A study of extratropical transition and re-intensification of Typhoon Mindulle (2004)

In this study,the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU-NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5) is used to simulate Typhoon Mindulle (2004) at high resolution (3-km grid size).The data from measurements show that in the upper atmosphere the existence of an upper jet is important to the transition cyclone.When Mindulle moved to the area of the upper jet entrance,where high-altitude divergence existed, the pumping of the high-altitude divergence would enhance the vertical motion and low-level cyclone convergence. The enhanced vertical motion was confirmed by the simulation results and indicated that the existence of upper divergence enhanced the vertical motion which was favorable for the maintenance of Typhoon Mindulle.The process of extratropical transition (ET) and re-intensification always accompanies the process of cold air invasion. This process enhances the baroclinicity of the atmosphere and the formation of front at high altitudes, which converts baroclinic potential energy into kinetic energy and strengthens the cyclone vortex.The distributions of equivalent potential temperature (θe) and temperature anomalies show that the warm-core of the typhoon at the tropopause aids the re-intensification of the system. As the typhoon reenters the ocean, latent heat flux (LHF) increases in the north and west and the strong reflectivity and vertical motion occur in the east and southeast,and the west.With the re-intensification of the typhoon the wind field evolves from an oval to a circle at the lower atmosphere, the area coverage by high winds increases, and the distribution of the tangential wind shows an asymmetric pattern.

海洋浮游微食物网生物在海洋颗粒形成和沉降中的作用

海洋中存在着大量的颗粒,包括大型聚合颗粒（即海雪,粒径>500μm）、小型聚合颗粒（1~500μm）和亚微米颗粒粒径（<1μm）等。颗粒在海水中营造了不同于纯海水的小生境,其中生活着与自然海水中不同的生物。异养细菌、蓝细菌、真核藻类、鞭毛虫、纤毛虫等微食物网生物可以黏附在海洋颗粒上,或生活在颗粒内部,其丰度高于周围水体中的自由生活生物,这可能是由于颗粒提供了更适宜生长的营养环境。本文综述了海洋浮游微食物网生物在海洋颗粒形成和沉降中的作用。微食物网生物在颗粒物的形成过程中起到很重要的作用,它们可以直接促进颗粒形成,也可以彼此结合成颗粒,或微型浮游动物排粪形成颗粒。微食物网生物还可以对颗粒进行转化,影响颗粒的大小、沉降速度、或对颗粒及其黏附生物进行摄食。微食物网生物由于本身较小,沉降较慢,但这些生物和颗粒的结合使得微食物网生物在碳通量中发挥重要的作用。     

铝合金钻杆强度的模拟仿真分析

与传统的钢制钻杆相比,铝合金钻杆具有密度小、比强度高、无磁等优点,因此在钻井作业中具有较大优势。钻杆在井下工作环境恶劣,如与井壁发生碰撞,将导致钻杆变形,降低其强度。笔者通过Ansys LS-DYNA以及Workbench进行仿真,研究Φ147 mm铝合金钻杆与孔壁碰撞后的变形状态,以及产生裂纹后对其强度进行分析。结果表明,Φ147 mm铝合金钻杆在使用过程中,钻杆主体段相对薄弱,在2 m/s的速度下与钻孔壁发生碰撞会产生塑性变形,从而降低铝合金钻杆的性能。钻杆主体段的裂纹长度1 mm时,在载荷作用下,将发生裂纹扩展,导致钻杆断裂。钻杆主体段有裂纹时,在疲劳载荷作用下,有裂纹的钻杆所能承受的载荷是无裂纹钻杆所能承受载荷的五分之一。     

东北三省全面振兴的社会经济支撑能力评估

在解析支撑能力和东北问题特点的基础上,从"创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享"五大理念出发建立全面振兴社会经济支撑能力评价指标体系和综合评价方法,以地级市为单元对东北三省进行评估。研究发现:各地市社会经济支撑能力差异显著,哈大沿线核心城市的支撑能力较强,西翼城市以及朝阳、七台河、绥化、葫芦岛、铁岭、双鸭山和鹤岗等资源型城市支撑能力较弱。因此未来东北地区在振兴政策的区域分布上应有所侧重,对不同地区施以不同的振兴或扶持政策。在创新、绿色、开放方面需要集中力量重点突破,而在体制机制改革和共享服务建设方面需要全面覆盖,并重点加强黑龙江北部和辽宁、吉林西翼城市的共享能力建设。     

