A study on cosmogenic nuclides in the Jilin meteorite and its irradiation history

44 samples of the Jilin meteorite were analyzed by various laboratories for spallogenic, radiogenic, and trapped rare gases. A non-uniform distribution has been found for the rare gases of different origins. There have been found correlations among the spallogenic rare gases, with apparent depth effects. 43 samples were analyzed for their cosmogenic radionuclides⁶⁰Co,²⁶Al,³⁶Cl,⁴⁰K,⁵³Mn,⁵⁴Mn, and²²Na. Correlations have been found between⁶⁰Co and⁵³Mn and between⁶⁰Co and²¹Ne. The Jilin meteorite has a complex history of cosmic-ray irradiation. According to the two-stage model and the other fragments have a burying depth two stages,T ₁=11 m.y. andT ₂=0.3 m.y. The burying depth of all samples in the parent body can be obtained by the content of²¹Ne. Jilin meteorite No. 1 is located 20–142 cm from the surface, No. 4 ranges from 106–134 cm, and the other fragments have a burying depth between 15 and 150 cm. The equation of the reference plane for the surface of the 1-stage Jilin meteoroid is 0.24x+0.81y+0.53z+0.5=0. Use can also be made of⁶⁰Co to determine the burying depth of all samples in the 2-stage Jilin meteoroid (under a geometry of 4π), and further to restore the preatmospheric form and size of the parent body. During its atmospheric passage, the Jilin had an ablation rate of ca. 30%. On the basis of the two-stage model and the concentration of²¹Ne and⁶⁰Co in the samples, we propose a scheme to restore the relative position of all samples in the parent body. 12 sample-distribution regions can be sketched out. Also can be restored the relative position of all the samples in the parent body during the two stages.     

REE Geochemistry of VMS and SEDEX Ores in China

REE ratios and patterns for massive pyrite ore and massive cuprous pyrite ore ofthe Baiyinchang orefield are quite similar to those for quartz keratophyritic tuff and quartzalbitophyre of the same orefield. However, massive cuprous pyrite ore of the Ashele Cu-Zn de-posit is similar to basalt-diabase of the same district in REE geochemistry. Comparison of theChinese VMS ores with those from Rio Tinto, Spain and Que River, Australia, in REEgeochemistry has been made. REE ratios and patterns of bedded-massive and massive ores ofthe Changba-Lijiagou Zn-Pb deposit, the second largest SEDEX deposit in China are similarto those of their host rocks, the Qinling shales of Devonian age and the Changba adamellite.The three types of ore and their host rocks of the Dongshengmiao pyrite (pyrrhotite)-Zn-Pbdeposit have parallel REE ratios and patterns.     

Sensitivity of the IAP two-level AGCM to surface albedo variations

Summary Two numerical experiments were performed for sensitivity study of surface albedo, one was a control run in which the albedo values for snow-free surfaces were prescribed as constant; the other was a sensitivity run in which an albedo with seasonal variation was incorporated into the model show that the simulation of precipitation is sensitive to the surface albedo variations, especially those over Eastern Asia and the Sahara. Changes in surface albedo also have an impact on the monthly mean sea level pressure, especially on the July-mean Western Pacific subtropical high. Surface air temperature decreased over most of the Eastern Asia but increases over most of the Antarctica in July.With 6 Figures     

Investigation on the Load/Unload Response Ratio With Coda Q-1 as Response

The load/unload response ratio YQ with the geophysical parameter coda Q-1 of the crust as response is denned in this study.The variation in YQ-1 before and after the Northridge earthquake of January 17,1994(California)has been investigated by using the data of coda Q-1 with frequencies of 1.5,3.0,6.0,12.0,and 24.0 Hz in the Southern California from 1987 to 1994.It can be found that YQ-1 for coda waves with all frequencies,the frequency of 12.0 Hz excluded,ascended to a certain extent prior to the occurrence of the rnainshock and returned to normality after the main shock.     

Time and tectonic setting of the Xixiang Group: Constraints from zircon U-Pb geochronology and geochemistry

The present paper reports the research development in the timing and tectonic setting of the Xixiang Group, northwestern margin of the Yangtze block. U-Pb concordant ages of (946 ± 18) Ma and (904±18) Ma of zircons were obtained from the upper and lower units of the Xixiang volcanic succession, respectively. Elemental and Nd isotope characteristics show that the volcanic suite has the affinities of arc island magmatism as well as an evolution trend of tectonic setting from front-arc to back-arc. The volcanic rocks suffered from some extensive post-stage tectono-thermal events, resulting in the resetting of their Rb-Sr isotopic system.

Similarity search and pattern discovery in hydrological time series data mining

The rapid development of data mining provides a new method for water resource management, hydrology and hydroinformatics research. In the paper, based on data mining theory and technology, we analyse hydrological daily discharge time series of the Shaligunlanke Station in the Tarim River Basin in China from the year 1961 to 2000. Firstly, according to the four monthly statistics, namely mean monthly discharge, monthly maximum discharge, monthly amplitude and monthly standard deviation, K‐mean clustering was used to segment the annual process of the daily discharge. The clustering result showed that the annual process of the daily discharge can be divided into five segments: snowmelt period I (April), snowmelt period II (May), rainfall period I (June–August), rainfall period II (September) and dry period (October–December and January–March). Secondly, dynamic time warping (DTW), which is a different distance metric method from the traditional Euclidian distance metric, was used to look for similarities in the discharge process. On the basis of the similarity matrix, the similar discharge processes can be mined in each period. Thirdly, agglomerative hierarchical clustering was used to cluster and discover the discharge patterns in terms of the autoregressive model. It was found that the discharge had a close relationship with the temperature and the precipitation, and the discharge processes were more similar under the same climatic condition. Our study shows that data mining is a feasible and efficient approach to discover the hidden information in the historical hydrological data and mining the implicative laws under the hydrological process.
