Analysis of Temperature Trends and Variations in the Arabian Peninsula’s Upper Atmosphere

In this study, the trends of upper-air temperatures are analysed by utilising radiosonde observations for the barometric levels at 700, 500, 300, 200, 150, 100 and 50 hPa from five meteorological stations within the Arabian Peninsula from January 1986 to August 2015. The mean monthly variations of the temperatures at these levels are characterised and established. The magnitudes of the annual trends of the mean temperatures for each site for the selected barometric levels are studied and statistically tested using Mann-Kendall rank statistics at different significance levels. The temperature trends at different pressure levels show that the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere are warming, while the middle troposphere is cooling which is consistent with the findings of other studies. The variations in upper air temperature observed in this study can be attributed to a range of factors, including increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, variations in solar activity, aerosols and volcanic eruptions, and land use and land cover change.

Distribution and risk assessment of heavy metals in surface sediments of coastal mudflats on Leizhou Peninsula,China

Mudflats play a vital role in maintaining the dynamic balance between sea and land.To understand the characteristics,sources,and pollution risks of six heavy metals(As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Hg,and Pb)in the coastal mudflats on the Leizhou Peninsula,257 surface sediment samples were studied using mathematical statistics,correlation analysis,and factor analysis.The results show that the overall concentrations of these heavy metals are low although there are several high abnormal points in the local areas.The strong correlation between these heavy metals indicates that the sources of some of the metals are similar,yet their elemental combinations in different cities(counties)varied.According to the calculated enrichment factor(EF),anthropogenic activity-induced heavy metals were determined in order of decreasing influence:As,Cd,Pb,Cr,Cu,and Hg.The low EF values of Hg indicate that it does not present as a contaminant in the study area,while low values of Cr and Cu from the Lianjiang City suggest that these two metals were also attributed to natural sources.The presence of As,Cd,Cr,Cu,and Pb from the remaining cities(counties)should be influenced by anthropogenic activities.The overall potential ecological risk index indicates that the ecological risks posed by the six analyzed heavy metals to the Leizhou Peninsula mudflats,in order of decreasing risk,are Cd,As,Hg,Pb,Cu,and Cr.It is noteworthy that only Cd in Lianjiang City demonstrated substantial ecological risk.Other examined heavy metals in other cities of the study area showed slight ecological risk.

Enhanced Seasonal Predictability of Spring Soil Moisture over the Indo-China Peninsula for Eastern China Summer Precipitation under Non-ENSO Conditions

Seasonal prediction of summer precipitation over eastern China is closely linked to the East Asian monsoon circulation,which is largely affected by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO).In this study,results show that spring soil moisture(SM)over the Indo-China peninsula(ICP)could be a reliable seasonal predictor for eastern China summer precipitation under non-ENSO conditions.When springtime SM anomalies are present over the ICP,they trigger a structured response in summertime precipitation over most of eastern China.The resultant south-to-north,tri-polar configuration of precipitation anomalies has a tendency to yield increased(decreased)precipitation in the Yangtze River basin and decreased(increased)in South and North China with a drier(wetter)spring soil condition in the ICP.The analyses show that ENSO exerts a powerful control on the East Asian circulation system in the ENSO-decaying summer.In the case of ENSO forcing,the seasonal predictability of the ICP spring SM for eastern China summer precipitation is suppressed.However,in the absence of the influence of ENSO sea surface temperature anomalies from the preceding winter,the SM anomalies over the ICP induce abnormal local heating and a consequent geopotential height response owing to its sustained control on local temperature,which could,in turn,lead to abnormal eastern China summer precipitation by affecting the East Asian summer monsoon circulation.The present findings provide a better understanding of the complexity of summer climate predictability over eastern China,which is of potential significance for improving the livelihood of the people.

Gold mineralization in Jiaodong Peninsula and destruction of North China Craton:Insights from Mesozoic granite

Large-scale tectonic magmatism and extensive gold mineralization have occurred in the eastern North China Craton(NCC)(Jiaodong and Liaodong peninsulas)since Mesozoic,which indicated that the region experienced decratonization process.The genesis type of granites evolved from S-type to I-type and A-type during Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous,and thus reflects the evolution of geodynamics in the Late Mesozoic,indicating the varied subduction process of the Paleo-Pacific Plate(PPP)and the craton destruction.The evolution of geochemical features shows that the mantle beneath the Jiaodong Peninsula evolved from EM-II in Jurassic to EM-I in Early Cretaceous,demonstrating that the mantle switched from enriched to depleted.The gold of decratonic gold deposits in Jiaodong Peninsula mainly comes from the lithospheric mantle domains metasomatized by fluids derived from the metamorphism and dehydration of the subducted slab in the mantle transition zone.The rapid decomposition of minerals leads to the concentrated release of ore-forming fluids,and this process leads to the explosive gold mineralization during the craton destruction.Extensive magmatic uplift and extensional structures,triggered by the craton destruction in Early Cretaceous formed the extensional tectonic system,providing space for the decratonic gold deposits in Jiaodong Peninsula.

