Observations of the concentration of several nitrogen containing compounds at five rural Scandinavian sites during March–June 1993 are reported. Total nitrate (NO

. A positive correlation was found between HNO3 and O3 in June at all sites, while no correlation was found early in the spring. Model calculations were made with a lagrangian boundary layer photooxidant model for the whole period, and compared to the measured concentrations. The calculated ratio between mean observed and modelled daily maximum concentrations of ozone over the measurement period were within +/–10% at all sites. The models ability to describe the daily ozone maximum concentration was satisfactory with an average deviation of 19–22% from the observed concentrations. HNO3 was underestimated by over 50% at all sites except the one closest to the emission sources. The correlation between modelled and observed concentrations was generally best for the sites with shortest transport distance from the sources of emission. 相似文献

Spain is a relatively large European country (ca. 500,000 km2) with extensive semiarid areas in which there exists a large number of good aquifers. In some areas, these aquifers are intensively
developed and are the most important sources of fresh water. Nevertheless, groundwater development and protection has rarely
been duly considered by the Spanish Water Administration, despite the pressure to remedy this situation by various groups
of experts, some of them members of the Water Administration. The Spanish Committee of the International Association of Hydrogeologists
(IAH) has been very active during the last decade in promoting activities to spread groundwater science, technology, and management
in Spain and outside, mostly in Latin America, and in trying to orient water policy toward issues of groundwater. These activities
include mainly the organization of technical and scientific meetings on current topics such as groundwater in the new Water
Act, overexploitation, groundwater in water-resources planning, groundwater pollution, natural-recharge estimation and others.
The impact of these activities on the recent water policy of Spain seems significant, and the experience gained may be applicable
to other countries.

Fractal trees as a model for drainage systems are described in its generalized non-homogeneous form from the viewpoint of fractal geometry. Box covering techniques are used to show the numerical equivalence between the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension and the similarity dimension of the fractally-dominant dust formed by the sources. In this way, the similarity relationD=log (N)/log (1/r) is reinterpreted in terms of bifurcation and length ratio (r B andr L ) asD=log (r B )/log (r L ). We test this relation for non-homogeneous exact fractal trees and two natural drainage systems. The fact thatr B andr L are common parameters in quantitative geomorphology allows a trivial stimation of the fractal dimension of well-known drainage basins. 相似文献

Egg production of planktonic copepods, is commonly measured as a proxy for secondary production in population dynamics studies
and for quantifying food limitation. Although limitation of copepod egg production by food quantity or quality is common in
natural waters, it appears less common or severe in estuaries where food concentrations are often high. San Francisco Estuary,
California, has unusually low concentrations of chlorophyll compared to other estuaries. We measured egg production rates
of three species ofAcartia, with dominate the zooplankton biomass at salinity above 15 psu, on 36 occasions during 1999–2002. Egg production was determined
by incubating up to 40 freshly collected individual copepods for 24 h in 140 ml of ambient water. Egg production was less
than 10 eggs female−1 d−1 most of the year, but as high as 52 eggs female−1 d−1 during month-long spring phytoplankton blooms. Egg production was a saturating function of total chlorophyll concentration
with a mean of 30 eggs female−1 d−1 above a chlorophyll concentration of 12±6 mg chl m−3. We take chlorophyll to be a proxy for total food ofAcartia, known to feed on microzooplankton as well as phytoplankton. These findings, together with long-term records of chlorophyll,
concentration and earlier studies of abundance of nauplius larvae in the estuary, imply chronic food limitation ofAcartia species, with sufficient food for maximum egg production <10% of the time over the last 25 yr. These results may show the
most extreme example of food limitation of copepod reproduction in any temperate estuary. They further support the idea that
estuaries may provide suitable habitat forAcartia species by virtue of other factors than high food concentration. 相似文献

Ballast water is a major pathway for the transfer of non-indigenous species in aquatic environments. The objectives of this study were to determine the ability of ozone to reduce the numbers of a spectrum of marine organisms collected from Puget Sound, Washington in replicated mesocosm (280 l) experiments, and estimate the minimum ozone concentrations as measured by total residual oxidant (TRO) required to reduce organism densities. Ozone treatment was effective in removing bacteria, phytoplankton, and mesozooplankton with initial TRO concentrations of 2–5 mg l−1 as Br2. Persistence of TRO resulted in an extended period of toxicity and cumulative mortality. TRO decay allowed bacteria populations to multiply when TRO levels fell below 0.5–1.0 mg l−1 as Br2. Phytoplankton chlorophyll a concentrations were rapidly reduced by ozone treatment and did not increase in any treatments or controls because of lack of light. Overall mesozooplankton viability was rapidly reduced by 90–99% in treatment TRO levels above 1.85 mg l−1 as Br2. Our study outlines novel protocols that can be used for testing different potential ballast water treatment systems in replicated and controlled mesocosm experiments. 相似文献

The stratigraphic and regional variation of petrographic and chemical properties within the coals of the Upper Carboniferous Tradewater Formation and surrounding rocks in the Western Kentucky coal field were analyzed with the intent of constructing a depositional model for the occurrence of these low sulfur coals. Cores were megascopically described, and coal samples were analyzed for maceral, ash, and sulfur contents. These data were then analyzed to determine regional variation within the study area, as well as vertical variation within single coal columns.Sedimentological data from core logs indicate that the majority of the Tradewater rocks consist of irregularly distributed, coarsening-upward, fine-grained detrital material that was deposited in shallow bodies of water. Fossiliferous shales and limestones indicate a marine influence. Less common coarse-grained, fining-upward sequences appear to represent deposits of meandering or braided channels.Like the detrital rocks, the coal seams are irregularly distributed and exhibit substantial variation in petrographic and chemical properties which reflect changes in the Eh and pH of the coal swamp waters. These individual swamps were relatively limited in extent and probably occupied a low-lying coastal area. The relatively high vitrinite content of most of the coals suggests a reasonable degree of preservation of decaying plant materials. The study of benched samples from surface mines suggests a distinct dichotomy between swamps that were in more or less continuous contact with sulfate-rich marine or brackish water and those in which peat accumulated in a dominantly fresh-water setting. Most of the latter show a pattern of upward increasing sulfur content and decreasing vitrinite content, indicating increasing influences of oxygenated water that would encourage microbial action and which would degrade the peat and increase the tendency for sulfide precipitation. The high sulfur coals do not display this variability. The high rates of lateral variability encountered in the data suggest that future study should concentrate on smaller areas where variation can be completely documented. 相似文献
