Circulation and water masses of the Arabian Sea

The dynamics and thermodynamics of the surface layer of the Arabian Sea, north of about 10N, are dominated by the monsoon-related annual cycle of air-sea fluxes of momentum and heat. The currents in open-sea regime of this layer can be largely accounted for by Ekman drift and the thermal field is dominated by local heat fluxes. The geostrophic currents in open-sea subsurface regime also show a seasonal cycle and there is some evidence that signatures of this cycle appear as deep as 1000 m. The forcing due to Ekman suction is an important mechanism for the geostrophic currents in the central and western parts of the Sea. Recent studies suggest that the eastern part is strongly influenced by the Rossby waves radiated by the Kelvin waves propagating along the west coast of India. The circulation in the coastal region off Oman is driven mainly by local winds and there is no remotely driven western boundary current. Local wind-driving is also important to the coastal circulation off western India during the southwest monsoon but not during the northeast monsoon when a strong (approximately 7 × 10⁶m³/sec) current moves poleward against weak winds. This current is driven by a pressure gradient which forms along this coast during the northeast monsoon due to either thermohaline-forcing or due to the arrival of Kelvin waves from the Bay of Bengal. The present speculation about flow of bottom water (deeper than about 3500 m) in the Arabian Sea is that it moves northward and upwells into the layer of North Indian Deep Water (approximately 1500–3500m). It is further speculated that the flow in this layer consists of a poleward western boundary current and a weak equatorward flow in the interior. It is not known if there is an annual cycle associated with the deep and the bottom water circulation.     

Storm surge mitigation through vegetation canopies

The paper of Reid and Whitaker (1976) on the effects of a vegetation canopy on flow of water is re-examined. Their assumptions on the equality of various drag coefficients are replaced by more realistic calculations. A new method for calculating wind stress on water is presented for the case when the vegetation extends above the water surface.For the case of vanishingly small water depth, it is shown that the horizontal stress is approximately constant in the vertical. This results in a diagnostic relationship for the water current as a function of the wind stress and bottom roughness.A new expression for the vertically averaged frictional force per unit mass is derived on the assumption that the friction velocity varies linearly with height. The vertical rate of change of friction velocity depends on the mean water current, the wind stress, the bottom roughness, and the water depth. This work has a possible application in the mitigation of storm surges.     

中国沿海城市的气块后向轨迹分析

该文讨论了大连、青岛、上海、福州、厦门和广州６个沿海城市的气块长距离后向输送轨迹。输送层假设在１５００ｍ上，计算了１９８５年１、４、７、１０月份的轨迹，轨迹分析得出：（１）气块后向轨迹与天气形势和季节有关，且南北方有差异；（２）北方沿海城市的７２小时气块后向轨迹输送距离要比南方沿海城市远些。

1966年云南东川6.5级地震的热异常时空结构分析

本文分析了１９６６年云南东川６．５级地震前后浅层地温异常的时空结构及降水异常的水平结构。分析表明，震前数月浅层地温稳定维持正异常，发震前一个月激剧增温，发震当月达最大，震后降低；震前震中区为负地温距平区，随发震时刻临近，负距平区迅速演变为正距平区，而且强度和面积都不断增大，至发震时达最大，震后不断减小；热异常是从深层传向地表的；震中区震前为旱区，震后为涝区。本文还讨论了震源处热信息传到地表的条件和可能机制，认为在水热活动异常的断裂带上，至少对于浅源地震，对流传热是一种较为可能的传热机制。     

黑水─泉州地学断面的重磁解释

讨论华南黑水─泉州地学断面的重磁解释。在解释中除应用常规的２．５维重磁异常反演外，还采用等密度线算法构制梯度层密度模型，用于分辨地壳密度细结构，以及计算自由地幔而深度用于分析上地幔密度的横向不均匀性。重磁模拟结果揭示了１０ｋｍ深度内的上地壳构造以及地壳与上地幔密度的分布。提出华南造山带以低密度上地幔为特征，它可能与上地幔的改造有关；四川盆地具有较高的上地幔密度，为未经改造的原始地幔。扬子克拉通与华南造山带的分界线与上地幔密度的分界线一致。根据布格异常、地表岩石密度和地形资料的综合分析，圈定出反映内生成矿作用深部标志的密度倒转区，可作为进一步找矿的远景区。

磁层系统的能量输入、输出与日地耦合

用１９７８年和１９８２年３６个磁暴期间的太阳风、行星际磁场（ＩＭＦ）和地磁资料，分析和检验已有的两类太阳风－磁层能量耦合函数．结果表明：Ａｋａｓｏｆｕ提出的耦合函数ε能大致地预报亚暴和磁暴的发生。ε开始起重要作用时即出现亚暴；电离层能耗达到饱和值是发生磁暴的标志。ε与磁层体系能耗之间有接近于对数量的线性关系．用１９７８－１９８６年的资料，分析环电流和极光区电离层能耗在１２１个太阳自转周内的分布表明，日面上可能存在相对持久的活动区域

造盆作用及成矿盆地的历史──动力综合分类

关于盆地的分类，不少学者提出过有意义的方案。它们主要是从某个单一角度进行：或者是从历史角度分析，或者是从动力角度分析，为了更较全面地认识它们，以求得更有效地指导找矿勘探，作者把两种分析方法结合起来，提出一个综合分类方案。按历史－动力综合分类，造盆作用及盆地可划分为三大类：大洋壳型、雏陆壳（过渡壳）型及大陆壳型。大洋壳型中可细分为活动区型（主要为拉张式）和稳定区型。雏陆壳型包括前地槽型（其中可分出多种活动区型及稳定区型，有待详究；活动区型中拉张式多见）及地槽前期型（主为拉张式）．大陆壳型中计有地槽后期（褶皱带）型（挤压式或拉张式）、地台型（主为陷落式，偶为张陷式－－断拉谷Ｑｕｌａｃｏｇｅｎ）和地洼型（挤压式、拉张式或压张式）。
