Sulfur Isotope Study on Hg and Sb Deposits in Japan     

Akira Imai    Naotatsu Shikazono    Masaaki Shimizu  Hidehiko Shimazaki 《Resource Geology》2006,56(1):37-48

Abstract. Sulfur isotope ratios of cinnabar from Hg deposits and stibnite, jamesonite and berthierite from Sb deposits in Japan are examined in order to understand metallogeneses of Hg and Sb deposits in Japanese island arcs. The studied Hg and Sb deposits include the Hg deposit at Yamato‐suigin (Honshu) and the Sb deposit at Ichinokawa (Shikoku) in the Southwest Japan arc. In addition, Hg deposits including Itomuka and Ryushoden in central Hokkaido and Hg and Sb mineralizations in Northeast Japan arc are examined. The δ³⁴S values of cinnabar from the Hidaka‐Kitami district, central Hokkaido, including the Itomuka and Ryushoden deposits range widely, from ‐10 to +16 %o, the highest values encountered at the Samani deposit. The δ³⁴S values of cinnabar from other areas in Japan range from ‐12 to +5 %o, having δ³⁴S values higher than +2 %o from southwestern Hokkaido (Meiji deposit), Shikoku (Suii deposit) and Kyushu (Hasami and Yamagano deposits). On the other hand, the δ³⁴S values of stibnite from all areas in Japan range from ‐14 to +5 %o, having positive δ³⁴S values higher than +2 %o up to +5 %o from southwestern Hokkaido (Yakumo, Toyotomi and Teine deposits) and eastern‐central Honshu (Hachiman and Daikoku deposits). The variation in δ³⁴S values of Hg and Sb deposits may reflect the variation in δ³⁴S values of country rocks or variation in mixing ratio of sulfur extracted from the country rocks, sulfur derived from seawater sulfate, and sulfur derived from magmatic emanations. The relatively high δ³⁴S values of cinnabar and stibnite higher than +2 %o from southwestern Hokkaido, eastern‐central Honshu and Kyushu are probably caused by contribution of volcanic emanation from arc magmas having positive σδ³⁴S values, whereas the positive δ³⁴S values of cinnabar higher than +2 %o from Suii deposit in Shikoku may be attributed to structurally substituted sulfate in limestone country rocks and/or sulfur derived from seawater sulfate. However, the wide range of the δ³⁴S values of cinnabar from the Hidaka‐Kitami district, central Hokkaido, is difficult to explain at this moment. Other relatively low, negative δ³⁴S values of cinnabar and stibnite, berthierite from other areas in Japan may be attributed to 1) incorporation of isotopically light sedimentary sulfur or sulfur derived from ilmenite‐series silicic magma, or 2) less contribution of volcanic emanation from arc magmas having positive σδ³⁴S values.  相似文献   

A THEORETICAL STUDY ON THE MULTIPLE EQUILIBRIA OF TROPICAL ATMOSPHERE AND THEIR RELATION TO THE ONSET OF THE SUMMER MONSOON     

赵南  丁一汇  高桥正明  沈新勇 《热带气象学报(英文版)》2006,12(2):130-138

Multiple equilibria and their stability in tropical atmosphere are investigated through β-plane barotropic models with consideration of heating and dissipation. We have derived the solutions of the model equations corresponding to the multiple equilibria or the steady flows first, and then establish the criteria for the stability of steady flow by use of the Liapunov direct Method. When these criteria are applied to the solutions of equilibria obtained, stable flows, which are closely related to the different patterns of quasi-stationary circulation in the tropical region, are found. The configurations of these stable flows and the shift between two of them as season changes provide quite reasonable explanations to many fundamental problems of tropical circulation features such as the catastrophe mechanism of the onset and the break-active cycle of the Asian summer monsoon. It follows that the onset or the abrupt transition of the Asian summer monsoon could be attributed to the multiple equilibrium property of the tropical circulation resulted from the advective nonlinearity, which provide another explanation among others.  相似文献

Lake-level changes during the past 100,000 years at Lake Baikal, southern Siberia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Atsushi Urabe  Masaaki Tateishi  Hirokazu Matsuoka  Alexsander Dmytriev 《Quaternary Research》2004,62(2):214-222

Lake-level changes inferred from seismic surveying and core sampling of the floor of Lake Baikal near the Selenga River delta can be used to constrain regional climatic history and appear to be correlated to global climate changes represented by marine oxygen isotope stages (MIS). The reflection pattern and correlation to the isotope stages indicate that the topset and progradational foreset sediments of the deltas formed during periods of stable lake levels and warm climatic conditions. During warm stages, the lake level was high, and during cold stages it was low. The drop in the lake level due to cooling from MIS 5 through MIS 4 is estimated to be 33-38 m; from MIS 3 through MIS 2, it fell an additional 11-15 m. Because the lake level is chiefly controlled by evaporation and river input, we infer that more water was supplied to Lake Baikal during warm stages.  相似文献   

Two Se-bearing Ag–Bi Sulphosalts, Benjaminite and Matildite from the Ikuno Deposits, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan –Au–Ag Mineralization in Polymetallic Zone     

Masaaki SHIMIZU    Akira KATO  Fumihiko MATSUYAMA 《Resource Geology》1998,48(2):117-124

