地球系统10~(-1)年变化原因概述

我们曾论述了地球系统100～108年变化的原因[1], 唯对10-1年（月一年）的地球系统变化未指出其变化原因。经过近年的研究, 现在可以明确地指出, 地球内部有两类流体： 地外核和岩石圈裂隙中地下流体（地气）的活动是引发10-1年地球系统变化的原因。外核的上升运动会使其上部岩石圈产生上抬和压缩, 在地表层就出现3.2 m地温升高和降水减少的“干热异常”, 经过“孕震三步曲”最终引发构造地震。外核的下降运动会使其上部岩石圈产生下沉和拉张作用, 地表层表现为3.2 m地温降低, 同时降水增多的“湿冷异常”, 最终可导致发生陷落地震。外核的脉冲运动是引发岩石圈中形成地热（冷）涡的“源”。地气环流也是旋转地球上的一种流体运动, 其特征速度（地下风速）约为0.2 m/s, 据此可推得“自然气候周期”约为8个月。地气环流是使地气系统得以“流”的动力源。地热（冷）涡的“源”、 “流”相结合是使短期气候呈现纷繁复杂变化的原因。     

北京城区夏季污染建立、维持、消退的天气过程

利用北京城区污染观测站2006~2013年夏季可吸入颗粒物PM10逐日浓度检测资料,挑选所有PM10浓度大于150μg/m~3的个例,合成分析华北及北京地区风场变化情况,发现风速在污染当天变化不明显,南风与PM10的相关性普遍为正,污染当天各区南风增加较大,太行山一带甚至增长了5倍。南风异常可能会使河北、山东等地污染物向北京输送,造成北京大气污染。同时我们分析北京夏季空气污染时大气环流特征。在500 h Pa与200 h Pa,北京和内蒙古上空有显著的高压异常。在850 h Pa,环流场表现为东正西负的高度场异常,其中北京在正负异常分界线上。低层气压梯度异常会造成北京和以南地区南风异常。同时,我们发现北京污染天气伴随的高空环流异常具有准定常特征。在污染前4天,蒙古上空存在一个显著的高层高压异常。该高压异常增强并向南延伸,在污染当天控制北京和内蒙古。在污染消退期,该异常也逐渐消退。但在消退后第四天,北京和内蒙古上空依然受高压异常控制。这表明北京夏季污染和高空准定常环流异常有关。     

沈阳冬夏季可吸入颗粒物浓度及尺度谱分布特征

利用沈阳大气成分监测站颗粒物监测仪 (Grimm 180) 连续测得的夏季 (2006年8月)、冬季 (2006年12月和2007年1月) 可吸入颗粒物的数浓度和质量浓度数据, 分析了沈阳市可吸入颗粒物浓度日变化、谱分布及污染特征, 在此基础上结合沈阳市常规气象资料, 分析了气象要素和颗粒物污染之间的关系。结果表明:沈阳市冬、夏季部分时段可吸入颗粒物浓度存在明显的日变化和日际变化; 谱分布较好地符合Junge分布; 沈阳冬季PM₁₀超标日数占冬季观测总天数的77%, PM_2.5超标日数 (按美国EPA日均标准) 占冬季观测总天数的87%, PM₁₀平均数浓度为6668.7个/cm3, 平均质量浓度达252.8μg/m3, 分别是夏季的3.0和2.4倍; 冬、夏季PM_2.5/PM₁₀平均质量分数分别为0.647和0.603, PM_2.5占可吸入颗粒物总数量的99%以上; 浓度变化在很大程度上受到各种气象要素的影响, 与温度、风速负相关, 与湿度正相关, 降雨、降雪过程使得颗粒物浓度明显降低, 近地层逆温和雾是颗粒物增多的一个重要因素。颗粒物污染对城市能见度影响较大。     

The topology and polarization of subbeams associated with the 'drifting' subpulse emission of pulsar B0943+10 – V. A new look at the low-frequency burst-mode emission

This paper reports new observations of pulsar B0943+10 carried out at the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (PRAO) at the low radio frequencies of 42, 62 and 112 MHz. B0943+10 is well known for its exquisitely regular burst-mode (B-mode) drifting subpulses as well as its weaker and chaotic quiescent mode. Earlier Arecibo investigations at 327 MHz have identified remarkable, continuous changes in its B-mode subpulse drift rate and integrated-profile shape with durations of several hours. These PRAO observations reveal that the changes in profile shape during the B-mode lifetime are strongly frequency dependent – namely the measured changes in the component amplitude ratio are more dramatic at 327 and 112 MHz as compared with those at 62 and 42 MHz. The differences, however, are most marked during the first several tens of minutes after B-mode onset; after an hour or so the profile shape changes tend to be more similar at all four frequencies. We also have found that the linear polarization of the integrated profile increases continuously throughout the lifetime of the B mode, going from hardly 10 per cent just after onset to some 40–50 per cent after several hours. Pulsar B0943+10's B mode thus provides a unique new opportunity to investigate continuous systematic changes in the plasma flow within the polar flux tube. While refraction in the pulsar's magnetosphere may well play some role, we find that the various frequency-dependent effects, both between and within the two modes, can largely be understood geometrically. If the modes and B-mode decay reflect systematic variations in the carousel-'spark' radius and emission height then a specific set of profile and linear polarization changes would be expected.

Meltwater discharge during the Holocene from the Wilkes subglacial basin revealed by beryllium isotope analysis of marine sediments

Understanding Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics related to global climate change is of scientific and societal interest as the future behaviour of the ice sheet under the currently changing climate is unknown. We present beryllium‐10 (¹⁰Be) analysis of a high‐resolution marine sediment core from the Adélie Basin near the eastern Wilkes Land margin, which is susceptible to marine ice sheet instability due to the low‐lying nature and down‐sloping trough of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin. Combined with a newly constructed age model using compound specific radiocarbon dates, the data reveal three events associated with high meteoric ¹⁰Be at ca. ~10 ka, ca. ~6.5 ka and from ca. ~4 ka. We interpret these high meteoric ¹⁰Be events to be derived from the deposition of ¹⁰Be released from the ice sheet during meltwater discharge. In particular, the shift to higher meteoric ¹⁰Be concentration at~4 ka may correspond to changes in climate patterns at this time. Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Late Pleistocene climate of the northern Iberian Peninsula: New insights from palaeoglaciers at Fuentes Carrionas (Cantabrian Mountains)

New ¹⁰Be dates for glacial landforms in the Fuentes Carrionas area (Cantabrian Mountains, nothern Spain) are presented. Mapped and dated landforms in Fuentes Carrionas made possible a palaeoglacier reconstruction for four glacial stages. Results were compared to other nearby palaeoenvironmental proxies, so a final approximation on the mean annual temperature and annual precipitation that caused the four glacial advance stages is proposed. Glaciers reached their maximum extension at 36 ka, in a cold and dry environment. A second advance stage took place between 18.5 and 19.5 ka, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), when glaciers advanced in a wet environment, with positive rainfall anomalies. A third glacial advance was dated during the Oldest Dryas, in which climate shifted to extremely cold and dry conditions. Finally, a last stage has been identified and proposed to the Younger Dryas, in which precipitation anomalies are negligible. Our results confirm some of the previously made palaeoglacial and palaeoenvironmental inferences for the Iberian Peninsula, as well as provide valuable and accurate anomalies, which are useful for climate modelling.
