Circulation Around Luzon Strait in September as Inferred from CTD,Argos and Argo Measurements and a Generalized Topography-Following Ocean Model

The hydrography, wind, Argos and Argo measurements in the areas surrounding Luzon Strait were collected. Based on the hydrographic data obtained during September 1994, the improved Princeton Ocean Model using a generalized topography-following coordinate system together with a modified inverse method was applied to study the circulation in September. Observations and the diagnostic simulation produce a consistent circulation pattern, and the main dynamical features can be summarized as follows. (1) The Kuroshio has two branches with the main Kuroshio existing above 800 m depth and the western part existing above 400 m depth. The western branch of the Kuroshio leaves the main current near 20.5°N, then flows northwestward through Luzon Strait and finally flows out of the northern boundary southwest of Taiwan, consistent with the trajectory of Argos drifters. (2) The non-linear term is important and cannot be neglected in the momentum equations in the northern part of Luzon Strait under the baroclinicity field. Using non-linear dynamics, the westward intrusion of the Kuroshio into the northern part of Luzon Strait is more curved than when using linear dynamics. However, the non-linear term is smaller and so negligible around Luzon Strait under the homogeneous density field. (3) In the area from 117°E to 119°E and from 20.2°N to 21.7°N, an anticyclonic eddy appears east of Dongsha Islands. (4) At depths above 400 m, the circulation is mainly dominated by the basin-scale cyclonic gyre. (5) In the computational domain west of 121°E, the circulation below 800 m is mainly dominated by the basin-scale anticyclonic gyre. (6) The South China Sea water flows eastward across Luzon Strait in the middle layers, then turns cyclonically, finally flowing northward into the region east of Taiwan Island, which is qualitatively in agreement with the trajectories of Argo floats at about 1000 m depth in the area east of 121°E.

RÉSUMÉ?[Traduit par la rédaction] Nous avons rassemblé l'hydrographie, le vent, les Argo et les mesures Argo dans les régions avoisinant le détroit de Luçon. Sur la base des données hydrographiques relevées durant le mois de septembre 1994, nous avons appliqué le modèle océanique amélioré de Princeton utilisant un système de coordonnées « suivant le terrain » généralisé de pair avec une méthode inverse modifiée pour étudier la circulation en septembre. Les observations et la simulation diagnostique produisent une configuration de circulation cohérente dont on peut résumer comme suit les principales caractéristiques dynamiques. (1) Le Kuroshio possède deux branches : le Kuroshio principal existant au-dessus d'une profondeur de 800 m et la partie ouest existant au-dessus d'une profondeur de 400 m. La branche ouest du Kuroshio quitte le courant principal aux environs de 20,5°N et se dirige vers le nord-ouest à travers le détroit de Luçon pour finalement franchir la limite nord du détroit au sud-ouest de Taïwan, ce qui correspond à la trajectoire des bouées dérivantes Argos. (2) Le terme non linéaire dans les équations est important et ne peut pas être considéré négligeable de quantité de mouvement dans la partie nord du détroit de Luçon dans le champ de baroclinité. Lorsqu'on utilise la dynamique non linéaire, l'intrusion vers l'ouest du Kuroshio dans la partie nord du détroit de Luçon est plus incurvée que lorsqu'on utilise la dynamique linéaire. Cependant, le terme non linéaire est plus petit et donc négligeable autour du détroit de Luçon dans le champ de densité homogène. (3) Dans la région allant de 117°E à 119°E et de 20,2°N à 21,7°N, un remous anticyclonique apparaît à l'est des îles Dongsha. (4) Aux profondeurs inférieures à 400 m, la circulation est principalement dominée par le gyre cyclonique à l’échelle du bassin. (5) Dans le domaine de calcul à l'ouest de 121°E, la circulation sous 800 m est principalement dominée par le gyre anticyclonique à l’échelle du bassin. (6) Les eaux de la mer de Chine méridionale s’écoulent vers l'est à travers le détroit de Luçon dans les couches intermédiaires, puis tournent de façon cyclonique pour finalement s’écouler vers le nord dans la région à l'est de l’île Taïwan, ce qui, qualitativement, s'accorde avec la trajectoire des flotteurs Argo à environ 1000 m de profondeur dans la région à l'est de 121°E.     

“Transgenic treadmill”: Responses to the emergence and spread of glyphosate-resistant johnsongrass in Argentina

The broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate has become the largest-selling crop-protection product worldwide. The increased use of glyphosate is associated with the appearance of a growing number of tolerant or resistant weeds, with socio-environmental consequences apart from the loss of productivity. In 2002, a glyphosate-resistant biotype of johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense (L.)) appeared in Argentina and now covers at least 10,000 ha. This paper analyzes the driving forces behind the emergence and spread of this weed and also examines management responses and their implications.Preventive strategies against glyphosate-resistant johnsongrass fail because of the institutional setting. Reactive measures, however, transfer the risks to the society and the environment through the introduction of novel genetically modified crops that allow the use of yet more herbicide. This in turn reinforces the emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds, constituting a new phenomenon of intensification, the “transgenic treadmill”.     

