Stratification and convection over Arabian Sea during monsoon 1979 from satellite data

From the temperature and moisture retrievals from satellites, two types of indices were derived: one indicating suppression of convection and the other indicating organized deep convection. Sea surface skin temperature and equivalent potential temperatures up to 500 mbar level of the atmosphere, derived from TIROS-N satellite products, are the basis of the two indices. The maps of these indices for various phases of 1979 monsoon are compared with percentage cloudiness, a product also available from TIROS-N satellite observations. Despite the various limitations of satellite soundings, it is shown that these satellite-derived indices can be used to indicate the strengths of atmospheric convection and inversion over the oceans.

Rare Earth Element Behaviour in theWunugetushan Copper - Molybdenum Deposit,Inner Mongolia, and Its Implications

Considering porphyry and wall rocks as a whole system, the behaviour of rare earth elements (REE) in hydrothermal alteration and mineralization of the exceedingly large Wunugetushan porphyry Cu-Mo deposit of Inner Mongolia has been studied. It has been found for the first time that there exists complementary REE variation in hydrothermal alteration between porphyry and wall rocks, and Eu depletion has certain significance in indicating mineralization. Based on an analysis of the variation in REE contents of relevant minerals during the hydrothermal alteration, the ore-forming fluids are inferred to be depleted in ∑REE, comparatively enriched in ∑Y and strongly depleted in Eu. In the intermediate-strong alteration zones, porphyry and wall rock took part in hydrothermal metasomatism and alteration almost in equal ratio mass. Furthermore, studies of REE and hydrogen and oxygen isotopes and fluid inclusions confirm the existence of hydrothermal convection and the possibility of supplying part of ore mater     

气动雾化进样-微波等离子体炬质谱法快速测定水样中的钙离子

环境水样中金属元素的分析通常采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS),检出限低、线性范围宽,但仍存在使用功率高、耗气量大、分析成本高以及不适用于现场分析等不足。本文为降低金属元素分析成本,建立了微波等离子体炬(MPT)与有机质谱耦合的方式检测水样中钙离子的新方法。详细探究了载气流速和维持气流速对钙离子响应信号的影响,方法检出限为224.56 ng/L,相对标准偏差(RSD)为1.2%~9.8%,加标回收率在86.3%~110.4%之间。本方法无需样品预处理,分析速度快、灵敏度和精确度高,为环境水样中金属离子的测定提供了新途径,有望应用于金属离子的实时在线分析。     

四川盆地西南缘二叠系页岩铜银矿床地质地球化学特征和流体对流成矿机制

四川盆地西南缘乐山—沐川地区的页岩铜银矿床产于上二叠统宣威组上部。地质和常量元素、稀土元素、热释光等地球化学证据表明, 页岩铜银矿床形成于成岩期,成矿流体和成矿物质主要来源于下伏的峨嵋山玄武岩。流体动力学分析表明成矿流体是以单环对流方式进行迁移,流体在玄武岩中迁移并淋滤Ｃｕ 、Ａｇ 金属形成含矿流体,沿西侧基底隆起上升,然后沿宣威组向盆地中心横向迁移,在盆地中部下渗返回玄武岩中形成一个长约１５ ｋｍ 、高约３００ ｍ 的近水平的对流环。进一步的分析与计算表明,该区具有良好的形成中型铜、大型银页岩矿床的地质、构造和流体动力学条件,但难以形成超大型的页岩铜银矿床。     

Ubiquitous interactive visualization of 3D mantle convection using a web-portal with Java and Ajax framework

We have developed a new strategy and espouse a novel paradigm for large-scale computing and real-time interactive visualization. This philosophy calls for intense interactive sessions for a couple of hours at a time at the expense of storing data on many disk drives during regular or heroic runs on massively parallel systems. We have already carried out successfully real-time volume-rendering visualization by employing hundreds of processors for a grid with over 25 million unknowns. Both Cartesian and spherical 3D mantle convection are visualized. The volume-rendered images are viewed on a large display device, with many panels holding around 13 million pixels. We will employ a software strategy involving an hierarchical rendering service, which will have as software an Ajax interface for interactive visualization of large data sets on many different platforms from desktop PC’s to hand-held devices, such as the OQO and the Nokia N-800. An option for stereo viewing is also implemented. We have installed a user interface as web application, using Java and Ajax framework in order to achieve over the Internet reasonable accessibility to our ongoing runs. Our goal is to expand the array of interactive devices, which will make it feasible to carry out ubiquitous visualization and monitoring of large-scale simulations or onsite events and to allow for collaborations across oceans.     

