Faroe Shelf Water     

Karin Margretha H. Larsen  Bogi Hansen  Harald Svendsen 《Continental Shelf Research》2008

Faroe Shelf Water (FSW) is the water mass that occupies the shallow parts of the Faroe Shelf, surrounding the Faroe Islands (62°N, 7°W). Intensive tidal mixing induces a high degree of homogeneity and the circulation system allows a partial isolation from surrounding waters. This water mass, therefore, supports a unique ecosystem of great importance for commercial fish stocks and studies have shown a clear dependence of the ecosystem on the physical processes that maintain this system and control the exchange between the FSW and the off-shelf waters. In order to identify and quantify these processes, a large observational dataset has been analysed and related to alternative theories. From this analysis, the extent and properties of the FSW have been quantified and the degree of stratification explained in terms of the Simpson–Hunter theory. The residual clockwise circulation system, which is responsible for the partial isolation from off-shelf waters, is shown to be mainly generated by tidal rectification. The typical exchange rate of water between the FSW and the off-shelf regimes has been determined by the use of simple models based on the heat and the salt budgets but the actual exchange rate is found to vary considerably in time and space. These results support earlier suggestions that this exchange is the main limiting factor for the phytoplankton spring bloom on the Faroe Shelf and that variations in exchange rate are responsible for the large inter-annual variation in spring bloom timing and intensity. The observations indicate that the on-shelf/off-shelf exchange intensity is not symmetrically distributed around the shelf, but rather concentrated around the narrow southern tip of the Faroe Shelf, where off-shelf waters during intensive exchange events may be imported all the way to the shore.  相似文献   

Sedimentary patterns and geometries of the Bahamian outer carbonate ramp (Miocene–Lower Pliocene, Great Bahama Bank)     

Christian Betzler  John J. G. Reijmer  Karin Bernet  Gregor P. Eberli  & Flavio S. Anselmetti 《Sedimentology》1999,46(6):1127-1143

Core, logging and high-resolution seismic data from ODP Leg 166 were used to analyse deposits of the Neogene (Miocene–Lower Pliocene) Bahamian outer carbonate ramp. Ramp sediments are cyclic alternations of light- and dark-grey wackestones/packstones with interbedded calciturbidite packages and minor slumps. Cyclicity was driven by high-frequency sea-level changes. Light-grey layers containing shallow-water bioclasts were formed when the ramp exported material, whereas the dark-grey layers are dominantly pelagic. Calciturbidites are arranged into mounded lobes with feeder channels. Internal bedding of the lobes shows a north-directed shingling as a result of the asymmetrical growth of these bodies. Calciturbidite packages occur below and above sequence boundaries, indicating that turbidite shedding occurred during third-order sea-level highstands and lowstands. Highstand turbidites contain shallow-water components, such as green algal debris and epiphytic foraminifera, whereas lowstand turbidites are dominated by abraded bioclastic detritus. Gravity flow depocentres shifted from an outer ramp position during the early Miocene to a basin floor setting during the late Miocene to early Pliocene. This change was triggered by an intensification of the strength of bottom currents during the Tortonian, which was also responsible for shaping the convex morphology of the outer ramp. The Miocene and Lower Pliocene of the leeward flank of Great Bahama Bank provides an example of the poorly known depositional setting of the outer part of distally steepened carbonate ramps. The contrast between its sedimentary patterns and the well-known Upper Pliocene–Quaternary slope facies associations of the flat-topped Great Bahama Bank shows the strong control that the morphology of a carbonate platform exerts on the depositional architecture of the adjacent slope and base-of-slope successions.  相似文献   

Impact of Air Pollution on Genetic Material of Shallot (Allium cepa L. var. ascalonicum) Exposed at Differently Polluted Sites in Slovenia     

Erika Glasenčnik  Cvetka Ribarič-Lasnik  Karin Savinek  Meta Zaluberšek  Maria Mueller  Franc Batič 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2004,49(1-3):363-376

Test shallot plants Allium cepa L. var. ascalonicum were exposed to field conditions at six research plots in the most polluted areas in Slovenia in the vegetation seasons in 1999 and 2000. The intention of this research was to evaluate the influence of air pollution on mitotic activity and frequency of chromosomal aberrations in meristematic tissues of root tips of bioindication plants. Significant differences in the mitotic index and in frequency of chromosomal aberrations at different sampling plots in pot experiments were found and the correlation between the ozone concentration and the mitotic index was determined. The results showed the presence of cytotoxic substances at chosen sampling sites, which caused the decrease of mitotic cell division and the presence of genotoxic substances, which resulted in the increase of frequency of chromosomal aberrations.  相似文献