改进的贝叶斯迭代反演方法及其在白云岩致密储层识别的应用

由于低孔隙度和低渗透率的白云岩致密油储集层的纵波阻抗与其围岩差异非常小,利用叠后反演技术难以有效预测储层,而可以提取丰富弹性信息的叠前反演是解决此问题的有效手段,但是由于噪声等问题,叠前反演方程有较强的不适定性,笔者在贝叶斯框架下引入了改进的多变量柯西分布和改进的低频约束因子,重新推导了反演方程,获得了新的目标函数,有效地减少了反演的不适定性,从而提高了反演的稳定性,并结合迭代的思想来不断更新反演求解过程中的背景纵横波速度比值,从而增加了反演结果的精度。模型数据测试和实际资料应用都证明了该方法的稳定性和适用性。统计表明,利用提出的反演方法,目的层段内优质储层厚度预测吻合率高达89.75%。因此,此方法对类似硅质致密储层的勘探有重要的借鉴意义。     

The Kuroshio East of Taiwan and in the East China Sea and the currents East of Ryukyu Islands during early summer of 1996

Using hydrographic data and moored current meter records and the ADCP observed current data during May–June 1996, a modified inverse method is applied to calculate the Kuroshio east of Taiwan and in the East China Sea and the currents east of Ryukyu Islands. There are three branches of the Kuroshio east of Taiwan. The Kuroshio in the East China Sea comes from the main (first) and second branches of the Kuroshio east of Taiwan. The easternmost (third) branch of the Kuroshio flows northeastward to the region east of Ryukyu Islands. The net northward volume transports of the Kuroshio through Section K₂ southeast of Taiwan and Section PN in the East China Sea are 44.4×10⁶ and 27.2×10⁶ m³s⁻¹, respectively. The western boundary current east of Ryukyu Islands comes from the easternmost branch of the Kuroshio east of Taiwan and an anticyclonic recirculating gyre more east, making volume transports of 10 to 15×10⁶ m³s⁻¹. At about 21°N, 127°E southeast of Taiwan, there is a cold eddy which causes branching of the Kuroshio there.

GIS‐based modelling of soil erosion processes using the modified‐MMF (MMMF) model in a large watershed having vast agro‐climatological differences

The present study demonstrates a spatially distributed application of a field‐scale annual soil loss model, the modified‐MMF (MMMF), to a large watershed using hydrological routing techniques, remote sensing data and geospatial technologies. In this study, the MMMF model is implemented after incorporating the corrections suggested in recent literature along with appropriate modifications of the model to suit the agro‐climatological conditions prevailing in most parts of India. Sensitivity analysis carried out through an Average Linear Sensitivity approach indicates that the model outputs are highly sensitive to soil moisture (MS), bulk density (BD), effective hydraulic depth (EHD), ground cover (GC) and settling velocity for clay (VS_c). During calibration and validation, the performance evaluation statistics are mostly in the range of very good to satisfactory for both runoff and soil loss at the watershed outlet. Even spatial validation of the results of intermediate processes in the water phase and the sediment phase, although qualitative, seems to be reasonable and rational. Furthermore, the soil erosion severity analysis for different land‐uses existing in the watershed indicates that about 90% of the watershed area, especially that occupied by agricultural lands, is vulnerable to the long‐term effects of soil erosion.

盾构隧道下穿管道施工引起的管-土相互作用研究

采用Loganathan公式研究了盾构隧道下穿管道施工引起的地下管道处土体竖向位移,利用考虑土中剪力传递的Pasternak模型模拟管-土相互作用,运用修正Vlasov模型中的迭代流程计算出Pasternak模型的关键参数——弹性系数k与剪切系数gs。将计算结果与已有文献结果及工程监测数据进行对比,深入分析了迭代求解k、gs值的Pasternak模型与传统模型的计算差异,并进一步研究了土中剪力、管道与隧道的夹角、土体弹性模量及隧道半径的变化对管-土相互作用的影响。研究结果表明：迭代求解的k、gs值能提升Pasternak模型的精确度;土中剪力对管道竖向位移计算值的影响可达15.3%;随着管道与隧道夹角的减小,管道的竖向位移增大、弯矩减小;土体弹性模量与隧道半径的增大均会增加管道的竖向位移和弯矩。     

倾角函数展开及其在分析法轨道预报中的应用

田谐项摄动是分析法轨道预报中的重要部分,其中包含大量倾角函数及其偏导数的计算.由于具有精度更高、速度更快的优点,倾角函数一般通过递推方法计算.以文献中提出的改进Gooding方法为基础,将其给出的程序稍加改进,在计算2–50阶倾角函数时缩短了约24%的计算时间.考虑到分析法预报过程中轨道平倾角变化很小,以泰勒展开式计算倾角函数,可极大提高计算速度,较大程度地减小分析法预报耗时,且引力场阶次越高,减小幅度越大,取50阶时预报耗时缩短了48%.另一方面,以2阶展开式计算倾角函数时,与改进Gooding法相比,分析法预报星历偏差很小.对于500 km高度的低轨卫星,分别以改进Gooding法和2阶泰勒展开式计算倾角函数,预报3天,当地球引力场阶次不高于50时,二者预报星历偏差RMS (Root Mean Square)低于1 mm,且随着轨道高度的增加,预报星历偏差RMS逐渐减小.
