    Observed cold filaments associated with mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea (2017)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-01-11
    Description: Unusual cold filaments are uncovered during the spring intermonsoon season in the South China Sea (SCS) using a suite of satellite observations. They have a width of about 100 km on average and extend several hundreds of kilometers offshore on the sea surface, providing significant cross-shelf transport of heat and nutrients. The eastward current associated with mesoscale eddies in spring in the western SCS is found to play an important role in the filament formation by advecting coastal cold waters far offshore. The meridional location of the cold filament displays considerable interannual variability ranging between 9 o N and 18 o N, which can be attributed to the interannual south-north shift of the eastward current associated with eddies. It is also found that in the spring, cold filaments have profound effects on the chlorophyll a concentration in the upper ocean and the overlying atmosphere. These findings provide new insights into the role of eddies in cross-shelf exchange and mesoscale air-sea interaction in the marginal seas.

    Tuning the Structures of AsMo12 and AsW12 into Chiral Crystals by Introducing CH3CN and H2O (2015)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-01-28
    Description: Abstract. The asymmetrical crystal [Na(15C5) 2 ][Na(15C5)] 2 (AsMo 12 O 40 )] · CH 3 CN ( 1 ) was synthesized. Interestingly, the huge α-keggin ion AsMo 12 is distorted by introduction of CH 3 CN molecules and adopts a chiral assembly with space group P 4 . In contrast, the analogous compound AsW 12 co-crystallizes with trace H 2 O molecules. The hydrogen atoms of H 2 O are positionally disordered with 50 % occupation to correlate with AsW 12 in space group P 4/ m . Solid and solution CD spectra indicate that the crystals of 1 are in R configuration. This leads to the conclusion that molybdenum has greater affinity toward organic CH 3 CN, whereas tungsten has greater affinity to inorganic H 2 O. Additionally, AsMo 12 shows greater deformability than AsW 12 . It is suggested that POMo shows a greater potential as chiral material than POW because of the flexibility of Mo. As a highlight, CH 3 CN can function as a general chiral inducer for the innovation of other chiral crystals, if fixed along one dimension.

    Low-power, ultrafast, and dynamic all-optical tunable plasmonic analog to electromagnetically induced transparency in two resonators side-coupled with a waveguide system (2015)
    American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-06-06
    Description: We theoretically and numerically investigate a low-power, ultrafast, and dynamic all-optical tunable plasmonic analog to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in two nanodisk resonators side-coupled to a metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguide system. The optical Kerr effect is enhanced by the slow light effect of the plasmonic EIT-like effect and the plasmonic waveguide based on graphene-Ag composite material structures with giant effective Kerr nonlinear coefficient. The optical Kerr effect modulation method is applied to improve tuning rate with response time of subpicoseconds or even femtoseconds. With dynamically tuning the propagation phase of the plasmonic waveguide, π -phase shift of the transmission spectrum in the plasmonic EIT-like system is achieved under excitation of a pump light with an intensity as low as 5.85 MW/cm 2 . The group delay is controlled between 0.09 and 0.4 ps. All observed schemes are analyzed rigorously through finite-difference time-domain simulations and coupled-mode formalism. Results show a new direction toward the low power consumption and ultrafast responses of integration plasmonic photonic devices and all-optical dynamical storage of light devices in optical communication and quantum information processing.

    Estimating the vertical profiles of cloud water content in warm rain clouds (2015)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-08-27
    Description: The cloud water content (CWC) in rainy clouds is a crucial parameter to determine the onset and the growth rate of precipitation, and to quantify the associated latent heating rate. No direct retrieval of CWC in rainy cloud from satellite observations is reported due to the difficulties of separating cloud particles from precipitation sized particles. However, based on multiple cloud simulations from the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model, we have found that the CWC profile in warm rains can be well determined by three macro-physical cloud properties of cloud water path (CWP), cloud top height (CTH), and cloud bottom height (CBH). The CBH can be estimated using CWP, CTH and near surface rain rate. We proposed an algorithm with a lookup table for estimating the CWC profile using CWP, CTH and near surface rain rate as inputs. The performance of this algorithm was tested with WRF model simulations and a real drizzle case observed by the CloudSat satellite. Testing verified that the algorithm can retrieve the vertical distribution of CWC correctly with few errors at different spatiotemporal scales. In addition, the algorithm is not confined to particular microphysics schemes and is valid for multiple cloud systems in different areas over the world. This algorithm is expected to improve current knowledge of cloud water content in rainy clouds.

    Social Network Analysis of Actors in Rural Development: A Case Study of Yanhe Village, Hubei Province, China (2017)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-01-24
    Description: Agricultural production, rural areas, and farmers are three key aspects of agriculture related to sustainable economic and social development in China. Rural development is a process of multi-participation, which involves actors from governments, village committees, villagers, rural economic cooperatives, enterprises, financing institutions, and non-government organizations (NGOs). Based on social network analysis (SNA), this article analyzes the social network structures and characteristics of various actors in different stages of rural development in Yanhe village, Hubei Province, China. The results show that both the village committee and villagers have great influence on rural development; NGOs are the leaders of rural environmental improvement; village cooperatives are the promoters of rural economic development; enterprises are the accelerators of rural construction and development. The study outlines the rural development model in Yanhe village where the village committee is the leader and multiple forms of participation and cooperation are present; there are excellent partnerships and communication mechanisms among the participants. The endogenous and sustainable development model identified from Yanhe village is valuable for other villages in China to adopt.
