Multifractal characteristics of general stress release（GSR）of earthquakes

Using multifractal spectrum estimating method based on the wavelet,the multifractal characteristics of GSR of earthquakes in China,Japan and New Zealand regions have been studied.It is shown that the multifractal spectra of GSR are obviously different in inter-and intra-plate regions.Moreover,though Japan and New ZeaIand are all located at the boundary of plates,West and East China are all characterized of continental tectonic structure,the multifractal spectra of GSR for both the two regions are also different.Further analysis shows that the natures of multifractal spectra of GSR are somehow related to the complexity of tectonics.     

基于相参X-波段海洋雷达的海表轮廓测量研究

X-波段海洋雷达测量所得海面散射单元的多普勒信息与散射单元的雷达视向速度密切相关。首先,基于符号多普勒估计方法,对X-波段雷达海面回波的多普勒频移信息进行了估计;在此基础上,应用各分辨单元回波的多普勒频移信息,建立了海浪表面轮廓的反演算法。该算法中,同时考虑了雷达入射角、方位角和雷达空间分辨率等因素对反演结果的影响。通过将反演结果与浮标测量数据相比较,发现雷达空间分辨率起到了类似低通滤波的作用,该作用对短重力波谱影响显著。同时,还应用加拿大麦克马斯特大学的IPIX雷达数据对海表轮廓进行了反演,并将反演所得有效波高、海浪周期与现场测量数据进行了比较,反演结果与现场测量结果吻合较好。     

Successive formula method for numerical analysis of vibrating response

The algorithm of successive formulas for computing numerical vibrating response of unequal time interval for a single-degree of freedom oscillator in linear cases are more systematically introduced in the paper. Some numerical analysis characteristics of the algorithm are discussed. It is proved that the algorithm is unconditionally stable and convergent. A computer program for simultaneous calculation of the relative displacement, the relative velocity and the absolute acceleration response spectra is edited in the paper. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,14, 236–242, 1992.

迎风坡暴雨预报中多普勒天气雷达资料两种散度反演方法的应用

简单介绍了由多普勒天气雷达径向风资料反演平均散度和径向散度的计算方法,以2004年7月11—12日暴雨过程为例说明两种散度在迎风坡暴雨跟踪、预报中的综合应用。分析结果表明：①平均散度可以作为降水跟踪、预测的背景场。降水出现之前,低层平均散度存在辐合;低层辐合加强或维持,整个区域降水将加强;辐合高度抬升到中层并维持,降水达到最强;辐合减弱并开始出现辐散,区域降水将逐渐结束。②根据径向散度的分布情况,可以提前2 h以上预报强降水的落区。强降水落在径向辐合大值区后部的较弱辐合区内,且弱辐合区强度越强,未来降水强度越大。因此,综合分析平均散度和径向散度随时间的变化,可以跟踪、预测降水的发展演变,特别是可以给出暴雨的大致落区。     

Introducing new design spectra derived from Italian recorded ground motions 1972 to 2017

The shape of design spectra, traditionally based on regions characterized by constant displacement, constant velocity, and constant acceleration, has been discussed from a conceptual point of view by Calvi (2018). In the same study, a formulation for the definition of the design spectra relying on four parameters was proposed. Predictive models are proposed herein to calculate these four parameters, conditional on magnitude and distance. These models were developed using a large number of recorded ground motions in Italy, and they allow defining combined spectral acceleration versus spectral displacement plots. Such design spectra are shown to reasonably interpolate the experimental data, resulting in acceleration and displacement demand that approximate the response spectra resulting from +1σ results obtained from recorded ground motions. While it is recognized that numerous additional parameter should be considered (eg, focal depth and fault distance, site amplification), it is also concluded that this approach to define the seismic demand is promising toward a rationalization of seismic design. A thorough application of the approach developed and preliminary tested in this work may result in a re‐visitation of seismic design approaches and, ultimately, in a more efficient use of the available resources.

Response spectra for differential motion of columns paper II: Out-of-plane response

It is shown that the common response spectrum method for synchronous ground motion can be extended to make it applicable for earthquake response analyses of extended structures experiencing differential out-of-plane ground motion. A relative displacement spectrum for design of first-story columns SDC (T, T_T, ζ, ζ_T, τ, δ) is defined. In addition to the natural period of the out-of-plane response, T, and the corresponding fraction of critical damping, ζ, this spectrum also depends on the fundamental period of torsional vibrations, T_T, and the corresponding fraction of critical damping, ζ_T, on the “travel time,” τ (of the waves in the soil over a distance of about one-half the length of the structure), and on a dimensionless factor δ, describing the relative response of the first floor. The new spectrum, SDC, can be estimated by using the empirical scaling equations for relative displacement spectra, SD, and for peak ground velocity, v_max. For recorded strong-motion acceleration, and for symmetric buildings, the new spectrum can be computed from Duhamel's integrals of two uncoupled equations for dynamics equilibrium describing translation and rotation of a two-degree-of-freedom system. This representation is accurate when the energy of the strong-motion is carried by waves in the ground the wavelengths of which are one order of magnitude or more longer than the characteristic length of the structure.     

Influence of Surface-Based Stable Layer Development on Asian Dust Behaviour Over Tokyo

The relationship between local meteorological fields and the behaviour of airborne Asian dust that arrived in the Tokyo metropolitan area on 1 April 2007 with the passage of a synoptic-scale cold front has been investigated through Doppler lidar observations, experiments using a regional atmospheric numerical model, and analyses of surface and upper-air meteorological observations. Results of the Doppler lidar observations showed that the Asian dust passed above the metropolitan area with strong south-westerly winds with speeds of 15–26 m s⁻¹. Meteorological fields reproduced by the numerical experiments showed the development of a surface-based stable layer in the metropolitan area caused by nocturnal radiational cooling near the ground surface and south-westerly warm air advection at upper levels. The blocking effect of the mountainous region located to the west of the metropolitan area induced an area of stagnant air inside the metropolitan area and promoted the stable layer development. Although strong downdrafts prevailed in the upper air, the airborne Asian dust did not spread to the ground when the stable layer was formed. These results strongly indicate that the developed stable layer prevented strong downdrafts from spreading to the ground, acting as an obstacle to the transport of the Asian dust particles from the upper air towards the ground. This is considered to be one of the main causes of the low appearance frequency of Asian dust phenomena near the ground in the Tokyo metropolitan area and eastern Japan.
