白云鄂博碳酸岩的方解石-白云石地质温度计   总被引：6，自引：2，他引：4

利用方解石-白云石地质温度计对白云鄂博地区碳酸岩的平衡温度进行了测定。出露于东矿下盘的白云岩质火山岩和出露于尖山的方解石-白云石型火山岩获得了较高的温度,分别为681℃和648℃。这些样品中的方解石呈二十微米左右晶形较完整的小片,被稍大粒度的白云石颗粒包裹,未受交代作用影响,推测这种碳酸岩在快速冷却的情况下保存下了其岩浆侵位时的成分特点,从而指示出接近碳酸岩浆侵位时的温度。但本区多数碳酸岩的平衡温度在400～500℃之间,有下列三种情况:(1)具有自形-半自形中粗粒粒状变晶结构的碳酸岩最后的平衡温度为415～496℃;(2)产自东矿的其余样品(火山岩),所测最后平衡温度为431～485℃,在测温的微区范围内可见极细粒白云石方解石与稀土等矿物共生的现象;(3)为交代重结晶结构的碳酸岩明显受到后期热液流体的交代,在流体的作用下共生方解石和白云石在成分上达到新的平衡,平衡温度为432～507℃。本文所分析的样品多数结果(371～507℃)与用白云石(方解石)和磁铁矿氧同位素温度计对白云鄂博碳酸岩的计算结果(360～546℃)十分一致。虽然有研究者对方解石-白云石温度计用于火成碳酸岩表示过质疑,但本文资料表明火成碳酸岩最后的平衡温度是可以运用方解石-白云石温度计法来计算的。  相似文献   

Analysis of oscillations in the stable atmospheric boundary layer using wavelet methods     

E.?Terradellas  M.?R.?SolerEmail author  E.?Ferreres  M.?Bravo 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2005,114(3):489-518

A wavelet method is used to estimate kinetic energy and fluxes from data collected under stable conditions during the CASES-99 field campaign. Results in the high frequency range are compared with those obtained by the traditional method used to estimate turbulent moments, which is based on the Reynolds decomposition of variables into a mean and a turbulent part. The fact that the wavelet transform performs much better as a filter than the averaging process accounts for most of the disagreements between results. Since the wavelet method can be applied at very different spectral ranges, it is also used to analyse two different coherent structures: a density current and a train of internal gravity waves. The strong burst of turbulence related to the density current reflects the complexity of the first event. The wavelet method discriminates the different scales of motion, which are present in the perturbation, and is therefore an ideal tool for assessing the interactions between them. A method based on the phase difference between wavelet-transformed time series is then applied to the analysis of the horizontal and vertical structure of the gravity waves, and a three-dimensional image of the oscillations is provided.  相似文献   

Impact of projected climate change on hydrologic regime of the Upper Paraguay River basin   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Juan Martín Bravo  Walter Collischonn  Adriano Rolim da Paz  Daniel Allasia  Federico Domecq 《Climatic change》2014,127(1):27-41

We present an assessment of climate change impacts on the hydrologic regime of the 600,000 km² Upper Paraguay River basin, located in central South America based on predictions of 20 Atmospheric/Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs). We considered two climate change scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and two 30-years time intervals centered at 2030 and 2070. Projected temperature and precipitation anomalies estimated by the AOGCMs for the study site are spatially downscaled. Time series of projected temperature and precipitation were estimated using the delta change approach. These time series were used as input to a detailed coupled hydrologic-hydraulic model aiming to estimate projected streamflow in climate change scenarios at several control points in the basin. Results show that impacts on streamflow are highly dependent on the AOGCM used to obtain the climate predictions. Patterns of temperature increase persist over the entire year for almost all AOGCMs resulting in an increase in the evapotranspiration rate of the hydrological model. The precipitation anomalies show large dispersion, being projected as either an increase or decrease in precipitation rates. Based on these inputs, results from the coupled hydrologic-hydraulic model show nearly one half of projections as increasing river discharge, and other half as decreasing river discharge. If the mean or median of the predictions is considered, no discernible change in river discharge should be expected, despite the dispersion among results of the AOGCMs that reached +/?10 % in the short horizon and +/? 20 % in the long horizon, at several control points.  相似文献   

A solar scenario for the associated occurrence of flares, eruptive prominences, coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, and interplanetary shocks     

S. Bravo 《Solar physics》1995,161(1):57-65

The observation of non-corotating shock fronts in interplanetary space is always associated with the previous occurrence of a coronal mass ejection (CME), which is frequently accompanied by a flare or a prominence eruption. When looking at the solar region of origin of these events, a coronal hole is always found. Here we propose a scenario at the Sun where all these related events can find a place.  相似文献   

Partition of arsenic in soils sediments and the origin of naturally elevated concentrations in groundwater of the southern pampa region (Argentina)     

María del Carmen Blanco  Juan Darío Paoloni  Hector Morrás  Carmen Fiorentino  Mario Eduardo Sequeira  Nilda N. Amiotti  Oscar Bravo  Silvana Diaz  Martín Espósito 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2012,66(7):2075-2084

