一种基于MODIS积雪产品的雪线高度提取方法

冰川雪线高度的遥感提取对冰川物质平衡研究具有重要意义。提出一种基于晴空环境下积雪覆盖频率的雪线高度提取方法。使用MOD10A1积雪产品中的像元积雪面积比例数据,提取了2000/2001-2014/2015年间高亚洲地区冰川消融期末雪线高度。使用实测的冰川年物质平衡资料和气象格网数据对提取的雪线高度变化的可信度进行分析。研究表明：近15 a高亚洲雪线高度变化及趋势具有明显的东西差异,雪线高度变化幅度自青藏高原内部地区向四周呈增加趋势,西部大于东部。提取的冰川雪线高度变化与观测的年物质平衡序列具有很高的相关性,对物质平衡波动的平均解释率可高达75%;与气象要素（气温、降水）的年际变化的相关性也较高,约61.58%的格网冰川雪线高度变化可以由夏季气温和季节降水解释。而高亚洲各分区冰川雪线高度的波动规律也与大气环流背景分布一致。因此提取的雪线高度变化具有冰川学意义,可以进一步应用于冰川物质平衡估算及模拟研究中。     

基于MODIS的青藏高原逐日无云积雪产品算法

青藏高原积雪对高亚洲地区水和能量循环起着重要的反馈和调节作用,其变化影响着融雪性河流流量,对下游水资源和经济活动具有重要影响。中分辨率成像光谱仪（MODIS）具有较高的时空分辨率,被广泛应用于积雪遥感动态监测,然而光学遥感积雪受云层影响严重,且青藏高原地区水汽分布不均,局地对流活跃,积雪的赋存时间变化快,这给高原地区逐日积雪监测及其气候学制图带来挑战。在考虑青藏高原地形和积雪分布特征情况下,结合现有的云覆盖下积雪判别算法,采用8个不同方法的组合,逐步实现MODIS逐日无云积雪算法。选取2009年10月1日-2011年4月30日两个积雪季为研究期,并采用145个地面台站观测雪深数据对去云算法各步骤过程开展精度验证,结果表明：当积雪深度>3 cm时,逐日无云积雪产品总分类精度达到96.6%,积雪分类精度达83%,积雪判对概率（召回率）达到89.0%,算法可实现青藏高原地区逐日无云积雪动态监测和积雪覆盖气候学数据重建,对高亚洲地区的水、生态和灾害等全球环境变化影响研究具有重要的意义。

阿姆河盆地上侏罗统海相烃源岩是一套公认的成熟烃源岩,其成熟度与中国古生界高-过成熟度海相烃源岩不同,通过对阿姆河右岸地区上侏罗统岩石样品的地球化学分析及与中国塔里木和华北、四川、吐哈、渤海湾等盆地类似烃源岩的比对,研究了阿姆河盆地成熟海相烃源岩地化特征,建立了有机质丰度与类型的评价标准与图版。结果表明:阿姆河盆地侏罗系存在灰岩和泥岩两类海相烃源岩,灰岩有机质丰度略高于塔里木盆地古生界和华北地台中上元古界灰岩,与四川盆地二叠系灰岩接近,泥岩有机质丰度与吐哈盆地侏罗系煤系泥岩相当,成倍好于塔里木盆地、华北地台海相泥岩;海相泥岩属于Ⅰ₂~Ⅱ型烃源岩,海相灰岩属于Ⅲ~Ⅱ型烃源岩,综合分析认为:1）阿姆河盆地上侏罗统灰岩好烃源岩有机碳含量标准为0.5%,泥岩好烃源岩有机碳含量标准为3%;2）以低等生物为主的海相碳酸盐岩或泥岩,其可溶有机质氯仿沥青“A”族组分、Pr/Ph与Ph/nC₁₈关系、甾烷ααα（C₂₇、C₂₈、C₂₉）-20R含量、多环芳香“三芴”系列等参数既揭示了烃源岩的生源环境,也是鉴别母质类型的良好参数。阿姆河盆地上侏罗统海相泥岩和灰岩烃源岩评价标准与图版的建立,对国外海相盆地油气资源评价具有重要意义。     

一次雨夹雪转暴雪天气过程的微物理模拟研究

利用非静力平衡中尺度数值模式MM5,在四重嵌套网格区域内采用Reisner霰方案,对2009年2月12—13日辽宁雨夹雪转暴雪天气过程进行数值模拟,并对云内微物理过程特别是对雨水、雪和霰的源项进行分析。结果表明：雨水与雪碰并和雨水与云水碰并是产生雨水的主要微物理过程,并且雨水的增长主要分布在700hPa以下。300hPa—200hPa之间雪的凝华增长、冰晶向雪的自动转化和900hPa以下雨水与雪碰并成雪是雪增长主要的物理过程。冰晶向雪的自动转化对降雪的增长和长时间维持起到了重要作用。列出了此次天气过程降水云系的三层云结构及微物理过程模型。     

青海高原1961-2008年雪灾时空分布特征

利用青海高原45个气象站1961-2008年冬季（10月至翌年2月）和春季（3-5月）积雪深度资料,按照DB63雪灾标准分类的等级,并结合实际灾情研究了青海高原雪灾时空尺度、强度及发生频次等的变化。结果表明：近50年来青海高原除了特大雪灾发生频次变化趋势不明显外,其他等级的雪灾发生频次年际变化均呈现上升趋势。青海高原南部的玉树、果洛、黄南南部、海南南部及海西东部地区是雪灾发生的高频区,柴达木盆地和青海东部地区极少发生雪灾。雪灾发生频次从20世纪60年代到2008年呈现上升趋势。     

Challenges associated with pre-border management of biofouling on oil rigs

The potential for oil rigs to transport diverse, reef-like communities around the globe makes them high risk vectors for the inadvertent spread of non-indigenous species (NIS). This paper describes two case studies where a suite of pre-border management approaches was applied to semi-submersible drilling rigs. In the first case study, a drilling rig was defouled in-water prior to departure from New Zealand to Australia. Risk mitigation measures were successful in reducing biosecurity risks to the recipient region, but they resulted in the unintentional introduction of the non-indigenous brown mussel (Perna perna) to New Zealand when the rig was defouled in-water by divers. In the second case study, lessons learned from this high-profile incursion resulted in a more structured approach to pre-border management, and this serves as a useful template for future rig transfers.     

