西太平洋暖池冰期旋回中的类ENSO式演化及其驱动机制

作为全球接受太阳辐射最多、表层海水温度最高的区域,西太平洋暖池区通过厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(El Niño-Southern Oscillation,ENSO)和季风等过程影响着全球气候的变化。越来越多的沉积记录证明,在地质历史时期西太平洋暖池也存在类似于现代ENSO过程的“类ENSO式”变化。而目前类ENSO式变化与冰期—间冰期旋回之间的响应关系和驱动机制及其与东亚季风的关联仍存在争议。本文利用位于暖池核心区的B10岩心浮游有孔虫氧同位素、Mg/Ca(质量分数比)和黏土矿物参数重建了暖池区氧同位素8期以来的古气候记录,并结合已有的热带海表温度记录、中国石笋氧同位素和南大洋地区海表温度记录,研究了西太平洋暖池冰期旋回中类ENSO状态的演化规律及其与东亚季风的关系,并探讨了暖池区类ENSO演化的驱动机制。结果发现:冰期时,西太平洋暖池区温跃层变浅,赤道东、西太平洋温差减小,同时,东亚夏季风减弱,暖池区降水量相对减少,与现代El Niño时期气候态类似;间冰期时,西太平洋暖池区温跃层加深,赤道东、西太平洋温差增大,东亚冬夏季风增强,暖池区降水量相对增加,与现代La Niña时期气候态类似。频谱分析结果表明,西太平洋暖池区海表温度的变化具有偏心率周期(96 ka)。冰消期时,低纬度太阳辐射量的增加,增大了纬向上的SST梯度,并使得次表层海水储存了更多的热量,积累的热量会通过调节次表层环流向暖池区的热传输,最终调控赤道太平洋地区Walker环流强度和ENSO活动的长期变化。而冰期时,南大洋地区降温所引起的东南信风和大洋环流异常可能对类ENSO式起到调控的作用。     

高邮凹陷汉留1号断层输导通道的时空分布特征

汉留1号断层是苏北盆地高邮凹陷深凹带北侧边界断层。为了明确该断层输导通道的时间与空间分布特征,通过断层面几何形态、关键时期断层活动速率计算,阐释了汉留1号断层在两个油气主运移时期的输导能力,判识了输导通道的空间位置。研究表明,汉留1号断层在三垛组沉积期活动速率>25 m/Ma,断层开启具有输导能力,另一方面,汉留1号断层的断层面存在3个明显的凸面和2个凹面区域,因此,在该沉积期该断层在3个凸面区域发育3条输导通道。而在随后的盐城组至今的沉积期,断层活动强度减弱,活动速率<10 m/Ma,输导能力弱,垂向上主要起封闭作用。因此,空间上断层通道发育于断层面凸面位置;时间上,断层活动速率>25 m/Ma时通道开启,<10 m/Ma时通道关闭。就聚集而言,断层通道开启时油气沿断层向上运移聚集于上部滚动背斜圈闭中,闭合时聚集于下部断层圈闭中。     

基于CloudSat、FY-2E资料的中国海域及周边地区深对流和穿透性对流特征

深对流在地-气系统的物质和能量交换中起着至关重要的作用,伴随而来的暴雨、雷电、冰雹等天气会对人类社会产生影响。利用CloudSat/CALIPSO和FY-2E卫星观测数据,研究了中国海域及周边地区非穿透性对流（DCwo）及穿透性对流（CO）的海-陆分布、云顶红外亮温和云团特征（包括对流系统（CS）和对流单体（CC）的面积、活跃性对流比、偏心率、最低亮温、平均亮温梯度）。结果发现:穿透性对流比非穿透性对流的云顶红外亮温更低,垂直高度上的雷达反射率更高;从发生次数来看,非穿透性对流/穿透性对流在海洋比陆地多,低纬度比高纬度多,夏季比其他季节多,冬季海陆差异最大;从云顶亮温的分布来看,海洋比陆地、穿透性对流比非穿透性对流集中分布区间的亮温值更低,穿透性对流的分布区间比非穿透性对流集中;从云团特征来看,对流系统/对流单体的发生频率随面积的增大而降低,穿透性对流比非穿透性对流、海洋比陆地更容易出现较大面积的对流系统/对流单体,海洋穿透性对流的活跃性对流比相对较高;偏心率在0.5以上的发生频率较高,对流系统形状更偏向于圆形,在海洋上更加明显;穿透性对流在海陆上的最低亮温集中分布区间为190-195 K,比非穿透性对流的分布更集中,平均亮温梯度在0.1 K/km以下的发生频率较高。      

基于灰色支持向量机残差修正模型的地面沉降量预测

沉降现象在各地区普遍发生,地面沉降量预测越来越受到重视。本文通过结合灰色(GM(1,1))预测模型和支持向量机(SVM)模型各自的优点,建立灰色支持向量机(GM(1,1)-SVM)残差修正模型,在突出时间序列发展趋势影响的同时降低序列中异常值的消极作用。以某高层建筑的18次地面沉降量数据为实例,检验GM(1,1)-SVM模型的预测效果。结果表明:相对单一的GM(1,1)沉降量预测模型,GM(1,1)-SVM模型相对误差小,预测精度高,对地面沉降量预测有一定指导意义。

Sentinel-1卫星合成孔径雷达获取第一幅台风图像

In this note, we present the first Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar(SAR) typhoon image acquired in the northwest Pacific on October 4, 2014. The eye shape and sea surface wind patterns associated with Typhoon Phanfone are clearly shown in the high-quality SAR image. SAR winds retrieval procedure was given but the actual wind estimates will only be available after the European Space Agency(ESA) releases the official calibration coefficients in order to accurately derive the SAR-measured normalized radar cross section. This study demonstrates the advantage of Sentinel-1 SAR with regards to imaging fine scale typhoon patterns on the sea surface beneath storm clouds. This paper also advocates the use of Sentinel-1 SAR data that is made freely and openly available worldwide for the first time in civilian SAR history.     

