Periglacial trimlines and nunataks of the Last Glacial Maximum: the Gap of Dunloe,southwest Ireland

During the last main phase of glaciation (26–13 ka) an ice‐cap developed in southwest Ireland and ice, from a dispersal centre in the vicinity of Kenmare, flowed north through the Gap of Dunloe in the Macgillycuddy's Reeks. On surrounding hillsides a weathering limit separates ice‐moulded bedrock, on low ground, from frost‐weathered terrain above. Assessment of bedrock dilation joint characteristics, Schmidt hammer R‐value data and clay‐sized mineral contents of basal soil samples, demonstrate significant contrasts in the degree of weathering above and below this limit. The weathering limit declines in altitude along former ice flow‐lines and is confluent with morainic deposits on the eastern side of the Gap. This supports the assertion that the high‐level weathering limit is a periglacial trimline that marks the former maximum upper limit of the body of ice which occupied the Gap of Dunloe during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Reconstruction of the former ice‐surface profile from periglacial trimline limits on the eastern side of the Gap yields a mean estimate for basal shear stress of 106.5 kPa. This value suggests that the ice mass which occupied the Gap of Dunloe at the LGM was warm based and flowed on a bedrock substrate. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

日珥谱线不对称性的研究——Ⅱ.源函数对谱线轮廓的影响     

陈建  林元章 《中国天文和天体物理学报》1987,(4)

作为文献[1]中工作的继续,本文用解析方法论证了日珥源函数随深度变化与各种速度场结合对谱线轮廓对称性的影响。得到的结论为:(1)常速度场与源函数随深度任意分布结合的谱线为对称轮廓;(2)源函数自日珥中心向前后边界线性对称增大与速度场为线性对称膨胀结合的谱线轮廓为不对称轮廓,且呈双峰结构,紫峰高于红峰;(3)源函数自日珥中心向前后边界线性增大与速度场为线性对称压缩结合的谱线轮廓是不对称的,且呈双峰结构,红峰高于紫峰;(4)源函数自日珥中心向前后边界对称减少与速度场为线性对称膨胀或线性对称压缩结合的谱线为非对称轮廓,原则上也会出现双峰结构,但可能不明显。最后,用数值计算对理论分析结果作了检验。 本文作为文[1]的继续,将用解析方法讨论源函数随深度变化对日珥谱线轮廓对称性的影响。首先讨论速度场为常数源函数随深度任意变化时谱线轮廓的对称性问题,然后讨论速度场自日珥中心对称膨胀或对称压缩与源函数自日珥中心向外边界对称增大或对称下降相结合的模型中,日珥谱线的对称性问题。  相似文献

Ray equation migration of wide-angle reflections in Dabie orogenic zone     

Xu-Yao Zheng  Chun-Yong Wang  Xiao-Ling Lai  Xian-Kang Zhang 《地震学报(英文版)》1998,11(2):197-206

Ray equation migration of wide-angle reflections in 2-D medium is one kind of Kirchhoff prestack depth migration method. Based on ray theory, this method can be used extensively in 2-D inhomogeneous medium, and shows its advantage in wide-angle reflection study. After calculating ray fields, we can get the wave fields of sources and receivers by interpolation, and the intensity (or amplitude) A _p corresponding to the depth point P at travel-time t _P =t _SP +t _PR can be found in seismograms. Ray equation migration is completed by transforming A _P according to the specific relation, migrating it to the depth point, then calculating the ray fields of lots of sources and receivers in the same way and finally stacking the outcomes. Numerical calculation has yielded satisfactory results. Data processing of the Zhuangmu-Yuexi-Huangmei-Zhanggondu profile passing through the Dabie orogenic zone provides a structural form of M-discontinuity along the profile. The result shows that the high pressure metamorphic rock zone of South Dabie rock mass is related to the uplifting of M-discontinuity here. "Mountain root" exists under North Dabie rock mass, which conforms with gravity isostasy theory. The Xiaotian-Mozitan fault is a suture zone as a result of the collision of North China plate with Yangtze plate, and extends through M-discontinuity. The abyssal fault near Liu’an is the extended eastern section of the Luonan-Minggang fault, which is also confirmed here.

利用卫星观测臭氧总含量ＴＯＭＳ（第７版）资料,在剔除季节变化后对全球６０°Ｓ－６０°Ｎ范围首先进行了沿纬度分布的线性趋势和周期分析。结果表明：自本世纪７０年代末,各纬带上的臭氧总量都呈下降趋势,强度随纬度升高而加剧,并发现总体上北半球臭氧的下降趋势较南半球更加明显;同时证实了准两年振荡是臭氧变化中除年周期外最显著的周期。并对臭氧变化中的准两年振荡作了遥相关分析;发现准两年振荡在强度和位相上基本呈纬向分布并主要表现出赤道对称的特征。１３５～１７０°Ｅ地区臭氧总量变化所表现出的不同于其它地区的原因可能是这一地区常年频繁出现的对流活动;而臭氧总量下降趋势表现出的北半球同纬度地区均大于南半球的南北半球差异可能是由两半球人类活动的差异引起  相似文献   

