新疆库鲁克塔格南华纪成矿体系特征

新疆库鲁克塔格地区南华系地层层序十分发育,该区南华系有3次冰川活动的沉积记录; 该区与Rodinia 超大陆裂解有关的构造岩浆事件发生时限为830～630 Ma; 区域内分布的且干布拉克蛭石矿和兴地Ⅱ号铜镍矿床与南华纪的Rodinia超大陆裂解有关; 库鲁克塔格地块在南华纪可能是华南板块的边缘块体,它与华南板块上大范围分布的同期火成岩为Rodinia超大陆裂解时地慢柱活动的产物。     

中国中世纪暖期温度年代际变化特征及成因分析

利用通用地球系统模式CESM的过去2000年气候模拟试验资料,在与历史气候重建资料、观测/再分析资料及其他模式模拟资料进行对比验证的基础上,分析了中国中世纪暖期（Medieval Warm Period,简称MWP）地表温度年代际变化特征并初步探讨了其成因。结果表明：在公元801~1250年的中国中世纪暖期期间,在年代际尺度上,中国地表温度EOF第一模态的空间分布为全区一致型,并且北部的变率大于南部,最大的变率中心位于中国东北部;EOF第二模态反映出研究区内南北反向的空间分布特征。40°N以北地区温度变化一致;40°N以南青藏高原-云贵高原-东南沿海地区与华北地区呈反相变化,最大的变率中心位于青藏高原东部。中世纪暖期地表温度EOF第一模态主要归因于太阳辐射的影响,火山活动也是影响因子之一;EOF第二模态主要受气候系统内部变率的影响,其他外强迫因子的影响较小。但是,温室气体、土地利用/覆盖两个外强迫因子对气候系统内部变率具有一定的调制作用。在中国,中世纪暖期太阳活动剧烈、火山活动较少,下垫面吸收更多的太阳短波辐射,地表净辐射通量增大,是中世纪暖期形成的主要原因。     

The warm pool in the Indian Ocean

The structure of the warm pool (region with temperature greater than 28°C) in the equatorial Indian Ocean is examined and compared with its counterpart in the Pacific Ocean using the climatology of Levitus. Though the Pacific warm pool is larger and warmer, a peculiarity of the pool in the Indian Ocean is its seasonal variation. The surface area of the pool changes from 24 × 10⁶ km² in April to 8 × 10⁶ km² in September due to interaction with the southwest monsoon. The annual cycles of sea surface temperature at locations covered by the pool during at least a part of the year show the following modes: (i) a cycle with no significant variation (observed in the western equatorial Pacific and central and eastern equatorial Indian Ocean), (ii) a single maximum/minimum (northern and southern part of the Pacific warm pool and the south Indian Ocean), (iii) two maxima/minima (Arabian Sea, western equatorial Indian Ocean and southern Bay of Bengal), and (iv) a rapid rise, a steady phase and a rapid fall (northern Bay of Bengal).     

渤、黄海北部海冰年代时空变化特征分析

本文取上世纪后50年至2003年度冬季渤海地区气温作为与渤海冬季冰情有关的气候指标。分析得出,渤海地区冬季气温随着年代呈上升趋势,特别是80年代中期至本世纪初尤为明显。受其影响,渤海冬季的冰情时空分布状况发生了较大变化。其特点是:初冰日较多年平均值推后、终冰日较多年平均值提前,冰期较多年平均值偏短,冰厚较多年平均值偏薄,结冰范围(沿岸固定冰宽度和浮冰外缘线)较多年平均值偏小,甚至有些海区已多年未曾见到海冰了。     

2010年2月辽宁地区冻雨天气诊断分析

应用常规天气资料,从天气、气候及大气物理量场等方面,对2010年2月下旬发生在辽宁地区历史罕见的冰冻雨雪灾害性天气发生发展的成因、主要特征以及造成严重灾害的主要原因进行诊断分析。结果表明：500 hPa低涡分裂的小槽东移是冻雨天气的环流背景;700 hPa源源不断的水汽输送和低层辐合作用是降水产生的基本条件。地面强冷空气是冻雨天气的触发机制;高层为冷的冰晶层,对流层中低层有温度t>0℃的暖的融化层,近地面1-2 km为气温t<0℃的冷层,同时地面达到 0℃以下,这种复杂的逆温层是冻雨产生的天气条件。高层暖平流是维持中空暖层结构的重要条件之一,对暖层的建立和破坏起较大作用,暖层消失冻雨天气也随之结束。中低空水汽饱和度、地面温度和中低空上升、下沉运动与冻雨的强度有密切关系。     

