卫星影像的云雾检测及干扰去除

云雾检测及去除是光学遥感图像处理的难题。厚云雾因具高反射特性，可通过阈值的设定将其检测并去除； 薄云因混有地物 光谱特性而较难检测，需先对影像做相对辐射校正处理，再将影像由RGB转换成HIS彩色模型，并假设薄云雾的加入等于白色颜料的加 入，即仅改变光谱的亮度或饱和度值，色相并无改变，藉此，可用多时段方式检测。实践证明，在HIS系统中可简化薄云雾的检测准 则，大大提高自动化检测云雾的可能性。

造山带下岩石圈地幔小尺度减薄的动力学成因

地质与地球物理观测数据表明青藏高原、安第斯山、以及帕米尔等典型造山高原之下均有明显的岩石圈地幔小尺度/分段式减薄现象.这些小尺度岩石圈减薄难以用经典的拆沉或对流减薄理论来解释,一方面,拆沉预示大尺度岩石圈地幔的剥离过程,而对流减薄则在黏度相对低的地幔岩石圈中发生,其主要以小尺度的局部增厚触发并仅减薄地幔岩石圈的底部区域.另一方面,拆沉或对流减薄模型都预测造山带尺度的地幔岩石圈拆离,都假设造山带岩石圈横向均一,然而实际的造山带岩石圈往往由多个不同的地块构成,块体之间岩性、物性、流变结构可能大有差别,即横向不均一性.这些造山带岩石圈地幔的横向不均一性,能否有效解释观测到的局部小尺度减薄现象？为此,我们构建了一系列高精度动力学数值模型,系统模拟了碰撞造山过程中岩石圈地幔的形变和不稳定性.结果表明,在塑性屈服强度很低的情况下,横向不均一的造山带岩石圈有发生分段式/小尺度减薄的可能性;其主要机理是由位错蠕变与强塑性作用所导致的应变集中使得地块间及壳幔间耦合弱化,从而使得较弱地块的岩石圈地幔在增厚时由于重力不稳定性而产生局部剥离,进而诱发小尺度软流圈上涌.模拟结果可以良好地解释发生在青藏高原东北缘、安第斯中部高原、以及帕米尔高原之下岩石圈的局部小尺度/分段式减薄现象.     

On the scavenging of organic gases by cloud and raindrops: I. A theoretical and experimental study of acetaldehyde absorption and desorption for water drops in air

Our previously developed theoretical models for describing the rate at which water-soluble atmospheric trace gases are scavenged by cloud and rindrops were evaluated for the case of acetaldehyde being absorbed and desorbed by water drops of radii between 250 to 2500 m radius. The experimental verification of our theoretical predictions was carried out in the UCLA 33 m high precipitation shaft in which falling water drops were allowed to come to terminal velocity before passing through a chamber of variable lengths filled with air containing acetaldehyde at various partial pressures. For all drop sizes studied, the experimental results and the theoretical predictions were in reasonable agreement.     

Origin of a trend in ECMWF wind analysis and its objective removal

The suitability of the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) operational wind analysis for the period 1980–1991 for studying interannual variability is examined. The changes in the model and the analysis procedure are shown to give rise to a systematic and significant trend in the large scale circulation features. A new method of removing the systematic errors at all levels is presented using multivariate EOF analysis. Objectively detrended analysis of the three-dimensional wind field agrees well with independent Florida State University (FSU) wind analysis at the surface. It is shown that the interannual variations in the detrended surface analysis agree well in amplitude as well as spatial patterns with those of the FSU analysis. Therefore, the detrended analyses at other levels as well are expected to be useful for studies of variability and predictability at interannual time scales. It is demonstrated that this trend in the wind field is due to the shift in the climatologies from the period 1980–1985 to the period 1986–1991.     

Isotopic biogeochemistry of dissolved organic nitrogen: A new technique and application

We present a new technique for isolating and isotopically characterizing dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) for non-marine waters, δ¹⁵N values for DON from lacustrine samples and data suggesting that this technique will be applicable to marine samples. Our technique involves preconcentration of DON via rotary evaporation and removal of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) via dialysis using a membrane that retains material above 100 Da. Results demonstrate quantitative removal of DIN, complete recovery of DON (95% or greater) and retention of isotopic integrity (isotope effect less than 0.4‰) for a solution containing a DON standard (tripeptide) and DIN in deionized water. Reproducibility of carbon and nitrogen isotope values and elemental concentrations is demonstrated for DOM from Chefswet Basin, Lake Superior and Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan. The applicability of this technique to marine samples is suggested by demonstrating 99% removal of DIN from a sample of Gulf Stream water amended with ammonium and nitrate.     