CALCULATION OF AIR-MASS FACTORS FOR O₃          下载免费PDF全文

Chen Hongbin  Wang Pucai  Jacqueline Lenoble 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1998,12(4):425-428

In conversion of the integrated slant column amount of atmospheric ozone(O₃) measured by the ground-based spectrometer technique during twilight to the vertical quantity,the air-mass factor(AMF) is an important parameter.In this work,calculations of AMF for ozone were performed for different atmospheres.It is shown that the O₃ AMF has seasonal variations with the minimum at the beginning of spring and the maximum in summer due to the seasonal change in the vertical distributions of O₃.A parameterization relation is obtained between O₃ AMF and optical thickness of stratospheric volcanic aerosols based on the Monte-Carlo radiative transfer simulations.  相似文献   

Trace Gas Measurements Between Moscow and Vladivostok Using the Trans-Siberian Railroad

Using a laboratory wagon traveling along the Trans-Siberian railroad, O₃, NO, NO₂, CO, CH₄, SF₆ and black carbon aerosol have been measured during the summer of 1996. The expedition from Niznij Novgorod (500 km east of Moscow) to Vladivostok (and back to Moscow) has shown the great potential of the train method; here the first results are presented and discussed. A wealth of boundary layer air data was obtained during the over 18000 km travel without serious contamination problems from the electric train itself. The diurnal O₃ cycle peaked generally below 50 nmole/mole, showed the effects of changes in J(NO₂), and often dropped to a few nmole/mole at night time during inversions. Over the vast Siberian lowlands situated between the Ural mountains and the river Yenisey, CH₄ levels were consistently elevated at around 1.95 µmole/mole, which we mainly attribute to wetland emissions. Over eastern Siberia, however, CH₄ levels were generally lower at 1.85 µmole/mole. In contrast, over the west Siberian lowlands, CO levels were relatively low, often reaching values of only 110 nmole/mole, whereas over eastern Siberia CO levels were higher. Very high CO levels were detected over a 2000 km section east of Chita, along the river Amur, which represented an enormous polluted air mass. ¹⁴C analysis performed on several CO samples confirms that the origin was biomass burning. SF₆, which was measured as a general conserved tracer, showed an eastward attenuation from 4.0 to 3.9 pmole/mole, with peaks in a number of places due to local Russian emissions.  相似文献   

Peroxy Radical Kinetics Resulting from the OH-Initiated Oxidation of 1,3-Butadiene, 2,3-Dimethyl-1,3-Butadiene and Isoprene     

Michael E. Jenkin  Andrew A. Boyd  Robert Lesclaux 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1998,29(3):267-298

The laser flash photolysis/UV absorption spectrometry technique has been used to investigate the kinetics of the peroxy radical permutation reactions (i.e. self and cross reactions) arising from the OH-initiated oxidation of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene), and of the simpler, but related conjugated dienes, 1,3-butadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene. The results of the two simpler systems are analysed to provide values of the rate coefficients for the 6 peroxy radical permutation reactions of the three types of isomeric peroxy radical produced in each system (T = 298 K, P = 760 Torr). The rate coefficients are all significantly larger than values estimated previously by extrapolation of structure-reactivity relationships based on the kinetics of a limited dataset of simpler radicals containing similar structural features. The results are discussed in terms of trends in self and cross reaction reactivity of primary, secondary and tertiary peroxy radicals containing combinations of allyl, -hydroxy and -hydroxy functionalities. Since the peroxy radicals formed in these systems are structurally very similar to those formed in the isoprene system, the kinetic parameters derived from the results of the simpler systems are used to assist the assignment of kinetic parameters to the 21 permutation reactions of the six types of isomeric peroxy radical generated in the isoprene system. Kinetic models describing the OH-initiated degradation of all three conjugated dienes to first generation products in the absence of NO_x are recommended, which are also consistent with available end product studies. The model for isoprene is considered to be a further improvement on that suggested previously for its OH-initiated oxidation in the absence of NO_x. The mechanism is further extended to include chemistry applicable to NO_x-present conditions, and calculated product yields are compared with those reported in the literature.  相似文献

NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS ON THE TIBL PROFILES AND THE LOCAL SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION IN COASTAL AREAS     

王卫国  蒋维楣 《热带气象学报(英文版)》1998,4(1):72-78

A two-dimensional nonlinear PBL numerical model using an energy closure (E-ε)method has been employed to study the sea breeze circulation and TIBL in coastal areas. The main characteristics of sea breeze obtained from numerical experiments agree with those from general observation facts. The depth of sea breeze ranges from 300 to 900 meters, maximum velocity from 1.5 m/s to 4 m/s, and its height from 100 m to 300 m. The agreement between comparisons reveals that the performance of the model is good, and the selected experiment conditions are reasonable. This paper refits the function of TIBL profiles using the Weisman's formula and the exponent value is considered to change with the different states of sea breeze. Numerical experiment results indicate that the exponent of the TIBL profile, ranging from 0.4 to 1.1, is related to the strength and depth of the sea breeze. The exponent of 0.5 is suitable only when sea breeze is fully developed. This paper also gives various exponents under different sea breezes.  相似文献
