In this study, cloud microphysical processes such as raindrop evaporation and cloud water accretion in a double-moment six-class cloud microphysics scheme were revised to enhance the simulation of low clouds using the Global-Regional Integrated Forecast System(GRIST)model. The validation of the revised scheme using a single-column version of the GRIST demonstrated a reasonable reduction in liquid water biases. The revised parameterization simulated medium-and low-level cloud fractions that were in better agreement with the observations than the original scheme. Long-term global simulations indicate the mitigation of the originally overestimated low-level cloud fraction and cloud-water mixing ratio in mid-to high-latitude regions,primarily owing to enhanced accretion processes and weakened raindrop evaporation. The reduced low clouds with the revised scheme showed better consistency with satellite observations, particularly at mid-and high-latitudes. Further improvements can be observed in the simulated cloud shortwave radiative forcing and vertical distribution of total cloud cover. Annual precipitation in mid-latitude regions has also improved, particularly over the oceans, with significantly increased large-scale and decreased convective precipitation.展开更多

The results show that the zonal propagation direction of LFOs in horizontal winds varies with seasons in the troposphere during May to August in 1998. The eastward propagation of LFOs is remarkable before the start of the rainy season in the Tibetan Plateau and the eastern Asian continent, while the westward propagation is significant after the start date. The northward LFOs from the south side of the plateau and the southward LFOs from the north are both significant before and after the start date. The plateau is a LFO sink in the meridional and zonal directions, but the west part of it is an intensifying area for the continual westward LFOs only after the start of the rainy season. Besides, the strongest LFOs occur at the tropopause (100 hPa) and rapidly decay after entering the stratosphere. The rainfall over the mid-low reaches of Yangtze River in the summer of 1998 exhibits two LFO cycles. According to the phases of the two rainfall LFO cycles, the composite analyses of precipitation distribution, LF circulations at 500 and 100 hPa, and LF vertical motion along 30°N are performed. It is the joint effect of the mid-upper tropospheric strong 30-60-day filtered cyclone (anticyclone) over the eastern plateau and the LFO anticyclone (cyclone) over the west subtropical Pacific that induces the whole layer LF descending (ascending) motion over the mid-lower reaches of Yangtze River, which provides the favorable condition for the break (maintenance) of precipitation.展开更多
The low-frequency variability of the shallow meridional overturning circulation(MOC) in the South China Sea(SCS) is investigated using a Simple Ocean Data Assimilation(SODA) product for the period of 1900-2010. ...The low-frequency variability of the shallow meridional overturning circulation(MOC) in the South China Sea(SCS) is investigated using a Simple Ocean Data Assimilation(SODA) product for the period of 1900-2010. A dynamical decomposition method is used in which the MOC is decomposed into the Ekman, external mode, and vertical shear components. Results show that all the three dynamical components contribute to the formation of the seasonal and annual mean shallow MOC in the SCS. The shallow MOC in the SCS consists of two cells: a clockwise cell in the south and an anticlockwise cell in the north; the former is controlled by the Ekman flow and the latter is dominated by the external barotropic flow, with the contribution of the vertical shear being to reduce the magnitude of both cells. In addition, the strength of the MOC in the south is found to have a falling trend over the past century, due mainly to a weakening of the Luzon Strait transport(LST) that reduces the transport of the external component. Further analysis suggests that the weakening of the LST is closely related to a weakening of the westerly wind anomalies over the equatorial Pacific, which leads to a southward shift of the North Equatorial Current(NEC) bifurcation and thus a stronger transport of the Kuroshio east of Luzon.展开更多