Effects of Spring Biomass Burning in the Indochina Peninsula on May Precipitation in South China

Each year, during the dry season that precedes the summer wind and rainfall Indo-China Peninsula (ICP), significant biomass burning occurs and reaches its peak from March to April. This biomass burning generates large amounts of aerosols that impact East Asia and surrounding areas through the Asian monsoon. This study aims to investigate the potential connection between biomass burning over the ICP and precipitation in South China during May, along with the physical processes involved. The analysis is based on GLDAS soil moisture reanalysis data and CPC (NOAA) precipitation data covering the period from 1980 to 2021. The research findings indicate a negative (positive) correlation between biomass burning in the ICP region during spring and precipitation in the same region (South China) during May. The circulation patterns corresponding to years with biomass-burning emission anomalies are further investigated, and the impact of biomass-burning emissions in spring on soil moisture and temperature is examined. The results suggest that biomass-burning emissions can significantly affect atmospheric circulation and precipitation, ultimately leading to anomalous precipitation in South China.

Variations and relations between chlorophyll concentrations and physical-ecological processes near the West Antarctic Peninsula

The West Antarctic Peninsula(WAP)region is one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the Southern Ocean that support the food web for phytoplankton,krill spawning or recruitment and several krill consumers at higher-trophic level like penguins and Antarctic fur seals.Characterized by channels and islands,the complex topography of the WAP generates interconnected circulation patterns,strongly influencing vertical stratification,nutrient availability and distribution of marine organisms.Additionally,rapid climate change associated with major climate modes like the Southern Annular Mode(SAM)and El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)has significant effects on long-term variations of physical environments and biological production.The objective of this study is to reveal the spatial-temporal variations of phytoplankton biomass in the WAP region and the modulating physical-ecological processes.By using 9-year hydrographic and ecological data of five transects collected by the Palmer Long-Term Ecosystem Research,the horizontal and vertical distributions of several physical and ecological properties,with a particular focus on chlorophyll(Chl)concentration were explored.Regression analysis among area-averaged properties and properties at single stations was performed to reveal the relationship between the interannual variations of physical and ecological processes.The correlation results showed that Chl concentration exhibited a positive relationship with both the circumpolar deep water(CDW)intrusion and vertical stratification,but showed a negative correlation with SAM at some specific stations.However,certain processes or mechanisms may only be dominant for specific stations and not applicable to the entire region.No single physical or ecological factors have been found to significantly influence the Chl distribution throughout the WAP region,which may be attributed to the heterogeneity of sea ice conditions,geometry and hydrodynamic features as well as variations in nutrient sources.

Distinct impacts of two kinds of El Nino on precipitation over the Antarctic Peninsula and West Antarctica in austral spring

本文基于多种再分析资料,研究了中部型(CP)和东部型(EP)ElNino事件对南半球春季(9-11月)西南极和南极半岛降水的不同影响.结果显示,EP和CP事件对阿蒙森-别林斯高晋海的降水具有相似影响,而对威德尔海,特别是南极半岛的降水影响相反.由于EP事件激发两支罗斯贝波列,分别引起罗斯-阿蒙森-别林斯高森海和威德尔海上空的异常反气旋和气旋,从而导致别林斯高晋-威德尔海和南极半岛受到干冷的异常偏南风影响,降水减少.然而,CP事件仅激发一支相对较弱且偏西的罗斯贝波列,分别引起罗斯-阿蒙森海和别林斯高晋-威德尔海上空的异常反气旋和气旋,从而导致南极半岛以西(东)受异常偏南(北)风影响,降水减少(增加).

