地幔波震级的规范化标定与观测

本文基于瑞利面波的激发和传播理论,导出了零级地震的理论面波谱表达式;并以零级地震为参考地震,以零级地震所相应的面波谱和地震矩作为地幔波震级规范化标定的参照依据,进而提出了测定地幔波震级的新方案。利用CDSN-LPZ信道中的面波资料测定了1987—1990年间全球54次浅源大地震的地幔波震级Mm,并对Okal和Talandier（1989）用GEO-SCOPE-VLPZ及PAS-VLPZ信道中的基阶瑞利波所测1970—1987年间88次地震的结果作了校正。综合这两部分观测结果,得到Mm=1.00 1gM0—12.13,由此测定的地幔波震级与中小地震的面波震级Ms趋势相一致,为解决面波震级饱和问题提供了一种可行的途径。

A STATISTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR TREE‐RING RECONSTRUCTION OF HIGH‐MAGNITUDE MASS MOVEMENTS: CASE STUDY OF SNOW AVALANCHES IN EASTERN CANADA

This paper investigates the application of the peaks‐over‐threshold method in combination with fitting of the generalized Pareto distribution for estimating the frequency of high‐magnitude geomorphic events, on the basis of tree‐ring data. In particular, attention is focused on extreme value distribution of tree‐ring responses and in the minimum threshold or index number required to assure the past occurrence of high‐magnitude events. The objective is to set a threshold, adapted to the sample distribution, which will make the distinction between high‐magnitude years and remaining years, where the response of sampled trees is too weak to be attributed to a high‐magnitude geomorphic event. The statistical framework proposed is based on the statistics of extremes. Through the use of simple, strong and effective mathematics, this model should strengthen the position of dendrogeomorphology in the evaluation and management of natural hazards.     

Interstellar extinction toward the ultradeep Galactic field of the Chandra observatory from 2MASS data

We have measured the interstellar extinction in the region of ultradeep Galactic-field observations by the Chandra telescope (l ^II, b ^II) ≈ 0.1–1.42 using photometric data from the 2MASS infrared allsky survey. The angular resolution of our interstellar extinction map is 1′.8. We show that the interstellar extinction has a minimum, A _V ～ 3.4, near the center of the Chandra field of view and increases to A _V ～ 5.8–6 at the edge of the field of view. In addition, we show that the bulk of the extinction is gained in the Galactic disk and is approximately the same for all bulge stars. Our results will be subsequently used to process the Chandra data and to estimate the properties of the stellar population in this region.

完备震级是评估区域地震台网检测能力的一个定量指标,本文采用能反映区域地震台网检测能力的时空分布细节特征的概率完备震级分析方法,对首都圈地震台网的检测能力进行了研究,通过对首都圈2002-2009共8年的地震目录和台站资料的分析处理,得到了首都圈地震台网的完备震级时空分布,据此对台网的检测能力进行了评估,并结合模拟结果探讨了提升台网检测能力的可能性.结果表明：首都圈地震台网的整体检测能力较强,北京地区的检测能力尤其突出,但部分区域检测能力仍有一定的提升空间;模拟结果表明,在东北、西北、西南等位置增加台站可能有助于进一步提高台网的检测能力.相关研究结果可能对未来首都圈地震台网的优化具有参考意义.     

中国地震台网监测能力评估和台站检测能力评分(2008—2015年)

针对中国地震台网"十五"项目建成后的地震监测能力科学评估的需求,为进一步优化台网布局、提升边疆海域等重点地区监测能力,本研究利用"基于概率的完整性震级"（PMC）方法,对中国地震台网1001个台站以及2008-10-01-2015-09-17期间实际产出的地震观测资料进行了研究,分析了指定震级档下的检测概率PE和最小完整性震级MP的分布.除台网整体监测能力分布外,为直观地用单分值表述逐个台站的地震检测能力,本文发展了基于等振幅曲线的"地震检测能力评分表",给出了国家台和区域台每个台站的地震检测能力评分统计特征和空间分布特征.此外,研究中还采用设定"最佳"地震监测能力目标函数的方式,模拟了通过改进观测条件可获得的地震台网监测能力提升的理论结果.研究结果表明,我国华北和东南沿海等东部地区地震监测能力较高,西部尤其是青藏高原南部地区Mp仅约为4.5,近海海域Mp仅约为3.5;从单个地震台站的运行效益角度,台网运行水平和地震观测资料的分析程度对台站的实际的地震检测能力影响显著,新疆等部分台站稀疏地区地震检测能力较高,而中等台站密度的贵州等部分区域相对较低;国家台的地震检测能力评分Dscore系统优于区域台,新疆等西部边疆地区,以及福建等东南沿海地区的Dscore明显高于台站密集的东部地区;模拟结果显示,在现有台站布局条件下,通过台站优化改造和提升运维管理水平,可显著提升对内蒙古西部、四川西部、甘肃-青海的北部交界地区、鄂尔多斯地块内部、贵州大部分地区,以及我国近海海域、朝鲜半岛北部和中南半岛北部地区的地震监测能力.     