文摘Climate models are essential for understanding past,present,and future changes in atmospheric circulation,with circulation modes providing key sources of seasonal predictability and prediction uncertainties for both global and regional climates.This study assesses the performance of models participating in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project in simulating interannual variability modes of Northern Hemisphere 500-hPa geopotential height during winter and summer,distinguishing predictable(potentially predictable on seasonal or longer timescales)and unpredictable(intraseasonal and essentially unpredictable at long range)components,using reanalysis data and a variance decomposition method.Although most models effectively capture unpredictable modes in reanalysis,their ability to reproduce dominant predictable modes-specifically the Pacific-North American pattern,Arctic Oscillation,and Western Pacific Oscillation in winter,and the East Atlantic and North Atlantic Oscillations in summer-varies notably.An optimal ensemble is identified to distinguish(a)predictable-external modes,dominated by external forcing,and(b)predictable-internal modes,associated with slow internal variability,during the historical period(1950-2014)and the SSP5-8.5 scenario(2036-2100).Under increased radiative forcing,the leading winter/summer predictable-external mode exhibits a more uniform spatial distribution,remarkably larger trend and annual variance,and enhanced height-sea surface temperature(SST)covariance under SSP5-8.5 compared to historical conditions.The dominant winter/summer predictable-internal modes also exhibit increased variance and height-SST covariance under SSP5-8.5,along with localized changes in spatial configuration.Minimal changes are observed in spatial distribution or variance for dominant winter/summer unpredictable modes under SSP5-8.5.This study,from a predictive perspective,deepens our understanding of model uncertainties and projected changes in circulations.

文摘Summer rainfall in the Yangtze River basin(YRB)is favored by two key factors in the lower troposphere:the tropical anticyclonic anomaly over the western North Pacific and the extratropical northeasterly anomalies to the north of the YRB.This study,however,found that approximately 46%of heavy rainfall events in the YRB occur when only one factor appears and the other is opposite signed.Accordingly,these heavy rainfall events can be categorized into two types:the extratropical northeasterly anomalies but tropical cyclonic anomaly(first unconventional type),and the tropical anticyclonic anomaly but extratropical southwesterly anomalies(second unconventional type).Anomalous water vapor convergence and upward motion exists for both types,but through different mechanisms.For the first type,the moisture convergence and upward motion are induced by a cyclonic anomaly over the YRB,which appears in the mid and lower troposphere and originates from the upstream region.For the second type,a mid-tropospheric cyclonic anomaly over Lake Baikal extends southward and results in southwesterly anomalies over the YRB,in conjunction with the tropical anticyclonic anomaly.The southwesterly anomalies transport water vapor to the YRB and lead to upward motion through warm advection.This study emphasizes the role of mid-tropospheric circulations in inducing heavy rainfall in the YRB.

文摘Wind-induced circulation is the main form of lake flow for shallow lakes and plays an important role in algae population distribution.This study constructed a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model(EFDC)of the plateau lake Erhai,China using accuracy wind field observation,runoff data and monthly algae data during 2022–2023.The model successfully reproduced the circulation characteristics of Erhai under prevailing wind directions.The results showed that the lake flow velocity in Lake Erhai is higher in winter than in summer,with lower velocities near shore particularly in the northern and central parts of the lake.There is a negative correlation between algal biomass and flow velocity(FV)in different zones,with lower FV favoring the accumulation of algal biomass,particularly for Microcystis,Dolichospermum,and Peridinium.Additionally,due to buoyancy,cyanobacteria are highly affected by wind direction and tend to accumulate in downwind regions of the prevailing wind direction.This study demonstrates that wind-induced circulation is a crucial factor affecting the spatial distribution of dominant algae populations in shallow plateau lakes with weak hydrodynamic force.Further,the risk of bloom occurrence in Lake Erhai will be higher due to the background of global climate change and the lake’s wind speed decline.In conclusion,we suggest implementing targeted zoning measures to control algal blooms and establishing stricter regulations for nitrogen and phosphorus control to counterbalance the promotion of algal bloom accumulation in low-velocity zones caused by reduced wind speed.

文摘Clouds play an important role in global atmospheric energy and water vapor budgets, and the low cloud simulations suffer from large biases in many atmospheric general circulation models. In this study, cloud microphysical processes such as raindrop evaporation and cloud water accretion in a double-moment six-class cloud microphysics scheme were revised to enhance the simulation of low clouds using the Global-Regional Integrated Forecast System(GRIST)model. The validation of the revised scheme using a single-column version of the GRIST demonstrated a reasonable reduction in liquid water biases. The revised parameterization simulated medium-and low-level cloud fractions that were in better agreement with the observations than the original scheme. Long-term global simulations indicate the mitigation of the originally overestimated low-level cloud fraction and cloud-water mixing ratio in mid-to high-latitude regions,primarily owing to enhanced accretion processes and weakened raindrop evaporation. The reduced low clouds with the revised scheme showed better consistency with satellite observations, particularly at mid-and high-latitudes. Further improvements can be observed in the simulated cloud shortwave radiative forcing and vertical distribution of total cloud cover. Annual precipitation in mid-latitude regions has also improved, particularly over the oceans, with significantly increased large-scale and decreased convective precipitation.

