This study focuses on the intrusion of dry air into the convective boundary layer (CBL) originating from the top of the CBL.
Aircraft in-situ measurements from the IHOP_2002 field campaign indicate a prevalence of negative skewness of the water vapour
distribution within the growing daytime CBL over land. This negative skewness is interpreted according to large-eddy simulations
(LES) as the result of descending dry downdrafts originating from above the mixed layer. LES are used to determine the statistical
properties of these intrusions: their size and thermodynamical characteristics. A conditional sampling analysis demonstrates
their significance in the retrieval of moisture variances and fluxes. The rapid CBL growth explains why greater negative skewness
is observed during the growing phase: the large amounts of dry air that are quickly incorporated into the CBL prevent a full
homogenisation by turbulent mixing. The boundary-layer warming in this phase also plays a role in the acquisition of negative
buoyancy for these dry tongues, and thus possibly explains their kinematics in the lower CBL. Budget analysis helps to identify
the processes responsible for the negative skewness. This budget study underlines the main role of turbulent transport, which
distributes the skewness produced at the top or the bottom of the CBL into the interior of the CBL. The dry tongues contribute
significantly to this turbulent transport. 相似文献

Magnetic properties of sediments from a core (10 m long) in the southern basin of the Caspian Sea have been investigated. Varying concentrations of greigite (Fe3 S4 ) dominate the magnetic fraction in Late Pleistocene sediments. The synsedimentary formation of greigite indicates that the Late Pleistocene Caspian Sea was a brackish or fresh-water, poorly ventilated basin and suggests a water level higher than at the present. The variation in magnetic parameters, with the detrital magnetite-bearing fraction remaining constant, is interpreted in terms of greigite grain-size variation and related to the slight variation in water salinity. The Holocene sediments are characterized by detrital magnetite. This indicates better ventilation of the basin and suggests lower water levels than in the Late Pleistocene. The gradual change in magnetic properties of the sediments between 90 and ≈60 cm depth, with decreasing quantities of greigite, indicates stepwise establishment of oxic conditions in the Holocene. 相似文献

Production rates of22Na (T1/2 = 2.6years) from aluminium by the action of cosmic rays are measured at the Mont Blanc (altitude 4600 m), the Aiguille du Midi (3840 m), and the Col du Lautaret (2070 m). They are2.3 ± 0.5,1.8 ± 0.3,and0.77 ± 0.18 atoms min?1 kg?1, respectively, in good agreement with the calculated production rates, 2.4, 1.7 and 0.6 atoms min?1 kg?1, respectively, at the three stations.Production rates of24Na (T1/2 = 15hours) from aluminium and magnesium are also measured at the Aiguille du Midi; the observed rates of3.4 ± 0.4and6.0 ± 1.7 atoms min?1 kg?1, respectively, agree well with the theoretically expected rates of 3.7 and 5.6 atoms min?1 kg?1.The production rates of3H,7Be,10Be,14C,22Na,26Al,36Cl,37Ar,39Ar,53Mn,54Mn, and55Fe in terrestrial rocks by the action of cosmic rays are calculated in order to show the possibility of applying the measurements of these cosmogenic radionuclides to the earth science. 相似文献

A late Pleistocene and Holocene mineral magnetic record from sediments of Lake Aibi,Dzungarian Basin,NW China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We studied mineral magnetic properties of a 6-m-long, late Pleistocene through Holocene sediment sequence from Lake Aibi in
Dzungaria (Zunggary, Junggar), northern Xinjiang, China. Results were used to infer environmental changes and are compared
with previously studied cores from Lake Manas. Both water bodies occupy the deepest parts of the Dzungarian Basin and are
remnants of large Holocene lakes. During the Late Pleistocene, the magnetic mineralogy in both lakes was dominated by detrital,
iron oxide minerals. Oxic conditions, which dominated during sedimentation and early diagenesis, persisted over the Pleistocene–Holocene
transition. Later, during the middle Holocene, lake bottom conditions enabled authigenic formation of iron sulphide minerals
such as pyrite (FeS2) in Lake Aibi, and pyrite and greigite (Fe3S4) in Lake Manas. This iron sulphide mineralogy suggests increased biological activity in stagnant, anoxic bottom waters. Anoxic
bottom conditions started about 9.8 cal kyr BP in Lake Manas and at about 7.2 cal kyr BP in Lake Aibi. A short dry event recorded
in Lake Manas between 6.8 and 5.2 cal kyr BP is not clearly observed in Lake Aibi. In the late Holocene, i.e. the last 2.8 cal
kyr, sediments of both lakes are again characterised by iron oxides, suggesting well-mixed, shallow water bodies. For this
recent period, it seems that the detrital material in the two lakes had a common origin. Magnetic properties of sediments
in Lakes Aibi and Manas show broadly similar environmental evolution during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. Nevertheless,
despite the close proximity of the two lakes (~200 km) in the same basin, they display some different magnetic properties
and record environmental changes at different times. 相似文献

