青海南部二叠纪类生物古地理区系

冈瓦纳与欧亚大陆间的昌都地块构造属性存在争议,解决问题的关键是生物古地理区系判别.青海南部二叠纪类化 石群的研究表明昌都地块该生物群一直表现为暖水的特提斯型,与华南地区始终表现出更多的相似性,其生物古地理归属应 为特提斯大区华夏-特提斯区华南亚区.昌都地块南界龙木错-双湖-澜沧江缝合带在早二叠世为划分青藏高原暖水型特提 斯区的南界,不仅是华南亚区与藏北冷暖混合亚区的分界线,也是特提斯大区与冈瓦纳大区的分界线.中二叠世以后该带不再 构成大区界线,但在确定次一级分区界线上仍是一个很好的划分标志;北界金沙江缝合带二叠纪两侧生物群表现出一致性, 未形成浅海底栖生物自由迁移的障碍,不具有生物古地理分区意义.      

腾格里沙漠南缘末次间冰期5e亚段的微量元素特征及其反映的古气候

腾格里沙漠南缘土门剖面TMS5e层段由16层风成砂、11层湖积黄土和5层湖相沉积构成,其年代相当于深海氧同位素5e。分析结果表明,TMS5e的10种微量元素的含量依次为PMnSrRbVCrZnNiCuNb。就平均值来看,古流动沙丘砂的各微量元素含量最低,其次为古半固定-固定沙丘砂,但两者的各微量元素含量都明显低于整个TMS5e层段相应平均值;黄土状亚砂土微量元素含量稍低于整个TMS5e层段相应平均值;湖相沉积和湖积黄土的各微量元素含量相差较小,且明显都高于整个TMS5e层段、古流动沙丘砂和黄土状亚砂土的平均值。土门剖面TMS5e层段的微量元素指示的MIS5e腾格里沙漠南缘的气候是不稳定的,经历了14.5次暖湿与冷干交替的气候波动,且可划分为TMS5e5(139~129.30ka BP)、TMS5e4(129.30~124ka BP)、TMS5e3(124~119.50ka BP)、TMS5e2(119.5~116.5ka BP)和TMS5e1(116.5~113.70ka BP)等5个亚段,分别可与格陵兰GRIP冰芯氧同位素所反映的MIS5e5、MIS5e4、MIS5e3、MIS5e2、MIS5e1等气候波动在性质和相位上相对应。     

Experimental study on grain size and soluble salt of saline soil in western Jilin Province, China

Western Jilin Province is a typical seasonal frost region, and is also one of the severest salinization areas of China. In this study, we aim to examine the saline soil in Da'an and Wukesong areas, western Jilin Province, and mainly analyze the granulometric composition and distribution of salt in soil profiles. Four sampling sites, two in Da'an and two in Wukesong respectively, are chosen for study. The granulometric composition, especially silt and clay content change in different sites and soil depths are analyzed. Analysis of total and components of soluble salt shows that the surface soil is weak carbonate saline, in which the main cation is Na⁺ and the main anion is HCO₃^-. The total amount of soluble salt presents a decreasing tendency with increasing depth. The comprehensive analysis of granulometric composition and soluble salt shows that the clay content and soluble salt content present similar variation tendency with an increase of depth.     

一次局地暴雨的地闪特征及其与强降水的关系

利用闪电定位仪每分钟实测资料、加密自动站逐分钟雨量和卫星云图云顶亮温TBB资料,对2013年4月29日西南涡东移过程中MCS产生的局地暴雨地闪特征进行了分析。结果表明：这次过程产生了大量地闪活动,且地闪主要出现在西南涡东侧500 hPa槽前辐合上升运动区、700 hPa暖切南侧850 hPa暖切北部的辐合带、TBB小于等于220 K区域南侧TBB水平梯度大值区的叠置区。整个过程负闪占主导地位,强降水发生在负闪密集区;MCS生命史不同阶段的正负闪频数、密集程度和分布位置是不同的。进一步分析发现单站地闪频数与TBB和强降水在时空变化上有一定的相关性,地闪频数和TBB表现为负相关,即TBB下降到最低值时,地闪频数则到达峰值;逐时地闪频数和雨强均呈单峰分布,负闪频数和强降水发展演变趋势一致,负闪峰值和最大雨峰时刻对应,正闪或和最大雨峰一致或略滞后,正负闪和雨峰的6 min演变趋势呈多峰分布,负闪初现12~18 min后出现降水,负闪突增较强降水有18~24 min的提前量。此个例显示MCS将朝向移动路径前侧的负闪密集区域移动,负闪密集区对局地强降水的落区和强度有较好的指示意义。     

基于Argo数据的吕宋海峡东部海域的会聚区特征分析

利用2010-2013年的Argo浮标观测资料,对吕宋海峡东部海域(19°~23°N,123~127°E)的会聚区特征进行综合分析。研究结果如下:(1)吕宋海峡东部海域4个季节表面的声速从大至小依次为夏季、秋季、春季和冬季,夏季最大为1 543.5m/s,冬季最小为1 533.4m/s;混合层深度从大到小依次为冬季、秋季、春季和夏季;(2)采用WOA13气候态数据对声速剖面进行深海延拓,获得全海深的声速剖面,分析4个季节的声道特征。声道轴深度和声速较为稳定,声道轴深度在1 000~1 040m之间,声道轴处的声速为1 482m/s,4个季节的平均声道厚度都超过4 500m,利于会聚区形成;(3)研究区较易发生会聚现象,发生会聚现象概率高于50%的占70.6%;会聚现象的发生概率季节变化明显,春季、冬季极易发生声场的会聚现象,夏季最小;(4)运用RAMGeo声场模型对研究区4个季节的声传播损失进行仿真,分析会聚区的季节变化特征。当声源深度100m,接收深度10m时,第一会聚区,离声源的距离在61~64km左右,夏季离声源最近,春、冬季较远;会聚区宽度上,夏季最宽为10km,春季最窄为4.6km;会聚区增益分布特点与会聚区宽度刚好相反,春季最大为14.6dB,夏季最小为8.5dB。

Design of the cryogenic system of the wideband phased array feed for QTT

Phased array feeds(PAFs),which illuminate the dish with digitally synthesized beams instead of separated horns,provide the capability for wider and continuous field-of-view surveys.As a promising technology for next generation radio telescopes,PAFs will provide the Qi Tai Telescope(QTT),which will be next world-class fully steerable radio telescope,an opportunity of reaching several cutting-edge science goals.This paper presents a brief introduction of the wideband PAF for QTT,and the detailed design and simulation of the cryogenic system.Based on this design,a scaled prototype of the spherical vacuum window,which is the key part of the cryogenic system,has been built and the performance is verified.     

Methane biotransformation in the ocean and its effects on climate change: A review

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Continental margins contain large reservoirs of methane as solid gas hydrate and the dissolved and gaseous forms of methane. Submarine methane seeps along the global continental margins, including the coastal seas, have been estimated to contribute 0.01 to 0.05 Gt of carbon to the atmosphere annually, accounting for between 1% and 5% of the global methane emissions to the atmosphere. Much of this methane is exhausted via microbial anaerobic methane oxidation. Methane biotransformation in the ocean has effects on global climate change. This review mainly introduces the mechanisms of methanogenesis and methane oxidation and describes new findings that will provide information that will improve the understanding of the balance in terms of the generation, migration and consumption of methane in marine environments. Moreover, this review provides new insights into methane biogeochemical cycles and the effects of marine methane budgets on global climate.
