A Case Study on the Effects of Heterogeneous Soil Moisture on Mesoscale Boundary-Layer Structure in the Southern Great Plains, U.S.A. Part II: Mesoscale Modelling

The importance of soil moisture inputs and improved model physics in the prediction of the daytime boundary-layer structure during the Southern Great Plains Hydrology Experiment 1997 (SGP97) is investigated using the non-hydrostatic fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University/National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU/NCAR) Mesoscale Model MM5. This is Part II of a two-part study examining the relationship of surface heterogeneity to observed boundary-layer structure. Part I focuses on observations and utilizes a simple model while Part II uses observations and MM5 modelling. Soil moisture inputs tested include a lookup table based on soil type and season, output from an offline land-surface model (LSM) forced by atmospheric observations, and high-resolution ( 800 m) airborne microwave remotely sensed data. Model physics improvements are investigated by comparing an LSM directly coupled with the MM5 to a simpler force-restore method at the surface. The scale of land surface heterogeneities is compared to the scale of their effects on boundary-layer structure.The use of more detailed soil moisture fields allowed the MM5 to better represent the large-scale (hundreds of km) and small-scale (tens of km) horizontal gradients in surface-layer weather and, to a lesser degree, the atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) height, which was evaluated against observations measured by differential absorption lidar (DIAL). The benefits of coupling an LSM to the MM5 were not readily evident in this summertime case, with the model having particular difficulty simulating the timing of maximum surface fluxes while underestimating the depth of the mixed layer.     

结构面中粘土矿物及含水率变化对边坡稳定性影响的试验研究

以南京某边坡结构面中的滑带土为研究对象,定量分析不同的滑带土颗粒级配情况下,岩质边坡结构面中粘土矿物含量及含水率的变化对边坡稳定性影响机制及变化规律.随着粘土矿物的增加,安全系数值整体上呈现减小的趋势,安全系数在45％～55％之间时达到最低;随含水率的增加,安全系数值也呈下降的趋势.采用了粒子群算法对试验成果作以解析,结果显示,随着粘土矿物含量的增加,安全系数的变化为非线性,但始终表现出较好的相关性,其相关系数由小变大;安全系数值与含水率呈现出一种负相关的线性关系,且保持较高的相关性,相关系数在0.90以上,较符合一般的自然规律.     

利用CT扫描对粗砂土中甲烷水合物形成过程中水分迁移特征的分析

多孔介质中甲烷水合物的形成及分解实验研究,对于了解多年冻土中天然气水合物的赋存有重要意义.通过X射线扫描系统对粗砂土中甲烷水合物的形成及分解过程中反应釜内水分的空间变化进行分析,结果表明:粗砂土中甲烷水合物的形成和分解过程中,CT数在反应釜内有明显的空间变化特征,且这个空间变化特征与甲烷水合物在粗砂土中形成、分解过程中水分的迁移是密切相关的.通过对不同阶段CT扫描所获得图像CT值的空间变化特征进行分析,可以看出:在甲烷水合物的生成过程中,反应釜内下半部分的水分会向上半部分迁移,以弥补上半部分水分的不足;在甲烷水合物分解过程中,分解所释放出来的水分会由反应釜上半部分向下半部分回迁,最终达到自然分布.     

Soil contamination from urban and industrial activity: example of the mining district of Linares (southern Spain)

The Linares region (southern Spain) has been subjected to two important sources of pollution: the intensive mining works and the urban-industrial activity. To obtain a geochemical characterisation of the soil, 31 trace elements were analysed and 669 soil samples were collected. By means of clustering analysis, we identified groups of elements and grid squares in which relations could be established concerning soil lithology, urban and industrial activities and the degree of pollution impact; in addition, we were able to characterise the geochemical background of the study area. The multivariate study led us to identify four factors. Particularly important was factor 2, which represented the elements associated with mineral paragenesis (Cu, Pb, As, Co, Mn, Zn, Sn, Ba). This factor also contains elements related with an urban-industrial activity, such as Pb, Cu, Zn, As and Ba. Furthermore, we identified factor 4, associating Ni, V and Cr, and which is related to the use of fuels.     

阳城煤矿瓦斯地质规律研究

运用沉积学、构造地质学、煤地质学、数学分析等相关学科和方法,综合分析瓦斯涌出量的地质构造、顶底板岩性、上覆基岩厚度等地质因素,对阳城地区瓦斯含量、涌出量进行量化预测,并作出其全井田瓦斯含量、涌出量的等值线图。研究表明,阳城井田属低瓦斯矿井,瓦斯含量的变化主要与煤层埋深有关,随着煤层上覆基岩厚度以及煤层埋深的增高,瓦斯含量与涌出量在区内由北向南有增高趋势。     

断裂静止期有无输导油气能力的判别方法

通过断裂内部结构及输导通道特征研究,得到断裂静止期输导油气通道主要是碎裂岩的连通孔隙,其是否具有输导油气能力主要取决于碎裂岩颗粒粒度、泥质含量和断裂倾角大小。在此基础上,利用物理模拟实验模拟了油气在浮力作用下沿断裂碎裂岩运移速度与碎裂岩颗粒粒度、泥质含量和断裂倾角之间的关系。利用此关系建立了一套断裂静止期有无输导油气能力的判别方法,即运移速度大于零,断裂具输导油气能力,反之则无。并将其应用于海拉尔盆地苏仁诺尔断裂静止期在各组地层中有无输导油气能力的判别中,其结果与地下油气分布情况相符,表明该方法定量判别断裂静止期有无输导油气能力是可行的。     