文摘Influenza A virus(IAV) has a wide host range,including wild birds,poultry,various mammals,and even humans(Xu et al.2024).Currently,two subtypes of canine influenza virus(CIV),H3N8 and H3N2,are primarily circulating in dogs.The H3N8 CIV was introduced from horses into dogs in 2004(Crawford et al.2005),while the H3N2 CIV originated from chickens in Asia in 2007(Song et al.2008).In China,H3N2 is the predominant CIV subtype,with a prevalence rate of up to 5.63% in the canine population,as reported by Chen et al.(2023).CIV infection typically manifests with symptoms such as coughing,sneezing,runny nose,and fever but is rarely fatal.However,co-infection with other pathogens(e.g.,Streptococcus,Mycoplasma or canine parainfluenza virus) can exacerbate symptoms and lead to lethal outcomes(Yondo et al.2023).

文摘The propagation characteristics of the atmospheric low frequency (LF, 30-60 days) oscillation (LFO) around the Tibetan Plateau from troposphere to stratosphere and its relationship with the floods over the mid-lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the summer of 1998 are studied, based on the GAME dataset from Meteorological Research Institute (MRI)/Japan Meteorological Agency, the TRMM satellite rainfall and the 730-station precipitation over China. The results show that the zonal propagation direction of LFOs in horizontal winds varies with seasons in the troposphere during May to August in 1998. The eastward propagation of LFOs is remarkable before the start of the rainy season in the Tibetan Plateau and the eastern Asian continent, while the westward propagation is significant after the start date. The northward LFOs from the south side of the plateau and the southward LFOs from the north are both significant before and after the start date. The plateau is a LFO sink in the meridional and zonal directions, but the west part of it is an intensifying area for the continual westward LFOs only after the start of the rainy season. Besides, the strongest LFOs occur at the tropopause (100 hPa) and rapidly decay after entering the stratosphere. The rainfall over the mid-low reaches of Yangtze River in the summer of 1998 exhibits two LFO cycles. According to the phases of the two rainfall LFO cycles, the composite analyses of precipitation distribution, LF circulations at 500 and 100 hPa, and LF vertical motion along 30°N are performed. It is the joint effect of the mid-upper tropospheric strong 30-60-day filtered cyclone (anticyclone) over the eastern plateau and the LFO anticyclone (cyclone) over the west subtropical Pacific that induces the whole layer LF descending (ascending) motion over the mid-lower reaches of Yangtze River, which provides the favorable condition for the break (maintenance) of precipitation.

文摘The low-frequency variability of the shallow meridional overturning circulation(MOC) in the South China Sea(SCS) is investigated using a Simple Ocean Data Assimilation(SODA) product for the period of 1900-2010. A dynamical decomposition method is used in which the MOC is decomposed into the Ekman, external mode, and vertical shear components. Results show that all the three dynamical components contribute to the formation of the seasonal and annual mean shallow MOC in the SCS. The shallow MOC in the SCS consists of two cells: a clockwise cell in the south and an anticlockwise cell in the north; the former is controlled by the Ekman flow and the latter is dominated by the external barotropic flow, with the contribution of the vertical shear being to reduce the magnitude of both cells. In addition, the strength of the MOC in the south is found to have a falling trend over the past century, due mainly to a weakening of the Luzon Strait transport(LST) that reduces the transport of the external component. Further analysis suggests that the weakening of the LST is closely related to a weakening of the westerly wind anomalies over the equatorial Pacific, which leads to a southward shift of the North Equatorial Current(NEC) bifurcation and thus a stronger transport of the Kuroshio east of Luzon.

