A steady quasi-geostrophic 2.5-layer model, forced by both Ekman pumping and a mass source/sink situated at the western boundary
has been constructed to investigate the effect of diapycnal transport due to convection in the Okhotsk Sea and tidal mixing
at the Kuril Straits on the intermediate layer in the North Pacific. The model illustrates a combined effect of the wind-driven
and mass-driven circulations. First, net mass input induces a “barotropic” mode inter-gyre flow along the western boundary
through the dynamical influence of Kelvin waves. This flow creates characteristic curves (geostrophic contours) that facilitate
inter-gyre communication through the western boundary layer from the location of the mass source to the subtropical gyre.
Due to the effect of wind-driven circulation, the offshore part turns eastward into the interior, encircles the outer rim
of the region (which would otherwise be the pool region in the absence of mass input), and then encounters the western boundary.
Eventually, the water fed into the lower layer flows mostly along this path and later flows away to the equatorial region.
Conversely, in the upper layer, water is fed from the equator to the subtropics, and to the subpolar interior region through
the western boundary current. The water then circulates along the outer rim and is absorbed into the mass sink. The model
is controlled mainly by three nondimensional parameters: (1) the ratio of net mass input rate to the maximum Sverdrup transport
(Q/T
Sv
max
), which affects the inter-gyre communication by altering the paths of geostrophic contours, (2) the ratio of a mass input
rate into the lower layer to that in total (Q
2/Q), which controls the vertical structure of the inter-gyre flow, and (3) the measure of the wind forcing effect relative to
the β effect, which determines the horizontal extent of the area influenced by the mass input. The other parameter regimes with
respect to Q/T
Sv
max
and Q
2/Q are also presented. 相似文献

State Estimation of the North Pacific Ocean by a Four-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation Experiment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A four-dimensional variational data assimilation system has been applied to an experiment to describe the dynamic state of
the North Pacific Ocean. A synthesis of available observational records and a sophisticated ocean general circulation model
produces a dynamically consistent dataset, which, in contrast to the nudging approach, provides realistic features of the
seasonally-varying ocean circulation with no artificial sources/sinks for temperature and salinity fields. This new dataset
enables us to estimate heat and water mass transports in addition to the qualification of water mass formation and movement
processes. A sensitivity experiment on our assimilation system reveals that the origin of the North Pacific Intermediate Water
can be traced back to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea in the subarctic region and to the subtropical Kuroshio region
further south. These results demonstrate that our data assimilation system is a very powerful tool for the identification
and characterization of ocean variabilities and for our understanding of the dynamic state of ocean circulation.

Summary ?In cathodoluminescence (CL) images of synthetic low-quartz samples after He+ implantation at 4 MeV with a dose density over 1.14 × 10−4 C cm−2, bright CL halos of about 14 μm in width from the implantation surface are recognized. These widths are consistent with the
theoretical range. This confirms experimentally that the CL halos in low-quartz found in geological samples are formed by
alpha radiation. It also shows that CL colour continuously changes with dose density, demonstrating that it is possible to
use the CL halo as a new dosimeter that is useful for dating and analysis of radionuclide migration in natural geological
media.

Stable carbon isotopic composition of ethane and propane over the western North Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean between 31°N
and 26°S was investigated from February through March 2004. The isotopic composition of ethane ranged from −28 to −18‰ and
showed a gradual increase from north to south. Conversely, that of propane was between −31 and −24‰; it showed no systematic
latitudinal variation. Investigation of the ethane/propane ratio indicates that ethane and propane that originated from northern
mid-latitude countries in the eastern part of Eurasia were both transported into the western North Pacific region. However,
the results of the isotopic analyses indicate the contribution of oceanic emission to the atmospheric propane during transport,
although that contribution can not be discerned for ethane. A ship based stationary observation conducted in the western equatorial
North Pacific showed that the isotopic composition of ethane varied from −25 to −19‰ and showed clear systematic diurnal variation:
propane ranged between −32 to −26‰ and no such isotopic diurnal signal was observed. The diurnal variation for ethane is explained
by entrainment of free tropospheric air, whereas the variation for propane was influenced by oceanic emissions as well as
the entrainment. The contribution of oceanic emissions to the atmospheric propane inventory was considered from our isotopic
observation. Isotopic composition of dissolved propane is estimated to be less than −38‰, and the contribution up to 79% was
calculated when the isotopic composition of dissolved propane is assumed to be −40‰. Our study demonstrates that isotopic
analysis can be more useful than ratio-based analysis to improve our present understanding of transport processes, especially
for impact of the oceanic emissions on the atmospheric distribution of low level C2–C5 non-methane hydrocarbons such as propane in the remote marine atmosphere. 相似文献

Microbial responses to the addition of oil with or without a chemical dispersant were examined in mesocosm and microcosm experiments by using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of bacterial ribosomal DNA and direct cell counting. When a water-soluble fraction of oil was added to seawater, increases in cell density were observed in the first 24h, followed by a decrease in abundance and a change in bacterial species composition. After addition of an oil-dispersant mixture, increases in cell density and changes in community structure coincided, and the amount of bacteria remained high. These phenomena also occurred in response to addition of only dispersant. Our results suggest that the chemical dispersant may be used as a nutrient source by some bacterial groups and may directly or indirectly prevent the growth of other bacterial groups. 相似文献