Die kurzwellige Strahlung von Sonne und Himmel auf verschieden orientierte und geneigte Flächen     

Karin Schram  J. C. Thams 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》1967,15(1-2):99-126

Zusammenfassung In Locarno-Monti am Alpensüdfu? wurde w?hrend zwei Jahren die kurzwellige Strahlung von Sonne + Himmel (Globalstrahlung) auf eine horizontale, je eine um 30° bzw. 60° nach Süden und je eine um 30° nach Osten bzw. Westen geneigte Auffangfl?che mit Solarimetern registriert. Die Tages- und Jahresg?nge der Globalstrahlung zeigen an wolkenlosen Tagen gro?e Unterschiede im Strahlungsgenu? der verschieden orientierten und verschieden geneigten Fl?chen. Im Mittel aller Tage sind diese Unterschiede zwar kleiner, jedoch wegen der gro?en relativen Sonnenscheindauer in Locarno-Monti immer noch sehr ausgepr?gt. Bei vollkommen bedecktem Himmel verschwinden die Unterschiede fast v?llig. Aufgrund der Beziehungen zwischen der Globalstrahlung und der relativen Sonnenscheindauer genügen Parallelmessungen von wenigen Jahren, um daraus klimatologische Mittelwerte der Globalstrahlung auf verschieden orientierte und geneigte Fl?chen berechnen zu k?nnen. Das Verh?ltnis der Strahlung auf geneigte H?nge zu der auf die horizontale Fl?che h?ngt von der Jahreszeit und der Bew?lkung ab. Diese Beziehung kann dazu dienen, bei Kenntnis der Globalstrahlung auf eine horizontale Fl?che jene auf eine geneigte Auffangfl?che zu bestimmen. Schlie?lich wird auf die Bedeutung dieser Untersuchungen für die praktische Meteorologie hingewiesen.

Summary For a two years' period the total (short wave) radiation of sun and sky falling on a horizontal surface, on southern slopes of 30° and 60° inclination, resp., and on eastern and western slopes of 30° inclination has been recorded with solarimeters at Locarno-Monti (Switzerland). On cloudless days the diurnal and annual variations of the total radiation indicate rather big differences between the radiation falling on the surfaces of different inclination and orientation. Considering the radiation covering all days, these differences are smaller but still distinctly marked because of the high relative duration of sunshine at Locarno-Monti. On overcast days all surfaces receive almost the same amount of radiation. Climatological averages of the total radiation falling on surfaces of different orientation and inclination can be deduced using the relation between the total radiation and the duration of sunshine. The ratio between the radiation falling on inclined planes and the radiation falling on a horizontal surface depends on season and cloudiness. By means of these relations the radiation falling on inclined surfaces can be calculated using the radiation falling on the horizontal surface. Finally the importance of such investigations for applied meteorology is pointed out.

Résumé Le rayonnement de courte longueur d'onde du soleil et du ciel (rayonnement global) a été enregistré pendant deux ans à Locarno-Monti, au pied sud des Alpes, au moyen de solarimètres présentant différentes orientations. Les surfaces réceptrices étaient respectivement horizontale, inclinées de 30° et 60° vers le sud, ainsi que de 30° vers l'est et l'ouest. Les variations journalières et saisonnières du rayonnement global mettent en évidence les grandes différences d'éclairement des surfaces réceptrices selon leur azimut et leur inclinaison, lors des journées ensoleillées surtout. Ces différences sont plus faibles lorsque l'on prend tous les jours en considération, mais restent cependant bien marquées par suite de la grande durée relative d'insolation à Locarno-Monti; elles disparaissent presque complètement par ciel entièrement couvert. En s'appuyant sur les relations entre le rayonnement global et la durée relative d'insolation, l'on peut calculer des moyennes climatologiques du rayonnement global tombant sur des surfaces d'orientation différente à l'aide de quelques années seulement d'enregistrements parallèles. Le quotient des rayonnements re?us par une pente inclinée et par une surface horizontale dépend de la saison et de la couverture nuageuse. Une fois cette relation connue, il est possible d'évaluer le rayonnement global re?u par une surface inclinée à partir des valeurs relatives à une surface horizontale. Enfin, l'on signale l'importance de ces recherches pour la météorologie appliquée.