Physical and Mechanical Features of the Quaternary Basanites of the Cap-Vert Peninsula of Dakar (Senegal, West Africa)

This work presents the results of geotechnical tests carried out in the laboratory on specimens of Quaternary olivine basanites from the Cap-Vert peninsula of Dakar. The samples were taken following geotechnical investigations in the Fann-PE, Mermoz-Ouakam, Yoff and Ngor areas respectively. The results obtained show a dry density between 20.45 and 29.30 kN/m3 which corresponds to medium to high density basanites. The porosity varies between 0.33% and 4.20%. For microlitic basanites, the porosity remains low, on the other hand, for micrograined basanites;a slight increase in porosity is noticed. As for the methylene blue adsorption test value measured, it is between 0.25 and 1.10. The uniaxial compression strength (Rc) and Young’s modulus (E) vary respectively from 12.19 MPa to 41.748 MPa and from 1477.6 MPa to 7699.1 MPa. The low strength values are recorded in altered and vesicular basanites. Also, a correlation was made between uniaxial compression strength and porosity and showed a gradual decrease in strength with increasing porosity.

辽东兰花岭地区古元古代Ⅰ型花岗岩类与辽吉A型花岗岩对比研究

辽东半岛是华北克拉通胶-辽-吉古元古代活动带的重要组成部分,古元古代经历了复杂的构造演化过程,并记录了多期岩浆-变质作用,约2.2 Ga的辽吉A型花岗岩和1.89~1.85 Ga的巨斑状花岗岩、正长岩分别标志着辽东古元古代造山作用的开端和结束。最新研究显示,2.20~2.15 Ga的岩浆作用形成了2种不同类型的花岗岩,它们可能具有不同的岩石成因和构造意义。在青城子铅锌矿集区北部采集的兰花岭、白砬子花岗闪长岩和黄泊辉绿岩,锆石U-Pb年龄分别为2177±19 Ma、2129±36 Ma、1876±29 Ma。花岗闪长岩的岩石成因类型、地球化学特征与典型的约2.2 Ga的辽吉A型花岗岩明显不同,属于弱过铝质、低钾钙碱性—碱性岩石,Zr、Hf、Nb、Rb含量较低,K_(2)O/Na_(2)O值、稀土元素总量极低,为典型的Ⅰ型花岗岩类。根据锆石Lu-Hf同位素分析,ε_(Hf)(t)值为-5.1~9.0,二阶段Hf模式年龄t_(DM2)为2089~2817 Ma,岩浆源区为约2.5 Ga的太古宙地壳物质和少量软流圈地幔物质。兰花岭地区花岗闪长岩具备岛弧或活动大陆边缘的地球化学亲缘属性,可能形成于弧岩浆俯冲挤压环境;结合形成于伸展环境的A型条痕状花岗岩特征,认为约2.2 Ga辽东地区古元古代活动带呈现总体伸展、局部挤压的构造环境,为洋壳板块向龙岗地块俯冲碰撞过程中或碰撞后的弧后盆地。

2024年1月1日能登半岛M_(W)7.5地震作为一个可能的“龙王”事件

本文试图探讨,从“龙王”理论的角度看,2024年1月1日日本能登半岛M_(W)7.5地震是否可被视为一次“龙王”事件.本文分析了日本气象厅(JMA)2004年以来的地震矩张量解目录,针对样本数不够多的情况,用“级序分析”方法确定这一M_(W)7.5事件是否显著偏离Gutenberg-Richter幂律.结果表明在2006至2024年期间,M_(W)7.5地震还不能被视为显著的“龙王”事件;但在2021至2024年期间,该地震作为一次“龙王”事件特点十分明显,这一结果似乎与2020年底以来出现了复杂的前兆行为的报道吻合,标志着“龙王”事件的某种可预报性.本文建议,根据以往的研究结果,对这次地震的震源过程和余震序列进行详细刻画,附之以对地震前兆的回溯性研究,或可有助于“地震龙王”理论本身的发展和地震预测研究的进步.本文还讨论了“黑天鹅”事件、“龙王”事件及“灰犀牛”事件的相互关系,这几个概念是近年来减灾领域讨论较多的概念.

胶西北金矿控矿断裂深部特征及对找矿的启示——来自地球物理探测的证据

[研究目的]胶东是全球著名的金成矿区,金矿床主要受断裂构造控制,该区尚有很多断裂是无矿的,以往对断裂的深部形态及赋矿断裂与无矿断裂的区别特征缺乏深入研究。[研究方法]本文通过在胶东西北部实施重、磁、电长剖面和穿越主要金矿集区的广域电磁剖面、反射地震剖面,揭示了断裂深部特征,为赋矿断裂和无矿断裂的识别提供了重要证据。[研究结果]地球物理探测表明,胶西北地区的断裂构造有陡倾角的深断裂、缓倾角的铲式断裂和陡倾角的小断裂,其中控矿的三山岛、焦家和招平断裂均是铲式断裂。结合对金矿床的研究发现,矿床主要赋存于缓倾角断裂中,矿体呈阶梯分布特征,陡倾角的深断裂中未见明显的金矿化蚀变,现今金矿床赋存的最大深度在5 km左右。[结论]综合分析认为,低角度拆离断层和连续性不好的高角度小断层有较好的物理圈闭条件,有利于矿化富集;而产状平直、陡倾的深断裂不具备物理圈闭的条件,不利于成矿。胶东型金矿的找矿方向应集中于缓倾角的铲式断裂及其派生、伴生的陡倾角小断裂附近。

