RECENT TRENDS IN TREE-RING RECORDS FROM HIGH ELEVATION SITES IN THE ANDES OF NORTHERN PATAGONIA 总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12

A new set of tree-ring records from the Andes of northern Patagonia, Argentina (41° S) was used to evaluate recent (i.e., last 250 years) regional trends in tree growth at upper treeline. Fifteen tree-ring chronologies from 1200 to 1750 m elevation were developed for Nothofagus pumilio, the dominant subalpine species. Samples were collected along three elevational transects located along the steep west-to-east precipitation gradient from the main Cordillera (mean annual precipitation >4000 mm) to an eastern outlier of the Andes (mean annual precipitation >2000 mm). Ring-width variation in higher elevation tree-ring records from the main Cordillera is mainly related to changes in temperature and precipitation during spring and summer. However, the response to climatic variation is also influenced by local site factors of elevation and exposure. Based on the relationships between Nothofagus growth and climate, we reconstructed changes in snow cover duration in late spring and variations in mean annual temperature since A.D. 1750. Abrupt interannual changes in the mean annual temperature reconstruction are associated with strong to very strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events. At upper treeline, tree growth since 1977 has been anomalously high. A sharp rise in global average tropospheric temperatures has been recorded since the mid-1970s in response to an enhanced tropical hydrologic cycle due to an increase in temperature of the tropical Pacific. Temperatures in northern Patagonia have been anomalously high throughout the 1980s, which is consistent with positive temperature anomalies in the tropical Pacific and along the western coast of the Americas at c.a. 40° S latitude. Our 250-year temperature reconstruction indicates that although the persistently high temperatures of the 1980s are uncommon during this period, they are not unprecedented. Tropical climatic episodes similar to that observed during the 1980s may have occurred in the recent past under pre-industrial carbon dioxide levels. 相似文献

沉积物粒度分析在阿尔金山隆升研究中的应用 总被引：7，自引：5，他引：7
山体隆升必然制约两侧盆地的沉积,这种约束体现在盆地的沉积响应上.柴达木盆地西北缘的阿尔金山,位于青藏高原的西北边界,自第三纪以来发生了多次隆升事件,其中以早更新世末的一次最为强烈.本次研究在阿尔金山山前红三旱一号剖面干柴沟组自下而上不同层位选取典型的沉积岩样品,进行了系统的薄片矿物鉴定和粒度分析,发现沉积区柴达木盆地的沉积环境和气候条件因受阿尔金山多期次隆升的影响而发生变化,其各方面的沉积特点受到物源区的控制.研究表明,始新世时(下干柴沟组)物源区阿尔金山相对于柴达木盆地没有发生明显的快速隆升,到渐新世(上干柴沟组)阿尔金山相对于柴达木盆地开始发生强烈的快速隆升,沉积区气候变得明显干旱.中新世到上新世(下、上油砂山和狮子沟组)红三旱地区整体处于抬升阶段,可能阿尔金山相对于沉积盆地区不具有明显的地形高差,到早更新世(七个泉组)阿尔金山开始发生急剧隆升,相对于柴达木盆地沉积区在地形上出现巨大的相对高差,这一隆升事件目前仍在持续.该研究也为青藏高原的多次隆升和气候环境变化提供了佐证. 相似文献

Channel formation by flow stripping: large-scale scour features along the Monterey East Channel and their relation to sediment waves 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
ANDREA FILDANI WILLIAM R. NORMARK† SVETLANA KOSTIC‡ GARY PARKER‡ 《Sedimentology》2006,53(6):1265-1287
The Monterey East system is formed by large‐scale sediment waves deposited as a result of flows stripped from the deeply incised Monterey fan valley (Monterey Channel) at the apex of the Shepard Meander. The system is dissected by a linear series of steps that take the form of scour‐shaped depressions ranging from 3·5 to 4·5 km in width, 3 to 6 km in length and from 80 to 200 m in depth. These giant scours are aligned downstream from a breech in the levee on the southern side of the Shepard Meander. The floor of the breech is only 150 m above the floor of the Monterey fan valley but more than 100 m below the levee crests resulting in significant flow stripping. Numerical modeling suggests that the steps in the Monterey East system were created by Froude‐supercritical turbidity currents stripped from the main flow in the Monterey channel itself. Froude‐supercritical flow over an erodible bed can be subject to an instability that gives rise to the formation of cyclic steps, i.e. trains of upstream‐migrating steps bounded upstream and downstream by hydraulic jumps in the flow above them. The flow that creates these steps may be net‐erosional or net‐depositional. In the former case it gives rise to trains of scours such as those in the Monterey East system, and in the latter case it gives rise to the familiar trains of upstream‐migrating sediment waves commonly seen on submarine levees. The Monterey East system provides a unique opportunity to introduce the concept of cyclic steps in the submarine environment to study processes that might result in channel initiation on modern submarine fans. 相似文献

The geomorphological theory of the hydrological response, originated by Rodriguez-Iturbe and Valdes, is reviewed with reference to the general framework of the formulation of transport processes by travel time distributions. This review, by no means exhaustive of the publications on this subject, collects in a reasonably organic manner some relevant theoretical developments and a few significant applications. 相似文献
