Sea-ice growth and decay in Antarctica is one of the biggest seasonal changes on Earth, expanding ice cover from 4 × 106 km2 to a maximum of 19 × 106 km2 during the austral winter. Analyses of six marine sediment cores from the Scotia Sea, SW Atlantic, yield records of sea-ice migration across the basin since the Lateglacial. The cores span nearly ten degrees of latitude from the modern seasonal sea-ice zone to the modern Polar Front. Surface sediments in the cores comprise predominantly diatomaceous oozes and muddy diatom oozes that reflect Holocene conditions. The cores exhibit similar down-core stratigraphies with decreasing diatom concentrations and increasing magnetic susceptibility from modern through to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Sediments in all cores contain sea-ice diatoms that preserve a signal of changing sea-ice cover and permit reconstruction of past sea-ice dynamics. The sea-ice records presented here are the first to document the position of both the summer and winter sea-ice cover at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the Scotia Sea. Comparison of the LGM and Holocene sea-ice conditions shows that the average winter sea-ice extent was at least 5° further north at the LGM. Average summer sea-ice extent was south of the most southerly core site at the LGM, and suggests that sea-ice expanded from approximately ~61°S to ~52°S each season. Our data also suggest that the average summer sea-ice position at the LGM was not the maximum extent of summer sea-ice during the last glacial. Instead, the sediments contain evidence of a pre-LGM maximum extent of summer sea-ice between ~30 ka and 22 ka that extended to ~59°S, close to the modern average winter sea-ice limit. Based on our reconstruction we propose that the timing of the maximum extent of summer sea-ice and subsequent retreat by 22 ka, could be insolation controlled and that the strong links between sea-ice and bottom water formation provide a potential mechanism by which Southern Hemisphere regional sea-ice dynamics at the LGM could have a global impact and promote deglaciation.  相似文献

The surface energy budget on the debris-covered Koxkar Glacier in China   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Energy fluxes were measured by using the eddy covariance system plus an automatic weather station at the debris-covered area on Koxkar Glacier from March to August, 2009. The coldest month of the glacier was January, and air temperature reached a maximum in July and August. Wind velocity at 2.0 m was higher in summer and lower in winter as a whole. Precipitation was concentrated from May to September and accounted for about 80 % of the total. Daily latent heat fluxes were higher than daily sensible heat fluxes during the observation period. The main reason for higher latent heat fluxes from March to April was snow cover. From June to August, latent heat fluxes during the daytime were limited by surface water content, and were lower than sensible heat fluxes, but latent heat fluxes were higher than sensible heat fluxes during summer nights because of air convection in the debris layer. Summer evaporation was higher than in the spring, and evaporation was 53.7 % of the precipitation from 19 June to 23 August. The Bowen ratio ranged from ?2.0 to 2.0 at the site.  相似文献

In order to determine time-dependent changes in estuarine pore-water chemistry and flux variations across the sediment-water interface, sediment cores of an intertidal mud flat in the Weser Estuary were taken monthly over a one-year period. Sediment temperature, pH, Eh, Cl, O2, NO 3 , and SO 4 2– pore-water concentrations were measured and showed variations that relate to the changes of surface temperature and estuarine water composition. Fick's first law was applied to quantify diffusive fluxes from concentration gradients in the diffusive boundary layer and in the pore water. Total nitrate fluxes were calculated from flux chamber experiments. Diffusive oxygen fluxes increased from 5 mmol m–2 d–1 in winter to 18 mmol m–2 d–1 in early summer, while nitrate fluxes into the sediment increased from 3 mmol m–2 d–1 in winter to 60 mmol m–2 d–1 in early summer. Oxygen and nitrate fluxes into the sediment correlated linearly to sediment temperature. Sulfate fluxes increased from 0.5 mmol m–2 d–1 in winter to 10 mmol m–2 d–1 in August and September. Converted into carbon fluxes, the sum of these oxidants ranged from 10 mmol m–2 d–1 in winter to 80 mmol m–2 d–1 in summer. An estimation of the upper limit of the annual nitrate flux into the sediment showed that about 10% of the 250,000 t of nitrate discharged annually by the river may be decomposed within the inner Weser Estuary.  相似文献

