Relationship between atmospheric fluxes and concentrations of terrigenous materials in the surface air over the Japan Sea     

Suzuki  Toshitaka 《Journal of Oceanography》1994,50(2):173-178

Relationship between atmospheric deposition fluxes and concentrations of Si and²¹⁰Po in the surface air were examined through daily basis simultaneous observation at the coast of the Japan Sea. Both the Si and²¹⁰Po, the atmospheric fluxes were highly variable from day to day. According to correlation analysis, there was no significant correlation between flux and atmospheric concentration of these terrigenous materials in the surface air. On the other hand, flux of Si and²¹⁰Po significantly correlated to precipitation rate. These results indicate that the atmospheric flux of terrigenous material is not constantly proportional to atmospheric concentration in the surface air. This may be due to the deposition flux represents an integrated value throughout the air column of in-and below-cloud, while the air concentration represents only the environment of earth's surface.  相似文献   

Mixed-layer characteristics as related to the monsoon climate of New Delhi,India     

M. Gamo  P. Goyal  Manju Kumari  U. C. Mohanty  M. P. Singh 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1994,67(3):213-227

Annual variations of mixed-layer characteristics at New Delhi, India have been studied for a weak monsoon (1987) and a strong monsoon (1988) year. In the weak monsoon year (1987), the maximum mixing depthh _max was found to have a value of around 3000 m during the pre-monsoon, less than 2000 m during the summer monsoon, around 2000 m during the post-monsoon, and less than 1000 m in the winter season. For the strong monsoon year (1988),h _max values were less than 1987 values for comparable periods throughout the year. The seasonal and yearly differences ofh _max were explained by the surface energy balance and potential temperature gradient at a time close to sunrise. According to the spatial patterns of obtained by an objective analysis of the 850 to 700 hPa layers. mixed-layer characteristics obtained at New Delhi are representative of the north and central regions of India.  相似文献   

Thickness of the dry convection and large-scale subsidence above deserts   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. Gamo 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1996,79(3):265-278

Thickness of dry convection above various deserts of the world is obtained from aerological data, and assimilated data from ECMWF. A mixed layer develops up to a height of about 1 km above the central Sahara, where strong subsidence occurs. However, above many other deserts in Africa and Asia, a deep mixed layer develops up to 4–6 km. These mixed layers develop to a high altitude because the daytime mixed layer links with an existing weakly stratified, near-neutral layer above. Large-scale subsidence does not reach the surface throughout the day, except in the winter season. Mixed-layer height is shallower in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere in the summer season.  相似文献   

In-situ survey of nanomolar manganese in seawater using an autonomous underwater vehicle around a volcanic crater at Teishi Knoll,Sagami Bay,Japan

We present the results of a chemical survey at a submarine volcano, Teishi Knoll, obtained using a submersible in-situ Mn analyzer (GAMOS) mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) platform. During this survey, high-resolution data of dissolved Mn were obtained in three dimensions in nearly real time. The AUV enabled continuous detailed observations along a preprogrammed pathway, which could not have been performed with conventional CTD hydrocasts. During this observation, anomalously high dissolved Mn concentrations were obtained within the crater, corresponding to high water temperatures. The anomalies might be a hydrothermal signature due to volcanic activity from the crater.  相似文献   

Silver in Tokyo Bay estuarine waters and Japanese rivers     

Yan Zhang  Hajime Obata  Toshitaka Gamo 《Journal of Oceanography》2008,64(2):259-265

Dissolved and particulate concentrations of silver in Tokyo Bay estuarine waters and Japanese rivers were determined in this study. The dissolved silver concentrations in the surface water of Tokyo Bay range from 5.9 to 15.1 pmol kg⁻¹, which is comparable to those in the surface water of the Japan Sea, but two or three times higher than those in the surface water of the open ocean. However, elevated concentrations of dissolved silver are not found in Tokyo Bay compared with those in other highly urbanized estuaries, such as San Francisco Bay (20∼243 pmol kg⁻¹). In the Tokyo Bay estuary, silver typically exhibits non-conservative mixing behavior, which is a common feature in the other estuaries reported previously. Dissolved silver concentrations decrease with salinity from the rivers to the mouth of Tokyo Bay. Silver is efficiently scavenged by suspended particulates, as evidenced by the high conditional distribution coefficients for silver throughout the estuary (log K_d > 5.0 ± 0.6). The silver fluxes into Tokyo Bay via inflowing rivers and atmospheric deposition were estimated as 83 kg y⁻¹ and 15 kg y⁻¹, respectively. A simple budget calculation shows that the silver supplied from rivers and atmosphere must be rapidly scavenged within the Tokyo Bay estuary.  相似文献   

Long-term bottom water warming in the north Ross Sea     

Hirokazu Ozaki  Hajime Obata  Mikio Naganobu  Toshitaka Gamo 《Journal of Oceanography》2009,65(2):235-244

We measured potential temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen profiles from the surface to the bottom at two locations in the north Ross Sea (65.2°S, 174.2°E and 67.2°S, 172.7°W) in December 2004. Comparison of our data with previous results from the same region reveals an increase in potential temperature and decreases in salinity and dissolved oxygen concentration in the bottom layer (deeper than 3000 m) over the past four decades. The changes were significantly different from the analytical precisions. Detailed investigation of the temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and σ ₃ value distributions and the bottom water flow in the north Ross Sea suggests a long-term change in water mass mixing balance. That is to say, it is speculated that the influence of cool, saline, high-oxygen bottom water (high-salinity Ross Sea Bottom Water) formed in the southwestern Ross Sea has possibly been decreased, while the influences of relatively warmer and fresher bottom water (low-salinity Ross Sea Bottom Water) and the Adélie Land Bottom Water coming from the Australia-Antarctic Basin have increased. The possible impact of global warming on ocean circulation needs much more investigation.  相似文献   

The Kellwasser events in the Upper Devonian Frasnian to Famennian transition in the Toc Tat Formation,northern Vietnam

Upper Devonian carbonates of the Toc Tat Formation in the Si Phai Pass area of Dong Van District, northern Vietnam were deposited in carbonate platform, slope, and basin environments. These carbonates yield abundant conodonts indicative of the Palmatolepis nasuta, Pa. linguiformis and Pa. triangularis zones, the Frasnian–Famennian stage boundary being identified by the first occurrence of Pa. triangularis. Two positive carbon isotope excursions are recognized, the lower excursion peaking in the interval of the lower to middle Pa. nasuta Zone, whilst the upper excursion peaks just above the local Frasnian–Famennian boundary. Based on the biostratigraphy, these excursions equate to the Lower and Upper Kellwasser events. Locally, tentaculitoid taxa (Nowakia, Styliolina, Homoctenus, and Metastyliolina?) are abundant in the interval of the Pa. nasuta Zone, but show a drastic decline in abundance before the Lower Kellwasser Event, and only two taxa survived into the Famennian.  相似文献
