Geomagnetic diurnal-variation anomalies and their relation to strong earthquakes

Introduction The occurrence of earthquake has relations not only with seismogenic process of source area,but also with the environment of inner (earth space) and outer (earth-sun space). The varyinggeomagnetic field is natural medium that connects with both factors (DING, 1988). There are two kinds of basic ideas using the diurnal-variation anomalies of the verti-cal-component (Z) in geomagnetic field to predict earthquake. The first kind is local geomagneticanomalies that are obta…     

Parameter estimation of the stochastic AMR model and its application to the study of several strong earthquakes

Introduction According to many published papers, seismicity in time-space domain shows some characteristics, such as doughnut epicenter distribution (Mogi, 1969) or quiescence of seismic activity before large earthquakes (WANG, et al, 2002), and aftershock decay (Ogata, 1998). In recent years, more and more seismologists (Lynnr, Steven, 1990) have found that many strong earthquakes are preceded by enhancing regional seismicity and accelerating strain energy release (ZHANG, et al, 2001).

The GIS and analysis of earthquake damage distribution of the 1303 Hongtong M=8 earthquake

Introduction The 1303 Hongtong earthquake is an important earthquake in the eastern China. There is a lot of information in historical documents about the earthquake and many traces destroyed by the earthquake in the southern Shanxi Province. Many scholars have studied the earthquake from dif-ferent aspects, but mainly limited the definitions of the isoseismal and three factors of the earth-quake. Owing to being limited by the analysis technique, many useful damage information of the earthqu…

鄂尔多斯北缘断陷盆地区强震孕育的卫星遥感影像研究

利用多时相、多波段卫星图像,研究1979年五原6.0级地震、1989年大同-阳高6.1级地震和1996年包头西6.4级地震震区的构造活动信息,结合前人的烈度调查资料,探讨这些强震发生的地质构造环境。研究表明:1979年五原6.0级地震发生在NE向海子堰断裂与NW向五原西断裂交会的部位。五原6.0级地震高烈度区等震线长轴呈NE向,与海子堰断裂一致,是五原地震的发震构造。1996年包头西6.4级地震发生在由陡崖和沟槽地貌显示的NEE向乌拉山北缘断裂与NW向新生砂石厂断裂交会的部位。包头西6.4级地震高烈度区等震线长轴呈NE向,与乌拉山北缘断裂接近,该断裂是包头西6.4级地震的发震构造。2次地震高烈度区长轴与低烈度区长轴走向相差近90°,这是因为除发震构造外,烈度区还受一组与之交会的共轭断裂活动的影响。1989年大同-阳高6.1级地震,发生在从六棱山腹地向大同-阳高盆地延伸的NNE向大王村-西要泉断裂上,该断裂是大同-阳高地震的发震构造     

200 hPa高空急流与宁夏春季沙尘暴过程的特征分析

 利用NCAR/NCEP全球再分析资料，首先分析了1955年到2003年宁夏春季沙尘暴过程与200 hPa急流的关系，发现2月、3月200 hPa的U、V风场与宁夏春季沙尘暴关系密切。然后对1970\_1999年66次宁夏强和特强沙尘暴过程发生前200 hPa急流的演变情况进行了分析，结果表明：宁夏强和特强沙尘暴过程发生前后，高空急流主要表现为3种类型：一是西风急流型;二是副热带急流型;三是西风急流与副热带急流振荡合并型。最后以2001年4月8日宁夏特强沙尘暴天气过程为例，对其发生前后高空急流演变与沙尘暴落区、垂直环流特征及其对沙尘暴的作用进行了分析和探讨，得到了一些新的启示。     

Study on strength reduction factors considering the effect of classification of design earthquake

Introduction The strength reduction factor is defined as the lateral yielding strength required to avoid yielding in the system when subjected to a given ground motion, to the lateral yielding strength required to maintain the displacement ductility ratio demand equal to a pre-determined target duc-tility ratio under the same ground motion. The strength reduction factors are not only the key fac-tors in determining seismic action for force-based seismic design, but also one of the key parame-t…     

强垂直温度梯度条件下强对流天气分析与潜势预报

采用19年3~9月常规探空观测资料,对南昌ΔT850-500≥27℃这种强垂直温度梯度与江西强对流天气过程的关系进行了相关分析,并将区域强对流天气、局部强对流天气、无强对流天气的3类情况下的中低层气压、温度、湿度、风场及稳定度进行分类合成分析,结果表明:当南昌ΔT850-500≥27℃时,且有天气系统作为触发条件时,江西强对流天气发生的概率达85%;中低层低槽和切变等影响系统、江南华南暖湿气流、河套地区的冷空气都有利于江西强对流天气出现。对典型个例的探空曲线和对流有效位能分析表明:强垂直温度梯度结合中低层高湿度是强对流天气发生的重要条件。在强对流天气潜势预报中,强垂直温度梯度有时比对流有效位能更有指示性。根据上述分析结果,建立了相应的预报流程,并在业务试用中取得较好的效果。     

2002年北京风沙季节颗粒物测值分析

为了了解风沙季节的颗粒物浓度特征,特别是在风沙天气来临前后颗粒物浓度的变化,2002年春季分别在北京的延庆和观象台进行了连续的颗粒物观测,并对观测资料进行了较为详细的统计分析。结果表明:在风沙季节,沙尘天气出现前后的颗粒物浓度变化幅度非常显著,对环境质量的影响明显增大;TSP与PM10,PM10与PM2.5的相关性非常显著,线性关系好。沙尘天气对不同粒径颗粒物浓度贡献的增加在33%~86%之间。
