Photochemical,advective and turbulent effects on the meridional distribution of ozone     

Dr. Reiner Gebhart 《Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics》1968,17(4):301-335

Summary A time-dependent study of the formation, distribution and destruction of atmospheric ozone is made for a meridional plane between 15 km and 45 km under the assumption of zonal symmetry. Included are time-effects of photochemistry, advection and turbulence, using presently available information on theoretical and observational data. The attempt is made to investigate the important part played by pure photochemistry, by the various transport processes and by the combination of both.In the photochemical calculations the equations of a pure oxygen photochemistry and solar ultraviolet energy data obtained from recent rocket observations are used.Murgatroyd andSingleton's results of a possible meridional circulation andPrabhakara's pattern of large-scale eddy diffusion, derived from the spread of radioactive tungsten in the stratosphere, are assumed to be the basic transport meachanisms.Several combinations of these non-photochemical processes are tested in the model and compared with recent observations.The relatively largest seasonal variations of the O₃-concentration take place in the upper stratosphere with a maximum concentration in the high-latitude winter-hemisphere. In the midstratosphere the maximum concentration appears over the equatorial latitudes following the sun's position. In the lower stratosphere the highest O₃-concentrations are over the polar latitudes throughout the year.The seasonal variation of the total ozone at middle and high latitudes can be explained by photochemical effects, the increase of total ozone with increasing latitude by the combined effects of photochemistry and transport processes only. With an advective transport of 70% ofMurgatroyd andSingleton's circulation we have reasonably well reproduced an observed spring distribution of O₃ in the northern hemisphere.

Zusammenfassung Die Bildung, Ausbreitung und Zerstörung des atmosphärischen Ozons wird in einem meridionalen Profil zwischen 15 km und 45 km unter der Annahme zonaler Symmetrie als nichtstationäres Problem untersucht. Die Einflüsse der Photochemie, der Advektion und der Turbulenz werden als Funktionen der Zeit behandelt. Es wird versucht, die Bedeutung der photochemischen Einflüsse, der verschiedenen Transportprozesse sowie der Kombination beider in einem numerischen Modell zu studieren; gegenwärtig verfügbare theoretische und experimentelle Daten finden Verwendung.In den photochemischen Berechnungen werden die Gleichungen der reinen Sauerstoff-Photochemie und mit Raketen ermittelte Daten der verfügbaren Sonnenenergie verwendet.Murgatroyds undSinlgetons Ergebnisse einer möglichen meridionalen Zirkulation und die vonPrabhakara benützten Werte der großräumigen Turbulenz, die aus der Verbreitung des radioaktiven Wolframs abgeleitet worden sind, werden als Transportmechanismen betrachtet. Verschiedene Kombinationen dieser Transportgrößen werden im Modell getestet und mit neueren Beobachtungen verglichen.Die relativ größten jahreszeitlichen Schwankungen der Ozonkonzentration treten in der oberen Stratosphäre auf mit einer maximalen Konzentration in der Winterhemisphäre hoher Breiten. In der mittleren Stratosphäre befindet sich das Maximum über den äquatorialen Breiten. In der unteren Stratosphäre findet man die höchsten Ozonkonzentrationen während des ganzen Jahres über den polaren Breiten.Der Jahresgang des Gesamtgehaltes an Ozon über mittleren und hohen Breiten kann durch photochemische Einflüsse erklärt werden, die Zunahme des Gesamtozons mit zunehmender Breite nur durch ein Zusammenwirken von photochemischen und Transport-Prozessen. Mit 70% der Advektion vonMurgatroyd undSingleton haben wir eine beobachtete Frühjahrsverteilung des Ozons in der nördlichen Hemisphäre mit guter Annäherung reproduziert.

