Bodenkartierung des Seegebietes Hoofden (südliche Nordsee) mit Hilfe von Grundproben und Echogrammen     

Otto Pratje  Friedrich Schüler 《Ocean Dynamics》1952,5(4):189-196

Zusammenfassung Auf zwei Fahrten des Forschungsschiffes Gauss im Juni 1951 und im März 1952 wurde eine Untersuchung des Meeresbodens der Hoofden mit Hilfe des van Veenschen. Bodengreifers sowie des Unterwegslotes vorgenommen. Die Ergebnisse (mittlerer Probenabstand 10 km) wurden in einer Karte der Bodenbedeckung verarbeitet. Bei solchem Abstand ist jedoch die Grenzziehung zwischen Sedimentunterschieden möglicherweise ungenau; ferner können Feinheiten verborgen bleiben.Deshalb wurde während der genannten Fahrten eine Methode entwickelt, die es ermöglicht, aus Echogrammen auf die Bodenbedeckung zu schließen. Diese Methode wird erläutert und mit Beispielen belegt; dabei werden in formaler Analogie zur elektrischen Vierpoltheorie der Reflexionsfaktor und der Durchlässigkeitsfaktor des Meeresbodens für Schallwellen definiert. Die aus dem Echogramm abgeleiteten Sedimentangaben werden in eine Karte der Bodenbedeckung, die von der vorerwähnten getrennt gezeichnet wurde, eingetragen. Beide Karten werden miteinander verglichen und es wird festgestellt, daß eine qualitative Übereinstimmung in den Angaben besteht, wobei das fortlaufende Echogramm eine Lücke bei der Bestimmung der Grenze zwischen zwei Bodenbedeckungsarten schließt.

Plotting of a chart of the bottom covering in the Southern Bight of the North Sea (Hoofden) based on bottom samples and echograms

Summary On two cruises untertaken in the Hoofden or Southern Bight of the North Sea with the research ship Gauss in June 1951 and March 1952, investigations into the nature of the sea bottom were made with the aid of the van Veen and the underway bottom samplers. The samples which were collected at an average interval of approximately 10 km (5 or 6 nautical miles) were worked up for plotting a chart of the sea bottom. Samples taken at such great intervals do, however, not always afford sufficient accuracy in fixing the boundaries between different kinds of sediments; moreover, minute features may remain unrevealed.Therefore, with a view to improving the accuracy of chart plotting a method was developed on the two cruises enabling the nature of the uppermost layer of the sea bottom to be deduced from echograms. This method is described and exemplified, the factors of reflection and permeability of the sea bottom to acoustic oscillations being defined by formal analogy with the theory of the four terminal electrical network. The data derived from the echograms were plotted on a separate chart showing the bottom covering and being drawn independently from the aforementioned bottom sample chart (cf. fig. 7 and 8, plate 6). A comparison shows that there exists a qualitative agreement between the data inserted on the two charts and that the continuous echogram fills a gap inasmuch as it enables the boundaries between the various types of bottom material to be fixed more exactly.

Établissement d'une carte des sédiments sous-marins de la partie méridionale de la mer du Nord (Hoofden) d'après des échantillons du fond de la mer et des enregistrements ultra-sonores

Résumé Au cours de deux croisières du navire explorateur Gauss dans la région méridionale de la mer du Nord en juin 1951 et en mars 1952 on a examiné le fond de la mer à l'aide de l'échantillonneur van Veen ainsi qu'avec un échantillonneur permettant do recueillir des échantillons sans stopper le navire. Les prélèvements des échantillons furent espacés d'environ 10 kilomètres en moyenne et élaborés pour l'établissement d'une carte de la couche supérieure du fond de la mer. Or, les échantillons prélevés à de tels intervalles ne permettent pas toujours de préciser assez exactement les limites des régions des sédiments divers, ni de révéler des détails minimes.Pour augmenter la précision des cartes on a développé une méthode qui permet de dériver la nature du fond de la mer des enregistrements ultra-sonores. Cette méthode est exposée et illustrée par des examples; les facteurs de réflexion et de perméabilité du fond de la mer aux oscillations acoustiques y sont définis en analogie formale avec la théorie du réseau récurrent. Les données des sédiments dérivées des enregistrements ultra-sonores sont introduites sur une deuxième carte de la couche supérieure du fond de la mer qui fut tracée indépendamment de la carte mentionnée ci-dessus qui se base sur des échantillons du fond de la mer. La comparaison montre que les données sur les deux cartes s'accordent qualitativement et que l'enregistrement ultra-sonore continu a comblé une lacune existant jusqu'ici par rapport à la précision des limites entre les types divers de la matière du fond de la mer.