文摘The movement of global ocean circulation in the Earth’s main magnetic field generates a measurable induced magnetic field(about 2 nT at geomagnetic satellite altitudes).However,this ocean circulation-induced magnetic field has not been previously estimated or incorporated into geomagnetic field models,potentially causing leakage into the core field model.Here,we present a method to account for the circulation-induced magnetic field during geomagnetic field modeling.First,a forward model of the circulation-induced magnetic field is constructed by numerically solving electromagnetic induction equations based on a realistic ocean circulation model.Then,this forward model is subtracted from the observed data.Finally,the core and lithospheric fields,magnetospheric and Earth’s mantle-induced fields,and the ocean tide-induced magnetic field are co-estimated.Applying our method to over 20 years of MSS-1,Swarm,CryoSat-2,and CHAMP satellite magnetic data,we derive a new multisource geomagnetic field model(MGFM).We find that incorporating a forward model of the circulation-induced magnetic field marginally improves the fit to the data.Furthermore,we demonstrate that neglecting the circulation-induced magnetic field in geomagnetic field modeling results in leakage into the core field model.The highlights of the MGFM model include:(i)a good agreement with the widely used CHAOS model series;(ii)the incorporation of magnetic fields induced by both ocean tides and circulation;and(iii)the suppression of leakage of the circulation-induced magnetic field into the core field model.

文摘Low-frequency structural vibrations caused by poor rigidity are one of the main obstacles limiting the machining efficiency of robotic milling.Existing vibration suppression strategies primarily focus on passive vibration absorption at the robotic end and feedback control at the joint motor.Although these strategies have a certain vibration suppression effect,the limitations of robotic flexibility and the extremely limited applicable speed range remain to be overcome.In this study,a Magnetorheological Joint Damper(MRJD)is developed.The joint-mounted feature ensures machining flexibility of the robot,and the millisecond response time of the Magnetorheological Fluid(MRF)ensures a large effective spindle speed range.More importantly,the evolution law of the damping performance of MRJD was revealed based on a low-frequency chatter mechanism,which guarantees the application of MRJD in robotic milling machining.To analyze the influence of the robotic joint angle on the suppression effect of the MRJD,the joint braking coefficient and end braking coefficient were proposed.Parallel coordinate plots were used to visualize the joint range with the optimal vibration suppression effect.Finally,a combination of different postures and cutting parameters was used to verify the vibration suppression effect and feasibility of the joint angle optimization.The experimental results show that the MRJD,which directly improves the joint vibration resistance,can effectively suppress the low-frequency vibration of robotic milling under a variety of cutting conditions.

文摘Due to complex geological structures and a narrow safe mud density window,offshore fractured formations frequently encounter severe lost circulation(LC)during drilling,significantly hindering oil and gas exploration and development.Predicting LC risks enables the targeted implementation of mitigation strategies,thereby reducing the frequency of such incidents.To address the limitations of existing 3D geomechanical modeling in predicting LC,such as arbitrary factor selection,subjective weight assignment,and the inability to achieve pre-drilling prediction along the entire well section,an improved prediction method is proposed.This method integrates multi-source data and incorporates three LC-related sensitivity factors:fracture characteristics,rock brittleness,and in-situ stress conditions.A quantitative risk assessment model for LC is developed by combining the subjective analytic hierarchy process with the objective entropy weight method(EWM)to assign weights.Subsequently,3D geomechanical modeling is applied to identify regional risk zones,enabling digital visualization for pre-drilling risk prediction.The developed 3D LC risk prediction model was validated using actual LC incidents from drilled wells.Results were generally consistent with field-identified LC zones,with an average relative error of 19.08%,confirming its reliability.This method provides practical guidance for mitigating potential LC risks and optimizing drilling program designs in fractured formations.

