Among several salt lakes in the Thar Desert of western India, the Sambhar is the largest lake producing about 2 × 105 tons of salt (NaCl) annually. The “lake system” (lake waters, inflowing river waters, and sub-surface brines) provides a
unique setting to study the geo-chemical behavior of uranium isotopes (238U, 234U) in conjunction with the evolution of brines over the annual wetting and evaporation cycles. The concentration of 238U and the total dissolved solids (TDS) in lake water increase from ~8 μg L−1 and ~8 g L−1 in monsoon to ~1,400 μg L−1 and 370 g L−1, respectively, during summer time. The U/TDS ratio (~1 μg g−1 salt) and the 234U/238U activity ratio (1.65 ± 0.05), however, remain almost unchanged throughout the year, except when U/TDS ratio approaches to
3.8 at/or beyond halite crystallization. These observations suggest that uranium behaves conservatively in the lake waters
during the annual cycle of evaporation. Also, uranium and salt content (TDS) are intimately coupled, which has been used to
infer the origin and source of salt in the lake basin. Furthermore, near uniform ratios in evaporating lake waters, when compared
to the ratio in seawater (~0.1 μg g−1 salt and 1.14 ± 0.02, respectively), imply that aeolian transport of marine salts is unlikely to be significant source of
salt to the lake in the present-day hydrologic conditions. This inference is further consistent with the chemical composition
of wet-precipitation occurring in and around the Sambhar lake. The seasonal streams feeding the lake and groundwaters (within
the lake’s periphery) have distinctly different ratios of U/TDS (2–69 μg g−1 salt) and 234U/238U (1.15–2.26) compared to those in the lake. The average U/TDS ratio of ~1 μg g−1 salt in lake waters and ~19 μg g−1 salt in river waters suggest dilution of the uranium content by the recycled salt and/or removal processes presently operating
in the lake during the extraction of salt for commercial use. Based on mass-balance calculations, a conservative estimate
of "uranium sink" (in the form of bittern crust) accounts for ~5 tons year−1 from the lake basin, an estimate similar to its input flux from rivers, i.e., 4.4 tons year−1. 相似文献

Abstract— A stony meteorite fell at Itawa Bhopji, Rajasthan, India on 2000 May 30. This is the fifth recorded fall in a small area of Rajasthan during the past decade. The meteorite is an ordinary chondrite with light clasts in a dark matrix, consisting of a mixture of equilibrated (mainly type 5) and unequilibrated components. Olivine is Fa24–26 and pyroxene Fs20–22 but, within the unequilibrated components, olivine (Fa5–29) and low calcium pyroxene (Fs5–37) are highly variable. Based on petrographic studies and chemical analyses, it is classified as L(3–5) regolith breccia. Studies of various cosmogenic records, including several gamma‐emitting radionuclides varying in half‐life from 5.6 day 52Mn to 0.73 Ma 26Al, tracks and rare gases have been carried out. The exposure age of the meteorite is estimated from cosmogenic components of rare gases to be 19.6 Ma. The track density varies by a factor of ?3 (from 4 to 12 times 106/cm2) within the meteorite, indicating a preatmospheric body of ?9 cm radius (corresponding to a meteoroid mass of ?11 kg) and small ablation (1.5 to 3.6 cm). Trapped components in various rare gases are high and the solar component is present in the dark portion of the meteorite. Large excess of neutron‐produced 82Kr and 128Xe in both the light and the dark lithology but very low 60Co, indicating low neutron fluxes received by the meteoroid in the interplanetary space, are clear signatures of an additional irradiation on the parent body. 相似文献

