The B/Ca ratio of planktonic foraminifer shells has been used as a proxy for reconstructing past ocean carbonate chemistry. However, recent studies have revealed significant uncertainties associated with this proxy, such as whether seawater temperature or [ CO_3~(2-)] is the dominant control on the partition coefficient(K_D) of planktonic foraminiferal B/Ca. To address these uncertainties and thus improve our understanding of the planktonic foraminiferal B/Ca proxy, we analysed B/Ca ratios in the tests of Neogloboquadrina dutertrei(300–355 μm) and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata(355–400 μm) in surface sediment samples from the tropical western Pacific and South China Sea. The relationship between these B/Ca ratios and bottom water calcite saturation states(Δ[ CO_3~(2-)]) is weak, thus suggesting only a small dissolution effect on the B/Ca of the two species. The correlation coefficients(R~2) between the B/Ca ratios of N. dutertrei and P. obliquiloculata and environmental parameters(e.g., temperature, salinity, phosphate, DIC and ALK) in the tropical western Pacific and South China Sea are not high enough to justify using B/Ca ratios as a palaeoenvironmental proxy in the study areas. The significant correlation between K_D values of N. dutertrei and P. obliquiloculata and carbonate system parameters(e.g.,[ CO_3~(2-)], DIC, ALK, pH and [ HCO_3~-]) in the study area reflect chemical links between the K_D denominator and these variables. Based on our surface sediment calibration, an empirical relationship between the K_D of N.dutertrei and temperature is proposed in the tropical western Pacific. We also generated a record of B/Ca ratios in N. dutertrei(300–355 μm) from Core MD06-3052 in the tropical western Pacific over the past 24 ka to evaluate the application of the revised B/Ca proxy method. Based on the reconstructed empirical relationship for B/Ca and subsurface seawater ALK, we estimated subsurface seawater carbonate system parameters in the tropical western Pacific since 24 ka. In general, the estimated subsurface seawater pH and [ CO_3~(2-)] show an increase with time, and the record of subsurface seawater pCO_2 shows a decrease with time, in the tropical western Pacific over the past 24 ka. The consistent trends in subsurface seawater pCO_2 and opal flux during deglaciation may imply that the reported increase in subsurface water pCO_2 in the study area was promoted by enhanced upwelling in the Southern Ocean. 相似文献

南海北部东沙海底冲蚀河谷及其成因探讨 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
对覆盖南海北部东沙区的50多条多道地震剖面进行了解释.通过剖面解释,发现东沙隆起后,南海北部海底地形发生了较大变化.这其中包括东沙岛在陆架坡折处的隆起,以及沉积地层以较大的幅度向上翘起.向上翘起的地层在很大的范围内遭受海底剥蚀.在东沙隆起区的北侧,海底发育下切沟.本文解释为现代海底在更强烈的剥蚀条件下形成的海底冲蚀地形,称为海底冲蚀沟.海底冲蚀沟分布于东沙岛的北侧,大致与陆架坡折线,以及600m等深线相平行,其宽度一般在20km左右,NE-SW向长度可达200km,本文称为东沙海底冲蚀河谷.无论是冬季还是夏季,东沙岛以北的吕宋海峡都有黑潮分支从太平洋贯入南海.这一黑潮分支在冬季演化为太平洋-印度洋贯通流,在夏季演化为吕宋海峡次表层流.东沙海底冲蚀谷的分布与太平洋-印度洋贯通流,以及吕宋海峡次表层流的位置完全一致.本文认为,黑潮分支在遇到南海北部陆坡的阻挡后,黑潮水体由陆坡向陆架堆积,并因水深变浅,水体通过空间变小而使流速加大,从而有能力对海底产生剥蚀.东沙区海底地层的剥蚀,以及东沙海底冲蚀谷的发育都是黑潮分支在东沙陆架区形成的强底流和海底长期耦合作用的结果. 相似文献
