The behaviour of dissolved arsenic in the estuary of the River Beaulieu     

A.G. Howard  M.H. Arbab-Zavar  S. Apte 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1984,19(5):493-504

The chemical forms and distribution of dissolved arsenic species in the estuary of the River Beaulieu (Hampshire, U.K.) are reported. ‘Inorganic arsenic (V)’ in both the marine and riverine estuary inputs are in true solution, passing through ultrafiltration membranes having a nominal molecular weight cut-off of 500 daltons. Extensive removal of dissolved ‘inorganic arsenic (V)’ is apparent from the distribution of arsenic in the estuary, with laboratory mixing experiments indicating that removal is favoured in the low salinity region. ‘Inorganic arsenic (III)’ and methylated arsenic species account for up to 41% and 70% of the dissolved arsenic, respectively, but are only found during the warmer months when water temperatures exceed ca. 12°C.  相似文献

The Petryanov air filters combined into half-year sets were analyzed for the presence of ⁴⁰K, ¹³⁷Cs and ²²Na by means of low-background gamma rays spectrometry. Each sample contains aerosols from more than 1 Mm³ of air. Samples were collected in ground level air at Kraków (Southern Poland) from 1996 to 2002. Activity concentrations of ⁴⁰K are almost constant with the mean of 14.7± 4.5 Bq m^–3. Activity concentrations of ¹³⁷Cs, which are on the level of single Bq m^{– 3} show exponential decrease with effective half-life time of 7.07± 0.77 years. The cosmogenic ²²Na shows a strong seasonal variation with significant different mean values activity concentration between 0.333± 0.095 Bq m^–3 and 0.137± 0.045 Bq m^–3, for summer and winter, respectively. Moreover, the activity ratio for two cosmogenic radionuclides: ²²Na and measured previously ⁷Be show also changes with statistically significant seasonal differences. The lower values were found during winters. The mechanisms which might govern this ratio are discussed. The conclusion is that transport of ²²Na during summer seems to be so much effective, that results in kind of relative depletion of stratosphere of this nuclide.  相似文献   

The Control Of Coherent Eddies In Vegetation Canopies: Streamwise Structure Spacing, Canopy Shear Scale And Atmospheric Stability   总被引：9，自引：9，他引：0  

Y. Brunet  M. R. Irvine 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2000,94(1):139-163

An analogy has been established between a plane mixing layer and the atmospheric flow near the top of a vegetation canopy. It is based on a common feature, a strong inflection in the mean velocity profile, responsible for hydrodynamical instabilities that set the pattern for the coherent eddies and determine the turbulence length scales. In an earlier study, this analogy was tested using a small data set from thirteen experiments, all in near-neutral conditions. It provided a good prediction of the streamwise spacing _w of the dominant canopy eddies (evaluated from time series of vertical velocity) that appears to depend on a shear length scale L_s = U(h)/U'(h), where h is canopy height, U is mean velocity and U' the vertical gradient dU/dz. The present analysis utilizes an extensive data set of approximately 700 thirty-minute runs, from six experiments on two forest sites and a maize crop, with a large range of stability conditions. _w was estimated for each run using the wavelet transform as an objective, automated detection method. First, the variations of _w and L_s with atmospheric stability are discussed. Neutral and unstable values exhibit a large scatter whereas in stable conditions both variables decrease with increasing stability. It is subsequently found that _w is directly related to L_s, in a way close to the neutral prediction _w /h = 8.1L_s/h.The Strouhal number S_tr = L_s /_w is then shown to vary with atmospheric stability, weakly in unstable conditions, more significantly in stable conditions. Altogether these results suggest that, to some extent, the plane mixing-layer analogy can be extended to non-neutral conditions. It is argued that the primary effect of atmospheric stability, at least in stable conditions, is to modify the shear length scale L_s through changes in U(h) and U'(h), which in turn determines the streamwise spacing of the active, coherent motions.  相似文献   

赣东北前寒武纪港边杂岩体的岩浆混合（和）作用及其地质意义   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

