The relationship between the canonical ENSO and the phase transition of the Antarctic oscillation at the quasi-quadrennial timescale

A correlation analysis is performed to investigate the relationship between El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Antarctic oscillation (AAO) at the quasi-quadrennial (QQ) timescale.It is found that the cold tongue index (CTI) and the AAO index (AAOI) are negatively correlated with about a 7-month lead-time,while they are positively correlated with about a 15-month lag-time.To further explore this relationship,complex empirical orthogonal function analysis is employed in the QQ sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies from 1951 to 2002.The results indicate that,during the ENSO cycle,there exists one kind of global tropical wave of wavenumber 1 (GTW1) propagating eastward.With the traveling of GTW1,the tropical SLP anomaly tends to intrude into the southern mid-latitudes.Accordingly,three strong signals travel synchronously along the circumSouth-Pacific path,and a relatively weak signal extends eastward and poleward over the South Ocean in the Atlantic-Indian Ocean sector.Following the propagation of these signals,the AAO phase tends to be reversed progressively.As a result,there exists an evident lead-lag correlation between CTI and AAOI.It can be concluded that ENSO plays a key role in the phase transition of AAO at the QQ timescale.It is also noticed that this regular relationship is only evident in the canonical ENSO events,for which sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies extend westward from the tropical eastern Pacific.On the other hand,the similar relationships are not found among those atypical ENSO events for which SST anomalies spread eastward from the central Pacific,such as the 1982-1983 ENSO event.     

青藏高原东南缘构造应力场重构

采用有限元方法,针对青藏高原东南缘建立更细致、更精确的三维有限元弹性模型。选取9种不同的应力边界条件,分别进行优化分析后处理,将对应台站形变模拟值与GPS实测值进行误差分析,最终选取最佳方案作为古构造应力场。结果表明,青藏高原东南缘4 Ma BP的古应力场主要起源于中国大陆周围板块的相互作用,特别是印度板块NNE向强烈碰撞作用,成为中国大陆尤其是西南部青藏高原地区构造应力场最主要的动力来源,控制各个块体相互作用的方式和运动格局。青藏高原东南缘古应力场主要包括几个力源：西北部青藏高原侧向挤压造成的WE向应力约105 MPa;西南部直接来自于印度板块的NE-WS向应力约70 MPa;南部NS向作用力33 MPa;东南部扬子块体侧向NW-SE阻挡力56 MPa;北东部受扬子块体强烈EW向阻挡力90 MPa。这些力源共同作用于青藏高原东南缘,形成现今复杂应力场。
     

“G2”:危机后的世界力量格局

目前这场空前的世界经济危机给予中国的是"机"大干"危".这种"机"大干"危"的真实的意义在于:这场危机真正改变了资本主义以来的"西方民主"的话语"霸权".一个真正意义的世界多元经济模式和文化模式将在更高层次上显现;领导世界的力量,将不再是以美国为首的"G7"国家,一个以"G20"国为整体,并以"中美"合作为主导下的新的世界力量格局正在出现,这个格局被一些国际问题分析家称作"双头"世界.     

东准噶尔卡拉麦里地区黄羊山岩体岩石学特征

在前人研究基础上,对黄羊山岩体取得了新的认识:萨北岩体和苏吉泉岩体只是黄羊山岩体的一个组成部分,并非单独岩体.黄羊山岩体寄主岩石划分为中粒黑云母碱长花岗岩、中粒角闪石碱长花岗岩、中粒钠铁闪石碱长花岗岩、中细粒钠铁闪石碱长花岗岩、细粒黑云母碱长花岗岩和细粒混合花岗岩(含石墨)6个单元.岩石学及矿物特征表明,岩体有从黑云母碱长花岗岩向钠铁闪石碱长花岗岩演化的趋势,可能是幔源重熔分异的碱性花岗岩(A型花岗岩),而闪长质微细粒包体及大量发育的闪长(玢)岩脉和辉绿(玢)岩脉提供了有力的佐证,初步研究认为黄羊山岩体形成于后碰撞张性环境,其就位与卡拉麦里断裂有关,其形成和演化标志了准噶尔地区显生宙幔源岩浆活动及其分异产物导致大陆地壳垂向生长过程.     

