Paleomagnetic study on the Early Triassic red beds from Jiaocheng,Shanxi Province

Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic study has been conducted on the Early Triassic red beds of Liujiagou Formation from Jiaocheng, Shanxi Province. Hematite was shown as the main magnetic mineral. After eradicating an initial viscous component at room temperature to ~100°C–200°C, thermal demagnetization shows that most samples contain two remanence components, intermediate-temperature remanence component at 250°C–500°C and high-temperature component at 500°C–680°C. The intermediate-temperature component has a negative fold test at the 95% confidence level. And the pole position of the intermediate-temperature component in geographic coordinates is correlated with the Middle Jurassic reference pole of the North China Block (NCB) within the 95% confidence, suggesting that it might be a remagnetization component acquired during the Yanshanian period. The high-temperature component contains both reversal and normal polarities with positive fold test and C-level positive reversal test at the 95% confidence level, which suggests that this high-temperature component can be regarded as primary magnetization. Comparison of this newly obtained Early Triassic paleopole with the coeval mean pole of the Ordos Basin suggests that a locally relative rotation may have happened between the Ordos and the Jiaocheng area of Shanxi Province. This rotation may be related with two faults: one is Lishi big fault separating Ordos from Shanxi and the other is Jiaocheng big fault, which is situated in the southeast of sampling locality and was still in motion during the Cenozoic.

基于网络数据库的气象图形图像软件

土壤墒情是反映一地土壤含水量多少的主要指标，墒情的好坏直接影响着农作物的生长。对于土壤墒情的计算和编报，曲沃县气象站经历了从完全的由人工查算计算编报，到用Basic语言编程计算编报，再到以后的Excel表格计算几个阶段。但这几种方法要么是计算量大，要么是界面不友好不易控制，要么是对操作计算机人员水平要求过高，稍不留心可能造成计算错误等多种不便。应用VFP语言可容易的编出具有Windows风格的程序，既方便操作，又能保证计算的精确度。     

用sPn计算内蒙地震的震源深度

震源深度是地震定位的一个重要参数。本文讨论了用sPn测定震源深度的可能性。sPn对于测定地壳内震源深度具有重要意义。本文笔者利用记录到的sPn震相计算了2003年8月16日发生在我国内蒙地区地震的震源深度，并对该方法在日常工作中的应用进行了讨论。     

Posteruption glacier development within the crater of Mount St. Helens, Washington, USA

The cataclysmic eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, resulted in a large, north-facing amphitheater, with a steep headwall rising 700 m above the crater floor. In this deeply shaded niche a glacier, here named the Amphitheater glacier, has formed. Tongues of ice-containing crevasses extend from the main ice mass around both the east and the west sides of the lava dome that occupies the center of the crater floor. Aerial photographs taken in September 1996 reveal a small glacier in the southwest portion of the amphitheater containing several crevasses and a bergschrund-like feature at its head. The extent of the glacier at this time is probably about 0.1 km². By September 2001, the debris-laden glacier had grown to about 1 km² in area, with a maximum thickness of about 200 m, and contained an estimated 120,000,000 m³ of ice and rock debris. Approximately one-third of the volume of the glacier is thought to be rock debris derived mainly from rock avalanches from the surrounding amphitheater walls. The newly formed Amphitheater glacier is not only the largest glacier on Mount St. Helens but its aerial extent exceeds that of all other remaining glaciers combined.

固体潮地震预测与固体潮地球动力学研究的分析比较

固体潮研究是研究地震成因、地震前兆与地震预测的重要内容.在开展固体潮地震预测研究之前,固体潮主要用于地球动力学研究.然而固体潮地震预测研究与固体潮地球动力学研究的目标截然不同.地球动力学从大的时间尺度和地球整体运动(包括地球内部及表面的构造运动)来探讨其动力演化过程,进而寻求其驱动机制.固体潮地震预测研究则是研究小时间尺度、区域性地壳构造运动中与地震有关的固体潮异常现象.二者相差甚远.在现行地震预测体系中,固体潮研究也远不能与测震学研究的重要性相比.为什么会出现这种情况?固体潮地震预测研究有什么特点?这些问题的讨论,有助于帮助我们强化地震预测的目标和概念、改进固体潮地震监测技术系统、探索新的数字信号处理方法.     

Interference Testing for Atmospheric HOx Measurements by Laser-induced Fluorescence

Accurate OH and HO₂ (collectively called HO_x) measurements by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) may be contaminated by spurious signals from interfering atmospheric chemicals or from the instrument itself. Interference tests must be conducted to ensure that observed OH signal originates solely from ambient OH and is not due to instrument artifacts. Several tests were performed on the Penn State LIF HO_x instrument, both in the laboratory and in the field. Theseincluded measurements of the instrument's zero signal by using either zero air or perfluoropropylene to remove OH, examination of spectral interferences from naphthalene, sulfur dioxide, and formaldehyde, and tests of interferences by addition of suspected interfering atmospheric chemicals, including ozone, hydrogen peroxide, nitrous acid, formaldehyde, nitric acid, acetone, and organic peroxy radicals (RO₂). All tests lacked evidence ofsignificant interferences for measurements in the atmosphere, including highly polluted urban environments.
