To investigate regional and interannual variability of the ecosystem in the Southern Ocean, a coupled circumpolar ice–ocean–plankton model has been developed. The ice–ocean component (known as BRIOS-2) is based on a modified version of the s-coordinate primitive equation model (SPEM) coupled to a dynamic–thermodynamic sea-ice model. The biological model (BIMAP) comprises two biogeochemical cycles – silica and nitrogen – and a prognostic iron compartment to include possible effects of micronutrient limitation. Simulations with the coupled ice–ocean–plankton model indicate that the physical–biological interaction is not limited to the effect of a varying surface mixed-layer depth. In the Pacific sector, large anomalies in winter mixed-layer depth cause an increased iron supply and enhance primary production and plankton biomass in the following summer, whereas in the Atlantic sector variability in primary production is caused mainly by fluctuations of oceanic upwelling. Thus, the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW) induces regional oscillations of phytoplankton biomass in both sectors, but not a propagating signal. Furthermore, interannual variability in plankton biomass and primary production is strong in the Coastal and Continental Shelf Zone and the Seasonal Ice Zone around the Antarctic continent. Interannual variability induced by the ACW has large effects on the regional scale, but the associated variability in biogenic carbon fluxes is small compared to the long-term carbon sequestration of the Southern Ocean. 相似文献

Consequences of coastal upwelling events on physical and chemical patterns in the central Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The consequences of a coastal upwelling event on physical and chemical patterns were studied in the central Gulf of Finland. Weekly mapping of hydrographical and -chemical fields were carried out across the Gulf between Tallinn and Helsinki in July–August 2006. In each survey, vertical profiles of temperature and salinity were recorded at 27 stations and water samples for chemical analyses (PO43−, NO2−+NO3−) were collected at 14 stations along the transect. An ordinary distribution of hydrophysical and -chemical variables with the seasonal thermocline at the depths of 10–20 m was observed in the beginning of the measurements in July. Nutrient concentrations in the upper mixed layer were below the detection limit and nutriclines were located just below or in the lower part of the thermocline. In the first half of August, a very intense upwelling event occurred near the southern coast of the Gulf when waters with low temperature and high salinity from the intermediate layer surfaced. High nutrient concentrations were measured in the upwelled water – 0.4 μmol l−1 of phosphates and 0.6 μmol l−1 of nitrates+nitrites. We estimated the amount of nutrients transported into the surface layer as 238–290 tons of phosphorus (P)-PO43− and 175–255 tons of N-NOx for a 12 m thick, 20 km wide and 100 km long coastal stretch. Taking into account a characteristic along-shore extension of the upwelling of 200 km, the phosphate-phosphorus amount is approximately equal to the average total monthly riverine load of phosphorus to the Gulf of Finland. It is shown that TS-characteristics of water masses and vertical distribution of nutrients along the study transect experienced drastic changes caused by the upwelling event in the entire studied water column. TS-analysis of profiles obtained before and during the upwelling event suggests that while welled up, the cold intermediate layer water was mixed with the water from the upper mixed layer with a share of 85% and 15%. We suggest that the coastal upwelling events contribute remarkably to the vertical mixing of waters in the Gulf of Finland. Intrusions of nutrient-rich waters along the inclined isopycnal surfaces in the vicinity of upwelling front were revealed. The upwelling event widened the separation of phosphocline and nitracline which in turn prevented surfacing of nitrate+nitrite-nitrogen during the next upwelling event observed a week after the upwelling relaxation. A suggestion is made that such widening of nutricline separation caused by similar upwelling events in early summer could create favourable conditions for late summer cyanobacterial blooms. 相似文献

Fisheries have been vital to coastal communities around the North Sea for centuries, but this semi-enclosed sea also receives large amounts of waste. It is therefore important to monitor and control inputs of contaminants into the North Sea. Inputs of effluents from offshore oil and gas production platforms (produced water) in the Norwegian sector have been monitored through an integrated chemical and biological effects programme since 2001. The programme has used caged Atlantic cod and blue mussels. PAH tissue residues in blue mussels and PAH bile metabolites in cod have confirmed exposure to effluents, but there was variation between years. Results for a range of biological effects methods reflected exposure gradients and indicated that exposure levels were low and caused minor environmental impact at the deployment locations. There is a need to develop methods that are sufficiently sensitive to components in produced water at levels found in marine ecosystems. 相似文献

