Observations on the association between mercury and organic matter dissolved in natural waters     

Anders W. Andren  Robert C. Harriss 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1975,39(9):1253-1258

Dissolved mercury in estuarine waters from the Mississippi Delta and Florida Everglades is associated with dissolved organic matter which has the properties of fulvic matter found in soils. Ultrafiltration of water samples demonstrated that mercury and dissolved organic carbon are selectively enriched in the < 500 molecular size cut-off fraction. A decrease in high molecular weight dissolved organic matter with increasing salinity in the Everglades exerts a partial control on the mercury content of these estuarine waters.  相似文献   

Pine forest microclimate simulation using different diffusivities     

Sven Halldin  Anders Lindroth 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1986,35(1-2):103-123

Proper understanding of, e.g., evaporation from a forest requires an understanding of its microclimate. A well established, steady-state model was used to simulate microclimate and evaporation of a sparse pine forest in central Sweden. Model input included profiles of turbulent diffusivity, boundary-layer resistance, stomatal resistance, wind speed, net and global radiation and needle area density. Momentum balance, energy balance and exponentially decreasing diffusivities were used to study the sensitivity of the evaporation rates and of the temperature and humidity profiles. Model output proved to be unreliable when measured temperature and humidity at the bottom of the stand were used instead of a measured ground heat flux as the lower boundary condition. Energy balance diffusivity was usually larger than momentum balance diffusivity at the canopy top but decreased rapidly to a minimum at approximately the height where the momentum balance diffusivity had its maximum. Energy balance diffusivity commonly showed a secondary maximum below the height of the maximum needle area density. Profiles of Richardson number showed that thermal effects became important just below the canopy top. Bluff-body effects distinguished the energy balance from the momentum balance diffusivity and both were subject to shelter effects. Total evaporation was not very sensitive to the choice of diffusivity when soil heat flux was given as the lower boundary condition.  相似文献   

Meteoritic and non-meteoritic trace elements in Luna 16 samples     

J.C. Laul  R. GanapathyJohn W. Morgan  Edward Anders 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1972

Two Luna 16 soils have been analyzed for Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, Ge, In, Ur, Ni, Rb, Re, Sb, Se, Te, Tl, and Zn. A meteoritic component similar to that in Apollo 11 and 12 soils seems to be present, corresponding to ∼1.5 to 2% Cl chondrites or equivalent. It probably consists largely of micrometeorites. Three elements show strong enrichments compared to Apollo 11 and 12 soils: Cd (5× to 200×), Ag (5× to 10×), and Bi (3×). Presumably these elements were brought in by Cd-Ag-Bi rich material, similar to that in Unit VI of Apollo core 12028.  相似文献   

Reproductive conditions of the Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) in the Hudson River     

J. P. Van Eenennaam  S. I. Doroshov  G. P. Moberg  J. G. Watson  D. S. Moore  J. Linares 《Estuaries and Coasts》1996,19(4):769-777

Ninety-four prespawning adult Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) were sampled in the Hudson River for age, sex, body size, gonad weight, fecundity, mature oocyte size, and plasma concentrations of gonadotropins, sex steroids, and vitellogenin during the spring spawning migrations in 1992 and 1993. In males, the age and total length ranged from 12 yr to 19 yr and from 133 cm to 204 cm and in females from 14 yr to 36 yr and from 197 cm to 254 cm. The majority of males were 13–16 yr old, and females were 16–20 yr old. Some females had residual atretic ovarian bodies, presumably remaining from a previous spawning and indicating iteroparity. Pre-ovulatory condition was recognized by migration of the germinal vesicle or by germinal vesicle breakdown and by significantly elevated plasma gonadotropins, progesterone, and vitellogenin. All pre-ovulatory females were captured upriver from Hudson River kilometer 136. Individual fecundity ranged from 0.4 million to 2.0 million eggs and oocyte diameter from 2.4 mm to 2.9 mm, and both characters exhibited a significant (p<0.05) positive relationship with female body size. Iteroparous females, tentatively identified by the presence of atretic bodies remaining in the ovary from a previous spawning, had significantly (p<0.05) higher fecundity and produced larger eggs, compared with females spawning presumably for the first time.  相似文献   

An evaluation of neutral and convective planetary boundary-layer parameterizations relative to large eddy simulations   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2

This paper compares a number of one-dimensional closure models for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) that are currently in use in large-scale atmospheric models. Using the results of a large-eddy simulation (LES) model as the standard of comparison, the PBL models are evaluated over a range of stratifications from free convective to neutral and a range of surface shear stresses. Capping inversion strengths for the convective cases range from weakly to strongly capped. Six prototypical PBL models are evaluated in this study, which focuses on the accuracy of the boundary-layer fluxes of momentum, heat, and two passive scalars. One scalar mimics humidity and the other is a top-down scalar entrained into the boundary layer from above. A set of measures based on the layer-averaged differences of these fluxes from the LES solutions is developed. In addition to the methodological framework and suite of LES solutions, the main result of the evaluation is the recognition that all of the examined PBL parameterizations have difficulty reproducing the entrainment at the top of the PBL, as given by the LES, in most parameter regimes. Some of the PBL models are relatively accurate in their entrainment flux in a subset of parameter regimes. The sensitivity of the PBL models to vertical resolution is explored, and substantive differences are observed in the performance of the PBL models, relative to LES, at low resolution typical of large scale atmospheric models.  相似文献   

