Noise reduction and detection of weak, coherent signals through phase-weighted stacks

We present a new tool for efficient incoherent noise reduction for array data employing complex trace analysis. An amplitude-unbiased coherency measure is designed based on the instantaneous phase, which is used to weight the samples of an ordinary, linear stack. The result is called the phase-weighted stack (PWS) and is cleaned from incoherent noise. PWS thus permits detection of weak but coherent arrivals. The method presented can easily be extended to phase-weighted cross-correlations or be applied in the τ p domain. We illustrate and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PWS in comparison with other coherency measures and present examples. We further show that our non-linear stacking technique enables us to detect a weak lower-mantle P -to- S conversion from a depth of approximately 840 km on array data. Hints of an 840 km discontinuity have been reported; however, such a discontinuity is not yet established due to the lack of further evidence.     

Seismic anisotropy within the uppermost mantle of southern Germany

This paper presents an updated interpretation of seismic anisotropy within the uppermost mantle of southern Germany. The dense network of reversed and crossing refraction profiles in this area made it possible to observe almost 900 traveltimes of the P_n phase that could be effectively used in a time-term analysis to determine horizontal velocity distribution immediately below the Moho. For 12 crossing profiles, amplitude ratios of the P_n phase compared to the dominant crustal phase were utilized to resolve azimuthally dependent velocity gradients with depth. A P -wave anisotropy of 3–4 per cent in a horizontal plane immediately below the Moho at a depth of 30 km, increasing to 11 per cent at a depth of 40 km, was determined. For the axis of the highest velocity of about 8.03 km s⁻¹ at a depth of 30 km a direction of N31°F was obtained. The azimuthal dependence of the observed P_n amplitude is explained by an azimuth-dependent sub-Moho velocity gradient decreasing from 0.06 s⁻¹ in the fast direction to 0 s⁻¹ in the slow direction of horizontal P -wave velocity. From the seismic results in this study a petrological model suggesting a change of modal composition and percentage of oriented olivine with depth was derived.     

地幔流体的前缘研究

地幔流体是与地幔环境处于平衡的气体和挥发分。其主要化学组分为碳、氢、氧、氮、硫（ＣＨＯＮＳ）。它以富于地球内部原始组分为特征，但也包含部分再循环组分。地幔挥发分在弱还原条件下主要为ＣＯ２－Ｈ２Ｏ，强还原环境则以ＣＨ４－Ｈ２Ｏ－Ｈ２为主。地幔流体地球化学的重要性质为：（１）易溶于硅酸盐熔体；（２）净化作用；（３）再沉淀作用。近年来，有关地幔流体中稀有气体和挥发分的起源、分布及同位素组成等前缘领域的研究已取得重要进展。当前拟优先探索的问题包括气体裂化与金刚石成因，非生物成因地幔烃，地幔流体与成矿作用，以及地幔挥发分注入与地壳重熔等。     

山东中生代橄榄安粗岩系火山岩的地质、地球化学特征及岩石成因

山东中生代橄榄安粗岩系火山岩主要分布在沂沭断裂带及其两侧的断陷型陆相火山盆地中，为早白垩世火山活动的产物．Ｒｂ－Ｓｒ全岩等时年龄变化于１１１．４～１１９．６Ｍａ．岩石组合主要为粗面玄武岩－橄榄安粗岩－安粗岩－粗面岩．这套岩石在化学上具有富碱富钾、富铝贫钛、高氧化系数及富轻稀土和大离子亲石元素的特点，并具有较高的ＩＳｒ值和明显偏低εＮｄ值．根据对岩石地质、地球化学特征和产出构造环境的详细分析，表明这套岩石的成因应主要是富集型地幔的部分熔融     

地壳流体与地幔流体间的关系

通过铀、金矿床及地幔岩捕虏体研究，初步得出以下认识：（１）在热液作用中岩浆分异热液是不存在的；（２）碱交代作用是整个地幔交代作用和地壳交代作用的基本运作机制，现已构成有几十条具体规律的理论系统；碱交代岩是地幔流体转变为热液的化石记录；（３）拆离断层构造体系是地幔流体上升到地壳后的活动通道；（４）磷（Ｐ）是地幔流体的特征性示踪成分；（５）大洋缺氧事件、生物种属灭绝、厄尔尼诺等有共同的地幔流体致因；（６）天然气－油－盐－金属成矿是统一的热液成矿作用。软流体是今后区域成矿预测的重要新依据。软流体的顶部发育有次级、再次级的局部上凸部，这是矿带、矿田群的重要成矿控制因素和找矿新标志。     

The Texture,Mineral Assemblages and Origin of Metamorphic Peridotite from Kuda Ophiolite,Xinjiang

There are two grades of network-type texture in metamorphic peridotite from the Kuda ophiolite,Xinjiang,China,The first graduation consists of coarse-grained olivine with plastic deformation fabrics,orthopyroxene and minor clinopyroxene and Cr-spinel.The second graduation consists of small minerals filling among the mineral grains of the first graduation.Four kinds of assemblages containing tremolite have been discovered in the second graduation,which were formed during mantle partial melting and mantle metasomatism of a highly depleted peridotite.
