Digital Yellow River Model

Soil erosion is one of the key concerns in land use management for the Loess Plateau of the Yellow River, where serious soil loss is the root cause of environmental and ecological degradation of the basin. In this paper, a physically-based, distributed-parameter, and continuous erosion prediction model at the river basin scale was developed with the aim of assisting in developing better land use management strategies. The framework, the major supporting techniques, and the typical erosion processes are described. The physical processes of sediment yield and transport in the Loess Plateau are divided into three sub-processes, including the runoff and sediment yield on hillslopes, gravitational erosion in gullies, and hyperconcentrated flow routing in channels. For each sub-process, a physically-based simulation model was developed and embedded into the whole model system. The model system was applied to simulate the runoff and sediment yield in several typical years in the coarse sediment source area of the Loess Plateau, and the simulated results were in reasonably good agreement with the measured values.     

青藏高原东南部径流特征的空间规律及控制因子研究

采用青藏高原东南部的水文气象资料,对比分析了该地区23个(区间)流域的年径流深、集中度与集中期、基流系数、退水系数等径流特征及其空间分布规律,并进一步研究了这些径流特征的控制因子。结果表明:该地区径流特征的空间分布规律为年径流深从东南(700~1 300 mm)向西北(<400 mm)递减,而集中度则呈相反的空间格局(从<0.44增加到>0.59);退水系数及基流系数,在低海拔地区随高程增大而增大(分别为0.55~0.69、0.51~0.73),但在高海拔地区则随高程增大而减小(0.74~0.42、0.79~0.63)。本研究发现,青藏东南径流特征空间规律的控制因子,具有显著的区域分异:在低海拔流域(平均高程<3 000 m),降水是径流特征的主要影响因子;而在高海拔流域(平均高程>3 000 m),仅径流深和集中度受降水控制,其他特征则主要受温度、冻土、地形等条件的共同影响。可见,由于青藏高原东南部降水和冻土对气候变化敏感,该地区水资源时空分布格局将面临很大的不确定性,对此应予以充分重视。     

在特殊条件下汽车运行材料的选择

汽车的运行材料指的是对汽车的运行周期、消耗费用等有重大影响的非金属材料,一般包括车用燃料、润滑剂、制动液、冷却液、轮胎等。汽车在不同的工作环境下,对这些材料的合理选用也是不同的。在低温下,需要时刻保持机器的工作温度;在高温下,则需要采取措施来降低温度;而在高原上则对发动机的性能有更高的要求。本文主要对几种特殊工作条件下,如何合理的选取这些运行材料才能保证机器的正常运行,以及提高使用性能进行了简单的介绍和分析,这对提高汽车的可靠性,增加使用寿命有非常重要的意义。     

青藏高原东部地区水文气候变化趋势分析

青藏高原是众多河流的发源地,为了解该地区水文气候变化的情况,对其东部地区雅鲁藏布江(奴下站)、怒江(嘉玉桥站)、澜沧江(昌都站)、通天河(直门达站)、雅砻江(泸宁站)、黄河(唐乃亥站)共6个流域自20世纪80年代以来的年气温、年降雨和年径流的变化趋势进行研究,分析了年径流对气候变化的响应。结果表明:6个流域的年气温和年降雨基本呈较明显的上升趋势;年径流受气温和降雨的共同影响,奴下站、嘉玉桥站和泸宁站呈一定的上升趋势,昌都站、直门达站和唐乃亥站呈一定的下降趋势。区域内径流多年平均变化率与冰雪面积比例大致呈正相关关系:年径流呈现上升趋势的流域,冰雪面积比例较大,受降雨增加和融雪增加的影响偏大;年径流呈下降趋势的流域,冰雪面积比例较小,受气温上升导致蒸散发增大使径流减少的影响偏大。这些研究结果将对青藏高原地区防洪抗旱、水资源的合理配置和开发、区域水资源可持续利用等具有重要的作用和意义。     

