Reservoir timescales for anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere

Non-steady state timescales are complicated and their application to specific geophysical systems requires a common theoretical foundation. We first extend reservoir theory by quantifying the difference between turnover time and transit time (or residence time) for time-dependent systems under any mixing conditions. We explicitly demonstrate the errors which result from assuming these timescales are equal, which is only true at steady state. We also derive a new response function which allows the calculation of age distributions and timescales for well-mixed reservoirs away from steady state, and differentiate between timescales based on gross and net fluxes. These theoretical results are particularly important to tracer-calibrated "box models" currently used to study the carbon cycle, which usually approximate reservoirs as well-mixed. We then apply the results to the important case of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere, since timescales describing its behavior are commonly used but ambiguously defined. All relevant timescales, including lifetime, transit time, and adjustment time, are precisely defined and calculated from data and models. Apparent discrepancies between the current, empirically determined turnover time of 30-60 years and longer model-derived estimates of expected lifetime and adjustment time are explained within this theoretical framework. We also discuss the results in light of policy issues related to global warming, in particular since any comparisons of the "lifetimes" of different greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O, CFC's etc.) must use a consistent definition to be meaningful.  相似文献   

Distribution of moderately volatile trace elements in fine-grained chondrule rims in the unequilibrated CO3 chondrite, ALH A77307     

Brearley AJ  Bajt S  Sutton SR 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1995,59(20):4307-4316

The concentrations of Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, and Se in five, fine-grained chondrule rims in the highly unequilibrated CO3 chondrite ALH A77307 (3.0) have been determined for the first time by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) microprobe at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These elements are especially useful for tracing the role of condensation and evaporation processes which occurred at moderate temperatures in the solar nebula. Understanding the distribution of moderately volatile elements between matrix and chondrules is extremely important for evaluating the different models for the volatile depletions in chondritic meteorites. The data show that the trace element chemistry of rims on different chondrules is remarkably similar, consistent with data obtained for the major and minor elements by electron microprobe. These results support the idea that rims are not genetically related to individual chondrules, but all sampled the same reservoir of homogeneously mixed dust. Of the trace elements analyzed, Zn and Ga show depletions relative to CI chondrite values, but in comparison with bulk CO chondrites all the elements are enriched by approximately 1.5 to 3.5 x CO. The abundance patterns for moderately volatile elements in ALH A77307 chondrule rims closely mimic those observed in the bulk chondrite, indicating that matrix is the major reservoir for these elements. The close matching of the patterns for the volatile depleted bulk chondrite and enriched matrix is especially striking for Na, which is anomalously depleted in ALH A77307 in comparison with average CO chondrite abundances. The depletion in Na is probably attributable to the effects of leaching in Antarctica. With the exception of Na, the volatile elements show a relatively smooth decrease in abundance as a function of condensation temperature, indicating that their behavior is largely controlled by their volatility.  相似文献

再考查深成岩体侵位作用     

Pate.  SR 吕贻峰 《地质科学译丛》1995,12(1):11-15

以前有关深成岩体的侵位研究都试图解释岩体侵位空间如何形成。事实上，幔源岩浆侵位期间在地壳中“制造空间”的途径不外乎；（１）莫霍面降低；（２）地球表面外移。其它的“岩体侵位机制”均是不增加地壳体积的物质迁移作用（ＭＴＰｓ）。得到广泛引用的“同心带状气球膨胀岩体”侵位时的ＭＴＰｓ是岩体附近围岩的韧性流动。这类深成岩体附近可能形成的构造和总应变与岩体的三维形态、接触变质带的宽度以及岩体是否为刺穿底辟有关  相似文献   

用磷灰石除Pb:处理地下水重金属污染的意义     

Yuping Xu  Franklin W.Schwartz  曹玉清 《世界地质》1993,(1)

利用合成磷灰石可以从水溶液中除去铅和其它重金属离子,对于含有大约100ppm二价铅的水溶液少量的羟基磷灰石就可以很容易地把铅的浓度减小到ppb级水平,或者到检出水平以下。这一反应取决于溶液中Pb~(2+)的含量和羟基磷灰石的含量,反应可以很快,几分钟内即可完成。通常认为反应机理主要是铅磷酸盐的沉淀作用。在自然界的地球化学条件下,溶液中的铅趋向于沉淀转变成相当难溶和稳定的磷氯铅矿。扫描电子显微镜  相似文献
