Observation of organized structure in turbulent flow within and above a forest canopy

Ramp patterns of temperature and humidity occur coherently at several levels within and above a deciduous forest as shown by data gathered with up to seven triaxial sonic anemometer/thermometers and three Lyman-alpha hygrometers at an experimental site in Ontario, Canada. The ramps appear most clearly in the middle and upper portion of the forest. Time/height cross-sections of scalar contours and velocity vectors, developed from both single events and ensemble averages of several events, portray details of the flow structures associated with the scalar ramps. Near the top of the forest they are composed of a weak ejecting motion transporting warm and/or moist air out of the forest followed by strong sweeps of cool and/or dry air penetrating into the canopy. The sweep is separated from the ejecting air by a sharp scalar microfront. At approximately twice the height of the forest, ejections and sweeps are of about equal strength.In the middle and upper parts of the canopy, sweeps conduct a large proportion of the overall transfer between the forest and the lower atmosphere, with a lesser contribution from ejections. Ejections become equally important aloft. During one 30-min run, identified structures were responsible for more than 75% of the total fluxes of heat and momentum at mid-canopy height. Near the canopy top, the transition from ejection of slow moving fluid to sweep bringing fast moving air from above is very rapid but, at both higher and lower levels, brief periods of upward momentum transfer occur at or immediately before the microfront.     

1812年3月8日新疆尼勒克8级大震

1812年3月8日新疆尼勒克县发生的8级大震造成了极强烈的地表形变,产生了长达65公里的地震断裂带,其垂直位移可达10米,右旋水平位移在1.5米以上。极震区有多处构造塌陷、滑坡和崩塌,巨型塌陷的面积达2平方公里,滑坡体后缘最宽可达2公里,震中烈度110度强。本文根据现场考察及对航片的研究,结合历史记载勾绘了这次地震的烈度等震线,对地震的震级、震中位置、震源深度、地震矩、应力降和震源机制解等进行了计算和讨论,并对发震的地质构造背景进行了初步的探讨。     

Application of mercury survey technique over the mausoleum of emperor qin shi huang

A detailed mercury survey was carried out over the mausoleum of the famous Emperor Qin Shi Huang. A strong, well defined anomaly was found in soil samples collected on the central part of the tomb mound. The anomaly presented a direct evidence for the authenticity of the accounts stated in Shi Ji (the first comprehensive Chinese historical writing completed about 109-91 B.C.) that there existed a large mercury reservoir in the underground basement of the Emperor's mausoleum.     

A study of water balance in china

The water balance in C'hina is studied in this paper, which follows the papers on the radiation balance and the heat balance in China. Using the data from more than 200 meteorological stations for 1961-1970 and about 200 hydrometric stations bcforc1972, we, through the equation of water balance, have calculated the monthly and annual amounts of precipitation, evaporation, run-off and soil water variation. The water balance and the hydroclimatological characteristics of China arc given.

一次梅雨暴雨过程的数值模拟

利用中尺度10层湿模式对一次梅雨暴雨过程作了数值模拟,较好地模拟了次天气或中间尺度系统的演变。由模拟结果分析表明: 1.形成暴雨的次天气或中间尺度系统的演变,雨带、暴雨中心位置和强度变化在低层涡度场上反映最清晰。与暴雨中心直接关联的是低层正涡度中心。这次过程中,两次正涡度中心的东移形成了前、后两次降水。 2.当低层正涡度中心移近或叠置在高层负涡度中心之下时,其强度增强,中层上升运动与暴雨也加强。它们是流场上高、低空急流之间动力耦合作用的结果。 3.雨区上空,边界层顶附近存在着一个主要表现为湿度逆增的湿暖盖——θ_(?e)高值中心。它与强风暴中的暖盖不同。此湿暖盖的形成和维持与西南急流输送暖湿气流有关。它的存在不仅有利于暴雨区水汽和能量的辐合,还有利于积云尺度对流的不断诱发,而且它的存在更构成了中层为不稳定,低层为稳定这一对流层的层结结构特点,从而使不稳定的对流降水叠加在稳定性降水之上,构成了梅雨锋大暴雨。     

震源区的断层构造与震源应力积累过程关系的实验研究

本实验研究了地壳内对压组合构造和对张组合构造中垂断层蠕滑,破裂错动时对主震断层(底断层)应力积累过程的影响,并结合实际地震活动中的一些现象进行了讨论。所得结论如下: 1.当垂断层蠕滑时,对压组合构造中垂直于底断层的压应力增大,它可以延迟主震发生但增大发震的能量;对张组合构造中垂直于底断层的压应力减小,剪应力略有增大,因而可以促使主震发生。2.如果垂断层某一部分为原来锁住的愈合断层或为完整介质,当其突然破裂错动时,可以使对张组合构造中的底断层的剪应力突然增大,同时压应力减小,因此前震序列中这类垂断层上的较大前震可看作底断层上主震即将来临的信号。3.由垂断层破裂前后单轴压力不变和位移不变的实验结果说明了地壳中主震断层应力集中的过程。4.底断层的主震破裂可以使处于引张状态的垂断层上余震发育甚至发生强余震。本文还应用实验结果对前震活动的条带现象进行了解释,这将有助于判定对压组合构造中主震的断层面。

Factors affecting zircon metamictization in granites

Characteristics of metamict zircon and its relationship to granites are reviewed. The degree of metamictization of zircon increases with increasing acidity and alkali contents of the granites. It is evident that zircon metamictization is caused mainly by radioactive radiation from radioactive elements contained in it rather than by hydrolysis.     

Research Status and Progress of Balloon-borne Cloud and Precipitation Particles Probe

The accurate observation of the microphysical structure of cloud and precipitation plays an important role in understanding the formation of clouds and precipitation. In-situ measurement using measuring instruments carried by meteorological balloons is an effective way to obtain the microphysical properties of cloud and precipitation particles, which is a supplementary means for aircraft to observe cloud and precipitation particles. This observation method plays a more and more important role in in-situ measurement. According to the difference of the working principle of the existing balloon-borne cloud and precipitation particles probes, the detectors can be divided into particle impact-sampling sensors, particle imaging sensors, light-scattering sensors, light intensity attenuation sensors and charge measurement sensors. The working principles, key technologies and main advantages and disadvantages of typical instruments were summarized, and their applications to detailed cloud structure acquisition, cloud remote sensing method establishment, cloud and precipitation physical process research and parameterization, and scientific observation of thunderstorm clouds were briefly introduced. Finally, the development trend of balloon-borne cloud precipitation particle detectors was prospected, which will provide reference for related technical research and equipment development.