Résumé On examine ici la formation, la propagation et la destruction de l'ozone atmosphérique dans un profil méridien entre 15 et 45 km d'altitude. Pour cela, on admet une symétrie zonale et qui'il s'agit d'un problème non stationnaire. On considére les influences de la photochimie, de l'advection et de la turbulence en fonction du temps. On essaie d'étudier au moyen d'un modèle numérique l'importance des influences de la seule photochimie, des différents processus de transport ainsi que la combinaison des deux phénomènes. Dans ce but, on utilise les valeurs théoriques et expérimentales disponibles actuellement.Dans le calcul photochimique, on utilise aussi bien les équations de la photochimie pure de l'oxygène que des valeurs de l'énergie solaire disponible, obtenues au moyen de mesures effectuées avec des fusées. Comme mécanismes de transport, on prend en considération les résultats des études deMurgatroyd etSingleton sur une circulation méridionale possible ainsi que les valeurs de la turbulence des grands espaces utilisées parPrabhakara. Ces dernières découlent de la dissémination du wolfram radioactif. On fait figurer dans le modèle diverses combinaisons de ces grandeurs de transport et on compare les résultats ainsi obtenus aux observations les plus récentes.Les variations saisonnières relativement les plus importantes de la concentration d'ozone se rencontrent dans la stratosphère supérieure. La concentration maximale se situe dans les hautes latitudes de l'hémisphère hivernal. Dans la stratosphère moyenne, le maximum se rencontre au voisinage de l'équateur. Dans la basse stratosphère, on note les plus fortes concentrations d'ozone au voisinage des pôles et cela durant toute l'année.On peut expliquer par des influences photochimiques les fluctuations annuelles de la teneur globale en ozone dans les latitudes moyennes et élevées. L'augmentation de la teneur totale de l'ozone avec la latitude ne s'explique que par les effets conjugués des processus photochimiques et de transport. On a assez bien pu reproduire une répartition de l'ozone observée au printemps sur l'hémisphère nord en utilisant le 70% de l'advection calculée selonMurgatroyd etSingleton.

Sustaining productive ecosystems in face of risk     

Reiner Schwarz 《GeoJournal》2004,59(3):219-225

Ecosystems lacking human induced energy input from outside are in danger to degrade if man requires any sustainable yield. The risk of failure strongly depends on the amount of exploitation. This is shown by a simple one dimensional analytical feed-back model. Natural fluctuations determine the degradation probability of productive ecosystems. The stability behaviour of the latter is demonstrated by an analytical model in the two dimensional phase space. Full quantitative evaluation of the risk needs simulation experiments. One is carried out in the thorn shrub savannah rangelands at a site in Namibia where a fully calibrated simulation model shows that the less a sustainable yield is required, the more the breakdown is delayed. In this case of highly fluctuating rainfall any sustainability sensu strictu does not exist. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Authigenic carbonates in sediments from the Gulf of Mexico     

Reiner Botz  Eckhard Faber  Michael J. Whiticar  James M. Brooks 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1988,88(3-4)

The carbon isotopic composition of diagenetic dolomite and calcite in some sediments of the Gulf of Mexico varies between “normal-marine” (δ¹³C ca. 0‰) and −14.6‰ which suggests that biogenic CO₂ contributed to the carbonate formation. The δ¹³O values of dolomite and coexisting calcite are very similar but variable down-core.Dolomite and calcite precipitated early from pore water where SO₄²⁻ was not reduced. However, during (and after?) SO₄²⁻ reduction dolomite and calcite still formed and there are at least two generations of carbonate minerals present.  相似文献   

Reaction textures and fluid behaviour in very high pressure calc-silicate rocks of the Münchberg gneiss complex, Bavaria, Germany   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

R. KLEMD  S. MATTHES  U. SCHÜSSLER 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1994,12(6):735-745

Calc-silicate rocks occur as elliptical bands and boudins intimately interlayered with eclogites and high-pressure gneisses in the Münchberg gneiss complex of NE Bavaria. Core assemblages of the boudins consist of grossular-rich garnet, diopside, quartz, zoisite, clinozoisite, calcite, rutile and titanite. The polygonal granoblastic texture commonly displays mineral relics and reaction textures such as post kinematic grossular-rich garnet coronas. Reactions between these mineral phases have been modelled in the CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂-CO₂-H₂O system with an internally consistent thermodynamic data base. High-pressure metamorphism in the calc-silicate rocks has been estimated at a minimum pressure of 31 kbar at a temperature of 630d? C with X_H2, O ≥ 0.03. Small volumes of a CO₂-N₂-rich fluid whose composition was buffered on a local scale were present at peak-metamorphic conditions. The P-T conditions for the onset of the amphibolite facies overprint are about 10 kbar at the same temperature. X_Co2 of the H₂O-rich fluid phase is regarded to have been <0.03 during amphibolite facies conditions. These P-T estimates are interpreted as representing different stages of recrystallization during isothermal decompression. The presence of multiple generations of mineral phases and the preservation of very high-pressure relics in single thin sections preclude pervasive post-peak metamorphic fluid flow as a cause of a re-equilibration within the calc-silicates. The preservation of eclogite facies, very high-pressure relics as well as amphibolite facies reactions textures in the presence of a fluid phase is in agreement with fast, tectonically driven unroofing of these rocks.  相似文献

