It is only weaker than that in the Kuroshio Extension area, and is comparable to that in the North Pacific Subtropical Countercurrent region. Based on a 1.5-layer reduced gravity model, we analyzed SSH variations in this region and their responses to northern tropical Pacific winds. The average SSH anomaly in the region varies mainly on a seasonal scale, with significant periods of 0.5 and 1 year, ENSO time scale2-7years, and time scale in excess of 8 years. Annual and long-term variabilities are comparably stronger. These variations are essentially a response to the northern tropical Pacific winds. On seasonal and ENSO time scales, they are mainly caused by wind anomalies east of the region, which generate westward-propagating, long Rossby waves. On time scales longer than 8 years, they are mostly induced by local Ekman pumping. Long-term SSH variations in the MD region and their responses to local winds are examined and discussed for the first time .展开更多
南极作为地球的寒极,其最高点Dome A地区于2013年8月1日气温达到-93.0℃的极低值。利用Polar Weather Research and Forecasting(Polar WRF)3.8.1模式,对发生在南极Dome A地区的3次极端低温事件进行数值模拟分析。通过与自动气象站实测...南极作为地球的寒极,其最高点Dome A地区于2013年8月1日气温达到-93.0℃的极低值。利用Polar Weather Research and Forecasting(Polar WRF)3.8.1模式,对发生在南极Dome A地区的3次极端低温事件进行数值模拟分析。通过与自动气象站实测数据对比验证,模拟效果较为理想。结果表明:印度洋和大西洋交界区域的高压加强,其高压脊开始向南极内陆延伸,导致Dome A地区气压升高,使得该地区天气晴好,云量极低,为极端低温事件发生奠定基础;同时,南极中心冷涡加强,长时间的冷平流和稳定的逆温层为Dome A地区提供了足够的降温条件,并且加强了夜间辐射降温效应,稳定的垂直场、极低的向下长波辐射使得Dome A地区的极端低温事件得以维持。展开更多

This diapir, now, is located in a transtentional zone in the overlapping parts of Koreh Bas right fault zone. The origin of this diapir is evaporative series of Hormuz, at the beginning of the Cambrian and ending Precambrian age. In this paper, we investigated tectonic structures around the salt dome of Mangerak. By promoting this salt dome, a variety of structures, such as marginal reverse faults, radial normal faults, folds and caves have been developed. In addition, many changes can be seen in the status line, and the amount and direction of the strata dip, thickness of rock units, and facies change, that all showed the downbuilding phenomenon in the diapir. The method was based on structural desert surveys and relevant measurements. The results show that salt domes above were rising during the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene, and pre-deformation of Zagros and in connection with basement Fault of Korebas, and probably, when sedimentation was in the Zagros basin, they have been exposed in the form of an island. Zagros deformation at the same time, the pressure released from the collision zone on the north side of the East and its wave motion, to the South West, exerts more pressure on the salt horizons and helps them to erupt. About Mangerak salt dome, which is exposed on the side of the Sayakh anticline axis and Basement fault of Korebas, two phenomena are effective in its exposing. Analytical modeling shows the life of the outcrop 31,000 years that this age is consistent with the effects of salt dome Neotectonic.展开更多