云南高原岩溶区极端降水变化规律研究

利用云南高原岩溶区9个气象站1960-2017年逐日降水量数据,通过MATLAB软件计算了6个极端降水指数,基于反距离加权插值、线性倾向估计、Mann-Kendall突变检验以及Morlet连续小波变换等技术方法,探讨了云南高原岩溶区极端降水的演化规律。结果表明:云南高原岩溶区1960-2017年各极端降水指数中,CDD、RX1day、RX5day、SDII主要呈缓慢的上升趋势,CWD呈显著的下降趋势,PRCPTOT整体减少趋势不显著;1960-2017年间仅有CDD和PRCPTOT发生了显著突变,突变年份分别为2006年以及2000年,其余4个指数CWD、RX1day、RX5day、SDII无明显突变现象;各极端降水指数周期性震荡较为明显,CDD、CWD、RX1day、RX5day分别存在28~30a、26~30a、27~30a、27~30a的主周期,SDII与PRCPTOT在27~30a时间尺度上周期最为明显;1960-2017年云南高原岩溶区各极端降水指数空间差异较为明显,除CDD表现为由南向北逐渐递增趋势外,其余5个指数表现为由北向南逐渐递增的相反趋势;1960-2017年间,CDD、CWD、RX1day、RX5day以及SDII均与PRCPTOT呈一致的极显著正相关,相关系数均达0.98以上。极端降水的这些变化可为未来岩溶水资源管理、生态环境建设等方面提供参考。     

Water quality in the southern Tibetan Plateau: chemical evaluation of the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra)

Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) is the largest river system draining the northern slopes of the Himalayan ranges on the southern Tibetan Plateau. It remains one of only two large non‐regulated rivers in China. In this paper the chemical composition of Yarlung Tsangpo and its major tributaries (Raga Tsangpo, Nyangchu and Lhasa River) are studied. Water samples (n = 55) were collected and measured for major ions, trace elements and nutrients in order to: (1) define the present chemical quality of this water course; (2) address possible mechanisms governing the water chemical compositions, and (3) identify potential sources for contaminants. Multivariable analysis shows that geology and climate are the major explanatory variables for the spatial variation in water chemistry in this river system. In general, water chemistry is mainly controlled by carbonate weathering, with Ca²⁺ and HCO being the dominant ions. In addition, runoff from brackish/saline lakes and geothermal waters, enriched in Na⁺, Cl^?, SO, Mg²⁺ and Li, are major contributors of elevated concentrations of these solutes in the headwater regions resulting in a relatively high loading of total dissolved solids (TDS, 146–397 mg L^?1). Levels of most heavy metals and total dissolved nutrients were generally found to be low. However, elevated As concentration (avg. 95 μg L^?1) in the headwaters and additions from untreated wastewater were evident at some locations. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The impact of misregistration on SRTM and DEM image differences

Image differences between Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data and other Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are often performed for either accuracy assessment or for estimating vegetation height across the landscape. It has been widely assumed that the effect of sub-pixel misregistration between the two models on resultant image differences is negligible, yet this has not previously been tested in detail. The aim of this study was to determine the impact that various levels of misregistration have on image differences between SRTM and DEMs. First, very accurate image co-registration was performed at two study sites between higher resolution DEMs and SRTM data, and then image differences (SRTM–DEM) were performed after various levels of misregistration were systematically introduced into the SRTM data. It was found that: (1) misregistration caused an erroneous and dominant correlation between elevation difference and aspect across the landscape; (2) the direction of the misregistration defined the direction of this erroneous and systematic elevation difference; (3) for sub-pixel misregistration the error due solely to misregistration was greater than, or equal to the true difference between the two models for substantial proportions of the landscape (e.g., greater than 33% of the area for a half-pixel misregistration); and (4) the strength of the erroneous relationship with aspect was enhanced by steeper terrain. Spatial comparisons of DEMs were found to be sensitive to even sub-pixel misregistration between the two models, which resulted in a strong erroneous correlation with aspect. This misregistration induced correlation with aspect is not likely specific to SRTM data only; we expect it to be a generic relationship present in any DEM image difference analysis.     

Charge exchange and the “Plateau” effect in YBa2Cu3O7?y

The superconducting properties of YBa₂Cu₃O_7- y, (YBCO) depend strongly on the oxygen content, whereas the transition temperatureT _cremains relatively constant for oxygen content between 6.8 and 7.0 (the Plateau effect) this effect has attracted considerable attention [see, e.g., D. de Fontaineet al., Nature (London) 343, 544 (1990); H. Paulsenet al., Nature (London) 349, 594 (1991); J. Jorgensen,Phys. Today 44, No. 6, 34 (1991)]. In this letter we introduce a microscopic theory of this phenomenon.
