动能EOF分析和β中尺度雨团中的能量转换

本文针对2008年上海8月25日暴雨过程,利用WRF中尺度数值模式对其较好模拟的结果,应用EOF分析方法对其做了动能偏差场的统计动力诊断。探讨了该暴雨过程中各种尺度天气系统,特别是β中尺度雨 团,其有效位能向动能的转化机制。所得主要结论有:对该暴雨过程,动能偏差场EOF分析的第一、二、三模态可分别称为暴雨背景模态、暴雨系统模态和暴雨雨团模态。在该暴雨落区附近,低层各模态动能偏差场水平梯度的绝对值均较大,系统演变也较剧烈,且尤以暴雨雨团模态为甚;这表明低层暴雨雨团模态该处风场具有强烈的非地转性,有着强辐合,运动是非平衡的,其性质为重力惯性波(含涡旋—重力惯性混合波)。在某等压面上,有效位能的时间变化与位势偏差的时间变化相同,而前者的水平梯度则与后者的空间梯度大致相同,这样讨论某层前者的变化就归结于讨论该层后者的变化。暴雨来临前在该暴雨落区附近,前三个模态都有有效位能向动能的 转化,其表现为动能的增长和有效位能的下降,且以暴雨雨团模态表现更突出。暴雨雨团模态的尺度为β中尺 度,这表明该尺度的系统在有效位能向动能转换中起着关键作用,且扮演着有效位能与涡旋场动能之间转换的中介角色。     

Neoproterozoic crustal growth at the margin of the East Gondwana continent – age and isotopic constraints from the easternmost inliers of Oman

ABSTRACT

The Jebel Ja’alan and Qalhat inliers of Oman represent the easternmost exposures in the Arabian peninsula of the Neoproterozoic basement associated with the East African Orogen (EAO) and the assembly of East and West Gondwana. These inliers expose tonalitic gneisses and metasediments intruded by granodiorites and granites of the Ja’alan batholith. Zircons from the gneisses yield U–Pb SIMS ages of ca. 900–880 Ma, which are interpreted as crystallization ages. These represent the oldest magmatic events associated with the closure of the Mozambique Ocean reported to date. Zircon of this age is also the dominant component in the metasediments. The Ja’alan batholith yields ages of ca. 840–825 Ma. Nd isotopes indicate that both the gneisses and the batholith range from juvenile to slightly more evolved, with ε_Nd(t) of +6 to +1.5 interpreted to reflect variable contamination by older, evolved continental material; this is also indicated by >900 Ma detrital zircon from the metasediments. The Nd data also contrast with the uniformly juvenile signature of younger, ca. 840 Ma, rocks of the Marbat region of southern Oman that lie structurally to the west. The Ja’alan and Qalhat inliers thus document eastward increasing age and continental influence, consistent with the progressive development of arc rocks onto the western margin of East Gondwana, although the location and nature of the eastern continental block remain elusive.     

辽东大连新元古代臼齿构造（Molar-tooth）形态与沉积微环境关系探讨

臼齿构造（Molar tooth）,简称MT,是一种仅发育于前寒武纪碳酸盐岩地层中的特殊沉积现象。在全世界的许多地区
广泛发育。中国辽宁大连地区新元古代碳酸盐岩中发育了大量的臼齿构造。野外和室内的观察研究将MT 形态划分为2 大类
（原地MT 和异地MT）,5 亚类（条带状、杆状、蠕虫状、斑状和碎屑状）,主要发育浅潮下带-潮间带环境。通过对MT 形
态及发育的微环境特征分析得出,大连地区MT 形态与沉积微环境存在一定的对应关系。泻湖中以MT1-1 和MT1-2 类型为主,
潮间带中部主要发育MT1-3 和MT4 类型,潮间带中部-潮间带上部常见MT2 和MT3类型,浅潮下带风暴浪基面附近或潮间
带下部高能环境多见MT5 类型。由此推断,在水体安静并且陆源碎屑物质干扰小的环境中,容易产生平直或弯曲的宽、长
条带状MT,而在动荡的水体中或是陆源碎屑物质含量高的环境中,往往形成短小的MT。因此,MT 的形态类型一定程度受
到沉积水动力条件和陆源碎屑物质混入的影响。此外,大量的陆源碎屑物质的混入或抑制MT形成或减小MT 的发育规模。