环介导等温扩增联合横向流动试纸条快速检测扁浒苔(Ulva compressa)的研究

本研究将环介导等温扩增技术(loop-mediated isothermal amplification,LAMP)与横向流动试纸条(lateral flow dipstick,LFD)的可视化检测方法结合,建立了扁浒苔(Ulva compressa)的LAMPLFD快速检测技术。该方法以扁浒苔的内转录间隔区(ITS1-5.8S-ITS2)序列为检测靶标,设计了3对特异性引物(其中,上游内引物由生物素标记)和1条异硫氰酸荧光素标记的探针。结果表明,LAMP最适反应温度为63°C,扩增时间为60 min,从核酸扩增到LFD结果判读需70 min。利用LAMP-LFD可特异性检出扁浒苔,对浒苔、曲浒苔、缘管浒苔和孔石莼等石莼属绿藻以及塔玛亚历山大藻、无纹环沟藻、东海原甲藻、锥状斯克里普藻和赤潮异弯藻等常见微藻的检测结果为阴性。该方法最低可检测到0.1 pg的扁浒苔基因组DNA,是以Uco ITS-F3和Uco ITS-B3为特异性引物的PCR方法的100倍。对实际样品的检测结果表明,LAMP-LFD方法检测扁浒苔与传统的形态学观察的结果一致。因此,该方法可快速、特异地检测出扁浒苔,而且操作简单,仪器设备依赖性低,有潜力成为扁浒苔现场检测的常规技术手段。     

A creep model for compacted loess based on 1D oedometer testEI北大核心CSCD

A series of long-term 1D oedometer test on compacted loess has been conducted using a high pressure consolidometer. It is found that the compacted loess has remarkable creep deformation and the proportion of the creep deformation in total deformation can come up to 6%-23%. The creep deformation proportion goes higher as the water content of the sample increases and the compaction degree reduces. And the creep deformation proportion decreases with the increase of stress level. A nonlinear creep model, which can well describe the rules of post-construction settlement of compacted loess, is proposed. The validity of model is verified by comparing the results from proposed model with those from the layer-wise summation method. The proposed model is employed to examine the variation law of the post-construction settlement under the conditions of the different water contents and compaction degrees. It is found that there exist logarithmic relationships between the post-construction settlement and the compaction degree/water contents. Supposing the velocity of the post-construction settlement v<0.1 mm/d is the stabilized standard, the high embankment settlement trends to be stable in 200 to 650 days after construction. The higher the compaction degree is, the lower the water content is, the longer the time up to stable required is.     

PEPSI: The high‐resolution échelle spectrograph and polarimeter for the Large Binocular Telescope

PEPSI is the bench‐mounted, two‐arm, fibre‐fed and stabilized Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument for the 2×8.4 m Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Three spectral resolutions of either 43 000, 120 000 or 270 000 can cover the entire optical/red wavelength range from 383 to 907 nm in three exposures. Two 10.3k×10.3k CCDs with 9‐µm pixels and peak quantum efficiencies of 94–96 % record a total of 92 échelle orders. We introduce a new variant of a wave‐guide image slicer with 3, 5, and 7 slices and peak efficiencies between 92–96 %. A total of six cross dispersers cover the six wavelength settings of the spectrograph, two of them always simultaneously. These are made of a VPH‐grating sandwiched by two prisms. The peak efficiency of the system, including the telescope, is 15 % at 650 nm, and still 11 % and 10 % at 390 nm and 900 nm, respectively. In combination with the 110 m² light‐collecting capability of the LBT, we expect a limiting magnitude of ≈20th mag in V in the low‐resolution mode. The R = 120 000 mode can also be used with two, dual‐beam Stokes IQUV polarimeters. The 270 000‐mode is made possible with the 7‐slice image slicer and a 100‐µm fibre through a projected sky aperture of 0.74″, comparable to the median seeing of the LBT site. The 43 000‐mode with 12‐pixel sampling per resolution element is our bad seeing or faint‐object mode. Any of the three resolution modes can either be used with sky fibers for simultaneous sky exposures or with light from a stabilized Fabry‐Pérot étalon for ultra‐precise radial velocities. CCD‐image processing is performed with the dedicated data‐reduction and analysis package PEPSI‐S4S. Its full error propagation through all image‐processing steps allows an adaptive selection of parameters by using statistical inferences and robust estimators. A solar feed makes use of PEPSI during day time and a 500‐m feed from the 1.8 m VATT can be used when the LBT is busy otherwise. In this paper, we present the basic instrument design, its realization, and its characteristics. Some pre‐commissioning first‐light spectra shall demonstrate the basic functionality.
