This excursion guide results form a field trip to the Glarus nappe complex organized by the Swiss Tectonic Studies Group in 2006. The aim of the excursion was to discuss old and recent concepts related to the evolution of the Glarus thrust. The major aspects were (i) the interplay between deformation, fluid flow and geochemical alteration, (ii) episodic versus continuous deformation and fluid flow, and (iii) the link between large-scale structures, microstructures, and geochemical aspects. Despite 150 years of research in the Glarus nappe complex and the new results discussed during the excursion, there exist controversies that still are unsolved.  相似文献

A New Tethered Balloon-Borne Payload for Fine-Scale Observations in the Cloudy Boundary Layer     

Holger Siebert  Manfred Wendisch  Thomas Conrath  Ulrich Teichmann  Jost Heintzenberg 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2003,106(3):461-482

A new scientific payload is introduced for fine-scale measurements of meteorological (wind vector, static air temperature, humidity, and air pressure) and microphysical (aerosol particles and cloud droplets) properties, suspended below a tethered balloon. The high resolution sensors and the tethered balloon are described. Measurements in a lifted fog layer from a first field campaign are presented.The detailed investigation of the fog/haze and the temperature inversion layer demonstrates the damping influence of the fog on temperature fluctuations, while thewind fluctuations are significantly decreased by theevolving temperature inversion, whichwas about 30 m above the fog layer.From spectral analysis the noise floors of the high-resolution sensors are determined to10^-6 kg m^-3 for the LWC (liquid water content) and 4 mK for the fast temperature sensor (UFT-B). The correlation betweentemperature and LWC structures in shallow haze layers is investigated. The release of latent heat and the corresponding warming in the haze of about 0.1 K could be quantified.  相似文献   

Impact of clouds on the surface radiation balance of the Arctic Ocean     

J. A. Curry  J. L. Schramm  E. E. Ebert 《Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics》1993,51(3-4):197-217

Summary The relationship between clouds and the surface radiative fluxes over the Arctic Ocean are explored by conducting a series of modelling experiments using a one-dimensional thermodynamic sea ice model. The sensitivity of radiative flux to perturbations in cloud fraction and cloud optical depth are determined. These experiments illustrate the substantial effect that clouds have on the state of the sea ice and on the surface radiative fluxes. The effect of clouds on the net flux of radiation at the surface is very complex over the Arctic Ocean particularly due to the presence of the underlying sea ice. Owing to changes in surface albedo and temperature associated with changing cloud properties, there is a strong non-linearity between cloud properties and surface radiative fluxes. The model results are evaluated in three different contexts: 1) the sensitivity of the arctic surface radiation balance to uncertainties in cloud properties; 2) the impact of interannual variability in cloud characteristics on surface radiation fluxes and sea ice surface characteristics; and 3) the impact of climate change and the resulting changes in cloud properties on the surface radiation fluxes and sea ice characteristics.With 11 Figures  相似文献   

The Cloud Ice Mountain Experiment (CIME) 1998: experiment overview and modelling of the microphysical processes during the seeding by isentropic gas expansion

The second field campaign of the Cloud Ice Mountain Experiment (CIME) project took place in February 1998 on the mountain Puy de Dôme in the centre of France. The content of residual aerosol particles, of H₂O₂ and NH₃ in cloud droplets was evaluated by evaporating the drops larger than 5 μm in a Counterflow Virtual Impactor (CVI) and by measuring the residual particle concentration and the released gas content. The same trace species were studied behind a round jet impactor for the complementary interstitial aerosol particles smaller than 5 μm diameter. In a second step of experiments, the ambient supercooled cloud was converted to a mixed phase cloud by seeding the cloud with ice particles by the gas release from pressurised gas bottles. A comparison between the physical and chemical characteristics of liquid drops and ice particles allows a study of the fate of the trace constituents during the presence of ice crystals in the cloud.In the present paper, an overview is given of the CIME 98 experiment and the instrumentation deployed. The meteorological situation during the experiment was analysed with the help of a cloud scale model. The microphysics processes and the behaviour of the scavenged aerosol particles before and during seeding are analysed with the detailed microphysical model ExMix. The simulation results agreed well with the observations and confirmed the assumption that the Bergeron–Findeisen process was dominating during seeding and was influencing the partitioning of aerosol particles between drops and ice crystals. The results of the CIME 98 experiment give an insight on microphysical changes, redistribution of aerosol particles and cloud chemistry during the Bergeron–Findeisen process when acting also in natural clouds.  相似文献   

Behaviour of H₂O₂, NH₃, and black carbon in mixed-phase clouds during CIME     

Paolo Laj  Andrea I. Flossmann  Wolfram Wobrock  Sandro Fuzzi  Giordano Orsi  Loretta Ricci  Stephan Mertes  Alfons Schwarzenbck  Jost Heintzenberg  Harry Ten Brink 《Atmospheric Research》2001,58(4):256

