Based on measurements of the ¹⁸O isotope composition of 247 samples collected over a 3-year period we have assessed the oxygen isotope composition of water masses in the North Sea. This is the first δ¹⁸O data set that covers the entire North Sea basin. The waters lie on a mixing line: δ¹⁸O (‰_VSMOW) = −9.300 + 0.274(S) with North Atlantic sub-polar mode water (SPMW) and surface waters, and Baltic Sea water representing the saline and freshwater end members respectively. Patterns exhibited in surface and bottom water δ¹⁸O distributions are representative of the general circulation of the North Sea. Oxygen-18 enriched waters from the North Atlantic enter the North Sea between Scotland and Norway and to a lesser extent through the English Channel. In contrast, oxygen-18 depleted waters mainly inflow from the Baltic Sea, the rivers Rhine and Elbe, and to a lesser degree, the Norwegian Fjords and other river sources. Locally the δ¹⁸O–salinity relationship will be controlled by the isotopic composition of the freshwater inputs. However, the range of local freshwater compositions around the North Sea basin is too narrow to characterise the relative contributions of individual sources to the overall seawater composition. This dataset provides important information for a number of related disciplines including biogeochemical research and oceanographic studies.  相似文献   

Shear and Richardson number in a mode-water eddy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Blair J.W. Greenan   《Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography》2008,55(10-13):1161

Measurements of stratification and shear were carried out as part of the EDDIES tracer release experiment in mode-water eddy A4 during the summer of 2005. These measurements were accomplished using both shipboard instrumentation and a drifting mooring. A strong relationship between shear intensity and distance from the center of the eddy A4 was observed with the shipboard ADCP. Diapycnal diffusivity at the SF₆ tracer isopycnal prior to and during the release was estimated from the drifting mooring to be 2.9×10⁻⁶ m² s⁻¹. Diffusivity increased by an order of magnitude to 3.2×10⁻⁵ m² s⁻¹ during the period of the final tracer survey in early September, which was similar to the value estimated from the tracer analysis for the whole experiment (3.5×10⁻⁵ m² s⁻¹, [Ledwell, J.R., McGillicuddy Jr., D.J., Anderson, L.A., 2008.

Spurious diapycnal mixing in terrain-following coordinate models: The problem and a solution   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

Patrick Marchesiello  Laurent Debreu  Xavier Couvelard 《Ocean Modelling》2009,26(3-4):156-169

In this paper, we identify a crucial numerical problem in sigma coordinate models, leading to unacceptable spurious diapycnal mixing. This error is a by-product of recent advances in numerical methods, namely the implementation of high-order diffusive advection schemes. In the case of ROMS, spurious mixing is produced by its third-order upwind advection scheme, but our analysis suggests that all diffusive advection schemes would behave similarly in all sigma models. We show that the common idea that spurious mixing decreases with resolution is generally false. In a coarse-resolution regime, spurious mixing increases as resolution is refined, and may reach its peak value when eddy-driven lateral mixing becomes explicitly resolved. At finer resolution, diffusivities are expected to decrease but with values that only become acceptable at resolutions finer than the kilometer. The solution to this problem requires a specifically designed advection scheme. We propose and validate the RSUP3 scheme, where diffusion is split from advection and is represented by a rotated biharmonic diffusion scheme with flow-dependent hyperdiffusivity satisfying the Peclet constraint. The rotated diffusion operator is designed for numerical stability, which includes improvements of linear stability limits and a clipping method adapted to the sigma-coordinate. Realistic model experiments in a southwest Pacific configuration show that RSUP3 is able to preserve low dispersion and diffusion capabilities of the original third-order upwind scheme, while preserving water mass characteristics. There are residual errors from the rotated diffusion operator, but they remain acceptable. The use of a constant diffusivity rather than the Peclet hyperdiffusivity tends to increase these residual errors which become unacceptable with Laplacian diffusion. Finally, we have left some options open concerning the use of time filters as an alternative to spatial diffusion. A temporal discretization approach to the present problem (including implicit discretization) will be reported in a following paper.  相似文献   

Statistical approach to determine the salinized ground water flow path and hydrogeochemical features around the underground LPG cavern,Korea     