暴露岩石中宇生核素的浓度与暴露年代、侵蚀速率相关,暴露年代和侵蚀速率可相互求证,但两者均为未知数时,可求算出最大侵蚀速率和最小暴露年代。据此得出张八岭地区的最大侵蚀速率为7 12m/Ma,最小暴露年代为(85700±1500)a,这一年代远小于统一夷平面的形成年代(7~3 6Ma),造成这种差距的主要原因是:①张八岭地区侵蚀速率大,岩石中宇生核素的浓度较早达到平衡,即达到该地区的测年上限;②采样地区曾被土壤覆盖,造成计算年代值过于年轻。 相似文献

During the Hydrological-Atmospheric Pilot Experiment (HAPEX)-Sahel, which took place in Niger in the transitional period between
the wet and dry seasons, two French aircraft probed the Sahelian boundary layer to measure sensible and latent heat fluxes.
The measurements over the Niamey area often revealed organised structures of a few km scale that were associated with both
thermals and dry intrusions. We study the impact of these coherent structures using a single day’s aircraft-measured fluxes
and a numerical simulation of that day with a mesoscale model. The numerical simulation at high horizontal resolution (250 m)
contains structures that evolve from streaks in the early morning to cells by noon. This simulation shows distribution, variance
and skewness similar to the observations. In particular, the numerical simulation shows dry intrusions that can penetrate
deeply into the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and even reach the surface in some cases, which is in accordance with the
observed highly negatively skewed water vapour fluctuations. Dry intrusions and thermals organised at a few km scale give
skewed flux statistics and can introduce large errors in measured fluxes. We use the numerical simulation to: (i) evaluate
the contribution of the organised structures to the total flux, and (ii) estimate the impact of the organised structures on
the systematic and random errors resulting from the 1D sampling of the aircraft as opposed to the 2D numerical simulation
estimate. We find a significant contribution by the organised structures to the total resolved fluxes. When rolls occur, and
for a leg length of about 30 times the ABL depth, the 1D sampled flux is shown to be sometimes 20% lower than the corresponding
2D flux when the 1D sampling direction is the same as the main axis of the rolls, whereas the systematic error is much lower
when the direction of the leg is transverse to the rolls. In the case of cells, an underestimate of around 10% can still be
observed with the 1D approach independent of direction, due to poor sampling of the energy-containing scales. 相似文献

The diurnal cycle is an important mode of variability in the Tropics that is not correctly predicted by numerical weather prediction models. The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses program provided for the first time a large dataset to document the diurnal cycle over West Africa. In order to assess the processes and mechanisms that are crucial for the representation of the diurnal cycle, four different regimes that characterize the varying conditions encountered over land along a surface-temperature gradient are selected. A single-column modelling framework is used in order to relate the features of the simulated diurnal cycle to physical processes in these four distinct cases. Particular attention is given to providing realistic initial and boundary conditions at the surface and in the atmosphere, enabling the use of independent data for the evaluation of the simulations. The study focuses on the simulation of the surface energy budget and low-level characteristics and analyzes the balance between cloud/surface/boundary-layer processes at the sub-diurnal time scale. The biases and drawbacks of the simulations are found to change along the temperature gradient but they always involve the representation of clouds. They also explain parts of the bias obtained with the same model when used in a less constrained configuration. Surface–atmosphere–cloud interactions arising at the sub-diurnal time scale are invoked to explain the distinct features of the low-level diurnal cycle observed over West Africa. 相似文献
