2004年春季（2003年12月至2004年5月）利用激光雷达在北京和呼和浩特对沙尘天气进行了连续观测。利用激光雷达的数据导出了沙尘和大气污染物气溶胶消光系数的关系,对两个地点的沙尘天气特征和大气污染特征进行了探讨。该期间在呼和浩特观测到较大型的沙尘事件（消光系数大于0.3·km-1）有9次,这些起源于蒙古国/内蒙古的沙尘事件晚于呼和浩特6~10 h在北京被观测到。在呼和浩特观测到的沙尘云块的高度普遍较低（由地表至高空1~2 km）,而在北京较高一般可达到2~4 km,同一沙尘事件的最高浓度（消光系数）是呼和浩特高于北京。在北京观测到的沙尘天气共有17次,其中包括数次小规模的沙尘事件在呼和浩特未观测到。从北京及呼和浩特的观测结果可以看出,北京地区3~5月沙尘的背景浓度高于呼和浩特,北京地区具有明显的区域规模大气污染特征,而呼和浩特只具有局部规模的大气污染特征。  相似文献   

Change in Extent of Meadows and Shrub Fields in the Central Western Cascade Range,Oregon∗     

Sadao Takaoka  Frederick J. Swanson 《The Professional geographer》2013,65(4):527-540

We examined change in areal extent of mountain meadows and fields of deciduous shrubs and conifer saplings in the central western Cascade Range of Oregon, based on analysis of aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 2000. These nonforest vegetation patches are distinctive habitats in dominantly forested landscapes, such as the Cascades, and change in extent of these habitats is of interest to scientists and land managers. We mapped and dated even-aged forest stands of probable postfire origin around the nonforest patches, using tree-ring analysis and interpretation of aerial photographs. We used these and archival data to interpret possible influences of past wildfire and sheep grazing on the extent of nonforest patches. The total area of nonforest vegetation patches decreased from 5.5 percent of the study area in 1946 to 2.5 percent in 2000. Significantly more cases of contracted patches were observed for mesic and xeric meadows which have adjacent forest established after wildfire in the approximately 150 years preceding 1946. A higher proportion of mesic (47 percent, n = 47) than xeric (17 percent, n= 115) meadows contracted between 1946 and 2000. Broad-leaved shrub fields were unchanged, probably because of topo-edaphic controls, dense cover of shrubs, and snow effects; but all fields of conifer saplings underwent succession to forest. We observed no strong influences of sheep grazing on the extent of meadows.  相似文献   

X-ray CT based numerical analysis of fracture flow for core samples under various confining pressures   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The X-ray CT based numerical analysis of fracture flow for core samples, recently developed by the authors, was applied to two granite core samples having either a mated artificial or a mated natural fracture at confining pressures of 5 to 50 MPa. A third-generation medical X-ray CT scanner was used to image the samples within a core holder consisting of an aluminum liner and a carbon fiber overwrap. Fracture models (i.e., aperture distributions) were obtained by the CT images, the resolution of which was coarser than the apertures, and a single-phase flow simulation was performed using a local cubic law-based fracture flow model. Numerical results were evaluated by a fracture porosity measurement and a solution displacement experiment using NaCl and NaI aqueous solutions. These numerical results coincided only qualitatively with the experimental results, primarily due to image noise from the aluminum liner of the core holder. Nevertheless, the numerical results revealed flow paths within the fractures and their changes with confining pressure, whereas the experimental results did not provide such results. Different stress-dependencies in the flow paths were observed between the two samples despite the similar stress-dependency in fracture porosity and permeability. The changes in total area of the flow paths with confining pressure coincided qualitatively with changes in breakthrough points in the solution displacement experiment. Although the data is limited, the results of the present study suggest the importance of analyzing fluid flows within naturally fractured core samples under in situ conditions in order to better understand the fracture flow characteristics in a specific field. As demonstrated herein, X-ray CT-based numerical analysis is effective for addressing this concern. Using a multi-phase flow model, as well as a core holder constructed of an engineered plastic, should provide a useful, non-destructive, and non-contaminative X-ray CT-based fracture flow analysis for core samples under in situ conditions in future studies.  相似文献

An improved extraction system to measure carbon‐14 terrestrial ages of meteorites and pairing of the Antarctic Yamato‐75097 group chondrites     

