臭氧和平流层动力学的相互作用   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jonathan S.Kinnersley  朱乾根  孙照渤  何金海 《南京气象学院学报》1993,(1)

讨论了给定的南极春季臭氧洞(取自1979—1985年臭氧减少的观测结果)对二维平流层—对流层模式中温度和环流的影响。11月份,南极上空约17km处,温度最多可降低6℃。这种温度变化引起的平均经向环流对臭氧洞起填塞作用,不过,这种影响很小,每年仅产生14DU的变化。观测事实表明,近年来10月份,南半球波活动减弱。为此,我们作了南半球波作用全年都减少一半,并考虑了臭氧洞的数值试验。结果表明,臭氧柱在11月份76°S减少了44DU,在赤道却增加了12DU。  相似文献

Palynological studies on manganese ore layers in Úrkút (Transdanubia), Hungary     

Mikls Kedves 《Ore Geology Reviews》1990,5(5-6)

Samples of manganese carbonate and oxide layers from the Úrkút ore deposit were investigated for organic remains, especially for spores and pollen grains. Light (LM), Transmission Electron (TEM), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) methods were used. LM revealed several new sporomorph taxa; a microstratigraphic standard was established by reconstructing vegetation zones surrounding the sedimentary basin. Index fossils of palynomorphs and the relative abundance of other taxa support a Liassic (Lower Jurassic) age for these layers. TEM data were used to establish: (1) important new understanding about the phylogeny of the pollen-exine ultrastructure and, in particular, the tectate columellar ectexine of the Mesozoic gymnospermous pollen grain, Spheripollenites; and (2) the degree of destruction of the exine ultrastructure helps to reconstruct taphonomical processes during sedimentation and to unravel biopolymer-type molecular structures in the walls of palynomorphs. The SEM method aided in the taxonomy of the microfossils. Combined TEM and SEM methods revealed that submicroscopic surface degradation may be a consequence of bio-degradation during deposition of manganese ore.  相似文献   

Petroleum isoprenoid hydrocarbons derived from catagenetic degradation of archaebacterial lipids     

J. Albaigés  J. Borbón  W. Walker 《Organic Geochemistry》1985,8(4):293-297

The three GC coeluting C₄₀ bis-phytanes with head-to-tail, tail-to-tail and head-to-head linkages considered to be archaebacterial markers, have been recognized in petroleum by enhanced mass-fragmentography. Supporting evidence has been obtained by the simultaneous occurrence of two C₂₁–C₂₄ series of isoprenoid and quasi-isoprenoid hydrocarbons that are supposedly formed during the catagenetic degradation of the isomeric C₄₀ isoprenoids. The C₂₁–C₂₄ quasi-isoprenoid hydrocarbons have been identified conclusively for the first time by comparison with authentic standards.  相似文献   

Sites occupancy of Fe3+ in Garfield Nontronite: A spectroscopic study     

Dominique Bonnin  Georges Calas  Hélène Suquet  Henri Pezerat 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1985,12(1):55-64

New data on the structure of Garfield nontronite have been produced by the use of different spectroscopic techniques: Mössbauer spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy, X-ray absorption edges and EXAFS and NMR. The tetrahedral iron content is found to be no higher than 1 percent. All iron atoms belong to the octahedral sheet excluding the possibility of the presence of non crystallized phases. Some ambiguities remain about the coherence of the octahedral sheet because of the presence of two doublets in the Mössbauer spectrum and at least two lineshapes in NMR spectra of OH which correspond to different environments.  相似文献

Statistical analysis of isotopic ratios in MORB: the mantle blob cluster model and the convective regime of the mantle     

Claude J. Allègre  Bruno Hamelin  Bernard Dupré 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1984,71(1):71-84

A statistical examination of isotopic distributions for MORB from various ocean ridges leads to the “blob cluster model”, in which the oceanic crust accreting at ridges results from the mixing of two components within the ascending mantle. These are (1) upper mantle material and (2) discrete rising blobs of more radiogenic material. The blobs are fractionated to a variable degree and are distributed in the upper mantle circulation in a manner that is related to the spreading rate.(1) Themean values of the isotopic distributions allow us to calculate the probabilities of the two types of material within the mantle. The results show that theproportion of asthenospheric material in the mixtureincreases with the spreading rate, in agreement with the hypothesis of blob dilution within the upper mantle convection.Mass fluxes can be estimated for the rising blobs from these probabilities, which depend on the respective concentrations in the sources of the two types of material. If the blobs originate in the lower mantle, this flux estimation would suggest that a significant part of the lower mantle has been injected into the upper mantle during earth history.(2) Thestandard deviations of the distributions depend on the “efficiency” of the mixing process:the more imbricated are the asthenospheric and blob materials in the mixture,the smaller is theisotopic spread. This efficiency parameter is shown to increase with the spreading rate, as already suggested by previous comparisons between the East Pacific Rise and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Moreover, this feature may also be correlated with other data such as ridge bathymetric variations.  相似文献   

Mode of occurrence of Cu and Zn in till over three mineralized areas in Finland     

Maria Nikkarinen  Eeva Kallio  Pekka Lestinen  Matti Ayrs 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》1984,21(1-3)

The variation of Cu and Zn contents with grain size was studied in the size fractions: 2000-500 μm, 500-64 μm, 64-2 μm and minus 2 μm. The fixation to different minerals was investigated in the 500-64 μm and minus 64 μm fractions with microscope, microprobe, electron microscope and X-ray diffraction after heavy-liquid separation.The distribution of Cu and Zn between the four size fractions is very similar in all target areas. The contents tend to be highest in the minus 2 μm fraction, and to decrease with increasing grain size except for an increase in the coarsest material. This feature is typical in mineralized areas with till having anomalously high Cu and Zn contents.The anomalous Cu and Zn in the till of Talvivaara are mainly fixed to chalcopyrite and sphalerite, respectively, which indicates that the main part of the material originates from fresh bedrock and that postglacial alterations are slight. In the till of Outokumpu and Maaselkä sulphides are rare. We assume that in Outokumpu the reason for this is the postglacial weathering of sulphides and that in Maaselkä a great deal of till derives from highly weathered, sulphide-poor, preglacial regolith. In both target areas Cu in till seems to fix to limonite and also to clay minerals, particularly in Maaselkä. Zinc seems mainly to be hosted by limonite in Outokumpu.  相似文献   

The geological significance of the western termination of the Mérens Fault at Port Vell (central Pyrenees)     

J. Carreras  J. Cirs 《Tectonophysics》1986,129(1-4)

A detailed local structural map of the Mérens Fault zone at Port Vell (Vall Ferrera) reveals that the main fault-related mylonite band splits westwards into a network of mylonite zones. These consist of bands of highly-strained rocks exhibiting tightened folds, transposed foliations and extensive obliteration of pre-existing structures. Evidence of continuity of marble layers across the Port Vell mylonite zone, and structural and metamorphic similarities on both sides of the Port Vell mylonite band, indicate that there is no significant throw across it.The mylonite foliation forms parallel to the axial planes of tight folds in or near the mylonite zone which can be related to more open folds in adjacent areas. The Port Vell mylonite band corresponds to a pinched W-E axial trending late fold.In order to estimate the importance of these results, a review of the controversial geological significance of mylonite belts in the Pyrenees, with special emphasis on the Mérens Fault, introduces the paper.  相似文献
