Role of living environments in the accumulation characteristics of heavy metals in fishes and crabs in the Yangtze River Estuary, China

Correlation of heavy metals in the tissues of typical organisms (i.e., fishes and crabs) and those in their living environments (i.e., surface water, bottom water, and sediment) in Yangtze River Estuary has been qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. Metal levels followed the trend: sediments > Eriocheir sinensis > Eriocheir leptognathus > benthic fish > pelagic fish > bottom water > surface water. Tissues in fishes and crabs of different species and sizes had diverse metal bioaccumulation characteristics, which was significantly affected by environment factors and their living habits. Metal levels in legs of crabs, and heads and skins of fishes showed significant correlations with those in their living environments. Collichthys lucidus is an effective bioindicator for assessing metal levels in water. No significant health risk was identified by the estimated daily intake and target hazard quotients analyses.     

用多普勒雷达资料调整GRAPES模式云参数对短临预报的影响

利用华南一次强降水过程,通过雷达回波反演的云雨水及模式背景场的水汽和根据雨水修订的水汽场对GRAPES模式初始场通过Nuding技术进行调整,试图改善模式的临近预报。模拟结果对比发现,模式初始场通过Nudging技术只订正云水、雨水及水汽场2种情形,对模式雷达回波的临近预报效果都有一定的改善,其中前者对0～3 h的临近预报效果改善明显,而后者对0～6 h的预报效果都有所改善,且后者前3 h的改善效果优于前者。对比模式初始场通过Nuding技术订正修订前后的水汽场的预报效果发现,修订后的水汽场的临近预报效果优于修订前的,尤其4～6 h的差异较明显。分析原因发现,模式初始场中水汽场的修订,尤其是饱和水汽的修订,对模式预报的水汽场有明显影响,从而影响到了环流场,改善了模式的雷达回波和降水的预报。      

Impacts of climate change on glacial water resources and hydrological cycles in the Yangtze River source region, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China: A Progress Report

The Yangtze River Source Region has an area of 137,704 km2.Its mean annual runoff of 12.52 billion m3,which was recorded by the Chumda Hydrological Station in 1961-2000,accounts for only 0.13 percent of the Yangtze River’s total annual streamflow.The extensive rivers,lakes,wetlands,glaciers,snow fields,and permafrost of the Yangtze River Source Region,as well as the region’s vast alpine grasslands,play a critical role in storing and regulating the flow of water not only in the upper Yangtze River watershed of Qinghai,Sichuan,the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) (Tibet) and Yunnan,but also throughout the entire lower Yangtze River basin.Climate change has been the dominant factor in recent fluctuation in the volume of the Yangtze River Source Region’s glacier resources.The Chumda Hydrological Station on the lower Tongtian River has registered a mean annual glacial meltwater of 1.13 billion m3 for the period 1961-2000,makes up 9 percent of the total annual runoff.Glacial meltwater makes up a significant percentage of streamflow in the Yangtze River Source Region,the major rivers of the upper Yangtze River Source Region:the Togto,Dam Chu,Garchu,and Bi Chu (Bu Chu) rivers all originate at large glaciers along the Tanggula Range.Glaciers in the Yangtze River Source Region are typical continental-type glaciers with most glacial meltwater flow occurring June-August;the close correlation between June-August river flows and temperature illustrates the important role of glacial meltwater in feeding rivers.Glaciers in the source region have undergone a long period of rapid ablation beginning in 1993.Examination of flow and temperature data for the 1961-2000 period shows that the annual melting period for glacial ice,snow,and frozen ground in the Yangtze River Source Region now begins earlier because of increasing spring temperatures,resulting in the reduction of summer flood season peak runoffs;meanwhile,increased rates of glacier ablation have resulted in more uneven annual distribution of runoff in the source region.T     

区域模式参考大气扰动量算法的预报试验

引进参考大气方法以降低垂直运动方程中的量级差,并设计了位温直接计算法、气压直接计算法和混合算法三种不同方案来改进预报效果。结果表明,这三种不同方案对500 hPa位势高度和温度的垂直分布的预报有较大影响,其中,混合算法的温度分布预报结果与NCEP分析场最接近。在三种方案的预报效果评估检验中,混合算法对风速、位势高度(hv)、降水量和2 m温度(T2m)的预报效果最好。在三种方案中,平均初始温度场的参考大气廓线的预报效果要优于等温参考大气廓线;在不同的参考大气状态下,混合算法在风速、位势高度、降水量和2 m温度的预报效果最好。      

