U—Series Dating of Fossil Bones：Results from Chinese Sites and Discussions on Its Reliability

Calculations,according to some open-system models,point out that while a statistically significant discrepancy between the results of two U-series methods,^230Th/^234U and ^227Th/^220Th(or ^231Pa/^235U),attests a relatively recent and important uranium migration,concordant dates cannot guarantee closes-system behavior of sample.The results of 20 fossil bones from 10 Chinese sites,19 of which are determined by two U-series methods,are given,Judging from independent age controls,8 out of the 11 concordant age sets are unacceptable,The results in this paper suggest that uranium may cycle into or out of fossil bones,such geochemical events may take place at any time and no known preserving condition may securely protect them from being affected.So for the sitew we have studied,the U-series dating of fossil bones is of limited reliability.

Intraseasonal Oscillation of the South China Sea Summer Monsoon and Its Influence on Regionally Persistent Heavy Rain over Southern China

The intraseasonal oscillation（ISO） in the South China Sea summer monsoon（SCSSM） and its influence on regionally persistent heavy rain（RPHR） over southern China are examined by using satelhte outgoing long wave radiation,NCEP/NCAR reanalysis,and gridded rainfall station data in China from 1981 to 2010.The most important feature of the ISO in SCSSM,contributing to the modulation of RPHR,is found to be the fluctuation in the western Pacific subtropical high（WPSH）,along with a close link to the Madden-Julian oscillation（MJO）.Southern China is divided into three regions by using rotated empirical orthogonal functions（REOFs）for intraseasonal rainfall,where the incidence rate of RPHR is closely linked to the intraseasonal variation in rainfall.It is found that SCSSM ISOs are the key systems controlling the intraseasonal variability in rainfall and can be described by the leading pair of empirical orthogonal functions（EOFs） for the 850-hPa zonal wind over the SCS and southern China.Composite analyses based on the principal components（PCs） of the EOFs indicate that the ISO process in SCSSM exhibits as the east-west oscillation of the WPSH,which is coupled with the northward-propagating MJO,creating alternating dry and wet phases over southern China with a period of 40 days.The wet phases provide stable and lasting circulation conditions that promote RPHR.However,differences in the ISO structures can be found when RPHR occurs in regions where the WPSH assumes different meridional positions.Further examination of the meridional-phase structure suggests an important role of northward-propagating ISO and regional air-sea interaction in the ISO process in SCSSM.     

Isolation and biological characteristics of aerobic marine magnetotactic bacterium YSC-1

1 INTRODUCTION Magnetotactic bacteria are able to respond and orient along the direction of terrestrial or artificial magnetic field, a behavior referred to as magneto- taxis. In the majority of magnetotactic bacteria, the magnetosomes are 25–120 nm in d…     

NCEP/CFS模式对东亚夏季延伸预报的检验评估

利用NCEP的气候预报系统（Climate Forecast System, CFS）所提供的1981—2004年历史回报试验结果,检验和评估了该系统对夏季东亚地区大气环流的预报技巧和系统误差;在此基础上通过提取模式预报和观测的10~20 d及30~60 d低频振荡分量,重点对我国南方3次典型持续性暴雨过程的预报技巧进行检验和诊断分析。结果表明:CFS系统对东亚整体大气环流逐日预报的可靠时效为5 d左右,60°N以北的对流层中高层高度场预报系统性偏低,而在40°~60°N则为系统性偏高。系统性误差随预报时间的延长而增加,但10 d以上预报的系统性误差大小和空间分布逐渐趋于稳定;CFS系统对低频分量的延伸期预报技巧好于对其整体大气环流的预报技巧,并且在典型持续性暴雨过程中,CFS系统对影响强降水过程的主要环流系统低频振荡特征有一定预报能力。     

兰州市城市热岛效应与地表指数定量分析

针对现有兰州市城市热岛效应研究多以地面气象站的观测资料为数据源,以遥感影像为数据源较少的现状,该文利用Landsat 8影像,研究了兰州市城市热岛效应与修改后的土壤调节植被指数(MSAVI)、增强型水体指数(EWI)、土壤亮度指数(NDSI)、土壤湿度指数(NDMI)之间的关系。结果表明,兰州城市热岛效应较为严重,城市热岛效应与土壤湿度指数、增强型水体指数、土壤亮度指数呈正相关,与修改后的土壤调节植被指数呈负相关。     

