基于北极黄河站观测的日侧极光研究新进展

回顾了基于中国黄河站全天空极光观测对日侧弥散极光与喉区极光研究的最新进展。首先,利用黄河站极光观测,对日侧弥散极光展开系统性分类与统计研究,对这一重要空间物理现象取得新认识,指出日侧弥散极光对研究日侧外磁层冷等离子体的分布、形成及磁鞘粒子进入磁层都具有重要启示作用;同时发现并定义了一种新型分立极光结构——喉区极光,并推断其可能对应磁层顶的局地变形。喉区极光是指发生在电离层对流喉区附近、从极光卵赤道侧向低纬方向延伸出来的分立极光结构。全天空极光观测表明喉区极光走向大致与电离层对流方向一致。之后,观测验证了喉区极光对应磁层顶局地内陷式变形的推测;统计发现喉区极光是一种非常高发的现象,对应的磁层顶变形尺度可达2—3 Re,并指出这种变形最可能由磁鞘高速流冲击磁层顶产生;发现在喉区极光产生过程中还可能触发磁重联;证实伴随喉区极光的产生,磁鞘粒子会进入磁层并诱发产生一种新型弥散极光。通过喉区极光研究,可以将已有的磁鞘瞬态过程研究和触发式磁重联研究有机地结合在一起,对太阳风-磁层耦合过程形成一种新的认识,即:在磁鞘中局地产生(而不是存在于太阳风中)的瞬态过程可以在日下点附近频繁地导致磁层顶局地变形、触发重联、引发系列地球空间效应,可能对太阳风-磁层耦合具有不可忽略的重要性。以此为基础,讨论了日侧极光研究引出的新课题。     

一次华南超级单体风暴的S波段偏振雷达观测分析

利用珠海与澳门共建的中国首部S波段业务双偏振雷达探测资料、风廓线资料和地面加密观测资料,对2015年4月20日发生在珠海附近的一次典型华南春季冷锋触发的超级单体风暴的偏振观测特征进行了分析。天气分析表明,风暴发生于地面冷锋和低空切变线附近,中等对流不稳定（对流有效位能为1300 J/kg）和较强风垂直切变（0-6 km风矢量差为20 m/s）环境中。环境总理查逊数为18,与中纬度典型超级单体的生成环境接近,风暴相对螺旋度为2.9 s-1。偏振观测分析表明,大雹粒子的翻滚使冰雹区具有水平反射率因子高（>50 dBz）、差分反射率低（-1-0.5 dB）的特点;雨和冰相粒子的混合导致了相关系数的下降（小于0.9）;比差分相位观测对冰雹并不敏感（比差分相位与水平反射率因子的线性拟合率仅为0.05）。在混合相粒子和液相粒子的共同作用下,融化层附近存在差分反射率增大、相关系数减小的现象。风暴侧前方下沉气流偏东侧边界（水平反射率因子梯度高值区）存在一条“差分反射率弧”（差分反射率高值区）,主要由大雨滴构成,粒子分选机制合理解释了其形成原因。同时,相对较大的环境风使差分反射率弧更加远离（相对北美观测事实）风暴主体。风暴水平反射率因子中心附近存在“差分反射率柱”,与大雨滴被上升气流（连续分布的正径向风）带入高层冻结且失去取向稳定而导致差分反射率值迅速减小有关。

Tectonic Evolution of the Lufilian Arc (Central Africa Copper Belt) During Neoproterozoic Pan African Orogenesis

The Lufilian arc of Central Africa (also called Katangan belt or Copperbelt) is a zone of low to highgrade metasedimentary (and subsidiary igneous) rocks of Neoproterozoic age hosting highgrade CuCoU and PbZn mineralizations. The Lufilian arc is located between the Congo and Kalahari cratons and defines a structure which is convex to the north. Three major phases of deformation characterize the construction of the Lufilian arc. The first phase (D1) called the “Kolwezian phase” developed folds and thrust sheets with a northward transport direction. D1 deformation occurred in the Lufilian arc between ca. 800 and 710 Ma, with a peak in the range 790–750 Ma. It is here correlated with the main deformation in the Zambezi belt. Southward-verging folds with the same trends as the D₁ structures were previously linked to a second tectonic event named Kundelunguian phase of the Lufilian orogeny. We show in this paper that they are backfolds developed during D1 along Katangan ramps and especially along the Kibaran foreland. The second phase (D2) of the Lufilian orogeny is the “Monwezi phase” including several large leftlateral strikeslip faults which have been activated successively. During this deformation phase, the eastern block of the belt rotated clockwise, giving the present day NWSE trend of D1 structures in this part of the Lufilian arc, and generating its convex geometry. The Mwembeshi dislocation, the major transcurrent shear zone separating the Zambezi and Lufilian arc, was mostly active during the D2 deformation phase. D2 deformation occurred between ca. 690 and 540 Ma. Such a long time interval is attributed to the migration of strikeslip faults developed sequentially from south to north, and probably to a slow convergence velocity during the collision between the Congo and Kalahari cratons. The third phase (D3) of the Lufilian orogeny is a late event called the “Chilatembo phase”, marked by structures transverse to the trends of the Lufilian arc. This deformation and the post-D_2′ uppermost Kundelungu sequence (Ks3 Plateaux Group), are younger than 540 Ma and probably early Paleozoic.     