Deutung von Echogrammen bei Seitenechos     

Friedrich Schüler 《Ocean Dynamics》1952,5(2-3):144-147

Summary When examining the records obtained from echo sounders in sea areas with very uneven and rocky ground, lateral echos have been noticed necessitating a careful examination of the recorded bottom profiles. The position of the lateral profiles cannot be determined unless the oscillator-characteristic within certain tolerances is known. Three copies of sound records from the Norwegian Trough are discussed here and the tolerances in depth as well as in lateral deviation from the course are indicated.

L'interprétation des enregistrements sonores en cas d'échos latéraux

Résumé La présence des échos latéraux qu'on a constatés en examinant des enregistrements du son dans des zones océaniques à fond fortement ravineux et composé de matières dures exige de juger de prudence les profils longitudinaux sous-marins. Pour faire le repérage acoustique des profils latéraux il sera indispensable de connaître précisément la caractéristique du vibreur dans certaines tolérances. Trois enregistrements sonores pris dans le Fossé Norvégien sont exposés et leurs tolérances en profondeur ainsi qu'en déviation latérale de la route sont indiquées.

Die Bedeutung des elektromagnetischen Erdfeldes in der Bioklimatologie     

H. Loßnitzer 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》1951,3(1):297-307

Zusammenfassung Viele meteorobiologische Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, daß kolloidelektrische Vorgänge im Übertragungsmechanismus zwischen Umwelt und Organismen eine bedeutsame Rolle spielen. Diese Hinweise werden diskutiert und insbesondere die geoelektrischen Faktoren besprochen, die hierin von Einfluß sein können; als Indikatoren erscheinen Erdströme besonders geeignet. An speziellen Erdstromregistrierungen werden eine Anzahl atmosphärischer Einflüsse nachgewiesen. Registrierungen von elektromagnetischen Feldstörungen können aber darüber hinaus auch für die allgemeine Meteorologie und die Wettervorhersage bedeutungsvoll sein.

Summary A great number of meteorobiological investigations induce to suppose that colloido-electric processes are of great importance for the mechanism of transmission between environment and organism. These aspects are discussed and especially the geo-electric factors which therein may have a considerable influence, whereof earth-currents are especially qualified as indicators. Different atmospheric influences are showed by special records of earth-currents; beyond it, the records of electromagnetic field perturbations seem to be important for general meteorology and for weather-forecasting.

Résumé De nombreuses recherches météorobiologiques conduisent à l'hypothèse que des processus colloido-électriques jouent un rôle important dans le mécanisme de translation entre milieu et organisme. Ces aspects sont discutéet et surtout les facteurs géoélectriques qui peuvent y avoir une influence; comme indicateurs les courants telluriques paraissent être au premier plan. Certaines influences atmosphériques sont démontrées par des enregistrements spéciaux de courant tellurique. Par-dessus cela, des enregistrements des perturbations du champs électromagnétique peuvent être de grande importance pour la météorologie générale et pour les prévisions du temps.

Investigations of the East Greenland continental margin between 70° and 72° N by deep seismic sounding and gravity studies

