An examination of the relation between runoff rate, R, and concentration, C, of twelve major constituents in four small watersheds in eastern Puerto Rico demonstrates a consistent pattern of responses. For solutes that are not substantially bioactive (alkalinity, silica, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and chloride), the log(R)–log(C) relation is almost linear and can be described as a weighted average of two sources, bedrock weathering and atmospheric deposition. The slope of the relation for each solute depends on the respective source contributions to the total river load. If a solute were strictly derived from bedrock weathering, the slope would be ?0.3 to ?0.4, whereas if strictly derived from atmospheric deposition, the slope would be approximately ?0.1. The bioactive constituents (dissolved organic carbon, nitrate, sulfate, and potassium), which are recycled by plants and concentrated in shallow soil, demonstrate nearly flat or downward-arched log(R)–log(C) relations. The peak of the arch represents a transition from dominantly soil-matrix flow to near-surface macropore flow, and finally to overland flow. At highest observed R (80 to >90 mm/h), essentially all reactive surfaces have become wetted, and the input rate of C becomes independent of R (log(R)–log(C) slope of –1). The highest R are tenfold greater than any previous study. Slight clockwise hysteresis for many solutes in the rivers with riparian zones or substantial hyporheic flows indicates that these settings may act as mixing end-members. Particulate constituents (suspended sediment and particulate organic carbon) show slight clockwise hysteresis, indicating mobilization of stored sediment during rising stage. 相似文献

Suspended sediment concentration is a major variable influencing soil erosion and loss, study on which at different spatial
scales is of great meaning to understand soil erosion mechanism and sediment transport process. Based on data from 4 sloping
surfaces and 7 basins ranging from 0.0003 to 187 km2 in area, the suspended sediment concentration in flood season (SSC) with drainage area is studied. With increasing drainage
area on the slope surfaces, the mean suspended sediment concentration in flood season (MSSC) enhances continuously until a
peak value of 685 kg m−3 occurs at the whole slope surface No. 7 runoff plot resulting from harder and harder erosion forms downslope. Entering basin
systems, the diluted action of subsurface water on the toeslope on MSSC and small water flow power Ω make a minimum MSSC value
of 568 kg m−3 occur in the first-order basin system Tuanshangou basin at an area of 0.18 km2, and then from Tuanshangou basin to larger basins, the positive feedback function among drainage density, water flow energy,
and hyperconcentrated flow as well as its reduction of settling velocity of coarser particles generates continuously increasing
MSSC with drainage area. 相似文献

The Jurassic coals of the Junggar and Turpan-Hami basins, Xinjiang, China, are characterized by abundant vitrinite. Microscopic
analysis of Junggar coal samples indicates that they contain desmocollinite and hydrogen-rich vitrinite with a low reflectivity.
The hydrocarbon-generating potential of various macerais follows the decreasing order of exinite > vitrinite > inertinite.
However, desmocollinite is a principal maceral for hydrocarbon generation in this area because the content of vitrinite is
higher than that of exinite. Data from simulating experiments and infrared spectra show that the hydrocarbon-generating process
occurred primarily at the lower-mature stage in the Middle-Lower Jurassic coal measures. Generally, crude oil from the Qigu
oilfield has a close similarity in hopanoid distribution to the vitrinite and exinite from the Jurassic strata with C23-C32 pentacyclic triterpanes and γ-lupane being present. The distribution of steranes is also similar. C29-sitostane is dominant and Q27 ergostane is subordinate. Only a trace amount of cholestane is present. All this suggests that the crude oil from the Qigu
oilfield was derived from Jurassic coal measures. 相似文献

The uncertainty in the spatial distributions of consolidation settlement (s c) and time (t p) for Songdo New City is evaluated by using a probabilistic procedure. Ordinary kriging and three theoretical semivariogram models are used to estimate the spatial distributions of geo-layers which affect s c and t p in this study. The spatial map of mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) for s c and t p are determined by using a first-order second moment method based on the evaluated statistics and probability density functions (PDFs) of soil properties. It is shown that the coefficients of variation (COVs) of the compression ratio [C c/(1 + e 0)] and the coefficient of consolidation (c v) are the most influential factors on the uncertainties of s c and t p, respectively. The μ and σ of the s c and t p, as well as the probability that s c exceeds 100 cm [P(s c > 100 cm)] and the probability that t p exceeds 36 months [P(t p > 36 months)] in Sect. 1, are observed to be larger than those of other sections because the thickness of the consolidating layer in Sect. 1 is the largest in the entire study area. The area requiring additional fill after the consolidation appears to increase as the COV of C c/(1 + e 0) increases and as the probabilistic design criterion (α) decreases. It is also shown that the area requiring the prefabricated vertical drains installation increases as the COV of c v increases and as the α decreases. The design procedure presented in this paper could be used in the decision making process for the design of geotechnical structures at coastal reclamation area. 相似文献

