Although accurately evaluating photosynthetically active radiation is important, much effort is required to measure this radiation using a quantum sensor. We develop a new model that makes estimates using only general meteorological data—solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity. Root mean square deviations for eight datasets at five sites in Japan were smaller than 5.2 %, similar to error in other studies and to individual differences of quantum sensors. Most root mean square deviations of nine previous models and our eight datasets are larger than that of the new estimation model, which performed well. This suggests that the model is useful for estimating photosynthetically active radiation in a temperate, humid area of Japan.  相似文献   

Metabolism and chemical composition of marine pelagic gastropod molluscs: a synthesis     

Tsutomu Ikeda 《Journal of Oceanography》2014,70(3):289-305

Metabolism (respiration and ammonia excretion rates) and chemical composition data [water content, ash, carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and C:N ratios] of a total of between 6–32 species of pteropods (thecosomes and gymnosomes) and heteropods from ≤500 m depth of the world’s oceans were compiled. Among the independent variables designated (body mass, habitat temperature, sampling depth, taxon), body mass and habitat temperature were significant predictors of metabolism, attributing to 85 % of the variance in respiration rates and 69 % of the variance in ammonia excretion rates. Atomic O:N ratios (respiration:ammonia excretion) ranged from 7.0 to 100 (median 14.5), and no appreciable effects of the variables were detected. A significant negative correlation of C and N compositions and habitat temperature was seen only in the thecosomes. As judged by the concomitant increase in C:N ratios with increasing habitat temperature, a greater deposition of inorganic C (as CaCO₃–C) in the shell of the warmer-living species was suggested. Compared with other zooplankton (copepods, chaetognaths, and euphausiids), the thecosomes were characterized by higher respiration rates per unit body N and larger ash content by having possession of calcareous shells. Because of the shells, C and N composition expressed as % of dry mass of the thecosomes were lower than those of the other zooplankton taxa.  相似文献

Coupling modes of hydromagnetic oscillations in non-uniform, finite pressure plasmas: Two-fluids model     

Tsutomu Tamao 《Planetary and Space Science》1978,26(12):1141-1148

Within a framework of the two-fluids approximation, basic modes constituting hydromagnetic coupling oscillations in non-uniform, finite-β plasmas are examined. It is shown that the oscillations consist of a coupling between a localized mode and a propagating one, and a strong peak appears at a resonance point. In the case of isothermal plasma (T_e = T_i), there are two localized modes, the Alfvén (or drift Alfvén) and the ion drift modes, and a propagating mode being known as the fast magnetosonic wave. Coupling oscillations associated with the Alfvén mode exhibit a nearly incompressible character, whereas those with the ion drift mode are compressional and diamagnetic. Furthermore, the slow magnetosonic wave also couples with the localized mode in the case of T_e > T_i. Based on characteristics of these oscillations, the origin of geomagnetic pulsations is discussed in connection with the distribution of plasma parameters in the outer magnetosphere.  相似文献   

Thermal properties of the solar wind plasma     

Tsutomu Toichi 《Solar physics》1971,18(1):150-164

In the solar wind, electrostatic ion cyclotron waves can be excited by electrons when the flow velocity becomes supersonic. The waves reduce the proton temperature anisotropy and heat the protons effectively. Temperature equations for T _e ,T _p and T _p are solved numerically in the region from 1 AU to the Sun, with the non-thermal proton heating rate included as a parameter. Distributions of T _e ,T _p , T _p and the proton heating rate are determined and found to be in good agreement with the proton heating rate expected from the linear growth rate of electrostatic ion cyclotron waves. The electron thermal conductivity is reduced approximately 2–3 times smaller than the usual collisional one due to the plasma wave instabilities. Effective energy exchange rates from proton-proton and electron-proton interactions are 1–10 and 10–100 times larger than the Coulomb collision rates v ppand v ep,respectively.  相似文献   

Interaction of energetic particles with HM-waves in the magnetosphere     

Tsutomu Tamao 《Planetary and Space Science》1984,32(11):1371-1386

Energetic particle response in electromagnetic fields of ULF HM-waves in the magnetosphere is reviewed. Pc4–5 geomagnetic pulsations observed at the synchronous altitude are classified into three types, in respect to their major magnetic field polarization in different directions, local time dependence, and different characteristics of accompanied flux modulations of energetic particles, i.e., two nearly transverse waves with the azimuthal and the radial polarization, and the compressional stormtime pulsations. Firstly, we formulate the drift kinetic theory of particle flux modulations under the constraint of the magnetic moment conservation. A generalized energy integral of the particle motion interacting with a ULF-wave with the three-dimensional structure propagating to the azimuthal direction is obtained in the L-shell coordinate of a mirror magnetic field. Its linearized form is reduced to the same form as the previously derived energy change, including the bounce-drift resonant interaction. It is shown that the perturbed guiding center distribution function of energetic particles consists of four contributions, the adiabatic mirror effect corresponding to pitch-angle change, the kinetic effects due to energy change and the accompanying L-shell displacement, and the bounceaveraged drift phase bunching. Secondly, the basic HM-wave modes constitutingcoupling ULF oscillations in non-uniform plasmas are discussed in different models of approach for different plasma states. The diamagnetic drift Alfvén wave and the compressional drift wave with a larger azimuthal mode number in a high-beta plasma are candidates for the stormtimes pulsations. The former is intrinsically a guided localized mode, while the latter is a non-localized mode. By making use of the above preparation, we apply the developed drift kinetic theory to interpret the phase relationships between the ion flux modulation and the geomagnetic pulsation in some selected examples of observations, demonstrating a fair agreement in theoretical results with the observations.  相似文献

Metabolism and chemical composition of zooplankton from 500 to 5,000?m depth of the western subarctic Pacific Ocean     

Tsutomu Ikeda 《Journal of Oceanography》2012,68(5):641-649

Respiration (=oxygen consumption) rates of 28 zooplankton species belonging to 10 taxa from 500 to 5,000?m depth of the western subarctic Pacific Ocean were determined as 0.027–0.44?μLO₂ mg dry mass^?1 h^?1 at in situ temperatures (1.5–3?°C), which are 80?% lower than the rates of the epipelagic Antarctic zooplankton with similar body mass and at a comparable temperature. In terms of adjusted metabolic rate to 1?mg body N (AMR; μLO₂?mg?N^?0.8?h^?1) at 1?°C, the present results (mean 1.66) fall well within the range (0.84–3.32) reported for copepods, chaetognaths, and mixed crustaceans from 500 to 7,000?m in the subarctic Pacific Ocean and Antarctic waters. Judging from their body C:N elemental ratios and ash-free dry mass (=organic matter) data, the major component of organic matter is deduced to be protein (C:N?=?3.4–8.1, by mass) for 19 out of 28 species and lipids (C:N?=?8.6–13.0) for the remaining 9 species.  相似文献