Riassunto A Locarno-Monti al piede meridionale delle Alpi durante due anni fu registrata con solarimetri la radiazione ad onde corte del sole + cielo (radiazione globale) su superfici orizzontale, inclinate di 30° e rispettivamete 60° e rivolte verso sud, nonchè su superfici orizzontale, inclinate di 30° e rivolte verso est, rispettivamente verso ovest. Gli andamenti giornaliero ed annuale della radiazione globale mostrano nei giorni senza nuvole grandi differenze nella quantità di radiazione ricevuta dalle superfici diversamente inclinate e orientate. Nella media di tutti i giorni tali differenze sono si più piccole, tuttavia sempre ancora ben pronunciate causa l'elevata durata relativa dell'insolazione. Con cielo completamente coperto le differenze scompaiono quasi completamente. In base alle relazioni tra la radiazione globale e la durata relativa dell'insolazione, sono sufficienti misure parallele di soli pochi anni per poter calcolare valori climatologici della radiazione globale su diverse superfici orientate e inclinate. Il rapporto tra la radiazione su pendii inclinati e quella su superfici orizzontale dipende dalla stagione e dalla nuvolosità. Questa relazione può servire, conoscendo la radiazione globale su una superficie orizzontale, a determinare quella su una superficie di ricezione inclinata. Da ultimo viene accennato all'importanza di queste ricerche per la meteorologia pratica.

Early Weichselian interstadial (MIS 5c) summer temperatures were higher than today in northern Fennoscandia     

Minna Väliranta  Hilary H. Birks  Karin Helmens  Stefan Engels  Mikko Piirainen 《Quaternary Science Reviews》2009,28(9-10):777-782

Only fragmentary biostratigraphical interstadial data exist from northern European high latitudes. The palaeoenvironmental interpretations for the early part of the Last Glaciation in northern Fennoscandia are mainly based on palynological evidence that suggests open birch woodland and a sub-arctic climate. Plant macrofossils from the Sokli sediment sequence in Finnish Lapland provide different evidence of interstadial climate conditions. The assemblage includes several species that currently have considerably more southern distribution ranges. This indicates that ca 100,000 years ago summer temperatures were warmer than today. The mean minimum July temperature may have been as high as 16 °C and the effective temperature sum may have been 1000 in day-degree units (d.d.), the modern values being 13 °C and 650 d.d., respectively. The contemporary astronomical forcing mechanisms may have resulted in a weaker north–south temperature gradient and a longer growing period, creating more favourable climate conditions compared with today.  相似文献   

Identification of groundwater exfiltration,interflow discharge,and hyporheic exchange flows by fibre optic distributed temperature sensing supported by electromagnetic induction geophysics     

Jaime Gaona  Karin Meinikmann  Jrg Lewandowski 《水文研究》2019,33(10):1390-1402

Water exchange across the sediment–water interface of streams impresses a characteristic thermal pattern at the interface. The use of fibre optic distributed temperature sensing at the sediment–water interface in a small sand‐bed stream identifies such temperature patterns. Groundwater and interflow can be differentiated based on the temporal evolution of temperature patterns. Additionally, sudden temperature changes at the sediment–water interface observed during the transit of floods enable spatial identification of local up and downwelling. Electromagnetic induction geophysics can detect subsurface texture structures that support groundwater–surface water exchange. Our results show that areas of permanent temperature anomalies observed with fibre optic distributed temperature sensing match areas of comparatively homogeneous electrical conductivity. This indicates groundwater discharge and enables differentiating groundwater discharge from interflow and local downwelling.  相似文献   

Quantitative WD‐XRF calibration for small ceramic samples and their source material     

Franois De Vleeschouwer  Virginie Renson  Philippe Claeys  Karin Nys  Richard Bindler 《Geoarchaeology》2011,26(3):440-450

A wavelength‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (WD‐XRF) calibration is developed for small powdered samples (300mg) with the purpose of analyzing ceramic artifacts that might be available only in limited quantity. This is compared to a conventional calibration using a larger sample mass (2g). The comparison of elemental intensities obtained in both calibrations shows that the decrease in analyzed sample mass results in a linear decrease in measured intensity for the analyzed elements. This indicates that the small‐ and large‐sample calibrations are comparable. Moreover, the elemental contents of four ceramic sherds and two potential clay sources fall well within the range of the certified reference materials that are the basis of the calibration curves. The advantage with the analytical method presented here is that it is rapid and requires only a small amount of sample that can easily be re‐used for further analyses. This method has great potential in ceramic provenance studies. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献