In this study, an assessment of seismicity parameters in the northwest Himalaya and adjoining regions using an earthquake catalog from India Meteorological Department covering a period from June 1, 1998 to June 30, 2011 has been carried out. The spatial distributions of seismicity parameters, namely magnitude of completeness, M C, a value, b value, and correlation fractal dimension, D C, are estimated for the studied region. The M C, a, and b values are found to be 2.5, 4.601, and 0.83, respectively. Despite significant gaps, the spatial distributions of a and b values are seen to follow similar trend and are found scattering in between Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and South Tibet Detachment, adjoining areas of Mahendragarh-Dehradun Fault (MDF), Delhi-Haridwar Ridge (DHR) and Moradabad Fault (MF), and the southern flank of Karakoram Fault and Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone. The estimated spatial distribution of b and a values is within 90 % of confidence level, thereby indicating non-uniform stress accumulation or higher rock fracturing density in the studied region caused by strong tectonization following several earthquakes. Negative correlation between low b value and high D C is observed predominantly in the region between the MBT and Munsiari Thrust or Main Central Thrust-I of Garhwal and Kumaon Himalaya, adjoining zones of MDF, DHR, and MF of Indo-Gangetic plain, and the eastern flank of the studied region, suggesting the presence of asperities in the zone. At the same time, active creeping process can be inferred in between the MBT and Main Central Thrust of Garhwal Himalaya and the surrounding areas of Shimla region of the Himalayan arc to the northwestern part of the studied region from the positive correlation between b value and D C. The results indicate that the structural heterogeneity caused by different stress accumulation and rock fracturing densities exists due to continuous tectonic adjustments between different geomorphic features of the studied region. An attempt has also been made to classify the studied region into smaller seismic zones by observing the spatial patterns of b value and D C that are fractal properties of the observed seismicity, along with the prevalent fault networks. 相似文献

含油气盆地超剥带的勘探以重质油-油砂为主。在准噶尔盆地西北缘超剥带的中生代油砂中发现了轻质油,报道了其基本特征与成藏模式,并探讨了勘探意义。结果表明,轻质油呈黄绿色荧光,与呈黄褐色荧光的重质油共生。油砂连续抽提发现,重质油充注在前(颗粒吸附烃/包裹体烃),轻质油充注在后(孔隙游离烃),油源均来自研究区玛湖凹陷下二叠统风城组,典型生标特征为Pr/Ph值小于1,伽马腊烷/C_(30)藿烷为0.43~0.82,C_(20)、C_(21)、C_(23)三环萜烷呈上升型分布。油砂无机地球化学研究发现,2期原油充注明显,形成了2期方解石胶结物,早期MnO和FeO含量在1%~1.5%之间,晚期大于1.5%。白垩纪前,风城组生源成熟油在充注过程中遭受降解,形成重质油-油砂;白垩纪至今,风城组生源高熟轻质油沿横断裂直接运移至超剥带,在断裂"纵横交叉"之处最富集。据此认为,研究区横断裂沿线是这类轻质原油勘探值得考虑的领域。超剥带的勘探可能不仅局限于传统认为的重质油-油砂,若存在有利的成藏条件,亦有可能形成轻质油气的聚集。 相似文献