外源NO对野生早熟禾幼苗抗寒性的影响

以野生草地早熟禾（Poa pratensis）和硬质早熟禾（Poa sphondylodes）为材料,通过人工室内模拟低温逆境胁迫,研究外源一氧化氮（NO）供体亚硝基铁氰化钠（硝普钠,SNP）对低温胁迫下野生早熟禾幼苗生长、渗透调节和抗氧化系统的影响,探讨外源NO提高早熟禾抗寒性的生理机制。结果表明,低温胁迫下：0~700 μmol·L^-1浓度范围内,随SNP浓度的增大,两个供试材料的地上生物量和生长速度先增大后减小,相对膜透性、丙二醛（MDA）含量、游离脯氨酸（F-Pro）含量先减小后增大,可溶性糖（SS）和可溶性蛋白（SP）含量先增加后减小,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性先增强后减弱;高浓度NO产生伤害,低浓度NO则有保护作用;SNP浓度100 μmol·L^-1时,膜脂过氧化水平最低,渗透调节物质积累最多,保护酶活性最强,对低温胁迫的缓解效果最佳。硬质早熟禾对低温胁迫下外源NO的缓解较草地早熟禾敏感。     

中国西部及邻区活动地块边界带现代构造应力场

利用哈佛全球矩心矩张量解数据和许忠淮认为1920-1999年可靠的中国大陆震源机制解数据,反演了中国西部及邻区活动地块边界带上现代构造应力场.通过对FMSI反演程序多次的输入和检验,得到了边界带上的应力场.边界带上最大主压应力σ1轴绝大多数近水平.在90°E以西的中国西部大陆及邻区,σ1轴水平方向基本上为近SN向;在青藏高原的东北部,σ1轴水平方向基本上为近NE向;在青藏高原的东南部,σ1轴水平方向绕喜马拉雅构造东端顺时针方向旋转.最小主压应力σ3轴倾角呈两极分布,西域地块区内活动地块边界带和青藏地块区内东北缘部分段σ3轴倾角较陡,而青藏地块区内σ3轴倾角近水平,所以西域地块区和青藏地块区内东北部相对于其它大部分青藏地块区,有更多的逆冲地震.应力场在同一个边界带具有非均匀性.北天山带、南天山带、西秦岭—德令哈带、岷山—龙门山带和安宁河—小江带的非均匀性相对要小—些,西昆仑带、海原—祁连带、东昆仑带、玛尼—玉树带、澜沧江带和滇西西边界带的非均匀性相对要大,而喀喇昆仑—嘉黎带和喜马拉雅带的非均匀性最显著.由于震源机制解数据的限制,本文给出的是边界带上部分段的应力场.     

蔚广盆地南缘断裂带唐山口段山前断层活动性研究

蔚广盆地是山西地堑系北端京西北盆岭构造区内的一个半地堑盆地,蔚广盆地南缘断裂带为控制该盆地形成的边界断裂。该断裂带位于唐山口段的山前断裂在冲洪积扇体上形成了线性特征显著的断层陡坎。横跨断层陡坎开挖的探槽表明该条山前断裂属于全新世活动断裂,探槽揭示了2条活动断层以及相应的3次古地震事件。在距今约9ka时其中一条断层首次活动,之后在距今约7.3ka时该条断层再次活动并引发了另一条断层的形成与同步活动。最后它们又发生了第三次活动,而最新一次活动的时间由于相应地表沉积的缺失而无法获得。这3次古地震事件的累积垂直位错约为8.1m。估算出整条山前断裂的平均复发周期约为1.7ka、平均滑动速率约为1.6mm/a。此外还依据经验公式估算出了各次古地震的参考震级。     

新疆博格达山晚古生代地层的形成时代、物源及其演化:碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学证据

