Résumé

Des données de températures moyennes mensuelles rassemblées, entre 1901 et 1988, pour six stations météorologiques de Tunisie ont été étudiées en vue d'estimer leurs périodicités dominantes et leurs tendances. L'utilisation de la procédure de Siddiqui & Wang (1984) a permis de détecter dans les séries originales une seule période significativement dominante qui est celle des 12 mois de l'année. Le test de corrélation de rang de Kendall a montré que les séries ne sont pas tendancielles.  相似文献   

What can be deduced from chemical measurement in an open-field raingauge? An example in the Maures Massif,southeastern France

Abstract

The deposition of chemical elements in a catchment occurs through three different processes: wet, dry and cloud deposition. Total deposition cannot be inferred from measurements made with open-field raingauges, and still constitutes a challenge to scientific method. The chemical composition of samples from an open-field raingauge (bulk precipitation) was analysed over a period of several years in a small Mediterranean catchment in the Maures Massif, France. The input of chloride measured in this way was two times lower than the output, despite the fact that this element is reputed to be conservative, which means input and output should roughly balance. This implies that input has previously been underestimated. Analysis of the bulk precipitation data was carried out taking into account both the history of rain events and of sampling. This study allowed the relative parts of the different deposition processes to be quantified. Dry deposition can provide from 20% to more than 80% of the anthropogenic and terrigenic elements (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, NO₃ ^?, SO₄ ^2-, SiO₂) to the rain samples. The occult deposition of marine elements on the catchment area (50% of total deposition) was found to be mostly due to cloud deposition during wet periods.  相似文献   

Aeolian construction and alluvial dismantling of a fault‐bounded intracontinental aeolian dune field (Teruel Basin,Spain); a continental perspective on Late Pliocene climate change and variability     

JUAN PEDRO RODRÍGUEZ‐LÓPEZ  CARLOS L. LIESA  JAN VAN DAM  PALOMA LAFUENTE  LUIS ARLEGUI  LOPE EZQUERRO  POPPE L. DE BOER 《Sedimentology》2012,59(5):1536-1567

An aeolian dune field migrating to the east encroached on the toes of alluvial fans in the Teruel Basin (eastern Spain) during a short interval in the Late Pliocene (ca 2·9 to 2·6 Ma), when Northern Hemisphere glaciation and strong glacial–interglacial cycles began. Preservation of the dune field was controlled by syn‐sedimentary activity of a normal fault. Ephemeral water discharge eroded aeolian sands and formed V‐shaped channels in which aeolian sandstone blocks accumulated. The incorporation of loose aeolian sand in wadi waters modified the sediment/water ratio, changing the physical properties of the flows as they penetrated the aeolian dune field. The erosion and cover of aeolian dune foresets by sheetflood deposits suggest that dune‐damming caused the intermittent ponding of water behind the dunes and its flashy release. The arid climate in the Late Pliocene western Mediterranean realm favoured the transport of windblown sediments from northern Africa and western Mediterranean land masses into the Mediterranean. The formation of the studied aeolian dune field (2·9 to 2·6 Ma) and possibly others (for example, the Atacama, Namib and Sahara deserts) correlates with a strong increase of the influence of obliquity, which can be attributed to the combination of a regional expression related to the reduced effect of precession due to a minimum in the long‐period (2·3 Ma) eccentricity cycle and a remote expression of the onset of the Northern Hemisphere glaciation.  相似文献   

Metamorphic evolution of lawsonite eclogites from the southern Motagua fault zone,Guatemala: insights from phase equilibria and Raman spectroscopy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Lawsonite eclogite (metabasalt and metadolerite) and associated metasedimentary rocks in a serpentinite mélange from an area just south of the Motagua fault zone (SMFZ), Guatemala, represent excellent natural records of the forearc slab–mantle interface. Pseudosection modelling of pristine lawsonite eclogite reproduces the observed predominant mineral assemblages, and garnet compositional isopleths intersect within the phase fields, yielding a prograde P–T path that evolves from 20 kbar, 470 °C (M1) to 25 kbar, 520 °C (M2). The dominant penetrative foliation within the eclogite blocks is defined by minerals developed during the prograde evolution, and the associated deformation, therefore, took place during subduction. Thermometry using Raman spectra of carbonaceous material in metasedimentary rocks associated with the SMFZ eclogites gives estimates of peak‐T of ～520 °C. Barometry using Raman spectroscopy shows unfractured quartz inclusions in garnet rims retain overpressures of up to ～10 kbar, implying these inclusions were trapped at conditions just below the quartz/coesite transition, in agreement with the results of phase equilibrium analysis. Additional growth of Ca‐rich garnet indicates initial isothermal decompression to 20 kbar (M3) followed by hydration and substantial cooling to the lawsonite–blueschist facies (M4). Further decompression of the hydrated eclogite blocks to the pumpellyite–actinolite facies (3–5 kbar, 230–250 °C) is associated with dehydration and veining (M5). The presence of eclogite as m‐ to 10 m‐sized blocks in a serpentinite matrix, lack of widespread deformation developed during exhumation and derived prograde P–T path associated with substantial dehydration of metabasites within the antigorite stability field suggest that the SMFZ eclogites represent the uppermost part of the forearc slab crust sampled by an ascending serpentinite diapir in an active, moderate‐T subduction zone.  相似文献   

Dinoflagellate cysts reflecting surface-water conditions in Voldafjorden, western Norway during the last 11 300 years

