The impact of high altitude aircraft on the ozone layer in the stratosphere

The paper discusses the potential effects on the ozone layer of gases released by the engines of proposed high altitude supersonic aircraft. The major problem arises from the emissions of nitrogen oxides which have the potential to destroy significant quantities of ozone in the stratosphere. The magnitude of the perturbation is highly dependent on the cruise altitude of the aircraft. Furthermore, the depletion of ozone is substantially reduced when heterogeneous conversion of nitrogen oxides into nitric acid on sulfate aerosol particles is taken into account in the calculation. The sensitivity of the aerosol load on stratospheric ozone is investigated. First, the model indicates that the aerosol load induced by the SO₂ released by aircraft is increased by about 10–20% above the background aerosols at mid-high latitude of the Northern Hemisphere at 15 km for the NASA emission scenario A (the NASA emission scenarios are explained in Tables I to III). This increase in aerosol has small effects on stratospheric ozone. Second, when the aerosol load is increased following a volcanic eruption similar to the eruption of El Chichon (Mexico, April 1982), the ozone column in spring increases by as much as 9% in response to the injection of NO _x from the aircraft with the NASA emission scenario A. Finally, the modeled suggests that significant ozone depletion could result from the formation of additional polar stratospheric clouds produced by the injection of H₂O and HNO₃ by the aircraft engines.     

中国西北地区降水的演变趋势和年际变化

将 PCA和 SSA相结合 ,分析了中国西北地区降水量的演变趋势和年际变化 ,结果表明 :西北地区的降水变化的主要趋势是 1 960年代初多雨 ,到 1 970年代初演变为少雨 ,1 980年代又多雨 ,1 990年代少雨。这种趋势在陇南和陕西中南部是最显著的 ,天山北麓区也是相对显著区。西北地区降水主要存在准 8.5a、准 3～ 4a和准 5.1 a的甚低频振荡。甚低频振荡在降水中的重要性依次为准 8.5a、准 3～ 4a和准 5.1 a。准 8.5a振荡的振幅要比准 3～ 4a和准5.1 a振荡的振幅变化大。振荡位相在空间的分布并不完全一致。

我国西北干燥区地面气象站观测环境代表性思考

气候观测环境代表性和观测资料质量是开展大尺度气候变化监测和研究的前提。为了解我国干燥区气象观测环境变化和台站代表性,作者对河西走廊和北疆九个国家级气象站观测环境开展了调研。本文介绍了调研了解到的情况,并结合先前研究结果,从气候变化监测和研究的视角,讨论了西北干燥区地面观测站代表性问题。目前我国西北地区气象站地面观测,对于干燥区的城市和绿洲区域气候及其变化,具有较高的代表性,但对更广大的荒漠和半荒漠背景气候及其变化,代表性仍显不足。作者发现,早先研究中指出的北疆等地区城镇站地面气温序列负向城市化影响,应与观测场周围局地甚至区域尺度绿洲扩大有直接联系,较难反映绿洲以外干燥区地带性气温变化。针对地面观测环境调研所发现的问题,文章最后提出了几点建议,希望对未来国家基准气候站网设计和建设提供一定参考。

The changes of vegetation cover in Ejina Oasis based on water resources redistribution in Heihe River

The Ejina Oasis (EO), located in arid northwest China, is a typical arid area in the world. The ecosystem in the oasis has become worse since the 1990s. However, it began to improve after the Chinese government took the mandatory measure to redistribute the water in Heihe in 2000. To understand this change, the remote sensing images in 1990, 2000 and 2006 were selected, and exertion related Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) model was employed. Results showed that: (1) non-vegetation cover was the main body of the vegetation cover in oasis, showing a trend of increase at the beginning and diminution later, while low, medium and high vegetation cover was the other way around; (2) the area of low, medium and high vegetation cover in 2006 was less than that in 1990; the status and trend index P _t of oasis vegetation cover was 0.62 in 1990–2000, which means that the oasis ecosystem of Ejina was getting worse and was under an unbalanced status; P _t was 0.27 in 2000–2006 indicating that the oasis ecosystem was restored obviously and the whole system tended to be balanced; (3) all of these changes should be attributed to the water resources redistribution in Heihe River, which played a leading role, as well as the measures and relevant policies taken by the local government, which promoted the rapid recovery of the medium and high vegetation.     

动态高压下陨石矿物的冲击熔融和分离结晶及其地球化学意义

应用近代微束矿物学分析测试技术,对在中国陨落的随州、寺巷口和岩庄等三块球粒陨石中矿物的冲击熔融和分离结晶作用进行了较系统的研究。查明存在有硅酸盐单矿物熔体、硅酸盐矿物混合熔体和全岩熔体三种组成不同的冲击熔体。研究结果显示:(1)三种熔融相与未熔相之间在主成分和微量元素组成上没有明显差别,说明它们是原地熔融的产物,但在较大的冲击熔块中,也发现冲击熔融作用引发了一部分元素,如亲铁元素、硒元素和轻重稀土元素的分异现象;(2)查明Al2O3、Cr2O3、Na2O和CaO等优先进入从冲击熔体结晶的辉石常压相或辉石的高压相——镁铁榴石(属地幔过渡带矿物)中;(3)Al元素能进入阿基莫石(即辉石的钛铁矿结构相,属下地幔矿物)中,以固熔体形式稳定下来。ELNES的测定查明,其氧化铁组分中Fe3+/∑Fe的比值高达0.67(3);(4)陨石全岩熔体中硅酸盐相与金属-硫化物相之间为完全不混熔,后者以孤立的共结体团块产于硅酸盐熔体之中,除Zn、Na、Cr、Co和Cu在硫化物相中和Na在金属相中有明显富集外,其他元素的浓度则无明显变化;(5)在寺巷口陨石熔脉的金属-硫化物共结团块内发现了FeNi金属-硫化铁-磁铁矿组合,进一步证实了S和O等轻元素可以加入到以Fe-Ni金属为主要组成的地核成分中去;(6)在岩庄陨石的FeNi金属-硫化铁共结体团块的硫化铁内发现了Na、Mn和Fe的磷酸盐矿物小球体,说明P和Na、Mn等元素也能成为地核的组成元素。以上研究在行星演化、地幔矿物学和地球化学,以及陨石学研究上均有着重要的科学意义。
