粤西阳春中生代钾玄质侵入岩及其构造意义:Ⅰ.岩石学和同位素地质年代学

粤西阳春地区马山二长岩的岩石化学组成特征为典型的钾玄质岩石,岗尾、轮水石英二长岩和花岗闪长岩属酸性一偏中性的钾玄质系列岩石(少数样品为高钾钙碱性岩石),而石菉花岗闪长岩则为典型的钙碱性系列岩石,这些岩体在岩石化学演化趋势上存在显著的差异,不属于同一个岩石成因系列.40Ar-39Ar和Rb-Sr同位素定年结果表明,马山和岗尾岩体的形成年龄分别为(164±2)Ma和(154±1)Ma.阳春地区从中侏罗世到早白垩世期间发生了3次主要的岩浆活动,从早到晚岩浆的K富集程度逐渐降低,岩浆岩成分从钾玄质系列过渡到钙碱系列.     

基于两种半分析算法的水体吸收系数反演

本文基于42组不同年份不同季节获得的遥感反射率、水体各组分吸收系数的实测数据,对QAA（Quasi-Analytical Algorithm）和GSM（Garver-Siegel-Maritorena）算法在寡营养的南海和富营养的福建沿岸两种不同类型水体的吸收系数反演进行了检验。以水样测量值为参考,两种算法在本研究水体中的反演成效与他人在其它水域的研究结果相当。QAA算法在南海的反演成效高于福建沿岸水体。对于443 nm的总吸收系数（a443 ）,南海的对数均方根误差（RMSE ）为0.046,平均相对误差为7.9%,对数平均偏差为0;福建沿岸水体的对数均方根误差（RMSE ）为0.194,平均相对误差为30.6%,对数平均偏差为-0.167 。GSM算法在两类水体的反演成效类似,A443 之RMSE和平均相对误差,南海分别为0.161和27.7%,福建沿岸分别为0.149和32.1%,但从A443的对数平均偏差值看,其在南海反演值低于实测值（对数平均偏差为-0.142 ）,在福建沿岸则略呈高于实测值（对数平均偏差为0.016）。两种算法中的部分经验参数与实测值之间的差异是产生反演误差的主要原因,为了提高反演精度,对算法中经验参数的更进一步区域化调整可能是必要的。     

Influence of Tropical Cyclone Landfalls on Spatiotemporal Variations in Typhoon Season Rainfall over South China

This study examined the impact of tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls on the spatiotemporal variations in the rainfall over South China for the period 1957–2005. The target region was selected to show the noteworthy contribution of TC landfalls to the total rainfall during the typhoon season (July–October). Two prevailing spatial variations in the rainfall were obtained from an EOF analysis. The first EOF mode displays singlesign variability over South China with an explained variance of 23.4%. The associated t...     

Past and Future Changes in the Climate of Hong Kong

Over the years, the Hong Kong Observatory has carried out scientific studies to evaluate the observed climate trends and project the future climate in Hong Kong. Analysis of the meteorological observations at the observatory's headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui since 1885 reveals that the temperature rise in Hong Kong during the past 124 years is in accord with the global rising trend. The accelerated rising trend in the mean temperature in last few decades may be attributed to the anthropogenic influences, especially urbanization. A similar increasing trend is also observed for rainfall. Other observations such as increasing cloud amount and decreasing total global solar radiation are all consistent with the global trend. Studies of past occurrences of extreme temperature and rainfall have also been carried out. The results indicate that cold episodes have become rarer while very hot days and heavy rain events are becoming more frequent. The observatory also makes use of the data from the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and employs statistical downscaling techniques to carry out projections of temperature and precipitation in the 21st century. It is found that the rise in temperature in Hong Kong will be slightly higher than the global mean in the 21st century. The annual rainfall in Hong Kong is also expected to rise by the end of the 21st century, so is its year-to-year variability.     