文莱-沙巴盆地深水褶皱冲断带构造变形特征及成因机制

为揭示活动陆缘深水褶皱冲断带的特征及成因,本文利用地震和区域地质资料的综合分析,系统阐述了文莱—沙巴盆地深水褶皱冲断带的构造变形特征,并结合盆地演化动力学特点,探讨其构造变形机制及其对深水区油气成藏的影响.研究结果表明,文莱—沙巴盆地深水褶皱冲断带具有"垂向分期、平面分段"的特点,垂向上,以中中新统底界面为界可划分为下部（始新世-早中新世）和上部（中中新世-现今）两套逆冲褶皱冲断体系,其中下部逆冲褶皱冲断带的形成与古南海的俯冲作用密切相关,上部逆冲褶皱冲断带是中中新世以来三角洲前缘重力滑动与苏禄海扩张造成的区域挤压应力远程效应共同作用的结果,且苏禄海扩张造成的远程挤压效应主控平面上南北段褶皱冲断带变形的差异性,导致北段褶皱变形强度大于南段,具有背斜褶皱数量多、褶皱间距离短、逆冲断层倾角陡的特点,南段反之;且晚上新世以来北段深水区地层缩短量大于陆架区伸展量,两者之差为2~6 km,而南段两者相当,仅受三角洲前缘重力滑动影响.整个褶皱冲断带发育断弯、断展、断滑褶皱等3种断层相关褶皱以及叠瓦扇和冲起构造2种逆冲构造组合,是多期NW向挤压应力作用下形成的大型逆冲推覆构造,以前展式向盆地扩展.此外,由于中中新世以来逆冲断层的持续活动,研究区深水褶皱冲断带发育众多构造圈闭,油气成藏条件优越,且南段优于北段,靠近陆坡的近端优于远端,可作为勘探部署重点.     

Robust dual‐sensor data sea‐surface ghost attenuation for quality control purposes

Three‐dimensional receiver ghost attenuation (deghosting) of dual‐sensor towed‐streamer data is straightforward, in principle. In its simplest form, it requires applying a three‐dimensional frequency–wavenumber filter to the vertical component of the particle motion data to correct for the amplitude reduction on the vertical component of non‐normal incidence plane waves before combining with the pressure data. More elaborate techniques use three‐dimensional filters to both components before summation, for example, for ghost wavelet dephasing and mitigation of noise of different strengths on the individual components in optimum deghosting. The problem with all these techniques is, of course, that it is usually impossible to transform the data into the crossline wavenumber domain because of aliasing. Hence, usually, a two‐dimensional version of deghosting is applied to the data in the frequency–inline wavenumber domain. We investigate going down the “dimensionality ladder” one more step to a one‐dimensional weighted summation of the records of the collocated sensors to create an approximate deghosting procedure. We specifically consider amplitude‐balancing weights computed via a standard automatic gain control before summation, reminiscent of a diversity stack of the dual‐sensor recordings. This technique is independent of the actual streamer depth and insensitive to variations in the sea‐surface reflection coefficient. The automatic gain control weights serve two purposes: (i) to approximately correct for the geometric amplitude loss of the Z data and (ii) to mitigate noise strength variations on the two components. Here, Z denotes the vertical component of the velocity of particle motion scaled by the seismic impedance of the near‐sensor water volume. The weights are time‐varying and can also be made frequency‐band dependent, adapting better to frequency variations of the noise. The investigated process is a very robust, almost fully hands‐off, approximate three‐dimensional deghosting step for dual‐sensor data, requiring no spatial filtering and no explicit estimates of noise power. We argue that this technique performs well in terms of ghost attenuation (albeit, not exact ghost removal) and balancing the signal‐to‐noise ratio in the output data. For instances where full three‐dimensional receiver deghosting is the final product, the proposed technique is appropriate for efficient quality control of the data acquired and in aiding the parameterisation of the subsequent deghosting processing.     

