Ambient noise as the new source for urban engineering seismology and earthquake engineering: a case study from Beijing metropolitan area

In highly populated urban centers, traditional seismic survey sources can no longer be properly applied due to restrictions in modern civilian life styles. The ambient vibration noise, including both microseisms and microtremor, though are generally weak but available anywhere and anytime, can be an ideal supplementary source for conducting seismic surveys for engineering seismology and earthquake engineering. This is fundamentally supported by advanced digital signal processing techniques for effectively extracting the useful information out from the noise. Thus, it can be essentially regarded as a passive seismic method. In this paper we first make a brief survey of the ambient vibration noise, followed by a quick summary of digital signal processing for passive seismic surveys. Then the applications of ambient noise in engineering seismology and earthquake engineering for urban settings are illustrated with examples from Beijing metropolitan area. For engineering seismology the example is the assessment of site effect in a large area via microtremor observations. For earthquake engineering the example is for structural characterization of a typical reinforced concrete high-rise building using background vibration noise. By showing these examples we argue that the ambient noise can be treated as a new source that is economical, practical, and particularly valuable to engineering seismology and earthquake engineering projects for seismic hazard mitigation in urban areas.

Skewed Water Temperature Occurrence Frequency in the Sea off Sanriku, Japan, and Intrusion of the Pure Kuroshio Water

Temperature and salinity data obtained by the Iwate Fisheries Technology Center were analyzed for the period 1971–1995. It was found that occurrence frequency distributions of temperature and salinity are very skewed at depths deeper than 200 m and that temperature sometimes exceeds m + 5σ (m: mean and σ: standard deviation. If such abnormally high temperatures are real the 3σ criterion cannot be adopted. Oceanic conditions were surveyed in 1972 and 1979, when temperatures exceeding m + 5σ were observed. It was found that the abnormally high temperature (and high salinity) water was the pure Kuroshio Water introduced into the region due to some special conditions such as abnormal approach of large warm-core ring to the Sanriku Coast or abnormal northward extension of the Kuroshio along the coast. These events are very rare, occurring only twice in the 25-year period analyzed, but the abnormally high temperature observed is real. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

测井信息用于层序地层单元划分及对比研究综述

测井曲线是载有地层沉积旋回信息的信号,运用测井信息划分层序地层单元及地层对比研究自开始以来已取得了长足进步,从定性的分析、识别发展到现在可半定量、定量提取不同级别的沉积单元界面及进行层序地层对比,更进一步克服了地质学家手工划分层序中人为因素的影响,进而也推进了层序地层学研究的定量化发展。岩性突变、沉积韵律是影响其测井响应及曲线形态的两个重要因素,测井响应对沉积单元界面上下岩性的类型及粒度的不同而产生的声、放、电性质的变化,是利用测井信息划分沉积单元界面的基础。随着层序地层学研究的深入,沉积单元界面识别及层序地层对比的测井研究将向更深层次、更定量化的方向发展,短周期及超短周期沉积旋回的测井曲线形态内部特征提取及划分、层序地层智能动态匹配对比的方法研究将是今后开展研究的新方向。