鄂西白垩纪远安盆地的变形带构造

鄂西白垩纪远安盆地中大量发育变形带及其密切相关的断层,主要分为两期,早期为带有正断性质的北北东向组变形带及简单的正断层,形成在同沉积或早成岩阶段,而晚期为带走滑性质的北-南向组和北东向组变形带及复活断层,形成在白垩纪以后.根据实测的共轭变形带和断层滑动数据,古应力分析的结果表明,早期为北西西-南东东向拉张的伸展状态,而...     

ESR dating of dental enamel from Middle Palaeolithic levels at Lazaret Cave,France

ESR dating was carried out on Cervus elaphus tooth enamel samples from the depositional sequence of Lazaret Cave, Nice, France. The deposits contain Anteneandertal hominid fossils associated with abundant lithic artefacts and faunal remains. Three samples from the Mousterian occupations in complex CIII (Fouille d'entrée) yielded early uptake (EU) ages between 108 and 125 ka and linear uptake (LU) ages between 133 and 160 ka. Seven samples from the Acheulian levels in the upper part of the complex CII (Fouille d'entrée and Fouille centre) gave EU ages between 113 and 165 ka and LU ages between 147 and 210 ka, with weighted means at 131 ± 7 and 165 ± 9 ka, respectively. The results of six enamel samples from the lower Acheulian levels at Locus VIII, another place in the cave, were discarded because of their decreasing tendency with depth. The US–ESR combination method was also applied and the CSUS–ESR dates were calculated using the ESR-DATA program. Altogether, the data suggest that the Lazaret Acheulian and Mousterian occupations were rapidly formed during OIS 6.     

湖南湘东钨矿含矿石英脉辉钼矿Re-Os定年及地质意义

湘东钨矿是一个典型的石英脉型钨锡多金属矿床,发育百余条含矿石英脉,矿脉陡立,从北到南走向呈NE、NEE和EW向,反映了矿脉形成时处于近NW-SE向区域拉伸状态。矿区内的老山坳断层分割了重要的南、北两组矿脉。北组脉具有毒砂-黄铜矿-黑钨矿等矿物组合,富含金属硫化物,多具有平行脉壁的条带状构造;南组脉则主要体现辉钼矿-黑钨矿-黄铜矿-闪锌矿-方铅矿等矿物组合,金属硫化物含量较少,具有块状构造。本次研究通过对南组脉辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年,获得等时线年龄为150.4±1.5 Ma(MSWD=0.52),模式年龄加权平均值为150.7±2.3 Ma(MSWD=0.10),代表成矿时间。含矿石英脉的形成略晚于区内燕山期二云母花岗岩(154.4±2.2 Ma)和煌斑岩(152.1±0.9 Ma)的侵位,指示含矿石英脉在成因上与燕山早期岩浆活动密切相关。事实上,包括湘东钨矿在内的南岭钨锡多金属成矿省均形成于165~150 Ma期间,具有统一的地球动力学背景,即由太平洋板块俯冲和俯冲板片断离所引起的弧后伸展环境。     

热电离质谱法测定贵州郑家洞石笋的铀系年代及其古气候意义

本文报道了用高精度热电离质谱（ＴＩＭＳ）法测定的贵州郑家洞ＡＺＪ－２号石笋的铀系年代。该石笋经历了三个速度不同的生长阶段，顶部９０ｃｍ及底部２１ｃｍ生长迅速，ＴＩＭＳ铀系法高分辨率年代结果仍不足以给出其确切的生长速率。精确建立碳氧同位素演化时间坐标的困难，应是从新生碳酸盐提取古气候演变信息的重要制约因素之一。ＡＺＪ－２的生长起止年代为距今１４．７￣１３．８万年，贵州在此期间可能处于温暖湿润的气候条
