Methods for medium-term prediction of the net sediment transport by waves and currents in complex coastal regions     

Jennifer M. Brown  Alan G. Davies 《Continental Shelf Research》2009,29(11-12):1502-1514

Medium-term prediction of sediment transport and morphological behaviour in the coastal zone is becoming increasingly important as a result of human interference and changing environmental conditions. The interaction of waves and tides is shown to play a pivotal role in the net (annual) sediment transport and morphodynamics of the coastal zone. The Telemac Modelling System has been applied to the Dyfi Estuary and neighbouring coastline, mid Wales, to recreate the annual wave–current conditions and the resulting sediment fluxes. ‘Input reduction’ methods have been required to produce realistic schematisations of events in practical computation times. A field campaign carried out in 2006 provided data for validation of the flow module (Telemac-2D) and also observations to verify the patterns predicted by the wave module (Tomawac). To improve model accuracy refinements were implemented with regard to the sand transport formulation used in the sand transport module (Sisyphe). Here, a parameterisation of the results from the UWB 1DV sand transport ‘research’ model, for the conditions in the Dyfi Estuary, has been introduced, allowing Sisyphe to provide greater realism in the morphological predictions. The model predictions are presented along with a discussion of the success/failure and limitations of the modelling methods applied.  相似文献   

Fractionation of U,Th, Ra and Pb from boreal forest soils by sequential extractions     

《Applied Geochemistry》2013

To determine the mobility of natural radionuclides in boreal forest soil, a five-step sequential extraction procedure was carried out on soil samples taken from various depths down to 3 m on Olkiluoto Island, Finland, where there are plans to construct a spent nuclear fuel disposal repository in the bedrock. The extracted fractions studied were exchangeable, acid-soluble, reducible, oxidizable and tightly bound. It was found that the extractability of most of the radionuclides studied was dependent on the sample grain size and depth. All the elements were concentrated in the smallest grain size samples (<0.063 mm). The extraction behaviour of Th, however, did not vary with sample depth, and only about 10% of the Th was extracted by the time of the final extraction step. Stable Pb and ²¹⁰Pb, as well as Ba and Ra concentrations were strongly correlated in the extractions. Radium and Ba were leached more readily than the other elements; approximately 17% of the total Ra was found in the first fraction extracted, representing exchangeable ions. Uranium was more mobile in the topsoil horizons than in the lower horizons. In the topsoil samples, an average of 51% of the extractable U was leached in the second extraction step, representing the elements soluble in weak acids, whereas only 13% of the U in the subsoil samples was extracted in this step. This is probably due to changes in soil redox conditions lower down the soil profile. The extraction behaviour of Pb and Fe also suggests the presence of more reducing conditions in the deeper soil horizons, because the percentage of extractable Pb and Fe in the oxidizable fraction increased with sample depth.  相似文献   

Monitoring cyanobacteria-dominant algal blooms in eutrophicated Taihu Lake in China with synthetic aperture radar images     

王甘霖  李俊生  张兵  申茜  张方方 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2015,33(1):139-148

Monitoring algal blooms by optical remote sensing is limited by cloud cover.In this study,synthetic aperture radar(SAR) was deployed with the aim of monitoring cyanobacteria-dominant algal blooms in Taihu Lake in cloudy weather.The study shows that dark regions in the SAR images caused by cyanobacterial blooms damped the microwave backscatter of the lake surface and were consistent with the regions of algal blooms in quasi-synchronous optical images,confirming the applicability of SAR for detection of surface blooms.Low backscatter may also be associated with other factors such as low wind speeds,resulting in interference when monitoring algal blooms using SAR data alone.After feature extraction and selection,the dark regions were classified by the support vector machine method with an overall accuracy of 67.74%.SAR can provide a reference point for monitoring cyanobacterial blooms in the lake,particularly when weather is not suitable for optical remote sensing.Multi-polarization and multi-band SAR can be considered for use in the future to obtain more accurate information regarding algal blooms from SAR data.  相似文献   

Molecular cloning of the heat shock protein 20 gene from Paphia textile and its expression in response to heat shock     

李佳凯  武祥伟  谭茎  赵瑞祥  邓凌韦  刘贤德 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2015,33(4):919-927

P. textile is an important aquaculture species in China and is mainly distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi Provinces. In this study, an HSP20 c DNA designated Pt HSP20 was cloned from P. textile. The full-length c DNA of Pt HSP20 is 1 090 bp long and contains a 5′ untranslated region(UTR) of 93 bp, a 3′ UTR of 475 bp, and an open reading frame(ORF) of 522 bp. The Pt HSP20 c DNA encodes 173 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 20.22 k Da and an isoelectric point of 6.2. Its predicted amino acid sequence shows that Pt HSP20 contains a typical α-crystallin domain(residues 77–171) and three polyadenylation signal-sequences at the C-terminus. According to an amino acid sequence alignment, Pt HSP20 shows moderate homology to other mollusk s HSPs. Pt HSP20 m RNA was present in all of the test tissues including the heart, digestive gland, adductor muscle, gonad, gill, and mantle, with the highest concentration found in the gonad. Under the stress of high temperature, the expression of Pt HSP20 m RNA was down-regulated in all of the tissues except the adductor muscle and gonad.  相似文献   

Hydrogeochemical models locating sulfate-methane transition zone in marine sediments overlying black shales: A new tool to locate biogenic methane?     

