Spatial Variation in the Structure of Kelp Forest Communities Along a Wave Exposure Gradient

Abstract. Four sites were sampled in kelp (Macrocysiis pyrifera) forests occupying rocky bottom habitats along a wave exposure gradient in central California. Consistent betwecn-site differences were found in the three major structural elements - the surface canopy, the undcrstory assemblage, and the ground cover/turf assemblage - of kelp forest communities. Macrocysiis pyrifera was found at all four sites. Nereucyslis tuelkeana only at the most exposed site. The understory kelps Laminaria setchellii and Pterygopltora californica were also characteristic of exposed sites. Articulated coralline algae were more abundant at exposed sites than protected, while fleshy red algae showed the opposite pattern. All four study sites were located along 8.5 km of coastline, and thus were assumed to have available to them the same species pool for colonization. The substrate composition was the same and the amount of unconsolidated substrate was similar at all four sites. We suggest that exposure to wave-generated water motion, through its influence on the surface canopy and therefore on the amount of light reaching the bottom, is responsible for these between-site differences.  相似文献   

The Solar Flare of November 4, 2001, and Its Manifestations in Energetic Particles from Coronas-F Data     

Kuznetsov  S. N.  Bogomolov  A. V.  Denisov  Yu. I.  Kordylewski  Z.  Kudela  K.  Kurt  V. G.  Lisin  D. V.  Myagkova  I. N.  Podorol'skii  A. N.  Podosenova  T. B.  Svertilov  S. I.  Sylwester  J.  Stepanov  A. I.  Yushkov  B. Yu. 《Solar System Research》2003,37(2):121-127

Based on X-ray, gamma-ray, and charged-particle measurements with several instruments onboard the Coronas-F satellite and on ACE and GOES experimental data presented on the Internet, we investigate the parameters of the solar flare of November 4, 2001, and the energetic-particle fluxes produced by it in circumterrestrial space. The increase in relativistic-electron fluxes for about 1.5 days points to a moving source (shock front). The structure of the energetic-particles fluxes in the second half of November 5, 2001, can be explained by the passage of the coronal mass ejection that was ejected on November 1, 2001, and that interacted with the shock wave from the flare of November 4, 2001.  相似文献   

Observations of neutral hydrogen in the corona     

I. S. Kim  V. V. Popov  D. V. Lisin  A. P. Osokin 《Geomagnetism and Aeronomy》2013,53(7):901-903

Measurements of the linear polarization degree (p) of the emission in the inner corona (<1.5 R _⊙) in the green and red continuum ranges are discussed. “Excess p” (Δp = pgreen — pred), which reaches its maximum at 1.2–1.3 R _⊙ (<5%) in the polar regions and 20% within large-scale streamers, is present everywhere in the corona. It has been mentioned that excess p can be explained by the presence of neutral hydrogen in the corona.  相似文献   

Measurement of Extreme Ultraviolet Solar Radiation in Different Wavelength Intervals Onboard the <Emphasis Type="Italic">CORONAS</Emphasis> Satellites: Instruments and Main Results     

A. A. Nusinov  T. V. Kazachevskaya  V. V. Katyushina  P. M. Svidskii  Yu. N. Tsigel'nitskii  D. A. Gonyukh  A. N. Afanas'ev  S. I. Boldyrev  D. V. Lisin  A. I. Stepanov 《Solar System Research》2005,39(6):470-478

The paper presents a brief review of the instruments developed for measurement of ionizing extreme UV solar radiation at wavelengths of less than 130 nm onboard the CORONAS-I and CORONAS-F satellites and summarizes the observation data. The main goal of the study was to obtain information concerning variations of fluxes of solar radiation and solar flares at various wavelengths in the extreme ultraviolet. SUFR radiometers based on the thermoluminescent method were mounted onboard both CORONAS satellites (CORONAS-I and CORONAS-F). They performed measurements at λ < 130 nm. Spectral measurements in the 30.4-nm line were made by the photoelectronic spectrometer VUSS tested on CORONAS-I. Spectral measurements in the waveband including the H L_α line (121.6 nm) were conducted by the VUSS-L instrument (a Lyman alpha spectrophotometer) onboard the CORONAS-F satellite. The basic characteristics of the instruments, which were supposed to be used in a system of space weather monitoring on patrol satellites of the hydrometeorological service of Russia, are presented. The main data on the solar radiation flux at λ < 130 nm for minimum and maximum solar activity are given for quiet conditions and during solar flares.  相似文献   

Hard X-ray Radiation from Solar Flares in the Second Half of 2001: Preliminary Results of the SPR-N Experiment Onboard the Coronas-F Satellite     

Bogomolov  A. V.  Denisov  Yu. I.  Kuznetsov  S. N.  Lisin  D. V.  Logachev  Yu. I.  Morozov  O. V.  Myagkova  I. N.  Svertilov  S. I.  Zhitnik  I. A.  Ignat'ev  A. P.  Oparin  S. N.  Pertsov  A. A.  Stepanov  A. I.  Tindo  I. P. 《Solar System Research》2003,37(2):112-120

The first results of the experiment with the SPR-N hard X-ray (20–100 keV) polarimeter onboard the Coronas-F observatory (the experiment started on August 15, 2001) are presented. Hard X-ray radiation was detected from several solar flares. The spectral and temporal parameters were determined and the polarization was estimated. Comparison with the GOES observations of thermal X-ray radiation shows that hard X-ray bursts occur at the growth phase of the thermal radiation and that they are associated with the bremsstrahlung of energetic electrons precipitating into the solar atmosphere.  相似文献   

Resik: A Bent Crystal X-ray Spectrometer for Studies of Solar Coronal Plasma Composition

We describe the RESIK (REntgenovsky Spektrometr s Izognutymi Kristalami) instrument, consisting of two double-channel X-ray spectrometers, designed to observe solar active region and flare plasmas. RESIK is one of the instruments making up the scientific payload of the Russian CORONAS-F solar mission. The uncollimated spectrometer uses two silicon and two quartz bent crystals observing flare, active region and coronal spectra in four wavelength bands with a resolving power (/ ) of 1000. The wavelength coverage, 3.3–6.1 Å, includes emission lines of Si, S, Cl, Ar, and K and in the third diffraction order, the wavelength range includes He-like Fe lines (1.85 Å) and Ni lines (1.55 Å) with dielectronic satellites, emitted during intense, hot flares. The instrument is believed to be the best calibrated space-borne crystal spectrometer flown to date. The spectrometer dynamically adjusts the data gathering intervals from 1 s to 5 minutes, depending on the level of solar X-ray emission at the time of observation. The principal aims of RESIK are the measurements of relative and absolute element abundances in the emitting plasma and the temperature distribution of plasma (differential emission measure) over the temperature interval 3 and 50 MK. This paper summarizes the scientific objectives of RESIK and describes the design, characteristics, and performance of the instrument.  相似文献