Abstract: Se-bearing benjaminite and matildite are described from the polymetallic zone of the Ikuno deposits, Japan. The former is the first occurrence in Japan, and is from two separate veins, the Nanten and Daimaru, while the locality of the latter could not be specified. The empirical formulae of two benjaminites based on 22 atoms are (Ag_{2. 74}Cu_{0. 24})_{Σ2. 98}(Bi_{7. 00}Sb_{0. 01})_{Σ7. 01}(S_{10. 89}Se_{1. 12})_{Σ12. 01} (Nanten) and (Ag_{2. 90}Cu_{0. 10})_{Σ3. 00}(Bi_{6. 74}Pb_{0. 18}Sb_{0. 07})_{Σ6. 99}(S_{11. 68}Se_{0.33)Σ12. 01} (Daimaru), leading to the validation of the formula Ag₃Bi₇S₁₂ as the ideal one for benjaminite, and that of matildite based on 4 atoms is Ag_{1. 00}Bi_{1. 00}(S_{1. 78}Se_{0. 22})Σ_{2. 00}. These designate the substitution of Se for S in all of them, where Se is preferentially incorporated into these Ag-Bi sulphosalts. The unit-cell parameters of them and matildite are: a 13. 272, b 4. 037, c 20. 185 Å, and β 103. 16° (Daimaru), a 13. 270, b 4. 040, c 20. 273 Å, and β103. 17° (Nanten); and a 4. 0670, c 18. 996 Å, respectively. The products of Au-Ag mineralization in the Ikuno polymetallic vein-type deposits also occur as such Ag-Bi sulfosalts as benjaminite and matildite, in addition to pavonite, “treasurite derivative” and “electrum” with cassiterite in the polymetallic zone, and also do as “electrum”, acanthite, and pyrargyrite-proustite in the Au-Ag zone. The significant quantity of the Ag-Bi sulfosalts does not violate the zoning occupying the outermost part of the zonal distribution of ores in the deposits.  相似文献   

Tidal current fluctuations in the Soya Current     

Masaaki Aota  Masaji Matsuyama 《Journal of Oceanography》1987,43(5):276-282

Long-term current measurements were carried out near the Soya Strait in the Okhotsk Sea during a period from February 1980 to September 1982. The data were divided into five segments, each being 150 days long, and the tidal ellipse parameters of major axis, minor axis, orientation, and phase for the four major constituents (M2, S2, K1 and O1 tides) were calculated at each segment. The major axis of the mean tidal ellipse averaged over five segments was 29.9 cm sec^–1 for O1 tide, 28.3 cm sec^–1 for K1 tide, 10.4 cm sec^–1 for M2 tide, and 3.7 cm sec^–1 for S2 tide. The phase and orientation of the tidal ellipse were much stable. But, the root mean square deviations of the major axis reached 20% of the mean values for all four constituents. The tidal currents estimated from the sea level records at Wakkanai and Esashi along the Hokkaido coast in the Okhotsk Sea show that their amplitudes and phases are in good agreement with the observed ones for all four constituents.  相似文献   

Back-arc rifting in the Okinawa Trough   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Masaaki Kimura 《Marine and Petroleum Geology》1985,2(3):222-240

Geological and geophysical data reveal that the Okinawa Trough shows incipient continental rifting, and crustal separation started from about 2 Ma. The early extensional movements in the trough are probably of Miocene age. In addition to the Miocene phase, two main periods of extension are recognized: a Pleistocene phase between 1.9 and 0.5 Ma and the present day phase. During the stage short central rifts (Central Grabens) were formed. The opening however, may have occurred only in the southern part of the trough basin having an average half spreading rate of 2 cm yr^?1 since Early Pleistocene time, producing its present width of several tens of kilometres. These activities were well represented by igneous intrusions, sedimentary facies and sedimentary structures in and around the Okinawa Trough. The width of the zone affected by back-arc extension (defined as Greater Okinawa Trough) is larger than the present Okinawa Trough, whose width is 200–250 km. The present form of the Greater Okinawa Trough started to form at the same time as that of the Okinawa Trough.  相似文献   

In Situ Measurement of the Lobate Ctenophore Bolinopsis Mikado (Moser) Abundance by the Video Recording System   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Tomoyuki Kasuya  Takashi Ishimaru  Masaaki Murano 《Journal of Oceanography》2001,57(1):115-118

A video recording system (VRS) with dark-field illumination was designed for continuous observation of the lobate ctenophore Bolinopsis mikado on spatial distribution, abundance and size distribution. In situ operation proved that the VRS was capable to discriminate B. mikado larger than 15 mm in total length at the towing speed around 0.5 m s^–1. The VRS was useful to determine spatial distribution of B. mikado biomass, since it measured the abundance and size composition simultaneously.  相似文献   

Velocity Field of the Oyashio Region Observed with Satellite-Tracked Surface Drifters during 1999–2000     

Kay?I.?OhshimaEmail author  Masaaki?Wakatsuchi  Sei-Ichi?Saitoh 《Journal of Oceanography》2005,61(5):845-855

Based on the surface drifters that moved out from the Sea of Okhotsk to the Pacific, the surface velocity fields of mean, eddy, and tidal components in the Oyashio region are examined for the period September 1999 to August 2000. Along the southern Kuril Island Chain, the Oyashio Current, having a width of ∼100 km, exists with velocities of 0.2–0.4 m s⁻¹. From 40°N to 43°N, the Subarctic Current flows east- or northeastward with velocities of 0.1–0.3 m s⁻¹, accompanied by a meandering Oyashio or Subarctic front. Between the Oyashio and Subarctic current regions, an eddy-dominant region exists with both cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. The existence of an eastward flow just south of Bussol' Strait is suggested. The 2000 anticyclonic warmcore ring located south of Hokkaido was found to have a nearly symmetric velocity structure with a maximum velocity of ∼0.7 m s⁻¹ at 70 km from the eddy center. Diurnal tidal currents with a clockwise tidal ellipse are amplified over the shelf and slope off Urup and Iturup Islands, suggesting the presence of diurnal shelf waves. From Lagrangian statistics, the single-particle diffusivity is estimated to be ∼10 × 10⁷ cm²s⁻¹.  相似文献