Abundant dinocysts in a high-resolution core from Voldafjorden, western Norway, reflect changes in sea surface-water conditions during the last c. 11 300 BP. The period from c. 11 300 to 10 800 BP (Late Allerφd) was characterized by cool temperate surface-waters, high annual temperature variation and relatively strong stratification of the water column, which is characteristic of fjord environments. Due to the stratification of the surface waters, the uppermost layer may have warmed considerably. This generated a principal difference in temperature conditions between land and sea, with slightly higher temperatures in the marine environments. The period from c. 10 800 to 10 000 BP is characterized by very harsh conditions, with sea surface-water temperatures close to freezing and long lasting seasonal sea-ice cover. Similar temperature changes at the beginning and end of the Younger Dryas are characteristic for NW Europe, but those in Voldafjorden differ from those in the open sea and in the Norwegian Channel by being significantly larger. The stratification of the water column during the Late Allerφd was probably broken down because of incipient inflow of temperate normal saline waters, which caused a marked sea surface-water warming, at c. 10 000 BP. Surface-water conditions close to those of today were gradually established between c. 10000 and 9500 BP. However, these interglacial conditions were abruptly interrupted by a significant drop in winter sea surface-water temperature and salinity occurring around 9700 BP. From c. 9500 to 7000 BP the influence of temperate normal saline water masses increased stepwise until full interglacial conditions were established around c. 7000 BP. The change in the dinocyst assemblage around 7000 BP in Voldafjorden was probably related to the onset of the modern Norwegian Coastal Current, previously documented in cores from the Skagerrak and the Mid-Norwegian Continental Shelf. The last c. 7000 BP is characterized by relatively stable surface-water conditions, possibly interrupted by periods of cooling or decreased inflow of temperate normal saline water. Like several other dinoflagellate cyst records from the Norwegian-Greenland Sea, O. centrocarpum peak values are between 4000 and 5000 BP, suggesting a regional-scale oceanographic change.  相似文献   

Moisture retrievals from simulated zenith delay "observations" and their impact on short‐range precipitation forecasts     

MANUEL S. F. V. DE PONDECA  XIAOLEI ZOU 《地球，A辑:动力气象学与海洋学》2001,53(2):192-214

The feasibility of assimilating the GPS total zenith delay into atmospheric models is investigated within the framework of the "Observing System Simulation Experiment." The total zenith delay is made up of two terms: one is proportional to the pressure at the site of the GPS ground‐based receiver and the other to the overlying amount of water vapor. Using the MM5 mesoscale model and its adjoint, a set of 4‐dimensional variational (4DVAR) experiments is performed. Results from the assimilation of simulated precipitable water observations are used as the benchmark. The model domain covers Southern California. The observations are simulated with a 10 km horizontal resolution model that includes full physics, while a 20‐km resolution and a less comprehensive physics package are used in the 4DVAR experiments. Both, the 10‐km and 20‐km models employ the same set of 15 vertical levels. Moisture fields retrieved from the total zenith delay are found to compare very well with those retrieved from the precipitable water. Verified against the observations, the vertically integrated moisture is found to be very accurate. An overall improvement is also achieved in the vertical profiles of the moisture fields. The use of the so‐called background term and model initialization are shown to greatly reduce the negative impact that the sole assimilation of the total zenith delay can have on the pressure field and integrated water vapor. The adverse effect stems from the poor resolution of the topography needed to evaluate the model pressure at the GPS sites. The analysis increments of all model fields are found to be similar to the counterparts obtained from the assimilation of the precipitable water. The same is true for the short‐range precipitation forecasts initiated from the 4DVAR‐optimal initial conditions.  相似文献

In situ produced ¹⁴C by cosmic ray muons in ablating Antarctic ice

Samples of a core (52 m) of ablating Antarctic ice were analysed for ¹⁴CO and ¹⁴CO₂ by accelerator mass spectrometry. The data were compared with a ¹⁴C in situ production model that includes muon capture in addition to oxygen spallation by neutrons. The analysis reveals significant in situ ¹⁴C at depths below 10 m, which we attribute to ¹⁴C production by cosmic ray muons. The age of the ice was determined as 9.3±0.4 ¹⁴C ka BP.  相似文献

How a river submerges into the sea: a geological record of changing a fluvial to a marine paleoenvironment during early Holocene sea level rise     

D.A. HEPP  O.E. ROMERO  T. M RZ  R. DE POL‐HOLZ  D. HEBBELN 《第四纪科学杂志》2019,34(7):581-592

Coastal seas, and in particular estuarine systems, were significantly affected by Quaternary sea level changes. Furthermore, the dynamics of shelf and coastal evolution have had a strong impact on coastal landscapes inhabited by humans. The postglacial evolution of the vast North Sea shelf with its huge drainage systems, e.g. the Elbe Paleovalley and its tributary system, is an excellent research target to understand how coastal shelf environments change in response to sea level rise. In this study, we investigate infill sediments of the Paleo‐Ems valley – a drowned extension of the modern Ems River and part of the Elbe Paleovalley drainage system. Radiocarbon‐dated transgression sequences provide several new observations regarding the mode and rate of the river system submerging due to the Holocene transgression. Thus, the Paleo‐Ems valley submerged within a short time span of~200 years since the river was not able to adjust its gradient to the rapid rising sea level. The fate of the Paleo‐Ems is exemplary for the rapid change of a former fluvial landscape into a coastal landscape and finally into a submarine seascape. © 2019 The Authors.