《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2015

Precise hydrogeochemical modeling of early diagenesis is a key in the reconstruction of sedimentary basin models. This determines the mineralogical evolution of the sediment and consequently the porosity of the rock. During early diagenesis also part of the initial organic matter is converted into biogenic gas: CH₄ CO₂, and H₂S. These processes are part of complex reaction chains during sedimentation, and biogeochemical reactions leave different signals that can be observed today. In this work, we reproduce the early diagenetic processes as integrated signals over geological times in sediments of the Demerara Rise by applying chemical thermodynamics using the PHREEQC (version 2) computer code. The investigated sediments are characterized by the presence of black shales in 410–490 mbsf and by a diagenetic barite layer above in 300–350 mbsf at depth of sulfate-methane transition (SMT). We determine the parameters that influence the location of diagenetic barite peaks in sediments overlying black shales by means of a novel modeling approach. Crucial parameters are the amount of bacterial organic matter mineralization, sedimentation rates and bottom water sulfate concentrations. All parameters are intertwining and influence the sulfate-methane cycle. They affect the location of the SMT visualized by diagenetic barite peaks. However, our model approach opens a wide field in exploring early diagenetic reactions, processes and products (such as biogenic methane) over geological times mirrored by diagenetic minerals and pore water concentration profiles that can be detected in present-day sediments.  相似文献   

变质相平衡在研究深熔岩石中的应用     

邓亮鹏 《地质学报》2023,97(2):613-622

下地壳岩石的深熔作用不仅与麻粒岩和花岗岩的形成具有紧密关联,而且在某些构造环境下会对地球动力学演化过程造成影响,因此,对深熔岩石的变质P-T条件的准确估算及对其熔融机制的限定具有重要意义。基于内洽性热力学数据库、THERMOCALC/Perple＿X等程序以及适当的固溶体活度模型,变质相平衡模拟已逐渐成为变质岩石学的常规研究方法,广泛应用于推断天然岩石的矿物共生序列、估算岩石的变质P-T条件等。不仅如此,如果有适当的熔体活度模型,变质相平衡模拟还能估算深熔岩石的熔融温度、压力及熔体比例,以及限定其涉及的熔融反应,并计算熔体、转熔矿物及残余矿物的成分等。针对不同成分岩石,包括花岗质岩石、变泥质岩、变基性岩及橄榄岩在不同压力下产生的熔体,前人陆续提出了对应的活度模型,并且其有效性得到了相关实验数据的验证。随着近年来熔体活度模型的不断更新和完善,变质相平衡模拟有望成为研究自然界深熔岩石的常规方法,为相关的麻粒岩和花岗岩成因研究、相关地球动力学演化研究提供新的思路。  相似文献

江西德兴铜矿田成矿热液演化过程及其对铼差异性富集的制约     

陈涛亮  任志  冷成彪  王安东 《地质学报》2023,97(6):1900-1916

铜厂和富家坞矿床是德兴矿田中两个典型的斑岩铜矿床,二者成矿时代、成矿背景和致矿斑岩均较一致,但前者中辉钼矿的Re含量明显高于后者。为探究成矿流体演化过程对辉钼矿中Re含量差异的影响,本文对铜厂和富家坞不同成矿阶段的石英开展LA- ICP- MS微区原位分析以及流体包裹体测温研究。结果显示,二者流体均具有由高温向低温,中低盐度高盐度共存向低盐度演化的趋势,且温度下降、流体沸腾以及pH值的变化可能是导致Cu、Mo沉淀的主要原因;但就同一成矿阶段而言,铜厂比富家坞成矿温度更低,并且在主成矿阶段,铜厂具有更高的流体盐度;因此,推测温度和盐度可能是导致二者中辉钼矿Re含量差异的主导因素。  相似文献   

太阳活动变化对东亚冬季气候的非对称影响及可能机制   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王瑞丽  肖子牛  朱克云  高枞亭 《大气科学》2015,39(4):815-826

基于1959～2013年的观测和再分析资料以及10.7 cm(2800 MHz)太阳射电通量资料, 本文分析了太阳活动变化与东亚冬季气候的相关关系, 分析结果表明:太阳活动变化与东亚冬季大气环流有较好的相关性, 且在太阳活动的强、弱时期该相关关系存在很大差异, 在强太阳活动时期太阳活动变化与东亚冬季气候的联系更为显著, 而在弱太阳活动时期二者之间的直接联系微弱, 这表明太阳活动变化对东亚冬季气候的影响具有非对称性特征。在太阳活动较强的时期, 随着太阳活动的增强, 东亚中高纬对流层中层的大气环流倾向纬向型, 东亚大槽减弱, 850 hPa出现异常偏南风, 地面上西伯利亚高压以及冬季风减弱, 东亚大部分地区气温显著偏高;而在太阳活动较弱的时期, 太阳活动的年际差异与东亚冬季大气环流之间几乎不存在显著联系。分析太阳活动较强和较弱时期纬向平均纬向风的差异发现, 其间平流层行星波活动、热带西北太平洋海表温度的差异可能是造成这种非对称影响的重要原因。在强太阳活动时期, 平流层行星波在太阳活动的异常增强年有异常的从极地向赤道的水平传播, 高纬地区E-P通量(Eliassen-Palm flux)异常辐散, 导致中高纬西风及北极涛动(AO)增强, 同时热带西北太平洋海温异常偏冷, 海陆热力差异缩小, 大气环流经向度减弱, 东亚冬季风偏弱。  相似文献
