Abstract— Jull et al. propose an alternative interpretation of our depth vs. ¹⁴C data measured on a peat core from the central Tunguska impact site (Rasmussen et al., 1999). We find that the proposed alternative is untenable.  相似文献

Ice‐cover variability on shallow lakes at high latitudes: model simulations and observations     

Claude R. Duguay  Greg M. Flato  Martin O. Jeffries  Patrick Mnard  Kim Morris  Wayne R. Rouse 《水文研究》2003,17(17):3465-3483

A one‐dimensional thermodynamic model for simulating lake‐ice phenology is presented and evaluated. The model can be driven with observed daily or hourly atmospheric forcing of air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, cloud amount and snowfall. In addition to computing the energy balance components, key model output includes the temperature profile at an arbitrary number of levels within the ice/snow (or the water temperature if there is no ice) and ice thickness (clear ice and snow‐ice) on a daily basis, as well as freeze‐up and break‐up dates. The lake‐ice model is used to simulate ice‐growth processes on shallow lakes in arctic, sub‐arctic, and high‐boreal forest environments. Model output is compared with field and remote sensing observations gathered over several ice seasons. Simulated ice thickness, including snow‐ice formation, compares favourably with field measurements. Ice‐on and ice‐off dates are also well simulated when compared with field and satellite observations, with a mean absolute difference of 2 days. Model simulations and observations illustrate the key role that snow cover plays on the seasonal evolution of ice thickness and the timing of spring break‐up. It is also shown that lake morphometry, depth in particular, is a determinant of ice‐off dates for shallow lakes at high latitudes. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Effects of compressibility on the flow of lava     

Claude Jaupart 《Bulletin of Volcanology》1991,54(1):1-9

Lava contains gas bubbles and hence is a compressible liquid whose density increases as a function of pressure. After eruption at the Earth's surface, it spreads at a rate which is a function of its thickness and it is compressed under its own weight. Therefore, both thickness and spreading rate are determined by a balance between viscous and compressible effects. Theoretical equations are derived for the shape and velocity of a compressible liquid spreading on a horizontal surface. Solutions are obtained for a fixed eruption rate Q. The radial extent of the flow increases proportional to t ^1/2. A dimensionless number C is defined which characterizes the importance of flow compression: , where ₀ is bubbly lava density at atmospheric pressure, compressibility, viscosity and g the acceleration of gravity. C can be thought of as the ratio of two characteristic length-scales, one for compression effects and one for viscous effects. The larger C is, the more important compressibility effects are. As C is increased, the flow becomes thinner because the liquid is compressed more and more efficiently. Compressibility acts to smooth out variations of flow thickness, which provide the driving force. Thus, all else being equal, a compressible liquid flows less rapidly than an incompressible one. When trying to infer the effective viscosity of a flow from its spreading rate, the neglect of compressibility leads to an overestimate. The various factors which act to determine the distribution of gas bubbles in lava flows are reviewed and discussed quantitatively. Comparison with data from Obsidian Dome (Eastern California) shows that disequilibrium effects are important and that bubble resorption during burial in a thick flow is not a pervasive phenomenon. The analysis is applied to the 1979 dome of Soufrière de Saint Vincent (W.I.). An effective value of compressibility for this 100-m-thick dome is 1.5x10^–6 Pa^–1. This implies that, all else being equal, the viscosity of this lava may be overestimated by a factor of 5 if no account is taken of the compressible nature of the flow.  相似文献   

Stratigraphy and sedimentation rates of Upper Cretaceous deep-water systems of the Rhenodanubian Group (Eastern Alps, Germany)     

Hans Egger  Klaus Schwerd 《Cretaceous Research》2008,29(3):405-416

In the Bavarian Alps (Germany), west of the Isar River, the abyssal deposits of the Lower Barremian to Upper Campanian Rhenodanubian Group consist of siliciclastic and calcareous turbidites alternating with hemipelagic non-calcareous mudstones. The up to 1500-m-thick succession, deposited in the Penninic Basin to the south of the European Plate, is characterized by a low mean sedimentation rate (c. 25 mm kyr⁻¹) over 60 million years. Palaeocurrents and turbidite facies distribution patterns suggest that sedimentation occurred on a weakly inclined abyssal plain. The highest sedimentation rates (up to 240 mm kyr⁻¹) were associated with the calcareous mud turbidites of the newly defined Röthenbach Subgroup, which includes the Piesenkopf, Kalkgraben and Hällritz formations (Middle Coniacian to Middle Campanian). These calcareous turbidites prograded from the west, and interfinger towards the east with red hemipelagic claystone. A high sea level presumably favoured pelagic carbonate production and accumulation on the shelves and on internal platforms in the western part of the basin, whereas siliciclastic shelves with steep slope angles have bordered the eastern part of the basin, where a dearth of turbidite sedimentation and increased Cretaceous oceanic red beds deposition occurred. In contrast to the eustatically-induced Middle Coniacian to Lower Campanian Cretaceous oceanic red beds (calcareous nannoplankton zones CC14 to CC18), red hemipelagites of Early Cenomanian age (upper part of calcareous nannoplankton zone CC9) and early Late Campanian age (upper part of zone CC21 and zone CC22) are interpreted as the result of regional tectonic activity.  相似文献   

Calcareous nannoplankton, planktonic foraminiferal, and carbonate carbon isotope stratigraphy of the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary section in the Ultrahelvetic Zone (Eastern Alps, Upper Austria)

Ultrahelvetic units of the Eastern Alps were deposited on the distal European continental margin of the (Alpine) Tethys. The Rehkogelgraben section (“Buntmergelserie”, Ultrahelvetic unit, Upper Austria) comprises a 5 m thick succession of upper Cenomanian marl-limestone cycles overlain by a black shale interval composed of three black shale layers and carbonate-free claystones, followed by lower Turonian white to light grey marly limestones with thin marl layers. The main biostratigraphic events in the section are the last occurrence of Rotalipora and the first occurrences of Helvetoglobotruncana helvetica and Quadrum gartneri. The thickest black shale horizon has a TOC content of about 5%, with predominantly marine organic matter of kerogen type II. Vitrinite reflectance and Rock-Eval parameter T_max (<424 °C) indicate low maturity. HI values range from 261 to 362 mg HC/g TOC. δ¹³C values of bulk rock carbonates display the well documented positive shift around the black shale interval, allowing correlation of the Rehkogelgraben section with other sections such as the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) succession at Pueblo, USA, and reference sections at Eastbourne, UK, and Gubbio, Italy. Sediment accumulation rates at Rehkogelgraben (average 2.5 mm/ka) are significantly lower than those at Pueblo and Eastbourne.  相似文献

Baryt und ankerit aus Ammoniten des Berner Juras (Schweiz)     

Hans Rudolf Wenk  Dr. John R. Wenk 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1967,14(2):81-85

Barite has been found for the first time in the Swiss Jura (Hirni, Passwang). Small, white crystals of barite with yellow ankerite grow on calcite in different chambers of a Bajocian ammonite. Chemical data (by microprobe analysis) and lattice parameters (refined by leastsquares from powder patterns) are given for the two minerals. There is a distinct correlation between the cell dimensions and the chemical composition for both of them. The genesis is discussed.  相似文献
