Dispersion relation of internal waves in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean

Based mainly on TOGA COARE data, that is, the CI''D data from R/V Xiangyanghong No.5 (Pu et al.,1993),the temperature and current data from the Woods Hole mooring and other deep current data, the layered numerical profiles of buoyancy frequency and mean current components are figured out.A numerical method calculating internal wave dispersion relation without background shear current, used by Fliegel and Hunkins (1975),is improved to be fit for the internal wave equation with mean currents and their second derivatives.The dispersion relations and wave functions of the long crested internal wave progressing in any direction can be calculated inveniently by using the improved method.A comparison between the calculated dispersion relation in the paper and the dispersion relation in GM spectral model of ocean internal waves (Garret and Munk, 1972) is performed.It shows that the mean currents are important to the dispersion relation of internal waves in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean and that the currents make the wave progressing co-directional with (against) the currents stretched (shrink).The influence of the mean currents on dispersion relation is much stronger than that of their second derivatives, but that on wave function is less than that of their second derivatives.The influences on wave functions result in the change of vertical wavenumber, that is, making the wave function stretch or shrink.There exists obvious turning depth but no significant critical layer absorption is found.     

祁连山中部树木年轮宽度与气候因子的响应关系及气候重建

研究了祁连山中部不同海拔高度青海云杉的树轮宽度对气候因子的响应,重建了祁连山中部 230 a以来春季3~5月的降水和 170 a以来夏季6~8月的气温序列。结果分析发现,不同高度的云杉树轮生长对春季降水极为敏感,呈现显著正相关;对夏季气温的响应程度,各海拔高度却不相同,夏季气温对上、下限云杉生长有显著影响,但对于森林中部云杉作用并不明显,总体表现为负相关,夏季高温对树木生长不利。气候重建结果发现,祁连山中部的春季230 a以来经历了大幅度长阶段的干湿变化,存在明显的 69 a和 21a周期;170 a以来夏季气温变化频繁,存在明显的2~4a周期。目前,祁连山中部正处于相对干旱和温暖时期,呈现出向暖干方向发展的趋势。     

Soil moisture temporal stability and spatio-temporal variability about a typical subalpine ecosystem in northwestern China

Knowledge of the spatial–temporal variability of soil water content is critical for water management and restoration of vegetation in semi-arid areas. Using the temporal stability method, we investigated soil water relations and spatial–temporal variability of volumetric soil water content (VSWC) in the grassland–shrubland–forest transect at a typical semi-arid subalpine ecosystem in the Qilian Mountains, northwestern China. The VSWC was measured on 48 occasions to a depth of 70 cm at 50 locations along a 240-m transect during the 2016–2017 growing seasons. Results revealed that temporal variability in VSWC in the same soil layer in the three vegetation types and averaged across vegetation types tended to exhibit similar patterns of a decrease with increasing soil depth. Temporal stability in each vegetation type was stronger with an increase in soil depth. However, the results of temporal stability determined with standard deviation of relative difference (SDRD) disagreed with those based on the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient; the forest site had the highest Spearman rank correlation coefficient while the shrubland—the smallest SDRD in the 0–20 cm soil layer. Correlation analyses of VSWCs between two vegetation types indicated that soil water was related among all three vegetation types at the 0–20, and 0–70 cm soil layer, but in the 20–40 and 40–70 cm soil layers, significant correlation (p < .01) occurred only between adjacent vegetation types. In the upper soil layer (0–20 cm), soil water relations were mainly affected by surface runoff. In the lower soil layer (20–40 and 40–70 cm), soil water relations among the three vegetation types were highly complex, and probably resulting from a combination of root distribution and activity, interflow, and the impact of deep soil freeze–thaw dynamics. These results suggest that the factors affecting soil water are complex, and further research should address the relative importance of and interactions among different determining factors.     

Monitoring of water surface temperature of Eurasian large lakes using MODIS land surface temperature product

In this study, data from MODIS land surface temperature product level 3 (MOD11A2) were used to investigate the spatiotemporal variation of Eurasian lakes water surface temperature (LSWT) from 2001 to 2015, and to examine the most influencing factors of that variation. The temperature of most lakes in the dry climate zone and in the equatorial climatic zone varied from 17 to 31°C and from 23 to 27°C, respectively. LSWTs in the warm temperate and cold climatic zones were in the range of 20 to 27°C and −0.6 and 17°C, respectively. The average day time LSWT in the polar climate zone was −0.71°C in the summer. Lakes in high latitude and in the Tibetan Plateau displayed low LSWT, ranging from −11 to 26°C during the night time. Large spatial variations of diurnal temperature difference (DTD) were observed in lakes across Eurasia. However, variations in DTDs were small in lakes located in high latitude and in tropical rainforest regions. The shallow lakes showed a rapid response of LSWT to solar and atmospheric forcing, while in the large and deep lakes, that response was sluggish. Results of this study demonstrated the applicability of remote sensing and MODIS LST products to capture the spatial–temporal variability of LSWT across continental scales, in particular for the vast wilderness areas and protected environment in high latitude regions of the world. The approach can be used in future studies examining processes and factors controlling large scale variability of LSWT.     

Timoshenko beam solution for the response of existing tunnels because of tunneling underneath

An analytical solution for the deflection and internal forces of an existing tunnel because of tunneling underneath is presented. The existing tunnel is modeled as a Timoshenko beam resting on a Winkler foundation, which takes into account the contribution of shear deformation to the total deflection of the existing tunnel. The validity of the analytical solution is verified by a centrifuge test, and the merit of this analytical method is confirmed by comparison with the conventional Euler–Bernoulli beam model. Influential factors on the behavior of the existing tunnel are investigated by consideration of the variations of subgrade modulus, ground loss induced by the new tunnel construction, vertical clearance between the new tunnel and the existing tunnel, and relative existing tunnel–soil stiffness. Results show that the proposed analytical method is a valid and effective method to evaluate shearing‐induced deformation in existing tunnels with large diameters. Results also show that the pattern and the amplitude of the response of the existing tunnel are affected largely by ground loss induced by the new tunnel construction, vertical clearance between the new tunnel and the existing tunnel, and relative existing tunnel–soil stiffness.
