陕西一次强沙尘暴过程诊断与分析

2006年陕西共发生沙尘天气13次,其中4月11日的沙尘天气最为严重,危害最大,这也是陕西近10 a来最为严重的一次沙尘暴天气过程。这次沙尘天气带来一系列的天气演变过程,它持续时间虽然只有8~9 h,但覆盖面积大,影响范围广,全省70%~80%左右的区域都受到了影响。运用FY-2卫星红外云图及MICAPS2.0模式中的数值预报进行分析,发现红外云图呈现出异常状态,高低空形势配合较好,气压梯度、温度梯度密集,狂风突起等状况,试图揭示与解读沙尘天气在发生过程中某些气象因子的特征及其对沙尘天气的影响机理,为今后预报沙尘暴强度和发生区域提供一定的理论依据。     

Variations in Frequency and Intensity of Strong Tropical Cyclones Affecting China During

 Based on tropical cyclone track dataset in the western North Pacific from China Meteorological Administration (CMA), variations in frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the western North Pacific, affecting-China TCs (ACTCs) and landfall TCs (LTCs) achieving a typhoon intensity during 1957-2004 were studied. Frequencies of strong tropical cyclones showed significant decreasing trends from 1957 to 2004 and the linear trend was much greater when the intensity was stronger. There was no linear trend in the portion of strong tropical cyclones achieving a typhoon (TY) intensity, while those reaching a strong typhoon (STY) and a super typhoon (SuperTY) intensity showed decreasing trends during 1957-2004. The maximum intensities of TCs, ACTCs and LTCs all decreased during the period of 1957-2004. The mean intensities of TCs and ACTCs displayed decreasing trends and the mean intensity of LTCs achieving a TY intensity also showed a decreasing trend.     

1998~2003年伽师三次不同类型Ms6级地震震源破裂过程及短期内余震活动特征

利用大量远场观测地震图反演了新疆伽师地区三次不同机制类型M_s6级地震的破裂过程.结果表明,1998年8月2日M_s6.1级地震破裂尺度小,破裂过程简单,最大滑动量为12 cm,主破裂过程持续时间为8 s.1998年8月27日M_s6.5地震破裂过程的空间分布反映出双侧破裂特征,主破裂过程在前13 s基本完成,最大滑动量为63 cm,破裂面上起始破裂点两侧的滑动矢量方向不同.2003年2月24日M_s6.8地震的破裂过程最为复杂,震源时间函数由两次上升时间组成,破裂一共持续了32 s,最大滑动量为32 cm.研究表明,余震主要发生在主震破裂图像中大滑动量区域的外围或滑动量变化梯度较大的区域,主震后短期内发生的余震震源机制解也与破裂面上断层的错动方向一致,表明余震的位置和机制与主震破裂所引起的应力重新分布有关.     

汶川M_S8.0地震前地磁短临异常与强震预测探索

强震前地磁垂直分量日变化异常主要表现在幅度与相位上的变化.利用中国地磁台网多年观测资料,研究了2008年5月12日四川汶川8.0级地震前,地磁垂直分量日变极小值出现的时间(低点时间)在空间分布上的异常特征,即低点位移现象;并用此方法预测了汶川8.0级地震6级余震平静2个月后的一组6级强余震.这种少见的异常现象与强震发生有较好的相关性.发震日期为异常出现后的第27天或第41天的前后4天,强震发生地区在低点位移突变分界线附近.此外,还研究了汶川8.0级地震临震前,震中周围出现的地磁日变幅异常现象.

Analysis on the Characteristics of the Coseismic Response of Water Levels Recorded in Three Wells in Hainan,China to the Two Sumatra-Andaman Strong Earthquakes

The characteristics of seismic water level fluctuations of the two Sumatra-Andaman strong earthquakes with magnitude 8.7 and 8.5 on December 26,2004 and March 29, 2005 recorded at Jiaji well, Qionghai, Hainan were analyzed, the features of the infrequent ＂step＂ changes of well water level after the two earthquakes were also analyzed and the mechanism of the ＂step change＂ of well water level was discussed. Then the high-sample-rate digital observation data of seismically-induced water level fluctuations of the Sumatra-Andaman strong earthquakes with magnitude 8.7 and 8.5 recorded at Nanbin well, Sanya and Tanniu well, Wenchang were analyzed. The results suggest that the dominant period of the seismic well water level fluctuation in all three wells was comparatively accordant, the amplitudes of seismic water level fluctuation of the same earthquake in different wells were clearly different, the time duration of seismic water level fluctuations of different earthquakes at the same well was also clearly different.     

