A NEW FINDING OF SURFACE RUPTURE ZONES ASSOCIATED WITH THE 1936 LINGSHAN M6(3/4) EARTHQUAKE,GUANGXI, CHINA

On April 1, 1936, an M6(3/4) earthquake occurred on the Fangcheng-lingshan Fault. This event is the biggest historical earthquake on the coastal seismic zone, South China ever. But so far, no any findings about the surface rupture of this event have been reported. This paper is the first to find several intact surface rupture zones associated with the 1936 Lingshan seismic event, in the areas of Gaotang, Jiaogengping etc. on the northeast segment of the Fangcheng-Lingshan Fault. According to the field work, the surface rupture stretches to 10km and distributes along NE direction in front of Luoyang Mountain, represented by earthquake scarp, extensional fracture, dextrally faulted gully and river system etc. The characteristics of surface ruptures and faulted landforms indicate that the surface rupture is of normal-dextral strike slip faulting. The trenching on this fault exposed that at least three seismic events have been recorded, including two historical earthquake events and the latest one is the 1936 Lingshan M6(3/4) earthquake. These surface rupture zones are the key to the detection of seismogenic structure and the re-estimate of magnitude of this event. The new finding of these surface rupture zones would be particularly significant for the detection of the seismogenic structure of Lingshan M6(3/4) earthquake.     

Integrated evaluation of urban groundwater hydrogeochemistry in context of fractal behaviour of groundwater level fluctuations

The present study was carried out as part of a complex survey of urban groundwater quality and quantity in Szeged, southeast Hungary. The concentrations of 12 inorganic contaminants in 28 shallow groundwater monitoring wells were determined over a 2-year period (2010–2012). The evaluation of concentrations indicates remarkable contamination all over the city. Discriminant analysis (DA) was used to evaluate the spatial changes of groundwater quality. The groundwater levels were measured over a 14-year period (2000–2013). The fractal properties of water level fluctuations time series characterizing the groundwater system and Tisza River were investigated using rescaled range (R/S) analysis. The resulting Hurst exponents clearly showed the persistency and thus long memory effects of both the groundwater and the river flow. Comparison of the results of DA with the results of R/S analysis thus implies that the geological conditions and the changing groundwater quantities are not related to groundwater quality.

南黄海OBS数据转换横波分析及其地质意义

多分量地震勘探在减小地球物理反演问题多解性的同时提供了更丰富的地下信息,可以从量化的意义上真正实现岩性勘探.由于地壳结构的复杂性及转换横波的特殊性,南黄海地壳结构研究中基本未涉及横波.本文使用南黄海OBS数据,在不同剖面上对比分析纵横波走时、视速度以及质点运动轨迹,基于纵波理论模型对转换横波震相进行射线追踪和走时试算,识别并拟合了来自不同地层的转换横波震相.研究表明,北部坳陷中主要发生了PPS转换,转换界面为陆相沉积层底界面.千里岩隆起区除了发生转换界面为陆相沉积底界面的PPS转换还有转换界面为海底的PSS转换.断层活动引起岩石破碎,高波速比特征的断层边界为胶莱盆地在海上部分的边界圈定再添证据.千里岩地区高速地层成分含有花岗岩,其纵横波速比为1.67~1.68;推测北部坳陷中的海相沉积北-南地层不同,依次为碳酸盐岩及砂岩两类地层.     

中国东北地区高分辨率地壳结构:远震接收函数

利用分布在东北地区的国家地震局台网、NECESSArray台网、吉林大学在长白山及其周边地区布设的26个临时台站总计259个台站接收到的16,070条高质量的P波接收函数,采用H-k和CCP(Common Conversion Point,共转换点)叠加成像方法,获得该区高分辨率的地壳结构.观测结果显示,东北地区莫霍界面深度和地表高程总体呈镜像关系;西部大兴安岭—太行山重力梯级带附近存在莫霍界面深度陡变带;中部的松辽盆地地区受晚中生代的地壳拉伸作用影响,地壳厚度较薄,北部的小兴安岭地区和南部的华北北缘造山带可能同样受拉伸运动影响,具有较小的地壳厚度;松辽盆地莫霍界面深度由西向东逐渐减小,推测这与太平洋板块俯冲作用有关;东部地区莫霍界面结构比较复杂,依兰—伊通断裂与敦化—密山断裂之间出现复杂震相,可能与该区存在地幔物质的底侵作用有关;长白山火山地区地壳厚度较大,对应较高的波速比,推测在该区地壳内存在岩浆囊.     

