The climate background and synoptic situation of fog at Great Wall Station, Antarctica

Based on the observed and NCEP reanalysis data from 1985 to 2006,the climate background and synoptic situation of fog at Great Wall Station were analyzed. It is shown that the seasonal variation of fog is controlled by the change of general circulation and local pressure field. Three favorable typical synoptic situations for fog development are found, the Front-of-A-Depression type, the Saddle-Shaped-Field type and the Passing-Weak-Cyclone type. The first one is the most important situation. Advection cooling fog is dominant at Great Wall Station, but there are other kinds of fog as well. As a result, some helpful principles for local fog forecasting are given.

Sensitivity of sea ice and ocean simulations to sea ice salinity in a coupled global climate model

The impacts of the spatiotemporal variations of sea ice salinity on sea ice and ocean characteristics have not been studied in detail, as the existing climate models neglect or misrepresent this process. To address this issue, this paper formulated a parameterization with more realistic sea ice salinity budget, and examined the sensitivity of sea ice and ocean simulations to the ice salinity variations and associated salt flux into the ocean using a coupled global climate model. Results show that the inclus...     

Atmospheric and Surface Water Pollution Interpretation in the Gdańsk Beltway Impact Range by the Use of Multivariate Analysis

The present study deals with the application of the hierarchical cluster analysis and non‐parametric tests in order to interpret the Gdańsk Beltway impact range. The data set represents concentration values for major inorganic ions (Na⁺, NH, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, F⁻, Cl⁻, NO, and SO) as well as electrolytic conductivity and pH measured in various water samples [precipitation, throughfall water, road runoff, and surface water (drainage ditches, surface water reservoirs, and spring water)] collected in the vicinity of the beltway. Several similarity groups were discovered both in the objects and in the variables modes according to the water sample. In the majority of cases clear anthropogenic (fertilizers usage and transport, road salting in winter) and semi‐natural (sea salt aerosols, erosion of construction materials) impacts were discovered. Spatial variation was discovered for road runoff samples and samples collected from surface water reservoirs and springs. Surprisingly no clear seasonal variability was discovered for precipitation chemistry, while some evidences for existing of summer and winter specific chemical profile was discovered for road runoff samples. In general, limited range of the Gdańsk Beltway impact was proven.     

The Godzilla Megamullion,the largest oceanic core complex on the earth: a historical review

The Godzilla Megamullion is the largest known oceanic core complex (OCC) on the Earth, located in the Parece Vela Basin in the Philippine Sea. In this article, the history of Godzilla Megamullion study is reviewed for the first time, dividing it into three major phases: (i) the early studies done before Japan's extended continental shelf survey program; (ii) the studies during Japan's extended continental shelf survey program that discovered the OCC; and (iii) the studies by the post‐discovery cruises. The early studies included an interpretation of US nautical chart of the southwestern Pacific and the site surveys for Deep Sea Drilling Project cruises (DSDP Legs 6, 31 and 59). The early studies recognized the presence of the Parece Vela Rift, the extinct spreading axis of the Parece Vela Basin, and established the currently accepted model that the Philippine Sea evolved with eastward progression of backarc spreading and arc migration. The modern understanding of the Parece Vela Basin comes from Japan's extended continental shelf survey program. The program revealed the ultramafic petrology as well as a two‐stage evolution model of the basin. Following these results, the discovery of the Godzilla Megamullion was made in 2001. The studies by the post‐discovery cruises further revealed important characteristics of the OCC, such as the presence of abundant plagioclase‐bearing peridotite and the systematic temporal changes in both deformation microstructures and composition of plagioclase and amphibole in gabbroic mylonites and ultramylonites. Zircon U–Pb ages of gabboric and leucocratic rocks indicate that the terminal phase of Parece Vela Basin spreading was with a significant decline in spreading rate and asymmetry accompanying formation of the Godzilla Megamullion. The estimated denudation rate of the OCC was approximately 2.5 cm/yr; significantly slower than the previous estimate based on poorly constrained magnetic data.     

近100 a来浙江大陆海岸线时空变化特征

收集7个时期的历史图件或卫星遥感影像,运用RS和GIS技术,进行信息提取和实测岸线数据验证,获取各时期浙江大陆海岸线矢量,统计分析结果显示:(1)浙江大陆海岸线总体上表现为海岸线位置外推加快,平直的人工岸线不断取代曲折的自然岸线,部分近岸岛屿并入大陆,海岸线长度明显缩短,百年来人工岸线所占比例由48.01%上升至67.46%。(2)人工岸线和围垦面积变化规律总体呈现出3个明显阶段:1913—1970年自耕农时代高滩围垦阶段,人工岸线长度增加288.78 km,围垦面积仅增593.35 km²;1970—1995年集体农业时代联围堵港阶段,围垦面积快速增加,人工岸线长度反而减少;1995—2014年工业与城镇化建设围垦阶段,人工岸线长度增加116.66 km,而围垦面积剧增1 053.00 km²。(3)河口区大陆海岸线全线平移外推,海岸线长度则有增有减,1913年以来浙江主要河口区围填海面积达1 914.85 km²,占全省围填海面积的76.79%。(4)海湾区大陆海岸线变化以截弯取直为特点,岸线总长度持续减少,百年来三大港湾围填海面积达429.32 km²,占全省的17.22%。     

天然气水合物在油气藏形成过程中的封盖作用——谈造山带中烃源岩对盆地区油气资源的贡献

在中国的造山带中普遍发育优质烃源岩,它们形成于海槽环境,而海槽环境也是形成天然气水合物的有利环境。水合物有良好的封盖作用,其下的油气受到封盖会向相邻的台地区运移,即油气从古海槽区(现今为造山带)向台地区(现今为盆地区)转移。因此造山带中的烃源岩对盆地区油气资源应有积极贡献。认为现今台西南海域的水合物与相邻油气藏具有同源性,这是水合物的封盖作用与油气藏形成之间具有密切联系的生动实例。四川盆地有限的烃源岩分布不能提供巨大的天然气储量,周边造山带可能也提供了相当的资源量。建议在四川盆地和秦岭造山带中系统采集气-液包裹体,以对比它们的亲缘关系,借以验证造山带中的烃源岩是否对盆地区的天然气成藏具有贡献。
