Subgrid-Scale Dynamics of Water Vapour, Heat, and Momentum over a Lake

We examine the dynamics of turbulence subgrid (or sub-filter) scales over a lake surface and the implications for large-eddy simulations (LES) of the atmospheric boundary layer. The analysis is based on measurements obtained during the Lake-Atmosphere Turbulent EXchange (LATEX) field campaign (August–October, 2006) over Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Wind velocity, temperature and humidity profiles were measured at 20 Hz using a vertical array of four sonic anemometers and open-path gas analyzers. The results indicate that the observed subgrid-scale statistics are very similar to those observed over land surfaces, suggesting that the effect of the lake waves on surface-layer turbulence during LATEX is small. The measurements allowed, for the first time, the study of subgrid-scale turbulent transport of water vapour, which is found to be well correlated with the transport of heat, suggesting that the subgrid-scale modelling of the two scalars may be coupled to save computational resources during LES.     

Continuous Measurement of Number Concentrations and Elemental Composition of Aerosol Particles for a Dust Storm Event in Beijing

A continuous measurement of number size distributions and chemical composition of aerosol particles was conducted in Beijing in a dust storm event during 21-26 March 2001. The number concentration of coarse particles （ 〉2μm） increased more significantly than fine particles （ 〈2μm） during the dust storm due to dust weather, while the anthropogenic aerosols collected during the non-dust-storm period tended to be associated with fine particles. Elemental compositions were analyzed by using proton-induced X-ray emission （PIXE）. The results show that 20 elements in the dust storm were much higher than in the non-dust-storm period. The calculated soil dust concentration during the dust storm was, on average, 251.8μg m^-3, while it was only 52.1μg m^-3 on non-dust-storm days. The enrichment factors for Mg, A1, P, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, C1, Cu, Pb, and Zn show small variations between the dust storm and the non-dust-storm period, while those for Ca, Ni and Cr in the dust storm were much lower than those in the non-dust-storm period due to significant local emission sources. A high concentration and enrichment factor for S were observed during the dust storm, which implies that the dust particles were contaminated by aerosol particles from anthropogenic emissions during the long-range transport. A statistical analysis shows that the elemental composition of particles collected during the dust storm in Beijing were better correlated with those of desert soil colleted from desert regions in Inner Mongolia. Air mass back-trajectory analysis further confirmed that this dust storm event could be identified as streaks of dust plumes originating from Inner Mongolia.     

A depth average SPH model including μ(I) rheology and crushing for rock avalanches

Classical depth-integrated smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) models for avalanches are extended in the present work to include a μ(I)− rheological model enriched with a fragmentation law. With this improvement, the basal friction becomes grain distribution dependent. Rock avalanches, where grain distribution tends to change with time while propagating, are the appropriate type of landslide to apply the new numerical proposal. The μ(I)− rheological models considered in the present work are those of Hatano and Gray, combined with two different fragmentation laws, a hyperbolic and a fractal-based law. As an application, Frank avalanche, which took place in Canada in 1903, is analyzed under the scope of the present approach, focusing in the influence of the rheological and fragmentation laws in the evolution of the avalanche.

Including Geological Uncertainty and Economic Analysis in a Rapid Simulation of Hydrocarbon Exploration

Manly's approximation method has been applied to hydrocarbon discovery process modeling in order to approximate the expected value and the standard deviation of the total discovery volume for a given exploratory effort. A major benefit of this method is that it allows the model to run much faster than the regular simulation method, yet it gives accurate results. This paper extends the benefit of Manly's approach by allowing the approximation method to incorporate the uncertainties in geological parameters that drive Manly's approximation, in order to provide an approximation of the complete distribution of total discovery volume that can result from exploration activity. In addition, it allows the model to include economic parameters into an evaluation of the economic worth of the results of exploration activity, producing distributions of net present value within a short period of time. The offshore Nova Scotia Shelf Basin is selected for demonstrating the methodology.     

太平洋和南极普里兹湾及其邻近海域中微生物量的分布特征

研究了太平洋和南极普里兹湾及其邻近海域细菌数量分布特征,并就其与诸环境因素的影响进行了讨论．结果表明,所调查的太平洋和南极普里兹湾及其邻近海域的细菌数量分布大都处于107～108个／dm3范围之内,发现太平洋中部的细菌数量分布高于其东部和西部,这主要与中部海域合有丰富的生物营养物质有关．由于受到水动力的影响,太平洋某些站位水层（0～50m,500～700m）中出现高细菌量值．发现南极普里兹湾及其邻近海域向外延伸的某些断面的细菌数量有逐渐递增趋势．     

香河地区亚微米气溶胶粒子尺度谱分布特征

为了解香河地区气溶胶尺度谱的基本特征,自2012年5月起,利用扫描电迁移率粒径谱仪(SMPS)对河北香河地区的亚微米(13.8~723.4 nm)气溶胶尺度谱分布进行了近2 a的测量。基于该数据集,分析了气溶胶尺度谱的季节变化和日变化特征及气象要素对气溶胶浓度的影响。结果发现,观测期间埃根核模态(20.0~100.0 nm)、积聚模态(100.0~723.4 nm),以及总的气溶胶数浓度、表面积浓度和体积浓度均值分别为7.0×103cm~(-3)、7.5×103cm~(-3)、14.9×103cm~(-3)、1125μm2·cm~(-3)和50μm~3·cm~(-3)。香河地区积聚模态的粒子数浓度接近华北地区其他污染测站的结果,但高于发达国家的测值。冬季气溶胶的平均浓度最高(18.1×10~3cm~(-3)),而春季最低(12.3×10~3cm~(-3))。不同季节,气溶胶的数谱分布主要为单峰分布,平均峰值直径约为105 nm。气溶胶浓度的日变化受机动车排放的影响显著,存在早晚两个高值中心,分别出现在早上的06:00—09:00和晚上的19:00—21:00。风速、风向对气溶胶数浓度的影响较大,低风速(2 m/s)和南风条件,尤其是吹西南风时,气溶胶浓度的增加显著。
