On 11 March 2011, a moment magnitude M w = 9.0 earthquake occurred off the Japan Tohoku coast causing catastrophic damage and loss of human lives. In the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, we conducted the reconnaissance survey in the city of Rikuzentakata, Japan. In comparison with three previous historical tsunamis impacting the same region, the 2011 event presented the largest values with respect to the tsunami height, the inundation area and the inundation distance. A representative tsunami height of 15 m was recorded in Rikuzentakata, with increased heights of 20 m around rocky headlands. In terms of the inundation area, the 2011 Tohoku tsunami exceeded by almost 2.6 times the area flooded by the 1960 Chilean tsunami, which ranks second among the four events compared. The maximum tsunami inundation distance was 8.1 km along the Kesen River, exceeding the 1933 Showa and 1960 Chilean tsunami inundations by factors of 6.2 and 2.7, respectively. The overland tsunami inundation distance was less than 2 km. The tsunami inundation height linearly decreased along the Kesen River at a rate of approximately 1 m/km. Nevertheless, the measured inland tsunami heights exhibit significant variations on local and regional scales. A designated “tsunami control forest” planted with a cross-shore width of about 200 m along a 2 km stretch of Rikuzentakata coastline was completely overrun and failed to protect the local community during this extreme event. Similarly, many designated tsunami shelters were too low and were overwashed by tsunami waves, thereby failing to provide shelter for evacuees—a risk that had been underestimated. 相似文献

We report Os isotope compositions of metal grains in two CBa chondrites (Bencubbin and Gujba) determined using a micromilling sampling coupled with thermal ionization mass spectrometry, together with the abundances of major and trace siderophile elements obtained by electron probe microanalysis and femtosecond laser ablation inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry. The CBa metal grains presented 187Os/188Os ratios akin to carbonaceous chondrites with limited variations (0.1257–0.1270). Most of the CBa metal grains were scattered along a 187Re-187Os reference isochron of IIIAB iron meteorites, indicating that the CBa metals experienced limited Re-Os fractionation at the time of their formation. The Re/Os ratios of sampling spots for the CBa metals, recast from the observed 187Os/188Os ratios, had a positive correlation with their Os/Ir ratios. In addition, the metal grains showed a positive correlation in a Pd/Fe versus Ni/Fe diagram. These correlations suggest that the CBa metal grains have formed via equilibrium condensation or evaporation from a gaseous reservoir at ~10−4 bar with enhanced metal abundances. Compared to the Bencubbin metals, the Gujba metals are characterized by having systematically lower Pd/Fe and Ni/Fe ratios that span subchondritic values. Such a difference was most likely induced by the compositionally heterogeneous impact plume from which the metals were condensed. 相似文献

A steady quasi-geostrophic 2.5-layer model, forced by both Ekman pumping and a mass source/sink situated at the western boundary
has been constructed to investigate the effect of diapycnal transport due to convection in the Okhotsk Sea and tidal mixing
at the Kuril Straits on the intermediate layer in the North Pacific. The model illustrates a combined effect of the wind-driven
and mass-driven circulations. First, net mass input induces a “barotropic” mode inter-gyre flow along the western boundary
through the dynamical influence of Kelvin waves. This flow creates characteristic curves (geostrophic contours) that facilitate
inter-gyre communication through the western boundary layer from the location of the mass source to the subtropical gyre.
Due to the effect of wind-driven circulation, the offshore part turns eastward into the interior, encircles the outer rim
of the region (which would otherwise be the pool region in the absence of mass input), and then encounters the western boundary.
Eventually, the water fed into the lower layer flows mostly along this path and later flows away to the equatorial region.
Conversely, in the upper layer, water is fed from the equator to the subtropics, and to the subpolar interior region through
the western boundary current. The water then circulates along the outer rim and is absorbed into the mass sink. The model
is controlled mainly by three nondimensional parameters: (1) the ratio of net mass input rate to the maximum Sverdrup transport
(Q/T
Sv
max
), which affects the inter-gyre communication by altering the paths of geostrophic contours, (2) the ratio of a mass input
rate into the lower layer to that in total (Q
2/Q), which controls the vertical structure of the inter-gyre flow, and (3) the measure of the wind forcing effect relative to
the β effect, which determines the horizontal extent of the area influenced by the mass input. The other parameter regimes with
respect to Q/T
Sv
max
and Q
2/Q are also presented. 相似文献