积云参数化方案中云底质量通量的限制及在高分辨率模式中的应用

对SAS积云参数化方案中的云底质量通量进行限制并将其应用到华南区域高分辨率模式降水预报中,分别对强对流个例和弱对流个例进行模拟和比较,分析了限制云底质量通量之后的积云参数化方案对模式降水预报的影响,并探讨了不同大小的云底质量通量限制对预报结果的敏感性。试验结果表明,对积云参数化方案进行闭合时采用不稳定能量释放假设要比原来的准平衡闭合假设更适用于中小尺度模式。对积云参数化方案的云底质量通量进行限制以后可以有效地消除对流参数化在高分辨率模式中引起的虚假降水,同时又能够合理地引入一些次网格尺度的弱对流的影响,从而改进模式的降水预报效果。敏感性试验结果表明,随着云底质量通量限制程度的变弱,对流参数化方案对模式降水预报的影响会逐渐增强;在一定大小范围内的云底质量通量限制下,强对流个例的总降水量预报结果对于不同大小的限制不如弱对流个例敏感。对两种不同的云底质量通量限制方式进行比较发现,在云底质量通量较大时完全关闭对流参数化方案可以更有效避免对流参数化引起的虚假降水。      

Gravity change observed in a local gravity network and its implication to seasonal precipitation in Dali county,Yunnan province,China

This study investigates data-processing methods and examines the precipitation effect on gravity measurements at the Dali gravity network, established in 2005. High-quality gravity data were collected during four measurement campaigns. To use the gravity data validly, some geophysical corrections must be considered carefully. We first discuss data-processing methods using weighted leastsquares adjustment with the constraint of the absolute gravity datum. Results indicate that the gravity precision can be improved if all absolute gravity data are used as constraints and if calibration functions of relative gravimeters are modeled within the observation function. Using this data-processing scheme, the mean point gravity precision is better than 12 lgal. After determining the best data-processing scheme, we then process the gravity data obtained in the four measurement campaigns, and obtain gravity changes in three time periods. Results show that the gravity has a remarkable change of more than 50 lgal in the first time period from Apr–May of 2005 to Aug–Sept of 2007. To interpret the large gravity change, a mean water mass change(0.6 m in height) is assumed in the ETOPO1 topographic model. Calculations of the precipitation effect on gravity show that it can reach the same order of the observed gravity change. It is regarded as a main source of the remarkable gravity change in the Dali gravity network, suggesting that the precipitation effect on gravity measurements must be considered carefully.

Geochronology and Geochemistry of Mafic Dikes from Hainan Island and Tectonic Implications

Abstract: In the present study, the major and trace element compositions, as well as Sr, Nd isotopic compositions and K-Ar age data in mafic dikes from Hainan Island, China, have been analyzed. Whole-rock K-Ar dating yielded a magmatic duration of 61–98 Ma for mafic dikes. Mafic dikes have a very high concentration of incompatible elements, for example, Ba, Rb, Sr, K, rare earth elements, and especially light rare earth elements (LREE), and negative anomalies of Nb, Ta, and Ti in the normalized trace element patterns. The initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios and εSr(t) of the mafic dikes are 0.70634–0.71193 and +27.7 to +112.2, respectively. In the 87Sr/86Sr versus εNd(t) diagram, the Hainan Island mafic dikes plot between fields for depleted mantle and enriched mantle type 2. All these characteristics show that the mantle (source region) of mafic dikes in this area experienced metasomatism by fluids relatively enriched in LREE and large ion lithophile elements. The genesis of Hainan Island mafic dikes is explained as a result of the mixing of asthenospheric mantle with lithospheric mantle that experienced metasomatism by the subduction of the Pacific Plate. This is different from the Hainan Island Cenozoic basalts mainly derived from depleted asthenospheric mantle, and possibly, minor metasomatised lithospheric mantle. This study suggests that the Mesozoic and Cenozoic lithospheric revolutions in Hainan Island can be divided into three stages: (1) the compression orogenesis stage before 98 Ma. The dominant factor during this stage is the subduction of the ancient Pacific Plate beneath this area. The lithospheric mantle changed into enriched mantle type 2 by metasomatism; (2) the thinning and extension stage during 61–98 Ma. The dominant factor during this stage is that the asthenospheric mantle invaded and corroded the lithospheric mantle; and (3) the large-scale thinning and extension stage after 61 Ma. The large-scale asthenospheric upwelling results in the strong erupting of Cenozoic basalts, large-scale thinning of the lithosphere, the southward translating and counterclockwise rotating of Hainan Island, and the opening of the South China Sea.
