Closed, isolated small systems, as the representatives of a “unique-environmental feature”, are valuable natural laboratories for studying different biogeochemical processes. The saline Rogoznica Lake (“Dragon Eye”), situated on the Eastern Adriatic coast is such a system (10 276 m2, 15 m deep) typical of many stratified, sulfide rich water bodies. The depth of mixolimnion changes seasonally and it is greatly influenced by meteorological conditions, i.e. temperature and rainfall. Vertical mixing usually occurs during winter when cold, oxygen-rich water from the surface sinks downwards. 相似文献
We analyzed oceanographic, hydrologic and atmospheric conditions in the northern Adriatic (section between the Po River delta and Rovinj) from 1990 to 2004 in which extreme phytoplankton blooms appeared. The largest blooms occurred in February, March, July and October, and were higher in surface layers and in the western, more eutrophic part of the region. They often appeared when the Istrian Coastal Countercurrent (ICCC; strong southward current indicating a “closure” of the northern Adriatic circulation system) was pronounced. They seem to be related to the intensities of surface fluxes and Po River discharge rates. The blooms can float over the northern Adriatic for a long period (up to 30 days; typical for March) and can appear simultaneously in separate circulation systems with a different species distribution. Finally, we present a hypothesis based on comparisons of geostrophic currents and fish stock that specific February northern Adriatic oceanographic conditions play the key role in the Adriatic anchovy stock. 相似文献
This numerical work aims to better understand the behavior of extreme Adriatic Sea wave storms under projected climate change. In this spirit, 36 characteristic events—22 bora and 14 sirocco storms occurring between 1979 and 2019, were selected and ran in evaluation mode in order to estimate the skill of the kilometer-scale Adriatic Sea and Coast (AdriSC) modelling suite used in this study and to provide baseline conditions for the climate change impact. The pseudo-global warming (PGW) methodology—which imposes an additional climatological change to the forcing used in the evaluation simulations, was implemented, for the very first time, for a coupled ocean–wave–atmosphere model and used to assess the behavior of the selected storms under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 greenhouse gas projections. The findings of this experiment are that, on the one hand, the AdriSC model is found capable of reproducing both the Adriatic waves associated with the 36 storms and the northern Adriatic surges occurring during the sirocco events and, on the other hand, the significant wave heights and peak periods are likely to decrease during all future extreme events but most particularly during bora storms. The northern Adriatic storm surges are in consequence also likely to decrease during sirocco events. As it was previously demonstrated that the Adriatic extreme wind-wave events are likely to be less intense in a future warmer climate, this study also proved the validity of applying the PGW methodology to coupled ocean–wave–atmosphere models at the coastal and nearshore scales.
Starting from the standpoint that there are seasonal differences of climate variations on both global and local level, the authors of this paper had focused on analyzing climatologic parameters in winter months. The trends of several important parameters were detected, with temperature and precipitation having increasing, but number of ice days and snow cover having decreasing trends. Spectral analysis showed repetitive nature of climatologic parameters, some of them having the same or similar periods of about 6 to 7 years, 10 to 12 or 17.5 years, and 22 to 24 years. The precipitation has periodicity of 8 and 14 years. Further analysis of the underlying structure of the data by principal component analysis detected three easily explained dimensions: Temperature-Snow, Precipitation-Cyclone and Spring-in-Winter dimension. The spectral analysis of three virtual variables obtained by principal component analysis confirmed good agreement of original variables with the virtual dimensions. 相似文献
We present a detailed radio-continuum study on Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations of Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) supernova remnant (SNR), MCSNR J0536–7038. This Type Ia SNR follows a horseshoe morphology, with a size 32 pc × 32 pc (1-pc uncertainty in each direction). It exhibits a radio spectrum α=?0.52±0.07 between λ=73 and 6 cm. We report detections of regions showing moderately high fractional polarisation at 6 cm, with a peak value of 71±25 % and a mean fractional polarisation of 35±8 %. We also estimate an average rotation measure across the remnant of –237 rad m?2. The intrinsic magnetic field appears to be uniformly distributed, extending in the direction of the two brightened limbs of the remnant. 相似文献
The predicted Draconid meteor shower outburst during October 2011 had been observed by a portion of the Croatian Meteor Network whose stations encountered clear weather. A total of 95 Draconid orbits have been calculated from 18 contributing stations, and in this paper we present results for 63 orbits obtained from the fully automatic observation and processing pipeline. Two methods of trajectory estimation were applied, showing better fit results using a linearly changing velocity model versus a constant velocity model. The estimated mean radiant position has been found to be at RA = 262.6°, Dec = +55.7°, with estimated geocentric velocity Vg = 20.7 km/s. 相似文献
In this Letter we give a brief sketch of the problem of scientific knowledge as it has been elaborated by Pauli and Jung on a non-physical ground. In addition, we try to find arguments in favour of their opinion in the territory of physics. If these reasons hold indeed, then an incompatibility in space-time-matter relationship can be indicated. 相似文献
Zusammenfassung In Alkalisyeniten des Gipfels Crni Kamen, sw. von Prilep in Mazedonien, kommen hydrothermale Gänge mit schön kristallisierten Mineralen vor. Nebst kurz erwähnten, spärlich vorkommenden Sulfiden werden die Resultate der Untersuchungen des Alkaliamphibols, Mikroklins, Apatits Albits, Sphens, Quarzes und Hyalits gegeben. In diesem Gebiet wurden auch Davidit, Brannerit, Ilmenit und Magnetit gefunden. Selten findet sich regelmäßige Verwachsung des Ilmenits mit Rutil.
Summary In alkali syenites on the hill Crni Kamen, sw. from Prilep in Macedonia hydrothermal veins appear with well crystallized minerals. In addition to the briefly described scarcely appeared sulfides the results of the investigations of alkaliamphibole, microcline, apatite, albite, sphene, quartz and hyalite are reported. In this area were also recorded davidite, brannerite, ilmenite and magnetite. Oriented growth of ilmenite with rutile has been rarely found.
