A large multi-institutional nearshore field experiment was conducted at Truc Vert, on the Atlantic coast of France in early 2008. Truc Vert’08 was designed to measure beach change on a long, sandy stretch of coast without engineering works with emphasis on large winter waves (offshore significant wave height up to 8 m), a three-dimensional morphology, and macro-tidal conditions. Nearshore wave transformation, circulation and bathymetric changes involve coupled processes at many spatial and temporal scales thus implying the need to improve our knowledge for the full spectrum of scales to achieve a comprehensive view of the natural system. This experiment is unique when compared with existing experiments because of the simultaneous investigation of processes at different scales, both spatially (from ripples to sand banks) and temporally (from single swash events to several spring-neap tidal cycles, including a major storm event). The purpose of this paper is to provide background information on the experiment by providing detailed presentation of the instrument layout and snapshots of preliminary results.  相似文献   

Oxidation and emission of methane in a monomictic lake (Rotsee, Switzerland)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The build-up of methane in the hypolimnion of the eutrophic Lake Rotsee (Lucerne, Switzerland) was monitored over a full year. Sources and sinks of methane in the water column were characterized by measuring concentrations and carbon isotopic composition. In fall, high methane concentrations (up to 1 mM) were measured in the anoxic water layer. In the oxic layer, methane concentrations were much lower and the isotopic composition shifted towards heavy carbon isotopes. Methane oxidation rates peaked at the interface between oxic and anoxic water layers at around 8–10 m depth. The electron balance between the oxidants oxygen, sulphate, and nitrate, and the reductants methane, sulphide and ammonium, matched very well in the chemocline during the stratified season. The profile of carbon isotopic composition of methane showed strong indications for methane oxidation at the chemocline (including the oxycline). Aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria were detected at the interface using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Sequencing the responsible organisms from DGGE bands revealed that aerobic methanotrophs type I closely related to Methylomonas were present. Sulphate consumption occurred at the sediment surface and, only towards the end of the stagnation period, matched with a zone of methane consumption. In any case, the flux of sulphate below the chemocline was not sufficient to oxidize all the methane and other oxidants like nitrate, iron or manganese are necessary for the observed methane oxidation. Although most of the methane was oxidized either aerobically or anaerobically, Lake Rotsee was still a source of methane to the atmosphere with emission rates between 0.2 mg CH₄ m^?2 day^?1 in February and 7 mg CH₄ m^?2 day^?1 in November.  相似文献   

The youngest big impact on Earth deduced from geological and historical evidence     

Edith Kristan-Tollmann  Alexander Tollmann 《地学学报》1994,6(2):209-217

The comparison of events that followed the great impact at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary with those contained within the Flood myths suggests an analogous cosmic cause. This paper proposes that there is geological evidence to support this thesis which is also indicated by a careful analysis of the natural phenomena described in Flood traditions. The time, the sites, the cause, the detailed course of the events and the consequences of this catastrophe can hope to be reconstructed.  相似文献   

The potassium abundance in the solar photosphere     

Ramiro De La Reza  Edith A. Müller 《Solar physics》1975,43(1):15-32

High precision center-limb spectrograms of the K i resonance doublet line at λ 7699 Å were used to study the line formation and to determine the abundance of potassium in the solar atmosphere. The LTE assumption is not valid for these lines. Synthetic profiles computed in NLTE reproduce very well the observed center-limb line behaviour and yield log? _K = 5.14±0.10 for the solar abundance of potassium (on the scale of log? _H = 12 for Hydrogen).  相似文献   

Assessing the Comparability of Ammonium,Nitrate and Sulfate Concentrations Measured by Three Air Quality Monitoring Networks     

Edith L Gego  P. Steven Porter  John S. Irwin  Christian Hogrefe  S. Trivikrama Rao 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2005,162(10):1919-1939