Paleowaters in Silurian-Devonian carbonate aquifers: Geochemical evolution of groundwater in the Great Lakes region since the Late Pleistocene 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Changes in the climatic conditions during the Late Quaternary and Holocene greatly impacted the hydrology and geochemical evolution of groundwaters in the Great Lakes region. Increased hydraulic gradients from melting of kilometer-thick Pleistocene ice sheets reorganized regional-scale groundwater flow in Paleozoic aquifers in underlying intracratonic basins. Here, we present new elemental and isotopic analyses of 134 groundwaters from Silurian-Devonian carbonate and overlying glacial drift aquifers, along the margins of the Illinois and Michigan basins, to evaluate the paleohydrology, age distribution, and geochemical evolution of confined aquifer systems. This study significantly extends the spatial coverage of previously published groundwaters in carbonate and drift aquifers across the Midcontinent region, and extends into deeper portions of the Illinois and Michigan basins, focused on the freshwater-saline water mixing zones. In addition, the hydrogeochemical data from Silurian-Devonian aquifers were integrated with deeper basinal fluids, and brines in Upper Devonian black shales and underlying Cambrian-Ordovician aquifers to reveal a regionally extensive recharge system of Pleistocene-age waters in glaciated sedimentary basins. Elemental and isotope geochemistry of confined groundwaters in Silurian-Devonian carbonate and glacial drift aquifers show that they have been extensively altered by incongruent dissolution of carbonate minerals, dissolution of halite and anhydrite, cation exchange, microbial processes, and mixing with basinal brines. Carbon isotope values of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) range from −10 to −2‰, 87Sr/86Sr ratios range from 0.7080 to 0.7090, and δ34S-SO4 values range from +10 to 30‰. A few waters have elevated δ13CDIC values (>15‰) from microbial methanogenesis in adjacent organic-rich Upper Devonian shales. Radiocarbon ages and δ18O and δD values of confined groundwaters indicate they originated as subglacial recharge beneath the Laurentide Ice Sheet (14-50 ka BP, −15 to −13‰ δ18O). These paleowaters are isolated from shallow flow systems in overlying glacial drift aquifers by lake-bed clays and/or shales. The presence of isotopically depleted waters in Paleozoic aquifers at relatively shallow depths illustrates the importance of continental glaciation on regional-scale groundwater flow. Modern groundwater flow in the Great Lakes region is primarily restricted to shallow unconfined glacial drift aquifers. Recharge waters in Silurian-Devonian and unconfined drift aquifers have δ18O values within the range of Holocene precipitation: −11 to −8‰ and −7 to −4.5‰ for northern Michigan and northern Indiana/Ohio, respectively. Carbon and Sr isotope systematics indicate shallow groundwaters evolved through congruent dissolution of carbonate minerals under open and closed system conditions (δ13CDIC = −14.7 to−11.1‰ and 87Sr/86Sr = 0.7080-0.7103). The distinct elemental and isotope geochemistry of Pleistocene- versus Holocene-age waters further confirms that surficial flow systems are out of contact with the deeper basinal-scale flow systems. These results provide improved understanding of the effects of past climate change on groundwater flow and geochemical processes, which are important for determining the sustainability of present-day water resources and stability of saline fluids in sedimentary basins. 相似文献

Shark Bay is an 8000 sq. km shallow marine embayment on the western coast of Western Australia. The waters exhibit a well established salinity gradient from oceanic to hypersaline. The chemical assemblage of sediment hydrocarbons along the salinity gradient may be classified into two distinct chemogeographic types. Firstly, oceanic sediments contain n-alkanes and a suite of highly branched and branched/cyclic C25 alkenes. Hypersaline sediments are characterised by a high relative abundance of a C25H50 alkene together with an analogous C20H40 alkene and its parent C20H42 alkene (2,6,10-trimethyl-7-(3-methylbutyl)-dodecane). A pair of alkanes C21H42 and C22H44 increase in concentration and relative abundance with depth. The hydrocarbons of the hypersaline basins are found in only trace amounts in oceanic sediments. These chemical signals are overlain by further input indicative of the immediate biotic community. 相似文献

C26, C27, C28 and C29 sterols, including Δ5-, Δ22- and Δ5,22-sterols and both 5α- and 5β-stanols, have been identified in the contemporary lacustrine sediment of Rostherne mere (Cheshire, England). Amounts of total sterols decrease from ca. 400 ppm extracted sediment dry weight for the 0–7 cm sediment section to ca. 40 ppm for the corresponding 18–30 cm section. 5α-stanols are of far greater abundance than the 5α-stanol isomers. The carbon number distributions of unsaturated and saturated sterols and the increase in stanol: Δ5-sterol ratio with sediment depth provide indirect evidence for the operation of a sterol hydrogenation process. C29 sterols preponderate at lower sediment depths, suggesting a predominantly higher plant input, whereas C27 sterols are more abundant in the surface sediment. 相似文献

