印度南Kerala地区孔兹岩—紫苏花岗岩组合—早元古宙地壳的证据

Achankovil剪切带南侧,南Kerala地区孔兹岩—紫苏花岗岩组合至今被认为其年龄为太古代,然而最近的研究提出一些证据认为它是在元古代广泛活动的。南Kerala地区前寒武纪结晶基底地体组成了西Ghats大陆边缘带的南部部分,同时包括了麻粒岩相变质的产物,这些变质产物主要属于孔兹岩系,它包括石榴石—矽线石片麻岩±石墨和石榴—黑云母片麻岩。偶尔在片麻岩地体中可看到条带状紫苏花岗岩。这两种岩系经常被包围在石榴石—石英—长石新生体中。引人注目的紫苏花岗岩边同样在混合岩化片麻岩中发育。眼球状片麻岩出露于Trivandrum的南部,同时在Acha-nkovil剪切带中可见到孤立的带状堇青石片麻岩。所有这些都被早二叠纪伟晶岩(So-     

印度季风雨和南方涛动、半球气温、海温的关系(节译)

6～9月的印度季风雨和圣地亚哥站减去达尔文站的气压差、塔希蒂站减去达尔文站的气压差以及赖特的南方涛动指数之间存在着相关,并显示出除了圣地亚哥的单站气压,其它各站的单站气压偏差、南方涛动指数,都可由季风雨得到预兆。季风雨和热带东太平洋海温之间存在着1～2个的滞后负相关关系。一个多雨的季风和2-3个月后的南半球负距平温度相联结。此外,北半球的暖冬,特别是大陆的暖温,又预兆着一个多雨的季风。这种半球温度和季风雨的关系,在1947年之后是显著的。再则在季风出现前的12～2月、3～5月的达尔文站的气压变化和季风雨之间有强相关(-0.64),但这种强相关只表现在1947～1984年期间,而1947年前,这种相关又表现得很弱。     

World population in a grid of spherical quadrilaterals

"We report on a project that converted subnational population data to a raster of cells on the earth. We note that studies using satellites as collection devices yield results indexed by latitude and longitude. Thus it makes sense to assemble the terrestrial arrangement of people in a compatible manner. This alternative is explored here, using latitude/longitude quadrilaterals as bins for population information.... The results to date of putting world boundary coordinates together with estimates of the number of people are described. The estimated 1994 population of 219 countries, subdivided into 19,032 polygons, has been assigned to over six million five minute by five minute quadrilaterals covering the world."     

I AND UTILIZATION IN KUNMING LAKE REGION, YUNNAN

The Kunming Lake, with an area of 324 sq. kin. during its flood water time, is the largest lake in Eastern Yunnan. More than twenty streams from the surrounding mountains empty into the lake which is drained by the TangLang River to the upper Yangtze. Around the Kunming Lake is an extensive     

Modeling tropical river runoff: A time dependent approach

Forecasting of rainfall and subsequent river runoff is important for many operational problems and applications related to hydrology. Modeling river runoff often requires rigorous mathematical analysis of vast historical data to arrive at reasonable conclusions. In this paper we have applied the stochastic method to characterize and predict river runoffofthe perennial Kulfo River in southem Ethiopia. The time series analysis based auto regressive integrated moving average （ARIMA） approach is applied to mean monthly runoff data with 10 and 20 years spans. The varying length of the input runoff data is shown to influence the forecasting efficiency of the stochastic process. Preprocessing of the runoff time series data indicated that the data do not follow a seasonal pattern. Our forecasts were made using parsimonious non seasonal ARIMA models and the results were compared to actual 10-year and 20-year mean monthly runoff data of the Kulfo River. Our results indicate that river runoff forecasts based upon the 10-year data are more accurate and efficient than the model based on the 20-year time series.     

THE OROGENIC MOVEMENTS IN CHINA

I approach the subject of this address with a good deal of diffidence. For during the last years I have not done any geological work and am therefore not only unfamiliar with geological literature in general, but even out of touch with the work done by my old colleagues in the Survey. Then     

南极及周边海域的地震活动性

根据国际地震中心(ISC)编修的1964~2002年期间的数据评估了南极及周边海域的地震活动性。几十年来,南极大陆及周边海域被认为是全球的无震区之一。然而,在全球地震台网及区域地震台阵建成之后,在南极大陆及其周边区域监测到了许多构造地震。南极及周边区域可以分为13个地震区,其中3个在陆区,另外10个在海区。威尔克斯地是南极大陆最活跃的区域,在这里监测并定位到了几次小震。在南极周边海域中,120°~60°W扇形区域的地震活动性比别的海区强3倍。这可能主要是应力向南极板块、太平洋板块和纳兹卡次板块形成的复活节岛三重交汇区集中引起的。迪塞普申岛、埃里伯斯山、墨尔本山这3座火山区也是地震活跃区。     

NOTES ON THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE SPIRIFER TINGI BEDS OF KUEITING.

The corals described by Dr. Grabau in the preceding pages came from a place 350 m W. of the village of Machiat(?)un, which is situated 11.7 kilometers east of the district city of Kueiting in Kweichow province. The specimens from locality T107 were found in situ and those from T107a were collected from the slabs used for pavement right besides locality T107.
