Seismic exploration in desert area of Tarim basin [PDF]

open access: yesASEG Extended Abstracts, 2010
Tarim basin is located in northwestern China and is the one of main basins with abundant oil and gas. Due to existence of thick low velocity-reducing layer in desert area of the basin, it is very difficult to gain good seismic datum. The main problem in collecting data include: 1) Bad shot and receiving situation cause very low signalto- noise ratio ...

The provenance of Taklamakan desert sand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sand migration in the vast Taklamakan desert within the Tarim Basin (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region, PR China) is governed by two competing transport agents: wind and water, which work in diametrically opposed directions. Net aeolian transport is from

Atmospheric recycling of agricultural evapotranspiration in the Tarim Basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Precipitation recycling, defined as that precipitation in a region is partially contributed by evapotranspiration from the same region, is the interaction between terrestrial hydrology and atmospheric processes, and plays a crucial role in forming water resources.

Refined assessment of potential evapotranspiration in the tarim basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
As an important part of surface hydrothermal process, the study of evapotranspiration has been paid more attention, and it has an important reference value for the optimal allocation of regional water resources. It hinders the accurate assessment of evapotranspiration in arid zones and its response to climate change because human activities have ...
