High-resolution multibeam swath-bathymetry and sediment samples were collected across the outer shelf region of the Columbretes Islands (southern Ebro continental shelf, western Mediterranean Sea). Bathymetric data from the submerged part of the Columbretes volcanic system revealed the presence of three main relict sand bodies along the outer shelf, at 80–116 m depth range, above which asymmetric and slightly asymmetric large and very large 2D and 3D subaqueous dunes were observed. These bed features were recognized, mapped and quantified with the aim of evaluating their potential formation mechanisms in relation to the local hydrodynamic and morphologic settings of the area. Dunes range from 150 to 760 m in wavelength and from tens of centimeters to 3 m in height, and are among the longest ever recognized in an outer shelf region. These bedforms are mostly composed of medium-sized sandy sediments, presumably coming from the degraded relict sand bodies on top of which they have developed, mixed with fine fractions from the recent draping holocenic sediments. The orientation of the dunes is SSW, progressively turning W towards the southernmost sector of the area, following the trend of the shelf-edge. Contemporary hydrodynamic measurements at the Ebro continental shelf-edge show that recorded currents are insufficient to form the observed bedforms and that stronger currents are required for sediment mobilization and dune formation. Based on their morphology and orientation, it is proposed that these bedforms are produced by the action of the southward-flowing Liguro-Provençal-Catalan (LPC) geostrophic current. The LPC probably reaches high near-bottom currents during energetic hydrodynamic events through interactions with the seafloor morphology of the study area. Subaqueous dunes are expected to be basically inactive features with respect to present-day processes, although they can be reactivated during high-energy events. The small Δh/λ ratio measured in the dune fields of the Columbretes shelf revealed that the dune heights fall below the values predicted by the Flemming (1988) global equation, as observed in other outer shelf settings also dominated by unidirectional flows. This may suggest a different morphodynamic character of large dunes formed on outer shelves in a micro-tidal regime. 相似文献

The high-mass X-ray binary RX J0146.9+6121, with optical counterpart LS I+61°235 (V831 Cas), is an intriguing system on the outskirts of the open cluster NGC 663. It contains the slowest Be type X-ray pulsar known with a pulse period of around 1400 s and, primarily from the study of variation in the emission line profile of Hα, it is known to have a Be decretion disc with a one-armed density wave period of approximately 1240 d. Here we present the results of an extensive photometric campaign, supplemented with optical spectroscopy, aimed at measuring short time-scale periodicities. We find three significant periodicities in the photometric data at, in order of statistical significance, 0.34, 0.67 and 0.10 d. We give arguments to support the interpretation that the 0.34 and 0.10 d periods could be due to stellar oscillations of the B-type primary star and that the 0.67 d period is the spin period of the Be star with a spin axis inclination of 23+10 −8 degrees. We measured a systemic velocity of −37.0 ± 4.3 km s−1 confirming that LS I+61°235 has a high probability of membership in the young cluster NGC 663 from which the system's age can be estimated as 20–25 Myr. From archival RXTE All Sky Monitor (ASM) data we further find 'super' X-ray outbursts roughly every 450 d. If these super outbursts are caused by the alignment of the compact star with the one-armed decretion disc enhancement, then the orbital period is approximately 330 d. 相似文献

Sensitivity of Gaussian plume model to dispersion specifications 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Summary Variations in computed ground-level pollutant concentrations resulting from different sigma schemes in a Gaussian plume model have been investigated. Deviations from a standard calculation may be as large as orders of magnitude and are mostly associated with Pasquill-Gifford-Turner classes pertaining to active diffusion (classes A through D) in the rural case and to poor diffusion (classes E and F) in the urban one. The implications of these results as regards impact assessment studies are briefly discussed.With 6 Figures 相似文献

The short-lived thorium isotope 234Th (half-life 24.1 days) has been used as a tracer for a variety of transport processes in aquatic systems. Its use as a tracer of oceanic export via sinking particles has stimulated a rapidly increasing number of studies that require analyses of 234Th in both marine and freshwater systems. The original 234Th method is labor intensive. Thus, there has been a quest for simpler techniques that require smaller sample volumes. Here, we review current methodologies in the collection and analysis of 234Th from the water column, discuss their individual strengths and weaknesses, and provide an outlook on possible further improvements and future challenges. Also included in this review are recommendations on calibration procedures and the production of standard reference materials as well as a flow chart designed to help researchers find the most appropriate 234Th analytical technique for a specific aquatic regime and known sampling constraints. 相似文献

The functioning of karst systems in the Tlemcen Mountains, Algeria, was studied using environmental isotopic and chemical parameters. The weakly enriched values of 18O suggest a fast infiltration of water through the karst systems. The deuterium (2H) excess in groundwater and tritium (3H) in precipitation show that the region is subjected to Mediterranean and Atlantic influences with a predominance of the former. The isotopic gradient, in combination with topographic and geologic criteria, allows the recharge areas of the main karst systems to be estimated. The results of 13C, 14C and 3H analysis show that the majority of present waters come from perched systems and mixture waters influenced by three clusters (“ante-thermonuclear” waters, “thermonuclear” waters, and present waters) that generally emerge from semi-confined systems. The oldest waters are relatively rare and are stored in deeply confined systems. These results are consistent with the hydrochemical and the hydrogeological findings. The results have important implications in groundwater protection. 相似文献

Trace and rare earth element contents were determined by SIMS technique in clinopyroxene and mica crystals from minette lamprophyric enclaves in a potassic syenite host. This co-mingled system was crystallized at high pressures, which varied about 3–5 GPa, as indicated by the presence of K-clinopyroxenes and pyrope-rich garnet with measurable amounts of K2O and Na2O, among the near-liquidus phases. Major and trace element composition of these lamprophyric enclaves is quite similar to those observed in silica-rich lamproites, suggesting that similar sources were involved in their origin. In a general view, the concentrations of most trace and rare earth elements in clinopyroxene of the studied enclaves are higher than those referred to by other authors. Clinopyroxene/melt partition coefficient for most trace elements are close to determinations in alkali-basalts and lamproites from Leucite Hills, with considerable differences relative to Gaussberg lamproites. Furthermore, these partition data are completely different from those determined for potassic lavas crystallized under crustal pressures. Spidergrams for clinopyroxenes exhibit negative-Sr anomalies relative to LREE, which have been associated by most authors to crystallization under low-pressures, out of garnet stability field. The presence of pyrope together with K-clinopyroxene excludes such hypotheses for the studied enclaves. Y and HREE are concentrated in clinopyroxene, whilst the other trace elements have Kd<1. LIL elements, except Rb, have incompatible (Kd<1) behavior in phlogopite. The high partition coefficient for Nb (Kd>3) determined in the studied phlogopite is unusual in lamproites, lamprophyres, and basalts, but frequently observed in phlogopite from metasomatic mantle samples, as well as in acid magmas. This partition value may indicate the lack of other mineral phase with high partition for this element during crystallization, and may be enhanced by the liquid composition progressively closer to alkali feldspar, an unsuitable structure for six-coordinated cations. Ce/Yb, Rb/Sr, and Zr/Hf ratios in clinopyroxene and mica suggest that the minettic magma could produce the host Piquiri potassic syenite by fractional crystallization. This hypothesis is not consistent with Ba concentrations in clinopyroxene and mica, which suggest that a Ba-bearing phase (e.g. alkali feldspar) should be among the fractionated phases in order to produce the potassic syenites. 相似文献