The compositions of sterol, alcohol and ketone fractions from an oxic intertidal surface sediment from Corner Inlet. Victoria, Australia, have been examined by capillary gas chromatographymass spectrometry and related to the lipids of diatoms cultured from the sediment and to lipids of the sea-grass Zostera muelleri. Of the more than thirty sterols in the sediment most appear to derive from diatoms, including the major sterol 24-methylcholesta-5.22E-dien-3β-ol. Small amounts of 24-ethylcholesterol probably derive from Zostera, with a minor diatom contribution. 5α-stanols, both fully saturated and with a side-chain double bond, represented ca. 14% of the total sterols: a significant proportion of these are probably derived from marine invertebrates. These organisms also contribute C26 sterols. most of the cholesterol and possibly small amounts of Δ-sterols. The data suggest that in situ biohydrogenation of stenols was not a major process in sterol transformation in the surface oxic sediment. Alcohols ranged from C12 to C30 and showed an unusual abundance of unsaturated components with Δ9-16:1 being the major constituent. The long-chain alcohols probably originate largely from Zostera but the shorter-chain. C12-C20. alcohols are at least partly derived from wax esters of unknown origin. Diatoms do not contribute significant amounts of alcohols. Ketones were not major constituents of the sediment and consisted mainly of 6.10.14-trimethylpentadecan-2-one and a series of n-alkan-2-ones ranging from C16 to C33. The latter showed a similar distribution to that of the n-alkanes but the correspondence was not sufficient to substantiate a product-precursor relationship. Very long-chain C3- C39 unsaturated methyl and ethyl ketones, which may originate from the marine unicellular alga Emiliania huxleyi. were present in low concentration. 相似文献

A new sediment profile imaging (SPI) instrument, CHEM-SPI, was developed for in situ two-dimensional measurements of biogeochemical solutes using fluorosensor foils in sediments and overlying waters. The CHEM-SPI system was used to simultaneously measure vertical sections of pH, O2, and pCO2 distributions in subtidal, surface deposits of Long Island Sound, NY. Images are readily obtained in 5?C15 min with inexpensive LED excitation and commercial grade digital cameras having typical pixel resolution of ~50?C100 ??m over areas >150 cm2 sediment. Seasonal examples of in situ deployments of the instrument revealed extensive horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of pH distributions. pH dynamics were associated with complex biogenic structures in the upper few centimeters of marine sediment and the pulsed input of organic matter during the spring bloom period. The pH beneath the sediment?Cwater interface was dramatically depressed by the bloom input of organic matter but macrofaunal activity otherwise dominated pH variations in the bioturbated zone. The CHEM-SPI system allows direct quantitative confirmation of biogeochemical patterns previously inferred qualitatively from color patterns in visible SPI images. The instrument is sufficiently adaptable in design to accommodate new optical sensor foils for other chemical variables. 相似文献

This paper presents new major and trace-element data and Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd isotopic compositions for representative suites of marine sediment samples from 14 drill sites outboard of the world’s major subduction zones. These suites and samples were chosen to represent the global range in lithology, Lu/Hf ratios, and sediment flux in subducting sediments worldwide. The data reported here represent the most comprehensive data set on subducting sediments and define the Hf-Nd isotopic variations that occur in oceanic sediments and constrain the processes that caused them.Using new marine sediment data presented here, in conjunction with published data, we derive a new Terrestrial Array given by the equation, εHf = 1.55 × εNd + 1.21. This array was calculated using >3400 present-day Hf and Nd isotope values. The steeper slope and smaller y-intercept of this array, compared to the original expression (εHf = 1.36 × εNd + 2.89; Vervoort et al., 1999) reflects the use of present day values and the unradiogenic Hf of old continental samples included in the array.In order to examine the Hf-Nd isotopic variations in marine sediments, we have classified our samples into 5 groups based on lithology and major and trace-element geochemical compositions: turbidites, terrigenous clays, and volcaniclastic, hydrothermal and hydrogenetic sediments. Compositions along the Terrestrial Array are largely controlled by terrigenous material derived from the continents and delivered to the ocean basins via turbidites, volcaniclastic sediments, and volcanic inputs from magmatic arcs. Compositions below the Terrestrial Array derive from unradiogenic Hf in zircon-rich turbidites. The anomalous compositions above the Terrestrial Array largely reflect the decoupled behavior of Hf and Nd during continental weathering and delivery to the ocean. Both terrigenous and hydrogenetic clays possess anomalously radiogenic Hf, reflecting terrestrial sedimentary and weathering processes on the one hand and marine inheritance on the other. This probably occurs during complementary processes involving preferential retention of unradiogenic Hf on the continents in the form of zircon and release of radiogenic Hf from the breakdown of easily weathered, high Lu-Hf phases such as apatite. 相似文献