新疆博格达山主体由石炭系海相火山—沉积岩系组成, 以发育两期双峰式火山岩, 但不发育花岗岩为特征, 对其晚古生代地层时代的划分和演化争议较大.本文重点对博格达山北部两个晚古生代砂岩进行了碎屑锆石U-Pb年代学分析, 重新标定博格达山地区晚古生代地层的形成时代; 利用物源区的演化, 约束晚古生代构造演化.测年结果显示博格达上亚群砂岩的碎屑锆石表面年龄值分布范围较宽, 主峰年龄为343～284 Ma(80%), 次峰年龄为386～375 Ma(3%)、503～441 Ma(7%)和871～735 Ma(10%); 芦草沟组砂岩的碎屑锆石表面年龄值非常集中, 主峰年龄为358～279 Ma(97%), 次峰年龄为257～251 Ma(约3%).博格达山中部原石炭纪博格达群上亚群与西部和南部下芨芨槽群相当, 应属于早二叠世, 中部—东部的石炭—二叠纪界线应在博格达下亚群—上亚群或居里得能组—沙雷塞尔克组之间的不整合面之中.博格达北部地区晚二叠世以南侧天山物源区供给为主, 反映出晚古生代期间博格达山地区至少存在晚石炭世末和中二叠世两期构造隆升.结合区域火山岩与火山碎屑岩的研究, 认为博格达山地区晚古生代主要经历4个演化阶段: 早石炭世弧后盆地裂解阶段、晚石炭世碰撞拼贴阶段、早二叠世碰撞后伸展阶段、中-晚二叠世再次隆升到稳定阶段.     

Focal Mechanism Solutions of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake sequence from P-wave polarities and SH/P amplitude ratios: new results and implications

The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a major intraplate earthquake with M _w 7.9, occurred on the slowly deforming Longmenshan fault. To better understand the causes of this devastating earthquake, we need knowledge of the regional stress field and the underlying geodynamic processes. Here, we determine focal mechanism solutions (FMSs) of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake sequence (WES) using both P-wave first-motion polarity data and SH/P amplitude ratio (AR) data. As P-wave polarities are more reliable information, they are given priority over SH/P AR, the latter of which are used only when the former has loose constraint on the FMSs. We collect data from three categories: (1) permanent stations deployed by the China Earthquake Administration (CEA); (2) the Western Sichuan Passive Seismic Array (WSPSA) deployed by Institute of Geology, CEA; (3) global stations from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology. Finally, 129 events with magnitude over M _s 4.0 in the 2008 WES are identified to have well-constrained FMSs. Among them, 83 are well constrained by P-wave polarities only as shown by Cai et al. (Earthq Sci 24(1):115–125, 2011), and the rest of which are newly constrained by incorporating SH/P AR. Based on the spatial distribution and FMSs of the WES, we draw following conclusions: (1) the principle compressional directions of most FMSs of the WES are subhorizontal, generally in agreement with the conclusion given by Cai et al. (2011) but with a few modifications that the compressional directions are WNW–ESE around Wenchuan and ENE–WSW around Qingchuan, respectively. The subhorizontal compressional direction along the Longmenshan fault from SW to NE seems to have a left-lateral rotation, which agrees well with regional stress field inverted by former researchers (e.g., Xu et al., Acta Seismol Sin 30(5), 1987; Acta Geophys Sin 32(6), 1989; Cui et al., Seismol Geol 27(2):234–242, 2005); (2) the FMSs of the events not only reflected the regional stress state of the Longmenshan region, but also were obviously controlled by the faults to some extent, which was pointed out by Cai et al. (2011) and Yi et al. (Chin J Geophys 55(4):1213–1227, 2012); (3) while the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and some of its strong aftershocks released most of the elastic energy accumulated on the Longmenshan fault, some other aftershocks seem to occur just for releasing the elastic energy promptly created by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and some of its strong aftershocks. (4) Our results further suggest that the Longmenshan fault from Wenchuan to Beichuan was nearly fully destroyed by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and accordingly propose that there is less probability for great earthquakes in the middle part of the Longmenshan fault in the near future, although there might be a barrier to the southwest of Wenchuan and it is needed to pay some attention on it in the near future.
