中东急流的季节变化特征及其与热力影响的关系

采用多年平均的NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,研究了中东急流强度和位置的季节变化特征及其与南北温差的关系。结果表明：1）中东地区上空西风带的强度和位置的垂直结构均具有明显的季节变化特征,冬、春季西风中心强度较大,夏、秋季西风中心强度较小;600hPa以上,冬、春季西风中心位置偏南,夏、秋季西风中心位置偏北。各季节的所有高度上,200hPa的西风中心风速最大。2）中东急流的强度和位置具有明显的季节变化特征。冬半年（11月—次年4月）中东急流较强,南北位置基本维持在27.5°N附近;夏半年（5—10月）中东急流较弱,5月后急流中心位置偏北,6—9月位于40°N附近,10月南撤至32.5°N。3）中东急流的强度和南北位置变化与500～200hPa整层平均的南北温差的对应关系很好,根据热成风原理,认为南北温差的季节性变化对中东急流的强度和南北位置变化具有重要影响。     

川西中泥盆统观雾山组白云岩储层储集空间类型、成因及演化

川西地区观雾山组白云岩储层储集空间主要为孔洞和裂缝两类。为弄清观雾山组白云岩储层孔洞成因、孔洞充填期次及演化,首先,通过对孔洞型白云岩储层发育规律与沉积相、层序关系的分析,结合第一期白云石胶结物形成与围岩白云石化的先后顺序,认为川西地区观雾山组白云岩储层孔洞为相控准同生岩溶形成;针对孔洞内不同期次白云石和方解石胶结物的包裹体均一温度、碳氧同位素、激光原位U-Pb同位素定年、锶同位素、稀土元素等分析,认为孔洞内胶结物形成于封闭的成岩环境,成岩流体为受下伏碎屑岩地层水加入改造的中泥盆世海水。观雾山组白云岩储层储集空间经历了三个演化阶段:沉积期-白云石化之前的孔洞及裂缝形成阶段、白云石化期间的围岩白云石化及第一期白云石胶结物形成阶段和中—深埋藏成岩期的孔隙定型阶段,其中中—深埋藏阶段是孔隙减少的主要阶段,造成约25%的孔隙损失。     

Discovery of cryptotephra at Middle–Upper Paleolithic sites Arma Veirana and Riparo Bombrini,Italy: a new link for broader geographic correlations

Chemical characterization of cryptotephra is critical for temporally linking archaeological sites. Here, we describe cryptotephra investigations of two Middle–Upper Paleolithic sites from north-west Italy, Arma Veirana and Riparo Bombrini. Cryptotephra are present as small (<100 µm) rhyolitic glass shards at both sites, with geochemical signatures rare for volcanoes in the Mediterranean region. Two chemically distinct shard populations are present at Arma Veirana (P1 and P2). P1 is a high silica rhyolite (>75 wt.%) with low FeO (<1 wt.%) and a K₂O/Na₂O > 1 and P2 is also a high silica rhyolite (>75 wt.%) but with higher FeO (2.33–2.65 wt.%). Shards at Riparo Bombrini (P3) are of the same composition as P1 shards at Arma Veirana, providing a distinct link between deposits at both sites. Geochemical characteristics suggest three possible sources for P1 and P3: eruptions from Lipari Island (56–37.7 ka) in Italy, the Acigöl volcanic field (200–20 ka) in Turkey and the Miocene Kirka-Phrigian caldera (18 Ma) in Turkey. Eruptions from Lipari Island are the most likely source for P1,3 cryptotephra. This study highlights how cryptotephra can benefit archaeology, by providing a direct link between Arma Veirana and Riparo Bombrini as well as other deposits throughout the Mediterranean.     

Characterization and correlation of the Hegawa-Kasamori 5 tephra,a widespread tephra aged c. 450 ka associated with large-scale pyroclastic flows from southern Kyushu,SW Japan

A Middle Pleistocene widespread tephra, defined here as Hegawa-Kasamori 5 tephra (Hgw-Ks5), has been newly recognized over a broad area of Japan. Large-scale pyroclastic flow deposits associated with co-ignimbrite ash fall deposits (CAFDs) of Hgw-Ks5 have been identified in the proximal southern Kyushu area, south-west Japan. Hgw-Ks5 possibly originated from the Aira caldera in southern Kyushu, and it is widely spread and intercalated with deposits of the Kasamori Formation, Honshu Island, more than 1000 km away from the source. In the north-west area of the Aira Caldera, the tephra is sparsely distributed in the form of non-welded ignimbrites, and is exposed stratigraphically above the well-known Kobayashi-Kasamori tephra. Hgw-Ks5 is characterized through petrographic features, major element geochemistry of glass shards, and refractive indices of orthopyroxene. The results of previous stratigraphic isotope studies indicate that the eruptive age of Hgw-Ks5 is 434–458 ka (Marine Isotope Stage 12). Assuming that the CAFDs originating from the Aira Caldera are distributed concentrically, the apparent volume of Hgw-Ks5, estimated from the area of distribution and CAFD thickness, is ~100 km³. Therefore, a volcanic explosivity index of 7 is assigned to the Hgw-Ks5 eruption.     

