Characterization of Frequency and Aggregation of the Antarctic Krill (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Euphausia superba</Emphasis>) Using Acoustics

In this study, the dB difference and characteristics of krill swarms inhabiting Subarea 48.1, which includes the west and south of the South Shetland Island and the Elephant Island peripheries, were estimated to distinguish Antarctic krill, using acoustics. From April 13 to 24, 2016, acoustic data were collected along 24 survey lines using the frequencies 38 and 120 kHz, and middle trawling was performed at 7 stations. Using the difference between the dB values of two volume backscattering strength (Sv) frequencies (38 and 120 kHz), a clear acoustic distinction could be made between Antarctic krill (4.9 to 12.0 dB) and fish (?4.0 to ?0.2 dB). The distributions and mean Sv of krill swarms in the Elephant Island peripheries and south of South Shetland Island were higher than those in the west of South Shetland Island. The mean length/ height ratio of krill swarms in the west of the South Shetland Island (64.5) was higher than that in the south (35.9) and the Elephant Island peripheries (33.8), with the length of the aggregations exceeding their height. Most krill swarms were distributed between the surface layer (less than 10 m below sea level) and within 200 m of water depth. These results are expected to serve as baseline data for evaluating krill density and biomass by distinguishing them from fish, using acoustics.

GLDAS_NOAH_M.2.1水文模型在青藏高原的适定性分析

利用2003-01~2016-06共162个月 GLDAS_NOAH_M.2.1、GLDAS_NOAH_M.001新旧水文模型和GRACE卫星重力数据,计算青藏高原区域水储量及总质量变化,说明GLDAS_NOAH_M.2.1水文模型相对于旧模型可提升在青藏高原区域的精度。将研究区域分为6个部分,根据3种数据分别计算6个区域的平均质量变化时间序列,顾及年周期、半年周期对该时间序列进行最小二乘拟合,估计6个区域3种数据的年振幅、年相位及相关性。结果表明,GLDAS_NOAH_M.2.1水储量变化的年振幅、年相位与GRACE总质量变化的年振幅、年相位空间分布大体一致,在青藏高原北部区域与GRACE的相关性尤为明显;GLDAS_NOAH_M.001年振幅、年相位在青藏高原北部区域存在明显异常,与GRACE的相关性很低。从长趋势质量变化来看, GLDAS新、旧模型在不同区域的差异为-6.4~4.5 Gt/a量级,而在青藏高原主体区域,新模型的质量趋势偏低10.4 Gt/a。     

暴雨系统中环境涡度场与散度场之间相互关系

观测事实和理论研究表明,暴雨系统的形成和发展与环境涡度和散度的分布和演变有十分密切的关系。因此用涡度方程和散度方程来诊断和分析流场结构比其它方程(如动量方程)更为直接,物理意义也更加清楚,这就吸引气象学者把它用于分析实践。如Matsumoto等用完全涡度方程和散度方程各项来诊断中尺度系统发展过程中对流活动的作用;Schaefer选取散度方程中与发展有关的项来诊断未来风暴的发生,发现其相关率可达90％以上。我国学者也研究过散度方程各项的大小以及某些重要项对暴雨形成的作用。鉴于涡度方程和散度方程在气象中常采用其近似关系式,故本文对方程各项进行     

梅雨锋中大振幅重力波的活动及其与环境场的关系

本文分析了梅雨锋暴雨过程中中-β尺度大振幅惯性重力波的活动及其与环境场的关系。突发性降水所构成的雨峰线能表征这类波的活动,重力波平均波长为200km,振幅2hPa。周期6—8h,移速为60—80km/h,强降水全部位于中尺度气压波槽后和脊前的辐合区内,波动的传播方向各异,靠近低空急流的波动大体沿低层盛行风方向传播;有的则受中尺度散度场移动、变化的影响;或受冷锋前先期到达的冷涌性中尺度锋区的影响,并与它一起移动。这类短波活动对环境风场的影响是:它破坏近地层的急流状结构和日变化,却使对流层中、下层环境风增强,急流轴上抬以至消失,这类短波活动使大尺度风场获得能量。

Determining Paleosol Topography Using Seismic Refraction

The seismic refraction reversed profiling technique has been used to investigate the topography of the last interglacial soil (paleosol S1) within the central Chinese Loess Plateau near Xifeng. The results suggest an essentially flat-lying soil at a depth which varies by only a few meters over an area of more than 10 km². In addition, the results indicate a high-velocity layer at 50-60 m depth which is thought to coincide with a layer of carbonate concretions at the base of paleosol S5. The results agree well with the local loess-paleosol stratigraphy for this area and indicate that the seismic refraction method is a rapid technique for investigating paleotopography.     

Gravity waves on the axis of low level jet and their instability

Using the wind data at mountain stations, gravity waves on the axis of low level jet and their relation to rain clusters have been studied by means of the spectrum method. It is found that the spectrum densities of both wind and rainfall reach their maximums at the period of 8 h and the module between wind and rainfall also reach the maximum in that range. Both observation and theoretical study give the same con-clusion that the unstable development of gravity waves depends not only on the atmospheric stratification but also on the vertical shear of the environmental wind. The appearance of the jet-shape vertical profile of wind is favourable for the unstable development of gravity waves. The lower the height of the axis, the larger the growth rate of amplitude.
