Records of the Moon‐forming impact and the 470 Ma disruption of the L chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt from U‐Pb apatite ages of Novato (L6)

Novato, a newly observed fall in the San Francisco Bay area, is a shocked and brecciated L6 ordinary chondrite containing dark and light lithologies. We have investigated the U‐Pb isotope systematics of coarse Cl‐apatite grains of metamorphic origin in Novato with a large geometry ion microprobe. The U‐Pb systematics of Novato apatite reveals an upper intercept age of 4472 ± 31 Ma and lower intercept age of 473 ± 38 Ma. The upper intercept age is within error identical to the U‐Pb apatite age of 4452 ± 21 Ma measured in the Chelyabinsk LL5 chondrite. This age is interpreted to reflect a massive collisional resetting event due to a large impact associated with the peak arrival time at the primordial asteroid belt of ejecta debris from the Moon‐forming giant impact on Earth. The lower intercept age is consistent with the most precisely dated Ar‐Ar ages of 470 ± 6 Ma of shocked L chondrites, and the fossil meteorites and extraterrestrial chromite relicts found in Ordovician limestones with an age of 467.3 ± 1.6 Ma in Sweden and China. The lower intercept age reflects a major disturbance related to the catastrophic disruption of the L chondrite parent body most likely associated with the Gefion asteroid family, which produced an initially intense meteorite bombardment of the Earth in Ordovician period and reset and degassed at least approximately 35% of the L chondrite falls today. We predict that the 470 Ma impact event is likely to be found on the Moon and Mars, if not Mercury.     

戈壁风沙流结构特性及其意义

通过砾质戈壁风沙流野外实测数据的分析以及风洞模拟实验研究发现：戈壁风沙流结构具有与沙漠风沙流完全不同的风沙流特征,戈壁风沙地表的粗糙度随风速的增大而增加,其表面风沙流输沙量高度分布表现出独特的"象鼻"效应,在一定高度处呈现最大值,并随风速的增加而增高。该"象鼻"效应导致戈壁风沙流结构特征值λ远大于 1,不论风速多大,风沙流都处于未饱和状态的非堆积搬运状态。这种特殊性质比较清楚地解释了敦煌莫高窟千年来不被沙山埋没的谜底。并且在风沙防治工程实践中,采用砾石压沙措施,构造类似与砾质戈壁的下垫面,人工促使风沙流结构呈现"象鼻"形状,可使防沙工程达到理想的输导作用。

利用高光谱遥感影像纹理滤波的城市居民地识别

高光谱影像具有丰富的光谱和空间结构信息,传统的基于光谱特征的分割方法易使分割区域过于细碎,从而降低了居民地信息提取的精度。尝试将纹理信息引入到特征空间,以提高信息识别、提取的精度。纹理信息采用多尺度3D-Gabor滤波器对经过特征选择后的高光谱影像进行滤波,进一步计算纹理能量和纹理特征,然后利用多特征聚类实现图像的初步分割,最终通过形态学方法获取影像中的居民地信息。实验表明,基于3D-Gabor滤波的方法能有效地识别、提取高光谱影像中的居民地信息。

基于因子分析法的开封市菊展游客满意度研究

选取具有代表性的21个评价指标,利用因子分析法识别出影响开封菊展游客满意度的4个主要因子,按其影响程度从大到小依次为价格因子、景区服务因子、菊花与菊展因子、环境与交通因子.结果表明:游客的总体满意度评价不高,其中游客对菊花与菊展因子的满意度最高,而对影响最重要的价格因子的满意度却最低.最后,针对影响游客满意度的因子分析提出了开封菊展的改进建议,以提高其知名度和美誉度.     

Impact of global warming on drought in China

Spatial and temporal change patterns of air temperature (T), precipitation (P), relative humidity (RH), lower vapor pressure (VP), potential evapotranspiration (PET) and drought situation of 690 meteorological stations for all of China were evaluated in this study to understand the effects of warming on regional drought and hydrological processes. Here, the drought extent is expressed by aridity index (AI), which is the ratio of precipitation and reference crop evapotranspiration (ET₀) calculated by FAO Penman-Monteith equation, taking into account air temperature, atmospheric humidity, solar radiation, and wind. Our results indicate that there are different patterns of climate change from 1961 to 2008 and from 1981 to 2008. Little precipitation change occurred in China and ET₀ decreased from 1961 to 2008. But, the warming trend has intensified and the area with significant increasing precipitation has reduced since the early 1980’s and ET₀ has increased in most areas of China from 1981 to 2008 and decreased from 1961 to 2008. The areas affected by drought have shifted from North China and Northeast China to East China and South China since 1981. It is speculated that the increasing warming intensity after 1981 possibly strengthened the power of potential evapotranspiration and resulted in drought in most areas of Northeast China, North China, eastern Southwest China, and especially in East China and South China.     

夏季安徽槽前形势下龙卷和非龙卷型强对流天气的环境条件对比研究

利用NCEP再分析资料,对安徽省夏季高空槽前形势下两类强对流天气各5次个例的环流特征、热力和动力条件进行了对比分析。结果表明：以大风、短时强降水天气为主的非龙卷类表现为高空的低槽比较深厚,而龙卷的产生多是由于较浅的短波槽引起的,并且低层有西南急流存在,导致较强的垂直风切变。通过比较热力和动力物理量平均场的分布特征发现：在槽前形势下水汽条件都比较好,夏季整层大气可降水量平均在55mm以上,但出现龙卷时中低层的垂直风切变非常强,龙卷类0-1km垂直风切变大约是非龙卷类的3倍。由于存在较强的垂直风切变,龙卷类低层的风暴相对螺旋度也强于非龙卷类。从动力和热力条件综合来看,出现龙卷时的对流有效位能并不是很大,但能量螺旋度很大,即风暴相对螺旋度上差异更加明显。因此在预报槽前类龙卷天气时,应重点关注环境风场的垂直切变和风暴相对螺旋度。     

台站迁移对陕西省气温资料均一性的影响及其偏差订正

利用陕西省74个台站1961-2008年气温资料和台站沿革资料,采用二相回归法进行均一性检测和订正。结果发现台站迁移对气温资料的均一性有明显的影响,陕北台站迁移较少,关中和陕南迁站较多,全省74个台站中有24个台站资料的非均一性是因为台站迁移而引起的,对其中的12个台站进行了调整,使得全省气温序列从南至北分布具有较好的‘均一性’。     

典型层状云系催化试验的云物理响应研究

利用2003年秋季延安地区一次典型层状云系加密探空和实时雷达观测资料,设计了催化和对比探测方案,计算得出催化影响区及下风方可能采集到响应值的区域。按照设计方案进行催化和探测。云物理响应观测结果表明:PNS粒子探测系统检测到催化后30min,小云滴减少;大冰晶的浓度增加;催化前冰晶以片状为主,催化后可看到有霰坯;催化前大雪晶浓度很小,雪晶之间没有攀附;催化后雪晶浓度增加,且大雪晶增加很多,可明显看到几个雪团攀附在一起形成的较大雪团;雷达观测到催化前拟播撒区内云的回波强度较弱、范围较小,催化后云体明显增大,强中心增加了5～10dBz;催化约1h后影响区雨量均有增加,说明催化引入的人工冰晶,使冰晶凝结比水滴凝结更有利于过冷云水转化为降水,冰晶效应和雪晶攀附过程是这次层状云系降水系统中的主要过程。过冷水冻结释放的潜热,导致云内升速加大,使催化区云和降水得到发展。
