Methyl halide production and loss rates in sea water from field incubation experiments     

Robert M. Moore   《Marine Chemistry》2006,101(3-4):213-219

Experiments were conducted in the field to determine the non-chemical loss rate of methyl iodide in seawater and to examine production rates of methyl halides. The loss rate of added C13 labelled methyl iodide, present at concentrations similar to those found in seawater, corrected for chemical loss due to reaction with Cl⁻ varied from < 1 to 18% day^− 1, with a mean value of 7%. This rate of loss is much lower than that which was proposed by Bell et al. [Bell, N., Hsu, L., Jacob, D. J., Schultz, M. G., Blake, D. R., Butler, J. H., King, D. B., Lobert, J. M., Maier-Reimer, E., 2002. Methyl iodide: Atmospheric budget and use as a tracer of marine convection in global models, Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres 107(D17), 4340-4351.] to account for the large discrepancies between observed and predicted mid-latitude concentrations of CH₃I based on their global photochemical source model. The suitability of several types of container for seawater incubations was studied and only quartz tubes appeared to be free of experimental artifact. Collapsible polyvinyl fluoride containers showed major production of methyl halides on irradiation with simulated sunlight. Polyethylene containers caused spurious production of methyl iodide at lower rates.  相似文献   

Feature modeling approach to simulating Loop Current Frontal Eddies     

Sergei A. Frolov  Lewis M. Rothstein 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2006,70(4):533

Loop Current Frontal Eddies (LCFE) in the Gulf of Mexico are simulated with a regional configuration of the Princeton Ocean Model using a feature-oriented initialization technique. The initialization procedure is based on a prior investigation of stability characteristics of the Loop Current (LC). Zonal channel experiments conducted with a multi-layer intermediate equations model allowed to identify conditions necessary for formation and growth of frontal eddies. The simulations were able to reproduce key features of LCFE-topography interaction in the DeSoto Canyon region observed during the “Eddy Intrusion” study.  相似文献   

Mussels document loss of bioavailable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the return to baseline conditions for oiled shorelines in Prince William Sound, Alaska     

Page DS  Boehm PD  Brown JS  Neff JM  Burns WA  Bence AE 《Marine environmental research》2005,60(4):422-436

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were measured in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) collected between 1990 and 2002 from 11 sites on the shores of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, that were heavily oiled by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS). This study, utilizing the methods of the NOAA Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program, found that concentrations of PAH released from spill remnants have decreased dramatically with time and by 2002 were at or near the range of total PAH (TPAH) of 3-355 ng/g dry weight obtained for mussels from unoiled reference sites in PWS. Time-series TPAH data indicate a mean TPAH half-life in mussel tissues of 2.4 years with a range from 1.4 to 5.3, yielding an annual mean loss of bioaccumulated TPAH of 25%. The petroleum-derived TPAH fraction in mussel tissues has decreased with time, reflecting the decreasing release of EVOS residues in shoreline sediments. These results show that PAH from EVOS residues that remain buried in shoreline sediments after the early 1990s are in a form and at locations that have a low accessibility to mussels living in the intertidal zone.  相似文献   

地形坡度对斜压大气扰动的影响     

王启  于磊 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》1995,(1)

本文推导出σ坐标系斜压大气的准地转位涡方程，该方程形式与Ｐ坐标系的准地转位涡方程非常相似，但本质不同，本文还用ＷＫＢ方法讨论了大地形坡度对斜压大气扰动发展的影响。指出：东西走向山脉的南坡有利于低层大气槽线呈西北－东南向的扰动发展，也有利于高层大气槽线呈东北－西南向的扰动发展  相似文献   

A numerical experiment on the calculation of the tropical Atlantic circulation in 1982–1983, with the real wind considered     

A. I. Androsovich  E. N. Mikhailova  I. M. Semenyuk 《Physical Oceanography》1995,6(1):61-72

This paper discusses the results obtained through numerical modelling of the annual course of circulation and thermohaline field evolution in the tropical Atlantic under the impact of real wind forcing (from March 1982 to March 1983) and compares them with the calculation of seasonal variability induced by the climatic wind. Changes in the pattern of the equatorial currents and related temperature fields induced by the specific peculiarities in the wind field are analysed.Translated by Vladimir A. Puchkin.  相似文献   

珠江口伶仃洋水域溶解氧特征     

丘耀文  王肇鼎 《热带海洋学报》1994,(2)

根据１９８７年６，８，１１月和１９８８年２月４个航次珠江口伶汀洋的调查资料，分析了溶解氧的特征。结果表明：溶解氧含量表层均高于底层，周年变化呈现从夏季到冬季逐渐上升，且明显受珠江径流的影响，溶解氧（基本上是不饱和状态）与盐度成负相关。有机物和营养盐均影响溶解氧，但水温仍为溶解氧主要影响因素。  相似文献

Accommodating ecotourism in multiple use planning of coastal and marine protected areas     

M. Tundi Agardy 《Ocean & Coastal Management》1993,20(3)

Coastal and marine areas the world over provide food, transportation, recreation, and energy resources to increasing numbers of people each year. As demands for these resources rise, the potential for user conflicts is radically heightened. This situation can be avoided or counteracted by instigating proactive multiple use planning. Multiple use zoning plans can only exist in a concrete management framework: marine and coastal protected areas provide just such a foundation. Nature-based or ecotourism can be encouraged in coastal protected areas aimed at achieving sustainability. Well-planned tourism provides economic and political incentives for management and for conservation, and may bring additional benefits to local communities and regional economies. Examples where nature-based tourism has been or is becoming successfully integrated into multiple use planning can be found in Quintana Roo, Mexico; the Lesser Antilles; and Australia, among other areas.  相似文献   

On the origin of glauconitic and chamositic granules     

F. B. Van Houten  M. E. Purucker 《Geo-Marine Letters》1985,5(1):47-49

Glauconitic minerals range from green smectite to 10Å glauconite, occur mainly in peloids (most of which were fecal pellets), and apparently were produced largely by neoformation replacing several kinds of substrate. Chamositic minerals, berthierine and chamosite, occur in Recent and ancient peloids, but mostly in ancient ooids, and they developed by alteration of a precursor Al-rich clay mineral. Ooid sheaths were built by rolling of cores on ue sea floor. Glauconitic greensands and chamositic oolitic ironstones are condensed sequences deposited as sandwaves during long periods of reduced influx of sediment. Some are associated with hardgrounds.  相似文献