Spatial and temporal deformation characteristics of marine alluvial deposits due to land reclamation: implications from InSAR observation and geotechnical estimate

Ground deformation of reclaimed land is a key issue for reclamation design, construction and sustainable development in coastal areas as this consolidation process of the underlying compressible marine sediment sequences over very long‐time periods could lead to damage of both ground constructions and underground facilities. In this case study, we have investigated the spatial and temporal characteristics of residual reclamation settlement of Chek Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong, one of the largest land reclamation projects worldwide. A total of 25 time series ENVISAT ASAR datasets, acquired between December 2003 and October 2008, were used to retrieve settlement rates and deformation history at high resolution and accuracy by means of advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR). The InSAR‐derived results show a fairly homogenous and stable pattern in the sectors of the airport site corresponding to the two original islands of Chek Lap Kok and Lam Chau. In contrast, a relatively high spatial settlement variability, ranging from moderate (3–7?mm/yr) to strong (>10?mm/yr) settlement rates, was discovered within the majority of the reclaimed portion of the airport. A joint analysis of InSAR observations and geological materials indicates that the variability of the recorded residual settlement was highly correlated with the variations of thickness and pre‐consolidation state of alluvial deposits below the reclamation. A quantitative comparison analysis also has been carried out between time series InSAR observations and theoretical estimates of residual settlement modelled by geotechnical investigations. The results imply that a primary consolidation process in alluvial deposits below the reclamation might be delayed with respect to the predicted results and may still have been occurring in most reclaimed areas during the investigation period (2003–2008); the time to complete it could stretch to decades depending on hydraulic conductivity and natural drainage conditions.

天津断裂第四纪活动性研究

天津断裂分为天津南断裂和天津北断裂。根据人工地震探测结果,分别在天津静海县城西、西青区炒米店村、小南河村以及宁河县朱头淀村布设了4条钻孔剖面,对这2条断裂开展了钻孔勘探工作。经微体古生物鉴定,获得了各钻孔的海相层位置;经地层年代测试,确定了第1、第2和第3海相层的年代;通过以海相层为标志层的地层对比,并结合小南河村BZ1、TN3孔古地磁的测试结果,对这2条断裂的活动性进行了分析研究。结果表明,天津南断裂晚更新世以来未发现有过活动的迹象,其最新活动年代可能在中更新世。而天津北断裂也未发现晚更新世以来存在活动的迹象,该断裂在早更新世早期可能有过活动。由此可见,天津南断裂活动性可能要强于天津北断裂。同时发现,第2、第3、第4海相层在不同的地区存在不同程度的缺失现象。因此,在将其用于地层对比时,必须同时确定各海相层的地质年代,否则对比结果可能会出错。对于发生年代存在争议的第2海相层,认为其形成时间应在7万a左右。     

日本海洋环境问题的社会学研究动向

日本学术界已经注意到,各种环境问题中,海洋环境问题是最难解决的,棘手的原因有技术层面的问题,而更多的则是社会层面的问题。因此,将社会学引入海洋环境问题的研究是十分必要的。目前阶段,日本海洋环境问题的社会学研究在海洋观教育的基本脉络之下,分成海岸带、"森林?河流?海洋的共生"、潮间带、海洋漂浮垃圾等专题研究动向,而这些研究动向之所以形成又是与日本海洋立国的需要有着必然的联系与规律。海洋环境问题的研究是21世纪一个热点领域,有必要引进海洋国家日本关于多元化海洋环境问题与社会问题的观念和研究模式,在国际比较研究的基础上,进行中国的海洋环境社会学学科建设。     

A comparison of annual and seasonal carbon dioxide effluxes between sub-Arctic Sweden and High-Arctic Svalbard

Recent climate change predictions suggest altered patterns of winter precipitation across the Arctic. It has been suggested that the presence, timing and quantity of snow all affect microbial activity, thus influencing CO₂ production in soil. In this study annual and seasonal emissions of CO₂ were estimated in High-Arctic Adventdalen, Svalbard, and sub-Arctic Latnjajaure, Sweden, using a new trace gas-based method to track real-time diffusion rates through the snow. Summer measurements from snow-free soils were made using a chamber-based method. Measurements were obtained from different snow regimes in order to evaluate the effect of snow depth on winter CO₂ effluxes. Total annual emissions of CO₂ from the sub-Arctic site (0.662–1.487 kg CO₂ m^–2 yr^–1) were found to be more than double the emissions from the High-Arctic site (0.369–0.591 kg CO₂ m^–2 yr^–1). There were no significant differences in winter effluxes between snow regimes or vegetation types, indicating that spatial variability in winter soil CO₂ effluxes are not directly linked to snow cover thickness or soil temperatures. Total winter emissions (0.004–0.248 kg CO₂ m^–2) were found to be in the lower range of those previously described in the literature. Winter emissions varied in their contribution to total annual production between 1 and 18%. Artificial snow drifts shortened the snow-free period by 2 weeks and decreased the annual CO₂ emission by up to 20%. This study suggests that future shifts in vegetation zones may increase soil respiration from Arctic tundra regions.