Airborne fine particulate matter across the United States is monitored by different networks, the three prevalent ones presently being the Clean Air Status and Trend Network (CASTNet), the Interagency Monitoring of PROtected Visual Environment Network (IMPROVE) and the Speciation and Trend Network (STN). If combined, these three networks provide speciated fine particulate data at several hundred locations throughout the United States. Yet, differences in sampling protocols and samples handling may not allow their joint use. With these concerns in mind, the objective of this study is to assess the spatial and temporal comparability of the sulfate, nitrate and ammonium concentrations reported by each of these networks. One of the major differences between networks is the sampling frequency they adopted. While CASTNet measures pollution levels on seven-day integrated samples, STN and IMPROVE data pertain to 24-hour samples collected every three days. STN and IMPROVE data therefore exhibit considerably more short-term variability than their CASTNet counterpart. We show that, despite their apparent incongruity, averaging the data with a window size of four to six weeks is sufficient to remove the effects of differences in sampling frequency and duration and allow meaningful comparison of the signals reported by the three networks of concern. After averaging, all the sulfate and, to a lesser degree, ammonium concentrations reported are fairly similar. Nitrate concentrations, on the other hand, are still divergent. We speculate that this divergence originates from the different types of filters used to collect particulate nitrate. Finally, using a rotated principal component technique (RPCA), we determined the number and the geographical organization of the significant temporal modes of variation (clusters) detected by each network for the three pollutants of interest. For sulfate and ammonium, the clusters’ geographical boundaries established for each network and the modes of variations within each cluster seem to correspond. RPCA erformed on nitrate concentrations revealed that, for the CASTNet and IMPROVE networks, the modes of variation do not correspond to unified geographical regions but are found more sporadically. For STN, the clustered areas are unified and easily delineable. We conclude that the possibility of jointly using the data collected by CASTNet, IMPROVE and STN has to be weighed pollutant by pollutant. While sulfate and ammonium data show some potential for joint use, at this point, combining the nitrate data from these monitoring networks may not be a judicious choice.  相似文献

International liability for weather modification     

Edith Brown Weiss 《Climatic change》1978,1(3):267-290

Can a State be held liable to another State or to citizens of another State for damage caused by (a) the State's own weather modification activities; (b) weather modification activities conducted by a nongovernmental party within its borders, or (c) weather modification activities conducted by persons within its control but outside its borders? What measures can be taken by a State to minimize its liability for weather modification activities? This article tries to answer these questions. It focuses on liability under international law, and emphasizes issues related to cloud-seeding to affect precipitation and to hurricane modification.  相似文献

Die Entwicklung der Tethystrias und Herkunft ihrer Fauna     

Doz. Dr. Edith Kristan-Tollmann  Prof. Dr. Alexander Tollmann 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1982,71(3):987-1019

Zusammenfassung Es wird zunächst ein kurzer Überblick über die stratigraphische und fazielle Entwicklung der Trias im Gesamtraum der Tethys zwischen Betischer Kordillere in Spanien und Timor gegeben. Hierbei zeigt sich, daß im Westabschnitt, besonders im mediterranen Raum, eine mio- und aristogeosynklinale und nur untergeordnet eugeosynklinale Entwicklung der Trias vorliegt, in Ostasien (Himalaya, China) auch eugeosynklinal entwickelte Trias vermehrt auftritt. Die europäische Entwicklung der Tethystrias ist durch ihre vielfältige Individualisierung von der asiatischen Trias, die in ihrem Oberteil weiträumig durch eine detritische Fazies beherrscht ist, unterschieden, was besonders auf den Einfluß der indosinischen Faltung in Ostasien zurückgeht. Nord- und Südast der Tethys aber deshalb und auf Grund eines verschiedenartigen Erbes als Paläo- und Neotethys zu bezeichnen, geht zu weit, da die Einheit der gesamten Tethys hierdurch begrifflich zerrissen werden würde.Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Tatsache, daß zahlreiche typische Triasschichtglieder in verschiedenen Abschnitten des Gesamtraumes der Tethys auftreten, nach Litho- und Biofazies und Altersstellung eindeutig als gleichartig identifiziert werden können und demnach im gesamten Raum mit gleichen Namen belegt werden sollen. Das gilt besonders für Reichenhaller Rauhwacke, Gutensteiner Kalk, Reiflinger Kalk, Wettersteinkalk, Hallstätter Kalk, Dachsteinkalk, Kössener Schichten, Rhätoliaskalk — um nur einige Glieder zu nennen, die vom gesamten Raum vom mediterranen Gebiet bis über China hinaus, und zwar z. T. bis Timor — und im Falle des Hallstätter Kalkes bis Südamerika -, verfolgt werden können. Die Ursache liegt im gleichen Schicksal der Kontinentrandgebiete, teils durch Eustatik, teils durch die Mobilität des Schelfs, teils durch die gleichartigen Gesteinsbildner in Fauna und Flora bewirkt.Die Gemeinsamkeit von entscheidenden Faunenelementen über den gesamten Raum der Tethys hin ist ein nächstes, besonders ins Auge stechendes Merkmal. Sie bezieht sich nicht nur auf planktonische und pelagische Elemente, sondern auch auf vagil-benthonische, ja sessile Organismen und umfaßt überraschend viele Arten der Makro- und Mikrofauna, darunter viele Leitfossilien. Zahlreiche Formen sind bisher unter verschiedenen Lokalnamen beschrieben worden, deren Nachuntersuchung nun die Gleichartigkeit über den gesamten Raum der Tethys bestätigt hat. Natürlich bezieht sich diese Feststellung nur auf einen Teil der Fauna, daneben erscheinen auch an Faunenprovinzen gebundene Elemente.Schließlich werden Überlegungen über die Herkunft der Tethysfauna angestellt. Als Heimat eines wesentlichen überregional verbreiteten Anteils wird der ostpazifische Raum am amerikanischen Kontinentalrand, besonders der Raum von Britisch-Kolumbien abgeleitet. Als Gründe sprechen dafür: 1. Reichliche Beteiligung von Tethyselementen an der Fauna dieser ostpazifischen Provinz, 2. Fehlen eines Meeresweges quer durch (Mittel-) Amerika nach Osten zur Tethys in der Zeit der Trias, 3. Rekonstruktion eines Paläowind- und Meeresströmungssystems auf Grund der Triaspaläogeographie und aktualistischer Prinzipien, das eine Drift von Osten nach Westen durch Pazifik und Tethys bewirkt haben muß, 4. Die Möglichkeit dieser Wanderung von Faunenelementen über den Pazifik auch für vagiles und sessiles Benthos mit Hilfe von Larvenstadien und in pseudoplanktonischer Form auf Tang und Treibholz. Abgesehen von diesem über den gesamten tropischen bis tropennahen Raum von Pazifik und Tethys verbreiteten Anteil kommt naturgemäß noch ein autochthoner Anteil der Fauna hinzu, der sich in den einzelnen Faunenprovinzen jeweils autonom entwickelt hat — besonders begünstigt im asiatischen Teil der Tethys. Schließlich liegt nach der Verbreitung bestimmter Arten und Artgruppen noch die Möglichkeit der Wanderung eurasiatischer Formen in höheren Breiten mit den ostgerichteten Gegenströmungen von Tethys und Pazifik nahe.

