Most established methods to characterize aquifer structure and hydraulic conductivities of hydrostratigraphical units are not capable of delivering sufficient information in the spatial resolution that is desired for sophisticated numerical contaminant transport modeling and adapted remediation design. With hydraulic investigation methods based on the direct-push (DP) technology such as DP slug tests, DP injection logging, and the hydraulic profiling tool, it is possible to rapidly delineate hydrogeological structures and estimate their hydraulic conductivity in shallow unconsolidated aquifers without the need for wells. A combined application of these tools was used for the investigation of a contaminated German refinery site and for the setup of hydraulic aquifer models. The quality of DP investigation and the models was evaluated by comparisons of tracer transport simulations using these models and measured breakthroughs of two natural gradient tracer tests. Model scenarios considering the information of all tools together showed good reproduction of the measured breakthroughs, indicating the suitability of the approach and a minor impact of potential technical limitations. Using the DP slug tests alone yielded significantly higher deviations for the determined hydraulic conductivities compared to considering two or three of the tools. Realistic aquifer models developed on basis of such combined DP investigation approaches can help optimize remediation concepts or identify flow regimes for aquifers with a complex structure.  相似文献   

Determination of High Field Strength Elements, Rb, Sr, Mo, Sb, Cs, Tl and Bi at ng g⁻¹ Levels in Geological Reference Materials by Magnetic Sector ICP-MS after HF/HClO₄ High Pressure Digestion

Six low abundance rock reference materials (basalt BIR-1, dunite DTS-1, dolerite DNC-1, peridotite PCC-1, serpentine UB-N and basalt TAFAHI) have been analysed for high field strength elements (Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta, Th and U), Rb, Sr, Mo, Sb, Cs, Tl and Bi at ng g⁻¹ levels (in rock) by magnetic sector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry after HF/HClO₄ high pressure decomposition. The adopted method uses only indium as an internal standard. Detection limits were found to be in the range of 0.08 to 16.2 pg ml⁻¹ in solution (equivalent to 0.08 to 16.2 ng g⁻¹ in rock). Our data for high field strength elements, Rb, Sr, Mo, Sb, Cs, Tl and Bi for the six selected low abundance geological reference materials show general agreement with previously published data. Our Ta values in DTS-1 and PCC-1 (1.3 and 0.5 ng g⁻¹) are lower than in previously published studies, providing smooth primitive mantle distribution patterns. Lower values were also found for Tl in BIR-1, DTS-1 and PCC-1 (2, 0.4 and 0.8 ng g⁻¹). Compared with quadrupole ICP-MS studies, the proposed magnetic sector ICP-MS method can generally provide better detection limits, so that the measurement of high field strength elements, Rb, Sr, Mo, Sb, Cs, Tl and Bi at ng g⁻¹ levels can be achieved without pre-concentration, ion exchange separation or other specialised techniques.  相似文献

Filter-feeding ascidians (Ciona intestinalis) in a shallow cove: Implications of hydrodynamics for grazing impact     

Hans Ulrik Riisgård  Carsten Jürgensen  Torben Clausen 《Journal of Sea Research》1996,35(4):293-300

The grazing impact by a dense population of filter-feeding ascidians Ciona intestinalis on horizontally flowing water (driven by density circulation) in a shallow cove (Kertinge Nor, Denmark) has been described and quantified by means of a simple one-dimensional numerical model. The agreement between observations and modelled predictions was satisfactory. The applied numerical model has the following analytical solution in the idealized case: Cx = C₀e^−(fx/Y₂), where C_x = algal concentration at a downstream distance x, C₀ = initial concentration, f = F/v_c; F = area specific population filtration rate; v_c = current velocity; Y₂ = depth of mixed layer below halocline. The numerical model quantifies the actual grazing impact while the analytical model illustrates the governing physics in well-known terms. To describe situations with no current (i.e. stagnant water), we performed simulation studies in the laboratory and measured vertical profiles of algal cells over filter-feeding C. intestinalis. The results showed that phytoplankton became reduced in a near-bottom water layer of 20–30 cm thickness. Such water layers may develop in stagnant water (calm days and no advective currents), thus uncoupling the pelagic food and the filter feeders which within a short time will experience extremely meagre food conditions.  相似文献   