以重庆南山老龙洞岩溶地下河流域为例,通过分析地下河水DIC变化特征与来源,估算了流域岩溶碳汇通量,并探讨了自然条件和人类活动对岩溶碳汇的影响。研究结果表明,老龙洞地下河的水化学类型为Ca-HCO3-SO4型,显示其形成过程中受碳酸盐岩碳酸溶蚀和硫酸溶蚀共同控制。地下河水DIC浓度为3.1~6.3mmol/L,其中夏季因受降雨稀释作用影响DIC较冬季的低;地下河水δ13CDIC值介于-3.8‰~-13.1‰之间,且夏季比冬季偏高约2‰。根据地下河水DIC浓度和流域径流量计算出流域岩溶净碳汇通量均值约为167.31×103mol/(km2?a)。降雨条件下,流域岩溶碳汇通量随流域径流量的迅速增加而增加。另外,流域碳酸盐岩溶蚀还受到人类活动产生的硫酸型酸雨影响,使得地下水δ13CDIC值相对偏高,它在一定程度上减少了流域碳汇通量。   相似文献

Previous work on surface (modern) sediments has defined diatom species which appear to be good indicators of various oceanographic/ecologic conditions in the North Pacific Ocean and marginal seas. Three long cores from the eastern and northern sides of the Aleutian Basin show changes in species assemblage which can be interpreted in terms of changes in the ocean environment during the last glaciation (Wisconsin) and the Holocene. The early and late Wisconsin maxima were times of prolonged annual sea-ice cover and a short cool period of phytoplankton productivity during the ice-free season. The middle Wisconsin interstade, at least in the southern Bering Sea, had greater seasonal contrast than today, with some winter sea-ice cover, an intensified temperature minimum, and high spring productivity. Variations in clastic and reworked fossil material imply varying degrees of transport to the basin by Alaskan rivers. The results of Jousé from the central Bering Sea generally correspond with those presented here, although there are problems with direct comparison.  相似文献

Diatoms from surface sediment samples collected from Enderby Basin of Indian Sector of Southern Ocean were analyzed to determine the relative abundance and distribution of seven key indicator diatom species viz. Sea ice related species Fragilariopsis rhombica, F. separanda, F. curta, F. ritscheri, Thalassiosira tumida and Actinocyclus actinochilus and Open Ocean species F. kerguelensis on the basis of modern physico-chemical parameters. The relative abundances of different species observed viz. F. rhombica — 6.25%; F. separanda — 12.5%; F. curta — 10.53–13.33%; F. ritscheri — 4.55–12.5%; F. kerguelensis — 6.25–63.64%; T. tumida — 3.13% and A. actinochilus — 9.38–13.33%. The increasing abundance of F. kerguelensis consecutively suggests the effect of Antarctic bottom water in the study area which is further substantiated by the presence and increasing abundance of F. ritscheri. The gradual decrease in abundance or absence of sea ice related species from the sampled stations indicates the summer and winter sea ice extent concentration in the study area. The nutrient concentration correlates with the distribution and abundances of diatom species.  相似文献

通过对东海海—气界面二氧化碳(CO2)交换有关研究的总结,剖析了东海表层海水CO2分压(pCO2)的区域分布特征,探讨了海—气界面CO2通量(FCO2)的季节变化规律,诠释了影响海—气界面CO2转移的主要因素.结果表明,东海表层海水pCO2的区域分布具有明显的季节变化,可将其分为冬季、夏季、过渡季节(春季、秋季)3个时段.冬季西部近岸海域由于水体垂直交换强烈,造成表层水体pCO2较高,而中、东部陆架海域由于浮游生物的光合作用使得pCO2较低.夏季近岸河口海域由于陆源输入的影响导致pCO2较高,中、东部陆架海域受温跃层、长江冲淡水、浮游植物的综合作用pCO2较低.春季、秋季为过渡时段,表层海水pCO2分布变化剧烈,受控因素较为复杂.东海全年表现为大气CO2的净汇,其中冬、春、夏为碳汇,其海—气界面FCO2分别为(-6.68±6.93),(-4.94±0.80),(-3.67±1.09)mmol/(m2·d).秋季表现为碳源,通量约为(1.50±8.37)mmoL/(m2·d).东海全年平均通量约为-3.16 mmol/(m2·d),共可吸收CO2约为6.92×106 t C/a.不同季节海—气界面FCO2的年际变化凸显了人为因素的影响,近海富营养化加剧,三峡工程的运行都可能是造成东海冬季碳汇量减少、秋季碳源/汇格局转变的原因.  相似文献