We investigated the partitioning of trace substances during the phase transition from supercooled to mixed-phase cloud induced by artificial seeding. Simultaneous determination of the concentrations of H₂O₂, NH₃ and black carbon (BC) in both condensed and interstitial phases with high time resolution showed that the three species undergo different behaviour in the presence of a mixture of ice crystals and supercooled droplets. Both H₂O₂ and NH₃ are efficiently scavenged by growing ice crystals, whereas BC stayed predominantly in the interstitial phase. In addition, the scavenging of H₂O₂ is driven by co-condensation with water vapour onto ice crystals while NH₃ uptake into the ice phase is more efficient than co-condensation alone. The high solubility of NH₄⁺ in the ice could explain this result. Finally, it appears that the H₂O₂–SO₂ reaction is very slow in the ice phase with respect to the liquid phase. Our results are directly applicable for clouds undergoing limited riming.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die vulkanischen Gesteine des Rotliegenden des Niedecker Gebietes sind untersucht worden. Die petrographische Untersuchung erlaubt uns, diese Formationen als Ignimbrite zu bezeichnen. Die Anwesenheit eines Minerals der Montmorin-Gruppe, inmitten des Gesteines, ist mit der Ignimbritbildung, die durch die paleomagnetischen Messungen bestätigt wird, vereinbar. Die chemische Entwicklung wird skizziert.  相似文献   

Beitrag zur Gliederung des Präkambriums in Minas Gerais     

Heinz Ebert 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1957,45(3):471-521

Zusammenfassung Aufnahmen im Kristallin südostwärts und südlich der EsphinhaÇo-Zone, ausgedehnt bis an die Südgrenze des Staates Minas Gerais, ergaben eine neue stratigraphische und tektonische Gliederung. Große Gebiete, die bisher als tiefstes Archaikum galten, erhielten ihre metamorphe Überprägung erst in der assyntischen Phase. Auch die vormetamorphe sedimentäre Substanz ist weithin algonkischen, wahrscheinlich neo-algonkischen Alters. Im Inneren besitzen diese Sedimente nur schwache epizonale Metamorphose und erlauben weitgehende stratigraphische Gliederung (Formationen Tiradentes, Carandaí, Barroso, Prados). Sie sind Überwiegend klastisch. Küstenwärts folgen die sedimentär-lithologisch gleichen, aber stärker (mesozonal) metamorphe Andrelandia-Serie und die katazonalen Juiz de Fora- bzw. Paraíba-Serien (Metamorphose charnockitisch bzw. mikroklingranitisch). Die Küstenzone stellt daher eine kristalline Zentralzone dar, von der aus die Bewegungen binnenwärts gerichtet sind. An der Westgrenze des Arbeitsgebietes erfolgt eine Virgation der Faltenzüge in Araxaiden und Paraibiden. Das ordovizische Alter der Füllung des Beckens des Rio SÃo Francisco (Bambuí) ist zu bezweifeln. Die EsphinhaÇo-Zone ist algomisch konsolidiert, die alt-algonkische Minas-Serie auf diese Zone beschränkt. Sie bildet, zusammen mit dem Bambuí-Becken, das Vorland der assyntischen Faltenzüge. Eine Aufgliederung des Archaikums ist begonnen; im bisher untersuchten Gebiet sind die archäischen Strukturen co-axial den jüngeren.  相似文献   

Stable isotope (C,O, S) systematics of the mercury mineralization at Idrija,Slovenia: constraints on fluid source and alteration processes     

Jo?t?V.?Lavri?Email author  Jorge?E.?Spangenberg 《Mineralium Deposita》2003,38(7):886-899

The world-class Idrija mercury deposit (western Slovenia) is hosted by highly deformed Permocarboniferous to Middle Triassic sedimentary rocks within a complex tectonic structure at the transition between the External Dinarides and the Southern Alps. Concordant and discordant mineralization formed concomitant with Middle Triassic bimodal volcanism in an aborted rift. A multiple isotopic (C, O, S) investigation of host rocks and ore minerals was performed to put constraints on the source and composition of the fluid, and the hydrothermal alteration. The distributions of the ¹³C and ¹⁸O values of host and gangue carbonates are indicative of a fracture-controlled hydrothermal system, with locally high fluid-rock ratios. Quantitative modeling of the ¹³C and ¹⁸O covariation for host carbonates during temperature dependent fluid-rock interaction, and concomitant precipitation of void-filling dolomites points to a slightly acidic hydrothermal fluid (¹³C–4 and ¹⁸O+10), which most likely evolved during isotopic exchange with carbonates under low fluid/rock ratios. The ³⁴S values of hydrothermal and sedimentary sulfur minerals were used to re-evaluate the previously proposed magmatic and evaporitic sulfur sources for the mineralization, and to assess the importance of other possible sulfur sources such as the contemporaneous seawater sulfate, sedimentary pyrite, and organic sulfur compounds. The ³⁴S values of the sulfides show a large variation at deposit down to hand-specimen scale. They range for cinnabar and pyrite from –19.1 to +22.8, and from –22.4 to +59.6, respectively, suggesting mixing of sulfur from different sources. The peak of ³⁴S values of cinnabar and pyrite close to 0 is compatible with ore sulfur derived dominantly from a magmatic fluid and/or from hydrothermal leaching of basement rocks. The similar stratigraphic trends of the ³⁴S values of both cinnabar and pyrite suggest a minor contribution of sedimentary sulfur (pyrite and organic sulfur) to the ore formation. Some of the positive ³⁴S values are probably derived from thermochemical reduction of evaporitic and contemporaneous seawater sulfates.Editorial handling: P. Lattanzi  相似文献
