A two-? ocean reservoir model is employed to examine the combined effects of vertical ocean circulation, organic matter extraction and cosmic ray production on the14C/12C in the atmosphere, ocean and sediment. In this model, dissolution of deep-sea calcium carbonate sediment is assumed to respond to the supply of particulate carbonate from the surface ocean and to the dissolved carbonate-ion concentration of the deep-sea.If the vertical ocean circulation decreased by 50% during the maximum rate of deglaciation, the atmospheric14C/12C would have increased concurrently by 10% relative to the pre-bomb present. Further, if cosmic ray production of14C was 50% greater than present at about 7800 years B.P. as suggested by archeomagnetic measurements, a double maximum of 10% occurs. The first is at about 10.5 ka and the second at 6.5 ka. This result is similar to the variation of14C/12C over the last 10,000 years calculated from the14C dates measured by Stuiver on the varved Lake of the Clouds. The result is not sensibly altered if 1017 moles of organic carbon is extracted from the ocean during sea-level rise.Reduction of the thermohaline ocean circulation by 50% over a one- to two-thousand-year interval would not be sensibly detected in the dating of deep-sea sediment. If Broecker's organic nutrient extraction occurs in conjunction with reduction of vertical circulation, a decrease in the atmospheric PCO2 will precede the eventual rise. 相似文献

The methane concentration in the atmosphere andsurface water was surveyed along 58° N acrossthe North Sea. In addition, the vertical methanedistribution in the water column was determined at sixstations along the transect. The methane contents ofthe surface water as well as in the water column wereextremely inhomogeneous. Input by freshwater fromriver discharge and injection of methane from thesediment were both observed. The survey continued fromthe western side of the North Sea to the Elbe Riverestuary. The Elbe River appears to have low methaneconcentrations compared to other European rivers, itsaverage input into the North Sea is estimated to be70 nmol s-1 of methane. Near 58° N,1°40' E, an abandoned drill site releases about 25 % ofthe North Sea's emission of methane to the atmosphere.The advective methane transport induced by watercirculation was assessed for May 16, 1994, using a 3-DNorth Sea circulation model. For the period of thissurvey, the North Sea's source strength foratmospheric methane is estimated using in situwind velocities. In comparison to the advectivetransport by the water circulation, the gas flux tothe atmosphere appears to be the dominant sink ofNorth Sea methane. This flux is estimated to bebetween 1500 · 106 mol a-1 and 3100 ·106mol a-1, depending on the relationbetween wind speed and gas transfer velocity. 相似文献

The depth distribution of pteropod and planktonic foram tests, and fine-grained (<62 μm) aragonite, high-Mg calcite (12 mode mol.% MgCO3), and low-Mg calcite has been determined for surface sediments of an area of the eastern slope of the Bermuda pedestal. Over the range 1800–3000 m, fine-grained aragonite and fine-grained high-Mg calcite gradually disappear relative to fine-grained low-Mg calcite, and pteropods gradually disappear relative to planktonic forams. This is interpreted as preferential dissolution of aragonite (and high-Mg calcite) relative to low-Mg calcite over this depth range. Coarse aragonitic debris derived from shallow-water organisms living on the Bermuda platform does not show consistent disappearance over the same depth zone. Chemical analyses of bottom water samples taken at the same time as some of the sediment samples indicate that the degree of saturation with respect to aragonite ΩA over the zone of aragonite disappearance ranges from 0.55 to 0.85; i.e. major dissolution occurs only at ΩA values distinctly less than one. These results lend credence to the hypothesis that CaCO3 dissolution in the oceans, both as aragonite and as calcite, takes place mainly as a response to complex chemical kinetic phenomena and not as a result of the simple attainment of undersaturation (thermodynamic hypothesis) or the resuspension of bottom sediment (hydrodynamic hypothesis). 相似文献

Hydrothermal emission of mantle helium appears to be directly related to magma production rate, but other processes can generate methane and hydrogen on mid-ocean ridges. In an on-going effort to characterize these processes in the South Atlantic, the flux and distribution of these gases were investigated in the vicinity of a powerful black smoker recently discovered at 8°17.9' S, 13°30.4' W. The vent lies on the shoulder of an oblique offset in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and discharges high concentrations of methane and hydrogen. Measurements during expeditions in 2004 and 2006 show that the ratio of CH4 to 3He in the neutrally buoyant plume is quite high, 4 × 108. The CTD stations were accompanied by velocity measurements with lowered acoustic Doppler current profilers (LADCP), and from these data we estimate the methane transport to have been 0.5 mol s− 1 in a WSW-trending plume that seems to develop during the ebb tidal phase. This transport is an order of magnitude greater than the source of CH4 calculated from its concentration in the vent fluid and the rise height of the plume. From this range of methane fluxes, the source of 3He is estimated to be between 0.14 and 1.2 nmol s− 1. In either case, the 3He source is significantly lower than expected from the spreading rate of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. From the inventory of methane in the rift valley adjacent to the vent, it appears that the average specific rate of oxidation is 2.6 to 23 yr− 1, corresponding to a turnover time between 140 and 16 days. Vertical profiles of methane in the surrounding region often exhibited Gaussian-like distributions, and the variances appear to increase with distance from the vent. Using a Gaussian plume model, we obtained a range of vertical eddy diffusivities between 0.009 and 0.08 m2m2 s− 1. These high values may be due to tidally driven internal waves across the promontory on which the vent is located. 相似文献