Characteristics and Nonlinear Growth of the Singular Vector Related to a Heavy Rainfall Case over the Korean Peninsula

In this study,singular vectors related to a heavy rainfall case over the Korean Peninsula were calculated using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) adjoint modeling system.Tangent linear and adjoint models include moist physical processes,and a moist basic state and a moist total energy norm were used for the singular-vector calculations.The characteristics and nonlinear growth of the first singular vector were analyzed,focusing on the relationship between the basic state and the singular vector.The horizontal distribution of the initial singular vector was closely related to the baroclinicity index and the moisture availability of the basic state.The temperature-component energy at a lower level was dominant at the initial time,and the kinetic energy at upper levels became dominant at the final time in the energy profile of the singular vector.The nonlinear growth of the singular vector appropriately reflects the temporal variations in the basic state.The moisture-component energy at lower levels was dominant at earlier times,indicating continuous moisture transport in the basic state.There were a large amount of precipitation and corresponding latent heat release after that period because the continuous moisture transport created favorable conditions for both convective and nonconvective precipitation.The vertical propagation of the singular-vector energy was caused by precipitation and the corresponding latent heating in the basic state.     

2007年春季广州城区黑碳气溶胶污染特征的初步研究

2007年4月利用黑碳仪（Aethalometer）、颗粒物在线观测仪（TEOM1400a）和现时天气现象传感器（PWD22）获得了大气细粒子中每5 min黑碳气溶胶（BC）浓度以及每30 min PM2.5浓度及大气能见度观测数据。结果发现：黑碳日均值浓度为7.4±2.9 μg·m－3,变化范围分别为2.1～11.6 μg·m－3。PM2.5日均值浓度为77.4±35.9 μg·m－3,浓度变化范围分别为29.6～183.3 μg·m－3。黑碳小时浓度变化具有2个明显的峰值,主要与机动车尾气排放密切相关。黑碳浓度与PM2.5浓度呈正相关,与大气能见度呈负相关,相关系数为分别为0.707和－0.529,表明黑碳是PM2.5中的重要组成部分,对大气能见度的影响较显著。     

Seasonal variations in the isotopic composition of near-surface water vapour in the eastern Mediterranean

Although the isotopic composition of precipitation is widely used in global climate change studies, use of water vapour isotopes is considerably more limited. Here we present the results from 9 yr of atmospheric vapour measurements in the Eastern Mediterranean, at a site in Israel. The measurements show a strong mean seasonal cycle of about 4‰ in ¹⁸O (peaking around July). This seasonality could not be adequately explained by changes in surface interactions or in air mass trajectories, as usually invoked for variations in local precipitation. We could explain this cycle only as a combination of three components: (1) rainout effects; (2) temperature and relative humidity control of the initial vapour and (3) seasonal variations in the vertical mixing across the top of the planetary boundary layer. This last component is emphasized in the current study, and it was shown to be a significant factor in the seasonal cycle features. The measurements were also compared with an isotope-enabled GCM (CAM2) run, which exhibited a markedly different seasonal cycle. Such comparisons with vapour isotopes data could help in constraining models better.     

Late Quaternary glaciation in the Tianshan and implications for palaeoclimatic change: a review

Xu, X., Kleidon, A., Miller, L., Wang, S., Wang, L. & Dong, G. 2009: Late Quaternary glaciation in the Tianshan and implications for palaeoclimatic change: a review. Boreas, 10.1111/j.1502‐3885.2009.00118.x. ISSN 0300‐9483. The Tianshan mountain range has been extensively and repeatedly glaciated during the late Quaternary. Multiple moraines in this region record the extent and timing of late Quaternary glacier fluctuations. The moraines and their ages are described in three sub‐regions: eastern, central and western Tianshan. Notable glacial advances occurred during marine oxygen isotope stages (MIS) 6, 4, 3, 2, the Neoglacial and the Little Ice Age (LIA) in these sub‐regions. Glaciers in western Tianshan advanced significantly also during MIS 5, but not in eastern and central Tianshan. The local last glacial maximum (llgm) of the three sub‐regions pre‐dated the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and occurred during MIS 4 in eastern and central Tianshan, but during MIS 3 in western Tianshan. The spatial and temporal distribution of the glaciers suggests that precipitation (as snow at high altitude) is the main factor controlling glacial advance in the Tianshan. The late Quaternary climate in the Tianshan has been generally cold–dry during glacial times and warm–humid during interglacial times. Between neighbouring glacial times, the climate has had a more arid tendency in eastern and central Tianshan. These palaeoclimatic conditions inferred from glacial landforms indicate important relationships between the mid‐latitude westerly, the Siberian High and the Asian monsoon.