Biogeochemistry of nitrous oxide in groundwater in a forested ecosystem elucidated by nitrous oxide isotopomer measurements 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
K. Koba K. Osaka Y. Tobari S. Toyoda N. Ohte M. Katsuyama N. Suzuki M. Itoh H. Yamagishi M. Kawasaki S.J. Kim N. Yoshida T. Nakajima 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2009,73(11):3115-1037
The biological and physical controls on microbial processes that produce and consume N2O in soils are highly complex. Isotopomer ratios of N2O, with abundance of 14N15N16O, 15N14N16O, and 14N14N18O relative to 14N14N16O, are promising for elucidation of N2O biogeochemistry in an intact ecosystem. Site preference, the nitrogen isotope ratio of the central nitrogen atom minus that of the terminal nitrogen atom, is useful to distinguish between N2O via hydroxylamine oxidation and N2O via nitrite reduction.We applied this isotopomer analysis to a groundwater system in a temperate coniferous-forested ecosystem. Results of a previous study at this location showed that the N2O concentration in groundwater varied greatly according to groundwater chemistry, i.e. NO3−, DOC, and DO, although apportionment of N2O production to nitrification or denitrification was ambiguous. Our isotopic analysis (δ15N and δ18O) of NO3− and N2O implies that denitrification is the dominant production process of N2O, but definitive information is not derived from δ15N and δ18O analysis because of large variations in isotopic fractionations during production and consumption of N2O. However, the N2O site preference and the difference in δ15N between NO3− and N2O indicate that nitrification contributes to total N2O production and that most measured N2O has been subjected to further N2O reduction to N2. The implications of N2O biogeochemistry derived from isotope and isotopomer data differ entirely from those derived from conventional concentration data of DO, NO3−, and N2O. That difference underscores the need to reconsider our understanding of the N cycle in the oxic-anoxic interface. 相似文献

A consistency between seasonal fluctuation of actual sea surface height (SSH) and those caused by mass and density variations in gyre-scale regions is examined. The SSH obtained from satellite altimetry (altimetric SSH) is adopted as the actual SSH. SSH caused by mass variation (mass-related SSH) is simulated using a barotropic global ocean model forced by water flux, wind stress and surface pressure. SSH caused by density variation (steric SSH) is calculated from water density profile, i.e. temperature and salinity profiles. The model SSH well represents mass-related SSH for gyre-scale regional means, and seasonal fluctuation of the altimetric SSH corrected for the model SSH is similar to that of steric SSH above a pressure level larger than 300 dbar. The results indicate that the mass-related SSH does not much respond to the baroclinic adjustment to the seasonally varying wind stress curl. The mass-related SSH forced by wind stress and surface pressure should be accounted for regional evaluation, though it is not necessary for global mean evaluation. Detection of steric SSH from altimetric SSH would be useful for assimilation approaches in which the altimetric SSH is treated as the variable reflecting subsurface temperature and salinity. 相似文献

N2O concentration and its isotopomer ratios were measured over a wide area from San Diego to Honolulu in the eastern subtropical North Pacific (ESNP). Waters in the study area had an N2O maximum (38.2–50.5 nmol kg?1) at 600–1000 m depth, which is similar to the profiles obtained previously in other areas in the North Pacific. We separated the seawater into five water masses (two for the surface layer, two for the middle layer, and one for the deep layer) and deduced N2O production–consumption mechanisms in each water body by use of N2O isotopomer ratios. The results showed that the mechanisms differ slightly among water masses. In the “coastal” surface layer, N2O is produced by nitrification (NH2OH oxidation). In the “open ocean” surface layer, it is produced mainly by nitrifier denitrification and to a lesser extent by nitrification under substrate-limited conditions. In both “upwelling” and “open ocean” middle layers it is produced mainly by denitrification and to a lesser extent by nitrifier denitrification. It is also partly reduced. In the deep layer, it is produced predominantly by denitrification with partial reduction. In this way, isotopomers aid elucidation of production–consumption mechanisms of N2O in the sea even though the mechanisms cannot always be ascertained. 相似文献

A numerical study using a 3-D nonhydrostatic model has been applied to baroclinic processes generated by the K
1 tidal flow in and around the Kuril Straits. The result shows that large-amplitude unsteady lee waves are generated and cause
intense diapycnal mixing all along the Kuril Island Chain to levels of a maximum diapycnal diffusivity exceeding 103 cm2s−1. Significant water transformation by the vigorous mixing in shallow regions produces the distinct density and potential vorticity
(PV) fronts along the Island Chain. The pinched-off eddies that arise and move away from the fronts have the ability to transport
a large amount of mixed water (∼14 Sv) to the offshore regions, roughly half being directed to the North Pacific. These features
are consistent with recent satellite imagery and in-situ observations, suggesting that diapycnal mixing within the vicinity
of the Kuril Islands has a greater impact than was previously supposed on the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific. To examine
this influence of tidal processes at the Kurils on circulations in the neighboring two basins, another numerical experiment
was conducted using an ocean general circulation model with inclusion of tidal mixing along the islands, which gives a better
representation of the Okhotsk Sea Mode Water than in the case without the tidal mixing. This is mainly attributed to the added
effect of a significant upward salt flux into the surface layer due to tidal mixing in the Kuril Straits, which is subsequently
transported to the interior region of the Okhotsk Sea. With a saline flux into the surface layer, cooling in winter in the
northern part of the Okhotsk Sea can produce heavier water and thus enhance subduction, which is capable of reproducing a
realistic Okhotsk Sea Mode Water. The associated low PV flux from the Kuril Straits to the open North Pacific excites the
2nd baroclinic-mode Kelvin and Rossby waves in addition to the 1st mode. Interestingly, the meridional overturning in the
North Pacific is strengthened as a result of the dynamical adjustment caused by these waves, leading to a more realistic reproduction
of the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) than in the case without tidal mixing. Accordingly, the joint effect of tidally-induced
transport and transformation dominating in the Kuril Straits and subsequent eddy-transport is considered to play an important
role in the ventilation of both the Okhotsk Sea and the North Pacific Ocean.