Volcanic stratigraphy of DSDP/ODP Hole 395A: An interpretation using well-logging data 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Deep Sea Drilling Project/Ocean Drilling Program Hole 395A was drilled approximately 500 m deep into young oceanic crust west
of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Core recovery is very poor in this hole and therefore continuous downhole measurements are important
to understand the drilled lithology. Geophysical downhole measurements were carried out during several cruises. A new set
of logs was recorded during Leg 174B in summer 1997. The new logging data show a significant improvement in data quality compared
to older measurements from Leg 109. The lithostratigraphy established from cores gives only limited information because of
the poor core recovery in this hole. The gaps in the core lithostratigraphy are filled by reconstructing a synthetic lithological
profile using the standard well-logging data. Three types of lava morphologies, massive basalts, altered lava flows, and pillow
basalts, may be distinguished using the logs because the lava morphologies show differences in their physical properties due
to differences in fracturing and alteration. The synthetic lithological profile gives a more detailed and precise vertical
definition of single layers than the core profile. The integration of further logging and core data enables a detailed reconstruction
of the accretion history at the drill site. Cyclic, upward decreasing trends in the resistivity logs were already observed
during earlier cruises and were referred to magmatic cycles. Similar trends occur in the density log and, inversely, in the
total gamma ray log. The trends reflect gradual changes in fracturing, porosity, permeability, and alteration and cover depth
intervals of several tens of meters. Boundaries between cycles are interpreted to correspond to periods of volcanic quiescence.
Two types of boundaries may be identified. Boundaries correlating with reversals in the magnetic field and/or changes in the
geochemical composition of the basalts are interpreted as long pauses. Basalts separated by these boundaries were probably
fed by separate magma reservoirs. Boundaries identified only by changes in alteration but not in geochemistry are interpreted
to represent shorter pauses. They separate basalts that were probably fed by the same magma chamber.
This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

In this study, we draw on a unique combination of well‐resolved fault‐slip data and earthquake focal mechanisms to constrain spatial variations in style of faulting in the obliquely extending Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa. These data show that both boundary and internal faults – oblique and orthogonal to the plate divergence (PD) respectively – exhibit almost pure dip‐slip motion, and indicate significant local deflection in orientation of the extension direction at rift margins. Scaled analogue models closely replicate the multidisciplinary observations from the rift and suggest that the process is controlled by the presence of a deep‐seated, pre‐existing weakness – oblique to the direction of PD – that is able to cause a local rotation in the orientation of the extension direction at rift margins. Minor counterclockwise block rotations are required to accommodate the difference in slip direction along the different fault systems, as supported by existing and new palaeomagnetic data from the rift. 相似文献

Setting limit on groundwater extractions is important to ensure sustainable groundwater management. Lack of extraction data can affect interpretations of historical pressure changes, predictions of future impacts, accuracy of groundwater model calibration, and identification of sustainable management options. Yet, many groundwater extractions are unmetered. Therefore, there is a need for models that estimate extraction rates and quantify model outputs uncertainties arising due to a lack of data. This paper develops such a model within the Generalized Linear Modeling (GLM) framework, using a case study of stock and domestic (SD) extractions in the Surat Cumulative Management Area, a predominantly cattle farming region in eastern Australia. Various types of extraction observations were used, ranging from metering to analytically-derived estimates. GLMs were developed and applied to estimate the property-level extraction amounts, where observation types were weighted by perceived relative accuracy, and well usage status. The primary variables found to affect property-level extraction rates were: yearly average temperature and rainfall, pasture, property area, and number of active wells; while variables most affecting well usage were well water electrical conductivity, spatial coordinates, and well age. Results were compared with analytical estimates of property-level extraction, illustrating uncertainties and potential biases across 20 hydrogeological units. Spatial patterns of mean extraction rates (and standard deviations) are presented. It is concluded that GLMs are well suited to the problem of extraction rate estimation and uncertainty analysis, and are ideal when model verification is supported by measurement of a random sample of properties. 相似文献

Abiogenic methane may be produced in submarine hydrothermal systems by degassing of basalts or serpentinization of ultramafic outcrops. The latter process presumably releases little primordial helium and is therefore implicated by high CH4/3He ratios in vent fluids from the ultramafic-hosted Rainbow field and in methane plumes near ultramafic outcrops. In two segments of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, at 5.4°N and 51°N, we have observed depth-separated CH4 and 3He plumes. In both cases, the helium plume was deeper, near the valley floor. It may be that the plumes issue from separate vents, where the helium is discharged near the volcanic axis and the methane is generated by serpentinization on the valley wall. However, at the present time the locations of the vents that produce these plumes are not known. Using a one-pass model, we investigated whether separate venting could arise from heat conduction from a primary, helium-carrying, hydrothermal circulation to a second, shallower fracture loop intersecting ultramafic rock. The model results indicate that the flow rate through the secondary loop would have to be relatively low in order for it to stay warm enough for serpentinization to proceed. In this case, some of the exothermic heat production is lost by conduction, and the temperature increase in the circulating fluid is only a fraction of that expected from a water/rock ratio of 1:1. 相似文献