Detrital modes of recent deep-sea sands and their relation to tectonic setting: a first approximation 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
Complete petrographic analyses of modern deep-sea sands are surprisingly rare, but are needed if problems such as the influence of tectonics on petrology, or changes in petrology due to diagenesis, are to be understood in ancient sandstones. This paper is a first attempt, using data from our own study of 80 sands plus data from the literature, to establish a baseline for modern deep-sea sands with which ancient sandstones can be compared. We assigned sands to five plate-tectonic categories, each of which has a distinct average petrologic composition: (1) basins associated with trailing-edge continental margins, Q62F26L12; (2) with leading-edge continental margins, either subduction, Q16F53L31, or (3) strike-slip, Q34F39L27; (4) back-arc basins, Q20F29L51; (5) fore-arc basins, Q8F17L75. The amount and type of lithic fragments and the type of feldspar are particularly important discriminators, the amount of quartz less so. Trailing-edge and fore-arc basins have quite distinctive compositions, but back-arc basins and basins near the two types of leading-edge margins show some overlap, and thus may be hard to differentiate in ancient sandstones. 相似文献

Two piston cores, one located far from the continents (The North Pacific Ocean: ES core), and another located comparatively closer to the continents (The Bering Sea: BOW-8a core) were investigated to reconstruct environmental changes on source land areas. The results show significant contribution of terrestrial organic matter to sediments in both cores. The δ13C values of n-C27, n-C29, and n-C31 alkanes in sediments from the North Pacific ES core show significant glacial to interglacial variation whereas those from the Bering Sea core do not. Variations of δ13C values of land plant n-alkanes are related to the environmental or vegetational changes in the source land areas. Environmental changes, especially, aridity, rainfall, and pCO2 during glacial/interglacial transitional periods can affect vegetation, and therefore C3 / C4 plant ratios, resulting in δ13C changes in the preserved land plant biomarkers. Maximum values of δ13C as well as maximum average chain length values of long chain n-alkanes in the ES core occur mostly at the interglacial to glacial transition zones reflecting a time lag related to incorporation of living organic matter into soil and transportation into ocean basins via wind and/or ability of C4 plants to adapt for a longer period before being replaced by C3 plants when subjected to gradual climatic changes. Irregular variations with no clear glacial to interglacial trends in the BOW-8a core may result from complex mixture of aerosols from westerly winds and riverine organic matter from the Bering Sea catchments. In addition, terrestrial organic matter entering the Bering Sea could originate from multiple pathways including eolian, riverine, and ice rafted debris, and possibly be disturbed by turbidity and other local currents which can induce re-suspension and re-sedimentation causing an obliterated time relation in the Bering Sea biomarker records. 相似文献

The removal of Be-7 from lake surface waters (Lake Lugano, Switzerland/Italy) was studied from September 1995 to May 1996. During this period the atmospheric input and sedimentary flux of Be-7, as well as concentrations of dissolved (<10 kD), colloidal (10 kD–1 μm), and particulate (>1 μm) Be-7 in the epilimnion were measured. The separation of dissolved, colloidal, and particulate fractions of Be-7 was carried out using continuous flow centrifugation (CFC) and tangential flow filtration (TFF) techniques. Lacustrine colloids (log Kc ≈ 6) were shown to be much more efficient sorbents for Be-7 than the suspended particles (log Kp 4–5). Particle concentrations Cp ranged from 0.5 to 2 mg/L. The ratio of colloid (>10 kD) to particle concentration Cc/Cp was close to 0.09 during winter months when detrital inputs are dominant, but was higher (0.16) in summer and in spring after an algal bloom. The Be-7 data were used to estimate coagulation rates of colloids. The highest coagulation rates (λcoag ≈ 0.4 d−1) along with the lowest Kc (log Kc ≈ 5.2) were found after an algal bloom in spring. 相似文献

