Temperature dependence of thermal conductivity and its impact on assessments of heat flux

The variability of sedimentary thermal conductivities with increasing temperature are explored for their impact on estimates of present-day heat flux and subsurface temperature gradient. For sand thicknesses less than about 10–20 km, or shale thicknesses less than about 40–80 km, the subsurface temperature is closely linearly proportional to the thermal resistance integral obtained in the absence of the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity. Estimates of heat flux should be increased (decreased) by about 5% for sands and decreased by about 1% for shales. For salt, because of the much shorter temperature range over which its thermal conductivity decreases, effects produced by the temperature dependence are more noticeable: heat flux should be increased by around 13%, salt thicknesses in excess of 5 km will yield major (around 30–100°C) changes in their temperature regimes solely as a consequence of the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, and the linear increase of temperature with increasing thermal resistance is not an adequate approximation but has to be replaced with a more exact exponential increase.The impact of the variations, particularly in the case of salt, for geologic processes is briefly considered.     

Extremely low temperatures in the stratosphore and very low total ozone amount above northern and central Europe during winter 1989

On 1 February 1989, -83.5°C was recorded in 27.8 hPa over Hohenpeißenberg, the lowest temperature in the 22-year series. This was measured together with a very low total ozone amount of 266 DU. This may be compared with nearly twice this amount on 27 February 1989. The situation was very unusual: following an extremely cold winter in the Arctic stratosphere, the stratospheric cold pole was located over southern Scandinavia on 1 February in a very southerly position. The analyzed temperatures of -92 °C in 30 hPa were also unusual. Even though the low ozone amounts over Hohenpeißenberg were probably dynamically caused, an additional very small ozone decrease due to heterogeneous reactions in altitudes from 23–28 km, where the temperatures lie below -80 °C, cannot be ruled out. Extinction measurements by the orbitting SAGE II instrument indeed show polar stratospheric clouds over Europe near 50° N during the period 31 January–2 February. Also, polar stratospheric clouds were previously observed over Kiruna at similarly low temperatures and signs of a corresponding small ozone decrease were noted there.     

TEMPERATURE SEQUENCE AND ITS CHANGE FOR RECENT 200 YEARS IN THE MIDDLE REACHES OF THE TARIM RIVER

Based on the populus euphratica chronologies in the middle reaches of the Tarim River,the temperaturesequence in growing season of populus euphratica for recent 200 years at Shaya weather station is reconstructed,which can be regarded as evidence of warm-cold changes in recent 100 years in the middle reaches of theTarim River.

用非线性模型研究环境温度场和涡度场对台风发生、发展的影响

本文采用二维板对称高截断谱模式研究了环境温度场和偶度场对台风发生、发展的影响，指出整层平均的环境温度场的水平梯度和涡度场是影响台风重要因子。较强的环境温度汤梯度的作用类似于水平方向不均匀加热场的作用，能造成暖区上升、冷区下沉的热力直接环流，并且温度场的梯度越大，环流越强。对于整层平均的绝对涡度场而言，只有弱的正的平均绝对涡度才有利于台风的维持。     

中国人皮肤相对湿度的地理分布

根据Ｂｅｒｇｌｕｎｄ等人（１９８３）公式：Ｗ＝（ｅｓｋ－ｅａ）／（ｅｓｓｋ－ｅａ），利用大气温度，大气水汽压和皮肤温度的月平均值，计算皮肤相对湿度，并按皮肤相对湿度划分舒适带。结果表明，决定我国皮肤相对湿度地理分布的基本因素是纬度，海陆分布，地形和大气环流，季节不同，则各因素所起作用有差异。作者以皮肤相对湿度２５％－４５％表示舒适带，计算表明，我国气候舒适带有明显的地区差异和季节变化。
