西安全新世环境变化及对人类活动的影响

为揭示西安地区全新世环境变化及其对人类活动的影响,论文运用土层元素含量、CaCO₃含量和磁化率等指标研究了白鹿塬全新世各土层发育时的环境变化。结果表明：该区的中全新世古土壤受到中等程度的化学风化,尚未达到脱钾阶段,土壤类型为亚热带黄棕壤。该层古土壤发育时的年均温度约为16 ℃,年均降水量约为920 mm。中全新世夏季风活动占主导地位,夏季风带来的降水量约为570 mm。晚全新世黄土受到低等程度的化学风化,具有碱性褐色土的特点,发育时的年均温度为11~13 ℃,年均降水量为600~700 mm。晚全新世夏季风活动与冬季风相近,夏季风带来的降水量在350 mm左右。在中全新世晚期的6000~5000 a BP之间,发生了气候变冷干的事件,在冷干事件期间土壤侵蚀强烈,当时堆积的黄土在广大地区受到侵蚀消失,仅在少数剖面存留。晚全新世黄土发育时的沙尘暴堆积率至少是中全新世古土壤发育时的2.3倍。中全新世气候温暖湿润,导致古土壤粘化强、持水性较好、含水量充足,非常利于当时温带作物和部分亚热带作物发展与农业生产,这是当时人类活动较强和村落分布较广的主要原因。晚全新世黄土也具有优良土壤的特性,当时降水量和土壤水分含量基本能够满足温带旱地农业生产的需要,这是晚全新世关中平原人类活动逐渐增强的重要原因之一。

Analysis of the tropical climate variability in a two-column framework

This work examines the relevance of a classical two-column modeling framework of the tropical climate in terms of observed natural variability. A method is developed to analyze the observed tropical climate in a simple framework that features a moist, ascending column and a dry, subsiding one. This method is used to analyze the natural variability of the tropical climate in the ERA40 reanalysis and in ISCCP satellite data. It appears that the seasonal cycle of the tropic-wide sea surface temperature (SST) is almost linearly linked to the seasonal cycle of the relative area of the moist regions, as predicted by the sensitivity of the two-column models. A more detailed analysis shows that this link is the product of a complex interaction and adjustments between the moist and dry regions. The seasonal cycle of low-cloud cover in the dry regions also appears to interact with the SST seasonal cycle: the low-cloud cover influences the tropic-wide SST via its direct radiative forcing on the local SST and it appears to be controlled by the SST difference between moist and dry regions. By contrast, the SST interannual variability appears to be driven by the El Ni?o Southern Oscillation (ENSO), with no significant impact from the changes in the relative area of the moist regions or in the low-cloud cover in the dry regions independently of the ENSO. ENSO-related changes in the area of moist regions and low-cloud cover constitute negative feedbacks on the ENSO-related SST variability.     

On the role of tides and strong wind events in promoting summer primary production in the Barents Sea

Tides and wind-driven mixing play a major role in promoting post-bloom productivity in subarctic shelf seas. Whether this is also true in the high Arctic remains unknown. This question is particularly relevant in a context of increasing Arctic Ocean stratification in response to global climatic change. We have used a three-dimensional ocean-sea ice-plankton ecosystem model to assess the contribution of tides and strong wind events to summer (June-August 2001) primary production in the Barents Sea. Tides are responsible for 20% (60% locally) of the post-bloom primary production above Svalbard Bank and east of the Kola Peninsula. By contrast, more than 9% of the primary production is due to winds faster than 8 m s⁻¹ in the central Barents Sea. Locally, this contribution reaches 25%. In the marginal ice zone, both tides and wind events have only a limited effect on primary production (<2%). Removing tides or winds faster than 8 m s⁻¹ promotes a regime more sustained by regenerated production with a f-ratio (i.e. the proportion of nitrate-based “new” primary production in the total primary production) that decreases by up to 26% (east of the Kola Peninsula) or 35% (central Barents Sea), respectively. When integrated over all Barents Sea sub-regions, tides and strong wind events account, respectively, for 6.8% (1.55 Tg C; 1 Tg C=10¹² g C) and 4.1% (0.93 Tg C) of the post-bloom primary production (22.6 Tg C). To put this in context, this contribution to summer primary production is equivalent to the spring bloom integrated over the Svalbard area. Tides and winds are significant drivers of summer plankton productivity in the Barents Sea.     

Velocity Structure Beneath Active Faults and Seismic Tectonic Characteristics in the Beijing Area

Velocity structure beneath active faults in the Beijing area has been discussed,based on the digital crustal model of velocity from deep seismic sounding profiles and tomography imaging of P waves. We found that there exists nearly vertical deep faults beneath the Shunyi Depression and the Machiko Depression,which are very likely to be seismogenic faults in the future. In the superficial crust,the north segment of the Shunyi-QianmenLiangxiang fault,the north segment of the Huangzhuang-Gaoliying fault and th...

一次积层混合云飞机播云对云微物理过程影响效应的分析

人工增雨效果评估主要关注的是催化后云和降水过程是否产生了预期的变化,这首先表现在云和降水的宏微观过程有无明显变化,因此了解播云作业后的云微物理结构的变化是很必要的.2009年4月18日在河北张家口进行了一次飞机播云实验,本文采用飞机探测所取得的PMS资料,分析了播云对云微物理过程影响,并进行了云物理因子综合研究.结果表明:催化后播云高度上液态含水量大幅度降低,粒子平均直径由催化前20.4μm增大到23.9 μm;云中粒子谱结构也发生很大的变化,催化后冰晶减少,降水尺度粒子显著增加;而且在播云1小时后影响区地面累计降雨量达到最大.
