We have developed a new general circulation model (GCM) for the venusian mesosphere and thermosphere (80-about 180 km). Our GCM simulations show that winds in the subsolar-to-antisolar direction (SS–AS) are predominant above about 90 km. A weak return flow of the SS–AS is seen below about 90 km. We performed GCM simulations imposing the planetary-scale waves (thermal tides, Rossby wave, and Kelvin wave) at the lower boundary. Although the diurnal and semidiurnal tides are damped below 95 km, the Rossby wave propagates up to around 130 km. However, the amplitude of the Rossby wave is too small (<1 m/s) to affect the general circulation. On the other hand, the Kelvin wave propagates up to about 130 km with a maximum zonal wind fluctuation of approximately 5.9 m/s on average. The amplitude of the Kelvin wave sometimes exceeds 10 m/s around the terminator. The Kelvin wave causes a temporal variation in the wind velocity at the altitude of the O₂-1.27 μm nightglow emission (about 95 km). Using a newly developed 1-D nightglow model and the composition distribution calculated from our GCM, we investigated the impact of the Kelvin wave on the nightglow distribution. Our results suggest that the Kelvin wave would cause temporal variations in the nightglow emission in the 23:50–00:20 LT region with an intensity of 1.1–1.3 MR and a period of approximately 4 days.  相似文献

湖南康家湾铅锌金银矿床位于南岭成矿带北部中段,是水口山矿田内发现较晚的大型隐伏矿床.该矿床的矿物组合及矿化特征复杂,前人对其成矿流体特征及成因类型存在不同认识.文章通过野外地质调查和矿物矿相学研究发现该矿床的热液成矿阶段较多,方铅矿主要形成于早期闪锌矿与晚期闪锌矿之间,而金和银的成矿阶段分别与早期闪锌矿和方铅矿趋于一致.电子探针成分分析结果显示早期闪锌矿的含铁量(x(FeS)=9.0％～19.1％)明显高于晚期闪锌矿的(x(FeS)=0.1％～4.0％),与黄铁矿和磁黄铁矿共生的闪锌矿含铁量估算得到的成矿压力值范围为100～146 MPa.早期闪锌矿中流体包裹体的均一温度范围为190～370℃,盐度w(NaCleq)范围为5％～11％,均明显高于晚期闪锌矿.基于矿物组合特征的热力学模拟计算显示早期的成矿流体具有低氧逸度和中酸性的特征,为金的沉淀提供了有利条件.总体上,康家湾矿床的成矿流体演化具有温度和压力由高变低、氧逸度由低变高、pH值由低变高但均为中酸性,金属元素含量由多变少的变化趋势.以上成矿流体特征暗示康家湾矿床具矽卡岩型矿化特征,指示深部存在找矿潜力.  相似文献

The Hashima,Japan H4 chondrite: A newly reported meteorite     

Mitsuo Hoshino  Kanenori Suwa 《Meteoritics & planetary science》1992,27(2):179-181

Abstract We report a new chondrite that fell in Hashima City in central Japan sometime during the period 1868–1912. The chondrite weighs 1110.64 g and exhibits distinct chondritic structure. Chondrules occupy 24 vol% of the stone and consist of olivine (average Fa_17,8), low-Ca pyroxene (average Fs_15,8 Wo_0.9), devitrified glass and lesser amounts of oligoclase (ca. Ab₈₀Or₄), kamacite, taenite, troilite and chromian spinel. Matrix occupying 76 vol% of the stone consists of olivine, low-Ca pyroxene, kamacite, taenite, troilite, cryptocrystalline minerals and lesser amounts of chromian spinel and chlorapatite. Matrix minerals have the same compositions as those in chondrules. Mineral chemistry, bulk chemistry and magnetic properties indicate that Hashima is an H-group chondrite. Well-defined chondrules, scarcely recrystallized oligoclase and relatively small variations of olivine and low-Ca pyroxene compositions indicate that Hashima is of petrologic type 4.  相似文献   

Stochastic continuum modeling of flow and transport in a crystalline rock mass: Fanay-Augères,France, revisited   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

A stochastic discrete-fracture model was used by Cacas et al.^a,b to interpret flow measurements and transport experiments in a fractured crystalline rock mass at Fanay-Augères. They considered continuum models to be incapable of properly interpreting small-scale measurements or tracer tests in fractured systems, which, in their view, require three-dimensional modeling of numerous discrete channels; in their opinion, continuum modeling applies only to average flow on a relatively large scale. Cacas et al. considered their discrete fracture model to have been validated by its demonstrated ability to reproduce selected experimental results. In this paper, flow and transport at Fanay-Augères are modeled by viewing the fractured rock as a stochastic continuum in a manner originally proposed by Neuman^c,d. The stochastic continuum approach obviates the need for detailed information about fracture geometry or assumptions about how individual fractures control flow and transport. All it requires is the delineation of a few dominant features, which can be embedded into the stochastic continuum model as heterogeneous porous slabs. Though a fault zone has been identified at the Fanay-Augères experimental site, it has been modeled neither by Cacas et al. nor in this paper. In fact, in this paper, a larger selection of experimental results than those considered by Cacas et al. are reproduced merely by modeling the rock as a statistically homogeneous continuum in two dimensions. These results demonstrate that a continuum approach may be well suited for the analysis of flow and transport in fractured rock. This does not constitute a validation of the continuum approach, just as the results of Cacas et al. fall short of validating the discrete fracture approach. Instead, the two sets of results illustrate jointly the well-established principle that an open system, especially one as complex as fractured hydrogeologic environments tend to be, cannot be described uniquely on the basis of sparse data and need not be described in great detail to capture its salient behavior by a model.^a Cacas MC, Ledoux E, de Marsily G, Barbreau A, Calmels P, Gaillard B, Margritta R (1990a) Modelling fracture flow with a stochastic discrete fracture network: calibration and validation. 1.

