A theory for the formation of Saturn and its family of satellites, which is based on ideas of supersonic turbulent convection applied to the original Laplacian hypothesis, is presented. It is shown that if the primitive rotating cloud which gravitationally contracted to form Saturn possessed the same level of turbulent kinetic energy as the clouds which formed Jupiter and the Sun, given by % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr% 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq-Jc9% vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0-yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr-x% fr-xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaWaaSqaaSqaai% aaigdaaeaacaaIYaaaaOGaaiikaiabeg8aYnaaBaaajea4baGaamiD% aaWcbeaakiaadAhadaqhaaqcKfaGaeaadaWgaaqcKjaGaeaacaWG0b% aabeaaaSqaaiaaikdaaaGccaGGPaGaeyypa0ZaaSqaaSqaaiaaigda% aeaacaaIYaaaaOGaeqOSdiMaeqyWdiNaam4raiaad2eacaGGOaGaam% OCaiaacMcacaGGVaGaamOCaaaa!4D3D!\[\tfrac{1}{2}(\rho _t v_{_t }^2 ) = \tfrac{1}{2}\beta \rho GM(r)/r\] where =0.1065 ± 0.0015, then it would shed a concentric system of orbiting gas rings each of about the same mass: namely, 1.0 × 10–3

The densities predicted by the model coincide with the Voyager-determined values. Iapetus contains some 8% by weight solid CH4. Titan is believed to be a captured satellite. It was probably responsible for driving Iapetus to its present distant orbit. Accretional time-scales and the post-accretional evolution of the satellites are briefly discussed. 相似文献

The Mt Giluwe shield volcano was the largest area glaciated in Papua New Guinea during the Pleistocene. Despite minimal cooling of the sea surface during the last glacial maximum, glaciers reached elevations as low as 3200 m. To investigate changes in the extent of ice through time we have re-mapped evidence for glaciation on the southwest flank of Mt Giluwe. We find that an ice cap has formed on the flanks of the mountain on at least three, and probably four, separate occasions. To constrain the ages of these glaciations we present 39 new cosmogenic 36Cl exposure ages complemented by new radiocarbon dates. Direct dating of the moraines identifies that the maximum extent of glaciation on the mountain was not during the last glacial maximum as previously thought. In conjunction with existing potassium/argon and radiocarbon dating, we recognise four distinct glacial periods between 293–306 ka (Gogon Glaciation), 136–158 ka (Mengane Glaciation), centred at 62 ka (Komia Glaciation) and from >20.3–11.5 ka (Tongo Glaciation). The temperature difference relative to the present during the Tongo Glaciation is likely to be of the order of at least 5 °C which is a minimum difference for the previous glaciations. During the Tongo Glaciation, ice was briefly at its maximum for less than 1000 years, but stayed near maximum levels for nearly 4000 years, until about 15.4 ka. Over the next 4000 years there was more rapid retreat with ice free conditions by the early Holocene. 相似文献

The concepts of pollen source area and of production and dispersal biases in pollen representation are quantified by means of a simple theoretical model. Source areas and relative pollen representation are shown to depend on basin size according to functions that describe the amount of pollen remaining airborne at increasing distances from single pollen sources. The form of these functions is determined by physical processes. Standard formulas for elevated sources do not apply, but the integrated form of Sutton's equation for particle dispersal from a ground-level source gives useful approximations applicable to pollen transport over a forest canopy. Simulations using this equation yielded source areas that increased realistically with basin size, showed substantial differences between source areas for pollen grains with different deposition velocities, and predicted that lighter pollen grains should become better represented with increasing basin size. All of these predictions are qualitatively consistent with present knowledge of the characteristics of pollen assemblages in different depositional environments. The model further allows parameters that can be estimated by statistical calibration methods to be predicted from underlying physical quantities. This extension suggests procedures for testing the theory with quantitative data on surface pollen and forest composition. Preliminary results showed reasonable agreement between estimated and predicted values of dispersal indices for the most abundant taxa in pollen spectra from the northern midwestern United States. 相似文献

