Molecular fossil and paleovegetation records of paleosol S4 and adjacent loess layers in the Luochuan loess section, NW China

Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique, a series of biomarkers were identi- fied, including n-alkanes, n-alkane-2-ones, isoprenoid etc. from the loess-paleosol samples collected from the S4 and adjacent L5, L4 of the Luochuan loess section, Northwestern China. Based on these data, especially n-alkanes and high-resolution magnetic susceptibility and grain size data, the pa- leoenvironment and paleovegetation history during S4 was reconstructed. The CPI (Carbon Predomi- nance Index) and correlation between n-alkanes and magnetic susceptibility and grain size data dem- onstrated that the molecular fossils in paleosol and loess layers can reflect the vegetation condition during the loess-paleosol formation, if the allochthonous organic inputs could be excluded reasonably. The ACL (average chain length) index is correlated well with paleomagnetic susceptibility and grain size variations, displaying their good synchrony with warm and humid climate. However, it relatively lagged behind the paleomagnetic susceptibility and the grain size variations when the climate began to deteriorate. During the formation period of paleosol, the n-alkanes was dominated by C31 homologue, indicating that the primary organic input originated from herbs. Our study also demonstrated that the herbs were more flourish than wood plants in Loess Plateau, especially in the Luochuan area during the warm and humid phase, and there was no typical forest vegetation developed in the studied period.     

Compositional characteristics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-alkanes of the glaciers over the Tibetan Plateau and their environmental and climatic significances

We report on the concentration and compositional features of n-alkanes of natural and anthropogenic origins in the snow samples collected from the Qiyi glacier in the Qilian Mountains, the Yuzhufeng glacier in eastern Kunlun Mountains, the Xiaodongkemadi glacier in the Tanggula Mountains, and the Gurenhekou glacier in the Nyainqêntanglha Range. The results indicate a decrease in the total n-alkane concentration (T-HCs) from the northeast to the south over the Tibetan Plateau. The T-HCs in these studied areas were close to those in the Belukha and Sofiyskiy glacier, Russian Alati Mountains and the Dasuopu glacier in the Himalaya but were much higher than those in the Greenland ice sheet, suggesting that the mountain glaciers in the Asian continent may receive a higher loading of n-alkanes than the Greenland ice core. Moreover, the compositional characteristics of n-alkanes indicated that the n-alkanes in the studied areas were probably originated from the plant waxes as well as the fossil-fuel combustion exhaust, whereas the contribution from the lower organisms was small. In addition, the plant wax (C_n(wax)) and anthropogenic (non-C_n(wax)) contributions revealed that fast industrialization may have significant effects on the organic pollutant composition in glacier over the Tibetan Plateau and its circumference environment. Particularly, except for the Yuzhufeng glacier, the ΣnC₂₁ ⁻/ΣnC₂₂ ⁺ and (nC₁₅+nC₁₇+nC₁₉)/(nC₂₇+nC₂₉+nC₃₁) ratio decreased from the Qiyi glacier to the Gurenhekou glacier over the Tibetan Plateau, while the carbon preference index (CPI) values increased. These results indicate a decrease in terrigenous input while an increase in marine input from the northeast to the south over the Tibetan Plateau. These two ratios can be used as the climatic and environmental change indicators.     

海洋碳循环模式(Ⅱ)——对印度洋的模拟结果分析

把建好的海洋碳模式应用于印度洋区域,模拟得到了印度洋中与碳有关各化学量的表层分布、垂直分布和沿子午线面的等值线分布。与实测的ＧＥＯＳＥＣＳ（ＧｅｏｃｈｅｍｉｃａｌＯｃｅａｎ—Ｓｅｃｔｉｎｎ Ｓｔｕｄｙ）数据作对比,模式较好地再现了印度洋上营养盐浓度、总碳浓度、总碱度和溶解氧的二维分布。通过模拟还发现,在稳定状态下,大气和海洋中总碳含量的分布依赖于发生在海洋中的各种物理化学过程及边界条件,水平扩散系数Ｋｈ和光合作用常数率Ｋｇ对各化学量的分布有较大影响（以前有学者认为不太重要,如 Ｂａｅｓ［１］）;南印度洋中纬地区 １０°Ｓ至 ３０°Ｓ是１４Ｃ的重要向下渗透区域,人为排放的ＣＯ２可通过这片渗透区从海洋的表层输入海洋的深层。

海泡石坡缕石的有机吸附研究

本研究采用红外光谱分析、Ｘ射线衍射分析和电泳等方法对坡缕石和海泡石吸附有机气体进行了研究。实验表明,这种吸附是因静电力的作用而产生的。矿物表面的吸附水可减弱静电力的作用。坡缕石、海泡石对有机气体的吸附量与气体温度、蒸气压、气体分子偶极矩、样品纯度、矿物结晶有关。温度升高,气体分子热运动将加剧,吸附数量随之减少;若气体分子偶极矩加大,则吸附量增加;增大蒸气压能提高气体分子与矿物微粒间的接触频率,从而     

河南春季一次云降水过程的宏微观物理特征分析

云降水的宏微观物理特征的观测和研究,有助于建立典型的云降水多尺度结构模型,为确定科学的人工增雨催化方案提供重要依据。借助于雷达、卫星等多种遥感探测手段,结合飞机的云中观测,对2004年3月31日河南云降水观测外场试验区（31.5-35°N,111-114°E）的一次云降水过程实施了综合探测,综合分析了此次云降水过程的宏微观物理特征。此次云降水系统属于比较典型的低槽、冷锋活动所造成的一次小至中雨过程。根据GOES卫星云图和天气图可以看出,沿锋面云系的后部,有一槽线,它对试验区的降水起主要作用,地面冷锋位于云带的前沿。雷达PPI回波显示为一条窄而长的回波带,宽度较窄,强度不大;RHI显示回波高度不高,回波云顶高度平均在5-6km左右,除存在一些20-30dBz的回波团外,回波强度比较均匀,回波中存在明显的0℃层亮带。这次降水为锋上高积云（Ac）和其下部液水较为丰沛的层积云（Sc）结合而成,在Ac云的4340m（-4.8℃）和3670m（0℃）液态水含量出现高值,分别为0.072g/m^3和0.086g/m^3,在Sc云中的0℃附近液态水含量出现高值。降水形成前,云中粒子谱型主要为单峰型,粒子直径大部分在5-10μm之间变化,大粒子浓度很低,不到0.1个/cm^3,且呈不连续分布,随着云中微物理过程的发展和降水的形成,粒子谱型逐渐转为双峰或多峰型,粒子浓度明显增高,粒子直径逐渐增大。
