Heat and momentum transport in an oak forest canopy     

Erwin Moritz 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1989,49(3):317-329

With the use of a sonic anemometer, vertical heat and momentum fluxes were measured at three different levels in an oak forest canopy. A quadrant analysis of the resulting data shows that approximately half of the transport occurs in extreme events lasting about 5 to 10% of the time. The partition of transport into momentum sweeps, bursts and interactions shows good agreement with existing data. The heat flux is analysed by observing the fluxes during the different momentum events and considering concurrent momentum and heat flux intensities by means of conditional probabilities. While low intensity (normal) events show similar probability distributions throughout the canopy, different structures appear at the three measurement heights for high intensity (extreme) events that can tentatively be explained by taking the temperature profile into account. This supports the idea that these events are coherent motions with scales comparable to the canopy height.  相似文献   

Fluid evolution in the W–Cu–Zn–Pb San Cristobal vein, Peru: fluid inclusion and stable isotope evidence     

S. Beuchat  R. Moritz  T. Pettke 《Chemical Geology》2004,210(1-4):201-224

The Zn–Pb±Ag±Cu San Cristobal district is located 100 km east of Lima in the western cordillera of Peru. It is centred around the Chumpe intrusion and is composed of vein and carbonate replacement ore types. The main San Cristobal vein presents a paragenesis that can be divided into three stages: (a) an early wolframite–quartz–pyrite stage, (b) a quartz–base metal stage, and (c) a late quartz–carbonate–barite stage.

Fluid inclusions in quartz from the tungsten stage are biphase (LV) at room temperature and homogenise to the liquid phase between 146 and 257 °C. Their salinities range between 2.1 and 5.1 wt.% NaCl equiv. Rare inclusions contain an additional crystal of halite and have salinities of 46–54 wt.% NaCl equiv. Data of the first two stages show a decrease in homogenisation temperatures concomitant with a salinity decline. Fluid inclusions in quartz from the late stage homogenise at higher temperatures, between 252 and 323 °C, with salinities ranging between 4.6 and 6.7 wt.% NaCl equiv.

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope data indicate a two-stage evolution. Isotopic compositions of the fluid associated with the first two stages define a trend with constant δ¹⁸O values and decreasing δD values (δ¹⁸O=3.2‰ to 5.0‰ V-SMOW and δD=−60‰ to −112‰ V-SMOW), which is interpreted as mixing of a dominantly magmatic component with minor meteoric water that had equilibrated with the host rocks. This interpretation is supported by sulphur and lead isotopic data from previous studies. By contrast, the quartz–carbonate–barite stage bears isotopic characteristics defining a trend with a coupled decrease of δ¹⁸O and δD (δ¹⁸O=−8.1‰ to 2.5‰ V-SMOW and δD=−57‰ to −91‰ V-SMOW) and is explained by addition of meteoric water to the system and subsequent mixing with a less important magmatic component.

Different fluid origins are confirmed by laser ablation ICP-MS analyses of the triphase (LVH) and biphase (LV) primary inclusions. The concentrations of the major ore elements, i.e., W, Cu, Zn and Pb, decrease throughout the paragenesis; W, and to a lesser extent Cu, show significant variations, associated with a steep decrease in their concentration. The decreasing concentrations can be explained by mineral deposition and dilution by the meteoric fluid; differences in the rate of decrease indicate selective precipitation of W. Fluid inclusions of the quartz–carbonate stages show an abrupt increase in Ba and Sr concentrations. This is interpreted to reflect a higher volume of host rock silicate alteration, probably due to the increasing size of the fluid flow cell and is explained by the input of a third fluid of unknown origin. LA-ICP-MS analyses show that the fluids were already depleted in W and Cu before reaching the emplacement of carbonate replacement ore type, whereas Zn and Pb were still present in considerable amounts. This is again due to selective precipitation and is consistent with the interpretation that the economically interesting metals were dominantly introduced by magmatic fluids.  相似文献   

A generalized least-squares model     

Helmut Moritz 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》1970,14(4):353-362