李昌年  廖群安 《岩石矿物学杂志》2006,25(5):357-376

赣东北地区沿江绍断裂北缘和江南造山带南侧有大量的前寒武纪火山侵入杂岩呈带状分布,主要由大面积的陆相火山岩和若干长英质镁铁质火成杂岩体组成,后者中出露面积最大的港边杂岩体在填图尺度上可划分为长英质岩、镁铁质岩和过渡性岩3大组成部分,长英质岩颗粒锆石U_Pb谐和不一致曲线上交点年龄为822±4Ma,代表杂岩体中岩浆混合作用发生的时间。港边岩体中长英质岩石的Nd模式年龄为1·49~1·68Ga,镁铁质岩中玄武质岩石为1·51~2·21Ga,辉长岩的Nd模式年龄与玄武质岩石基本相同,为1·54~2·13Ga,经计算的过渡性岩石的Nd模式年龄为1·58~1·90Ga,因此认为镁铁质岩石从源区分离的时间要远早于长英质岩石,而过渡性岩石含有前两个端员岩浆相互混合(和)的信息。长英质岩石的εNd(t=822Ma)值为-0·8~-4·4,87Sr/86Sr(822)比值为0·70368~0·70549;玄武质岩石的εNd(822)值为-2·6~+2·3,87Sr/86Sr(822)比值为0·70387~0·70527,这反映了镁铁质岩浆的源区接近总地球,长英质岩浆则来自具壳幔混合性质的EMⅠ型地幔的源区。可以推测,赣东北前寒武纪也曾发生过岩浆底侵作用。底侵作用对港边火成杂岩体岩浆的形成起着重要的作用。底侵于壳幔边界的玄武质岩浆使地壳熔融形成长英质岩浆并聚集于浅部岩浆房。随着长英质岩浆房降温,长英质岩浆的结晶度和粘度增加,其物理状态发生液态→(固+液)混合态→固态的变化;当玄武质岩浆穿透下地壳并不断进入物理状态变化的长英质岩浆房时,持续地发生两种岩浆的化学混合作用或两岩浆的机械混合作用或玄武质岩浆的侵入,其混合作用的时间以长英质岩锆石的U_Pb谐和不一致曲线上交点年龄822±4Ma界定。根据Nd模式年龄(tDM)和Nd富集系数(fSm/Nd)分布特征,可以确定中元古代江南造山带为太古宙扬子古陆核的横向增生体,而新元古代陆相火山侵入杂岩带则横向增生于江南造山带南缘。至此,扬子古陆横向增生作用结束,开始与华夏古陆拼贴,包括港边火成杂岩体在内的新元古代火山侵入杂岩带则成为两古陆连结的纽带。  相似文献

湘东南志留纪彭公庙花岗岩体的地质地球化学特征及其构造环境   总被引：15，自引：1，他引：15

志留纪彭公庙岩体地处湘东南,岩石类型主要为黑云母花岗闪长岩、黑云母二长花岗岩、二云母二长花岗岩。各岩石单元从早至晚,w(S iO2)总体由低变高,变化在65.30%~73.42%之间;w(K2O)平均为4.34%,w(Na2O+K2O)为6.46%~8.32%,平均为7.09%;w(K2O)/w(Na2O)平均为1.58;岩石富铝,w(A l2O3)平均为14.13%。岩体总体属铁质、强过铝质高钾钙碱性花岗岩。Ba、Nb、Sr、P、Ti相对于原始地幔为负异常,Rb、(Th+U)、(La+Ce)、Nd、(Zr+H f+Sm)、(Y+Yb)等则相对富集。w(ΣREE)平均为221.85×10-6;轻稀土富集,w(La)N/w(Yb)N值平均为8.66;Eu弱亏损,δ(Eu)平均为0.53。ISr值为0.712 30~0.718 31,εSr(t)为110.7~196.1,εNd(t)为-8.0~-8.7,t2DM为1.81~1.87 Ga。上述地球化学特征表明彭公庙岩体为S型花岗岩。在C/MF-A/MF图解中,样品点部分落入基性岩区,部分落入变质碎屑岩区;在岩体氧化物比值的Harker图解中,各样点构成良好的线性关系;在w(La)/w(Sm)-w(La)图解中样品点分布散乱;酸性程度最高的晚期恩垄岩石单元的轻稀土相对富集更为明显;岩石中发育镁铁质岩浆包体等,表明彭公庙岩体具岩浆混合成因。地球化学构造环境判别图解、岩体侵位地质特征以及区域构造演化背景等表明彭公庙岩体形成于后造山构造环境。岩体各岩石单元侵位的先后次序可能与岩浆的粘度密切相关,基性程度相对较高的岩浆向上运移速度更快,因而侵位更早。  相似文献

Turbulent fluxes from Helipod flights above quasi-homogeneous patches within the LITFASS area     

Jens Bange  Thomas Spieß  Marcus Herold  Frank Beyrich  Barbara Hennemuth 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2006,121(1):127-151

Turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat were measured with the helicopter-borne turbulence probe Helipod over a heterogeneous landscape around the Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg during the STINHO-2 and LITFASS-2003 field experiments. Besides the determination of area-averaged heat fluxes, the analysis focused on different aspects of the response of the turbulent structure of the convective boundary layer (CBL) on the surface heterogeneity. A special flight pattern was designed to study flux profiles both over quasi-homogeneous sub-areas of the study region (representing the major land use types—forest, farmland, water) and over a typical mixture of the different surfaces. Significant differences were found between the heat fluxes over the individual surfaces along flight legs at about 80 m above ground level, in agreement with large-aperture scintillometer measurements. This flux separation was still present during some flights at levels near the middle of the CBL. Different scales for the blending height and horizontal heterogeneity were calculated, but none of them could be identified as a reliable indicator of the mixing state of the lower CBL. With the exception of the flights over water, the latent heat flux measurements generally showed a larger statistical error when compared with the sensible heat flux. Correlation coefficients a nd integral length scales were used to characterise the interplay between the vertical transport of sensible and latent heat, which was found to vary between ‘fairly correlated’ and ‘decoupled’, also depending on the soil moisture conditions.  相似文献   

The influence of grain-size analysis methods and sediment mixing on curve shapes and textural parameters: Implications for sediment trend analysis   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Burghard W. Flemming 《Sedimentary Geology》2007,202(3):425-435

To this day, deterministic physical models capable of explaining the evolution of grain-size distributions in the course of transport are still lacking. For this reason, various attributes of particle frequency distributions, in particular curve shapes and textural parameters, have for many decades been investigated for potential information about transport behaviour and size-sorting processes of sediments in numerous environments. Such approaches are essentially conceptual and hence rely heavily on the validity of the assumptions on which they are based. A factor which has to date been largely ignored in this context, is the fact that different methods of grain-size analysis (e. g. sieving, laser absorption and diffraction, settling velocity measurements), when applied to the same sample material, produce variable curve shapes, and hence incongruous textural data. This is illustrated by selected examples showing the differences between sieving and settling results, conversion of settling velocities into equivalent settling diameters (psi-phi-transformations), and the influences of particle shape, particle density, and water temperature. It is demonstrated that particle-size distributions are not only method-dependent but also dependent on the adopted post-processing procedure. As a result, only frequency curves generated by the same method and subsequently processed by identical computational procedures can be meaningfully compared. Furthermore, the computation of textural parameters from bi- or multimodal size distributions produces spurious results which are unrelated to the processes leading to the mixing of different size populations frequently observed in nature. In such cases, only the decomposition of such distributions into individual populations and the spatial comparison of such populations makes any sense. Because a physical explanation for the generation of size distributions is lacking, a particular curve shape of a grain-size population has no meaning on its own. Only a systematic comparison of progressively changing curve shapes (and associated textural parameters) of sediments collected on a closely spaced grid can yield data suitable for sediment trend analysis.  相似文献   

Bulk-rock geochemistry and plagioclase zoning in lavas exposed along the northern flank of the Western Blanco Depression (Northeast Pacific): Insight into open-system magma chamber processes   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The present study is based on a set of lavas and crosscutting dikes collected by dives along detailed vertical transects on the northern flank of the western part of the Blanco Transform Fault, Northeast Pacific. The studied area consists of a small basin, the Western Blanco Depression (WBD), extending from the southern end of the Juan de Fuca ridge to a pseudofault trace 60 km eastward. The Northern Scarp of the WBD comprises a volcanic unit overlying a sheeted-dike complex. Major and trace element data, coupled with Sr–Nd isotope ratios, reveal a two-component mantle source, composed by an isotopically depleted matrix variably veined by more enriched material. One chemical group (NS2), indistinguishable from the other Northern Scarp samples on the basis of trace element data, has an unusually depleted isotopic composition typical of a nearly pure mantle end-member. Some cogenetic samples of the Northern Scarp have been used to constrain the differentiation modalities. Anorthite and MgO content profiles in plagioclase xenocrysts and phenocrysts reveal (i) the existence of H₂O-bearing evolved melts in the mushy zones and (ii) the occurrence of mixing process between these melts and anhydrous mafic liquids. The hydration is supported by other petrographic features such as high magmatic fO₂ values, calculated from Fe–Ti oxide pairs, and the presence of pyroxene inclusions in plagioclase phenocrysts. Mixing, consistent with the existence of Ni-rich ferrobasalts, is interpreted to be the consequence of the reservoir refilling by mafic liquids (Mg# = 70). These petrological and geochemical evidences are combined with the evolution of Mg# with depth to suggest a periodic open-system magma chamber evolution beneath the southern end of the Juan de Fuca ridge.  相似文献