Jeongho Lee  Ji‐Hoon Kim  Hun‐Mi Kim  Ho‐Wan Chang 《水文研究》2007,21(26):3615-3626

The ground water flow path of the coastal area in the Yellow Sea, Korea, was interpreted using both the cross‐correlation analysis of hydraulic properties and the principal component analysis (PCA) of ground water chemistry. Data was obtained from observation wells in the underground liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cavern constructed in the coastal area of Pyeongtaek. Cross‐correlation results showed that the operating pressure became more influenced on artificial factors for the variation of the groundwater level of the study area (45–66% of correlation coefficient) even though its affecting area was limited to the region with fractures or faults, and also showed that the delay time from the variation of operating pressure to the fluctuation of ground water level were relatively long periods (28–31 days). Three hydrogeochemical events (encrusted cement dissolution, host rock dissolution, and seawater intrusion), which were dominantly influenced on ground water quality, could be induced from the result of PCA. Quantitative evaluation for these events using the mixed equation with principal component scores suggest that the dissolution of encrusted cement materials was the predominant factor (39·0% of the total mixed proportion) to change the chemical composition of the seepage water during the ground water flow from the observation wells to the cavern. Integration of the statistical results also imply that ground water flow and hydrogeochemistry were predominantly affected by artificial factors such as cavern operation pressure and dissolution of encrusted cement materials, which were interdependent factors on the observation wells with high cross‐correlation coefficients and pH.

New Experimental Platform for Studies of Turbulence and Turbulent Mixing in Accelerating and Rotating Fluids at High Reynolds Numbers     

Sergei S. Orlov  Snezhana I. Abarzhi 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2007,307(1-3):241-244

We present a new experimental platform for studies of turbulence and turbulent mixing in accelerating and rotating fluids. The technology is based on the ultra-high performance optical holographic digital data storage. The state-of-the-art electro-mechanical, electronic, and laser components allow for realization of turbulent flows with high Reynolds number (>10⁷) in a relatively small form-factor, and quantification of their properties with extremely high spatio-temporal resolutions and high data acquisition rates. The technology can be applied for investigation of a large variety of hydrodynamic problems including the fundamental properties of non-Kolmogorov turbulence and turbulent mixing in accelerating, rotating and multiphase flows, magneto-hydrodynamics, and laboratory astrophysics. Unique experimental and metrological capabilities enable the studies of spatial and temporal properties of the transports of momentum, angular momentum, and energy and the identification of scalings, invariants, and statistical properties of these complex turbulent flows.  相似文献   

Nutrient composition and distributions in coastal waters impacted by the Changjiang plume   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

WANG Xiulin  WANG Baodong  ZHANG Chuansong  SHI Xiaoyong  ZHU Chenjian  XIE Linping  HAN Xiurong  XIN Yu  WANG Jiangtao 《海洋学报(英文版)》2008,27(5):111-125

Four cruises were conducted during 2002--2003 in the Changjiang Estuary and adjacent coastal areas. The data presented show a clear coast to open sea gradient in nutrients related to the river inputs. Maximum values of chlorophyll a were typically observed at intermediate salinities at surface water and coincided with non-conservative decreases in nutrients along the salinity gradient, indicating that removal of nutrients was related to phytoplankton uptake. The seasonal variations of nutrient concentrations were just opposite to those of chlorophyll a, indicating that the seasonal variations of nutrients were mainly controlled by phytoplankton uptake, whereas riverine inputs merely weakened or balanced its extent. During the estuarine mixing, phosphate demonstrated some remobilization during all the four cruises; whereas both conservative and non-conservative behaviors for dissolved inorganic nitrogen and silicate were observed in the study area, indicating that both biotic and abiotic events may affect their behaviors during the estuarine mixing. Under the influence of freshwater inputs with high value of ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus, the estuarine and coastal waters impacted by the Changjiang plume were high （ 〉 30） in ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus, but rates of primary production were apparently not constrained by any kind of nutrient elements. However, the low （ 〈 1 ） ratio of silicate to nitrogen in most of the study area might be linked with the rapidly increasing frequency of harmful algal bloom （HAB） incidents in recent years in the coastal waters impacted by the Changjiang plume.  相似文献

利用环境监测站大气污染物数据、地面自动气象站观测资料、L波段加密探空资料和0.125°×0.125°的EC再分析资料,结合MODIS遥感火点监测和HYSPLIT4后向轨迹模拟结果,对比分析了2015年11月8日和2016年11月5日的两次由于东北地区秸秆焚烧导致辽宁重污染天气过程的大气边界层特征、气象扩散条件和大气污染物输送来源等。结果表明:两次过程地面PM_(2.5)浓度均出现快速上升和下降,其中2015年11月8日重污染过程的污染强度较2016年11月5日强,且持续时间更长。2015年11月8日重污染过程的混合层高度较低,其上层的中性层结转变为逆温层结,抑制混合层高度的发展。同时低层冷平流不断侵入到暖平流下方,使得大气层结稳定性增强,维持时间较2016年11月5日重污染过程更长,低层下沉运动和黑龙江西南部、吉林西部污染物的远距离输送增强使得辽宁地面污染物浓度快速累积。而2016年11月5日重污染天气过程主要受深厚冷空气影响,东北地区西部污染物的区域输送和地面风场辐合是地面污染物浓度快速上升的主要原因。  相似文献

