利用GPS监测电离层不均匀结构探讨

利用上海地区GPS综合应用网提供的高时空分辨率的双频GPS观测资料,研究了该区域内一电离层不均匀体的产生、消亡过程.首先,采用Kalman滤波的方法改善双频伪距之差的观测精度,并利用参数估计的方法计算该时段内相应的硬件延迟.再根据电离层单层模型,利用GPS双频观测量、测站位置和GPS精密星历,求出GPS信号穿刺点的坐标和垂直方向电离层的电子含量;然后内插并获取其等值线图.等值线图随时间的变化表明,受等离子体湍流的影响,2003年9月8日北京时间9时40分左右在38°N、118°E左右产生了一电离层不均匀体,其尺度大约在50km左右,生存时间大约为5min.受地球重力场和高空风场的影响,该不均匀体向东北方向扩散.然后,利用大气扩散模型,按扩散方程计算分析了该不均匀体可能发生的电离层层区.理论计算表明,该不均匀体发生在电离层扩展F区,高度在350km左右.     

北京地区Pi2脉动和地磁AE指数的关系

分析了北京地区1998年1月1日至3月26日和4月24日至6月13日共136天记录的Pi2脉动事件特性,并与同时期亚暴AE指数进行了对比.结果发现,在北京地区越靠近日侧,观测到的Pi2脉动事件越少,幅度也越小.并不是每次亚暴都能激发空腔振荡模,亚暴强度的增加也并不代表空腔振荡模产生概率的增加.随着亚暴AE指数的增大,Pi2脉动的平均幅度基本上也在增大.但也有例外,可能是由于北京观测地点距离亚暴电流楔位置较远造成的.北京地区的Pi2脉动可以发生于亚暴的整个过程中,从AE指数开始增长期间（亚暴增长相）,一直到亚暴AE指数恢复正常（亚暴膨胀相后期）.某些亚暴没有对应着Pi2脉动事件,其AE指数从小于200nT一直到800nT以上.从观测数据来看,北京地区虽然纬度分区在低纬区域,但其Pi2脉动的特性与中纬Pi2特性更为靠近.所以不宜用北京地区Pi2来预报亚暴,以避免误报和漏报.     

东昆仑西端布喀达坂峰地区二叠纪孢粉型化石的发现

在东昆仑西端布喀达坂峰地区二叠纪地层中首次发现陆相孢粉与海相疑源类化石一起保存的孢粉—疑源类化石组合。经对两个样品较为丰富的孢粉型化石研究后发现,上部组合以裸子植物花粉占优势,双囊无肋花粉最多,可与塔里木盆地的卡伦达尔组的孢粉组合做粗略的比较,但组合中出现了时代偏晚的Ephedripites及Taeniae-sporites,因此,研究区马尔争组中段复理石地层的时代当为中二叠世—晚二叠世。     

10 Years of the optical &; UV monitor (OM) on-board <Emphasis Type="Italic">XMM-Newton</Emphasis>

The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory was launched at the end of 1999 and it is still successfully operated. In addition to the X-ray instruments, the payload carries a small telescope, the Optical Monitor, which provides simultaneous imaging and spectroscopic observations in the optical and UV ranges. In this report we review the status of the OM and its main achievements after 10 years of operations. We also introduce the XMM-OM Serendipitous Ultra-violet Source Survey (SUSS) Catalogue.

基于卫星遥感数据的全球表层流场反演重构

利用2000~2008年的卫星高度计资料和QuikSCAT风场资料,反演了全球的海表的地转流和Ekman流,将两者合成后生成了0．5°×0．5°的逐周全球表层流产品。在计算Ekman流的时候,引入了权重函数,改进了Lagerloef方法中Ekman流在25°S和25°N上的不连续问题。分析表明：卫星资料反演的流产品能够反映出海表流场的特征,将其分别于TAO观测和SGUD流产品进行定量化的比较显示,所得流产品具有较高的反演精度和可信度,说明改进的方法是有效的。     

The reflection seismic survey of project TIPTEQ—the inventory of the Chilean subduction zone at 38.2° S

