一次江淮气旋暴雪的积雪特征及气象影响因子分析

利用自动站、人工加密观测及常规观测资料,通过对2017年2月21—22日一次江淮气旋暴雪过程积雪特征的分析,揭示了近地面气象要素对积雪深度的复杂影响。结果表明:(1)江淮气旋系统特有的空间结构导致山东南、北地区的降雪量和积雪深度不均衡分布。(2)积雪深度具有时效性,在降雪结束时达到峰值,因温度的变化导致峰值不一定维持到次日08时。(3)积雪深度是近地面多气象要素共同作用的结果,降水相态、降雪量、降雪强度、气温、地温和风速均有影响。主要表现为:雨夹雪在转为纯雪之前可产生不超过1 cm的积雪,如果不转雪则不会产生有量积雪;各地降雪含水比差异较大,全省平均为0. 5 cm·mm~(-1),低于全国平均值;在降雪不融化的情况下,降雪量、降雪强度越大则积雪越深,降雪强度大是气温和地温都高于0℃时产生积雪的必要条件;地温和气温越低对积雪形成越有利,积雪开始产生时的地温最高阈值多在0℃左右,地温先突降后缓升是积雪产生前后的共性特征,积雪产生后1～2 h内地温略有上升并逐渐趋于稳定;积雪产生时气温一般低于0℃,气温高于0℃时大部分降雪融化;有利于产生积雪的平均风力多不超过2级,极大风则在3～4级以下。

Snow cover and snowmelt of an extensive High Arctic wetland: spatial and temporal seasonal patterns

Abstract

This study examined the end-of-winter snow storage, its distribution and the spatial and temporal melt patterns of a large, low gradient wetland at Polar Bear Pass, Bathurst Island, Nunavut, Canada. The project utilized a combination of field observations and a physically-based snowmelt model. Topography and wind were the major controls on snow distribution in the region, and snow was routinely scoured from the hilltop regions and deposited into hillslopes and valleys. Timing and duration of snowmelt at Polar Bear Pass were similar in 2008 and 2009. The snowmelt was initiated by an increase in air temperature and net radiation receipt. Inter-annual variability in spatial snowmelt patterns was evident at Polar Bear Pass and was attributed to a non-uniform snow cover distribution and local microclimate conditions. In situ field studies and modelling remain important in High Arctic regions for assessing wetland water budgets and runoff, in addition to model parameterization and validation of satellite imagery.

The Arunta Inlier: a complex ensialic mobile belt in central Australia. Part 1: Stratigraphy,correlations and origin

The Arunta Inlier is a 200 000 km² region of mainly Precambrian metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rock in central Australia. To the N it merges with similar rocks of lower metamorphic grade in the Tennant Creek Inlier, and to the NW it merges with schist and gneiss of The Granites‐Tanami Province. It is characterized by mafic and felsic meta‐igneous rocks, abundant silicic and aluminous metasediments and carbonate, and low‐ to medium‐pressure metamorphism. Hence, the Arunta Inlier is interpreted as a Proterozoic ensialic mobile belt floored by continental crust. The belt evolved over about 1500 Ma, and began with mafic and felsic volcanism and mafic intrusion in a latitudinal rift, followed by shale and limestone deposition, deformation, metamorphism and emergence. Flysch sedimentation and volcanism then continued in geosynclinal troughs flanking the ridge of meta‐igneous rocks, and were followed by platform deposition of thin shallow‐marine sediments, further deformation, and episodes of metamorphism and granite intrusion.     

Snow interception modelling: Isolated observations have led to many land surface models lacking appropriate temperature sensitivities

When formulating a hydrologic model, scientists rely on parameterizations of multiple processes based on field data, but literature review suggests that more frequently people select parameterizations that were included in pre-existing models rather than re-evaluating the underlying field experiments. Problems arise when limited field data exist, when “trusted” approaches do not get reevaluated, and when sensitivities fundamentally change in different environments. The physics and dynamics of snow interception by conifers is just such a case, and it is critical to simulation of the water budget and surface albedo. The most commonly used interception parameterization is based on data from four trees from one site, but results from this field study are not directly transferable to locations with relatively warmer winters, where the dominant processes differ dramatically. Here, we combine a literature review with model experiments to demonstrate needed improvements. Our results show that the choice of model form and parameters can vary the fraction of snow lost through interception by as much as 30%. In most simulations, the warming of mean winter temperatures from −7 to 0°C reduces the modelled fraction of snow under the canopy compared to the open, but the magnitude of simulated decrease varies from about 10% to 40%. The range of results is even larger when considering models that neglect the melting of in-canopy snow in higher-humidity environments where canopy sublimation plays less of a role. Thus, we recommend that all models represent canopy snowmelt and include representation of increased loading due to increased adhesion and cohesion when temperatures rise from −3 to 0°C. In addition to model improvements, field experiments across climates and forest types are needed to investigate how to best model the combination of dynamically changing forest cover and snow cover to better understand and predict changes to albedo and water supplies.

Effect of snow and soil frost melting on the concentrations of suspended solids and phosphorus in two rural watersheds in Western Finland

Hydrological processes are known to have a considerable effect on nutrient transport from agricultural land to watercourses. In cold temperate regions peak discharges are caused not only by storm conditions but also by melting of snow and frost. The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of snow and frost melt on concentrations of phosphorus and suspended solids. The samples were taken using flowweighted automatic sampling techniques from two agricultural drainage basins. During the beginning of the snowmelt period the concentration of suspended solids was rather low by comparison with the total phosphorus concentration and the discharge. The different behaviour compared with the relationships found during storm conditions was probably caused by continuous extraction of the soil surface by low ionic concentration melt water, and to some extent by leaching from plant residues. The gradual decrease of total phosphorus concentration during the frost thawing period could be attributed to the gradually increasing proportion of the subsurface and ground water discharge in the runoff.     

对于点苍山-石鼓变质带区域划分的意见

在以往的研究中,点苍山和哀牢山被认为是同一个变质带。对石鼓带的划分也有很大争议。本文通过岩石学和同位素年代学的研究,认为点苍山和石鼓变质带同为扬子基底的一部分,应属于滇东变质区。它们是在元谋-大红山群之上发育的一套中晚元古变质岩带,具陆内地台型火山-沉积的特点。

经过野外和室内工作,作者提出,西南秦岭与西南贵州都是铀-金-汞-锑-砷(主要是雄黄雌黄,有时毒砂也重要)-铊成矿带。铀矿床的存在使这两个成矿带似乎区别于卡林成矿带,但实际上三者大同小异。本文概略讨论西南秦岭与西南贵州成矿带铀矿床与金矿床的地质背景、矿物组合、微量元素与同位素化学及成矿机制并与卡林型金矿床对比。