Mediating stream baseflow response to climate change: The role of basin storage

Inter‐basin differences in streamflow response to changes in regional hydroclimatology may reflect variations in storage characteristics that control the retention and release of water inputs. These aspects of storage could mediate a basin's sensitivity to climate change. The hypothesis that temporal trends in stream baseflow exhibit a more muted reaction to changes in precipitation and evapotranspiration for basins with greater storage was tested on the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) in Southern Ontario, Canada. Long‐term (>25 years) baseflow trends for 16 basins were compared to corresponding trends in precipitation amount and type and in potential evapotranspiration as well as shorter trends in groundwater levels for monitoring wells on the ORM. Inter‐basin differences in storage properties were characterized using physiographic, hydrogeologic, land use/land cover, and streamflow metrics. The latter included the slope of the basin's flow duration curve and basin dynamic storage. Most basins showed temporal increases in baseflow, consistent with limited evidence of increases and decreases in regional precipitation and snowfall: precipitation ratio, respectively, and recent increases in groundwater recharge along the crest of the ORM. Baseflow trend magnitude was uncorrelated to basin physiographic, hydrogeologic, land use/land cover, or flow duration curve characteristics. However, it was positively related to a basin's dynamic storage, particularly for basins with limited coverage of open water and wetlands. The dynamic storage approach assumes that a basin behaves as a first‐order dynamical system, and extensive open water and wetland areas in a basin may invalidate this assumption. Previous work suggested that smaller dynamic storage was linked to greater damping of temporal variations in water inputs and reduced interannual variability in streamflow regime. Storage and release of water inputs to a basin may assist in mediating baseflow response to temporal changes in regional hydroclimatology and may partly account for inter‐basin differences in that response. Such storage characteristics should be considered when forecasting the impacts of climate change on regional streamflow.     

相邻两井对大地震的不同水力响应模型研究——页岩影响分析

大地震引起了左家庄和宝坻(相距～50km)两井中截然不同的同震水位响应.我们用水位的气压和潮汐响应来分析解释此现象.结果表明,宝坻井的观测含水层中存在页岩,且此井受裂隙影响很大,储水效应较差.页岩的复杂裂隙或者各向异性可能会导致此井观测含水层处于半封闭状态,从而导致垂直向排水的发生.通过多方计算分析后,我们将这两口井划分为两种模型—1.水平流动模型;2.水平流动+垂直流动的混合流动模型.由于裂隙影响,宝坻井的观测含水层介质与外界的水力沟通性在震前就较强(震前渗透率就比较大),所以宝坻井观测含水层与外界的孔隙压差异较小,导致同震渗透率上升较小甚至没有变化,这些因素是导致该井同震水位变化幅度总是非常微小的原因.     