文摘Intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) is a significant and growing threat to human health,with increasing incidence.Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis therapy(PBCRBS),a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy,can be an adjuvant therapy to benefit patients with ICH by improving clinical efficacy.However,in theory,using PBCRBS to treat ICH carries the risk of hematoma enlargement and rebleeding,which has led to controversy over its application in ICH treatment.To demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of PBCRBS in treating ICH,this review first analyzes the pathological and physiological basis of ICH and secondly,the cascade of response after ICH and the involvement of cytokines and signaling pathways in this process.Finally,experimental and clinical studies on the treatment of ICH with PBCRBS over the past decade were retrieved from the Pub Med and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases,and the content of these studies was used to summarize commonly used herbs with PBCRBS effects and their mechanisms of action.Through analysis,hypertension has been identified as the most common cause of ICH.Heme,interleukin,reactive oxygen species,coagulation promoting particles and other induced mass effects,inflammation,oxidative stress,and coagulation cascade reactions lead to brain damage following ICH.This review includes 56 experimental studies and 83 clinical studies summarizing 28 commonly used herbs,demonstrating the positive impact of PBCRBS as an adjuvant therapy for ICH.In summary,PBCRBS appears effective and safe for treating ICH.

文摘Since the 21st century,the Huang–Huai–Hai River Basin(HHHRB)in China has experienced increased frequency and severity of drought–flood abrupt alternation(DFAA)events during early summer,characterized by droughts in June followed by floods in July.The 2024 event was the most severe since 1981.This study demonstrates that such compound extreme events are closely linked to anomalous subseasonal evolution of large-scale atmospheric circulation.During the drought phase,the East Asian subtropical westerly jet(EAJ)shifts southward,and the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH)exhibits anomalous strengthening with its western ridge line displaced southward.The flood phase is characterized by acceleration of the EAJ,westward extension of the WPSH,and enhanced southwestern moisture transport from the western Pacific.Beyond these typical features,the 2024 early summer circulation exhibited unique characteristics:Anomalous northeastward intensification of the WPSH facilitated merged moisture influx from both the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific along the southeast pathway into the HHHRB in July,resulting in the highest net moisture inflow at the southern boundary of the HHHRB since 1981.The synergistic effects of multiple factors primarily explain the exceptionally intense DFAA event in 2024.

文摘During drilling operations in deep fractured tight gas reservoirs,lost circulation of working fluid frequently occurs due to the formationʼs low pressure-bearing capacity.Adding lost circulation materials(LCMs)to drilling fluids is the most common method for controlling lost circulation.Among these,granular LCMs are widely used,but the application frequency of flaky LCMs has been increasing annually due to their unique morphology.However,the migration and plugging behavior of flaky LCMs within fractures,and the mechanisms enhancing the pressure-bearing capacity of the plugging zone are not well understood.Therefore,this study conducted visual plugging experiments and dynamic fracture plugging experiments to evaluate the plugging mode and pressure-bearing capacity of the plugging slurry with various particle sizes and concentrations of flaky LCMs.The experimental results demonstrate that the fracture plugging process can be divided into four stages:uniform flow stage of the plugging slurry,formation and development stage of the bridging area,formation and development stage of the plugging area,and pressure-bearing stage of the plugging zone.The inclusion of flaky LCMs notably reduces the duration of stages 1 and 2,while simultaneously increasing the proportion of the plugging zone and enhancing its surface porosity.Flaky LCMs reduce the effective fracture width through“interception”and“co-bridging”modes,thus improving plugging zone formation efficiency.Appropriate particle size and concentration of flaky LCMs increase the area and length of the plugging zone.This reduces the fracture width increment caused by injection pressure and enhances frictional force between the plugging zone and fracture surface,thereby improving the pressure-bearing capacity of the plugging zone.However,excessively high concentrations of flaky LCMs result in decreased structural stability of the plugging zone,and excessively large particle sizes increase the risk of plugging outside fracture inlet.The recommended concentration of flaky LCMs in the plugging slurry is 2%–3%,with a particle size 1.2 to 1.5 times that of the bridging granular LCMs and not exceeding twice the fracture width.This study provides a theoretical foundation for selecting LCMs and designing plugging formulations for field applications.

