降水强迫对戈壁局地气候系统水、热输送的影响

用黑河实验中化音站（戈壁）加强期的湍流脉动场资料对降水强迫影响戈壁局地气候系统水、热输送的过程进行了系统分析。结果表明：降水强迫会使戈壁局地气候系统出现暂时的不平衡状态，要重新回到平衡状态需要通过物质和能量的重新调配来实现。该过程可划分为４个阶段，各个阶段间的感热、潜热和水汽通量均有较大差异。从近地层水、热输送特征看，受降水强迫后非平衡状态的张弛时段大约为４ｄ。在整个张弛期间，地表接收到的降水约有２／３通过地表蒸发后输送到大气，其余部分可能被渗入地下     

频率域波动方程正演基于多重网格预条件的迭代算法研究

频率域全波形反演是重要的地震成像方法,而频率域波动方程数值模拟是频率域全波形反演的基础.对于大规模的问题,由于受存储和计算量的限制,基于LU分解的直接方法一般不再适用,而是采用迭代方法.基于多重网格预条件的双共轭梯度稳定化方法是一种重要的迭代方法.本文重点讨论了多重网格预条件求解过程中的松弛因子选择方法,研究结果表明,(1)对于一般选取的松弛因子,随模型复杂性的增加,所能计算的重数逐渐下降,方法的实用性也随之下降;(2)对于复杂模型,采用局部模式分析方法选取松弛因子,提高了所能计算的重数,保证了多重网格方法的收敛性和实用性.这些研究成果对基于多重网格预条件的迭代算法的实际应用具有重要意义.

海底多金属硫化物主要分布于洋中脊,是极具潜力的新型战略资源,其中以浸染型最难识别,探索有效的勘探评价方法必要且紧迫.弛豫时间谱起源于石油勘探中的激发极化测井,在金属矿尤其是海底多金属硫化物中的研究明显不足.本文将本征半导体极化理论引入原本以薄膜极化理论为基础的传统弛豫时间谱中,提出了一种评价浸染型海底多金属硫化物岩石物...     

Transport and retention in an upwelling region: The role of across-shelf structure

The paradox of upwelling is the relationship between strong wind forcing, nutrient enrichment, and shelf productivity. Here we investigate how across-shelf structure in velocity and hydrography plays a role in the retention (inshore) and export (offshore) of particles such as nutrients, plankton and larvae. We examine the spatial structure of the coastal currents during wind-driven upwelling and relaxation on the northern Californian Shelf. The field work was conducted as part of the Wind Events and Shelf Transport (WEST) project, a 5-year NSF/CoOP-funded study of the role of wind-driven transport in shelf productivity off Bodega Bay (northern California) from 2000 to 2003. We combine shipboard velocity profiles (ADCP) and water properties from hydrographic surveys during the upwelling season to examine the mean across-shelf structure of the hydrography and velocity fields during three contrasting upwelling seasons, and throughout the upwelling-relaxation cycle. We also present results from two winter seasons that serve as contrast to the upwelling seasons.During all three upwelling seasons clear spatial structure is evident in velocity and hydrography across the shelf, exemplified by current reversals inshore and the presence of a persistent upwelling jet at the shelf break. This jet feature changes in structure and distance from the coast under different wind forcing regimes. The jet also changes from the north of our region, where it is a single narrow jet, adjacent to the coast, and to the south of our region, where it broadens and at times two jets become evident. We present observations of the California Under Current, which was observed at the outer edge of our domain during all three upwelling seasons. The observed across-shelf structure could aid both in the retention of plankton inshore during periods of upwelling followed by relaxation and in the export of plankton offshore in the upwelling jet.     

Dynamic microplasticity manifestation in consolidated sandstone in the acoustical frequency range

Microplasticity manifestations caused by acoustical wave in the frequency range of about 4.5 kHz–7.0 kHz are detected in consolidated artificial sandstone. Equipment was tested by means of comparison of data obtained for a standard material (aluminium) and sandstone. Microplasticity manifestations in acoustic records are present in the form of the ladder‐like changes in the amplitude course. The stress plateaus in the acoustic trace interrupt the amplitude course, transform the wavefront, and shift the arrival time along the time axis. Microplasticity contribution to the acoustic record changes with the increase in the strain amplitude value. The combined elastic–microplastic process conditions the wavefront steepness and its duration. Stress plateaus exert influence on the waveform and, accordingly, on pulse frequency response. These results confirm the earlier data obtained for weakly consolidated rock. This contribution to wave propagation physics can be useful in solving applied problems, as, for instance, the reservoir properties prediction by means of wave attenuation in acoustic logging and seismic prospecting.     