Chemical weathering in the Krishna Basin and Western Ghats of the Deccan Traps, India: Rates of basalt weathering and their controls 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Rates of chemical and silicate weathering of the Deccan Trap basalts, India, have been determined through major ion measurements in the headwaters of the Krishna and the Bhima rivers, their tributaries, and the west flowing streams of the Western Ghats, all of which flow almost entirely through the Deccan basalts.Samples (n = 63) for this study were collected from 23 rivers during two consecutive monsoon seasons of 2001 and 2002. The Total dissolved solid (TDS) in the samples range from 27 to 640 mg l−1. The rivers draining the Western Ghats that flow through patches of cation deficient lateritic soils have lower TDS (average: 74 mg l−1), whereas the Bhima (except at origin) and its tributaries that seem to receive Na, Cl, and SO4 from saline soils and anthropogenic inputs have values in excess of 170 mg l−1. Many of the rivers sampled are supersaturated with respect to calcite. The chemical weathering rates (CWR) of “selected” basins, which exclude rivers supersaturated in calcite and which have high Cl and SO4, are in range of ∼3 to ∼60 t km−2 y−1. This yields an area-weighted average CWR of ∼16 t km−2 y−1 for the Deccan Traps. This is a factor of ∼2 lower than that reported for the Narmada-Tapti-Wainganga (NTW) systems draining the more northern regions of the Deccan. The difference can be because of (i) natural variations in CWR among the different basins of the Deccan, (ii) “selection” of river basin for CWR calculation in this study, and (iii) possible contribution of major ions from sources, in addition to basalts, to rivers of the northern Deccan Traps.Silicate weathering rates (SWR) in the selected basins calculated using dissolved Mg as an index varies between ∼3 to ∼60 t km−2 y−1, nearly identical to their CWR. The Ca/Mg and Na/Mg in these rivers, after correcting for rain input, are quite similar to those in average basalts of the region, suggesting near congruent release of Ca, Mg, and Na from basalts to rivers. Comparison of calculated and measured silicate-Ca in these rivers indicates that at most ∼30% of Ca can be of nonsilicate origin, a likely source being carbonates in basalts and sediments.The chemical and silicate weathering rates of the west flowing rivers of the Deccan are ∼4 times higher than the east flowing rivers. This difference is due to the correspondingly higher rainfall and runoff in the western region and thus reemphasises the dominant role of runoff in regulating weathering rates. The silicon weathering rate (SWR) in the Krishna Basin is ∼15 t km−2 y−1, within a factor of ∼2 to those in the Yamuna, Bhagirathi, and Alaknanda basins of the Himalaya, suggesting that under favourable conditions (intense physical weathering, high runoff) granites and the other silicates in the Himalaya weather at rates similar to those of Deccan basalts. The CO2 consumption rate for the Deccan is deduced to be ∼3.6 × 105 moles km−2 y−1 based on the SWR. The rate, though, is two to three times lower than reported for the NTW rivers system; it still reinforces the earlier findings that, in general, basalts weather more rapidly than other silicates and that they significantly influence the atmospheric CO2 budget on long-term scales. 相似文献

Vertical and temporal variations in the activities of234Th,210Po and210Pb have been measured, in both dissolved and paniculate phases, at several stations in the eastern Arabian Sea and north-central
Bay of Bengal. A comparative study allows us to make inferences about the particle associated scavenging processes in these
two seas having distinct biogeochemical properties.
A common feature of the234Th profiles, in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, is that the dissolved as well as total (dissolved + particulate) activity
of234Th is deficient in the surface 200 m with respect to its parent,238U. This gross deficiency is attributed to the preferential removal of234Th by adsorption onto settling particles which account for its net loss from the surface waters. The scavenging rates of dissolved234Th are comparable in these two basins. The temporal variations in the234Th-238U disequilibrium are significantly pronounced both in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal indicating that the scavenging rates
are more influenced by the increased abundance of particles rather than their chemical make-up. In the mixed layer (0–50 m),
the scavenging residence time of234Th ranges from 30 to 100 days.
The surface and deep waters of both the seas show an enhanced deficiency of dissolved210Po relative to210Pb and that of210Pb relative to226Ra. The deficiencies of both210Po and210Pb in the dissolved phases are not balanced by their abundance in the particulate form indicating a net loss of both these
nuclides from the water column. The scavenging rates of210Po and210Pb are significantly enhanced in the Bay of Bengal compared to those in the Arabian Sea. The mean dissolved210Po/210Pb and210Pb/226Ra activity ratios in deep waters of the Bay of Bengal are ∼ 0.7 and 0.1, respectively, representing some of the most pronounced
disequilibria observed to date in the deep sea. The Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea appear to be the regions of most intense
particle moderated scavenging processes in the world oceans. This is evidenced by the gross disequilibria exhibited by the
three isotope pairs used in this study. 相似文献