Results are presented from a deep seismic sounding experiment with the research vessel POLARSTERN in the Scoresby Sund area, East Greenland. For this continental margin study 9 seismic recording landstations were placed in Scoresby Sund and at the southeast end of Kong Oscars Fjord, and ocean bottom seismographs (OBS) were deployed at 26 positions in and out of Scoresby Sund offshore East Greenland between 70° and 72° N and on the west flank of the Kolbeinsey Ridge. The landstations were established using helicopters from RV POLARSTERN. Explosives, a 321 airgun and 81 airguns were used as seismic sources in the open sea. Gravity data were recorded in addition to the seismic measurements. A free-air gravity map is presented. The sea operations — shooting and OBS recording — were strongly influenced by varying ice conditions. Crustal structure 2-D models have been calculated from the deep seismic sounding results. Free-air gravity anomalies have been calculated from these models and compared to the observed gravity. In the inner Scoresby Sund — the Caledonian fold belt region — the crustal thickness is about 35 km, and thins seaward to 10 km. Sediments more than 10 km thick on Jameson Land are of mainly Mesozoic age. In the outer shelf region and deep sea a ‘Moho’ cannot clearly be identified by our data. There are only weak indications for the existence of a ‘Moho’ west of the Kolbeinsey Ridge. Inside and offshore Scoresby Sund there is clear evidence for a lower crust refractor characterised byp-velocities of 6.8–7.3 km s^?1 at depths between 6 and 10 km. We believe these velocities are related to magmatic processes of rifting and first drifting controlled by different scale mantle updoming during Paleocene to Eocene and Late Oligocene to Miocene times: the separation of Greenland/Norway and the separation of the Jan Mayen Ridge/Greenland, respectively. A thin igneous upper crust, interpreted to be of oceanic origin, begins about 50 km seaward of the Liverpool Land Escarpment and thickens oceanward. In the escarpment zone the crustal composition is not clear. Probably it is stretched and attenuated continental crust interspersed with basaltic intrusions. The great depth of the basement (about 5000 m) points to a high subsidence rate of about 0.25 mm yr^?1 due to sediment loading and cooling of the crust and upper mantle, mainly since Miocene time. The igneous upper crust thickens eastward under the Kolbeinsey Ridge to about 2.5 km; the thickening is likely caused by higher production of extrusives. The basementp-velocity of 5.8–6.0 km s^?1 is rather high. Such velocities are associated with young basalts and may also be caused by a higher percentage of dykes. Tertiary to recent sediments, about 5000 m thick, form most of the shelf east of Scoresby Sund, Liverpool Land and Kong Oscars Fjord. This points to a high sedimentation rate mainly since the Miocene. The deeper sediments have a rather high meanp-velocity of 4.5 km s^?1, perhaps due to pre-Cambrian to Caledonian deposits of continental origin. The upper sediments offshore Scoresby Sund are thick and have a rather low velocity. They are interpreted as eroded material transported from inside the Sund into the shelf region. Offshore Kong Oscars Fjord the upper sediments, likely Jurassic to Devonian deposits, are thin in the shelf region but thicken to more than 3000 m in the slope area. The crust and upper mantle structure in the ocean-continent transition zone is interpreted to be the result of the superposition of the activities of three rifting phases related to mantle plumes of different dimensions:

1. the ‘Greenland/Norway separation phase’ of high volcanic activity,
2. the ‘Jan Mayen Ridge/Greenland separation phase’ and
3. the ‘Kolbeinsey Ridge phase’ of ‘normal’ volcanic activity related to a more or less normal mantle temperature.

During period 2 and 3 only a few masses of extrusives were produced, but large volumes of intrusives were emplaced. So the margin between Scoresby Sund and Jan Mayen Fracture Zone is interpreted to be a stretched margin with low volcanic activity.  相似文献   

High-resolution sea ice in long-term global ocean GCM integrations     

Achim Stssel  Marion M. Stssel  Joong-Tae Kim 《Ocean Modelling》2007,16(3-4):206-223

