Short-term Climate Characteristics at Ny-(A)lesund over the Arctic Tundra Area

Based on the Germany Koldwey Station's 1994-2003 conventional observation hourly data, this paper conducts a statistical analysis on the short-term climate characteristics for an arctic tundra region (Ny-(A)lesund island) where our first arctic expedition station (Huanghe Station) was located. Affected by the North Atlantic warming current, this area has a humid temperate climate, and the air temperature at Ny-(A)lesund rose above 0 ℃ even during deep winter season during our research period. The wind speed in this area was low and appeared most at southeast direction. We find that the temperature at Ny-(A)lesund rose in the faster rate (0.68 ℃/10 a) than those at the whole Arctic area. Compared with the floating ices where our expedition conducted in the Arctic, Ny-(A)lesund was warmer and more humid and had lower wind speed. Comparison of the near surface air temperature derived by NCEP/NCAR reanalysis to the conventional measurements conducted at the Koldwey site in Ny-(A)lesund area shows a good agreement for winter season and a significant difference for summer season.

Analysis on accuracy of Engineering Star RTK in cadastral survey based on SOUTH-CORS

Currently,with the fast development of GPS technique,GPS RTK is rapidly being applied to the cadastral survey.GPS RTK technique not only improves efficiency and accelerates the rate of mapping,but also increases economic efficiency.The authors introduced a method for GPS RTK rapid positioning,which uses continuous operational reference system (CORS) as a base station to change the method of previous map drawing by obtaining real-time three-dimensional coordinates of boundary points and statistically analyzing with the three-dimensional coordinates obtained by Total Station to get the accuracy of GPS RTK real-time coordinates.The application of GPS RTK in practical measurement was discussed when the data link had been lost especially.The results show that the three-dimensional coordinates measured by total station can be replaced by real-time three-dimensional coordinates measured by Engineering Star RTK in the CORS.

Soluble species in aerosols collected on the route of the Second Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition

Aerosol samples are collected on the route of the Second Chinese NationalArctic Research Expedition from July 15 to September 28,2003.The concentration ofwater soluble ions(Na~+,NH_4~+,Ca~(2+),Cl~-,MSA,SO_4~(2-)and so on)are ana-lyzed.By correlation analysis,the ions can be divided into three groups:(1)Na~+,Mg~(2+),K~+,Ca~(2+),Cl~-,SO_4~(2-),mainly from sea salt;(2)NH_4~+,NO_3~-,markedlyfrom coastal regions of the continents;(3)Acetate,MSA,C_2O_4~(2-),from othersources.Marine aerosols are the dominant origin,Cl~- and Na~+ are the most domi-nant anion and cation,respectively and these two ions(Na~++Cl~-)account for 55.6% of the total aerosol loading.The mean equivalence ratio of NH_4~+/SO_4~(2-)is 0.45,we suggest that ammonium and sulfate exist mainly as NH_4HSO_4.The concentrationof NO_3~- shows three different patterns on the route of expedition:Japan Sea with me-dian value of 15.2 neq·m~(-3);Sea of Okhostk and Bering Sea of 1.8 neq·m~(-3)andArctic Ocean of 0.4 neq·m~(-3).Bering Sea is a high MSA area.Through the com-parison of the concentration of main water soluble ions between the First and SecondChinese National Arctic Research Expedition,the variation matches each other.

北京对外交通枢纽乘客OD时空分布特征

对外交通枢纽对城市内部的客流交通有重大影响,研究其乘客在市内的OD分布对优化设计地面接驳线路、沿线站点等有重要意义。本文基于北京出租车GPS数据,选取具有代表性的3类对外交通枢纽（机场、火车站、汽车客运站）,采用标准差椭圆分析、核密度估计以及分时点统计等方法,研究了北京对外交通枢纽乘客OD时空分布特征。结果表明：（1）机场、火车站客流量远大于汽车客运站,其中首都国际机场与北京西站的对外出行客流量最大,南苑机场和北京北站的对外出行客流量较少;（2）机场乘客主要分布在四环以里大部分地区以及五环以里部分地区,时间上主要分布在除凌晨1-4时的各个时间段;火车站乘客主要分布在四环以里区域,时间上主要分布在6-21时;汽车客运站乘客主要分布在各客运站周边区域,时间上主要集中在6-17时;（3）北京南站与北京西站、北京站间的客流联系较多,可考虑开通北京南站与二者间的地面接驳专线。此外,抵离首都国际机场、南苑机场的乘客主要分布区域与新开通的机场往返市区的巴士线路站点较为一致,说明采用出租车数据进行乘客OD分析可为决策部门进行相关交通规划提供依据。

Some discussions on Arctic vortex

The Arctic vortex is a persistent large-scale cyclonic circulation in the middle and upper troposphere and the stratosphere. Its activity and variation control the semi-permanent active centers of Pan-Arctic and the short-time cyclone activity in the subarctic areas. Its strength variation, which directly relates to the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice and ecosystem of the Arctic, can affect the lower atmospheric circulation, the weather of subarctic area and even the weather of middle latitude areas. The 2003 Chinese Second Arctic Research Expedition experienced the transition of the stratosphereic circulation from a warm anticyclone to a cold cyclone during the ending period of Arctic summertime, a typical establishing process of the polar vortex circulation. The impact of the polar vortex： variation on the low-level circulation has been investigated by some scientists through studying the coupling mechanisms of the stratosphere and troposphere. The impact of the Stratospheric Sudden Warming （SFW） events on the polar vortex variation was drawing people＇s great attention in the fifties of the last century. The Arctic Oscillation （ AO）, relating to the variation of the Arctic vortex, has been used to study the impact of the Arctic vortex on climate change. The recent Arctic vortex studies are simply reviewed and some discussions on the Arctic vertex are given in the paper. Some different views and questions are also discussed.     

Experimental Application of Intelligent Robot Technology in Antarctic Scientific Expedition

Intelligent robot technology has great potential for application in polar scientific expedition. During the 24th Chinese Antarctic Expedition in the summer of 2007/08, our ice-snow surface mobile and the low-flying robots were successfully employed for the first time in the Antarctic. This paper firstly gives a brief introduction to the intelligent robot technology developed abroad and used in the Antarctic, then focuses on the ice-snow surface mobile and the low-flying robots developed by China as well as their field trials in the Antarctic. Moreover, the authors have considered the potential demand for the intelligent robot technology in China's Antarctic scientific expedition, in the hope of providing some reference for the future development of robot technologies.
