Prolonged Dry Episodes over North America: New Tendencies Emerging During the Last 40 Years

A disproportionate increase in precipitation coming from intense rain events, in the situation of general warming (thus, an extension of the vegetation period with intensive transpiration) and an insignificant change in total precipitation could lead to an increase in the frequency of potentially serious type of extreme events: prolonged periods without precipitation (even when the mean seasonal rainfall totals increase). This paper investigates whether this development is already occurring during the past several decades over North America south of 55°N, for the same period when changes in frequency of intense precipitation events are being observed. Lengthy strings of “dry” days without sizeable (>1.0 mm) precipitation were assessed only during the warm season (defined as a period when mean daily temperature is above the 5℃ threshold) when water is intensively used for transpiration and prolonged periods without sizable rainfall represent a hazard for terrestrial ecosystem's health and agriculture. During the past four decades, the mean duration of prolonged dry episodes (20 days or longer in southeastern Canada, 1 month or longer in the Eastern United States and along the Gulf Coast of Mexico and 2 months or longer in the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico) has significantly increased. As a consequence, the return period of 1 month long dry episodes over the Eastern U.S. has been reduced more than twofold from 15 to 6~7 years. The longer average duration of dry episodes has occurred during a relatively wet period around most of the continent south of 55°N but is not observed over the Northwestern U.S. and adjacent regions of Southern Canada.      

粒状碎屑溜砂坡运动方程与砂坡土r压力计算（溜砂坡系列研究之三）

在溜砂坡系列研究之二的基础上,对风干砂的运动特征进行了细致观察。将干砂流视为连续介质的流动,对干砂流的运动动力和阻力进行了深入研究,建立了干砂流垂线流速分布方程和干砂流体底面、表面滑动速度方程。结合挡砂工程,将干砂流体视为沿底面（此种砂坡的天然休止角）滑动的三角体,从而导出粒状碎屑溜砂坡水平土压力（或水平推力）计算模型。     

影响黄土湿陷系数因素的分析

在工程地质勘察及土工试验资料的基础上，分析影响黄土湿陷性的主要因素，应用数理统计方法．系统研究了不同深度黄土湿陷系数随天然含水量和干密度的变化规律：黄土的湿陷系数δs随深度的增加而减小；天然含水量ω和干密度γd与黄土的湿陷系数δs均呈直线负相关关系。通过回归分析建立了黄土湿陷系数与其主要影响因素间的线性回归方程：δs=-0．00038ω-0．1022γd＋0-1839。     

用储层岩石抽提物的饱和烃色谱指纹识别油气层

利用储层岩石抽提物的饱和烃色 质总离子图的指纹特征判识储层的流体（油、气）类型。油层或油饱和的储层,饱和烃色 质总离子流图的特征是正构烷烃碳数分布宽,碳数分布在C₁₅～C₃₈之间,与原油样品的正构烷烃碳数分布相似;凝析气层的正构烷烃碳数分布略窄一些,碳数分布在C₁₅～C₃₅之间,低碳数（小于C₂₁）的正构烷烃相对于油层富集,高碳数（大于C₂₁）的正构烷烃丰度明显低于油层;干气层的正构烷烃碳数分布最窄,碳数分布在C₁₅～ C₂₈之间,只有低碳数的正构烷烃,高碳数的正构烷烃丰度极低。据此可用来识别油层、凝析气层和干气层,也可用于一些测井资料不全或测井质量差的老井的油气层复查、测井难以识别的火成岩油气层的识别,还可用于地层评价,为油气酸化层位的优选提供科学依据。