Dynamics of planets in retrograde mean motion resonance     

Julie Gayon  Eric Bois  Hans Scholl 《Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy》2009,103(3):267-279

In a previous paper (Gayon and Bois 2008a), we have shown the general efficiency of retrograde resonances for stabilizing compact planetary systems. Such retrograde resonances can be found when two-planets of a three-body planetary system are both in mean motion resonance and revolve in opposite directions. For a particular two-planet system, we have also obtained a new orbital fit involving such a counter-revolving configuration and consistent with the observational data. In the present paper, we analytically investigate the three-body problem in this particular case of retrograde resonances. We therefore define a new set of canonical variables allowing to express correctly the resonance angles and obtain the Hamiltonian of a system harboring planets revolving in opposite directions. The acquiring of an analytical “rail” may notably contribute to a deeper understanding of our numerical investigation and provides the major structures related to the stability properties. A comparison between our analytical and numerical results is also carried out.  相似文献   

Boninites as windows into trace element mobility in subduction zones   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Stephan König  Carsten Münker  Stephan Schuth  Ambre Luguet  Jonathan Kuduon 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2010,74(2):684-338

Boninites are subduction-related rocks originating from re-melting of highly depleted mantle sources left after extraction of tholeiitic melts. Due to their depleted nature, the incompatible trace element inventory of boninites is virtually entirely inherited from slab components without a significant contribution from the refractory mantle wedge. Thus, boninites constitute an excellent window into processes controlling trace element mobilization at the slab-mantle wedge interface. In order to constrain the behaviour of trace elements in subduction zones with a special emphasis on high field strength elements, we analyzed low-Ca boninites and associated tholeiitic basalts from Cape Vogel, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and compare them with compositions of high-Ca boninites and associated tholeiitic basalts from Cyprus. High-precision HFSE (Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, W) concentration data of the boninites and associated tholeiitic basalts were obtained by isotope dilution. Major, trace element, and Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb isotope compositions clearly document a significant contribution of slab-derived melts involved in the petrogenesis of the PNG boninites, whereas only fluid-like subduction components were involved in the petrogenesis of the PNG basalts and the Cyprus suite. Low-Ca boninites from PNG are derived from a more refractory mantle source (∼21% depletion) than the high-Ca boninites from Cyprus (∼11% depletion) and their respective tholeiitic precursors (<10% depletion). In agreement with the more depleted nature of their mantle source, boninites exhibit a significantly stronger overprint by slab components. High-precision HFSE data indicate that, in comparison to LILE, a somewhat lower but measurable mobilization of all investigated HFSE in both slab-derived fluids and melts is evident. Modelling calculations demonstrate that the subduction components dominate the LILE budget and also largely control LREE and HFSE abundances in the boninite sources. Notably, the increasing influence of slab-derived fluids results in a decrease of the negative Nb-Ta anomaly, most likely reflecting a similar mobility of Nb-Ta and LREE at higher pressures near the critical point of fluid-melt miscibility. Ratios of Zr/Hf and Nb/Ta in the melt-like slab components dominating in the sources of the PNG boninites were probably fractionated in equilibrium with garnet-amphibolitic mafic oceanic crust. HFSE ratios in the Cyprus boninites are best explained by dehydration of subducted pelagic sediments in the absence of Ti-rich phases such as rutile. Our results also confirm previous assertions that the mobility of HFSE decreases in the order Sb > W-Mo > Nb-Ta > Zr-Hf. Furthermore, Mo-W systematics may provide a potential novel tracer for the amount, composition and redox state of subducted pelagic sediments that contribute to the geochemical budget of intra-oceanic arc systems.  相似文献