Neoproterozoic tectonic synthesis of Uruguay

Neoproterozoic–lower Palaeozoic successions in the Brasiliano fold belts are described and a brief synthesis of these terranes is presented in order to erect a tectonic framework for this region. Tectonic events that occurred around the Río de La Plata craton were diachronous and reflected successive stages of the Brasiliano orogenic cycle. They took place in mobile belts that constituted part of the Gondwana supercontinent. The most thoroughly investigated Neoproterozoic sections are located in the eastern and southeastern regions of Uruguay. The Dom Feliciano Belt shows a tectonic evolution from back-arc to foreland basin characterized by fold-and-thrust, thick-skinned belts developed during the Brasiliano/Pan-African orogenic cycle. The most conspicuous features were late-tectonic high-K calc-alkaline granitoids, HT-LP metamorphism, significant displacements along shear zones, and post-tectonic granitoids. The final stage was characterized by post-collisional basins (molassic sequences) and extensional magmatism related to a phase of crustal stretching. Several lithotectonic units are present as basement inliers in the Dom Feliciano Belt: these include a low-to-medium metamorphic grade sequence (the Zanja del Tigre Formation), granitoids and gneisses (the Campanero Unit), high-grade basement of the Cerro Olivo Complex (Palaeoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic), and a low-metamorphic grade orogenic belt (the Rocha Formation). This paper provides a simplified tectonic map of eastern Uruguay, which we use to describe tectonic evolution from Precambrian to early Palaeozoic time.     

Constraints on the onset age of the Sturtian glaciation from the Southeast Yangtze Block,South China

ABSTRACT

The Neoproterozoic glaciations represent a milestone in the Earth evolution due to their influence on atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. Evidence for the Sturtian glaciation, the early stage of Cryogenian, has been recorded worldwide, but the precise timing and synchroneity of its counterpart, the Chang’an glaciation, in South China have been controversial. As such, new zircon U–Pb ages from the pre-Sturtian Gongdong Formation and the overlying the Chang’an Formation in southeastern Yangtze Block were reported. The youngest U–Pb zircon age from a tuff sample of the topmost Gongdong Formation was 716.8 ± 6.8 Ma, and that from a sandstone sample of the lower Chang’an Formation was 725.9 ± 4.4 Ma. The zircon weighted mean age of 716.8 ± 6.8 Ma was interpreted as the maximum depositional age of the termination of the Danzhou Group. This age, along with the ages reported from the bottom of the Danzhou Group, constrains deposition of the Danzhou Group to between ca. 820 Ma and ca. 715 Ma. The age of 716.8 ± 6.8 Ma from the top of the Gongdong Formation is consistent with the SIMS U-Pb age of 715.9 ± 2.8 Ma from the Sibao section, as well as ages from the Banxi Group, Liantuo Group, and Kaijianqiao Formation in the Yangtze Block, which further constrain the onset time of the Sturtian glaciation in South China at ca. 715 Ma. It is also, with uncertainties, consistent with ages from pre-Sturtian strata in Laurentia and Oman, which indicates a global synchroneity and extent for the Sturtian glaciation.     

New data on detrital zircons from the sandstones of the lower Cambrian Brusov Formation (White Sea region,East-European Craton): unravelling the timing of the onset of the Arctida–Baltica collision

The basement of the northeastern periphery of the East-European Craton (ЕЕС) is composed of volcanic-sedimentary sequences, volcanic rocks, granitoids, and rare ophiolite complexes. Geochronological data constrain their age from ca. 750 to 500 Ma, and there is a consensus that these rocks represent relicts of a late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian Pre-Uralides–Timanides orogeny. Combining new integrated isotopic (U-Pb, Lu-Hf) and trace-element data (TerraneChrone^® approach) on detrital zircons from sandstones of the lower Cambrian Brusov Formation in the Mezen basin (White Sea region in the northeastern periphery of the EEC) with available studies on detrital zircons from Neoproterozoic–middle Cambrian (meta)sedimentary units of the northeastern periphery of the EEC allow us to conclude that (1) the onset of the Arctida–Baltica collision can now be constrained to the time interval between ca. 540 and 510 Ma and (2) the Ediacaran–early Cambrian Mezen sedimentary basin was a basin on the Timanian passive margin of Baltica up to 540 Ma, but was not a foreland basin of the Pre-Uralides–Timanides orogen.     

桂北平英花岗岩锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素、地球化学特征及其地质意义

通过对桂北平英花岗质岩体详细的锆石U-Pb年代学、Hf同位素组成及岩石地球化学特征的研究,论证了岩体的形成时代、成因类型、源区性质及其与宝坛锡矿的成矿关系。该岩体中心相-粗粒黑云母花岗岩的锆石LA-MC-ICP-MS U-Pb定年表明,其~(206)Pb/~(238)U加权平均年龄为834.2±5.1 Ma,属新元古代构造岩浆活动的产物。平英花岗岩具有高硅、富碱、强过铝质的特征,岩石富集Cs、Rb、U、Ta而亏损Ba、Sr、Ti等元素。球粒陨石标准化稀土配分曲线呈右倾形和强烈的Eu负异常(Eu/Eu*=0.05~0.31)。花岗岩中锆石的εHf(t)值介于-12.6~-1.6之间,峰值在-4.8~-3.0之间;二阶段模式年龄T_(DM)~C(Hf)在1.83~2.51 Ga之间,峰值在1.9~2.0 Ga之间。这些特征表明平英岩体形成于该区古元古代富硼基底的部分熔融作用,并经历了高度的分异演化过程。桂北九万大山—元宝山地区的新元古代黑云母花岗岩具有良好的锡成矿潜力,是华南多时代花岗岩演化及锡多金属成矿系列的重要组成部分。