雷州半岛红树林鱼类群落结构及其与人类活动强度的关系

水产养殖、城镇建设等引起的土地利用变化使红树林生态系统遭受严重破坏,是红树林生物多样性面临的主要威胁之一。了解雷州半岛红树林鱼类群落结构,探究人类活动强度对鱼类群落结构的影响,对红树林鱼类资源保护至关重要。基于2021—2022年雷州半岛7片红树林共21条潮沟的鱼类数据,结合周边土地利用数据,研究鱼类群落结构及其与土地利用类型的关系。结果显示,共采集鉴定鱼类49种,隶属于8目25科,鲈形目鱼类最多,共33种占总种类数的75.5%,其中,虾虎鱼科种数最多,共15种占30.6%;食性上,主要为杂食性和肉食性鱼类,分别为53.06%和44.90%;各红树林Shannon-Wiener多样性指数在秋冬春三季的变化范围均为0—2.5,Simpson多样性指数均为0—0.9;各红树林鱼类个体数、物种数和生物量均存在显著差异(P>0.05);除秋季北潭与流沙湾的鱼类群落无显著差异(P>0.05)外,其余红树林间的鱼类群落在三个季度均有显著差异(P<0.05);人类活动强度、红树林面积和东西岸对鱼类多样性指数、个体数、物种数和生物量均有显著的主效应和交互效应(P<0.05);青斑细棘虾虎鱼Acentrogobius viridipunctatus等杂食性鱼类丰度与城镇用地、耕地和林地的面积占比呈正相关,眶棘双边鱼Ambassis gymnocephalus等肉食性鱼类丰度呈负相关,尼罗罗非鱼Oreochromis niloticushh等鱼类丰度与养殖塘面积占比呈正相关。研究结果表明人类活动对鱼类群落结构已产生负面影响,对红树林周边土地利用的合理规划可作为鱼类保护与利用的重要手段。

山东半岛南部海域鱼类群落生物量粒径谱季节变化

为了解山东半岛南部海域鱼类群落粒径结构特征,本文根据2016—2017年渔业资源底拖网季度调查数据,构建了山东半岛南部海域鱼类生物量粒径谱,分析了该海域鱼类群落的粒径结构特征及其季节变化。研究表明,山东半岛南部海域Sheldon型鱼类生物量粒径谱呈双峰模式,鱼类粒径范围为2~12粒径级,粒径分布相对均匀,出现波峰的粒径区间存在季节差异,春、夏季第一个波峰出现在3~4粒径级,主要由细纹狮子鱼(Liparis tanakae)、方氏云鳚(Pholis fangi)和大泷六线鱼(Hexagrammos otakii)等种类组成。秋、冬季第一个波峰出现在5~6粒径级,主要由小眼绿鳍鱼(Chelidonichthys spinosus)、长蛇鲻(Saurida elongata)和斑鰶(Konosirus punctatus)等种类组成。四个季节的第二个波峰均由细纹狮子鱼、黄鮟鱇(Lophius litulon)和大头鳕(Gadus macrocephalus)等鱼类个体组成。全部鱼类群落标准化生物量粒径谱的斜率和截距存在季节差异,其中夏季粒径谱陡峭,截距值显著高于其他季节,而冬季粒径谱最平缓,截距值最小,粒径谱斜率和截距的变化主要受当年生幼鱼群体的影响。在山东半岛南部海域,底层鱼类群落与全部鱼类群落的标准化生物量粒径谱的变化趋势相似。在同一季节,底层鱼类群落与全部鱼类群落的标准化生物量粒径谱斜率和截距之间无显著性差异(P>0.05),而暖温性鱼类群落与全部鱼类群落之间存在显著性差异(P<0.05)。山东半岛南部海域的全部鱼类群落粒径结构以小粒径鱼类为主,大型鱼种和大个体较少。鱼类的种类组成有明显的季节变化,当年生幼鱼及洄游性鱼类的个体数量变化是影响该海域鱼类群落粒径结构的主要因素。