Statistical analysis of landslides caused by the Mw 6.9 Yushu,China, earthquake of April 14, 2010 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
The April 14, 2010 Yushu, China, earthquake (Mw 6.9) triggered a great number of landslides. At least 2,036 co-seismic landslides, with a total coverage area of 1.194 km2, were delineated by visual interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite images taken following the earthquake, and verified by field inspection. Based on the mapping results, a statistical analysis of the spatial distribution of these landslides is performed using the landslide area percentage (LAP), defined as the percentage of the area affected by the landslides, and landslide number density (LND), defined as the number of landslides per square kilometer. The purpose is to clarify how the landslides correlate the control factors, which are the elevation, slope angle, slope aspect, slope position, distance from drainages, lithology, distance from the surface rupture, and peak ground acceleration (PGA). The results show that both LAP and LND have strongly positive correlations with slope angle and negative correlations with distance from the surface rupture and distance from drainages. The highest LAP and LPD values are in places of elevations from 3,800 to 4,000 m. The slopes producing landslides are mostly facing toward NE, E, and SE. The geological units of Q4 al-pl, N, and T3 kn 1 have the highest concentrations of co-seismic landslides. No apparent correlations are present between LAP and LND values and PGA. On both sides of the surface rupture, the landslide distributions are almost similar except a few exceptions, likely associated with the nature of the strike-slip seismogenic fault for this event. The bivariate statistical analysis shows that, in descending order, the earthquake-triggered landslide impact factors are distance from surface rupture > slope angle > distance from drainages > lithology > PGA. Besides, as the detailed co-seismic landslides inventories related to strike-slip earthquakes are still few compared with that of thrusting-fault earthquakes, this case study would shed new light on the subject. For instance, the landslide spatial distribution on both sides of the strike-slip seismogenic fault is rather different from that of thrusting-fault earthquakes. It reminds us to take different strategies of measures for prevention and mitigation of landslides induced by earthquakes with different mechanisms. 相似文献

This paper investigates, using the random field theory and Monte Carlo simulation, the effects of random field discretization on failure probability, p f, and failure mechanism of cohesive soil slope stability. The spatial sizes of the discretized elements in random field Δx, Δy in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, are assigned a series of combinational values in order to model the discretization accuracy. The p f of deterministic critical slip surface (DCSS) and that of the slope system both are analyzed. The numerical simulation results have demonstrated that both the ratios of Δy/λ y (λ y = scale of fluctuation in vertical direction) and Δx/λ x (λ x = scale of fluctuation in horizontal direction) contribute in a similar manner to the accuracy of p f of DCSS. The effect of random field discretization on the p f can be negligible if both the ratios of Δx/λ x and Δy/λ y are no greater than 0.1. The normalized discrepancy tends to increase at a linear rate with Δy/λ y when Δx/λ x is larger than 0.1, and vice versa for p f of DCSS. The random field discretization tends to have more considerable influence on the p f of DCSS than on that of the slope system. The variation of p f versus λ x and λ y may exhibit opposite trends for the cases where the limit state functions of slope failure are defined on DCSS and on the slope system as well. Finally, the p f of slope system converges in a more rapid manner to that of DCSS than the failure mechanism does to DCSS as the spatial variability of soil property grows from significant to negligible. 相似文献

Hydrocarbon results from gas chromatography of 60 recent sediment and 10 benthic algae samples delineate two distinct shelf environments in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.Sediments off Florida (shell hashes and sands) have moderate amounts of lipids/total sediment (average 113ppm ± 80%) but low hydrocarbon levels (average 3.06 ppm ± 41%). Aliphatic hydrocarbons are dominated by a series of branched or cyclic, unsaturated C25 isomers. The major n-alkane is n-C17. The n-alkane and isoprenoid patterns are consistent with a marine hydrocarbon source.Sediments closer to the Mississippi River (silts and clays) contain large amounts of lipids (average 232 ppm ± 53%) and hydrocarbons (average 11.7 ppm ± 55%) to total sediment. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are mainly odd carbon number high molecular weight n-alkanes, indicating a terrigenous hydrocarbon source. Isoprenoids are present in greater abundance than in sediments off Florida (n-C17/ pristane and n-C18/phytane ratios ~2to 3). Relatively large amounts of n-C16, together with an even distribution of n-alkanes in the range C14–C20 and a substantial unresolved envelope all point to a fossil fuel input to the Mississippi samples.Samples off the Alabama coast show intermediate characteristics. 相似文献

The evolution of unidirectional nonlinear sea surface waves is calculated numerically by means of solution of the Euler equations. The wave dynamics corresponds to quasi-equilibrium states characterized by JONSWAP spectra. The spatiotemporal data are collected and processed providing information about the wave height probability and typical appearance of abnormally high waves (rogue waves). The waves are considered at different water depths ranging from deep to relatively shallow cases (k p h > 0.8, where k p is the peak wavenumber, and h is the local depth). The asymmetry between front and rear rogue wave slopes is identified; it becomes apparent for sufficiently high waves in rough sea states at all considered depths k p h ≥ 1.2. The lifetimes of rogue events may reach up to 30–60 wave periods depending on the water depth. The maximum observed wave has a height of about three significant wave heights. A few randomly chosen in situ time series from the Baltic Sea are in agreement with the general picture of the numerical simulations. 相似文献
