A numerical study of the influence of urban expansion on monthly climate in dry autumn over the Pearl River Delta, China

Summary In this study, we employed a regional model to simulate the impact of urban expansion on monthly climate in Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. Two experiments were performed by prescribing two different land covers in the PRD region. One land cover represents vegetation in the 1970s which is derived from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) data with 24-category (hereafter referred to as NU). The other land cover represents the current urban condition which is derived from remote sensing data acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in 2004 (hereafter referred to as HU). Using the two land cover datasets, monthly climate of October 2004 was simulated, which was a very dry season in the PRD region. The results obtained from the numerical simulation show a distinct difference in simulated shelter-level temperature, humidity, surface fluxes and the height of planetary boundary layer (PBL) with two different land cover data sets being specified. The maximum difference in simulated monthly mean temperature over urban areas was 0.9 °C. A large temperature difference was found in urbanized area in Guangzhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan and Shenzhen. The monthly mean relative humidity in urban areas decreased by 1.4% as a result of urban expansion (from 59.2% in NU to 57.8% in HU). The maximum decrease in mixing ratio was 0.4 g/kg in Guangzhou and Dongguan, whereas the maximum decrease in relative humidity was 2.4%. There was an increase of sensible heat flux in developed lands and the maximum increase was 90 W m⁻². In contrast, latent hear flux in urban area decreased and the maximum decrease was 300 W m⁻². In addition, the increase in mean height of PBL ranged from 20 to 80 m (HU compared with NU), and the maximum change of the height was 180 m over urban area in city of Guangzhou.     

基于2014年康定6.3级地震震后形变分析区域介质特征

以2014年康定6.3级地震震后InSAR形变资料为约束,采用三层粘弹性地震周期模型及遗传算法反演鲜水河断裂南东段的康定地震震区深部介质粘弹性层厚度及粘滞系数。最优拟合结果表明：1）该区域下地壳粘弹性层厚度为5 km,粘滞系数为9.9×10¹⁷ Pa·s,且断层两侧下地壳流变存在显著的横向不均一性。2）将断层两侧分别反演,显示断层南西盘下地壳粘滞系数（8.7×10¹⁷ Pa·s）略小于断层北东盘下地壳粘滞系数（1.2×10¹⁸ Pa·s）。     

渤海湾盆地形成与华北克拉通破坏

渤海湾盆地是一个中、新生代盆地,位于华北克拉通的东部地块上,是华北克拉通破坏的中心区域。渤海湾盆地的结构、构造记录了华北克拉通破坏的构造过程。文章综合10a来据三维地震资料揭示的渤海湾盆地构造,和20a来渤海湾盆地周边华北克拉通区域中、新生代构造和地球化学研究成果,系统提出华北克拉通破坏期间,渤海湾盆地深、浅部的构造机制分别为:中生代浅部构造机制是挤出构造成因,深部构造机制为局部有限的拆沉+底侵模式;新生代构造机制是北西向壳内伸展机制,与印度和欧亚板块碰撞激发的软流圈的东扩远程效应和太平洋俯冲带的跃迁式东撤的联合效应——区域性"西进东退"的深部机制有关。     

2006年7月3日黄淮地区大暴雨过程分析

利用地面和高空常规气象观测资料及全省自动站逐时观测风场资料、MM5中尺度数值模拟资料、多普勒天气雷达观测资料,对2006年7月3日发生在黄淮地区的大暴雨过程进行分析和模拟.结果表明:这次暴雨是由高空低涡前部强盛西南暖湿急流与地面生成的中气旋影响造成的;切变线两侧大气层结的强烈不稳定对形成此次短时暴雨有重要促进作用;此次临沂市短时暴雨是由低空切变线上生成的中β尺度气旋东移影响的;在有利的大尺度环流背景下,可利用数值预报产品预估过程集中影响时段,结合卫星云图资料范围大,雷达回波探测性强,自动站资料实时性、灵活性强等优点,进一步作好短时暴雨的临近预警预报,提高短时暴雨的预报提前量,努力降低短时暴雨造成的经济损失.

Numerical simulations of ice accumulation under ice cover along a river bend

In this paper, the k-? two-equation turbulence model has been used to simulate ice accumulation under ice cover along a river bend. A 2D depth-averaged numerical model has been developed in a nonorthogonal coordinate system with nonstaggered curvilinear grids. In this model, the contravariant velocity has been treated as an independent variable. To avoid the pressure oscillation in the nonstaggered grids, the momentum interpolation has been introduced to interpolate variables at the interface. The discretization equations have been solved by using pressure correction algorithms. An equation has been developed for describing the deformation of ice jam bottom. The thickness distribution of ice accumulation (ice jam) along the bend has been simulated. The developed model has been applied to the experimental studies under different conditions carried out at the Hefei University of Technology. Results indicate that all simulated thickness of ice accumulation agrees reasonably well with the measured thickness of ice accumulation in laboratory.     

A fast algorithm of cartographic sounding selection

An effective strategy and framework that adequately integrate the automated and manual processes for fast cartographic sounding selection is presented. The important submarine topographic features are extracted for important soundings selection, and an improved “ influence circle” algorithm is introduced for sounding selection. For automatic configuration of soundings distribution pattern, a special algorithm considering multi-factors is employed. A semi-automatic method for solving the ambiguous conflicts is described. On the basis of the algorithms and strategies a system named HGIS for fast cartographic sounding selection is developed and applied in Chinese Marine Safety Administration Bureau （CMSAB）. The application experiments show that the system is effective and reliable. At last some conclusions and the future work are given.     

长白山天池地区全新世以来火山活动及其特征

长白山火山全新世规模最大的喷发活动发生在公元1199-1200年,即800年前的大爆发,被确定为普林尼或布里尼(Plinian)式喷发。这次大爆发形成体积巨大的、分布广泛的以空中降落堆积物为主的火山喷发碎屑堆积物,在长白山火山周围,远至日本都留下了地质记录。文章辨认并划分了这次大爆发火山碎屑物的成因类型:火山喷发空中降落堆积物(airfalltephra)、火山碎屑流(pyroclasticflow)状堆积物和火山泥流(lahar)堆积物,并且点、面结合,近、远和国内、国外兼顾,分析了这些火山碎屑物的主要特征、分布和相互关系,进而确定这些火山碎屑物分别属于两次普林尼式爆发。第1次(早期)普林尼式爆发称赤峰期,火山喷发模式为:普林尼式喷发柱(赤峰空落浮岩层)-火山碎屑流(长白山火山碎屑流层),随即主要由火山碎屑流诱发火山泥流(二道白河火山泥流层);第2次(晚期)普林尼式爆发称园池期,喷发模式为:普林尼式喷发柱(园池空落浮岩火山灰层)-火山碎屑流(冰场火山碎屑流层)。在层序上将气象站期碱流岩置于800年前大爆发火山碎屑物之下是正确的,其时代为晚更新世-全新世早期。
