Phosphorus (P) export from agricultural lands above known threshold levels can result in adverse impacts to receiving water quality. Phosphorus loss occurs in dissolved and sediment‐bound, or particulate phosphorous (PP), forms, with the latter often dominating losses from row‐cropped systems. To target practices, land managers need good computer models and model developers need good monitoring data. Sediment monitoring data (e.g. radiometric finger printing and sediment P sorption capacity) can help identify sediment source areas and improve models, but require more sediment mass than is typically obtained by automatic sampling. This study compares a simple suspended sediment sampler developed at the University of Exeter (UE) with automatic sampling in intermittent channels draining corn and alfalfa fields. The corn field had a greater runoff coefficient (27%) than alfalfa (11%). No differences were found in enrichment ratios (sediment constituent/soil constituent) in PP (PP_ER) or percent loss on ignition (LOI_ER) between paired UE samplers on corn. The median LOI_ER for the UE samplers (1·9%) did not differ significantly (p > 0·13) from the automatic sampler (2·0%). The PP_ER from the UE samplers was on average 20% lower than the automatic samplers. A correlation (r² = 0·75) was found between sediment PP and % LOI from automatic samplers and UE samplers for particles < 50 µm, while for > 50 µm PP concentration did not change with changes in % LOI. Sediment ammonium‐oxalate extractable metals were similarly related to LOI, with the strongest correlation for iron (r² = 0·71) and magnesium (r² = 0·70).

The dissociation constants of carbonic acid in seawater at salinities 5 to 45 and temperatures 0 to 45°C     

Rabindra N Roy  Lakshimi N Roy  Kathleen M Vogel  C Porter-Moore  Tara Pearson  Catherine E Good  Frank J Millero  Douglas M Campbell 《Marine Chemistry》1993,44(2-4)

The pK₁^* and pK₂^* for the dissociation of carbonic acid in seawater have been determined from 0 to 45°C and S = 5 to 45. The values of pK₁^* have been determined from emf measurements for the cell: where X is the mole fraction of CO₂ in the gas. The values of pK₂^* have been determined from emf measurements on the cell: The results have been fitted to the equations: where T is the temperature in K, S is the salinity, and the standard deviations of the fits are σ = 0.0048 in lnK₁^* and σ = 0.0070 in lnK₂^*.Our new results are in good agreement at S = 35 (±0.002 in pK₁^*and ±0.005 in pK₂^*) from 0 to 45°C with the earlier results of Goyet and Poisson (1989). Since our measurements are more precise than the earlier measurements due to the use of the Pt, H₂|AgCl, Ag electrode system, we feel that our equations should be used to calculate the components of the carbonate system in seawater.  相似文献

Acidic deposition impacts mediated by sulfur cycling in a coastal plain forest ecosystem     

Mark D. Morgan  Ralph E. Good  Henry G. Spratt Jr. Dr. 《GeoJournal》1988,17(2):183-187

Deposition in the New Jersey Pinelands was very acidic (pH=4.17) and contained high levels of SO₂ ⁻² based on bulk deposition measurementsfrom July 1984–July 1986. Streamwater over the same interval in undisturbed watersheds was less acidic (pH =4.52) and had proportionately less SO₄ ⁻². A preliminary alkalinity budget for undisturbed watersheds suggested that SO₄ ⁻² retention within Pinelands watersheds accounted for a large portion of the total alkalinity generated and thereby lessened the impact of acidic deposition on surface waters. The only process capable of explaining the retention of SO₄ ⁻² was microbial sulfate reduction in the extensive wetlands surrounding Pinelands streams which occurred at high rates.  相似文献   

The roles of surface heat flux and ocean heat transport convergence in determining Atlantic Ocean temperature variability   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The temperature variability of the Atlantic Ocean is investigated using an eddy-permitting (1/4°) global ocean model (ORCA-025) forced with historical surface meteorological fields from 1958 to 2001. The simulation of volume-averaged temperature and the vertical structure of the zonally averaged temperature trends are compared with those from observations. In regions with a high number of observations, in particular above a depth of 500 m and between 22° N and 65° N, the model simulation and the dataset are in good agreement. The relative contribution of variability in ocean heat transport (OHT) convergence and net surface heat flux to changes in ocean heat content is investigated with a focus on three regions: the subpolar and subtropical gyres and the tropics. The surface heat flux plays a relatively minor role in year-to-year changes in the subpolar and subtropical regions, but in the tropical North Atlantic, its role is of similar significance to the ocean heat transport convergence. The strongest signal during the study period is a cooling of the subpolar gyre between 1970 and 1990, which subsequently reversed as the mid-latitude OHT convergence transitioned from an anomalously weak to an anomalously strong state. We also explore whether model OHT anomalies can be linked to surface flux anomalies through a Hovmöller analysis of the Atlantic sector. At low latitudes, increased ocean heat gain coincides with anomalously strong northward transport, whereas at mid-high latitudes, reduced ocean heat loss is associated with anomalously weak heat transport.  相似文献

Limits on Venus' SO2 abundance profile from interferometric observations at 3.4 mm wavelength     

John C. Good  F.Peter Schloerb 《Icarus》1983,53(3):538-547

The role of SO₂ in the chemistry of the clouds of Venus has been investigated by deducing its mixing ratio profile in the atmosphere through millimeter wavelength interferometric measurements of the planet's limb darkening. The first zero crossing of the Venus visibility function was measured to be β₀ = 0.6221 ± 0.0007 at a wavelength of 3.4 mm using a reference radius for Venus of 6100 km. This measurement constrains the amount of limb darkening and shows that the high concentrations of SO₂ found in the lower atmosphere do not persist above an altitude of 42 km. Thus, a sink for SO₂ exists below the level of the lowest cloud deck.  相似文献   

Determination of atomic oxygen density from rocket borne measurement of hydroxyl airglow     

R.Earl Good 《Planetary and Space Science》1976,24(4):389-395

A rocket experiment was conducted which measured the infrared bands of the excited hydroxyl radical in the night airglow. The OH emission was found in a layer centered at 87 km having a half-width of 6 km and a total emission of 1.1 MR. The atomic oxygen altitude profile, ranging from 1.3 × 10¹⁰ atoms/cm³ at 83 km to 3 × 10¹¹ atoms/cm³ at 90 km is determined from the hydroxyl airglow measurements. This derivation is based on the steady state balance between ozone formation from atomic oxygen and its destruction by hydrogen which produces the OH infrared emission.  相似文献
