Oceanic microseisms are ambient noise in the observations of gravimeter and seismograph, which are now subjected to pioneering and interdisciplinary research in marine physics, seismology, gravity and meteorology as the variation of their amplitudes, frequencies and polarization can reveal some characteristics of sea roughness and global climate change. In this proposal, we are to carry out an in-depth study of microseisme observations in Chinese Mainland and its neighbourhood. After analysis of the long-term recordings, we obtain the spatio-temporal and spatio-frequency distributions of microseism intensity and polarization directions. With spatiotemporal change of microseimise, meteorological observations in China and global climate change indices, we plan to create a climate-microseism database, so as to studying how to monitor global climate change effects on the weather change in China with help of microseismic observations, and then use datamine to explore the possibility of utlizing microseims observations as an essential element for predicting extreme climate events in mainland China. We will also pay attention to strong abnormal microseisms with much higher amplitude than that of seismic ambient noise in part of Western China, the farthest land away from coasts on Earth. In order to study the cause of the abnormal microseisms, we are to analyze their wave composition and polarization and to locate their excitation sources, and then analyze meteorological and GPS observations around the sources during strong abnormal microseismic times. The result will help us to understand which is the main cause of the the abnormal microseismsn, meteorological change or the Earth's interior dynamic activity, and thus point future researchers in the right direction for further study of excitation mechanism of strong abnormal microseisms in Western China. Earth's hum is Earth's free osciallation which observed on the days without significant earthquakes. That the mechanism relates Earth's hum to atmospheric turbulence or to oceanic infragravity has been an issue concerned by current research in geophysics. As typhoon only excits strong turbulent motion in the atmosphere when it arrives at land, we will compare the the microseisms excited by landfall typhoons and non-landfall typhoons at the coast of China, which may provide a clue to understanding the mechanism of excitation of Earth's hum.
海洋地脉动是地球物理观测记录中常见的背景噪音信号,由于其许多变化特征与全球气候变化紧密相关,地脉动研究目前正成为海洋物理学、地震学、重力学和气象学的前沿和交叉研究热点。本项目将通过深入分析中国大陆及其邻域的地脉动长期观测,结合全球气候变化指数和中国大陆气象观测,建立气候-地脉动数据库,研究中国大陆地脉动变化与全球气候变化的关系,利用基于数据库的数据挖掘方法探索地脉动观测能否作为预测中国大陆极端气侯事件的一个要素。中国大陆西部拥有地球上距海岸最远的陆域,却常出现强烈的异常地脉动信号。本项目将通过分析西部地脉动的组成,对其震动源进行定位,进而分析震动源处的气象观测和GPS观测,科学解释其产生的原因。非地震地球自由震荡是甚长周期的地脉动,其激发原因是大气湍流还是海洋重力波?这是地球物理基础研究关注的问题。本项目将通过分析登陆台风和非登陆台风的地脉动信号,研究非地震自由振荡的激发原因。