Recent sedimentary records from the Arabian Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
An attempt is made to understand the redox conditions that prevailed in the north eastern continental margins of the Arabian
Sea and in the nearby deep water regions during the past few centuries using short undisturbed sediment cores. The geochronology
is accomplished using210Pb excess method and the proxy indicators chosen for productivity and associated redox changes are CaCO3, organic matter (OM), Mn and U along with major elements Fe and Al. Such changes in principle are related to high productivity
in the overlying waters which in turn depend on monsoonal intensity that causes upwelling responsible for increase in productivity.
Alongwith the published data on gravity cores from the same region, our measurements suggest the following:
At ∼ 300 m water depth, south of 21°N, the sediment-water interface at depths of ∼ 300 m had been anoxic during the time span
represented by the presently studied cores for approximately ∼ 700y as evidenced by low Mn/Al (< 0.7 × 10−2) and high U/Al (> 10−4) weight ratios. In some adjacent deeper regions, however, the environment turned oxic around ∼ 200 y BP. Whereas both Mn
and Ra were lost to the overlying waters in the anoxic regions (depth ∼340m), the Mn that diffused from deeper sections appears
to have mineralized at the sediment-water-interface. Studies of this type on long undisturbed cores from the margins of the
Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, involving several proxies and geochronology by more than one method are needed to understand
short term environmental (and monsoonal intensity) changes of the recent past with high resolution. 相似文献

河套气旋发展东移与北京721暴雨的关系 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2
对河套气旋发展东移引发的北京2012年7月21日特大暴雨天气过程(简称“北京721暴雨”)进行了诊断分析。结果表明：河套气旋是北京721暴雨的直接影响系统,高空辐散区的强迫作用和对流层低层锋区走向“引导”河套气旋改变了北上的常规路径,迫使其东移直接影响河北、北京地区。河套气旋在沿着锋区东移过程中,由暖心正压气旋转变为斜压性气旋,同时,将锋区的势能转变为动能使河套气旋迅速发展,形成正反馈效应,使得本次暴雨天气过程降水强度自西向东不断增强。河套气旋在北京特大暴雨中的作用表现为：动力抬升、增强水汽输送、触发不稳定能量等三方面。午后,河套气旋暖锋触发不稳定能量释放,在北京地区产生强对流系统,形成中尺度对流辐合体（MCC）,使得降水强度成倍增长,是北京地区产生特大暴雨的主要原因,东南气流中地形抬升作用对降水有增幅作用,北京721暴雨是多种有利因素叠加所致。 相似文献

Our long-term study provides an unequivocal evidence for near-quantitative (80–100%) depletion of chloride from sea-salts in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) of tropical Bay of Bengal. During the late NE-monsoon (Jan-Mar), continental outflow from south and south-east Asia dominate the wide-spread dispersal of pollutants over the Bay of Bengal. Among anthropogenic constituents, SO 4 2? (range: 0.6–35 μg m?3) is the most dominant. The non-sea-salt SO 4 2? (nss-SO 4 2? ) constitutes a major fraction (55–65%) of the aerosol water-soluble ionic composition (WSIC), whereas contribution of NO 3 ? is relatively minor. The magnitude of Cl-deficit (with respect to its sea-salt proportion) exhibits linear increase with the excess-nss-SO 4 2? (excess over NH 4 + ). We propose that displacement of HCl from sea-salt aerosols by H2SO4 is a dominant reaction mechanism for the chloride-depletion. These results also suggest that sea-salts could serve as a potential sink for anthropogenic SO2 in the downwind polluted marine environment. Furthermore, loss of hydrogen chloride, representing a large source of reactive chlorine, has implications to the oxidant chemistry in the MABL (oxidation of hydrocarbons and dimethyl sulphide). 相似文献
