Studies on Suction-Assisted Installation Behavior of Suction Caissons in Clay Under Various Undrained Shear Strengths

Suction caissons are widely used for anchoring floating platform and offshore wind turbines. Penetration of the suction caisson into the desired position under the combination of its self-weight and applied suction resulted from pumping out the encased water is integral to practical engineering. Model tests were carried out to investigate the suctionassisted installation of suction caissons in clay under various undrained shear strengths. It was found that there exists a critical penetration dep...

Discovery of Palaeozoic Karsts in the Qaidam Basin and Their Oil and Gas Prospects

正Objective Complex geological factors have been constraining the oil and gas exploration in the Paleozoic strata of the Qaidam Basin,although there are high-quality hydrocarbon source rocks.One of the most important reasons may be reservoir densification due to the multiple stages of destructive cementation,which has hindered our understanding of the Paleozoic petroleum enrichment rules in the Qaidam basin.In recent years,the petroleum     

New type of potassium deposit: Modal analysis and preparation of potassium carbonate

A new type of insoluble potassium ore, newly found in North China, consists of microcline, dolomite, and pyroclastic particles of silty to clayey grade, falling into potassic dolomitic mudstone in petrological no-menclature. The geological surveys and explorations of the deposit by the Tianjin Bureau of Geological Survey evidenced that the main bodies of the potas-sium deposit elongated up to 1600 m with an average thickness about 85 m, and the concentration of potas-sium as K2O was around 1…     

Origin of Boron in the Gas Hure Salt Lake of NorthwesternQaidam Basin,China: Evidence from Hydrochemistry andBoron Isotopes

The Gas Hure Salt Lake(GHSL) in the northwestern Qaidam Basin, western China, is rich in boron(B)resources, but its B-resource origin is hardly known. Hydrochemical compositions and B isotope characteristics of different waters were collected around the GHSL, including the river water, stream water, spring water, salt-lake brine,intercrystalline brine, well water, drilling brine, and solar pond brine. The hydrochemical signatures suggest that silicates,carbonates and evaporates are the main B-bearing rocks during the water dynamic. The reservoir estimation of B resources shows that the Kulamulekesay River(KLMR) and the Atekan River(ATKR) contribute annually 18.3 tons and 22.84 tons of B, respectively, with a total amount of 11.72 × 10~4 tons of B during the past 5.7 ka. In comparison with the known B reservoir(32.96 × 10~4 tons) in the GHSL, a significant amount of B in the GHSL was probably recharged from deep fluids and sediments around the GHSL. The B concentration and B-enrichment degree are shaped by the evaporation process,which are highly elevated at the carnallite and bischofite stages.     

Petrogenesis of the Langdu High–K Calc–Alkaline Intrusions in Yunnan Province: Constraints from Geochemistry and Sr–Nd Isotopes

The Langdu high-K calc-alkaline intrusions are located in the Zhongdian area, which is the southern part of the Yidun island arc. These intrusive rocks consist mainly of monzonite porphyry, granodiorite, and diorite porphyry. The K2O content of majority of these rocks is greater than 3%, and, in the K2O-SiO2 diagram, all the samples fall into the high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic fields. They are enriched in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and depleted in heavy rare earth elements (HREEs; LaN/YbN = 14.3-21.2), and show slightly negative Eu anomalies (δEu = 0.77-1.00). These rocks have high K, Rb, Sr, and Ba contents; moderate to high enrichment of compatible elements (Cr = 36.7-79.9 ppm, Co = 9.6-16.4 ppm, and MgO = 2.2%-3.4%); low Nb, Ta, and Ti contents, and characteristic of low high field strength elements(HFSEs) versus incompatible elements ratios (Nb/Th = 0.75, Nb/La = 0.34) and incompatible elements ratios (Nb/U = 3.0 and Ce/Pb = 5.1, Ba/Rb = 12.0). These rocks exhibit restricted Sr and Nd isotopic compositions, with (87Sr/86Sr) i values ranging from 0.7044 to 0.7069 and εNd(t) values from -2.8 to -2.2. The Sr-Nd isotope systematic and specific trace element ratios suggest that Langdu high-K calc-alkaline intrusive rocks derived from a metasomatized mantle source. The unique geochemical feature of intrusive rocks can be modeled successfully using different members of a slightly enriched mantle, a slab-derived fluid, and terrigenous sediments. It can be inferred that the degree of partial melting and the presence of specific components are temporally related to the tectonic evolution of the Zhongdian island arc. Formation of these rocks can be explained by the various degrees of melting within an ascending region of the slightly enriched mantle, triggered by the subduction of the Garzê-Litang ocean, and an interaction between the slab-derived fluid and the terrigenous sediments.     

The Optimized Short-Range Ensemble Forecast Based on Singular Vector Calculations

In ensemble forecast,by summing up ensemble members,filtering the uncertainty,and retaining the common component,the ensemble mean with a better result can be achieved.However,the filtering works only when the initial perturbation develops nonlinearly.If the initial perturbation propagates in a linear space,the positive and negative members will counteract,leading to little difference between ensemble mean and control forecast and finally insignificant ensemble result.In 1 2-day ensemble forecast,based on singular vector (SV) calculations,to avoid this insignificance,the counteracting members originated from the same SV are advised not to put into the ensemble system together;the only candidate should be the one with the better forecast.Based on the ingredient analysis of initial perturbation development,a method to select ensemble members is presented in this paper,which can fulfill the above requirement.The regional model MM5V1 of NCAR/PSU (National Center for Atmosphere Research/Pennsylvania State University) and its corresponding tangent adjoint model are used.The ensemble spread and forecast errors are calculated with dry energy norm.Two mesoscale lows on the Meiyu front along the Yangtze River are examined.According to the analysis of the perturbation ingredient,among couples of counteracting members from different SVs,those members performing better always have smaller or greater spread compared with other members.Following this thinking,an optimized ensemble and an inferior ensemble are identified.The ensemble mean of the optimized ensemble is more accurate than that of the inferior ensemble,and the former also performs better than the traditional ensemble with positive and negative members simultaneously.As for growth of the initial perturbation,those initial perturbations originated from the summed SVs grow more quickly than those from the single SV,and they enlarge the range of spread of the ensemble effectively,thus leading to better performance of ensemble members.
