The onset time interval of geomagnetic disturbances in the conjugate areas

The onset time interval of geomagnetic disturbances, as deduced from the numerous cases of rapid changes of K-indices over a cycle in solar activity, was studied for two conjugate auroral stations, Macquarie Island and College. There is a distinct peak in the occurrence number of the disturbances for both stations at an interval 09.00–12.00 U.T., which is close to the local midnight at College but is in the pre-midnight sector at Macquarie Island. For comparison, a similar study was applied to the magnetic data obtained at two more auroral stations, Kiruna and Sodankyla. The onset time of the disturbances for these stations was most frequent at 18.00–21.00 U.T., centered at the conjugate midnight of Kiruna and Sodankyla in the Southern Hemisphere but well ahead of the local midnight of the stations themselves. The specific diurnal occurrences of the disturbances at all four auroral stations are consistent with a difference in the geometry between the southern and northern auroral ovals. It appears that the prevailing onset time of geomagnetic disturbances is associated with the time when both conjugate stations (or conjugate locations) are within the auroral oval and thus accessible to a direct particle influx from the Earth's magnetotail.     

气候变暖背景下祁连山西部山区水循环要素的变化——以疏勒河干流上游山区为例

根据祁连山区西部托勒气象站与疏勒河上游昌马堡水文站、鱼儿红雨量站的气温、降水、径流等观测数据,对近50年来疏勒河山区流域气温、降水、径流等水循环要素的变化特征与趋势进行了分析.结果表明,近50年来祁连西部山区年平均气温呈持续上升的态势,并在1990年代中期后出现一个突变,突变后气温上升速率较突变前明显加快.从气温的季节变化上看,冬季升温的幅度明显大于其他各季,从气温的区域变化来看,中低山地带的气温升幅要大于中高山地带.分析结果还显示,祁连山区西部年降水量总体上亦呈增长的态势,但年际波动比较剧烈.少雨年主要在1990年代以前,多雨年在近20 a;从季节变化上看,夏季降水量变化比较稳定,增减趋势不明显,其他各季降水量均有明显的上升趋势,冬季降水量增幅明显.受降水与气温加速上升所带来的冰雪融水增加的影响,疏勒河出山径流的年平均与四季流量亦呈显著增加的态势.考虑到山区夏季降水并未增加,故占年径流量比重较大的夏季径流量的增加主要是冰雪融水的贡献.     

LA CHINE EST-ELLE PLACEE ENTRE DEUX GRANDES FRACTURES DE LA CROUTE TERRESTRE ?

Hest bien clair que toute reponse a cette question, sera du plus haut interet pour les geologues de la Chine, vu que les resultats de la geodesie semblent bien indiquer que la croute terrestre est divisee en plusieurs blocs independants, juxtaposes et equilibres isostatiquement.

东昆仑东段杨树沟金矿地质特征及找矿方向

杨树沟金矿位于东昆仑成矿省伯喀里克-香日德印支期金、铅、锌、铁、石墨（铜、稀有、稀土）成矿带的东段.矿体严格受近东西向、北东向断裂构造控制.成矿类型为构造蚀变岩型金矿床,成矿时代为印支早期.矿区中已发现的金矿带深部及矿区东南部断裂发育地区具有较好的找矿空间,下一步工作应针对含矿构造破碎带,采用探矿工程与化探工作相结合等手段开展矿区东南部及深部找矿工作,寻找金矿体,争取该矿区找矿的更大突破.     

Relating a recruitment shift of Patagonian grenadier (Macruronus magellanicus Lönnberg) to large-scale environmental changes off Southern Chile

The SE Pacific stock of Patagonian grenadier (Macruronus magellanicus) showed evidence of an abrupt reduction in recruitment after 2000. This drop exceeded expectations from changes in the spawning stock biomass (SSB), indicating a change in the stock-recruitment relationship (S-R). We evaluated whether variability in recruitment could be explained by concurrent changes in three environmental indices: sea-surface temperature anomaly (SSTA); southern oscillation index (SOI); and latitudinal position of the west wind drift bifurcation (WWDL). Continuous and discrete effects of these indices were tested as covariates in linear log-log and non-linear Ricker's S-R models. Discrete effects represented regime shifts detected in SSTA (1998), SOI (1998) and WWDL (1995). While SSTA was the only continuous variable found to be significant, the discrete 1998 regime shift supported the most informative model. The best Ricker's model considered a discrete intercept change in the same year: 1998. Although a spurious correlation between SSTA and S-R changes is possible, SSTA may be reflecting major physical or biological changes relevant to M. magellanicus juveniles in the SE Pacific.     

137Cs示踪法研究湟水上游和布哈河下游区域土壤侵蚀强度

通过¹³⁷Cs示踪技术,并采用土壤剖面核素单位面积浓度与背景值之间的理论模型,对布哈河下游和青海湖东北岸湟水上游区域的土壤侵蚀进行了研究,结果表明：¹³⁷Cs面积活度与植被盖度之间存在着正相关关系,两区域相关系数为0.93。湟水上游河谷土壤侵蚀模数在87.62～1 458.41 t·km^-2·a^-1之间,采样点平均土壤侵蚀模数为933.31 t·km^-2·a^-1。布哈河下游区域土壤侵蚀模数在431.03～2 072.39 t·km^-2·a^-1之间,采样点平均土壤侵蚀模数为1 256.97 t·km^-2·a^-1。布哈河下游区域较湟水上游区域侵蚀严重,在较长的时期内两地大部分区域均处于轻度侵蚀阶段,湟水上游北部和布哈河下游西北部处于微度侵蚀阶段。     

1975-2008 年西藏色林错湖面变化对气候变化的响应

根据1975 年地形图、80 年代至2008 年的TM、CBERS 卫星遥感资料和近34 年(1975-2008 年) 的气温、降水量、蒸发量、最大冻土深度等气候资料分析得出,西藏那曲地区西部的色林错及其周围的错鄂、雅根错的面积在近30 年来呈较显著的扩大趋势,到2008 年面积分别为2196.23 km2、279.24 km²、103.07 km²,与1975 年分别增长了574.46 km²、11.59 km2和68.13 km²,增长速度分别为35.4%、4.3%和195%。色林错从1999-2008 年湖面扩大速度为20%,平均上涨了420 km²/10a,已超过纳木错面积,成为西藏第一大咸水湖。冰雪融水量的增加是湖泊上涨的根本原因,其次与降水量的增加和蒸发量的减少、冻土退化等暖湿化的气候变化存在很大关系。