In-situ stresses have significant impact, either positive or negative, on the short and long term behaviour of fractured reservoirs. The knowledge of the stress conditions are therefore important for planning and utilization of man-made geothermal reservoirs. The geothermal field Groß Schönebeck (40 km north of Berlin/Germany) belongs to the key sites in the northeastern German Basin. We present a stress state determination for this Lower Permian (Rotliegend) reservoir by an integrated approach of 3D structural modelling, 3D fault mapping, stress ratio definition based on frictional constraints, and slip-tendency analysis. The results indicate stress ratios of the minimum horizontal stress S hmin being equal or increasing 0.55 times the amount of the vertical stress S V (S hmin ≥ 0.55S V ) and of the maximum horizontal stress S Hmax ≤ 0.78–1.00S V in stress regimes from normal to strike slip faulting. Thus, acting stresses in the 4,100-m deep reservoir are S V = 100 MPa, S hmin = 55 MPa and S Hmax = 78?100 MPa. Values from hydraulic fracturing support these results. Various fault sets of the reservoir are characterized in terms of their potential to conduct geothermal fluids based on their slip and dilatation tendency. This combined approach can be adopted to any other geothermal site investigation. 相似文献

Vertical dynamics of summer phytoplankton in a stratified estuary (Gulf of Finland,Baltic Sea) 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

We present the results of multiparametric observations designed to follow the phytoplankton dynamics and interrelated physical,
chemical and biological processes in the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea). Data were acquired by an autonomous moored water column
profiler, an acoustic Doppler current profiler, a flow-through system installed aboard a ferry and by profiling and discrete
water sampling aboard research vessels in July and August 2009. The main aim of the study was to investigate the processes
responsible for the formation and maintenance of sub-surface maxima of phytoplankton biomass. We suggest that the environmental
conditions caused by the prevailing atmospheric and oceanographic forcing (wind; vertical stratification; basin-wide, mesoscale
and sub-mesoscale processes) are preferred by certain species/taxonomic groups and explain the migration patterns of phytoplankton.
Nocturnal downward migration of phytoplankton with a swimming speed up to 1.6 m h−1 occurred when the community was dominated by the dinoflagellate Heterocapsa triquetra. The observed splitting of the population into two vertically separated biomass maxima suggests that the H. triquetra cells, which reached the sub-surface layers with high nutrient concentrations, experienced bi-diurnal or asynchronous (when
swimming upwards) vertical migration. The most intense sub-surface biomass maxima, on some occasions with the biomass much
higher than that in the surface layer, were detected in connection to the sub-mesoscale intrusions below the depth of the
strongest vertical density gradient. 相似文献

We continue the work that was initiated in (K. H. Karlsen, K.-A. Lie, and N. H. Risebro. A fast marching method for reservoir
simulation. Comp. Geo., 4(2) (2000)185–206) on a marching method for simulating two-phase incompressible immiscible flow of water and oil in a porous
medium. We first present an alternative derivation of the marching method that reveals a strong connection to modern streamline
methods. Then, through the study of three numerical test cases we present two deficiencies: (i) the original marching algorithm
does not always compute the correct solution of the underlying difference equations, and (ii) the method gives largely inaccurate
arrival times in the presence of large jumps within the upwind difference stencil. As a remedy of the first problem, we present
a new advancing-front method, which is faster than the original marching method and guarantees a correct solution of the underlying
discrete linear system. To cure the second problem, we present two adaptive strategies that avoid the use of finite-difference
stencils containing large jumps in the arrival times. The original marching method was introduced as a fast tool for simulating
two-phase flow scenarios in heterogeneous formations. The new advancing-front method has limited applicability in this respect,
but may rather be used as a fast and relatively accurate method for computing arrival times and derived quantities in heterogeneous
media. 相似文献

We consider a discontinuous Galerkin scheme for computing transport in heterogeneous media. An efficient solution of the resulting linear system of equations is possible by taking advantage of a priori knowledge of the direction of flow. By arranging the elements in a suitable sequence, one does not need to assemble the full system and may compute the solution in an element-by-element fashion. We demonstrate this procedure on boundary-value problems for tracer transport and time-of-flight. 相似文献

Adaptation to climate change and variability: farmer responses to intra-seasonal precipitation trends in South Africa 总被引：11，自引：1，他引：11
We describe the nature of recent (50 year) rainfall variability in the summer rainfall zone, South Africa, and how variability
is recognised and responded to on the ground by farmers. Using daily rainfall data and self-organising mapping (SOM) we identify
12 internally homogeneous rainfall regions displaying differing parameters of precipitation change. Three regions, characterised
by changing onset and timing of rains, rainfall frequencies and intensities, in Limpopo, North West and KwaZulu Natal provinces,
were selected to investigate farmer perceptions of, and responses to, rainfall parameter changes. Village and household level
analyses demonstrate that the trends and variabilities in precipitation parameters differentiated by the SOM analysis were
clearly recognised by people living in the areas in which they occurred. A range of specific coping and adaptation strategies
are employed by farmers to respond to climate shifts, some generic across regions and some facilitated by specific local factors.
The study has begun to understand the complexity of coping and adaptation, and the factors that influence the decisions that
are taken. 相似文献
