The analytic properties of the flapping current sheets in the earth magnetotail

The current sheet in Earth’s magnetotail often flaps, and the flapping waves could be induced propagating towards the dawn and dusk flanks, which could make the current sheet dynamic. To explore the dynamic characteristics of current sheet associated with the flapping motion holistically and provide reasonable physical interpretations, detailed direct calculation and analysis have been applied to one approximate analytic model of magnetic field in the flapping current sheet. The main results from the model demonstrate: (1) the magnetic fluctuation amplitude is attenuated from the center of current sheet to the lobe regions; The larger wave amplitude would induce the larger magnetic amplitude; (2) the curvature of magnetic field lines (MFLs), with maximum at the center of current sheet, is only dependent on the displacement Z along the south-north direction from the center of current sheet, regardless of the tilt of current sheet; (3) the half-thickness of neutral sheet, h, the minimum curvature radius of MFLs, R_cmin, and the tilt angle of current sheet, δ, satisfies h=R_cmin cos δ; (4) the gradient of magnetic strength forms a double-peak profile, and the peak value would be more intense if the local current sheet is more tilted; (5) current density j and its j_y, j_z components reach the extremum at the center of CS. j and j_z would be more intense if the local current sheet is more tilted, but it is not the case for j_y; and (6) the field-aligned component of current density mainly appears in the neutral sheet, and the sign of it would change alternatively as the flapping waves passing by. To check the validity of the model, one simulation on the virtual measurements has been made, and the results are in well consistence with actual observations of Cluster.     

Observed and modelled tidal currents in the New Zealand region

Tidal currents derived from current meter measurements are compared with the output from a barotropic tidal model of the New Zealand region. For the semi‐diurnal constituents there was very good agreement for the M₂ tide and good agreement for the S₂ tide. For the diurnal constituents (K_l, O_l) it was found that as the amplitude of the constituents decreased so did both the model/observation agreement and the accuracy of the observed tidal ellipse parameters. Consequently it was not possible to decide whether differences arose through shortcomings in the model or in the data. However, the overall performance of the model as a prognostic tool for ocean tidal current simulation appears to be good.     

成山头海域潮流能资源可开发量评估

针对潮流能资源较丰富的成山头外海域,利用FVCOM数值模式,在良好模拟该海域潮流场的基础上,运用能量耗散原理,对该海域的潮流能资源可开发量进行了评估。结果表明,在转换装置的拖拽系数为0.07时,面积为27km2的成山头近岸海域的可开发潮流能资源约为17.9MW,其中大潮期间的可开发量高达37.7MW,而小潮期间则为7.3MW。在此条件下,该海域大潮期间涨急和落急时刻的流速分别减小了40%和38%,但发电装置对潮汐的影响较小,在成山头顶端的高潮潮位仅下降了4cm。

Periglacial climate at the 2.5 Ma onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation inferred from the Whippoorwill Formation, northern Missouri, USA

The Whippoorwill Formation is a gleyed diamicton that is present locally within bedrock depressions beneath the oldest glacial till in northern Missouri, USA. Stratigraphy, paleomagnetism, and cosmogenic-nuclide burial ages show that it was deposited between the Matuyama-Gauss magnetostratigraphic boundary at 2.58 Ma and the first advance of the Laurentide ice sheet into Missouri at 2.47 ± 0.19 Ma. High cosmogenic-nuclide concentrations also show that the constituents of the Whippoorwill Formation experienced long exposure at a stable landscape surface with erosion rates of 1-2 m/Ma. However, cosmogenic-nuclide concentrations are invariant with depth below the Whippoorwill Formation surface, indicating active mixing of the soil profile shortly before burial by till. The Whippoorwill Formation retains numerous features indicative of cryoturbation. Therefore, we interpret it as a buried Gelisol, a soil formed under periglacial conditions in the presence of permafrost. At the onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation, climate cooling established permafrost conditions and accelerated erosion by inducing landscape instability. Thus, weathered regolith materials were mobilized and redeposited by gelifluction shortly before the ice sheet overrode the landscape.     

沾化凹陷桩西油田古近系东营组重力流水道的沉积特征及形成条件

济阳坳陷沾化凹陷桩西油田古近系东营组下段砂体平面呈条带状展布,与曲流河单河道沉积砂体形态类似。砂岩的沉积成因是建立高精度时间地层格架、预测储集层属性参数空间分布及挖潜剩余油的关键基础之一。综合分析区域地质背景、地层沉积序列、岩石学性质、沉积组合以及砂体几何形态等方面,认为桩西油田东下段砂岩是在半深湖—深湖环境沿湖盆长轴方向延伸的远源滑塌型重力流水道—浊流水道沉积;沉积物源主要来自北部埕北低凸起附近的扇三角洲和水下扇。根据重力流水道的成因机制,将东下段浊流水道划分为水道中心微相、水道边缘微相和水下漫溢微相。单一水道中心微相沉积序列相当于鲍玛序列的AB、ABD或AC组合,主要沉积中厚层正递变层理含砾细砂岩相和块状层理混合碎屑岩相,属中孔中低渗储集层。研究区滑塌型浊流水道形成的外部控制因素是火山喷发及控盆断层的幕式活动所导致的长期基准面下降;内部控制因素是充足的物源、垂直湖盆长轴方向的阶梯状断裂以及负向湖盆底形等。建立了反映该区浊流水道的沉积特征及发育条件的沉积模式。     

山西芮城水峪地区罗圈组海侵沉积物

华北陆块南缘、西南缘广泛分布的罗圈组及其相应地层多被认为是新元古代末期冰川沉积。山西南部芮城水峪剖面位于华北南缘罗圈组出露范围的最北端,罗圈组受下伏蓟县系龙家园组白云岩风化面形态控制,横向岩性变化剧烈,分别由准原地堆积的风化角砾岩、紫红色含砾泥岩及一套特殊的"含砾砂质鲕粒白云岩"组成,均为温暖气候下海侵或海侵改造产物,与冰川作用无关。"含砾砂质鲕粒白云岩"在华北南缘罗圈组中尚属首次发现,具有明显的指相意义。该地区罗圈组海侵沉积物的存在,可能表明华北南缘罗圈组在各地区存在沉积环境乃至地层时代的巨大差异,不能简单以某一冰期的"冰碛岩"笼统看待。