The origin of Jupiter and the Galilean satellite system is examinedin the light of the new data that has been obtained by
the NASA Galileo Project. In particular, special attention is given to a theory of satellite origin which was put forward
at the start of the Galileo Mission and on the basis of which several predictions have now been proven successful (Prentice,
1996a–c). These predictions concern the chemical composition of Jupiter's atmosphere and the physical structure of the satellites.
According to the proposed theory of satellite origin, each of the Galilean satellites formed by chemical condensation and
gravitational accumulation of solid grains within a concentricfamily of orbiting gas rings. These rings were cast off equatorially
by the rotating proto-Jovian cloud (PJC) which contracted gravitationally to form Jupiter some 4
billion years ago. The PJC formed from the gas and grains left over from the gas ring that had been shed at Jupiter's orbit
by the contracting proto-solar cloud (PSC). Supersonic turbulentconvection provides the means for shedding discrete gas rings.The
temperatures Tn of the system of gas rings shed by the PSCand PJC vary with their respective mean orbital radii Rn (n = 0, 1, 2, Ϊ ) according as Tn ∝ Rn
-0.9. If the planet Mercury condenses at 1640 K, so accounting for the high density ofthat planet via a process of chemical fractionation
between iron and silicates, then Tn at Jupiter's orbit is 158 K. Only 35% of the water vapour condenses out. Thus fractionation between rock and ice, together
with an enhancement in the abundance of solids relative to gas which takes place through gravitational sedimentation of solids
onto the mean orbit of the gas ring, ensures nearly equal proportions of rock and ice in each of Ganymede and Callisto. Io
and Europa condense above the H2O ice point and consist solely of hydrated rock (h-rock). The Ganymedan condensate consists of h-rock and H2O ice. For Callisto, NH3 ice makes up ∼5% of the condensate mass next to h-rock (∼50%) and H2O ice (∼45%).
Detailed thermal and structural models for each of Europa, Ganymedeand Callisto are constructed on the basis of the above
initial bulk chemicalcompositions. For Europa (E), a predicted 2-zone model consisting of a dehydrated rock core of mass 0.912ME and a 150 km thick frozen mantle of salty H2O yields a moment-of-inertiacoefficient which matches the Galileo Orbiter gravity measurement. For Ganymede (G), a 3-zone
model possessing an inner core of solid FeS and mass ∼0.116MG, and an outer H2O ice mantle of mass ∼0.502MG is needed to explain the gravity data.Ganymede's native magnetic field was formed by thermoremanent magnetization of Fe3O4. A new Callisto (C) model is proposed consisting of a core of mass 0.826MC containing a uniform mixture of h-rock (60% by mass) and H2O and NH3 ices, and capped by a mantle of pure ice. This model may have the capacity to yield a thin layer of liquid NH3ċ2H2O at the core boundary, in line with Galileo's discovery of an induced magnetic field

A rotating disk electrode (RDE) is applied as a dissolved oxygen sensor and corrosion rate probe. As an oxygen sensor, the RDE is capable ofpm0.004 -ml/l resolution andpm0.17 -ml/l accuracy. As a corrosion rate probe, the RDE behaves more closely to theory than stationary electrodes. These applications make use of the RDE's unique hydrodynamic properties. 相似文献

Palaeoclimates across Europe for 6000 y BP were estimated from pollen data using the modern pollen analogue technique constrained
with lake-level data. The constraint consists of restricting the set of modern pollen samples considered as analogues of the
fossil samples to those locations where the implied change in annual precipitation minus evapotranspiration (P–E) is consistent with the regional change in moisture balance as indicated by lakes. An artificial neural network was used
for the spatial interpolation of lake-level changes to the pollen sites, and for mapping palaeoclimate anomalies. The climate
variables reconstructed were mean temperature of the coldest month (T
c
), growing degree days above 5 °C (GDD), moisture availability expressed as the ratio of actual to equilibrium evapotranspiration (α), and P–E. The constraint improved the spatial coherency of the reconstructed palaeoclimate anomalies, especially for P–E. The reconstructions indicate clear spatial and seasonal patterns of Holocene climate change, which can provide a quantitative
benchmark for the evaluation of palaeoclimate model simulations. Winter temperatures (T
c
) were 1–3 K greater than present in the far N and NE of Europe, but 2–4 K less than present in the Mediterranean region.
Summer warmth (GDD) was greater than present in NW Europe (by 400–800 K day at the highest elevations) and in the Alps, but >400 K day less
than present at lower elevations in S Europe. P–E was 50–250 mm less than present in NW Europe and the Alps, but α was 10–15% greater than present in S Europe and P–E was 50–200 mm greater than present in S and E Europe.

