  • crustal structure of the himalayan orogen at 90 East Longitude from project indepth deep reflection profiles
    Tectonics, 1998
    Co-Authors: M Hauck, K D Nelson, L D Brown, Wenjin Zhao, A Ross
    Abstract:

    International Deep Profiling of Tibet and the Himalaya (INDEPTH) deep seismic reflection profiles show that the Indian lithosphere is underthrusting the central Himalaya along a gently north dipping decollement that is traceable northward beneath the Tethyan belt to ∼28.6°N and to a depth of about 45 km. The decollement carries in its hanging wall a near-crustal-thickness slice of internally deformed Indian continental basement and cover represented in outcrop by the Greater Himalayan belt and structurally overlying Tethyan belt. Geometric relationships suggest that the decollement probably ramps downward beneath the northern Tethyan belt to near the base of the crust and that the hanging wall crustal slice was detached from Indian mantle lithosphere that presently underlies southern Tibet to the north. The North Himalayan anticlinorium (Kangmar dome) appears to be a large duplex ramp anticline in the hanging wall of the decollement. The South Tibetan Detachment appears to have been imaged in two areas. In the Wagye La area it appears to follow the Tethyan belt/Greater Himalayan belt contact northward in the subsurface and to have been folded over the Kangmar dome. In the Zherger La area it appears to have been active relatively recently as a ∼30° north dipping normal fault that cuts deeply into the Greater Himalayan belt allochthon. Palinspastic reconstruction indicates a minimum of about 326 km of shortening of the Indian basement across the Himalaya since the initiation of the Main Central Thrust. Hence Indian continental lithosphere, largely stripped of its overlying crust, can extend northward beneath the Tibetan plateau to at lEast 32°N, where earthquake seismological observations show that the properties of the upper mantle change markedly [e.g., McNamara et al., 1995]. Taken together, the seismic reflection and earthquake seismological observations lend support for the view that the Indian mantle lid mechanically underplates roughly the southern half of the Tibetan plateau. The INDEPTH reflection data do not show that Indian crust attached to this lithosphere extends north of southernmost Tibet (Kangmar dome), nor do they negate this possibility. Similarly, the reflection data do not yield direct evidence for or against lower-crustal subduction beneath the Himalaya.

  • Research on Channel Modeling and Simulation for Oceanic Evaporation Duct
    Computer Simulation, 2012
    Co-Authors: Wu Wei
    Abstract:

    This paper analyzed the characteristics and necessary conditions of channel for evaporation ducts with focus on time variable and multi-path fading character.The radio wave propagation loss in the evaporation duct over the sea surface was simulated using the Fourier-Split-Step algorithm for the parabolic equation.The paper introduced and simulated a model for evaporation ducts channel which is time varying and multi-path affected.The results indicate that this channel model can simulate the real duct channel over seas between north latitude 20°~25 °and East Longitude 110°~115° in neutral atmosphere stratification and provide some references for communication system over the horizon based on evaporation ducts.
