Typological factor analysis: A new classification method applied to geology

The purpose of typological factor analysis is to detect, within a multidimensional sample, the existence of subsets characterized by different maximal elongation directions. The method which has been successfully applied in the field of pattern recognition can be considered from two points of view: (1) an automatic classification or dynamic clustering technique: and (2) a form of factor analysis. Using this form of analysis nuclei of affine varieties (points, axes, planes, etc) are identified. Different case studies were analyzed in order to establish the advantages of the method compared to other methods. Geochemical analyses of rock samples; that is, rhyolites, mafic, and intermediate rocks of the Normetal (Abitibi) area were subjected to typological factor analysis for the purpose of classification of geological deposits and detection of geochemical anomalies. The method was also applied to the classification of sediments from the Barataria Bay area in Louisiana.     

Type I supernovae and iron nucleosynthesis in the universe

It is argued that the iron nucleosynthesis rate in the universe due to SNI outbursts is dependent on the mass function of star formation. Since the mass function depends on the chemical composition and since the masses of SNI precursors have upper limits, the iron nucleosynthesis rate was low at an earlier evolutionary epoch of the universe when mainly massive stars were formed. The iron nucleosynthesis rate should reach a maximum near z ∼ 0.5. At such or similar value of z the well-known ‘step’ in the cosmic γ-ray background spectrum may be explained by the presence of γ-gray quanta accompanying the radioactive⁵⁶Co →⁵⁶Fe decay. An argument is presented against the identification of the hidden mass of the universe with black-hole remnants of ‘type III’ stars.

kSZ from patchy reionization: The view from the simulations

We present the first calculation of the kinetic Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (kSZ) effect due to the inhomogeneus reionization of the universe based on detailed large-scale radiative transfer simulations of reionization. The resulting sky power spectra peak at ℓ = 2000–8000 with maximum values of [ℓ(ℓ + 1)C_ℓ/(2π)]_max  4–7 × 10 ⁻¹³. The scale roughly corresponds to the typical ionized bubble sizes observed in our simulations, of 5–20 Mpc. The kSZ anisotropy signal from reionization dominates the primary CMB signal above ℓ = 3000. At large-scales the patchy kSZ signal depends only on the source efficiencies. It is higher when sources are more efficient at producing ionizing photons, since such sources produce larger ionized regions, on average, than less efficient sources. The introduction of sub-grid gas clumping in the radiative transfer simulations produce significantly more power at small-scales, but has little effect at large-scales. The patchy reionization kSZ signal is dominated by the post-reionization signal from fully-ionized gas, but the two contributions are of similar order at scales ℓ  3000 − 10⁴, indicating that the kSZ anisotropies from reionization are an important component of the total kSZ signal at these scales.

利用Micaps常规资料,对2011年1月2—4日包头地区冬季首次降雪过程进行了分析。结果显示：此次降雪过程是受高空短波槽和地面倒槽共同影响所致,低空有充沛的水汽输送,并与西路小槽引导的冷空气在河套地区交汇;低空河套以东地区有强烈的辐合上升运动,有利于此次降雪天气过程的发生、发展。     

淮北地区2010年4月异常低温气候特征及成因分析

利用1961—2010年NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和4月淮北地区气温资料,用累积距平(CA)法、合成分析法对淮北地区气温的时空分布特征以及2010年4月淮北地区持续冷气候背景进行分析。文章分析了淮北地区4月冷、暖年的大气环流异常及要素场的空间分布特征。结果表明:淮北地区4月气温的年代际变化特征明显,在1990年前后发生了突变。贝加尔湖南部,100°E以东的华北地区中低层的冷空气活动与淮北地区4月气温高低存在很好的相关性,该地中低层冷空气强(弱),淮北地区4月气温低(高)。冷暖年,乌拉尔山暖脊、东亚大槽、西伯利亚高压等差异显著,说明以上是影响淮北地区4月气温异常的关键系统。另据分析,El Nino与淮北地区4月气温异常也具有很好的相关性。

上甸子本底站气溶胶散射系数变化特征的初步分析

根据上甸子大气成分本底站从2004～2006年的连续观测数据,分析了区域大气粒子光散射系数的变化特点,以了解本底地区大气气溶胶粒子的基本特征.卜甸子地区3年数据比较表明,散射系数平均水平较低,但在2006年有所升高,主要表现在受春季沙尘天气的影响,污染次数增多.其次,散射系数日变化规律表现为白大低夜间高,午后出现最低值,此变化与大气层结的日变化趋势一致.从季节变化看,冬季和春季的散射系数相对较低,而夏季和秋季的值较高,这与气象条件及内外源的影响都有关系.天气对粒子变化的影响表现为,晴天无云时的大气状况有利于污染物的重直输送,散射系数远远低于阴天时的数值.另一方面,风向对本底站粒子浓度影响也较明显.来自东北东方向的空气较干净,散射系数值通常较低,而西南西风向通常会引起散射系数值的增大,说明位于西南方向上的北京等城镇的污染输送对上甸子本底站的大气状况有一定影响.最后,通过拟和散射系数小时平均值出现频率曲线,对上甸子地区本底浓度值作了初步估算,其范围在10~20 Mm~(-1).
