沟谷地形参数对滑坡运动距离的影响研究

滑坡运动场地上的沟谷地形,对滑坡运动产生约束、偏转、导流、阻止等作用,导致了滑坡运动距离的差异。根据滑坡滑源区、运移区的运动方向与沟谷堆积区延伸方向的夹角,将沟谷型滑坡划分为沟谷顺直型和沟谷偏转型两种类型。通过建立滑坡体积、沟谷地形参数与运动参数的非线性回归模型,分析体积及地形参数变化率对沟谷型滑坡运动距离变化的影响特征。研究表明:随体积增加,沟谷顺直型和沟谷偏转型滑坡的运动距离差异逐渐增大。体积作为滑坡运动距离的显著性因素,其原因在于滑坡体积在数量级上的差异,而在同一数量级内,体积变化仅对沟谷型滑坡最大水平运动距离变化的影响最大;滑源区和沟谷堆积区坡度的变化对垂直运动距离和堆积区水平运动距离影响大于滑坡体积。偏转角度对沟谷偏转型滑坡运动距离的影响较小,其原因在于沟谷区地形坡度显著影响了偏转角度对滑坡运动距离的作用。研究结果为沟谷型滑坡的致灾程度评估提供了参考依据。

Responses of soil moisture at different topographic positions to rainfall events along a steep subtropical forested hillslope

Understanding the dynamic response of soil moisture to rainfall is crucial for describing hydrological processes at the hillslope scale. However, because of sparse monitoring coupled with the complexity of water movement and steep topography, the findings of rainfall-related soil moisture dynamics have not always been consistent, indicating a need for systematic investigations of soil moisture dynamics and infiltration patterns following rainfall inputs at multiple topographic positions along a hillslope. This study aimed to examine the nature of these responses by characterizing and quantifying the response amplitude, rate and time for 37 large rainfall events at 25 combinations of topographic positions and soil depths along a steep forested hillslope. Our results showed that soil moisture responses under different rainfall patterns could be attributed to one or the other rainfall characteristics, such as rainfall intensity and amount. However, soil moisture dynamics at different hillslope positions after rainfall varied widely due to the controls of soil properties, topography, and non-equilibrium flow. Preferential flow was more evident under dry initial soil conditions than under wet initial soil conditions. Findings of this study reveal that the dynamic response patterns of soil moisture to rainfall do not always follow topographic controls, which can improve our understanding of water cycling related to the infiltration process at the hillslope scale, and support water resources management in subtropical mountain ecosystems.     

SPATIAL VARIATIONS OF SHEET FLOW AND SEDIMENT TRANSPORT ON AN AGRICULTURAL FIELD

This paper presents the spatial and temporal variations of sheet flow and sediment transport on an agricultural field under natural rainfall. The study site is located in western France (Rennes, Brittany) where rainfall amount and intensity are moderate. It is a field of garden-peas presenting a convex–concave gentle slope where only sheet flow is observed. A network of simple, low-cost collectors is used to measure sheet flow and sediment transport along the slope and to estimate the spatial variability for a given position on the slope. The water and sediment discharge was measured for each rainfall event from February to June. The analysis of space and time variations according to the characteristics of the rainfall events, changes in vegetation and soil crusting shows that the sheet flow is low and the runoff coefficient decreases as the slope length increases. Infiltration is particularly active in concave parts of the hillslope whatever the characteristics of the rainfall events. Sediment transport decreases in time as the soil crusts and vegetation develops.     

CORRELATIONS BETWEEN DEM-DERIVED TOPOGRAPHIC INDICES AND REMOTELY-SENSED VEGETATION COVER IN RANGELANDS

The paper describes an attempt to relate patterns of vegetation cover with topography and a set of biological and grazing intensity variables in a mountain and piedmont area of arid central Australia. Vegetation cover, as measured by an index based on data from the Landsat satellite, can also be used as an erosion/deposition surrogate so the results have implications for distributed erosion models. A simple, analytically based erosion model derived from the continuity equation does not reproduce observed patterns of vegetation cover, and neither do various topographically based moisture indices. A regression approach shows that patterns of vegetation cover are related to topography but the most important predictors are biological ones, with percentage of bare ground upslope being the strongest. Tests with variable drainage area show that relationships between cover and topography, bare area upslope and grazing effects change systematically with basin size and that scale effects are present. Distributed erosion models are not yet capable of handling biological processes very well, yet these processes must be incorporated if erosion prediction is to be successful.     

An extended time-dependent numerical model of the mild-slope equation with weakly nonlinear amplitude dispersion

In the present paper, by introducing the effective wave elevation, we transform the extended ellip- tic mild-slope equation with bottom friction, wave breaking and steep or rapidly varying bottom topography to the simplest time-dependent hyperbolic equation. Based on this equation and the empirical nonlinear amplitude dispersion relation proposed by Li et al. (2003), the numerical scheme is established. Error analysis by Taylor expansion method shows that the numerical stability of the present model succeeds the merits in Song et al. (2007)’s model because of the introduced dissipation terms. For the purpose of verifying its performance on wave nonlinearity, rapidly vary- ing topography and wave breaking, the present model is applied to study: (1) wave refraction and diffraction over a submerged elliptic shoal on a slope (Berkhoff et al., 1982); (2) Bragg reflection of monochromatic waves from the sinusoidal ripples (Davies and Heathershaw, 1985); (3) wave transformation near a shore attached breakwater (Watanabe and Maruyama, 1986). Comparisons of the numerical solutions with the experimental or theoretical ones or with those of other models (REF/DIF model and FUNWAVE model) show good results, which indicate that the present model is capable of giving favorably predictions of wave refraction, diffraction, reflection, shoaling, bottom friction, breaking energy dissipation and weak nonlinearity in the near shore zone.

多云天气下海南岛地形对局地海风环流结构影响的数值模拟

采用WRF中尺度天气预报模式,针对海南岛多云天气条件下的一次典型海风个例,对局地海风环流结构进行数值模拟,分析海风环流的演变特征,并通过设计改变海南岛地形的敏感性试验,探究地形对海南岛局地海风环流结构以及云水分布的影响。结果表明:海岛西部陡峭的山区造成海风强迫抬升,偏南背景风使得海岛北部高空回流明显,海岛西部、北部的海风结构较为完整;地形高度越高,海岛南部山区的阻挡作用越强,西部地区的海风高空回流特征越显著,西部、西北部云水混合比的位置也越深入内陆;受南海季风的影响,与晴空天气相比,多云天气下海风强盛期全岛的最大风速稍大,海风在垂直方向上达到的高度更高;移平地形后,多云天气下全岛风速平均仅减少2~3 m·s^-1,而晴空天气下全岛风速则大大减弱,即多云天气下海风环流水平结构受地形的影响比晴空天气下弱。