Hydrogen‐isotopic compositions in Allan Hills 84001 and the evolution of the martian atmosphere     

N. Sugiura  H. Hoshino 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2000,35(2):373-380

Abstract— Hydrogen‐isotopic compositions of carbonate and maskelynite in Allan Hills (ALH) 84001 were measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). the δd values of both minerals show considerable deviation. The deviation seems to be caused by addition of varying amounts of terrestrial water in the case of carbonate. In the case of maskelynite, H is heterogeneously distributed and the deviation in δD values seems to be due to mixing of this indigenous heavy H with isotopically normal H present in the SIMS chamber. The indigenous δD value in ALH 84001 seems to be ～2000%‰. Carbonate rather than maskelynite seems to be the main carrier of H in ALH 84001. Because ALH 84001 is ～4 Ga old, the H‐isotopic composition suggests that a large fraction of the initial martian atmosphere had already escaped by 4 Ga.  相似文献   

A Study on the Mineralization of the Woxi Au–Sb–W Deposit,Western Hunan,China          下载免费PDF全文

The Woxi Au–Sb–W deposit in the western Hunan Province, China, is of hydrothermal vein type characterized by a rare mineral assemblage of stibnite, scheelite and native gold, of which gold fineness ranges from 998.6 to 1000. The mineralization sequence observed in the deposit is, from early to late, coarse‐grained pyrite – scheelite – stibnite – Pb–Sb–S minerals – sphalerite (+ cubanite) – fine‐grained pyrite. Native gold may have precipitated with scheelte. Microthermometric and LA–ICP–MS analyses of fluid inclusions in scheelite, quartz associated with scheelite and stibnite and barren quartz clarified that there may be at least three types of hydrothermal fluids during the vein formation in the Woxi deposit. Scheelite and native gold precipitated from the fluid of high temperature and salinity with high concentrations of metal elements, followed by stibnite precipitation. The later fluid of the highest temperature and salinity with low concentrations of the elements yielded the sphalerite mineralization. The latest fluid of low temperature and salinity with low concentrations of the elements is observed mainly in barren quartz. The remarkably high Au/Ag concentration ratios determined in the fluid inclusions in scheelite might be the reason for the extremely high gold fineness of native gold.  相似文献   

Assessment of future precipitation indices in the Shikoku region using a statistical downscaling model   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

In this study, we used the statistical downscaling model (SDSM) to estimate mean and extreme precipitation indices under present and future climate conditions for Shikoku, Japan. Specifically, we considered the following mean and extreme precipitation indices: mean daily precipitation, R10 (number of days with precipitation >10 mm/day), R5d (annual maximum precipitation accumulated over 5 days), maximum dry-spell length (MaDSL), and maximum wet-spell length (MaWSL). Initially, we calibrated the SDSM model using the National Center for environmental prediction (NCEP) reanalysis dataset and daily time series of precipitation for ten locations in Shikoku which were acquired from the surface weather observation point dataset. Subsequently, we used the validated SDSM, using data from NCEP and outputs form general circulation models (GCM), to predict future precipitation indices. Specifically, the HadCM3 GCM was run under the special report on emissions scenarios (SRES) A2 and B2 scenarios, and the CGCM3 GCM was run under the SRES A2 and A1B scenarios. The results showed that: (1) the SDSM can reasonably be used to simulate mean and extreme precipitation indices in the Shikoku region; (2) the values of annual R10 were predicated to decrease in the future in northern Shikoku under all climate scenarios; conversely, the values of annual R10 were predicted to increase in the future in the range of 0–15 % in southern and western Shikoku. The values of annual MaDSL were predicted to increase in northern Shikoku, and the values of annual MaWSL were predicted to decrease in northeastern Shikoku; (3) the spatial variation of precipitation indices indicated the potential for an increased occurrence of drought across northeastern Shikoku and an increased occurrence of flood events in the southwestern part of Shikoku, especially under the A2 and A1B scenarios; (4) characteristics of future precipitation may differ between the northern and southern sides of the Shikoku Mountains. Regional variations in extreme precipitation indices were not notably evident in the B2 scenario compared to the other scenarios.  相似文献
