陆态网络连续重力站近期潮汐观测精度讨论

重力潮汐观测在全球潮汐模型的建立、重力扰动信号识别等工作中具有重要作用,而潮汐观测精度是完成这些工作的基础。本文利用中国大陆构造环境监测网络10个重力站3年的重力固体潮数据计算了观测潮汐模型。在与历史已有结果进行比较后,分析了观测潮汐模型精度以及环境对精度的影响。结果表明,10个站观测潮汐模型的M₂波潮汐因子中,误差最优为0.00014,主要潮波平均精度优于0.0010,高于20世纪80～90年代弹簧重力仪0.5～1个数量级,部分站点的精度可达早期超导重力仪水平,而与现代OSG型超导重力仪精度相差0.5～1.0个数量级。利用重力站中最优观测潮汐模型进行潮汐改正,潮汐改正精度指标（DRMS）可达±（0.2～0.3）×10^-8m/s²,稍优于DDW/NHi理论潮汐模型结果（±（0.3～0.6）×10^-8m/s²）。10个重力站均表现出了观测优于理论模型的特点。观测环境和场地的干扰会导致观测潮汐模型的精度下降,部分台站受环境变化和观测系统本身老化等不稳定因素干扰,其观测潮汐模型精度下降。DRMS自（0.1～0.2）×10^-8m/s²增至（1.0～1.7）×10^-8m/s²。

武昌重力潮汐基准研究

为了检验和完善理论地球模型和海潮模型,必须提高重力潮汐观测的精度。这除了提高仪器的精度以外,关键问题在于仪器的格值的准确性,因为它是衡量潮汐参数的尺度。但是,各种类型重力仪的出厂格值存在着误差,且各成系统,其系统偏差可达1％-2％。需要高精度的潮汐基准与之比较,统一和确定重力仪的格值。根据国际地潮中心的观测结果分析,布鲁塞尔潮汐基准系统可能偏大。因此,建立我国重力潮汐基准,对固体潮观测与研究具有重要意义。

南极中山和长城站重力潮汐观测研究

利用3台LaCoste-Romberg型弹簧重力仪（G-589、ET-20和ET-21）在南极中山站和长城站的长期重力潮汐观测资料，在武汉国际重力潮汐基准上精密测定了中山站和长城站的重力潮汐参数，其中主波振幅因子的标准偏差优于0.5％．各潮波的观测振幅在中山站比在长城站的小得多，两站周日潮（O1）的观测振幅因子相差约7％，而半日潮（M2）的观测振幅因子相差超过40％，气压和温度等气象因素的变化对观测结果的影响很明显．海潮负荷对两台站潮汐观测的影响非常显著，采用Schwiderski全球海潮模型对观测结果作海潮负荷重力改正．结果表明，经海潮改正后，各潮波的观测残差有较大幅度的减小，但是，由于采用的海潮模型没有顾及台站近区的海潮负荷效应，所以，O1 波的振幅因子对相应理论潮汐模型值之间存在大约4％（中山站）和9％（长城站）的偏差．

Bio‐geomorphic effects on tidal channel evolution: impact of vegetation establishment and tidal prism change

The long‐term (10–100 years) evolution of tidal channels is generally considered to interact with the bio‐geomorphic evolution of the surrounding intertidal platform. Here we studied how the geometric properties of tidal channels (channel drainage density and channel width) change as (1) vegetation establishes on an initially bare intertidal platform and (2) sediment accretion on the intertidal platform leads to a reduction in the tidal prism (i.e. water volume that during a tidal cycle floods to and drains back from the intertidal platform). Based on a time series of aerial photographs and digital elevation models, we derived the channel geometric properties at different time steps during the evolution from an initially low‐elevated bare tidal flat towards a high‐elevated vegetated marsh. We found that vegetation establishment causes a marked increase in channel drainage density. This is explained as the friction exerted by patches of pioneer vegetation concentrates the flow in between the vegetation patches and promotes there the erosion of channels. Once vegetation has established, continued sediment accretion and tidal prism reduction do not result in significant further changes in channel drainage density and in channel widths. We hypothesize that this is explained by a partitioning of the tidal flow between concentrated channel flow, as long as the vegetation is not submerged, and more homogeneous sheet flow as the vegetation is deeply submerged. Hence, a reduction of the tidal prism due to sediment accretion on the intertidal platform, reduces especially the volume of sheet flow (which does not affect channel geometry), while the concentrated channel flow (i.e. the landscape forming volume of water) is not much affected by the tidal prism reduction.