Effect of thickness of planar nozzles on erosion depth of levee soils subjected to plunging water

In this study, the effect of the thickness of a planar jet on the erosion depth when the jet impinges on a surface composed of cohesive soil was analytically and numerically evaluated. The results showed that the erosion depth was practically independent of the nozzle thickness for erosion depths shallower than the potential core length (i.e. the region of the jet in which the central flow velocity is the same as the nozzle velocity). The relation between nozzle thickness and erosion depth was non-linear with continuously variable slope for erosion depths deeper than the potential core length. Finally, the relation was approximately linear when the erosion depth converged to the equilibrium erosion depth. The findings of this study indicate that direct and fast prediction of the erosion depth in the field is possible using the data from a small scale soil erosion test with similar flow velocities.     

基于最大球算法定量表征土体空间孔隙网络

孔隙网络控制着土体渗流、排水固结与基质吸力等重要工程性质。本文介绍了多孔介质孔隙网络最大球建模基本原理与算法。以显微CT扫描振捣干法生成的南京粉砂试样为例,采用最大球算法建立了试样三维重构模型表征单元体(REV)的空间孔隙网络球棍模型,计算得到了样品REV尺度的孔隙网络参数,统计发现,孔隙半径、喉道半径、孔隙配位数、孔隙截面形状因子、喉道截面形状因子与喉道长度等孔隙参数均近似服从正态分布,孔隙体积近似服从衰减型指数分布。孔隙与喉道半径分别分布在100μm与65μm以内,两者数学期望分别为40. 0μm与18. 0μm;配位数分布在25以内,数学期望为5. 1;孔隙与喉道截面形状因子分别分布在0. 01~0. 04与0. 01~0. 05的区间内,两者数学期望分别为0. 019与0. 033;喉道长度分布在100~800μm以内,数学期望为292. 22μm。同时发现,样品中体积小于1. 5×10^7μm^3的小孔隙数量超过90%。本方法可应用于土体细观孔隙结构的定量表征。     

2020年1月19日新疆伽师MS6.4地震InSAR同震形变场特征及发震构造初步探讨

基于Sentinel-1 SAR升、降影像,利用D-InSAR技术获取新疆伽师M S6.4地震的同震形变场,结果表明,本次地震引起的同震形变场整体呈近椭圆状分布,形变区东西长约66 km,南北宽约40 km,整个形变场由南部隆升区和北部沉降区组成,南部最大隆升量约7 cm,北部最大沉降量约3 cm。本次地震发生在块体俯冲界面处的低倾角逆冲推覆构造带上,隆升和沉降两个中心均位于逆冲推覆体的上盘,形变主要以隆升形变为主,符合低倾角逆断层中强震的变形特征。在沉降区与隆升区之间干涉条纹连续分布,未出现表征地表破裂位置的空间失相关带,表明地震未引起明显的地表破裂。结合震源机制、余震精定位及区域构造特征,初步推断认为伽师地震的发震构造可能为柯坪塔格推覆构造前缘的N倾的柯坪断裂。     

青藏高原东南缘地貌边界性质的界定及其对高原东南缘扩展模式的启示

青藏高原东南部的地貌结构是高原隆升深部动力过程与高原扩展的重要指标之一,存在受下地壳流驱动的渐变模型和受宽约50～200km的雅砻-玉龙断裂系控制的陡变模型2种不同认识。文中基于30m分辨率的SRTM数据进行数字高程分析,利用高程和水系参数对研究区地貌加以提取和分析,结合野外地貌和构造调研的结果以及前人的相关研究,对高原东南缘川滇地块中部构造地貌细结构进行了详细的解析。研究认为,青藏高原东南边界具有明显的台阶式构造地貌结构,不同台阶梯度带受不同时期发育的NE-SW向断裂控制。其中一级边界位于木里-玉龙断裂,控制了平均海拔4 200m的高原面的东南边界,是渐新世—中新世早期构造抬升的结果;二级边界受中新世中期逆冲活动的金河-箐河断裂控制,其构成丽江—盐源一带海拔中等(约3 000m)、相对低起伏区域的东南边界。高原东南边界的台阶式构造地貌结构反映了高原向SE的前展式逆冲扩展。这种扩展模式并不支持下地壳管道流连续变形模型。