Governing-by-aspiration? Assessing the nature and implications of including negative emission technologies (NETs) in country long-term climate strategies

In order to address the pressing challenge of climate change, countries are now submitting long-term climate strategies to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process. These strategies include within them potential future use of ‘negative emissions technologies’ (NETs). NETs are interventions that remove carbon from the atmosphere, ranging from large-scale terrestrial carbon sequestration in forests, wetlands and soils, to use of carbon capture and storage technologies. We assess here how NETs are discussed in 29 long-term climate strategies, in order to ascertain the risk that including the promise of future NETs may delay the taking of short-term mitigation actions. Our analysis shows that almost all countries plan to rely on NETs, particularly enhanced use of natural carbon sinks, even as a wide array of challenges and trade-offs in doing so are highlighted. Many strategies call for improved accounting systems and market incentives in realizing future NETs. While no strategy explicitly suggests that NETs can be a substitute for short-term mitigation, most estimate substantial potential for future use of NETs even in the face of acknowledged uncertainties. This, we suggest, may have the consequence of resulting in what we describe here as ‘a spiral of delay’ characterized by the promise of future NET options juxtaposed with the simultaneous uncertainty around these future options. Our analysis highlights that this inter-connected delaying dynamic may be intrinsic to what we term ‘governing-by-aspiration’ within global climate politics, wherein the voicing of lofty future ambition risks replacing current action and accountability.     

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of lamprophyric dykes and the associated rocks from Eslamy peninsula, NW Iran: Implications for deep-mantle metasomatism

Eslamy peninsula in NW of Iran is formed by a strato-volcano with collapsed calderon, which is intruded by lamprophyric dykes with minette composition. Also trachytic and microsyenitic dykes have intruded the volcanic rocks. The oldest volcanic activity includes eruption of leucite basanite, leucite tephrite, basanite and tephrite, which are associated with pyroclastic rocks. Lamprophyric dykes are distinguishable with large mica phenocrysts. Mica-clinopyroxenite xenoliths can be found in the rocks. The source magma of the rocks had a ultrapotassic to shoshonitic nature, rich in LREE and LILE. Eslamy peninsula lamprophyres are between alkaline and calc-alkaline lamprophyres in terms of REE patterns and spider diagrams for trace elements, but are closer to clac-alkaline lamprophyres. The behaviour of trace elements studied by the means of spider diagrams show that the magma, producing the lamprophyres, is generated from deep-mantle probably from a garnet-bearing source (garnet lherzolite) with high CO₂/H₂O content. The resulted magma had interacted with crustal materials and had formed Eslamy peninsula lamprophyres in a post-collisional tectonic setting. Geochemistry of rare elements indicate an extensive rutile-rich metasomatism in the source magma of the lamprophyres.     

反硝化菌的耐砷驯化及其对水铁矿吸附态砷迁移转化的影响

采集缺氧活性污泥进行室内微生物驯化,培养耐砷反硝化菌。把耐砷反硝化菌、营养液和吸附As(V)的水铁矿在厌氧条件下培养,研究反硝化菌代谢作用下,系统中Fe、Mn、NO3-和As形态的动态变化。结果表明,缺氧活性污泥中的反硝化菌具有一定的耐砷能力。在砷含量500μg/L以内,其反硝化强度基本不受砷的影响。在吸附有砷的水铁矿体系中,反硝化菌所产生的反硝化作用可导致溶液中NO3-含量的降低、Fe含量的升高、As含量降低,且As(III)所占比例增加。这说明,体系中水铁矿的还原性溶解和As(V)的还原性解吸已经发生。As含量降低的原因是,在培养体系中水铁矿的含量高,Fe的释放量只占很小比例,表层水铁矿被还原后,在次表层形成新的水铁矿吸附位,这种新吸附位不仅可以吸附溶液中已经存在的As,而且能够再吸附由于还原性溶解和解吸所释放出的As。