文摘Lost circulation of drilling fluid is an international engineering problem during drilling.Aiming at the problems of the first-time lost circulation control success rate and poor adaptability of traditional lost circulation materials,a new self-healing lost circulation material based on dynamic disulfide bonds was prepared and named CKSH.In this paper,the particle size of self-healing lost circulation material was from 0.1 to 5 mm.The structure was analyzed by modern characterization means,and the drilling fluid compatibility,self-healing performance were evaluated.The self-healing and bridging-filling-sealing mechanism of CKSH were revealed.The results showed that the healing rate of CKSH could reach100%after 12 h over 70℃.It showed good compatibility with drilling fluid,with no effect on rheology or filtration loss.It could be stably suspended in drilling fluid,and the temperature resistance reached140℃.Healing by self-healing lost circulation materials of different particle size,the pressure bearing capacity of plugging zone were over 12 MPa for fracture opening of 1–5 mm.It could play a synergistic role with traditional lost circulation materials by chemical bonding,and the repeated loss caused by physical plugging was avoided.The research results of this paper can improve the bridging plugging bearing pressure strength and the first-time lost circulation control success rate,which is of great significance for improving drilling efficiency and reducing non-productive time.

文摘In order to obtain a lower frequency band gap,this paper proposes a novel locally resonant meta-beam incorporating a softening nonlinear factor.An improved camroller structure is designed in this meta-beam to achieve the softening nonlinear stiffness of the local oscillators.Firstly,based on Hamilton's principle and the Galerkin method,the control equations for the coupled system are established.The theoretical band gap boundary is then derived with the modal analysis method.The theoretical results reveal that the band gap of the meta-beam shifts towards lower frequencies due to the presence of a softening nonlinear factor,distinguishing it from both linear metamaterials and those with hardening nonlinear characteristics.Then,the vibration attenuation characteristics of a finite size meta-beam are investigated through numerical calculation,and are verified by the theoretical results.Furthermore,parameter studies indicate that the reasonable design of the local oscillator parameters based on lightweight principles helps to achieve further broadband and efficient vibration reduction in the low-frequency region.Finally,a prototype of the meta-beam is fabricated and assembled,and the formations of the low-frequency band gap and the amplitude-induced band gap phenomenon are verified through experiments.

文摘Low-frequency vibroseis acquisition has become a routine operation in land seismic surveys,given the advantages of low-frequency signals in characterizing geological structures and enhancing the imaging of deep exploration targets.The two key points of low-frequency sweep design techniques include controlling the distortion and improving the output energy during the low-frequency stage.However,the vibrators are limited by the maximum fl ow provided by the hydraulic systems at the low-frequency stage,causing difficulty in satisfying exploration energy requirements.Initially,a theoretical analysis of the low-frequency acquisition performance of vibrators is conducted.A theoretical maximum output force below 10 Hz is obtained by guiding through theoretical formulas and combining actual vibrator parameters.Then,the signal is optimized according to the surface characteristics of the operation area.Finally,detailed application quality control and operational procedures are established.The new low-frequency sweep design method has overcome the maximum flow limitations of the hydraulic system,increased the low-frequency energy,and achieved broadband acquisition.The designed signal has been tested and applied on various types of ground surfaces in the Middle East desert region,yielding good performance.The proposed low-frequency sweep design method holds considerable value for the application of conventional vibroseis in low-frequency acquisition.

文摘Controlling low-frequency noise presents a significant challenge for traditional sound absorption materials,such as foams and fibrous substances.Recently developed acoustic absorption metamaterials,which rely on local resonance can effectively balance the volume occupation and low-frequency absorption performance.However,these materials often exhibit a very narrow and fixed absorption band.Inspired by Helmholtz resonators and bistable structures,we propose bistable reconfigurable acoustic metamaterials(BRAMs)that offer multiband low-frequency absorption.These BRAMs are fabricated using shape-memory polylactic acid(SM-PLA)via four-dimension(4D)printing technology.Consequently,the geometry and absorption performance of the BRAMs can be adjusted by applying thermal stimuli(at 55℃)to switch between two stable states.The BRAMs demonstrate excellent low-frequency absorption with multiband characteristics,achieving an absorption coefficient of 0.981 at 136 Hz and 0.998 at 230 Hz for stable state I,and coefficients of 0.984 at 156 Hz and 0.961 at 542 Hz for stable state II.It was found that the BRAMs with different inclined plate angles had linear recovery stages,and the recovery speeds range from 0.75 mm/s to 1.1 mm/s.By combining a rational structural design and 4D printing,the reported reconfigurable acoustic metamaterials will inspire further studies on the design of dynamic and broadband absorption devices.