基于精确权函数的仪器响应失真校正方法与算例

当前,经仪器响应失真校正后,加速度计有效观测频带通常为0至1倍自振频率,这限制了强震仪应用领域的延拓。有鉴于此,本文提出一个基于精确权函数的仪器响应失真校正方法并给出一个验证算例。分析表明:较之现有方法,新方法兼有高精度和高效率的优点,并可以将力平衡式加速度计的有效观测频带至少延拓3倍,对于拓展强震仪的应用领域具有重要意义。     

利用GPS连续观测资料进行强震危险性预测的探讨

中国地壳运动观测网络基准站自1999运行以来已经积累了8年多的观测资料,目前针对地震预测、观测对象和数据处理方法,广义地提出了"点、线、面"的分析方法。实际应用表明,利用"线"的分析方法可能是比较好的方法,它最大的优点是在恰当的空间范围内不但可降低噪声,而且可突出异态信息。在目前较低测控能力的基础上,可通过全空间扫描与现象分析发现:①距昆仑山口西地震震中最近的德令哈观测站相对于拉萨观测站在震前较早的时间,其EW向就出现了缓慢变化,乃至闭锁(或无差异变化),直至地震发生为止,持续时间超过2年,闭锁数值10 mm以上,震后恢复正常;②云南地区数次强震震前下关观测站相对于泸州观测站EW向出现了闭锁或低于正常的变化,2003年强震之后恢复正常;最近的普洱强震自2006年初EW与SN向均出现了相对闭锁,两个方向的数值分别接近和达到10 mm;此外,每阶段异常的持续时间均超过1年;③塔什—乌什间EW向在新疆巴楚地震前出现了闭锁性活动,时间2年以上,数值约10 mm,震后恢复正常;目前SN向有相对闭锁迹象,并正在趋于明朗;④鼎新—西宁间EW方向有相对闭锁的迹象,但时间尚短;⑤通过寻找相对"闭锁"区段有可能成为判定强震危险性存在与否的主要方法。由此推测,若普洱6.4级地震后闭锁不解除,川滇菱形块体的西边界构造带及周围地区仍是近期强震最有可能发生的地区,其次是新疆的西天山地区,目前青藏高原东北缘尚不明朗。     

Numerical simulation of strong ground motion for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Subscript>s</Subscript>8.0 Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008

The Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008 is the most destructive earthquake in China in the past 30 years in terms of property damage and human losses. In order to understand the earthquake process and the geo-morphological factors affecting the seismic hazard, we simulated the strong ground motion caused by the earthquake, incorporating three-dimensional (3D) earth structure, finite-fault rupture, and realistic surface topography. The simulated ground motions reveal that the fault rupture and basin structure control the overall pattern of the peak ground shaking. Large peak ground velocity (PGV) is distributed in two narrow areas: one with the largest PGV values is above the hanging wall of the fault and attributed to the locations of fault asperities and rupture directivity; the other is along the northwestern margin of the Sichuan Basin and caused by both the directivity of fault rupture and the amplification in the thick sediment basin. Rough topography above the rupture fault causes wave scattering, resulting in significantly larger peak ground motion on the apex of topographic relief than in the valley. Topography and scattering also reduce the wave energy in the forward direction of fault rupture but increase the PGV in other parts of the basin. These results suggest the need for a localized hazard assessment in places of rough topography that takes the topographic effects into account. Finally, had the earthquake started at the northeast end of the fault zone and ruptured to the southwest, Chengdu would have suffered a much stronger shaking than it experienced on 12 May, 2008.

Strong motion uncertainty determined from observed records by dense network in Japan

The variation of ground motions at specific stations from events in six narrow areas was inspected by using K-NET and KiK-net records. A source-area factor for individual observation stations was calculated by averaging ratios between observed values for horizontal peak acceleration and velocity, as well as acceleration response spectra for 5% damping, and predicted values using a ground-motion model (usually known as an attenuation relation) by Kanno et al. (Bull Seismol Soc Am, 96:879–897, 2006). Standard deviations between observed and predicted amplitudes after the correction factor are less than 0.2 on the logarithmic scale and decrease down to around 0.15 in the short-period range. Intra-event standard deviation clearly increases with decreasing distance due to differing paths around near source area. Standard deviations may increase with amplitude or decrease with magnitude; however, both amplitude and magnitude of the data are strongly correlated with distance. The standard deviation calculated in this study is obviously much smaller than that of the original ground-motion model, as epistemic uncertainties are minimized by grouping ground motions at specific stations. This result indicates that the accuracy of strong ground motion prediction could be improved if ground-motion models for specified region are determined individually. For this to be possible, it is necessary to have dense strong-motion networks in high-seismicity regions, such as K-NET and KiK-net.
