction between tides and storm surges is taken into account.

To deal with the universal problem of parasitical frequency spectrum in China New Generation Weather Radar transmitter, this paper establishes mathematical models for parasitical signals existing in radar transmitters and analyzes their effects on weather radar performance. Based on an engineering analysis of their possible sources, a step-by-step method to eliminate parasitical spectrum is presented, which is applied to troubleshooting experimental weather radar. Eventually, parasitical spectrum is basically eliminated. As a result, improved spectrum purity and reduced phase noise is achieved. Moreover, accuracy for velocity estimate as well as ground clutter suppression ability of the radar system is enhanced.