Les chenaux de marée autour des îles de Kneiss,Tunisie: sédimentologie et évolution

Résumé

L'Archipel de Kneiss, dans le Golfe de Gabès (sud-est Tunisien), est un milieu à originalités multiples. Il est unique en son genre en Tunisie en raison de la variété de son paysage morphologique (marais maritimes, falaises, plages sableuses et îlots qui émergent des hauts fonds). Il est caractérisé par la présence de chenaux de marée submergés. L'objectif principal de ce présent travail est de caractériser les principales composantes qui interviennent dans la dynamique sédimentaire au niveau de ces chenaux. Les résultats des analyses granulométriques et minéralogiques des sédiments de surface prélevés au niveau des chenaux de marée ont permis d'identifier l'origine de ces sédiments et de préciser les facteurs et les phénomènes qui interviennent dans leur transport et leur dépôt. Ces résultats montrent que les sables des chenaux de marée présentent un granoclassement décroissant de l'aval vers l'amont, ce qui prouve que les courants de marée ont une action plus importante lors du flot que lors du jusant. Ces résultats montrent aussi que le mode de transport est exclusivement le roulement par les courants de marée. Les minéraux argileux et non argileux des sédiments de surface auraient pour origine essentiellement les formations géologiques qui affleurent dans l'arrière-pays. L'analyse des photographies aériennes montre que les chenaux de marée présentent une évolution morphologique.

The role of earth tide in crustal movement

The earth tide is usually ignored in orogenesis (geosynclinal activity) and magmatic activity. We believe that the role of earth tide in crustal movement should not be ignored. The elemental dynamic analysis of origin of magma chamber under dissipative tidal heating model and orogenic process driven by alternating earth tidal force is depicted. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,15, 508–513, 1993. Xue-Min AI and Liang CHI also worked for this project. This work was supported by the Laboratory of Dynamical Geodesy, Academia Sinica. Translated from Chinese into English by Liang CHI.     

Simulating the role of tides and sediment characteristics on tidal flat sorting and bedding dynamics

Understanding sediment sorting and bedding dynamics has high value to unravelling the mechanisms underlying geomorphological, geological, ecological and environmental imprints of tidal wetlands and hence to predicting their future changes. Using the Nanhui tidal flat on the Changjiang (Yangtze) Delta, China, as a reference site, this study establishes a schematized morphodynamic model coupling flow, sediment dynamics and bed level change to explore the processes that govern sediment sorting and bedding phenomena. Model results indicate an overall agreement with field data in terms of tidal current velocities, suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs), deposition thicknesses and sedimentary structures. Depending on the variation of tidal current strength, sand-dominated layers (SDLs) and mud-dominated layers (MDLs) tend to form during spring and neap tides, respectively. Thinner tidal couplets are developed during daily scale flood–ebb variations. A larger tidal level variation during a spring–neap tidal cycle, associated with a stronger tidal current variation, favours the formation of SDLs and tidal couplets. A larger boundary sediment supply generally promotes the formation of tidal bedding, though the bedding detail is partially dependent on the SSC composition of different sediment types. Sediment properties, including for example grain size and settling velocity, are also found to influence sediment sorting and bedding characteristics. In particular, finer and coarser sediment respond differently to spring and neap tides. During neap tides, relatively small flow velocities favour the deposition of finer sediment, with limited coarser sediment being transported to the upper tidal flat because of the larger settling velocity. During spring tides, larger flow velocities transport more coarser sediment to the upper tidal flat, accounting for distinct lamination formation. Model results are qualitatively consistent with field observations, but the role of waves, biological processes and alongshore currents needs to be included in further studies to establish a more complete understanding.     