We describe results of an active-source seismology experiment across the Chilean subduction zone at 38.2°S. The seismic sections clearly show the subducted Nazca plate with varying reflectivity. Below the coast the plate interface occurs at 25 km depth as the sharp lower boundary of a 2–5 km thick, highly reflective region, which we interpret as the subduction channel, that is, a zone of subducted material with a velocity gradient with respect to the upper and lower plate. Further downdip along the seismogenic coupling zone the reflectivity decreases in the area of the presumed 1960 Valdivia hypocentre. The plate interface itself can be traced further down to depths of 50–60 km below the Central Valley. We observe strong reflectivity at the plate interface as well as in the continental mantle wedge. The sections also show a segmented forearc crust in the overriding South American plate. Major features in the accretionary wedge, such as the Lanalhue fault zone, can be identified. At the eastern end of the profile a bright west-dipping reflector lies perpendicular to the plate interface and may be linked to the volcanic arc.     

Seasonal timing of stratospheric final warming associated with the intensity of stratospheric sudden warming in preceding winter

The association of seasonal timing of stratospheric final warming events(SFWs) in spring and the occurrence of major and minor stratospheric sudden warming events(SSWs) in midwinter were investigated through statistical analysis, parallel comparison, and composite analysis, based on the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis dataset covering 1958–2012. It was found that the intensity and occurrence of winter SSW events can largely affect the timing of spring SFWs. Specifically, the SFW onset dates tend to be later(earlier) after the occurrence(absence) of winter major SSWs. However, the occurrence or absence of minor SSWs does not change the frequency of early and late SFWs. A parallel comparison of the temporal evolution of the anomalous circulation and planetary-waves between major SSW and minor SSW winters indicates that the stratospheric polar vortex(polar jet) will keep being anomalously stronger 30 days after major SSW onset. And the associated significant negative Eliassen-Palm(EP) flux anomalies can persist for as long as 45 days after major SSW events. In contrast, the circulation anomalies around the occurrence of minor SSW events can last only a few days. To further verify the possible influence of the occurrence of major SSWs on the seasonal timing of SFWs, composite analysis was performed respectively for the 21 major-SSW years, 15 minor-SSW years, and the 15 non-SSW years. Generally, planetary-wave activity in the extratropical stratosphere tends to be stronger(weaker) and the westerly polar jet is anomalously weaker(stronger) in major-SSW(non-SSW) winters. But in the following spring, the planetary-wave activity is weaker(stronger) accompanied with an anomalously stronger(weaker) stratospheric polar vortex. In spring after minor-SSW years, however, the stratospheric polar vortex and the westerly polar jet exhibit a state close to climatology with relatively gentle variations.     

基于整数小波变换的空间矢量数据压缩方法

针对空间曲线矢量数据相邻坐标点间坐标值大小差别不大的特点,提出一种新的矢量数据压缩方法:首先将空间坐标点间的差值转换为整型的偏移量,使用偏移量表示矢量数据的坐标点;然后利用整数小波变换(IWT)处理偏移量序列,最后对变换后的小波系数进行无损熵编码.使用此方法对中国数字地理地图数据的SHP文件进行压缩,实验结果显示, 压缩比超过11,高于其他类似方法,表明本压缩方法能够实现较高压缩比的空间矢量数据无损压缩.      

表面活性剂强化空气扰动修复氯苯污染含水层

通过一维砂柱实验研究了阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)对空气扰动技术(air sparging,AS)修复氯苯污染地下水的强化效果.结果表明,SDBS的加入降低了地下水的表面张力,减小了水气两相毛细压力,从而提高了地下水中的空气饱和度.当曝气量为100 mL/min,地下水的表面张力由72.2 mN/m降至49.5 mN/m时,地下水中空气饱和度由13.2%提高至50.1%,而后随着表面张力的进一步降低,空气饱和度不再提高,反而有小幅下降.通过污染物的去除实验发现,SDBS的加入大大提高了氯苯的去除率,且去除率的变化与空气饱和度的变化趋势基本相符.因此,表面活性剂的加入可以作为空气扰动技术一种十分有效的强化手段.