中国西沙海域永兴岛—七连屿海域鱼体内有机污染物含量特征与来源解析及风险评价

环境中的有机污染物对生态系统和人类健康产生严重威胁。有机污染物在全球海域鱼体内普遍检出,且长期食用会对人类造成一定的健康风险。为研究中国西沙海域鱼体内有机污染物污染情况、来源及生态风险,本文利用气相色谱-质谱法(GC-MS)分析测定了永兴岛和七连屿鱼体内有机氯农药(OCPs)、多环芳烃(PAHs)和多氯联苯(PCBs)的含量,采集了包括蜂巢石斑鱼、红裸颊鲷、黑身蓝子鱼在内的17种鱼类共50条。结果表明：鱼体内OCPs、PAHs和PCBs的总含量均值范围分别为2.23～91.57ng/g ww、2.11～31.70ng/g ww和1.55～54.04ng/g ww,平均值分别为32.50ng/g ww、17.29ng/g ww和18.79ng/g ww,中位数分别为16.92ng/g ww、13.34ng/g ww和7.61ng/g ww。双对氯苯基三氯乙烷(DDTs)类农药在美欧沿海鱼体内的含量分别为0.65～107.6ng/g ww和763～5357ng/g lw,中国浙江沿海水域鱼体内PAHs含量为10.4～140ng/g ww,地中海、意大利沿海和美国查尔斯顿港口采集的鱼体内PCBs含量分别为1234～12327ng/g lw、56.8～4791ng/g lw和5.02～232.20ng/g ww,研究区DDTs和PAHs含量水平处于全球海域的低端,推测由于研究区远离污染源。利用DDTs/[双对氯苯基二氯乙烯(DDE)+双对氯苯基二氯乙烷(DDD)]比值来判断DDTs的来源,研究区50%鱼体内DDTs/(DDE+DDD)＞1,表明中国西沙海域有部分新近输入的DDTs,研究区沉积物来源为陆源,推测中国西沙海域DDTs为陆源DDTs和永兴岛农业活动的综合作用。利用蒽(ANT)/[ANT+菲(PHE)]比值＞0.1或该比值＜0.1来判断PAHs的来源是燃烧源还是石油源,研究区88%鱼体内ANT/(ANT+PHE)＞0.1,表明PAHs来源于化石燃料燃烧。风险评价结果显示,鱼体内OCPs和PCBs生态风险低。     

Methodological comparison for quantitative analysis of fossil and recently derived carbon in mine soils with high content of aliphatic kerogen

In mine soil, quantification of soil organic carbon (OC) derived recently from biomass decomposition is complicated by the presence of fossil (geogenic) C derived from coal, oil shale, or similar material in the overburden. The only reliable method for such measurement is ¹⁴C analysis (i.e. radiocarbon dating) using instrumentation such as accelerator mass spectrometry, which is too expensive for routine laboratory analysis. We tested two previously used and two new methods for recent C quantification and compared them with ¹⁴C AMS radiocarbon dating as a reference using a set of soil samples (n = 14) from Sokolov, Czech Republic: (i) ¹³C isotope ratio composition, (ii) cross polarization magic angle spinning ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS ¹³C NMR) spectroscopy, (iii) near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) coupled with partial least squares regression and (iv) Rock–Eval pyrolysis. Conventional methods for OC determination (dry combustion, wet dichromate oxidation, loss-on-ignition) were also compared to quantify any bias connected with their use. All the methods provided acceptable recent carbon estimates in the presence of mostly aliphatic fossil C from kerogen. However, the most accurate predictions were obtained with two approaches using Rock–Eval pyrolysis parameters as predictors, namely (i) S₂ curve components and (ii) oxygen index (OI). The S₂ curve approach is based on the lower thermal stability of recent vs. fossil organic matter. The OI approach corresponded well with ¹³C NMR spectra, which showed that samples rich in recent C were richer in carboxyl C and O-alkyl C. These two methods showed the greatest potential as routine methods for recent C quantification.     

川南地区龙马溪组页岩有机质特征及其对页岩含气量的影响

四川盆地南部地区广泛发育下古生界寒武系、志留系等多套海相页岩层,其中龙马溪组是该区页岩气勘探开发的重点目标层。根据钻井岩心资料,通过有机碳、热解、碳同位素、等温吸附等地球化学实验分析,对川南地区下志留统龙马溪组页岩的有机质特征及其对页岩含气量的影响进行了研究。结果表明,川南地区龙马溪组页岩有机碳含量较高(平均1.53%),有机质类型较好(Ⅰ型和Ⅱ1型),热演化程度高(Ro为1.94%~2.42%),且页岩含气量较高(平均1.85m3/t)。页岩有机质特征是影响页岩含气量的主要因素,有机质丰度、有机质类型和热演化程度三者共同决定了川南地区龙马溪组页岩的含气量。