Live benthic foraminiferal faunas off Cape Blanc, NW-Africa: Community structure and microhabitats

Live (Rose-Vengal stained) benthic foraminifera were studied along a transect across the main area of organic matter deposition in the Cape Blanc upwelling region. The faunal analyses suggest that at the shallowest station (1200 m) the benthic ecosystem is permanently influenced by the upwelling, whereas at the deepest stations (3010 and 2530 m depth) the ocean bottom is subject to significant organic influxes only in summer. The vertical zonation of foraminiferal species in the sediment shows a close correspondence with the depth distribution of oxic respiration, nitrate and sulphate reduction. It is suggested that this linkage is caused by the presence of various stocks of anaerobic and sulphate- and nitrate-reducing bacteria. Deep infaunal foraminiferal species are thought to feed selectively, either on the bacterial stocks or on nutritious particles produced by bacterial degradation of more refractory organic matter. As such, foraminiferal microhabitats are only indirectly controlled by pore water oxygen concentrations.     

Extreme rainfalls in Eastern Himalaya and southern slope of Meghalaya Plateau and their geomorphologic impacts

This paper presents the detailed rainfall characteristics of 3 key areas located in the eastern monsoon India: the margin of Darjeeling Himalaya, the margin of Bhutanese Himalaya and the Cherrapunji region at the southern slope of Meghalaya Upland. All these areas are sensitive to changes but differ in annual rainfall totals (2000–4000 mm, 4000–6000 m and 6000–23,000 mm respectively) and in the frequency of extreme rainfalls. Therefore the response of geomorphic processes is different, also due to various human impact. In the Darjeeling Himalaya the thresholds may be passed 2–3 times in one century and the system may return to the former equilibrium. At the margin of western Bhutanese Himalaya in 1990s, the clustering of three events caused an acceleration in the transformation and formation of a new trend of evolution, especially in the piedmont zone. In the Cherrapunji of Meghalaya region in the natural conditions the effects of dozens of extreme rainfalls every year were checked by the dense vegetation cover. After deforestation and extensive land use the fertile soil was removed and either the exposed bedrock or armoured debris top layer protect the surface against degradation and facilitate only rapid overland flow. A new “sterile” system has been formed.     

Equilibrium and time scales in geomorphology: Application to sand-bed alluvial streams

Equilibrium is defined as a single-valued, temporally invariant functional relationship between the values of an output variable and the values of the input variable(s) in a geomorphic system. Disequilibrium occurs if the output deviates from the functional relationship by more than a consensual degree. Natural geomorphic variables are characterized by a relaxation time. Output variables are insensitive to cyclical inputs with frequencies much greater than the relaxation time, but can respond completely for sufficiently low frequencies. Rapid trends, recent step changes or pulse inputs, and intermediate frequency inputs can cause disequilibrium. The gradient of sand-bed alluvial channels (the output variable) is determined by sediment and water delivery from slopes (the input variables), and changes in this hydraulic regime require regrading by erosion and deposition. Initial stages of adjustment to changed regime in a long, unbranched channel with sediment and water delivery only at the upstream end propagate downstream, but later stages of adjustment occur simultaneously throughout the reach. In a dendritic channel network the gradient responds rather uniformly throughout the network to changes in regime during all stages of adjustment. The time scale of adjustment to changed regime depends upon the size of the channel network (or stream length), the sediment and water discharges, and to a lesser degree upon the magnitude of the change. Grade as defined by Mackin (1948) is synonymous with equilibrium as used in this paper if ‘a period of years’ is replaced by ‘a time period commensurate with the relaxation time of the gradient’. The use of the term grade is best restricted to a single-valued relationship between channel gradient and the hydraulic regime.     

中高层（60-120km）大气电参数非线性效应对地闪回击电磁场传播的影响

基于麦克斯韦方程组,通过综合考虑电子热效应和电离、吸附效应的非线性变化,利用二维时域有限差分算法(2D FDTD),建立了对流层-中高层大气电动力耦合模式,分析了中高层大气电参数的非线性效应对地闪回击电磁场传播的影响。结果表明,对微秒量级的地闪回击辐射场而言,在60 km以下,由于弛豫时间为毫秒量级,不需要考虑电参数的非线性效应。而在60 km以上的空间,由于弛豫时间快速减小至小于微秒量级,必须考虑电参数非线性效应带来的影响。如果考虑中高层大气电参数非线性效应,距地面90 km高度处地闪回击辐射场峰值明显减小,其中,垂直电场受影响最明显,场峰值最大可减小75%左右,而水平电场受影响相对较小。因为垂直电场脉冲持续时间为几百微秒,而水平电场脉冲持续时间仅为几十微秒,电磁场脉冲持续时间越长,受微秒量级中高层大气电介质弛豫时间的影响越大。