A comparative study on the temperature dependence of embryogenesis in three coregonids (Coregonus spp.) from Lake Constance     

Dr. Reiner Eckmann 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1987,49(3):353-362

Embroygenesis of the three coregonid forms Blaufelchen, Gangfisch, and Sandfelchen from Lake Constance was observed at five different constant temperatures in a static incubation system. The relationship between temperature and the time to reach 14 developmental stages from fertilization to hatching was established for the three forms. Relative to the total incubation time, pectoral fin flutter and eye movement start earliest in Gangfisch and latest in Blaufelchen. This might allow Gangfisch to tolerate lower oxygen concentrations during the last phase of embryogenesis than Blaufelchen. Developmental rates per day as a function of temperature can be calculated by a power function. A model is presented which permits to predict the time of mass hatching for embryos which are incubated at fluctuating temperatures. The total incubation times for the three coregonids of Lake Constance are short as compared to those of other coregonids. This is interpreted as an adaptation to the specific thermal environment of each coregonid stock which helps to ensure larval survival in the respective habitat.  相似文献   

Host rock compositional controls on zircon trace element signatures in metabasites from the Austroalpine basement   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

Bernhard Schulz  Reiner Klemd 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(3):697-710

Zircon populations of Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic age occur in metabasites of a high-pressure amphibolite-facies unit of the Austroalpine basement south of the Tauern Window. The host rocks for these zircons are eclogitic amphibolites of N-MORB-type character, hornblende gneisses with volcanic-arc basalt signature, and alkaline within-plate-basalt amphibolites. Bulk rock magmatic trace element patterns were preserved during amphibolite-facies high-pressure and subsequent high-temperature events, as well as a greenschist-facies overprint. Positive Ce and negative Eu anomalies and enrichment of HREE in normalized zircon REE patterns, as analysed by LA-ICP-MS, are typical for an igneous origin of these zircon suites. Zircon Y is well correlated to HREE, Ce, Th, U, Nb, and Ta and allows discrimination of compositional fields for each host rock type. Low Th/U ratios are correlated to low Y and HREE abundances in zircon from low bulk Th/U host rocks. This is likely a primary igneous characteristic that cannot be attributed to metamorphic recrystallization. Variations of zircon/host rock element ratios confirm that ionic radii and charges control abundances of many trace elements in zircon. The trace element ratios—presented as mineral/melt distribution coefficients—indicate a selectively inhibited substitution of Zr and Si by HREE and Y in zircon which crystallized from a N-MORB melt. Correlated host rock and zircon trace element concentrations indicate that the metabasite zircons are not xenocrysts but crystallized from mafic melts, represented by the actual host rocks.  相似文献   

俯冲洋岛玄武岩脱水释放的水流体成分：来自西天山榴辉岩相高压脉的约束

俯冲洋壳的脱水作用对于岛弧火山岩的成因具有重要意义。西天山高压低温变质带中切割主岩蓝片岩/榴辉岩的榴辉岩相脉体记录了古生代俯冲带中的脱水过程。脉体具有典型高压矿物组合：石榴石(＞8%)+绿辉石(15%)+石英(＞55%)+蓝闪石(5%)+冻蓝闪石(10%)±黝帘石±方解石。高压脉及其主岩的岩相学与矿物化学研究表明流体是在俯冲过程中蓝片岩向榴辉岩进变质条件下释放。脉的主量元素成分显示流体富Si。主岩的稀土元素和微量元素表明其原岩为洋岛玄武岩(OIB)。脉和主岩具有相似的微量元素配分模式,并且相对N-MORB都显示富Li、Be、Cs、Rb、Ba、Pb、La的特点。通过模拟计算,在高压脉、与脉平衡的流体以及模拟的原生流体中都富集流体活动性元素(Li、Be、Pb)和LILE(Cs、Rb、Ba),贫HFSE(Nb)和REE(Nd、Sm)。证实了在古生代南天山洋俯冲时洋岛玄武岩脱水释放出富Li、Be、LILE、La和Pb,贫HFSE和HREE的流体。  相似文献