川滇地震科学实验场地震目录最小完整性震级分析

地震目录是地震监测预报、地震活动性等研究的重要资料.川滇地震科学实验场地区近几十年来积累了大量的地震记录,为实验场的地震科学研究提供了宝贵的数据.地震台网密度和仪器观测精度是逐步提高的,不同时期地震目录的完整性存在差异,因此进行现代仪器观测记录的地震目录最小完整性震级（M_C,Magnitude of Completeness）分析,对正确研究和认识该地区地震活动规律及其影响因素等具有重要意义.本文采用震级—序号方法、最大曲率法（MAXC,Maximum Curvature）和拟合度检测法（GFT,Goodness-of-Fit Test）分析了川滇地震科学实验场地区1970—2018年地震目录的最小完整性震级M_C值,得到了实验场地区及其内部各地震区（带）M_C值的时间演化特征和空间分布特征.结果表明,实验场地区及其内部各地震区（带）M_C值变化趋势大致为1970—1986年M_L2.0~2.6,1987—1999年M_L2.5~2.6,2000—2008年后M_L1.4~2.1,2009—2018年M_L1.2~1.9;实验场地区M_C值的空间分布大致呈现东北部和西南部较低、西北部和东南部较高的特征,其中云南最南端的澜沧—耿马区和思普区、四川西北部的理塘—木里区以及川藏交界处的金沙江带M_C值普遍较高,云南北部和四川南部的松潘—龙门山带、安宁河带、元谋区、楚雄—建水带和大理—丽江—盐源区M_C值普遍较低;强震会使M_C值出现突然升高、之后逐渐恢复的现象,其中M_C值升高程度与震级有一定相关性,并且强震导致的M_C值升高是M_C值空间和时间分布不均匀的原因之一.

New stellar and substellar candidate members of the Coma Berenices open star cluster

We present the results of a survey of the open star cluster Melotte 111 in Coma Berenices, undertaken using the USNO‐B1.0 and 2MASS Point Source catalogues. On the basis of their astrometric and photometric properties, we have identified 60 new candidate members with masses in the range 1.007 < M < 0.269 M_⊙. We estimate a membership probability for each by extracting control clusters from the proper motion vector diagram. All 60 are found to have greater than 60 per cent probability of being cluster members, which if they are confirmed as members, more than doubles the number of known cluster members. We also have I and Z photometry for 100 low mass candidate members of the cluster, 13 of which we suggest may be brown dwarfs. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Determination of earthquake early warning parameters, τc and Pd, for southern California

We explore a practical approach to earthquake early warning in southern California by determining a ground-motion period parameter  τ _c   and a high-pass filtered displacement amplitude parameter Pd from the initial 3 s of the P waveforms recorded at the Southern California Seismic Network stations for earthquakes with M > 4.0. At a given site, we estimate the magnitude of an event from  τ _c   and the peak ground-motion velocity ( PGV ) from Pd . The incoming three-component signals are recursively converted to ground acceleration, velocity and displacement. The displacements are recursively filtered with a one-way Butterworth high-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 0.075 Hz, and a P -wave trigger is constantly monitored. When a trigger occurs,  τ _c   and Pd are computed. We found the relationship between  τ _c   and magnitude ( M ) for southern California, and between Pd and PGV for both southern California and Taiwan. These two relationships can be used to detect the occurrence of a major earthquake and provide onsite warning in the area around the station where onset of strong ground motion is expected within seconds after the arrival of the P wave. When the station density is high, the methods can be applied to multistation data to increase the robustness of onsite early warning and to add the regional warning approach. In an ideal situation, such warnings would be available within 10 s of the origin time of a large earthquake whose subsequent ground motion may last for tens of seconds.