Tropical paleoclimates at the Last Glacial Maximum: comparison of Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) simulations and paleodata 总被引：12，自引：2，他引：10

Seventeen simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate have been performed using atmospheric general circulation
models (AGCM) in the framework of the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP). These simulations use the boundary
conditions for CO2, insolation and ice-sheets; surface temperatures (SSTs) are either (a) prescribed using CLIMAP data set (eight models) or
(b) computed by coupling the AGCM with a slab ocean (nine models). The present-day (PD) tropical climate is correctly depicted
by all the models, except the coarser resolution models, and the simulated geographical distribution of annual mean temperature
is in good agreement with climatology. Tropical cooling at the LGM is less than at middle and high latitudes, but greatly
exceeds the PD temperature variability. The LGM simulations with prescribed SSTs underestimate the observed temperature changes
except over equatorial Africa where the models produce a temperature decrease consistent with the data. Our results confirm
previous analyses showing that CLIMAP (1981) SSTs only produce a weak terrestrial cooling. When SSTs are computed, the models
depict a cooling over the Pacific and Indian oceans in contrast with CLIMAP and most models produce cooler temperatures over
land. Moreover four of the nine simulations, produce a cooling in good agreement with terrestrial data. Two of these model
results over ocean are consistent with new SST reconstructions whereas two models simulate a homogeneous cooling. Finally,
the LGM aridity inferred for most of the tropics from the data, is globally reproduced by the models with a strong underestimation
for models using computed SSTs.

Subfossil pollen and plant macrofossil data derived from 14C-dated sediment profiles can provide quantitative information on glacial and interglacial climates. The data allow climate variables related to growing-season warmth, winter cold, and plant-available moisture to be reconstructed. Continental-scale reconstructions have been made for the mid-Holocene (MH, around 6 ka) and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, around 21 ka), allowing comparison with palaeoclimate simulations currently being carried out as part of the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The synthesis of the available MH and LGM climate reconstructions and their uncertainties, obtained using modern-analogue, regression and model-inversion techniques, is presented for four temperature variables and two moisture variables. Reconstructions of the same variables based on surface-pollen assemblages are shown to be accurate and unbiased. Reconstructed LGM and MH climate anomaly patterns are coherent, consistent between variables, and robust with respect to the choice of technique. They support a conceptual model of the controls of Late Quaternary climate change whereby the first-order effects of orbital variations and greenhouse forcing on the seasonal cycle of temperature are predictably modified by responses of the atmospheric circulation and surface energy balance. 相似文献

Pollen diagrams traditionally are read as if pollen percentages were linearly related to relative tree abundances, although the slopes and intercepts of these relationships are accepted to differ among taxa. Corresponding map patterns of modern pollen and tree percentages support this assumption of linearity, which also underlies the use of linear regression on percentage data for pollen-tree calibration. Fagerlind, however, showed that the theoretical relationship need not be linear and may be confounded by interdependencies among taxa. Regressions and scatter plots of modern pollen and tree percentages are here compared with results of extended R-value (ERV) models, which correct for the ‘Fagerlind effect’. Three data sets from Wisconsin and Michigan, USA illustrate that regression coefficients provide a first approximation to their ERV equivalents, but scatter plots derived from the ERV analyses show reduced scatter about linearised relationships. 相似文献
