Also included are the experiment-based relationship among sediment concentration, bed shear stress and silt carrying capacity, a proposed erosion-deposition function and bed erosion-deposition calculation together with the results of verification.     

南极地区地磁扰日变化S_D场特征

利用南极地磁资料研究了地磁扰日变化ＳＤ场特征。１）ＳＤ场变化不如Ｓｑ场变化规则,无明显的昼夜差异;太阳活动高年（１９９１年）比下降年（１９９４年）ＳＤ场变化更强烈。２）极隙区中山站ＳＤ场变幅比亚极光区长城站和北半球低纬区北京台的ＳＤ场变幅大１０倍以上。３）中山站Ｓ０Ｄ（Ｈ）变化呈“正弦波”形态,与长城站和北京台Ｓ０Ｄ（Ｈ）变化形态相反。４）中山站Ｓ０Ｄ等效电流矢量在早晨－下午（０２～１５ｈ）矢量方向为反时针西向,下午－夜间（１５～０２ｈ）矢量方向为顺时针东向,这是由极区东向、西向电射流和极区电流涡旋所引起;长城站与北京台Ｓ０Ｄ等效电流矢量很小,这是由极区东向和西向电射流的影响所致。     

在耀斑-日球电流片坐标系中——研究耀斑-激波相应地磁扰动的分布特征（Ⅱ）

本文采用一种新的坐标系--耀斑-日球电流片坐标系,对1966-1982年间由耀斑-激波所引起的277个耀斑-地磁扰动事件进行了分析.初步结果是:1.耀斑-地磁扰动事件在该坐标系中相对日球电流片的随机分布呈高斯分布,极大值在电流片附近;2.当地球和耀斑位于日球电流片同侧时,地磁扰动事件频次远高于异侧;3.地磁扰动强弱在该坐标系中的分布,亦呈现了同侧高于异侧,且极大值多在日球电流片附近;4.耀斑-激波能流密度ρ₂V₂³及其跃变量ρ₂V₂³-ρ₁V₁³在该坐标系中具有十分类似于相应磁扰水平的分布,其离散程度后者略大于前者. 根据本文的结果可以看出,对耀斑-地磁扰动研究来说,近太阳日球电流片的存在是一个重要的特征面,它对耀斑-地磁扰动的产生和强弱水平有重要影响,使太阳耀斑活动与地磁活动效应之间的对应关系变得复杂化了.     

对西北太平洋海域表层密度流的初步探索

在文［９］［１０］关于西北太平洋海面动力地形研究的基础上,本文对该海域表层密度流进行了初步探索。特别是用０．５°×０．５°方区多年船测资料,对西部边界流——黑潮进行了专门研究。结果表明,该海域表面密度流模式与主要由风驱动的大洋总的环流模式基本一致。据研究结果,对文［９］给出的海面动力地形和全球海面动力地形的某些特征作出了解释。另外,还就卫星测高在确定大洋环流的局限性和若干概念性问题提出了明确的看法。     

Study of the longitudinal expansion velocity of the substorm current wedge

In this work we examine simultaneous observations from the two geosynchronous satellites GOES-5 and GOES-6 located at 282°E and 265°E respectively, and from middle and low latitude ground observatories located within 250°E and 294°E geographic longitude, during isolated substorms of moderate activity. The spatial distribution of our observation points allows us to make a detailed study of the azimuthal expansion of the substorm current wedge. The data analysis shows evidence that the substorm initiation and development mechanism include the cross-tail current diversion/disruption, the substorm current wedge formation and the azimuthal expansion of the inner plasma sheet. The triggering mechanism is initially confined in a longitudinally narrow sector, estimated to be less than 15° and located very close to local midnight to the east or to the west. The current disruption region expands both eastward and westward in the magnetotail, so that the location of major field-aligned currents flowing into the ionosphere shifts successively eastward, and the location of the currents flowing out of the ionosphere shifts successively westward. Evidence was found that the perturbation travels toward the west with velocities greater than those expanding the wedge eastward. The drastic decrease of the velocity with the azimuthal distance from the location of the disturbance initiation, i.e., the onset sector, indicates that the energy release is a very localized phenomenon. Finally, the transient D perturbation observed by the geosynchronous satellites suggests that the field-aligned currents forming the wedge have a longitudunally limited extent.

Bottom-current deposits in the Miocene–Pliocene Misaki Formation, Izu forearc area, Japan

Sedimentary structures in the middle–late Miocene to early Pliocene Misaki Formation, Miura Group, Miura Peninsula, Central Japan, were studied, and paleocurrent data were interpreted as the result of deep-sea bottom-current flow. These current data were further compared with present-day bottom currents in the northwestern Pacific region. The Misaki Formation is thought to be a forearc deposit within the Izu oceanic arc, and is composed of thick volcaniclastic beds interbedded with siliceous biogenic clayey sediments. Sedimentary structures showing paleocurrent directions are involved in the upper part of the volcaniclastic beds, in the pumiceous beds just above the volcaniclastic beds, and in the pelagic sediments. Based on paleomagnetic data suggesting considerable rotation of the beds, all the current directions were reconstructed to their original orientation. The paleocurrents are summarized into the following three groups. The first group in the volcaniclastic beds indicates southeast-directed paleocurrent directions. The second group in the upper parts of volcaniclastic beds and in some pumiceous beds exhibits a southwest- and northeast-directed paleoflow. The third group usually observed in the pumiceous beds with parallel lamination displays a northwest- or southeast-directed paleocurrent. The origin of each group's paleoflow direction is attributed to turbidity current, internal tidal current, and contour current influences, respectively. Present-day observations of the deep-sea northwest Pacific suggest that most of the bottom-current indicators in the Misaki Formation are related to North Pacific Deep Water, possibly Antarctic Bottom Water as well as a combination of tidal and local effects. It is concluded that the beds of the Misaki Formation were deposited in the proto-Sagami basin ca 9 Ma and were formed under weak bottom currents in a wide and flat basin during colder climatic conditions, whereas the beds dated at ca 6 Ma were deposited under strong bottom-current flow, and were then accreted to the Honshu arc.     

对计算土壤和岩石中氡浓度及其表面析出率表面边界条件的讨论

本文对求解土壤或岩石中氡浓度及其表面析出率的边界条件进行了探讨。以空气中无穷远处氡浓度为零（空气中无氡源）的自然边界条件代替空气与土壤或岩石交界面氡浓度为零的边界条件,给出了土壤和岩石中氡浓度及其表面析出率的具体表达式。与前人研究结果比较,该式中增加了一项,表面氡析出率缩小了一个倍数。通过对土壤、岩石的具体计算．表明两种边界条件的计算结果有相当的偏差。同时,文中还讨论了在两类边界条件下对流对土壤或岩石中氡浓度及其表面析出率计算的影响。
