Estimates of monoterpene and isoprene emissions from the forests in Switzerland   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S. Andreani-aksoyoglu  J. Keller 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1995,20(1):71-87

Emission rates of biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted by the forests were estimated for five geographical regions as well as for all Switzerland. Monoterpene and isoprene emissions rates were calculated for each main tree species separately using the relevant parameters such as temperature, light intensity and leaf biomass density. Biogenic emissions from the forests were found to be about 23% of the total annual VOC emissions (anthropogenic and biogenic) in Switzerland. The highest emissions are in July and lowest in January. Calculations showed that the coniferous trees are the main sources of the biogenic emissions. The major contribution comes from the Norway spruce (picea abies) forests due to their abundance and high leaf biomass density. Although broad-leaved forests cover 27% of all the forests in Switzerland, their contribution to the biogenic emissions is only 3%. Monoterpenes are the main species emitted, whereas only 3% is released as isoprene. The highest emission rates of biogenic VOC are estimated to be in the region of the Alps which has the largest forest coverage in Switzerland and the major part of these forests consists of Norway spruce. The total annual biogenic VOC emission rate of 87 ktonnes y^–1 coming from the forests is significantly higher than those from other studies where calculations were carried out by classifying the forests as deciduous and coniferous. The difference is attributed to the high leaf biomass densities of Norway spruce and fir (abies alba) trees which have a strong effect on the results when speciation of trees is taken into account. Besides the annual rate, emission rates were calculated for a specific period during July 4–6, 1991 when a photochemical smog episode was investigated in the Swiss field experiment POLLUMET. Emission rates estimated for that period agree well with those calculated for July using the average temperatures over the last 10 years.  相似文献   

Measurements of Powder Snow Avalanches- Laboratory -     

Stefan Keller 《Surveys in Geophysics》1995,16(5-6):661-670

Laboratory simulation of powder snow avalanches serves for the validation of numerical models and as a tool in its own right for consulting and research purposes. Two-phase gravity currents are simulated in water with quartz powder or glass spheres as the particle phase. Particle-phase velocity profiles and particle-phase volume fraction profiles are measured with an ultrasonic device. The experimental setup and the current state of the measurement technique are described and preliminary results are presented.  相似文献

Modeling forced pool–riffle hydraulics in a boulder-bed stream, southern California     

Lee R. Harrison  Edward A. Keller 《Geomorphology》2007,83(3-4):232-248

The mechanisms which control the formation and maintenance of pool–riffles are fundamental aspects of channel form and process. Most of the previous investigations on pool–riffle sequences have focused on alluvial rivers, and relatively few exist on the maintenance of these bedforms in boulder-bed channels. Here, we use a high-resolution two-dimensional flow model to investigate the interactions among large roughness elements, channel hydraulics, and the maintenance of a forced pool–riffle sequence in a boulder-bed stream. Model output indicates that at low discharge, a peak zone of shear stress and velocity occurs over the riffle. At or near bankfull discharge, the peak in velocity and shear stress is found at the pool head because of strong flow convergence created by large roughness elements. The strength of flow convergence is enhanced during model simulations of bankfull flow, resulting in a narrow, high velocity core that is translated through the pool head and pool center. The jet is strengthened by a backwater effect upstream of the constriction and the development of an eddy zone on the lee side of the boulder. The extent of flow convergence and divergence is quantified by identifying the effective width, defined here as the width which conveys 90% of the highest modeled velocities. At low flow, the ratio of effective width between the pool and riffle is roughly 1:1, indicating little flow convergence or divergence. At bankfull discharge, the ratio of effective width is approximately 1:3 between the pool and downstream riffle, illustrating the strong flow convergence at the pool head. The effective width tends to equalize again with a ratio of 1:1 between the pool and riffle during a modeled discharge of a five-year flood, as the large roughness elements above the pool become drowned out. Results suggest that forced pool–riffle sequences in boulder-bed streams are maintained by flows at or near bankfull discharge because of stage-dependent variability in depth-averaged velocity and tractive force.  相似文献   