Effects of wind waves of the Pacific westerly on the eastern Pacific wave transport

There exists a tongueshaped swelldominance pool known as Swell Pool (SP) in the Eastern Pacific region. The monthlymean wave transports (WT) for each month of 2000 is computed using the wave products of ECMWF reanalysis data. By comparing the 2000 monthlymean WT and monthlymean wind field from QUICKSCAT, large differences are found between the wave transport direction and the wind direction over the Eastern Pacific. This may serve as an evidence for the existence of the SP in this region. The work done in this study indicates that the sources of swell in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) are in the westerly regions of the Southern and Northern Pacific.     

The black water around the Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary in the spring of 2003

The Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary is located in the East China Sea shelf with shallow water. Affected by the tide mixing and the runoff of the Changjiang River and the Qiantang River, the turbidity is very high. Generally, the water-leaving radiance is high in the turbid water because of the large particle scattering. Based on the in-situ data and ocean color remote sensing data of SeaWiFS, it was found that there was a black water region with the normalized water-leaving radiances less than 0.5 mW/(cm2·μm2·...     

A preliminary study of variations of the Changjiang Diluted Water between August of 1999 and 2006

A large area hypoxia has been already reported respectively by two interdisciplinary surveys off the Changjiang Estuary since summer of 1999 and 2006. The hypoxic zone shows distinct year-to-year variations. Observed oceanographic data are first analysized and reveal a big difference for the Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) between these two periods. These great changes are related to the tremendous reduction of the freshwater discharge and variations of wind fields between these two years. It is also found that the monthly mean intrusion of Kuroshio and its branches has increased in the northern East China Sea (ECS), but decreased in the southern ECS in August of 2006 as compared with 1999 on the base of general circulation models. Then, the Regional Ocean Modelling Systems is applied to the East China Sea to evaluate the contributions and relative importance of impacts from the river discharge, wind forcing and open boundary data. Our simulations reproduce the phenomena that more fresh water extends northeastward in 2006 and forms a negative SSS anomaly to the northeast of the river mouth as compared with 1999, which is consistent with observations. The five group numerical tests suggest that the wind forcing dominates the CDW variations followed by the Kuroshio and its branches. The study implies important roles played by hydrodynamic processes on the variability of hypoxic zone in the study areas.

东濮凹陷沙三段盐岩成因及含盐地层层序划分

东濮凹陷沙三段高水位期沉积深灰色、暗色泥岩与少量重力流砂体,低水位期沉积盐岩、膏岩、低位三角洲与扇三角洲,从而形成纵向上深湖泥岩与蒸发岩、低位砂岩的频繁互层沉积。根据岩心资料、盐岩沉积序列特点及沙三段沉积期古气候和古环境特点,认为盐岩为浅水蒸发成因。深水相泥岩与浅水成因的盐岩频繁互层表明沙三段沉积期湖平面变化频繁。基于盐韵律特征划分准层序的方法,使得层序地层划分更为符合东濮凹陷含盐地层的实际情况。

太东斜坡区为松辽盆地大庆长垣向三肇凹陷倾没的单倾斜坡.利用岩心、测井和地震等资料,研究葡萄花油层油藏类型和油水分布规律.结果表明:斜坡区油平面受4条近南北向"断层带"分割,具有东西分带特征,且受源外油源供给不足和油东西向运移影响,自东向西单一"断阶带"含油性逐级变差;油垂向分布受沉积演化和优势输导通道控制表现为"双峰"特征,主要分布在葡萄花油层中部;油藏类型主要为东南倾斜坡背景下的近南北向断层与北西向河道砂体匹配形成的断层—岩性油藏.在油水分布规律研究的基础上,结合单一圈闭内断层与单砂体匹配样式,提出源外斜坡区油聚集机制受构造部位、优质储层、断层封闭性和断层与砂体匹配样式控制,即单一"断阶带"高点控制油气聚集部位;浅水三角洲水下分流河道和河控席状砂构成油气优质储层;断层侧向封闭性影响油气垂向富集高度和平面"互补"特征;断层与单砂体匹配样式决定油气富集层位.