Excessive arsenic concentrations above the Argentinean and WHO guidelines for drinking water (10 μg L⁻¹) affects shallow aquifers of the southern Pampean Plain (Argentina) hosted in the Pampean and the Post Pampean formations (loess and reworked loess; Plio-Pleistocene–Holocene). Health problems related to high As concentrations in drinking waters are known as Endemic Regional Chronic Hydroarsenicism. Hydrochemistry of shallow groundwaters and soil geochemistry were investigated aiming to (1) understand the partition of As in the solid phase and its relationship with unacceptable As concentrations in waters, (2) identify the provision source of As to groundwaters. Only 5% of the samples had As concentrations <10 μg L⁻¹; in 27% As concentrations ranged from 10 to 50 μg L⁻¹ and in 58% it reached 60–500 μg L⁻¹. The coarse fraction (50–2,000 μm) hosts about 27% of the total As in the solid phase, being positively correlated to Ba (p < 0.01; r ² = 0.93). About 70% is included in the <2 μm fraction and had positive correlations of As–Fe (p < 0.05; r ² = 0.85) and As–Cr (p < 0.05; r ² = 0.68). Soils and sediment sand fractions of vadose zones are the primary sources of As in shallow groundwater while adsorption–desorption processes, codisolution–coprecipitation, and evaporation during the dry seasons raise As concentrations in waters exceeding the guideline value for drinking water.  相似文献   

Social studies of volcanology: knowledge generation and expert advice on active volcanoes   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

Amy Donovan  Clive Oppenheimer  Michael Bravo 《Bulletin of Volcanology》2012,74(3):677-689

This paper examines the philosophy and evolution of volcanological science in recent years, particularly in relation to the growth of volcanic hazard and risk science. It uses the lens of Science and Technology Studies to examine the ways in which knowledge generation is controlled and directed by social forces, particularly during eruptions, which constitute landmarks in the development of new technologies and models. It also presents data from a survey of volcanologists carried out during late 2008 and early 2009. These data concern the felt purpose of the science according to the volcanologists who participated and their impressions of the most important eruptions in historical time. It demonstrates that volcanologists are motivated both by the academic science environment and by a social concern for managing the impact of volcanic hazards on populations. Also discussed are the eruptions that have most influenced the discipline and the role of scientists in policymaking on active volcanoes. Expertise in volcanology can become the primary driver of public policy very suddenly when a volcano erupts, placing immense pressure on volcanologists. In response, the epistemological foundations of volcanology are on the move, with an increasing volume of research into risk assessment and management. This requires new, integrated methodologies for knowledge collection that transcend scientific disciplinary boundaries.  相似文献   

Characteristics of observed strong motion accelerograms from the 2011 Lorca (Spain) Earthquake     

L. Cabañas  J. M. Alcalde  E. Carreño  J. B. Bravo 《Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering》2014,12(5):1909-1932

The Lorca earthquake (southeast Spain) on May 11, 2011; Mw 5.1, and its aftershocks, have provided an important set of accelerograms recorded by the strong motion network of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of Spain. It is particularly noticeable that the record obtained in Lorca town, very near of the fault rupture, presents a PGA value close to 0.37 g in the N30W component. This paper provides an overview of the strong motion data recorded during the Lorca seismic series, with particular attention to the accelerograms from the mainshock and foreshock and its characteristics. Due to the special circumstances of these two records, a more detailed processing has been required, in which various alternatives to adjust the baseline have been considered and analyzed. Based on this special processing, small residual displacements were obtained and reported in some of these cases. However, given the sensitivity of the process and the small obtained values, these findings should be taken with caution. Besides, response spectra have been analyzed and compared with design spectra proposed by the Spanish Seismic Code (NCSE-02) for the towns of Lorca, Alhama de Murcia and Mula. Large amplitude differences were observed in these spectra if compared to those recorded in Lorca. Also noteworthy is that the design spectra proposed for this town were exceeded by some horizontal directions of the response spectra.  相似文献   

Hydrological implications of land use and land cover change: Spatial analytical approach at regional scale in the closed basin of the Cuitzeo Lake,Michoacan, Mexico     

M.E. Mendoza  G. Bocco  E. López‐Granados  M. Bravo Espinoza 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2010,31(2):197-214

A spatially distributed water balance model was used to assess the influence of regional land use and land cover change in a poorly gauged basin for the years 1975 and 2000. To carry out this study in the Cuitzeo Lake basin in Michoacan, Mexico, remote sensing and geographic information system tools were integrated in the water balance model. In addition, a transition matrix analysis was used to determine the dynamic change of categories of related hydrologic processes. The analysis of the water balance components, based on landforms and transition matrix, indicated a tendency of improvement in the regional hydrologic conditions in the basin. As a consequence of urban land use growth, however, plains and footslopes of the basin showed an increase of runoff values. In addition, in both years, the topographic lower sections of the basin exhibited a high demand for water from the increased urban land use, along with degradation of Cuitzeo Lake, particularly by pollution and reduction of water supply. The approach used here is suitable for understanding the change in quantity and spatial distribution of water available in poorly gauged basins.  相似文献
