秦岭山地气候变化的地形效应

研究不同地形下的山地气候变化对于植被生长、不同动物种群的生存习性及对气候的应激性有重要意义。本文基于陕西秦岭地区1959—2016年32个国家站的日气温和降水资料,采用Anusplin插值法、标准化降水蒸散指数(SPEI)、稳健回归和Theil-sen回归法等方法分析了山区地形对气候变化的影响。结论如下:(1)58年来秦岭四个坡向上年均温度随着海拔的升高呈现显著下降趋势,年降水随着海拔的升高呈现不同程度的上升趋势。温度随坡度的增加表现出下降趋势;除秦岭南坡西段外,降水随着坡度的增加呈现出上升趋势,但均不显著。(2)年尺度上,秦岭山地南坡和南坡东段的气温呈显著增温趋势,南坡西段和北坡呈不显著增温趋势;四个方向上的降水均呈显著下降趋势。秦岭山地四个方向上的干湿等级为正常,北坡和南坡西段的干湿状况一致,58年年均SPEI均为0.07,南坡东段较暖湿(0.08),南坡较暖干(0.05)。(3)季节尺度上,秦岭山地四个方向上除了夏季外,其他季节的气温均表现出不同程度的升温趋势,降水均呈下降趋势。秦岭四个方向上四季干湿变化属于正常等级。秦岭北坡出现春季干暖化趋势;南坡秋季较暖湿;南坡东段和西段的冬季呈暖湿化特征;南坡西段夏季呈现暖干化特征。     

对青藏东北缘现今块体划分、运动及变形的初步研究

利用2维非连续变形分析方法（DDA），以位移代替围压作为边界约束力，研究青藏东北缘现今块体划分及其运动变形。根据该地区地质构造及地震活动，以GPS点测量位移作为模拟结果约束点，得出了较合理的块体划分模型和随时间演化的主应变分布图，并把应变高值区与近几年来发生的5级以上地震作对比，得出了研究区内地震危险性可能较大的区域。另外，对模拟的甘青块体与阿拉善块体的边缘带断裂左旋运动做了大概计算。     

Revisiting Sustainable Development of Dry Valleys in Hengduan Mountains Region

Dry valleys are a striking geographic landscape in Hengduan Mountains Region and are characterized by low rainfall, desert type of vegetation and fragile environment. Past efforts and resources have been concentrated mainly on rehabilitation of degraded ecosystem and fragile environment, particularly reforestation, while socio-economic development has been largely overlooked. Despite successes in pocket areas, the overall trend of unsustainability and environmental deterioration are continuing. It is important to understand that uplift of the Tibetan Plateau is the root cause of development of dry valleys, and development and formation of dry valleys is a natural process. Human intervention has played a secondary role in development of dry valleys and degradation of dry valleys though human intervention in many cases has speeded up environmental degradation of the dry valleys. It is important to understand that dry valleys are climatic enclaves and an integrated approach that combines rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems and socio-economic development should be adopted if the overall goal of sustainable development of dry valleys is to be achieved. Promotion of niche-based cash crops, rural energy including hydropower, solar energy, biogas and fuelwood plantation is recommended as the priority activities.

气候波动在我国近期湖泊变化中的作用

19世纪晚期以来,我国大多数湖泊都表现出湖水位的强烈波动变化。低湖面期发生在本世纪初至30年代及自60年代以来时期;而在本世纪40年代湖泊水位普遍比现代要高出2—4米。大多数的研究者都将湖水位的这种变化,尤其是60年代以来的水位下降,归咎于人类活动的影响。但是,本文的研究表明自60年代以来,我国仍有些地区河湖水位上升,并且这些地区人类活动影响也十分强烈;而在青藏高原,尽管人类活动影响微弱,湖水位却下降强烈。进一步的分析证实河湖水位变化与降雨量变化的地区差异一致;并且变化强烈区呈东北——西南向带状分布,与控制我国主要降雨量分布的极锋位置平行一致。在时间上,40年代前后的高湖面期,同时也是气温和降雨量明显偏高的所谓“20世纪温暖期”。     

Contrast between the Climatic States of the Warm Pool in the Indian Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean

Based on the analysis of Levitus data, the climatic states of the warm pool in the Indian Ocean (WPIO) and in the Pacific Ocean (WPPO) are studied. It is found that WPIO has a relatively smaller area, a shallower bottom and a slightly lower seawater temperature than those of WPPO. The horizontal area at different depths, volumes, central positions, and bottom depths of both WPIO and WPPO show quite apparent signals of seasonal variation. The maximum amplitude of WPIO surface area‘s seasonal variation is 58% larger over the annual mean value. WPIO‘s maximum volume variation amplitude is 66% larger over the annual mean value. The maximum variation amplitudes of the surface area and volume of WPPO are 20.9% and 20.6% larger over the annual mean value respectively. WPIO and WPPO show different temporal and spatial characteristics mainly due to the different wind fields and restriction of ocean basin geometry. For instance, seasonal northern displacement of WPIO is, to some extent, constrained by the basin of the Indian Ocean, while WPPO moves relatively freely in the longitudinal direction. The influence of WPIO and WPPO over the atmospheric motion must be quite different.

The Geologic Time Scale and the Italian stratigraphic record

The construction of the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) is a titanic scientific challenge that has been under way for two centuries and will require much dedicated effort in the future. Italy preserves a paramount stratigraphic record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine sediments that have been significant in the development of the modern GTS. The Italian stratigraphic record has been histori-cally important in introducing and defining the standard Chronostratigraphic Units (CUs) of the Neogene and Quaternary. Pelagic successions from Northern Apen-nines and Southern Alps have been used in the seventies for integrating the late Cretaceous-Paleogene Geomag-netic Polarity Time Scale (GPTS) with planktonic microfossil biostratieraohv and standard CUs. This was a major contribution to the construction of a new gener-ation of GTS based on integrated magnetobiochronol-ogy. The middle Miocene to early Pleistocene marinerecord from Sicily and southern Italy has been funda-mental for establishing the recently developed Astro-nomical Time Scale (ATS). In prospect, there are many potentials still to be exploited in the Italian marine stratigraphic record for implementing the GTS by defin-ing GSSPs of various CUs, improving magneto-biochronology and extending downwards the ATS.