对油气藏潮汐重力勘探的探讨

利用油气藏潮汐重力异常直接找油是近年从俄罗斯引进的方法,但这一方法的原理在国内研究得很少,其有效性和可靠性还没有得到充分的论证.本文对油藏潮汐重力的形成机制、潮汐重力的观测和数据处理方法进行了研究.理论计算表明,油藏潮汐重力异常在微伽量级,而实际资料表明潮汐重力的观测误差为10μGal量级,油藏潮汐重力异常可能会被噪声淹没,所以没有观测到潮汐重力异常不等于地下没有油气;实际观测的潮汐重力异常可达数十μGal,即使超过观测误差的3倍,也不能将它直接归因于油藏产生的潮汐重力异常.例如:潮汐重力改正的误差可能达到数十μGal,对有效异常形成干扰.     

钻孔应变观测中潮汐因子离散性与各向异性原因探讨——“十五”数字地震观测网络分量钻孔应变仪首批观测资料分析解释

中国数字地震观测网络"十五"计划期间,在全国布设约40台我国自主研发的YRY-4型分量式钻孔应变仪.现已取得一批固体潮观测数据,计算M2波潮汐因子的结果表明,潮汐因子的相对精度最高达到了0.001.在此基础上,发现各观测点潮汐响应(潮汐因子)与理论模型比较有很大的离散性及有规律的方位各向异性.本文提出断层隔离是造成各台站潮汐因子偏离理论值及方位各向异性的主要原因.有限元断层地块模型应变方位响应与台站实测方位响应的一致,支持了这一观点.潮汐响应各向异性现象有望在地质构造研究、城市断层探测、地块活动微动态、地震烈度区划等研究领域发挥作用.也可为GPS等空间大地测量观测数据改进潮汐位移修正,提供参考.     

On the stability relationships between tidal asymmetry and morphologies of tidal basins and estuaries

Simple stability relationships are practically useful to provide a rapid assessment of coastal and estuarine landforms in response to human interventions and long‐term climate change. In this contribution, we review a variety of simple stability relationships which are based on the analysis of tidal asymmetry (TA). Most of the existing TA‐based stability relationships are derived using the one‐dimensional tidal flow equations assuming a certain regular shape of the tidal channel cross‐sections. To facilitate analytical solutions, specific assumptions inevitably need to be made, for example by linearizing the friction term and dropping some negligible terms in the tidal flow equations. We find that three major types of TA‐based stability relationships have been proposed between three non‐dimensional channel geometric ratios (represented by the ratio of channel widths, ratio of wet surface areas and ratio of storage volumes) and the tide‐related parameter a/h (i.e. the ratio between tidal amplitude and mean water depth). Based on established geometric relations, we use these non‐dimensional ratios to restate the existing relationships so that they are directly comparable. Available datasets are further extended to examine the utility of these TA‐based relationships. Although a certain agreement is shown for these relationships, we also observe a large scatter of data points which are collected in different types of landscape, hydrodynamic and sedimentological settings over the world. We discuss in detail the potential reasons for this large scatter and subsequently elaborate on the limited applicability of the various TA‐based stability relationships for practical use. We highlight the need to delve further into what constitutes equilibrium and what is needed to develop more robust measures to determine the morphological state of these systems.

Assessing the relative contributions of the flood tide and the ebb tide to tidal channel network dynamics

Flood and ebb currents provide different contributions to the initiation and evolution of tidal channel networks, generating diverse network structures and channel cross-sections. In order to separate the effects of these contributions, a physical model of a sloping tidal-flat basin was set up in the laboratory. Depending on the degree of tidal asymmetry imposed offshore, either flood or ebb currents can be enhanced. The experimental results show that the ebb current has a higher capability to initiate and shape tidal networks than the flood current. Headward erosion is mainly induced by the ebb flow. The slightly inclined flat surface tends to reduce the energy of the flood current and to enhance the ebb current, thus prolonging the duration of morphodynamic activity as well as sediment motion. Overall, flood-dominated tides favour the formation of small-scale channel branches in the upper basin zone, while long lasting ebb-dominated tides result in more complex, wider and deeper tidal networks. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Study on tidal gravity observations obtained at stations Zhongshan and Changcheng, Antarctic

IntroductionThe purpose of the studies on the tidal gravity observations on the Earth(s surface is to investigate the properties of the deformation and the tidal gravity variations of the Earth under the action of the luni-solar tidal force. These variations relate to the internal structure, shape and the medium(s rheology properties of the Earth (Wahr, 1981; Dehant, 1987). The theoretical studies and observations indicated that the amplitudes and the tidal parameters, including the amplitud…
