2007/2008年冬季平流层环流异常及平流层—对流层耦合特征

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了2007/2008年冬季平流层环流振荡的过程和异常特征,以及平流层—对流层的环流耦合特征。结果发现：2007/2008年冬季平流层极涡持续偏强,且极涡从12月下旬开始向东亚—大西洋地区偏心发展,同时在欧洲—地中海地区减弱向极区收缩,从而在欧亚地区的平流层高层最早形成“一脊一槽”1波型的环流形势;该平流层的环流异常信号逐步向低层传播;从平流层10 hPa向下传播到对流层中、低层需要约15~20天的时间;此时对流层500 hPa上,与平流层向下传播的信号相对应,呈现为高纬度“西高东低”和副热带“东高西低”的环流异常型,即分别对应着乌拉尔山阻塞高压、鄂霍茨克海低槽以及副热带高压异常偏强和副热带欧亚大陆中西部低槽活动频繁。这种环流异常配置即形成了有利于我国南方降雪持续的大尺度背景条件。进一步研究还发现,平流层异常信号存在由热带向极传播的趋势。2008年1月的平流层极涡振荡正异常所对应的环流异常信号可以追溯到2007年秋季10月份最早出现在热带地区的环流异常信号,该异常信号在向极传播过程中同时向东移动,2008年1月传播到极区,对应极涡振荡的正异常。说明前期平流层的异常信号及其演变,对2008年1月的气候异常具有重要指示意义。

根据GEO卫星的特点,给出了电离层扰动序列的提取方法以及扰动振幅、周期的获取方法,并根据实测的2012-04-16～２０１２－０４－１８的观测数据,对探测到的电离层扰动进行了初步分析。实验结果显示,1号GEO卫星在2014-04-17T12:30左右探测到扰动,5号GEO卫星和4号GEO卫星分别在2012-04-17T18:50～２０１２－０４－１７Ｔ２０:45和2012-14-18T06:00～２０１２－０４－１８Ｔ０７:23探测到扰动,探测的电离层扰动发生时间及扰动的振幅、周期等传播特性与前人研究基本一致,而且提取的扰动序列不包含多谱勒效应的影响。     

Glossary of Analytical and Metrological Terms from the International Vocabulary of Metrology (2008)

The Joint Committee for Guides in Metrology (JCGM) has introduced a revised third edition of the International Vocabulary of Metrology – basic and general concepts and associated terms ( VIM: 2008 ) that replaces the second edition which was published in 1993. This article includes a table containing the terms and definitions that are most relevant to geoanalysis, designed to extend awareness and to promote best practice in the use of this terminology. Comparison is made, where appropriate, with definitions from the earlier 1993 definitions, to demonstrate the way in which thinking in metrological concepts has evolved over this time period.     

2008年汶川MS8.0地震电离层图像信息长时程演化初探

应用改进的图像信息方法, 结合DEMETER电磁卫星的电子温度数据, 对2008年汶川M_S8.0地震进行了长时程的回溯性预测研究。 与以往的地震电离层演化图像提取异常的研究相比, 将其回溯的时程延长至震前近11个月, 并向震后延长48 d。 在长期连续的异常扰动演化图中, 出现了两个明显的异常时段, 且在震前2个月短期内异常扰动明显减弱并趋于背景值。 两个时段出现的异常扰动分布位置及其形态以及持续时间皆不重复, 这体现了前兆异常的不易确定, 难以定性及定量识别的特点。 电离层异常扰动特征的长时程研究, 有评估其预测参数和模型可靠性的实际作用, 也为应用中国卫星观测数据服务于地震预报等研究积累经验, 具有借鉴意义。

本文认真思考了汶川地震对防震减灾各环节的影响,主要观点有:(1)地震预报很难,但不能不搞。(2)搞好建筑物的抗震设防、避让活断层与山地灾害隐患,或适当治理山地灾害隐患是震前防御减灾的有效途径。(3)汶川地震的紧急救援绩效卓著,但还有提升潜力。     

Stormflow threshold behaviour in a subtropical mountainous headwater catchment during forest recovery period

Forest ecohydrological feedbacks complicate the threshold behaviour of stormflow response to precipitation or wetting conditions on a long-term scale (e.g. several years). In this study, the threshold behaviours in an evergreen-deciduous mixed forested headwater catchment in southern China were examined during 2009–2015, when damaged vegetation was recovering after the great 2008 Chinese ice and snowstorm. The non-uniqueness of the thresholds and the slow and rapid responses of stormflow at the outlet of the catchment in different hydro-climate datasets with different maximum values of gross precipitation (P) and sums of precipitation and antecedent soil moisture index (P + ASI) were assessed. The thresholds of P and P + ASI required to trigger stormflows (i.e. ‘generation thresholds’) and the transition from slow to rapid responses of stormflow (i.e. ‘rise thresholds’) were compared both seasonally and annually. The results indicated significant differences in the analysed datasets, highlighting the need to compare thresholds with care to avoid misinterpretation. Seasonal variations in threshold behaviours in the catchment suggested that vegetation canopy interception contributed to higher rise thresholds, and wetter conditions resulted in higher runoff sensitivity to precipitation during the growing and rainy seasons. Furthermore, the generation thresholds were higher in the dormant season, possibly due to drier soil moisture conditions in the near-channel areas. During the vegetation recovery period, the annual generation thresholds increased, however the rise thresholds did not exhibit a similar trend. The rapid stormflow response above the threshold decreased, possibly due to transpiration and interception of the recovered vegetation. However, the slow stormflow response to small rainfall events below the thresholds was higher in wetter years but lower in drier years, suggesting that the total water input dominated the stormflow response during small rainfall events. In conclusion, the seasonal and annual variations in threshold behaviours highlight that vegetation recovery and hydro-climatic conditions had a notable impact on the stormflow response.

汶川8．0级特大地震汉源县震害特点与烈度异常成因探讨

本文在汉源县地震灾害调查的基础上,通过收集前人在该区已取得的成果资料,采用综合分析、类比等方法,对汉源县地震烈度异常区震害及造成异常的原因进行了分析探讨。汉源县建筑物破坏形式以水平地震作用造成的“X”型剪切破坏为主,竖向地震造成的破坏较少。地震波传播路径、场地土层条件和地形地貌条件三者的耦合是造成汉源县烈度异常的主要原因,其中场地土层中占优势厚度的砾石层是造成场地地震波放大的主要内因。本文取得的初步结论为更加深入地科学研究本区地震烈度异常的原因提供了新思路。     

汶川大地震“震前扰动”存在“第三类脉动”吗？

采用国家地震台网数十台地震仪的观测资料研究了汶川大地震和昆仑山大地震的“震前扰动”现象,结果表明,“震前扰动”现象与强台风的影响密切相关,适用于英国海洋学家Higgins的海浪非线性干涉理论中的“第二类脉动”.然而,通过对信号时频特征的细致分析后发现：“震前扰动”信号存在着明显的“时频偏移”现象,不完全符合“第二类脉动”的特征.因此本文认为,汶川大地震的“震前扰动”除了包含“第二类脉动”信号外,还可能存在着“第三类脉动”,这对强震短临前兆的研究有重要意义.