The lunar tides in the Antarctic mesosphere and lower thermosphere

Horizontal winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere over the Antarctic have been measured by a meteor radar at Rothera (67.5°S, 68.0°W) and MF radar at Davis (68.6°S, 78.0°E). Data from Rothera recorded over a 20-month interval in 2005–2006 and data from Davis recorded over the 13-year interval 1994–2006 are examined to investigate the monthly mean behaviour of the lunar semidiurnal tide. Both data sets show a clear signal of the 12.42-h lunar semidiurnal (M₂) tide. The amplitude reaches values as large as 8 m s⁻¹. The vertical wavelengths of the tide vary seasonally from 10 to 65 km. Comparisons of the phase of the tide measured over the two sites reveals that it does not purely consist of a migrating wavenumber 2 mode. This suggests that other, non-migrating, modes are likely to be present.

东昆仑东段可日正长花岗岩年龄和岩石成因对东昆仑中三叠世构造演化的制约

可日岩体位于东昆仑造山带东段东昆北构造带,岩性为含暗色微粒包体正长花岗岩。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年结果显示寄主岩和暗色微粒包体的结晶年龄分别为231.58±0.49Ma和232.6±2.3Ma。可日正长花岗岩主体为弱过铝质中钾钙碱性I型花岗岩,具有较高的SiO_2含量(72.06%~74.49%)和Na_2O/K_2O(1.00~1.35)、Nb/Ta(15.4~27.9)比值,较低的值(14~31)和Rb/Ba(0.10~0.46)比值,富集大离子亲石元素(LILE),亏损高场强元素(HFSE)。岩体为巴颜喀拉地块同东昆仑地块碰撞后,板片断离持续作用产生的镁铁质熔体底侵中下地壳使其部分熔融的结果。暗色微粒包体同寄主岩具有相近的结晶年龄、较细粒度、含有寄主岩捕获晶、针状磷灰石,显示包体是镁铁质岩浆注入寄主岩快速冷却的产物。由于寄主岩分离结晶,残留熔体与包体的浓度梯度差导致元素扩散,使两者具有物质交换。东昆仑东段晚古生代-早中生代幔源岩浆对花岗质岩浆的影响是一个持续的过程,从俯冲阶段早期流体交代地幔熔融,到俯冲阶段后期板片断离,然后同碰撞阶段板片断离的持续影响,再到后碰撞阶段加厚地壳的拆沉作用,由于地球动力学体制不同,导致幔源岩浆影响的大小和特征不同。可日岩体年龄及岩石成因显示东昆仑地区在232Ma左右处于同碰撞阶段。     

Aminostratigraphy of Middle and Late Pleistocene deposits in The Netherlands and the southern part of the North Sea Basin

A review of all available amino acid racemization D (alloisoleucine)/L (isoleucine) data from the whole shell of four molluscan species from Late and late Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Netherlands is presented. The data allow the distinction of 5 aminostratigraphical units, NAZ (Netherlands Amino Zone) A–E, each representing a temperate stage. The zones are correlated with marine isotope stages 1, 5e, 7, 9, and 11 respectively. Apart from NAZ-D (MIS 9), in all aminozones the marine transgression reached the present-day onshore area of the Netherlands. The transgression during NAZ-C (Oostermeer Interglacial: MIS 7) seems to be at least as widespread as its counterpart during NAZ-B (Eemian: MIS 5e) in the southern bight of the North Sea Basin. The stratigraphic position of the Oostermeer Interglacial is just below deposits of the Drente phase of the Saalian and because of this position the interglacial marine deposits have formerly erroneously considered to be of Holsteinian age. Neede, the ‘classic’ Dutch Holsteinian site, is dated in NAZ-E (MIS 11), like Noordbergum. Although the validity of these zones has been checked with independent data, some overlap between succeeding zones may occur. The relation between amino acid data from elsewhere in the North Sea Basin and the Netherlands amino zonation is discussed. The deposits at the Holsteinian stratotype Hummelsbüttel in North West Germany are dated in NAZ-D. This interglacial correlates with MIS 9. The Belvédère Interglacial, which is of importance for its archaeology, is in NAZ-D (MIS 9) and therefore of Holsteinian age as well. The lacustroglacial ‘pottery clays’ in the Noordbergum area are deposits from two glacial stages, which can be correlated with MIS 8 and 10 (the Elsterian). The pottery clay that is considered equivalent to the German ‘Lauenburger Ton’ correlates with MIS 10.