中世纪温暖期气候变化的花粉化石记录

麦里泥炭剖面高分辨率花粉化石记录表明,东北科尔沁沙地在相当于中世纪温暖期阶段夏季降水量曾显著增加,主要表现为沙丘上的乔木和草本植物均获得了繁茂的生长,花粉沉积速率明显上升。作者推测,在中世纪温暖期中,欧亚大陆作为一个整体夏季温度可能暖于今天,这可能通过增强夏季风环流使中国东北夏季雨量增多,为沙丘植物茂盛生长提供了有利条件。     

辽西地区常州沟期——团山子期岩相古地理概况

辽西地区长城纪常州沟期-团山子期由陆源碎屑岩沉积底垫始,至形成稳定的碳酸盐岩台地止,构成了一个完整的海侵-海退旋回.根据其岩石组合、沉积构造、指相微量元素、古盐度及稀土元素比值等测试成果分析,这一时期沉积相做有规律的变化,早期发育河控三角洲相,中期发育无障壁海岸相、浅海陆棚相,晚期为有障壁海岸相、开阔台地相、局限台地相.     

中国中世纪暖期气候变化的基本特征

对中世纪暖期（MWP）的时空分异和区域影响进行综合分析,关系到对近百年来全球气候变暖驱动力的正确认识,也有助于客观地解析20世纪气候变化增暖的历史地位.本研究对中国疆域内各个地区MWP的一些成果进行梳理和再思考,表明MWP在中国疆域内的存在是毋庸置疑的,但不同地区MWP表现出明显的时空差异.中国中东部地区在800—1300 AD存在明显温暖期,各种地质记录和文献记载都有较明显反映;虽然西北部MWP表现不很明显,但是众多石笋、湖泊沉积和风沙沉积也记录了500—1500 AD间呈现温暖湿润的气候特征;青藏高原各地MWP的表现差异明显,其中800—1100 AD暖期是高原东北部最暖的时期,而南部和西部最暖期分别出现于1150—1400 AD和1250—1500 AD.太阳辐射变化和火山活动可能是形成MWP的基本原因,而中国三大自然区下垫面条件的复杂多样性造成MWP发生过程和表现形式的时空分异.     

Relationships between southern Chilean varved lake sediments,precipitation and ENSO for the last 600 years

In this paper, the relationships between paleo-precipitation and the regional influence of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in South America are assessed from a high-resolution calendar varve-thickness record. Two short laminated sediment cores (53 and 61 cm length) from Lago Puyehue (40° S) are analysed by continuous varve measurements through the last 600 years. The calendar varve years are determined by the occurrence of graded planktonic-rich layers. The annual sediment accumulation rates are reconstructed by using the standard varve-counting methods on thin sections. The 1980–2000 varve-thickness record is interpreted in terms of climate through correlation with limnological and local monthly instrumental climate databases. The comparison between the standardized varve thickness with the instrumental records reveals a strong correlation (r = 0.75, р = 0.07) between the total varve thickness and the austral autumn/winter precipitation. We argue that strong austral winter winds and precipitation are the forcing factors for the seasonal turn-over and phytoplankton increase in the lake sediments. During strong El Nino events the precipitation and the winds decrease abnormally, hence reducing the thickness of the biogenic sediments deposited after the winter turn-over. Our results show one significant regional maximum peak of winter precipitation (>900 mm) in the mid 20th century and a significant period with lower winter precipitation (<400 mm) before the 15th century, i.e., the late Medieval Warm Period. The first peak in the mid 20th century is confirmed by the regional precipitation database. The influence of ENSO cycles over the last 600 years is assessed by spectral analysis in Fagel et al. (2007). The possible influence of the regional volcanism and/or the seismic activity on the local climate record is also discussed. This is the sixth in a series of eight papers published in this special issue dedicated to the 17,900 year multi-proxy lacustrine record of Lago Puyehue, Chilean Lake District. The papers in this special issue were collected by M. De Batist, N. Fagel, M. -F. Loutre and E. Chapron.