On the Instability of Jupiter's Trojans     

F. MarzariH. Scholl 《Icarus》2002,159(2):328-338

We have numerically explored the mechanisms that destabilize Jupiter's Trojan orbits outside the stability region defined by Levison et al. (1997, Nature385, 42-44). Different models have been exploited to test various possible sources of instability on timescales on the order of ∼10⁸ years.In the restricted three-body model, only a few Trojan orbits become unstable within 10⁸ years. This intrinsic instability contributes only marginally to the overall instability found by Levison et al.In a model where the orbital parameters of both Jupiter and Saturn are fixed, we have investigated the role of Saturn and its gravitational influence. We find that a large fraction of Trojan orbits become unstable because of the direct nonresonant perturbations by Saturn. By shifting its semimajor axis at constant intervals around its present value we find that the near 5:2 mean motion resonance between the two giant planets (the Great Inequality) is not responsible for the gross instability of Jupiter's Trojans since short-term perturbations by Saturn destabilize Trojans, even when the two planets are far out of the resonance.Secular resonances are an additional source of instability. In the full six-body model with the four major planets included in the numerical integration, we have analyzed the effects of secular resonances with the node of the planets. Trojan asteroids have relevant inclinations, and nodal secular resonances play an important role. When a Trojan orbit becomes unstable, in most cases the libration amplitude of the critical argument of the 1:1 mean motion resonance grows until the asteroid encounters the planet. Libration amplitude, eccentricity, and nodal rate are linked for Trojan orbits by an algebraic relation so that when one of the three parameters is perturbed, the other two are affected as well. There are numerous secular resonances with the nodal rate of Jupiter that fall inside the region of instability and contribute to destabilize Trojans, in particular the ν₁₆. Indeed, in the full model the escape rate over 50 Myr is higher compared to the fixed model.Some secular resonances even cross the stability region delimited by Levison et al. and cause instability. This is the case of the 3:2 and 1:2 nodal resonances with Jupiter. In particular the 1:2 is responsible for the instability of some clones of the L4 Trojan (3540) Protesilaos.  相似文献   

Tidal correction of hydrographic measurements     

Carsten W. Brockmann  Dr. Joachim W. Dippner 《Ocean Dynamics》1987,40(6):241-260

Summary A simple procedure is presented to eliminate the influence of tidal oscillation from hydrographic measurements. This is done with a transformation from a co-ordinate system fixed in space to a co-ordinate system fixed in time using results of a numerical tidal model. The procedure is applied to a hydrographic survey in the German Bight. The hydrographic structure transformed onto a co-ordinate system fixed in time is much more similar to the structure obtained by satellite pictures and shows dynamical processes much clearer than in a co-ordinate system fixed in space.

Gezeitenkorrektur von hydrographischen Messungen

Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, das hydrographische Messungen vom Einfluß periodischer Variationen durch die Gezeiten bereinigt. Dies geschieht unter Benutzung von Ergebnissen eines numerischen Modells durch eine Transformation einer gemessenen hydrographischen Struktur von einem ortsfesten in ein zeitfestes System. Dieses Verfahren wird auf eine hydrographische Aufnahme der Deutschen Bucht angewandt. Die auf ein zeitfestes Koordinatensystem transformierte hydrographische Messung zeigt sehr viel Ähnlichkeit mit einer synoptischen Messung, die bei einem Satellitenüberflug gewonnen wurde. Bestimmte dynamische Prozesse in der Deutschen Bucht lassen sich zudem im zeitfesten Koordinatensystem besser erkennen als im ortsfesten Koordinatensystem.

Correction de l'influence de la marée sur les mesures hydrologiques

Résumé L'article présente une méthode simple pour éliminer l'influence de la marée sur les mesures hydrologiques. Cela est obtenu par le passage d'un système de coordonnées fixe dans l'espace à un système de coordonnées fixe dans le temps utilisant les résultats d'un modèle numérique de marée. La méthode est appliquée à un levé hydrologique dans la Baie Allemande. La structure hydrologique obtenue dans un système de coordonnées fixe dans le temps est beaucoup plus proche de celle qui est obtenue par les images satellites et décrit le processus dynamique beaucoup plus clairement que dans un système de coordonnées fixe dans l'espace.
