Projection of Future Precipitation Extremes Change (2001-2050) in the Yangtze River Basin

 Daily maximum rainfall (R1D) was higher in the Jialing River basin, the Taihu Lake area and the mid-lower main stream section of the Yangtze River basin in the 1990s, and there was a good relationship between ECHAM5/MPI-OM model simulation and the observed data about extreme precipitation (R1D). Under the IPCC SRES A2, A1B, and B1 scenarios, R1Ds are all projected to be in increasing trends in the upper Yangtze River basin during 2001-2050, and R1D shows a more significant increasing tendency under the A2 scenario when compared with the A1B scenario before 2020. With respect to the middle and lower Yangtze River basin, an increasing tendency is projected before 2025, and since then the increasing tendency will become insignificant. There might be more floods to the south of the Yangtze River and more droughts to the north in the next decades.

滑坡碎屑化运动物理模型相似材料特性研究

高速远程滑坡物理模型试验中,岩石相似材料的选择是模型试验成功的关键,然而目前滑坡相似材料强度高、难以在缩尺试验中模拟滑坡破碎过程。以重晶石、石英砂为骨料,石膏为胶结剂,羧甲基纤维素钠、甘油、水作为辅助材料,进行可破碎岩石相似材料的配比试验。采用控制变量法研究重晶石与石英砂比例（重石比）、骨料与胶结物比例（骨胶比）、羧甲基纤维素钠含量、拌合水量、甘油含量对相似材料物理力学性质的影响。试验结果表明：所有配比情况下各相似材料物理力学参数的范围分别为单轴抗压强度为0.12～1.47 MPa,弹性模量为25.51～148.12 MPa,黏聚力为1.63～87.39 kPa,内摩擦角为22.70°～35.89°,脆性指标主要分布在0.033～0.145之间;重石比主要控制岩石相似材料的内摩擦角;骨胶比减小,对应的黏聚力和内摩擦角先增大后减小;羧甲基纤维素钠对材料的单轴抗压强度、弹性模量、黏聚力等材料的力学特性以及材料的脆性指标影响均比较大,其中对单轴抗压强度的影响最大。因此,控制羧甲基纤维素钠和拌合水量的含量,并合理调节重石比与骨胶比,在相似比约为1∶600的试验尺度下,最终确定了适用于高速远程滑坡碎屑化过程模拟的低强度高脆性岩石相似材料的配比区间。

利用气候相似性原理,按照天气系统影响划分气候区,分析锡林郭勒盟冬季降水分布特征及其成因。冬季降水分布特点与其他季节有所不同,西南部和东部各有一大值区,其原因主要是受河套气旋(倒槽)和蒙古冷涡影响造成,山地小气候也起到重要作用。西部地区70年代降水最多,其他地区降水最多的时期是在90年代,2000年以来降水有所减少,异常偏多或偏少的年份多集中于某个时期,具有一定的周期性。     

青藏高原近地层低压系统移动路径及其特征

利用ECMWF 600 hPa高度场加密逐月再分析资料,分析了强、弱季风年高原近地层低压系统的移动路径及其特征。研究结果表明：低压系统于4月在青海省西南部形成,5月沿西南方向移入西藏地区,此后低压系统呈南北向波动西移,直至到达“西至点”后转向东退于10月衰减消散;强季风年低压系统中心强度总体上较弱季风年强。强季风年低压系统移动路径偏北,南北向波动振幅较小,弱季风年低压系统移动路径偏南,南北向波动振幅较大,呈“V”形分布;孕育初生阶段低压系统的形成过程在弱季风年出现“反复”现象;发展成熟阶段高原近地层低压系统南侧印度上空低压系统形成,并且强季风年较弱季风年形成时间偏迟,位置偏南;衰减消亡阶段高原近地层低压系统西北侧的高压系统减弱消散,10月东伸高压脊的脊点在弱季风年较强季风年偏东。     

流域水文年及丰枯水期划分方法

研究流域水文年及丰、枯水期划分方法,为水文水利计算提供科学依据。通过分析流域径流变化特点,提出径流累计距平法。将该方法用于黑河上游流域,结果表明:该方法为黑河上游流域确定了合理的水文年及丰、枯水期;在不同水文年起讫日下,黑河上游流域年径流时间序列的统计特性和典型年的径流年内分配特征发生显著变化。因此,径流累计距平法可用于划分流域水文年及丰、枯水期,统一水文年划分方式对水文水利计算十分必要。

The 1997–1998 Activity of Volcán de Colima,Western Mexico: Some Aspects of the Associated Seismic Activity

Volcán de Colima, the most active volcano in Mexico, had a climactic episode on 20 November, 1998. On this date, a dome formed on the small summit crater during the previous few days, collapsed generating block-and-ash flows. The event was preceded by almost twelve months of seismic activity, which continued afterwards for several more months. We analyzed the main seismic activity, which occurred from 20 March, 1998 to 31 March, 1999. The seismicity was dominated by volcano-tectonic earthquakes before the climax, and subsequently by hybrid and long-period earthquakes. We determined the frequency of events for the entire period, and located most of the volcano-tectonic events. To assess the possibility that these earthquakes were generated by the same source, they were tested for their similitude through cross correlation in the time domain. Six groups of similar events, or earthquake families, were generated. The members of these families appeared before the 20 November event, apparently ceasing afterwards. We examined the location of the families' events with respect to an existing gravity model in which an anomalous body of negative density contrast suggests the presence of the magma chamber. Most of the family events occur on top of the anomalous body, which suggests they were associated with the passage of magma through the feeding conduits of the volcano.

Analyse statistique des séquences sèches dans un bassin du nord de la Tunisie / Statistical analysis of dry events in a northern Tunisian basin

Abstract

A comparative statistical study of dry events during the rainy season is presented. In particular, we carried out statistical processing of the daily records of raingauges in the downstream basin of Lake Ichkeul, in the north of Tunisia. The climate is characterized by a rainy season lasting from the autumn until spring. The Poisson distribution was applied to describe the number of rainfall events, and negative binomial distribution was applied for the length of the dry events, in the rainy season. Since rainfall events are shorter, their duration follows a geometrical distribution, as theoretically required. For planning purposes, the longest seasonal dry spells associated with the various statistical recurrence periods are derived on the basis of the fitted GEV functions. A hydrological year starts at the beginning of the first rainfall event of a given season. The length of hydrological year is determined by the time interval between the start dates of two subsequent rainy seasons. The beginning of the hydrological year occurs on average toward mid-September, but the probability of it occurring before 15 September exceeds 40%. Spatial analysis of dry events is also done. A significant fraction of the dry events occurred for at least two stations simultaneously. Furthermore, 4.5% of the dry events have been observed at all three stations. The analysis of the dry events gives an alternative method to examine the dry spell phenomenon.
