OBER DIE PALAEOZOISCHE FLORA DER PROVINZ SUIYUAN~1

Die palaeozoischen Pflanzen der Provinz Suiyuan sind bisher sehr wenig bekannt. Die in der vorliegenden Arbeit beschriebenen Pflanzen stammen aus dem sogenannten "Tachingshan Range" namentlich aus den Localitaten Tungshengmao und Kumenyintien. Die Fundorte liegen also etwa an der Grenze     

ON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN INTERESTING FOSSIL WOOD FROM URUMCHI(TIHUA)IN SINKIANG~1

The fragment of fossil wood forming the main subject of this paper was collected by P. Teilhard de Chardin when he was sent to Sinkiang by the Geological Survey of China, with the Haardt-Citroen Expedition (1932).     

栖霞石灰岩之腕足类化石

本篇之结论有下列数要点.(一)德人佛莱士谓棲霞石灰岩属下石炭纪之说完至错误,其时代决非下石炭纪二)棲霞石灰岩在长江流域分布甚广,凡燧石石灰岩之底部无处无之,但自此南北行均渐归绝迹.(三)棲霞石灰岩代表-古太平洋区之海浸,故其生物化石海与南美洲者较相近而与我国北流及其他各处者反无关.(四)据腕足类化石之研究,棲霞石灰岩之时代应属上石炭纪,但为时在Schwagerina 期之前.(五)在长江流域,燧石石灰岩(即巫山石灰岩下部)代表-连续之沈积;底为珊瑚层(即棲霞石灰岩),属上石炭纪;中为各纺锤虫层,大致相当于Schwagerina期,属下二叠纪;上为Oldhamina及Lyttonia层,完圣与印度?领之上及中长身贝石灰岩相当,属中二叠纪。     

The New Form of Time-Dependent Mild Slope Equation for Random Waves

The mild-slope equation derived by Berkhoff (1972), has widely been used in the numerical calculation of refraction and diffraction of regular waves. However, it is well known that the random sea waves has a significant effect in the refraction and diffraction problems. In this paper, a new form of time-dependent mild slope equation for irregular waves was derived with Fade approximation and Kubo's time series concept. The equation was simplified using WKB method, and simple and practical irregular mild slope equation was obtained. Results of numerical calculations are compared with those of laboratory experiments.

The formation and evolution of an isolated submarine valley in the North Channel,Irish Sea: an investigation of Beaufort's Dyke

Beaufort's Dyke is a submarine depression located in the North Channel of the Irish Sea. With a maximum depth of 312 m, the dyke is one of the deepest areas within the European continental shelf. Integration and interpretation of 450 km of sparker seismic data and full‐coverage bathymetric data derived from multi‐beam echo sounder surveys allow for the investigation of the formation processes of Beaufort's Dyke and the evolution of geomorphological features within it. The dyke, formed by composite subglacial processes dominated by subglacial meltwater discharge, is interpreted as a tunnel valley. The regional isolation of Beaufort's Dyke may be explained by the bounding of the North Channel by the bedrock masses of Ireland and Scotland, coupled with the exploitation of structural weakness along a fault plane and presence of halite in the eroded substrate enhancing the erosive potential of the overlying glacier. Beaufort's Dyke has probably been maintained as an open feature by strong rectilinear tidal currents. The morphology of lunate sediment waves and a large parabolic bedform towards the south of the dyke contradict the observed dominant S–N mean hydrodynamic flow recorded within the North Channel, suggesting an alternative hydrodynamic regime either within the dyke or during bedform creation.

Parallelization Load Balance Strategy for a Global Grid-Point Model

The Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System (GRAPES) is a new-generation operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) model developed by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA).It is a grid-point model with a code structure different from that of spectral models used in other operational NWP centers such as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF),National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP),and Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA),especially in the context of p...
