Seasonal and spatial variations in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a eutrophic brackish lake,Lake Hamana,Japan     

Kubo  Atsushi  Yoshida  Keisuke  Suzuki  Kei 《Journal of Oceanography》2022,78(1):15-23

The dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity in the surface brackish waters of Lake Hamana were investigated monthly from October 2017 to September 2019 at 14 stations. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂) in the surface water ranged from 29 to 1476 μatm and was undersaturated for atmospheric CO₂ during the observation periods, although most coastal waters were net source areas because of the large amount of terrestrial organic and inorganic carbon input. Since there was a strong negative correlation between pCO₂ and the dissolved oxygen, seasonal and temporal variations in pCO₂ were mainly derived from phytoplankton activity. The high phytoplankton activity induced by the effluents from sewage treatment plants, which was low in carbon and high in nitrogen. Therefore, in urbanized coastal waters with sewage treatment plants, such as the coastal waters of Japan, there is a possibility of shifting from weaker carbon dioxide source areas to sink areas. However, pCO₂ was oversaturated at the polluted river mouth, especially after high precipitation events due to the large carbon supply.

Better cars or older cars?: Assessing CO2 emission reduction potential of passenger vehicle replacement programs     

Shigemi Kagawa  Klaus Hubacek  Keisuke Nansai  Minori Kataoka  Shunsuke Managi  Sangwon Suh  Yuki Kudoh 《Global Environmental Change》2013,23(6):1807-1818

The primary motivation for the vehicle replacement schemes that were implemented in many countries was to encourage the purchase of new cars. The basic assumption of these schemes was that these acquisitions would benefit both the economy and the environment as older and less fuel-efficient cars were scrapped and replaced with more fuel-efficient models. In this article, we present a new environmental impact assessment method for assessing the effectiveness of scrappage schemes for reducing CO₂ emissions taking into account the rebound effect, driving behavior for older versus new cars and entire lifecycle emissions for during the manufacturing processes of new cars. The assessment of the Japanese scrappage scheme shows that CO₂ emissions would only decrease if users of the scheme retained their new gasoline passenger vehicles for at least 4.7 years. When vehicle replacements were restricted to hybrid cars, the reduction in CO₂ achieved by the scheme would be 6–8.5 times higher than the emissions resulting from a scheme involving standard, gasoline passenger vehicles. Cost–benefit analysis, based on the emission reduction potential, showed that the scheme was very costly. Sensitivity analysis showed that the Japanese government failed to determine the optimum, or target, car age for scrapping old cars in the scheme. Specifically, scrapping cars aged 13 years and over did not maximize the environmental benefits of the scheme. Consequently, modifying this policy to include a reduction in new car subsidies, focused funding for fuel-efficient cars, and modifying the target car age, would increase environmental benefits.  相似文献   

西南日本秋吉带石炭系高山(Ko-yama)灰岩群的褶皱构造     

Noriyuki INADA  Shigeyuki SUZUKI  Keisuke ISHIDA  Shinji YAMASHITA 《地球学报》2012,33(S1):24-24

The study area is located in Kawakami-cho, Okayama Prefecture, which is occupied by Lower Carboniferous to Middle Permian Ko-yama Limestone Group (Yokoyama et al., 1979), Permian Yoshii Group (Sano et al., 1987) and Triassic Nariwa Group (Tera-oka, 1959). The Nariwa Group unconformably covers the Paleozoic successions (Otoh, 1985). These succes-sions belong to the Akiyoshi Belt. The Ko-yama Limestone Group is composed mainly of massive limestone, with basic volcanic rocks, acidic tuff and chert. The group was dated by foraminifer and fusu-linid as Lower Carboniferous to Middle Permian (Yo-koyama et al., 1979).  相似文献   

西南日本秋吉带石炭系高山(Ko-yama)灰岩群的石炭纪(Visean – Moscovian)牙形石序列     

Keisuke ISHIDA  Sigeyuki SUZUKI  Noriyuki INADA  Shinji YAMASHITA 《地球学报》2012,33(S1):25-28

