Observational Subseasonal Variability of the PM2.5 Concentration in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area during the January 2021 Sudden Stratospheric Warming

It is still not well understood if subseasonal variability of the local PM_2.5 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region is affected by the stratospheric state. Using PM_2.5 observations and the ERA5 reanalysis, the evolution of the air quality in BTH during the January 2021 sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) is explored. The subseasonal variability of the PM_2.5 concentration after the SSW onset is evidently enhanced. Stratospheric circumpolar easterly anomalies lasted for 53 days during the January–February 2021 SSW with two evident stratospheric pulses arriving at the ground. During the tropospheric wave weakening period and the intermittent period of dormant stratospheric pulses, the East Asian winter monsoon weakened, anomalous temperature inversion developed in the lower troposphere, anomalous surface southerlies prevailed, atmospheric moisture increased, and the boundary layer top height lowered, all of which favor the accumulation of pollutant particulates, leading to two periods of pollution processes in the BTH region. In the phase of strengthened East Asian winter monsoon around the very beginning of the SSW and another two periods when stratospheric pulses had reached the near surface, opposite-signed circulation patterns and meteorological conditions were observed, which helped to dilute and diffuse air pollutants in the BTH region. As a result, the air quality was excellent during the two periods when the stratospheric pulse had reached the near surface. The increased subseasonal variation of the regional pollutant particulates after the SSW onset highlights the important role of the stratosphere in the regional environment and provides implications for the environmental prediction.     

Interannual variability of the sea surface salinity and its related freshwater flux in the tropical Pacific: A comparison of CMIP5 and CMIP6

This paper assesses the interannual variabilities of simulated sea surface salinity (SSS) and freshwater flux (FWF) in the tropical Pacific from phases 5 and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5 and CMIP6). The authors focus on comparing the simulated SSS and FWF responses to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from two generations of models developed by the same group. The results show that CMIP5 and CMIP6 models can perform well in simulating the spatial distributions of the SSS and FWF responses associated with ENSO, as well as their relationship. It is found that most CMIP6 models have improved in simulating the geographical distribution of the SSS and FWF interannual variability in the tropical Pacific compared to CMIP5 models. In particular, CMIP6 models have corrected the underestimation of the spatial relationship of the FWF and SSS variability with ENSO in the central-western Pacific. In addition, CMIP6 models outperform CMIP5 models in simulating the FWF interannual variability (spatial distribution and intensity) in the tropical Pacific. However, as a whole, CMIP6 models do not show improved skill scores for SSS interannual variability, which is due to their overestimation of the intensity in some models. Large uncertainties exist in simulating the interannual variability of SSS among CMIP5 and CMIP6 models and some improvements with respect to physical processes are needed.摘要通过比较CMIP5和CMIP6来自同一个单位两代模式模拟, 表明CMIP5和CMIP6均能较好地模拟出热带太平洋的海表盐度 (SSS) 和淡水通量 (FWF) 对ENSO响应的分布及其响应间的关系. 与CMIP5模式相比, 大部份CMIP6模式模拟的SSS和FWF年际变化分布均呈现改进, 特别是纠正了较低的中西太平洋SSS和FWF变化的空间关系. 但是, 整体上, CMIP6模式模拟的SSS年际变化技巧没有提高, 与SSS年际变率的强度被高估有关. CMIP5和CMIP6模式模拟SSS的年际变化还存在较大的不确定性, 在物理方面需要改进.

ANALYSIS OF SETTLEMENT PATTERNS DURING NEOLITHIC AND BRONZE PERIOD AND ITS INFLUENCING FACTORS IN HUALONG COUNTY, QINGHAI PROVINCE,CHINA

