ABSTRACT

For dynamically consistent, high-resolution, yet cost-effective regional oceanic downscaling modelling, an empirical three-dimensional (3D) density estimate based on publicly available datasets is utilized for the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) with simple data assimilation (i.e., TS nudging, where TS stands for temperature and salinity). We rely on a method built upon the two-layer model to reconstruct a mesoscale 3D temperature and salinity field, referred to as Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (TUMSAT)-TS, using near real-time altimeter-derived dynamic height along with Argo float profiling data. The TUMSAT-TS is first validated using in situ hydrographic data, then is implemented in the Japan Coastal Ocean Predictability Experiment (JCOPE2)-ROMS downscaling system for the Kuroshio region off Japan. We explore the usability of TUMSAT-TS by carrying out three comparative simulations with temperature and salinity nudging towards the (i) TUMSAT-TS and (ii) JCOPE2-TS fields, and (iii) without the nudging. Whereas the unassimilated case fails to properly account for the Kuroshio, both datasets individually are found to help reproduce the mesoscale variability of the Kuroshio, as well as its transient paths, volume transport, associated kinetic energy (KE) and eddy KE, and seasonally varying stratification.  相似文献   

The Colour–Magnitude Relation of Early-Type Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North     

T. Kodama  R.G. Bower  E.F. Bell 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2001,276(2-4):979-981

We present the rest-frame colour–magnitude diagram for 35 early-type galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field with median redshift 0.9.Although with considerable scatter, a red sequence well described by the passive evolution of an intrinsically old stellar population is observed. Comparison with the passively evolved colour–magnitude relation of the rich Coma Cluster (z = 0.023) indicates that at least ∼1/2 of the early-type galaxies in the field at this redshift are as old as those in rich clusters. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Evaluation of the JNLT site

Two steps have been taken to decide at what place and altitude to set up the JNLT on Mauna Kea. First, the wind tunnel experiment has been made in collaboration with the Institute of Meteorology using the two models of summit area with the reduced scales of 1/1000 and 1/5000. This study tells us that the north-west cone is suitable for JNLT. Secondly, we have done the measurement of the microthermal activities in this area with a 30 m tower, which was continued for about 4 months in collaboration with the University of Hawaii. This experiment has given the mean vertical profile ofC _T ² over 4 months and its scale height in the boundayr layer on our site. By use of these measurements, the contribution of the boundary layer to seeing is estimated. The behaviour ofC _T ² under strong winds can be explained very well by topographic effects, which is in fairly good agreement with the results of our wind tunnel experiment.Paper presented at the Symposium on the JNLT and Related Engineering Developments, Tokyo, November 29–December 2, 1988.  相似文献   

Chemical modification of sea water by submarine volcanism at Nishinoshima-Shintô Island     

Yoshimasa Toyota  Satoru Kanamori  Michihiko Kodama  Masahiro Furukawa  Shiro Okabe 《Journal of Oceanography》1982,38(5):307-312

Sea water samples, still hot from volcanic emanations were taken in a bay of Nishinoshima-Shintô Island just after volcanic activity had ceased and were analysed for borate-B, fluoride-F and bromide-Br. The hot water is considered to be formed by the conservative mixing of volcanic emanations with sea water, and the emanations containedCl, B, F andBr in the ratio of 1∶1.84×10^?3∶0.474×10^?3∶6.47×10^?3 by weight. RatiosB/Cl andF/Cl can be used as effective measures of the contribution of volcanic emanations to sea water.  相似文献   

Mechanisms for anhydrite and gypsum formation in the Kuroko massive sulfide–sulfate deposits,north Japan     

Yasumasa Ogawa  Naotatsu Shikazono  Daizo Ishiyama  Hinako Sato  Toshio Mizuta  Takanori Nakano 《Mineralium Deposita》2007,42(3):219-233

The Sr, Ba, and rare earth elements (REEs) concentrations and Sr isotopic composition of anhydrite and gypsum have been determined for samples from the Matsumine, Shakanai, and Hanaoka Kuroko-type massive sulfide–sulfate deposits of northern Japan to evaluate the mechanisms of sekko (anhydrite and gypsum) ore formation. The Sr isotopic compositions of the samples fall in the range of 0.7077–0.7087, intermediate between that for middle Miocene (13–15 Ma) seawater (0.7088) (Peterman et al., Geochim Cosmochim Acta, 34:105–120, 1970) and that for country rocks (e.g., 0.7030–0.7050) (Shuto, Assn Geol Collab Japan Monograph 18:91–105, 1974). The Kuroko anhydrite samples exhibit two types of chondrite-normalized REE patterns: one with a decrease from light REEs (LREEs) to heavy REEs (HREEs) (type I), and another with a LREE-depleted pattern (type II). Based on the Sr content and isotopic ratio (assuming an Sr/Ca (mM/M) of 8.7 for seawater), anhydrite is considered to have formed by mixing of preheated seawater with a hydrothermal solution of Sr/Ca (mM/M) = ca. 0.59–1.36 under the condition in which the partition coefficient (Kd) ranges between ca. 0.5 and 0.7. This results in the formation of anhydrite with higher Sr content with an Sr isotopic value close to that of seawater under seawater-dominant conditions. Larger crystals of type II anhydrite are partly replaced by smaller ones, indicating that anhydrite dissolution and recrystallization occurred after or during the formation of sekko ore. Gypsum, which partially replaces anhydrite in the Kuroko deposits, also exhibits two distinct chondrite-normalized REE patterns. Because LREEs are likely to be more readily mobilized during dissolution and recrystallization, it is hypothesized that LREEs are leached from type I anhydrite, resulting in the formation of type II anhydrite with LREE-depleted profiles.  相似文献

The effects of a constant volume deformation on the magnetization of an artificial sediment     

Kenneth P. Kodama  Allen Cox 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1978,38(2):436-442

Anhysteretic remanent magnetization (DC field = 1 Oe, peak AC field = 1000 Oe) was given to an artificial sediment consisting of a kaolinite matrix and a 0.03% magnetic fraction of needle-shaped magnetite grains. The mean grain size of the clay flakes and the magnetite needles was approximately 0.5 μm. This sediment was subjected to plane strain while maintaining constant volume. The axis of maximum compression was shortened by as much as 331/3%, which produced no significant change in the direction of magnetization with a decrease in intensity of 28%. A continuous deformation model, in which the magnetite needles are embedded in a plastically deforming linearly homogeneous medium, failed to explain these results. A discontinuous deformation model was more successful. In this model, deformation occurs mainly in shear zones bounding blocks which translate along the shears. Only those magnetite grains in the shear zones rotate, and from symmetry considerations no net change in the direction of magnetization is predicted. Because magnetite grains rotate in opposite directions in complementary sets of shears, the model predicts a decrease in intensity comparable to that which was observed.  相似文献