The Carboniferous conodont faunal succession of the lower part of Ko-yama Limestone Group was studied. The confirmed upper Visean–lower Moscovian lithostratigraphy of the group is characterized by the clastic carbonates with common association of the basaltic pyroclastics and some intercalation of spicular chert beds. The faunal succession of Gnathodus semiglaber (upper Visean), Gnathodus praebilineatus – Lochriea multinodosa (upper Visean), Lochriea ziegleri – Gnathodus girtyi girtyi s.l. (lower Serpukhovian), Neoganthodus symmetricus – Idiognathodus primulus (middle – upper Bashkirian), and Idiognathoides convexus – Gondolella clarki (lower Moscovian) faunas, appears in concordance with the lithostratigraphic order. The faunas are correlative with those from the conodont zones of the Hina, Atetsu, Akiyoshi and Omi limestone groups in the Akiyoshi Belt. The Visean/Serpukhovian boundary of the section was recognized by the FAD of Lochriea ziegleri.  相似文献   

Chemical overprinting of magmatism by weathering: A practical method for evaluating the degree of chemical weathering of granitoids     

Atsushi Kamei  Keisuke Fukushi  Tetsuichi Takagi  Hitoshi Tsukamoto 《Applied Geochemistry》2012

Quantitative determination of the degree of chemical weathering of rocks is a fundamental task in environmental and engineering geology, and many weathering indices based on whole-rock chemistry have been proposed. However, most classical indices are of limited application to granitoids in a wide area, because these lithotypes generally exhibit wide chemical variation arising from their petrogenesis. The chemical evolution produced during rock weathering, therefore, overprints pre-existing magmatic chemical variation. This problem can cause many classical weathering indices to yield misleading results. This study proposes a method that compensates for the influence of petrogenesis on calculation of the weathering index. The method is based on a bivariate plot of the magmatic chemical variation (MCV) in granitoids, and the degree of chemical weathering (DCW). The MCV axis must be based on an element that reflects magmatic processes and is also relatively immobile during rock weathering. In this study TiO₂ contents are utilized for the MCV. The DCW axis is fundamentally defined by the ratios of more-mobile to less-mobile elements during weathering, and hence many classical indices can be applied. The improved value of the degree of chemical weathering (DCW_i) for a weathered rock is derived by:where MCV₁ is the measured composition (e.g. TiO₂ content) of the weathered rock. DCW₁ denotes the ratios of more-mobile to less-mobile elements of the weathered rock. The “s” parameter is the slope of the least square linear regression for fresh granitoids in the MCV–DCW relationship. MCV_CV is a correction factor which is given by the average point on the MCV axis (e.g. average TiO₂) of the fresh rocks. This method is useful for evaluating the degree of weathering of various granitoids, and enhances the practical application of many weathering indices.  相似文献

Analytic signal approach and its applicability in environmental magnetic investigations   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We investigate the analytic signal method and its applicability in obtaining source locations of compact environmental magnetic objects. Previous investigations have shown that, for two-dimensional magnetic sources, the shape and location of the maxima of the amplitude of the analytic signal (AAS) are independent of the magnetization direction. In this study, we show that the shape of the AAS over magnetic dipole or sphere source is dependent on the direction of magnetization and, consequently, the maxima of the AAS are not always located directly over the dipolar sources. Maximum shift in the horizontal location is obtained for magnetic inclination of 30°. The shifts of the maxima are a function of the source-to-observation distance and they can be up to 30% of the distance. We also present a method of estimating the depths of compact magnetic objects based on the ratio of the AAS of the magnetic anomaly to the AAS of the vertical gradient of the magnetic anomaly. The estimated depths are independent of the magnetization direction. With the help of magnetic anomalies over environmental targets of buried steel drums, we show that the depths can be reliably estimated in most cases. Therefore, the analytic signal approach can be useful in estimating source locations of compact magnetic objects. However, horizontal locations of the targets derived from the maximum values of the AAS must be verified using other techniques.  相似文献

Observation of temperature and velocity from a surface buoy moored in the Shikoku Basin (OMLET-88) —An oceanic response to a Typhoon     

Keisuke Taira  Shoji Kitagawa  Hirotaka Otobe  Tomio Asai 《Journal of Oceanography》1993,49(4):397-406

A surface buoy was moored from 20 April to 2 November 1988 at 28°48 N and 135°01 E where the water depth was 4900 m to measure temperature and velocity in the upper 150 m. The Typhoon 8824 passed at 0300 (JST) on 8 October about 50 km north to the mooring station with a maximum wind speed of 43.5 m s^–1. The buoy was shifted about 30 km to southwest, and the instruments were damaged. The records of temperature at 0.5 m and velocity at 50 m were obtained. The inertial oscillation caused by the typhoon is described using the current record. The oscillation endured for about 20 days. Deep mixing and vertical, heart transport by the typhoon are discussed based on the data from the Ocean Data Buoy of the Japan Meteorological Agency moored at 29°N and 135°E.  相似文献