农田N_2O通量测定方法分析   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

采用空气动力学方法、波文比 /能量平衡法及密闭箱法结合气相色谱分析对农田N2 O通量进行了测定。在夏天和秋天观测前的 1~ 2周 ,148和 10 9kgNhm-2 肥料被分别施入夏玉米田和冬小麦田。实验表明 :空气动力学法与波文比 /能量平衡法测定的N2 O通量在冬小麦田较为接近 ,在夏玉米田则相差较大。夏玉米冠层上方温湿梯度的细微变化可导致能量平衡法计算的N2 O通量发生较大离散 ,从而与空气动力学法的计算结果产生较大偏差。观测期间 ,微气象法和密闭箱法测定的农田N2 O日平均通量在夏玉米田分别为 18± 37和 8± 5ngNm-2 ·s-1;在冬小麦田分别为 43± 2 1和 6± 1ngNm-2 ·s-1。微气象法测定的农田N2 O通量高于密闭箱法的观测值 ,由此推测作物冠层可释放N2O ,其机制可能是土壤中生成的N2 O被作物的蒸腾液流输送到大气中。微气象法和密闭箱法测定的N2 O通量间的差异在冬小麦田大于夏玉米田 ,表明冬小麦释放N2 O的量大于夏玉米。这可能是冬小麦根系分布较夏玉米深的缘故。采用密闭箱法观测时 ,箱内气温发生变化 ,半小时内最高可增加10℃ ,因地温变化小 ,其对土壤中N2 O的生成并无显著影响。由于密闭箱法观测忽略或低估了植物释放的N2 O ,且箱内的边界层阻力可能高于箱外 ,其测定的地表N2 O通量偏小。  相似文献

南极海冰与气候   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
在极区,海冰的形成在海洋上部和大气下部之间构成了新的交界面,改变了大洋表面的辐射平衡和能量平衡,隔离了海洋与大气之间的热交换和水汽交换;海冰冻融过程影响着大洋温、盐流的形成和强度;海冰对南大洋和南极大陆气象、气候有重要的影响,在气候环境系统中起着重要的作用。南极海冰作用区约占南半球雪冰作用区面积的58%,约占地球表面积的3.58%。其中,一年生海冰约占南极海冰区分布面积的83%;其分布面积从夏末2月份最小时的3×106 km2左右,到9月份冬末最大时的18×106 km2左右,一年中季节变化幅度可达15×106 km2,季节变化率>500%。海冰分布区域的年际变化较大。南极海冰区是影响季节和年际全球气候环境变化的重要区域。当前,国际南极海冰与气候研究的核心问题是海冰物理过程和在海冰区的海洋—大气相互作用。结合目前承担的研究课题,对国际南极海冰与气候研究的前沿动态和相关的国际计划进行了综述。  相似文献

冰芯中MSA含量具有季节性变化规律, 夏季出现峰值, 冬季为低值. 一定地区MSA高含量和海冰扩展存在相关关系, 有的地区MSA含量还与ENSO事件有一定相关性. MSA/ nssSO42-比值对温度和来源区域都有很好的指示意义. 在一定的条件下冰芯中的MSA可以发生迁移和再定位, 由此也对利用冰芯MSA含量反演当时大气气溶胶中成分含量的准确性提出了质疑. 总结了近几年来冰芯研究中的MSA和nssSO42-, 特别是极地冰芯MSA的研究进展, 并对利用MSA来研究全球变化的前景进行了预测和展望.  相似文献

海气CO2交换速率及通量的测定、估算是碳循环研究的重要内容。测定、估算海气CO2交换速率及通量有多种方法,但都有其局限性,准确定量海气碳通量的大小仍是碳循环研究的热点问题。当前应用最广泛的海气界面分压差法需要通过间接手段测定海气交换速率,交换速率和风速的关系基于经验公式,不确定性较大;而涡动相关法(eddy covariance / eddy correlation)是一种直接测量方法,理论上不需要任何经验参数,在近年来取得较大进展。综述了近年来国内外CO2海气交换速率及通量的测定、估算方法的研究进展,并对各种方法的原理、应用、优缺点进行了分析,着重介绍了涡动相关法测量CO2通量的原理、国内外研究现状、相对传统方法的优缺点以及发展前景等,对未来海气CO2交换速率及通量研究发展趋势和研究方法作了展望。  相似文献