Summary A interpolation method is given for the case in which a function consisting of a systematic and a random part is to be estimated from measurements affected by errors. This is a combined problem of parameter estimation, filtering and prediction, which has applications in different fields of geodesy and gravimetry. The solution of the problem is derived from a least-squares principle; it is formally very similar to a general case of least-squares adjustment. Address: Hardenbergstr. 34, 1 Berlin 12.  相似文献   

Averaging two functions     

Helmut Moritz 《Journal of Geodesy》1961,61(1):21-40

The paper treats the problem of averaging two independent determinations of the same function (curve, surface, etc.). Starting from the simple arithmetic mean, the problem is successively generalized to scalar and vector functions, arriving at an integral equation of Wiener-Hopf type. Aspects of least-squares collocation are also included. Finally the problem of determining transformation parameters and other systematic deviations is treated, furnishing a simple example of continuous least-squares adjustment.  相似文献

Climate and Forecast Mode Simulations for Antarctica: Implications for Temperature and Wind     

XIN Yufei  Annette RINKE  BIAN Lingen  Klaus DETHLOFF  XIAO Cunde  Moritz MIELKE 《大气科学进展》2010,27(6):1453-1472

Climate and forecast mode simulations with the regional climate model HIRlam-ECHAM(HIRHAM) are evaluated over a pan-Antarctic domain. The ability of the model to simulate temperature and wind profiles in the troposphere is quantified by comparing its results with radiosonde data acquired from the Davis station for January and July 2007. Compared to the climate mode, the forecast mode was found to deliver improved results for temperature and wind simulations at the near surface and in the lower troposphere. The main remaining model bias found was the under-representation of low-level wind jets. Based on ensemble simulations, it is shown that a distinct internal variability is inherent in the climate mode simulations, and associated areas of reduced predictability over Antarctica are identified.  相似文献

The distribution of nitrate N/N in marine sediments and the impact of benthic nitrogen loss on the isotopic composition of oceanic nitrate     

Moritz F. Lehmann  Daniel M. Sigman  Julie Granger  Greg Cane 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2007,71(22):5384-5404

We report ¹⁵N/¹⁴N ratios of porewater nitrate in sediments from the Bering Sea basin, where microbial nitrate reduction has been identified as a significant sink for fixed nitrogen (N). Strong ¹⁵N enrichment in porewater nitrate is observed as one goes deeper in the sediments and nitrate concentration decreases (δ¹⁵N generally reaches 25-35‰). Analysis of profiles with a one-dimensional diffusion-reaction model yields organism-scale isotope effects for dissimilatory nitrate reduction (ε_cell) of 11‰ to 30‰, in the same range as measured in previous studies of cultures and the marine and lacustrine water column. Estimates of ε_cell, while uncertain, show a negative correlation with bottom water [O₂]; we propose that this relates to the at the depth of denitrification. The N isotope effect at the scale of nitrate sediment-water exchange (ε_app) is ∼0‰ in two unreactive deep sites and is typically <3‰ at more reactive sites at various depths. ε_app is much lower than ε_cell because nitrate consumption is nearly complete at the sediment depth of denitrification, minimizing the escape of ¹⁵N-enriched nitrate from the sediments. In reactive sediments, this is due to rapid denitrification, while in less reactive sediments, it is due to greater diffusive distances for nitrate to the depth of denitrification. The data suggest that low bottom water [O₂] tends to yield more complete expression of ε_cell at the sediment-water scale, due to higher at the depth of denitrification. While porewater ammonium-N isotopes were not measured, our porewater model suggests that, in sediments with high organic matter supply and/or low-[O₂] bottom waters, the efflux and subsequent oxidation of ammonium enriched in ¹⁵N by incomplete nitrification can significantly enhance the total net isotope effect of sedimentary N loss (ε_sed, equivalent to ε_app but including ammonium fluxes). Model analysis of representative sedimentary environments suggests a global mean ε_sed of ∼4‰ (∼2‰ if restricted to seafloor below 1 km depth).  相似文献