During the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 338, several methods were tested for the extraction of interstitial water in consolidated, low‐porosity deep‐sea sediments from Site C0002 in the Kumano Basin. On the basis of those tests, we propose a modified ground rock interstitial normative determination (GRIND) method of extraction of interstitial water. In separate runs of the new method, sediment samples were ground in a ball mill with either ultrapure water or a solution of HNO3. The interstitial water was then extracted with a conventional squeezer. Sufficient solution was extracted by this method to analyse most major and a few minor components of interstitial water that were comparable to those previously reported for samples extracted by the conventional squeezing method. The new method requires much smaller amounts of sediment than that of the conventional method and will be useful for analysis of samples recovered during super‐deep drilling programmes. 相似文献

A numerical study using a 3-D nonhydrostatic model has been applied to baroclinic processes generated by the K
1 tidal flow in and around the Kuril Straits. The result shows that large-amplitude unsteady lee waves are generated and cause
intense diapycnal mixing all along the Kuril Island Chain to levels of a maximum diapycnal diffusivity exceeding 103 cm2s−1. Significant water transformation by the vigorous mixing in shallow regions produces the distinct density and potential vorticity
(PV) fronts along the Island Chain. The pinched-off eddies that arise and move away from the fronts have the ability to transport
a large amount of mixed water (∼14 Sv) to the offshore regions, roughly half being directed to the North Pacific. These features
are consistent with recent satellite imagery and in-situ observations, suggesting that diapycnal mixing within the vicinity
of the Kuril Islands has a greater impact than was previously supposed on the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific. To examine
this influence of tidal processes at the Kurils on circulations in the neighboring two basins, another numerical experiment
was conducted using an ocean general circulation model with inclusion of tidal mixing along the islands, which gives a better
representation of the Okhotsk Sea Mode Water than in the case without the tidal mixing. This is mainly attributed to the added
effect of a significant upward salt flux into the surface layer due to tidal mixing in the Kuril Straits, which is subsequently
transported to the interior region of the Okhotsk Sea. With a saline flux into the surface layer, cooling in winter in the
northern part of the Okhotsk Sea can produce heavier water and thus enhance subduction, which is capable of reproducing a
realistic Okhotsk Sea Mode Water. The associated low PV flux from the Kuril Straits to the open North Pacific excites the
2nd baroclinic-mode Kelvin and Rossby waves in addition to the 1st mode. Interestingly, the meridional overturning in the
North Pacific is strengthened as a result of the dynamical adjustment caused by these waves, leading to a more realistic reproduction
of the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) than in the case without tidal mixing. Accordingly, the joint effect of tidally-induced
transport and transformation dominating in the Kuril Straits and subsequent eddy-transport is considered to play an important
role in the ventilation of both the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific Ocean.

