Surface temperature forecast skill comparison for the west coast of Saudi Arabia

Given the growing interest of the general public in accessing commercial weather forecasts through various media outlets and the available impetuses for promoting tourism in Saudi Arabia (SA), a first attempt is made to present a forecast skill comparison for surface temperature in four cities (Wejh, Yenbo, Jeddah, and Gizan) along the west coast of SA, for the 61-day transitional period (from January 16 to March 16) between the December-January-February (DJF) and the March-April-May (MAM) seasons. A simple skill score comparison method is used to assess the next-day city forecasts for surface temperature from six commercial weather forecast providers based on the operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) model outputs. All the NWP model forecast providers performed better than the respective daily climatology (Clm) for each station. Depending upon the station and the provider, the absolute average maximum daily surface temperature difference between the forecasts and the observations was less than 2 °C. Daily surface temperature forecasts from two versions of an atmospheric-ocean general circulation model are also compared to assess their performance for these coastal locations.

阿尔泰伟晶岩锂辉石中包裹体研究

本文研究了新疆阿尔泰青河９２号脉、可可托海３号脉和柯鲁木特１１２号脉伟晶岩中锂辉石所含的包裹体，其包裹体类型主要有两类：流体熔融包裹体和液体包裹体。根据显微测温和包裹体性质，求出了包裹体形成时的温度、压力等有关参数。借助激光拉曼探针测定，对流体熔融包裹体成分作了估算。流体熔融包裹体成分研究表明阿尔泰伟晶岩成因与岩浆－热液过渡阶段有密切联系。

High-pressure/low-temperature metamorphism in northern Hubei Province, central China

Abstract The Qinling–Dabie accretionary fold belt in east-central China represents the E–W trending suture zone between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons. A portion of the accretionary complex exposed in northern Hubei Province contains a high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphic sequence progressively metamorphosed from the blueschist through greenschist to epidote–amphibolite/eclogite facies. The 'Hongan metamorphic belt'can be divided into three metamorphic zones, based on progressive changes in mineral assemblages: Zone I, in the south, is characterized by transitional blueschist–greenschist facies; Zone II is characterized by greenschist facies; Zone III, in the northernmost portion of the belt, is characterized by eclogite and epidote–amphibolite facies sequences. Changes in amphibole compositions from south to north as well as the appearance of increasingly higher pressure mineral assemblages toward the north document differences in metamorphic P–T conditions during formation of this belt. Preliminary P–T estimates for Zone I metamorphism are 5–7 kbar, 350–450°C; estimates for Zone III eclogites are 10–22 kbar, 500 ± 50°C.
The petrographic, chemical and structural characteristics of this metamorphic belt indicate its evolution in a northward-dipping subduction zone and subsequent uplift prior to and during the final collision between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons.     

岩浆铜镍矿与钒钛磁铁矿的过渡类型--新疆哈密香山西矿床

铜镍硫化物矿床与钒钛磁铁矿矿床虽然同属与镁铁-超镁铁质岩有关的岩浆型矿床范畴,但在一般情况下,二者是不共生的.新疆东天山地区的香山西矿床则是一个铜镍矿与钛铁矿共生的实例.香山地区为一复式含矿杂岩体,最早期形成辉长岩(如角闪辉长岩、灰白色细粒辉长岩等)为主体的侵入;第二期侵入的是以辉橄岩、单辉橄榄岩、二辉橄榄岩等为主的超镁铁质岩,含铜镍硫化物矿化;第三期则为岩浆期后残余岩浆形成的含钛铁矿化的辉长岩(脉).香山西铜镍-钛铁矿床含矿岩石的碱度、镁铁指数、岩浆酸度、钙碱富集指数等地球化学参数,氧逸度和硫逸度等物理化学参数均介于独立的典型铜镍硫化物和典型钒钛磁铁矿矿床之间.矿床中磁铁矿较其他钒钛磁铁矿矿床(尾亚)具较高的V和Ti含量,同时黄铁矿和黄铜矿具较高的Co、Ni和Cu含量,反映出成矿过程中,Cu-Ni-Co系列与V-Ti-Fe系列的分离不够彻底.形成本区CuNi-VTi复合型矿床的原因,可能在于矿床所处独特的构造环境--产于造山带,而不是克拉通(边缘).

秦岭-黄淮平原交界带土壤物质强淋溶效应分析

在山地迎风坡最大降水高度以下区域,土壤物质的淋溶性具有随高度的降低而逐渐减小的高度分布规律.然而,对沙河-线7个土壤剖面土壤样品的分析结果表明,在秦岭-黄淮平原交界带内,土壤物质的淋溶性具有随着高度的降低而增大的反常现象,我们称之为土壤物质强淋溶效应.与两侧的山地和平原地区相比,在秦岭-黄淮平原交界带海拔高度150～300m之间的区域内,表层土壤的硅铝铁率陡然减小,土壤碱金属和碱土金属氧化物的淋溶率显著增大,硅、钛、锰、磷氧化物的积累率明显增大.此处出现土壤物质强淋溶效应的主要原因是山前"暖坡效应"的存在.较高的气温增大了当地土壤物质的活动性,为其淋溶提供了有利的环境地球化学条件.     

内蒙古赤峰维拉斯托大型锡多金属矿的地质地球化学特征

2014年发现的维拉斯托锡锌矿是继20世纪末该矿区铜锌矿之后的重要找矿进展,已控制Sn金属资源量10万t。成矿作用与隐伏花岗岩体有关,该岩体侵入于前寒武纪变质岩中。矿化类型包括岩体顶部的花岗岩型锡锌矿、岩体外侧的石英脉型锡锌矿以及外围的铜锌矿。针对花岗岩、各类矿体开展了岩石学、矿床学、主微量元素地球化学、年代学等研究,初步查明岩浆演化机制、矿床成因及三类矿化的关系。细粒斑状碱长花岗岩La-ICPMS锆石UPb年龄(139.5±1.2)Ma(MSWD=3.3)。岩石中发育多级斑晶,结晶(沉淀)顺序为钠长石→石英→钾长石→钠长石→石英、黄玉、锡石、闪锌矿。花岗岩富Si O2贫Al2O3、Ti O2、TFe2O3、Ca O等,高Rb、Cs、Nb、Ta及W、Mo、Bi、Cu、Zn、In等元素,低Sr、Ba等,钠长石An0.3,与锡钨多金属矿成矿花岗岩性质相似。岩浆晚期经历了岩浆-热液过渡阶段(浆液过渡态流体),自硅酸盐相中分离出富Si、富F和富S的流体相,分别形成花岗岩型矿石中的石英、黄玉、锡石-闪锌矿囊状体(珠滴),伴随熔融包裹体和熔流包裹体,晚期逐渐、连续地向热液阶段过渡。岩浆-热液过渡阶段在岩体顶部形成花岗岩型锡锌矿石,热液阶段在岩体外侧和外围形成石英脉型锡锌矿及铜锌矿、铅锌银矿。这些矿体连同成矿花岗岩共同构成岩浆-热液型锡多金属矿床成矿系统。锡林郭勒—赤峰地区,很多脉状铅锌银矿的成矿作用与酸性侵入岩有关,深部可能存在大规模岩浆-热液型锡(钨)多金属矿。
