Semiannual velocity variations around the 2008 M w 7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake fault zone revealed by ambient noise and ACROSS active source data

We continuously monitor the long-term seismic velocity variation of one of the major ruptured faults of the devastating 2008 M _w 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake in China from July 2009 to January 2012, jointly using accurately controlled routinely operated signal system active source and seismic noise-based monitoring technique. Our measurements show that the temporal velocity change is not homogeneous and highly localized in the damaged fault zone and the adjacent areas. Velocity variations from the active and passive methods are quite consistent, which both are characterized by ±0.2 % seasonal variation, with peak and trough at winter and summer, respectively. The periodic velocity variation within fault zone exhibits remarkably positive correlation with barometric pressure with stress sensitivity in the order of 10^?6 Pa^?1, suggesting that the plausible mechanism might be the crack density variation of the shallow subsurface medium of the damaged fault zone in response to the cyclic barometric pressure loading.     

通量上边界与水头上边界方法的地下水流系统模拟对比

水头上边界方法（简称水头法,GHB）给定了潜水面形态和固化了排泄点,限制了不同地下水流系统模式的形成与转化。分别用数值法进行了通量上边界（简称通量法,FUB）与水头上边界的地下水流系统对比模拟。结果表明：嵌套式多级地下水流系统（Tóth典型模式）在运用水头法和通量法进行系统转化模拟时,得出的水流模式可能相似或完全不同;通量法在条件（盆地形态、入渗强度等）改变时潜水面能够自动形成,从而得出不同变化条件下的水流系统特征;水头法由于给定了潜水面和固化了排泄点,在改变盆地其他因素时,盆地补给（排泄）也发生同步改变,此时地下水流模式不是单因素变化的结果,因此在给定条件下不能得出完整的地下水流系统变化模式。基于通量法与水头法在地下水流系统模拟中的优势与不同,在进行盆地地下水流系统理论和实际研究时,应该综合2种方法的特点,结合实际资料条件进行方法的选取与应用。     

芦山MS 7. 0 地震前近震源区地形变熵特征研究

2013 年4 月20 日芦山MS7.0地震是继2008年汶川MS8.0地震后发生在龙门山断裂带的又一强震,与汶川地震相似,该震临震前在近震源区未观测到显著的异常变化。为研究其临震前形变特征,本文根据信息熵理论对芦山MS7.0地震前近震源区的连续形变观测资料进行了年变熵率值分析,并研究其时序上的分布特征。结果表明,震前近震源区台站地倾斜形变熵均表现出减熵现象,时序的年尺度熵结果表明,汶川MS8.0地震对芦山MS7.0地震具有一定的触发作用,且震中区的EW 向和NS 向分量具有高度一致的熵变趋势。     

Numerical study on wave propagation over a fluid-mud layer with different bottom conditions

Wave decay over a muddy seabed has been widely reported. In previous studies, the fluid-mud layer is usually treated as a homogeneous layer with a certain thickness lying on the rigid bottom. However, the muddy seabed beneath a fluid-mud layer is usually movable in practice. This study aims to find out the influence of the movable seabed beneath a fluid-mud layer. For this purpose, a numerical model for wave propagation over a multilayered muddy seabed is developed, in which water is treated as a Newtonian fluid, and the rheology of mud is described by a visco-elastic–plastic model. The laboratory experiments of Sakakiyama and Bijker (J Waterw Port Coast Ocean Eng 115(5):614–633, 1989) are chosen to validate the numerical model. The model is then employed to investigate the movement of a fluid-mud layer with different conditions of the underlying mud layer and its influence on wave decay. It is found that the underlying mud layer plays a very important role in the wave–mud interaction and greatly affects the wave decay rate.     

西北太平洋台风尺度与强度变化之间关系初探

为探究西北太平洋台风尺度对台风强度变化的影响,从美国联合台风预警中心(JTWC)2006—2015年最优路径(best track)观测资料中筛选出快速增强和非快速增强两类台风样本,采用台风最大风速半径(RMW)、34 kn(1 kn=0.51 m/s)风速等值线半径(AR34)和最外围闭合等压线半径(ROCI)三个尺度参数,初步分析了台风尺度与强度变化之间的关系。结果表明:内核尺度(RMW和AR34)与台风强度变化之间存在显著负相关,而外核尺度(ROCI)与台风强度变化之间的相关性较弱。经历和未经历快速增强过程的两类台风的初始尺度,前者显著小于后者。可以使用RMW和AR34代表的尺度参数来辅助中小尺度台风的强度预报和快速增强过程的预测。

Remote sensing-based dynamic monitoring and environmental change of wetlands in southern Mongolian Plateau in 2000–2018

The environmental change in the wetlands in the southern Mongolian Plateau has important impacts on the environment of North China and even the entire Northeast Asia, from which the global climate change can be understood on a large scale, especially the climate change in the Mongolian Plateau. This study extracted the information on the wetlands from three stages of remote sensing images (also referred to as RS images) of the study area, including Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) images of 2000, TM images of 2010, and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) images of 2018. As indicated by the extraction results, the area of wetlands decreased from 796.90 km² of 2000 to 666.24 km² of 2018 at a rate of 7.26 km²/a. The reduced area is 130.66 km², which is about 16.4% reduction. And the patch number of wetlands decreased from 731 of 2000 to 316 of 2018 in the study area, approximately 56.8% reduction (415 patches), and the decrease in the area of the wetlands mainly occurred in the northwest endorheic region. In terms of wetland types, the change of the wetlands was dominated by the decrease of lacustrine wetlands, of which the area and patch number decreased by 106.2 km² and 242, respectively. Furthermore, the area of the lacustrine wetlands decreased at the highest rate of 8.70 km²/a in 2010–2018. From the perspective of spatial distribution, the wetlands in the western part shrunk more notably than those in the eastern part as a whole in the study area. According to local meteorological data, the precipitation gently decreased and the temperature increased (about 1.7^°C) from 1975–2018. Overall, the decrease in the area of the wetlands and the temperature rises in the study area were mainly driven by the Mongolian monsoon climate, reduction in precipitation, and human activities.