政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)于2021年8月发布了第六次评估报告第一工作组报告《气候变化2021:自然科学基础》。该报告基于最新的观测和模拟研究,评估了冰冻圈变化的现状,并采用CMIP6模式对未来变化进行了预估。报告明确指出,近十多年来冰冻圈呈现加速萎缩状态:北极海冰面积显著减小、厚度减薄、冰量迅速减少;格陵兰冰盖、南极冰盖和全球山地冰川物质亏损加剧;多年冻土温度升高、活动层增厚,海底多年冻土范围减少;北半球积雪范围也在明显变小,但积雪量有较大空间差异。冰冻圈的快速萎缩加速海平面的上升。未来人类活动对冰冻圈萎缩的影响将愈加显著,从而导致北极海冰面积继续减少乃至消失,冰盖和冰川物质将持续亏损,多年冻土和积雪的范围继续缩减。报告也提出,目前冰冻圈研究仍存在观测资料稀缺、模型对各影响因素的敏感性参数和过程描述亟需提升、对吸光性杂质的变化机制认知不足等问题,从而影响了对冰冻圈变化预估的准确性,未来需要重点关注。  相似文献

The Working Group I report of the Sixth Assessment Report(AR6)of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)was released in August 2021. Base on updated and expanding data, AR6 presented the improved assessment of past changes and processes of cryosphere. AR6 also predicted the future changes us⁃ ing the models in CMIP6. The components of cryosphere were rapid shrinking under climate warming in the last decade. There were decreasing trends in Arctic sea-ice area and thickness. Sea-ice loss was significant. The Greenland Ice Sheet, the Antarctic Ice Sheet and all glaciers lost more mass than in any other decade. Global warming over the last decades had led to widespread permafrost warming, active layer thickness increasing and subsea permafrost extent reducing. Snow cover extent in the Northern Hemisphere also decreased significantly. However, the variations of snow depth and snow water equivalent showed great spatial heterogeneity. The rapid shrinking of the cryosphere accelerated the global mean sea level rise. The impact of human activities on cryo⁃ sphere will become more significant in the future. The Arctic sea-ice area will decrease, and the Arctic Ocean will likely become practically sea ice-free. The Greenland Ice Sheet, the Antarctic Ice Sheet and glaciers will continue to lose mass throughout this century. Permafrost and Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent will con⁃ tinue to decrease as global climate continues to warm. In addition, there are still uncertainties in the prediction of cryosphere due to the absence of observations, the poor sensitivity of models to the components and processes of cryosphere, and the inexplicit represent of the mechanism of light-absorbing impurities. More attentions should be paid on these issues in the future. © 2022 Science Press (China). All rights reserved.  相似文献

The Service d’Observation de la Rade de Villefranche-sur-Mer is designed to study the temporal variability of hydrological conditions as well as the abundance and composition of holo- and meroplankton at a fixed station in this bay of the northwest Mediterranean. The weekly data collected at this site, designated as “Point B” since 1957, represent a long-term time series of hydrological conditions in a coastal environment. Since 2007, the historical measurements of hydrological and biological conditions have been complemented by measurements of the CO2–carbonic acid system parameters. In this contribution, CO2–carbonic acid system parameters and ancillary data are presented for the period 2007–2011. The data are evaluated in the context of the physical and biogeochemical processes that contribute to variations in CO2 in the water column and exchange of this gas between the ocean and atmosphere. Seasonal cycles of the partial pressure of CO2 in seawater (pCO2) are controlled principally by variations in temperature, showing maxima in the summer and minima during the winter. Normalization of pCO2 to the mean seawater temperature (18.5 °C), however, reveals an apparent reversal of the seasonal cycle with maxima observed in the winter and minima in the summer, consistent with a biogeochemical control of pCO2 by primary production. Calculations of fluxes of CO2 show this area to be a weak source of CO2 to the atmosphere during the summer and a weak sink during the winter but near neutral overall (range ?0.3 to +0.3 mmol CO2 m?2 h?1, average 0.02 mmol CO2 m?2 h?1). We also provide an assessment of errors incurred from the estimation of annual fluxes of CO2 as a function of sampling frequency (3-hourly, daily, weekly), using data obtained at the Hawaii Kilo Nalu coastal time-series station, which shows similar behavior to the Point B location despite significant differences in climate and hydrological conditions and the proximity of a coral reef ecosystem.  相似文献