The quantitative evaluation of the effects of bedrock groundwater discharge on spatial variability of stream dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorous (DIP) concentrations has still been insufficient. We examined the relationships between stream DOC, DIN and DIP concentrations and bedrock groundwater contribution to stream water in forest headwater catchments in warm-humid climate zones. We sampled stream water and bedrock springs at multiple points in September and December 2013 in a 5 km2 forest headwater catchment in Japan and sampled groundwater in soil layer in small hillslopes. We assumed that stream water consisted of four end members, groundwater in soil layer and three types of bedrock groundwater, and calculated the contributions of each end member to stream water from mineral-derived solute concentrations. DOC, DIN and DIP concentrations in stream water were compared with the calculated bedrock groundwater contribution. The bedrock groundwater contribution had significant negative linear correlation with stream DOC concentration, no significant correlation with stream DIN concentration, and significant positive linear correlation with stream DIP concentration. These results highlighted the importance of bedrock groundwater discharge in establishing stream DOC and DIP concentrations. In addition, stream DOC and DIP concentrations were higher and lower, respectively, than those expected from end member mixing of groundwater in soil layer and bedrock springs. Spatial heterogeneity of DOC and DIP concentrations in groundwater and/or in-stream DOC production and DIP uptake were the probable reasons for these discrepancies. Our results indicate that the relationships between spatial variability of stream DOC, DIN and DIP concentrations and bedrock groundwater contribution are useful for comparing the processes that affect stream DOC, DIN and DIP concentrations among catchments beyond the spatial heterogeneity of hydrological and biogeochemical processes within a catchment. 相似文献

In this paper, we examined the role of bedrock groundwater discharge and recharge on the water balance and runoff characteristics in forested headwater catchments. Using rigorous observations of catchment precipitation, discharge and streamwater chemistry, we quantified net bedrock flow rates and contributions to streamwater runoff and the water balance in three forested catchments (second‐order to third‐order catchments) underlain by uniform bedrock in Japan. We found that annual rainfall in 2010 was 3130 mm. In the same period, annual discharge in the three catchments varied from 1800 to 3900 mm/year. Annual net bedrock flow rates estimated by the chloride mass balance method at each catchment ranged from ?1600 to 700 mm/year. The net bedrock flow rates were substantially different in the second‐order and third‐order catchments. During baseflow, discharge from the three catchments was significantly different; conversely, peak flows during large storm events and direct runoff ratios were not significantly different. These results suggest that differences in baseflow discharge rates, which are affected by bedrock flow and intercatchment groundwater transfer, result in the differences in water balance among the catchments. This study also suggests that in these second‐order to third‐order catchments, the drainage area during baseflow varies because of differences between the bedrock drainage area and surface drainage area, but that the effective drainage area during storm flow approaches the surface drainage area.

Wind-tunnel experiments in a thermally stratified wind tunnel and direct numerical simulations were performed to simulate
the thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) that developed over a coastal area in a sea-breeze flow. The results of the simulations
were analyzed to investigate turbulence structure in the TIBL. To study the effects of the atmospheric stability over the
sea on the TIBL, two vertical profiles of temperature were created in the upstream portion of the wind-tunnel experiment and
the direct numerical simulation. Turbulence statistics of the TIBL changed significantly according to the temperature profile
over the sea, indicating that the stability of the flow over the sea has a significant effect on the structure and turbulence
characteristics of the TIBL. Furthermore, the TIBL heights were estimated from the vertical profiles of the local Richardson
number. The estimated TIBL heights agreed with those predicted by a pre-existing relation, suggesting that both the wind-tunnel
experiment and the direct numerical simulation accurately reproduced the growth of the TIBL. 相似文献

The effect of grain growth on the cation exchange between synthesized forsterite aggregates (i.e., dunite) and nickel-rich
aqueous fluid was evaluated experimentally at 1.2 GPa and 1,200°C. The grain boundary (GB) migration caused nickel enrichment
in the area swept by the GBs in a fashion similar to that reported for stable isotope exchange in the quartz aggregates. The
progress of the grain growth resulted in an increase in the average nickel concentration in the dunites of up to ~80 times
that was calculated for a system having stationary GBs. The overall diffusivity of the nickel along the wet GBs and interconnected
fluid networks was found to be 6.5 × 10−19–6.7 × 10−18 m3/s, which is 4–5 orders of magnitude higher than the grain boundary diffusivity in the dry dunite. These results show that
the grain growth rate is a fundamental factor in the evaluation of the time scale of chemical homogenization in the upper
mantle. 相似文献
