The δ18O data obtained from an 18.7 m ice core drilled in Chongce Ice Cap at an elevation of 6,530 m a.s.l. in the West Kunlun Mountains
on the northern Tibetan Plateau show a strong correlation with the summer temperature of the middle to upper troposphere over
the mid-high latitudes of Eurasia. Based on this, the δ18O record can be used as a proxy of the June–September mean temperature of the mid-upper troposphere (MUT) from 1903 to 1992.
The time span of the ice core record is much longer than the meteorological data available only after 1948. Using the empirical
mode decomposition method (EMD), the δ18O record is decomposed into various frequency components and compared with the solar irradiance variations of the same period.
The results show that (1) The June–September mean temperature of the MUT over Eurasian mid-high latitudes is completely decomposed
into four IMF (intrinsic mode function) components and an increasing trend. (2) Solar irradiance is decomposed into the Schwabe
cycle, the Hale cycle, the Gleissberg cycle, and an increasing trend. (3) The correlation coefficients between the June and
September mean temperatures of the MUT over Eurasian mid-high latitudes and solar irradiance on the longer timescales (at
least more than 11-year) show the significant correlations; their phase changes are basically identical in general, and (4)
the 11-year Schwabe cycle exists in the June–September mean temperature of the MUT over Eurasian mid-high latitudes during
most of the time from 1903 to 1992, and only in the two high-temperature phases (1929–1944 and from 1975 to the present) may
global warming disturb this relation. A full understanding of this phenomenon would shed insight into the potential consequence
of global warming on the MUT. 相似文献
With a detailed study on petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry of some important Ordovician carbonate well core samples in Tazhong uplift of Tarim Basin, the distinguishing symbols of hydrothermal karstification are first put forward as the phenomena of rock hot depigmentation, hot cataclasm and the appearance of typical hydrothermal minerals such as fluorite, barite, pyrite, quartz and sphalerite. The main homogenization temperatures of primary fluid inclusions in fluorite are from 260 to 310°C, indicating the temperature of hydrothermal fluid. The fluid affected the dissolved rocks and showed typical geochemistry features with low contents of Na and Mg, and high contents of Fe, Mn and Si. The ratio of 3He/4He is 0.02Ra, indicating the fluid from the typical continental crust. The hydrothermal fluid karstification pattern may be described as follows: the hot fluid is from the Permian magma, containing dissolving ingredients of CO2 and H2S, and shifts along fault, ruptures and unconformity, and dissolves the surrounding carbonates while it flows. The mechanism of hydrothermal karstification is that the mixture of two or more fluids, which have different ion intensity and pH values, becomes a new unsaturated fluid to carbonates. The hydrothermal karstification is an important process to form hypo-dissolved pinholes in Ordovician carbonates of Tazhong uplift of Tarim Basin, and the forming of hydrothermal minerals also has favorable influence on carbonate reservoirs.