Use of LIF for Real-Time In-Situ Mixed NAPL Source Zone Detection     

Mark L. Kram  Stephen H. Lieberman  Jerry Fee  Arturo A. Keller 《Ground Water Monitoring & Remediation》2001,21(1):67-76

The site characterization and analysis cone penetrometer system (SCAPS), equipped with realtime fluorophore detection capabilities, was used to delineate subsurface contaminant releases in an area where plating shop waste was temporarily stored. Records indicated that various nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) were released at the site. The investigators advanced the SCAPS laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) sensor to depths beneath the water table of the principal water-bearing zone. The water table was located approximately 6 feet (1.8 m) below ground surface (bgs) across the site. Fluorescence, attributed to fuel compounds commingled with chlorinated solvents, was observed at depths ranging from 4.0 to 11.5 feet (1.2 to 3.5 m) bgs. Fluorescence, attributed to naturally occurring organic materials (by process of elimination and spectral characteristics) commingled with chlorinated solvent constituents, was observed at depths ranging from approximately 13 to 40 feet (4.0 to 12.2 m) bgs. Fluorescence responses from compounds confirmed to be commingled with chlorinated solvents indicates that the SCAPS fluorophore detection system is capable of indirectly delineating vadose zone and subaqueous chlorinated solvents and other dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) at contaminant release sites. This confirmation effort represents the first documented account of the successful application of LIF to identify a mixed DNAPL/LNAPL source zone.  相似文献   

Rhyolitic ignimbrites in the region of Afyon (Central Anatolia)     

J. Keller  L. Villari 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1972,36(2):342-358

Occurrence and field relations of an extensive ignimbrite sheet near Afyon in Central Anatolia are described. These rhyolitic ignimbrites are part of the important Neogene volcanic activity in Turkey and belong to the alignment of volcanic complexes along the inner border of the Taurian ranges. In close stratigraphical connection and in the same tectonic position as the rhyolites there occurs an assemblage of high-potassic, intermediate to basic volcanic rocks (alkali trachytes, mela-trachytes, latites and leucite-bearing rocks). Petrological and magmatological considerations led to the conclusion that the rhyolites and the potassic series, in spite of the close geological connection, are not related by processes of magmatic differentiation. Arguments in favour of an anatectic origin of the rhyolitic melt are presented. The occurrence of garnet and allanite as accessory minerals and as inclusions in the salic minerals of the ignimbrite are interpreted as relictic witnesses of a sialic parent rock. However, the trace elements, especially high Rb connected with low Sr, Ba and Zr and K/Rb ratios below 100 give a pattern generally explained by strong fractionation processes.  相似文献   

Origin of rhyolites by anatectic melting of granitic crustal rocks   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J. Keller 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1969,33(3):942-959

Rhyolitic pumice deposits on some East Aegean Islands are the remnants of a tuff sheet which covered formerly more than 2500 km². The rhyolites originated by melting of granitic crustal rocks. The petrological properties leading to this conclusion are as follows:

-mineralogical composition of the pumice being 60 wt % of glass and 40 % of relictic granitic minerals (quartz, plagioclase, potash feldspar, biotite) in «phenocrysts» up to 1 cm Ø.

-phenomena of strong corrosion, resorption and melting of all light colored «phenocrysts» in the rhyolitic pumice.

-mineralogical and chemical identity between pumice and granitic xenolites found in great quantity in the pumice tuff.

-structurally transitional types between pumice and the granites in different state of melting.

-eutectic composition of the pumice glass for a pressure of 2 kb.