M. Minami  A. Terui  N. Takaoka  T. Nakamura 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2006,41(4):529-540

Abstract— We examined an improved system for extraction of carbon from meteorites, using a vacuum‐tight RF melting method. Meteorite samples mixed with an iron combustion accelerator, including a specific amount of carbon (0.052%), were combusted in a RF furnace (LECO HF‐10). ¹⁴CO₂ extracted from the meteorite was diluted with a known amount of nearly ¹⁴C‐free CO₂, evolved from the iron accelerator on combustion. The ¹⁴C activities of the recently fallen Holbrook (L6) and Mt. Tazerzait (L5) meteorites were measured by this method. The mean value was 56.5 ± 3.0 dpm/kg, which is similar to the values reported for recently fallen L6 chondrites. Furthermore, terrestrial ages were measured for four Antarctic meteorites: 1.8 ± 0.5 kyr for Yamato (Y‐) 75097 (L6), 1.8 ± 0.5 kyr for Y‐75108 (L6), and 0.1 ± 0.1 kyr for Y‐74192 (H5). For Y‐74190 (L6), an apparent age of 0.8 ± 0.5 kyr was calculated. After consideration of the shielding effect by using ²²Ne/²¹Ne values, we obtained about 1.8 kyr for the terrestrial age of this chondrite. The five samples Y‐74190, Y‐75097, and Y‐75108, together with Y‐75102 (L6) and Y‐75271 (L6), have been reported to be paired and fragments of an L‐chondrite shower (Honda 1981; Takaoka 1987). The result of this work and literature data for the latter two samples confirmed that they are paired. More discussion and experimental work are needed for other recently fallen meteorites, both for L and H chondrites, and a correction for the shielding effect should be done to determine a more reliable terrestrial age.  相似文献

On the number ratio of horizontal branch stars to red giant stars in globular clusters     

Nobuo Arimoto  Mahiro Simoda 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1981,76(1):73-81

The number ratios of horizontal branch stars to red giant stars were obtained for globular clusters and Draco dwarf galaxy and the helium abundance was estimated using model results without semiconvection zone (SCZ) and with fully developed one. The analysis was confined to the four clusters (M4, M5, M13, and 47 Tuc) and the Draco galaxy, for which fairly precise star counts had been carried out. The effect of the difference in radial distribution between horizontal and red giant branch stars were taken into account, if necessary. The statistically significant difference inR exists among these objects. The cause may be the difference in the helium abundance and/or in the development of the SCZ. In the case of the fully developed SCZ, the helium abundance for M5 and Draco is appreciably smaller than the value given by the big-bang cosmology. It may be taken as an evidence against the full development of the SCZ for the horizontal branch stars in these objects.  相似文献   

Oxygen isotopic and chemical compositions of cosmic spherules collected from the Antarctic ice sheet: Implications for their precursor materials     

Toru Yada  Tomoki Nakamura  Noriko Matsumoto  Hajime Hiyagon  Naoji Sugiura  Nobuo Takaoka 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2005,69(24):5789-5804

Bulk chemical compositions and oxygen isotopic compositions were analyzed for 48 stony cosmic spherules (melted micrometeorites) collected from the Antarctic ice sheet using electron- and ion-microprobes. No clear correlation was found between their isotopic compositions and textures. The oxygen isotopic compositions showed an extremely wide range from −28‰ to +93‰ in δ¹⁸O and from −21‰ to +13‰ in Δ¹⁷O. In δ¹⁸O-δ¹⁷O space, most samples (38 out of 48) plot close to the terrestrial fractionation line, but 7 samples plot along the carbonaceous chondrite anhydrous mineral (CCAM) line. Three samples plot well above the terrestrial fractionation line. One of these has a Δ¹⁷O of +13‰, the largest value ever found in solar system materials. One possible precursor for this spherule could be ¹⁶O-poor planetary material that is still unknown as a meteorite. The majority of the remaining spherules are thought to be related to carbonaceous chondrites.  相似文献   

Implication of the temporal sulphur isotopic variation during the 2000 eruption of Miyakejima Volcano, Japan

Abstract   The variation of sulphur isotopic composition during the 2000 eruption of the Miyakejima Volcano was examined in order to monitor the temporal change of the volcanic activity. The δ³⁴S values of water-soluble sulphate leached from volcanic ash effused during intermittent eruptions from July to September 2005 range from +5 to +11‰ with a fluctuation of ca 3‰ within a single eruption. The δ³⁴S value of sulphuric acid mist collected with 'Cu-metal trap' placed on the flank of the volcano from December 2000 to January 2001 is +6.2‰. These sulphur isotopic compositions of sulphate, which were isotopically equilibrated in the subvolcanic hydrothermal system, indicate that the temperature of the hydrothermal system beneath the caldera increased after the period of intermittent phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions. Then, the δ³⁴S value of sulphuric acid trapped from January to March 2001 was +9.0‰ and the δ³⁴S value of water-soluble sulphate on volcanic ash emitted with minor eruption in May 2001 was +11.0‰, suggesting a decrease in temperature of the subvolcanic hydrothermal system.  相似文献