辽宁新房金矿床原生晕地球化学特征及对深部找矿的指示

辽东半岛南部的新房金矿床由22、23、24、25、27号5条矿脉带组成,矿区内主要矿体已被发现,提能增储成为制约矿山持续服务的因素,矿床勘查过程中的钻探工程部署迫切需要科学、有效的成矿预测依据。以新房金矿床106线14个钻孔原生晕数据为研究对象,研究地球化学特征和元素分带规律,建立轴向分带序列,在研究原生晕地球化学特征基础上开展深部找矿预测。结果表明,新房金矿的前缘晕元素为As、Sb、Hg,近矿晕元素为Au、Ag、Cu、Pb、Zn,尾晕元素为W、Mo、Bi。采用分带指数法计算了22、23、24、25、27号5条矿脉带的轴向分带序列,指示5条矿脉带均出现“反分带”现象,可能是不同矿化阶段的矿体在空间上叠加导致正常的轴向分带序列出现错位。22、23、24、27号矿脉带的中下部出现较强的前缘晕和近矿晕,结合地球化学参数特征,这4条矿脉带的As/W、As/Mo、Sb/W、(As×Sb)/(Mo×W)评价指标出现多次振荡波动,并且在深部由降转升,指示深部有较好的找矿潜力。综合以上分析认为,新房金矿床经历多次成矿热液活动,在106勘探线东侧矿体还有一定的延伸。

雷州半岛地下水水质空间分布特征及铁、锰、pH超标的水文地球化学成因探析

对广东省雷州半岛2009—2017年地下水环境质量调查项目涉及的102个钻孔的水化学数据进行分析,发现该区域地下水的铁(Fe)、锰(Mn)含量和pH普遍超标,导致当地地下水水质以Ⅳ~Ⅴ类居多,不适宜直接作为生活饮用水。其中,中层含水层的Fe、Mn超标最显著,且二者具有十分一致的水文地球化学行为特征,因此,该层是解析超标机理的关键层位。松散沉积含水层的Fe、Mn、pH超标问题比基岩裂隙溶隙含水层和交互含水层更突出。湛江组和北海组两个相邻松散岩类地层均含有丰富的铁锰质矿物或结核,应加强对这两个地层的地球化学分析,以进一步解析相关指标超标的地球化学机理。最后,就该区域地下水水质超标机制研究与水质管控提出了建议。

胶东西岭金矿床黄铁矿热电性特征及深部找矿意义

西岭金矿床位于三山岛金矿床东侧,是当前胶东金矿集区内新发现的单一矿体规模最大、埋藏最深的金矿床。在地质观察的基础上,开展了不同深度的黄铁矿热电性特征研究。结果表明:西岭金矿床黄铁矿热电系数离散范围和离散度整体较大且相对稳定;浅部黄铁矿热电导型均为N型,而深部均为P型;成矿温度主要集中在250~360℃之间,属中—高温热液型金矿床;计算得出黄铁矿热电导型变化梯度值较小,并估算出矿体剥蚀率约为75%。综合黄铁矿各类热电性特征参数,认为西岭金矿床深部仍有较大的找矿前景,矿体最大埋深可达-3000 m标高。已知金矿体具有向NE侧伏的规律,认为沿着NE侧伏方向至-3000 m标高处是有效的深部找矿靶区位置。西岭金矿床黄铁矿热电性特征研究可为胶东地区金矿床的深部找矿预测提供科学依据。

2010—2017年中国典型城市群土地利用格局变化及其驱动力比较分析

明确典型城市群土地利用格局变化及其驱动力,对生态环境保护与国土空间规划有重要意义。以2010与2017年哈长城市群、山东半岛城市群和海峡西岸城市群土地利用变更调查数据为基础,采用土地利用变化幅度、土地利用变化速率、土地利用类型转移矩阵等定量和定性方法对2010—2017年三大城市群的土地利用格局变化及其驱动力进行比较分析。结果表明,三大城市群的主要土地利用变化表现为其他土地利用类型向建设用地的转化,其规模由大到小依次为:海峡西岸城市群(2186.27 km^(2))>山东半岛城市群(1056.45km^(2))>哈长城市群(897.91km^(2));海峡西岸城市群的耕地面积表现为净增长(192.00 km^(2)),其中流失面积为18755.00km^(2),新增面积为18948.00km^(2),而其余两个城市群的耕地变化则以净流失为主。人口增长、经济发展、交通建设是三大城市群建设用地扩张的主要驱动力,而气候变暖促进了哈长城市群新增耕地的北移。研究得出三大城市群土地利用格局变化及其驱动力存在明显差异。