Verification of a One-Dimensional Model of $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ Atmospheric Transport Inside and Above a Forest Canopy Using Observations at the Norunda Research Station     

Ivan Kovalets  Rodolfo Avila  Meelis Mölder  Sophia Kovalets  Anders Lindroth 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2018,168(1):103-126

A model of \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) atmospheric transport in vegetated canopies is tested against measurements of the flow, as well as \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) concentrations at the Norunda research station located inside a mixed pine–spruce forest. We present the results of simulations of wind-speed profiles and \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) concentrations inside and above the forest canopy with a one-dimensional model of profiles of the turbulent diffusion coefficient above the canopy accounting for the influence of the roughness sub-layer on turbulent mixing according to Harman and Finnigan (Boundary-Layer Meteorol 129:323–351, 2008; hereafter HF08). Different modelling approaches are used to define the turbulent exchange coefficients for momentum and concentration inside the canopy: (1) the modified HF08 theory—numerical solution of the momentum and concentration equations with a non-constant distribution of leaf area per unit volume; (2) empirical parametrization of the turbulent diffusion coefficient using empirical data concerning the vertical profiles of the Lagrangian time scale and root-mean-square deviation of the vertical velocity component. For neutral, daytime conditions, the second-order turbulence model is also used. The flexibility of the empirical model enables the best fit of the simulated \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) concentrations inside the canopy to the observations, with the results of simulations for daytime conditions inside the canopy layer only successful provided the respiration fluxes are properly considered. The application of the developed model for radiocarbon atmospheric transport released in the form of \(^{14}\hbox {CO}_{2}\) is presented and discussed.  相似文献   

A 10-Year Set of Ca II K-Line Filtergrams     

Anders Johannesson  William H. Marquette  Harold Zirin 《Solar physics》1998,177(1-2):265-278

We have processed a 10-year set of BBSO Caii K-line filtergrams covering most of solar cycle 22. The excess K-line emission is integrated to form linear and square-root activity indices that are fitted to UV data from UARS and SME. Good fits are found both for the Mgii core–wing ratio (linear) and total L irradiance (square root) and the indices are thus good proxies for UV data. The SME L irradiance is systematically lower by 20% than predicted from our corresponding K-line indices. The 10.7 cm radio data confirms that SME underestimated the flux. The network is partly responsible for the solar cycle variation of the indices and is relatively more important in L than in Mgii and Caii K. This is due to the saturation of L equivalent width. We also report on substantial improvements to the equipment and reduction software. The system is now based on a digital CCD camera which promises more accurate measurements in the upcoming solar cycle 23.  相似文献   

Study of Hα Jets on the Quiet Sun     

Haimin Wang  Anders Johannesson  Mike Stage  Chikyin Lee  Harold Zirin 《Solar physics》1998,178(1):55-69

High-speed jets of solar quiet regions have been observed at Big Bear Solar Observatory in H–1.0 Ú, and compared with high-resolution magnetograms. Over the whole Sun, the birthrate of the H–1.0 Ú jets is about 19±3 events s^–1, which is much lower than the birthrate of spicules. The average lifetime of these jets is 2±1 min. H–1.0 Ú jets are very different from spicules, in the sense of birthrate, lifetime, and shape. Jets tend to recur in the same sites, always located in boundaries of supergranules. Under the best observing conditions, we found that 80% of the major jet sites are associated with converging magnetic dipoles – mainly the sites where intranetwork elements are canceling with opposite polarity network elements. In order to establish a possible relationship between the disk H jets and limb macrospicules, we have also obtained time sequences of H center-line images at the limb. These images are enhanced by median filtering so that jet structures over the limb are easily studied. We found that these limb H jets (above the spicule forest) repeatedly occur in the same sites, which is the property shared by the disk H–1.0 Ú jets. However, their mean lifetime is 10 min, substantially longer than that of disk jets. Comparison with simultaneous SOHO/EIT Heii 304 Ú images shows that every Heii 304 Ú jet over the limb coincides with an H jet, although Heii 304 Ú jets extend much farther out. Some H jets do not have associated He jets, probably due to the difference in image resolutions. H spectra of selected jets are analyzed, and we found that jets are not simply blue-shifted; instead, the line profiles are broadened with significantly larger broadening on the blue side. Two-component fitting finds that the velocity of the blue-shifted component (an optically-thin component) is around 20 to 40 km s^–1.  相似文献