花岗岩浆形成定位机制的思考与研究进展

花岗岩(广义)是陆壳的标志,也是地球岩石圈区别于其它行星岩石圈的标志。文章介绍了行星探测和大洋调查等方面的成果对花岗岩形成的地质约束:行星从岩浆表壳向岩石表壳转换过程以及现代地幔过程,均没有产生有规模意义的花岗岩;花岗岩及其所标志的陆壳,应是星球出现水圈和沉积岩之后的产物;花岗岩在地球岩石圈二维空间上的平均生长速率,大约为485×10~3km~2/Myr;岩浆主要来自地壳岩石的部分熔融(深熔)。在此基础上,文章介绍了深熔作用方面的研究进展,讨论了部分熔融岩石的流变行为与其内熔体比的关系,并比较了岩浆侵入模型与岩浆对流模型在解释花岗岩形成定位机制方面的异同。侵入模型的困难之一来自岩体与源区分离。由于源区位于岩体下方且远离岩体,因而是不可观察的,除非岩体及其与源区之间的岩石因风化或构造被剥蚀殆尽。文章最后介绍了"深熔-对流"模型的研究进展。该模型认为"源区"与"定位区间"是统一的,当"源区"岩石的熔体比例超过流变学的临界熔体比,岩石转变为"脏"岩浆;"脏"岩浆层内的重力分异诱发热对流,后者引起"顶蚀作用",导致重熔界面(MI)或固-液转换界面(SLT)不断向上移动和岩浆层的逐渐增厚。基本认识是:熔区内的热对流是深熔作用能够形成大规模花岗岩浆的必要条件;没有对流,陆壳岩石的部分熔融只能产生混合岩,不能产生岩基规模的花岗岩。     

Supercontinent formation from stochastic collision and mantle convection models

The large-scale tectonics in the last billion years (Ga) are predominated by the assembly and breakup of supercontinents Rodinia and Pangea. The mechanisms controlling the assembly of supercontinents are not clear. Here, we investigate the assembly of a supercontinent with 1) stochastic models of randomly-moving continental blocks and 2) 3-D spherical models of mantle convection with continental blocks. For the stochastic models, we determined the time required for all the blocks to assemble into a single supercontinent on a spherical surface. We found that the assembly time from our stochastic models is significantly longer than inferred for Pangea and Rodinia. However, our study also suggests that the assembly time from stochastic models is sensitive to the rules for randomly assigning continental motion in the models. In our dynamic models of mantle convection, continental blocks are modeled as deformable and compositionally distinct materials from the mantle. We found that mantle convective planform has significant effects on supercontinent assembly. For models with moderately strong lithosphere and the lower mantle relative to the upper mantle that lead to degree-1 mantle convection, continental blocks always assemble to a supercontinent in  250 million years (Ma) and this assembly time is consistent with inferred for Pangea and Rodinia. However, for models with intrinsically small-scale mantle flows, we found that even when continental blocks merge to form a supercontinent, the assembly times are too long and the convective structures outside of supercontinent regions are of too small wavelengths, compared with observed.     

白垩纪中期地球磁场与全球地质现象(英文)

白垩纪超静磁带(CNS)是指白垩纪中期约40 Ma内(Aptian Santonian, 121~83 Ma)地球磁场没有出现倒转的异常现象。这一现象引起地球学界的极大关注,原因在于它与白垩纪中期(124~90 Ma)其他一系列事件在时间上非常吻合,包括洋底扩张速率的快速增加和洋底高原、海山链、大型火成岩省等生产速率的快速增加。过去20多年许多研究强调所有这些现象与下地幔对流的联系。近期研究的一个重要的进展在于把地球磁场的变化(反转频率和古强度)与许多重要的地质和地球物理过程结合起来,如周期性地幔对流、地幔柱活动、全球热流、真极移、大型火成岩省的产生和生物群集绝灭。文中回顾了白垩纪地球磁场研究以及与白垩纪中期所发生的全球性的地质事件之间的可能存在的关联,并讨论在这一重要研究领域内未来研究的发展方向。