Über das Alter von Rundhöckern bei Lysekil (Bohuslän) an der schwedischen Skagerrak-Küste     

Prof. Dr. Gerhard Keller 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1968,57(2):445-454

Zusammenfassung In Bohuslän an der schwedischen Skagerrak-Küste befinden sich bei Lysekil Rundhöcker, die aus klüftigem Granit bestehen. Das Gefügeinventar ist sehr umfangreich, doch fällt eine Hauptrichtung auf, welche die Eisbewegung steuerte. Außer den tektonischen Klüften tritt die Entspannungsklüftung in ihrer typischen Art insofern auf, als sie morphoparallel ist und die Außenform der Rundhöcker nachbildet. Durch das Vorhandensein einer Diskordanz zwischen der Aufgleitfläche des Eises und den Entspannungsflächen im Granit ist über das Alter der Rundhöcker auszusagen, daß ihre Anlage älter als die Eisbedeckung ist. Das Eis benutzte die Entspannungsflächen teilweise als Bewegungsbahn oder kappte sie. Das Alter der Rundhöcker und ihre räumliche Anordnung wird daher präglazial sein und ist in das Tertiär zu stellen. Die vorgefundenen älteren Formen überprägte das Eis oft am stärksten auf der Leeseite und schuf dann steilwandige Nischen mit ortsfremden Findlingen als Inhalt.

In the Bohuslän District, on the Swedish Skagerrak coast, humps may be found near Lysekil, which consist of jointed granite. The fabric is very comprehensive, but there is one main direction guiding the ice movement. Besides these joints, there are relaxation planes in their typical formations; they run parallel to the morphology and re-shape the exterior forms of the humps.The presence of a discordance between the gliding surface and the relaxation planes in the granite determines the age of the humps, i. e., their origin is older than the ice cover. The ice made use of these planes by moving on or by cutting them. The age of the humps and their arrangement in space should, therefore, be preglacial and be assigned to the tertiary. The older forms encountered re-formed the ice most strongly on the leeward side, and there are precipitous niches containing erratic blocks.

Résumé A Bohuslän sur la côte suédoise de Skagerrak se trouvent à côté de Lysekil des roches moutonnées, formées de granit diaclase. La structure en question est très riche, mais une direction principale se distingue, celle qui réglait le mouvement glaciaire. Apart les diaclases intervient une diaclase de relaxation dans sa forme typique aussi loin qu'elle est morphoparallèle et qu'elle imite la forme extérieure des roches moutonnées. A travers l'existence d'une discordance mécanique entre la surface de glissement du glacier et les surfaces de relaxation dans le granit peut on déterminer l'âge des roches moutonnées, que leur formation est plus vieille que celle de la couverture glaciaire. Le glacier utilisait les surfaces de relaxation comme voie de déplacement, ou bien il les coupait. C'est pour cela que l'âge des roches moutonnées et leur disposition dans l'éspace est préglacial, et est à ranger dans l'ère tertiaire. Le glacier influença les anciennes formes trouvées, souvent le plus fort sur le côté sous le vent, et fit des nids à falaises abruptes contenant des blocs erratiques venant d'autre part.

IUE observations of faint comets     

H.A. Weaver  P.D. Feldman  M.C. Festou  M.F. A&#x;Hearn  H.U. Keller 《Icarus》1981,47(3):449-463

Ultraviolet spectra of seven comets taken with the same instrument are presented. Comets P/Encke (1980), P/Tuttle (1980 h), P/Stephan-Oterma (1980 g), and Meier (1980 q) were observed during November-December 1980 with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite observatory, while comets P/Borrelly (1980 i) and Panther (1980 u) were observed with IUE on 6 March 1981. The spectra of these comets are compared with those of comet Bradfield (1979 X), studied extensively earlier in 1980 with IUE, as well as with each other. In order to simplify the interpretation of the data and to minimize the dependence upon a specific model, the spectra are compared at approximately the same value of heliocentric distance whenever possible. Effects due to heliocentric velocity, geocentric distance, and optical depth are also discussed. All of the cometary spectra are remarkably similar, which suggests that these comets may have a common composition and origin.  相似文献