The resolution of the sea-ice component of a coarse-resolution global ocean general circulation model (GCM) has been enhanced to about 22 km in the Southern Ocean. The ocean GCM is designed for long-term integrations suitable for investigations of the deep-ocean equilibrium response to changes in southern hemisphere high-latitude processes. The space and time scales of the high-resolution sea-ice component are commensurate with those of the resolution of satellite passive-microwave sea-ice data. This provides the opportunity for a rigorous evaluation of simulated sea-ice characteristics. It is found that the satellite-derived continuous high ice concentration of the interior winter ice pack can only be captured when vertical oceanic mixing is modified in a way that less local, intermittent convection occurs. Furthermore, the width and the variability of the coastal polynyas around the Antarctic continent and its ice shelves are best captured when some form of ice-shelf melting is accounted for. The width of the wintertime ice edge is reasonably reproduced, while its variability remains underestimated, closely following the coarse-grid pattern of the ocean model due to its high dependence on ocean temperature. Additional variability besides daily winds, e.g. in form of idealized tidal currents, improves the temporal and spatial ice-edge variability, while leads in the interior ice pack become more abundant, more in line with the fine-scale satellite-derived texture. The coast- or ice-shelf line is described on the fine grid based on satellite passive-microwave data. This method requires parts of a coarse coastal ocean grid cell to be covered by an inert layer of “fast ice” or “ice shelf”. Reasonable long-term global deep-ocean properties can only be achieved when these areas are not inert, i.e. are exposed to heat flux and ice growth, or when the vertical mixing parameterization allows for excessive open-ocean convection. The model area exposed to cold high-latitude atmospheric conditions thus being most decisive for a realistic representation of the long-term deep-ocean properties, suggests that high-latitude coastlines are definitely in need of being represented at high resolution, including ice sheets and their effects on the heat and freshwater flux for the ocean.  相似文献

Dating pseudotachylyte of the Asuke Shear Zone using zircon fission-track and U–Pb methods     

Masaki Murakami  Jan Ko&#x;ler  Hideo Takagi  Takahiro Tagami 《Tectonophysics》2006,424(1-2):99-107

Zircon fission-track (FT) and U–Pb analyses were performed on zircon extracted from a pseudotachylyte zone and surrounding rocks of the Asuke Shear Zone (ASZ), Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The U–Pb ages of all four samples are  67–76 Ma, which is interpreted as the formation age of Ryoke granitic rocks along the ASZ. The mean zircon FT age of host rock is 73 ± 7 (2σ) Ma, suggesting a time of initial cooling through the zircon closure temperature. The pseudotachylyte zone however, yielded a zircon FT age of 53 ± 9 (2σ) Ma, statistically different from the age of the host rock. Zircon FTs showed reduced mean lengths and intermediate ages for samples adjacent to the pseudotachylyte zone. Coupled with the new zircon U–Pb ages and previous heat conduction modeling, the present FT data are best interpreted as reflecting paleothermal effects of the frictional heating of the fault. The age for the pseudotachylyte coincides with the change in direction of rotation of the Pacific plate from NW to N which can be considered to initialize the NNE–SSW trending sinistral–extensional ASZ before the Miocene clockwise rotation of SW Japan. The present study demonstrates that a history of fault motions in seismically active regions can be reconstructed by dating pseudotachylytes using zircon FT thermochronology.  相似文献

We present an overview of the Space Telescope A901/2 Galaxy Evolution Survey (STAGES). STAGES is a multiwavelength project designed to probe physical drivers of galaxy evolution across a wide range of environments and luminosity. A complex multicluster system at   z ∼ 0.165  has been the subject of an 80-orbit F606W Hubble Space Telescope (HST) /Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) mosaic covering the full     span of the supercluster. Extensive multiwavelength observations with XMM–Newton , GALEX, Spitzer , 2dF, Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and the 17-band COMBO-17 photometric redshift survey complement the HST imaging. Our survey goals include simultaneously linking galaxy morphology with other observables such as age, star formation rate, nuclear activity and stellar mass. In addition, with the multiwavelength data set and new high-resolution mass maps from gravitational lensing, we are able to disentangle the large-scale structure of the system. By examining all aspects of an environment we will be able to evaluate the relative importance of the dark matter haloes, the local galaxy density and the hot X-ray gas in driving galaxy transformation. This paper describes the HST imaging, data reduction and creation of a master catalogue. We perform the Sérsic fitting on the HST images and conduct associated simulations to quantify completeness. In addition, we present the COMBO-17 photometric redshift catalogue and estimates of stellar masses and star formation rates for this field. We define galaxy and cluster sample selection criteria, which will be the basis for forthcoming science analyses, and present a compilation of notable objects in the field. Finally, we describe the further multiwavelength observations and announce public access to the data and catalogues.  相似文献
