First-order asymptotics for the eigenfrequencies of the Earth and application to the retrieval of large-scale lateral variations of structure

Summary . We present a variety of examples, showing systematic fluctuations as a function of angular order of measured eigenfrequencies for given normal modes of the Earth. The data are single station measurements from the GEOSCOPE network. Such fluctuations are attributed to departures from the lowest order asymptotic expression of the geometrical optics approximation. We derive first-order asymptotic expressions for the location parameter for all three components of the Earth's motion, by a method based on the stationary phase approximation and geometric relations on the unit sphere.
We illustrate the sensitivity of the fluctuations to the different parameters involved (source parameters, epicentral distance, laterally heterogeneous earth model) with synthetic examples corresponding to GEOSCOPE observations. Finally, we show the results of first attempts at inversion, which indicate that, when the fluctuations are taken into account, more accurate estimates of the great circle average eigenfrequencies can be obtained, and additional constraints put on the structure in the neighbourhood of the great circle.     

南、北半球环状模月内活动的主要时间尺度

基于“大气环状活动带” 的概念, 利用逐日再分析资料对南、 北半球环状模 (简称SAM、 NAM) 的季节活动特征及月内活动的主要时间尺度 (Submonthly timescales) 进行了研究, 结果表明, NAM具有冬季强、 夏季弱的年循环特征, 而SAM则表现出明显的准半年循环特征。并且, 逐年的功率谱分析进一步显示: NAM的月内活动的主要时间尺度以准1周和准2周为主, 且它们具有共生性, 准3周为相对次要的周期; 而SAM的月内活动周期与NAM相似, 准2周和准1周较强, 准3周次之。NAM和SAM的月内活动在不同特征时间尺度上的空间特征及其时间演变值得进一步研究。     

Climate Change in China Congruent with the Linear Trends of the Annular Modes

The authors exploit the remarkable connection between the Chinese climate trends and the annular modes by partitioning the trends into components linearly congruent with and linearly independent of the annular modes. Results show that the winter hemisphere annular mode has closer connection to Chinese climate than the summer one, e.g., the wetting JJA (June-July-August) rainfall trend along the Yangtze River valley and the associated temperature trends are significantly linearly congruent with the trend of the southern annular mode, while the JFM (January-February-March) climate trends are closely linked to the northern annular mode. The seasonal differences of a meridional wave-train-like chain across the equatorial Pacific associated with the annular modes are responsible for the seasonal-dependent connections to Chinese climate.

The DynaMICCS perspective

The DynaMICCS mission is designed to probe and understand the dynamics of crucial regions of the Sun that determine solar variability, including the previously unexplored inner core, the radiative/convective zone interface layers, the photosphere/chromosphere layers and the low corona. The mission delivers data and knowledge that no other known mission provides for understanding space weather and space climate and for advancing stellar physics (internal dynamics) and fundamental physics (neutrino properties, atomic physics, gravitational moments...). The science objectives are achieved using Doppler and magnetic measurements of the solar surface, helioseismic and coronographic measurements, solar irradiance at different wavelengths and in-situ measurements of plasma/energetic particles/magnetic fields. The DynaMICCS payload uses an original concept studied by Thalès Alenia Space in the framework of the CNES call for formation flying missions: an external occultation of the solar light is obtained by putting an occulter spacecraft 150 m (or more) in front of a second spacecraft. The occulter spacecraft, a LEO platform of the mini sat class, e.g. PROTEUS, type carries the helioseismic and irradiance instruments and the formation flying technologies. The latter spacecraft of the same type carries a visible and infrared coronagraph for a unique observation of the solar corona and instrumentation for the study of the solar wind and imagers. This mission must guarantee long (one 11-year solar cycle) and continuous observations (duty cycle > 94%) of signals that can be very weak (the gravity mode detection supposes the measurement of velocity smaller than 1 mm/s). This assumes no interruption in observation and very stable thermal conditions. The preferred orbit therefore is the L1 orbit, which fits these requirements very well and is also an attractive environment for the spacecraft due to its low radiation and low perturbation (solar pressure) environment. This mission is secured by instrumental R and D activities during the present and coming years. Some prototypes of different instruments are already built (GOLFNG, SDM) and the performances will be checked before launch on the ground or in space through planned missions of CNES and PROBA ESA missions (PICARD, LYRA, maybe ASPIICS).     

松辽盆地朝阳沟阶地扶余-杨大城子油层油源分析与油气运移模式

基于生物标志化合物参数,系统对比分析了朝阳沟阶地扶余-杨大城子油层原油与三肇凹陷及朝阳沟阶地青山口组-段源岩的关系,表明朝阳沟阶地扶余油层有两个主要油源,即三肇凹陷青-段源岩与朝阳沟本地区青-段源岩,且两者对扶余油层的贡献量可能基本相同.朝阳沟地区杨大城子油层原油与三肇凹陷青-段源岩有密切的亲缘关系,与朝阳沟青-段源岩亲缘关系不明显.这与朝阳沟阶地源岩超压值相对较小、导致油气下排距离浅、进入杨大城子油层的油气量较小相符.在油源对比的基础上,结合断裂和砂体分布等各种地质条件,将朝阳沟阶地油气运移模式分为远源长距离侧向运移和近源短距离侧向运移两种类型.

老厂矿区无烟煤中的汞有两种成因类型:陆源沉积型和后期矿化叠加型,后者的含汞丰度显著高于前者。低硫煤中汞的主要载体为粘土矿物,高硫煤中为黄铁矿;有机汞含量较低并随煤中黄铁矿含量及其含汞性的增高而增高。根据实测数据计算了不同类型煤中各物质成分的汞丰度;对煤中汞的可造性作了初步评价;预测了燃煤电站排气中汞的平均浓度。      

中、低纬太平洋ARGO测站Rossby内波垂直模态的数值计算

针对中、低纬太平洋ARGO测站的4个实际层结个例,计算了无背景流下准地转海洋Rossby内波的垂直模态。结果表明,海水层结垂直方向的不均匀和跃层的存在,使该垂直模态的波型发生了歪曲变形,致使其偏离了余弦波：跃层越强,这种变形也越大：层结最强的层次对应着最大的波动振幅,多极值的层结对应着多个极大振幅：该内波垂直结构函数的零点随模态序数依次递增,且其零点在海水层结较强的层次要比较弱的层次密集。     

云南墨江金厂矿床金镍赋存状态及成因关系探讨

墨江金厂金镍矿床位于哀牢山造山带中段,九甲—安定大断裂上盘,是西南三江成矿带内一个独特的金镍矿床。本文在详细野外地质调查基础上,通过显微镜下观察、扫描电镜和能谱分析,结合矿石微量元素分析,对矿石中金、镍赋存状态及成因关系进行了研究。结果显示,金赋存形式主要有可见金和不可见金。可见金又可分为粒间金和包体金;不可见金是以Au~+赋存于硫锑铜银矿、黄铁矿中。镍赋存状态有两种:一是以独立矿物,如辉砷镍矿、锑硫镍矿等存在;二是以离子态赋存于黄铁矿、硫锑铜银矿中。矿石结构构造、矿物共生组合及微量元素含量等显示,金和镍为同期热液成矿,金来自岩浆热液系统远端的低温热液,镍是含金低温热液流经超基性岩体时萃取而来。成矿过程可分为早期富硅质热液和晚期富钙质热液两个阶段,成矿是在幕式构造活动下多期流体运移和沉淀的结果。