依据青海省化隆县考古调查获得的新石器-青铜时代(5.3～2.6kaB.P.)的遗址位置和面积,尝试利用聚落等级和等级规模的方法分析该县新石器-青铜时代的聚落形态演变过程,并结合研究区周边地区的全新世气候记录和考古研究资料分析其可能的影响因素.结果显示:马家窑文化时期(5.4～4.0kaB.P.),化隆县出现具有一定人口规模和整合的聚落系统,可能与适宜气候背景下,农业快速发展导致的人口流动有关;齐家文化时期(4.2～3.8kaB.P.),化隆县人口规模未发生显著变化,没有出现聚落等级,聚落系统结构简单,各聚落之间为平等竞争关系,可能与区域聚落分布梅征改变有关;3.6～2.5kaB.P.,化隆县人口规模增加,三级等级聚落系统明显整合,可能是卡约文化的农业生产水平和生计方式适应气候变化的结果.因此,气候变化、生计模式和人口流动是化隆县新石器-青铜时代聚落形态演变和社会组织结构发展的主要原因.     

震后茂县牟托村堆积物特征与植被分布关系

"5·12"大地震后,茂县牟托地区的地形地貌和生态系统受到很大的破坏。本文对茂县牟托地区典型斜坡的植物生长状况、土壤颗粒组成、土壤含水率进行了调查分析,获得了土壤颗粒大小、渗透性、含水率与植物生长之间的关系;研究表明,土壤颗粒组成中,细颗粒所占比例越高,其渗透系数越小,土壤含水率越大,植物的生长状况愈佳;土壤细颗粒所占比例相近的情况下,含水率高的地区植物生长好。根据研究成果,结合生态恢复的技术和方案实施的安全性以及可行性,提出水泥喷灌、修筑挡水阶梯和排水沟、种植植物等生态恢复的方案以及保持斜坡稳定的措施。     

利用地震属性分析沉积环境的误区:以辽河盆地滩海东部凹陷东二段为例

为了解辽河盆地滩海地区东二段沉积相类型,通过现代河流沉积调研以及岩心、测井、地震相综合分析,结果证明:滩海地区东二段沉积相类型主要以滨浅湖-滩坝相为主,而非地震属性图所反映的河流相沉积,地震属性解释存在误区。古沉积环境解释最重要的因素就是如何理解"保存"的概念。河流在自身演化过程中迁移、改道时常发生,在漫长的地质时间内,难以保存一个完整的河道。沉积环境分析中,应当遵循从岩心相—测井相—地震相的分析过程,而不是单纯依据地震属性直接进行沉积相研究。     

全球沉积盆地动态分类方法:从原型盆地及其叠加发展过程讨论

沉积盆地是油气生成和聚集的基本地质单元,其形成和发展为板块构造演化所控制,主要表现在两个方面,一是板块从分离到汇聚的不同阶段、板块的不同位置,产生不同的原型盆地,形成了特定的构造-沉积体系,决定了其生、储、盖等基本含油气条件;二是后期叠加的原型盆地不但本身具有新的油气地质特征,还能够改变早期原型盆地的成藏条件及油气分布规律。以板块构造演化历史为时间线索,通过对现今盆地早期原型及其后期叠加改造过程的系统解剖,用动态方法将全球处于一个威尔逊旋回的现今盆地划分为12种类型。在此基础上,总结了各类盆地的基本属性及含油气条件,为科学预测各类盆地的含油气远景奠定了基础。     

深部围岩流变特性试验研究及其模型辨识

采用分级增量循环加卸载方式,对湖南湘煤集团牛马司矿业公司水井头煤矿-300m东大巷二煤层底板粉砂岩进行了单轴蠕变特性试验,详细探讨了轴向蠕变变形特征,蠕变速率与时间和应力水平的关系,瞬时弹性模量和变形模量变化特征.试验结果表明,当应力水平低于岩石的长期强度时,粉砂岩只发生衰减蠕变,应力水平对蠕变速率变化的影响不明显;当应力水平高于岩石的长期强度时,岩石等速蠕变阶段明显.对流变试验数据进行深入分析的基础上,进行了流变模型辨识和基于最小二乘法的参数确定.根据不同应力水平下加卸载过程中岩石的蠕变特点,提出了采用改进的两原模型模拟岩石的蠕变特性.模型计算结果表明,改进后的西元模型既能够较好地描述低应力下的衰减蠕变,又能较精确地描述高应力下岩石的衰减蠕变和等速蠕变特性.