利用接收函数方法研究中国东北东南部地区不同构造体的地壳特征

基于我们布设的探测深俯冲的中国东北地震台阵NECsaids台阵和固定地震台长时段的观测记录及NECESSArray流动台阵共计152个台站数据提取得到的33752条P波接收函数,采用H-κ叠加分析和共转换点（CCP）叠加成像等方法进行统一分析处理,并汇集他人接收函数研究结果得到中国东北东南部地区迄今为止最高分辨率的地壳厚度和平均波速比分布图像.对中国东北东南部地区不同构造体的地壳特征综合分析研究表明：研究区不同陆块的地壳属性存在明显差别,张广才岭地块中南部的地壳厚度和波速比与华北克拉通东北缘相当,地壳厚度同地表地形之间显示有明显的正相关关系;松辽地块东南缘地壳最薄、波速比最高,地壳厚度同壳内波速比之间显示出明显的负相关关系;兴凯地块西部地区的地壳结构表现为稍厚的地壳厚度和研究区内最低的壳内波速比,其地壳厚度同壳内波速比之间亦显示出明显的负相关关系;佳木斯地块西南缘在具有"正常"的壳内波速比同时地壳最厚.研究区内的郯庐断裂带北延段在切穿其下Moho面的同时表现出南北分段的特征：北段（44.4°N—47°N）两分支之下的Moho面整体下凹,而南段（41.5°N—43.3°N）两分支之下的Moho面则整体上隆.长白山天池火山下方表现为Moho面下凹沉落及高壳内波速比特征,推测其壳内岩浆囊很可能存在于火山口东北隅至少10 km的范围内.     

大气散射对采用归一化植被指数进行赤潮遥感监测的影响研究

1　引言近年来赤潮灾害在我国海域频繁发生,对沿海环境、经济和人民生产生活都造成一定的影响,因此对赤潮进行实时监测并业务化运行就显得尤其重要.赤潮遥感监测是目前常用手段之一,在实践中取得了一定的效果,但到目前为止还没有一种成熟的算法能用于业务化监测赤潮的发生.很多研究人员借鉴归一化植被指数(NDVI)阈值法、海表温度(SST)异常等来判断赤潮的发生,但归一化植被指数阈值法经常会出现误判或无法区分正常与异常水体的情况.该阈值范围由先验知识得到,没有定量的理论依据.归一化植被指数是陆地遥感中用以表征地表植物覆盖程度和健…     

厄尔尼诺/拉尼娜信号循环回路及其传播特性研究

基于1992～2001年卫星高度计资料分析了海面高度距平在厄尔尼诺/拉尼娜(El Niño/La Niña)现象中的演变过程,发现:(1)在El Niño过程中,海面高度正距平信号从西太平洋沿赤道海域向东传播至东海岸,然后分成南北两支,北支在10°N附近从东太平洋传回西太平洋的信号最强,到达西太沿岸海域再传回赤道,表明El Niño信号传播在北半球存在一明显循环回路.赤道以南循环圈不及赤道以北环路清晰.东太平洋的季节变化信号主要通过6°N,10°N和8°S附近的3个通道向西太平洋传播.La Niña信号主要从5°N和7°S向西传播;(2)在大洋海盆尺度快速传播信号背景下,存在波长700～800km的慢速传播信号,两类信号将信息在太平洋内传送.传播速度分析表明,慢速传播信号的相速与Rossby波相速相符,而快速传播信号应该是海洋对大气变异的响应.     

M-估计法广义变分同化FY-3B/IRAS通道亮温

采用FY-3B/IRAS亮温资料进行广义变分同化研究。广义变分同化结合了经典变分同化和稳健M-估计两者的优点。区别于经典变分同化依赖于先前的质量控制并要求误差服从高斯分布,把M-估计法耦合到经典变分同化框架中,得到广义变分同化,其弱化了同化前的质量控制和误差服从高斯分布这两个条件。目标能量泛函包含M-估计以保证对离群值具有稳健性,从而能够得到较好的同化结果。对比变分同化前后的FNL资料湿度与GDAS湿度相关系数作为同化结果检验评价。具体操作过程在FNL作为背景场的基础上分别采用经典和M-估计不同的权重因子变分同化FY3B/IRAS资料,把得到的分析场与GDAS进行相关性比较,由于湿度具有较强的非高斯性,文中首先评估了安徽省13个站GPS/PWV和积分相关湿度廓线得到大气可降水量(即GDAS/PWV和FNL/PWV资料)的相关性,进一步基于信息熵自由度思想进行了近一个月IRAS 20个通道对分析场的影响贡献率诊断研究。