Benthic fluxes in two southern California borderland basins have been estimated by modeling water column property gradients, by modeling pore water gradients and by measuring changes in concentration in a benthic chamber. Results have been used to compare the different methods, to establish budgets for biogenic silica and carbon and to estimate rate constants for models of CaCO3 dissolution. In San Pedro Basin, a low oxygen, high sedimentation rate area, fluxes of radon-222 (86 ± 8 atoms m−2 s−1), SiO2 (0.7 ± 0.1 mmol m−2 d−1), alkalinity (1.7 ± 0.3 meq m−2 d−1), TCO2 (1.9 ± 0.3 mmol m−2 d−1) and nitrate (−0.8 ± 0.1 mmol m−2 d−1) measured in a benthic chamber agree within the measurement uncertainty with fluxes estimated from modeling profiles of nutrients and radon obtained in the water column. The diffusive fluxes of radon, SiO2 and TCO2 determined from modeling the sediment and pore water also agree with the other approaches. Approximately 33 ± 13% of the organic carbon and 37 ± 47% of the CaCO3 arriving at the sea floor are recycled. In San Nicolas Basin, which has larger oxygen concentrations and lower sedimentation rates than San Pedro, the fluxes of radon (490 ± 16 atoms m−2 s−1), SiO2 (0.7 ± 0.1 mmol m−2 d−1), alkalinity (1.7 ± 0.3 meq m−2 d−1), TCO2 (1.7 ± 0.2 mmol m−2 d−1), oxygen (−0.7 ± 0.1 mmol m−2 d−1) and nitrate (-0.4 ± 0.1 mmol m−2 d−1) determined from chamber measurements agree with the water column estimates given the uncertainty of the measurements and model estimates. Diffusion from the sediments matches the lander-measured SiO2 and PO43− (0.017 ± 0.002 mmol m−2 d−1) fluxes, but is not sufficient to supply the radon or TCO2 fluxes observed with the lander. In San Nicolas Basin 38 ± 9% of the organic carbon and 43 ± 22% of the CaCO3 are recycled. Approximately 90% of the biogenic silica arriving at the sea floor in each basin is recycled. The rates of CaCO3 dissolution determined from chamber flux measurements and material balances for protons and electrons are compared to those predicted by previously published models of CaCO3 dissolution and this comparison indicates that in situ rates are comparable to those observed in laboratory studies of bulk sediments, but orders of magnitude less than those observed in experiments done with suspended sediments.  相似文献

Challenged by the enormous pressure to reduce the global carbon emission, it is expected that the Arctic Ocean could absorb additional atmospheric CO2 with the retreating of sea-ice. The Chukchi Sea and adjacent waters, characterized by the highest carbon fixation in the global ocean and large carbon flux into the deep-ocean for sequestration, make substantial contributions to carbon cycling in the entire Arctic Ocean. Understanding the response mechanism of carbon cycling in this region to the rapidly changing environment is the foundation for the prediction of carbon sink in the Arctic Ocean. However, the response of carbon absorption and storage to climate change is still controversial, and the main controlling factors of the carbon cycle process remain unclear.Thus, to establish high-resolution coupled ocean-ice-carbon models can explore the influence of sea ice retreat on atmospheric CO2 and the vertical sinking carbon fluxes in Chukchi Sea, estimate the effectiveness of growing inflow and slope upwelling on carbon sink/source patterns, discuss the response of deep-ocean carbon sequestration to the changing environment, and evaluate the effectiveness of continental shelf pump in the Chukchi Sea as well as its role in the global carbon sink. Based on the challenge for the research of the Chukchi Sea carbon cycle research with rapidly changing climate, the basic ideas of establishing Arctic Ocean carbon cycling model as well as its key scientific issues to be resolved were proposed.  相似文献