广西三叉冲钨矿有关岩体岩石成因：锆石U-Pb年代学、元素地球化学及Nd同位素制约     

王炯辉  王志强  陈斌 《地球化学》2014,(6)

华南西南部博白-岑溪多金属成矿带是华南地区重要成矿带。在该带中先后发现的米场、油麻坡、三叉冲等中大型钨钼矿与晚中生代白垩纪花岗岩关系密切。本文选择了该区典型岩体——三叉冲岩体进行研究,通过对其特征及成因的研究对该地区成矿作用提供指示意义。三叉冲岩体由斑状中粒黑云母花岗岩和细粒二云母花岗岩组成。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb同位素定年表明,斑状中粒黑云母花岗岩形成于101~104 Ma,细粒二云母花岗岩形成于103~105 Ma。两种花岗岩都具有较大的化学成分变化,但具有相似的Nd同位素组成,εNd(t)值分别为–7.5~–6.5和–7.8~–6.7。我们认为中粒黑云母花岗岩为中元古界中-高钾玄武岩成分基底部分熔融,并与幔源基性岩浆发生岩浆混合作用形成的。在中粒黑云母花岗岩的演化过程中有角闪石+少量斜长石的分离结晶作用。细粒二云母花岗岩具有明显不同于中粒黑云母花岗岩的Na2O和K2O演化趋势;且具有更高的 CaO 和 Sr 含量;同时,细粒二云母花岗岩具有高得多的 La/Lu 比值,这些证据都表明细粒二云母花岗岩并非中粒黑云母花岗岩通过分离结晶形成的。细粒二云母花岗岩为中元古界长英质麻粒岩+少量拉斑玄武岩成分部分熔融产生中酸性岩浆,并与幔源岩浆发生混合作用形成的。幔源岩浆贡献的挥发分F使得细粒二云母花岗岩朝更富Na2O的方向演化。在细粒二云母花岗岩的演化过程中以黑云母+钾长石+斜长石的分离结晶为主。野外地质调查、岩石学及地球化学数据表明,细粒二云母花岗岩与三叉冲钨钼成矿作用的关系更为密切。晚中生代,受太平洋板块的俯冲作用的影响,桂东南地区处于拉张构造环境。软流圈上涌及玄武质岩浆底侵为基底的部分熔融提供了必要的热源,同时也为三叉冲岩体的形成提供了物质来源。  相似文献   

广西苍梧社垌石英脉型钨钼多金属矿床流体演化及来源示踪

广西苍梧社垌矿床是大瑶山隆起南侧新发现的一个大型斑岩-矽卡岩-石英脉型钨钼多金属矿床。本文重点对其中的石英脉型矿床进行了研究,依据脉体穿插关系及矿物共生组合将成矿过程划分为I石英-黄铁矿阶段、II石英-白钨矿-辉钼矿阶段、III石英-多金属硫化物阶段以及IV石英-方解石-萤石阶段,其中II和III阶段为主成矿阶段。从早到晚,均一温度逐渐下降(第一阶段550℃→370℃,第二阶段370℃→330℃,第三阶段330℃→210℃,第四阶段190℃→150℃),流体密度逐渐上升(0.61g/cm3→0.72g/cm3→0.82g/cm3→0.94g/cm3),盐度先升后降(第一阶段5.86%～8.55%NaCleqv,第二阶段4.49%～43%NaCleqv,第三阶段0.53%～46.37%NaCleqv,第四阶段0%～12.85%NaCleqv)。激光拉曼成分分析显示,社垌石英脉型矿床的成矿流体属于H2O-NaCl体系,但是该体系的流体成分在成矿前后发生了较大的变化,反映第I阶段以氧化环境为主,(II、III、)IV阶段则为还原环境。氢氧同位素研究显示成矿流体来自于岩浆水,后期大气降水的加入导致矿质发生沉淀。此外金属硫化物的δ34S组成(-3.8‰～+1.7‰)平均为-0.46‰,接近于零值,也表明为岩浆来源。引起矿质沉淀的主要原因是流体混合导致的温度下降等环境条件的改变。总体而言,社垌石英脉型钨钼多金属矿床的成矿流体主要来自岩浆热液,为中高温、中低盐度、低密度的NaCl-H2O流体体系,钨钼等多金属成矿与区内加里东期岩浆作用密切相关。  相似文献