The development of the Triassic within the Tethys realm and the origin of its fauna

Summary This paper gives at first a survey about the stratigraphy and facies of the Triassic within the Tethys realm between Betic Cordillera in Spain and Timor in Indonesia. This review shows that the western part of the Tethys in the Mediterranean region comprises a mio-, (eu-)and aristogeosynclinal facies of the Triassic and prooves that the eugeosynclinal facies is more significant for the central- and eastasiatic part of the Tethys realm.The European development is characterized by an extreme individualisation of faciestypes and a hight specification of Triassic formations, whilst the Asiatic region is dominated by an extensive spreading of immense masses of detritus in the Upper Triassic — particularly in the northern branch of Tethys -, in dependence on the Indosinic orogenesis at the end of the Middle Triassic. The distinction of a northern Paleotethys and a southern Neotethys during the Mesozoic era with regard to this event can't be sanctioned, respecting the integrity of the Tethys as a whole.The following chapter stresses the fact that many alpine formations are spreaded whole over the Tethys realm, identic in lithofacies, biofacies, fauna, flora and stratigraphic position, so that one must not hesitate denominating the same formations with the same name (Lugeon/Andrusov-principle). Those formations and members, identical all over the Tethys region, are e. g. Reichenhaller cellular dolomite, Gutenstein Wurstel-limestone, Reifling-, Wetterstein-, Hallstatt- and Dachstein-limestone, which can be observed from the Mediterranean region up to China and Timor — the Hallstatt limestone as fare as Southern America. The reason of this surprisingly fact is caused by the same conditions of the plate margins during the Triassic tectonic history, moreover by the same conditions for the formation of organogeneous limestone by time-specific organismes and in some cases also in eustatic movements of the sea level.The next fact shown in this paper is the result that a lot of characteristic alpin fauna elements are spreaded all over the Tethys area, from the Alps to Indonesia. This statement concerns not only planctonic and pseudoplanctonic taxa, but also many bentonic elements living in a vagil or sessil manner within the macro- and microfauna — comprisingly also many index-fossils. Hitherto a lot of those species have been described under local names. The revision of the fossil material, collected directly by the authors in many sectors of the Tethys has confirmed this result of widespread species whole over the Tethys ocean.Finally some reflections are made about the origin of the Tethys fauna. A part of the Tethys fauna which is common with the fauna of the Eastern Pacific region, is regarded as originally developed in Western America, particularly in the territory of British Columbia, and transported by the Pacific ocean currents westwards into the Tethys. A short connection between Eastern Pacific and Western Tethys by a Protoatlantic (Poseidon) did not existe in consequence of the existence of Pangea during the Triassic time. Therefore the communication of the identic faunistic elements of Eastern Pacific and Tethys must have be realized by transpacific way: New observations about the longevity of larval stages, also of recent benthic organisms and reflections about the Triassic paleocurrent system in the Panthalassa established on actualistic principles (Fig. 2) proove the feasibility of such a theory. By the counter-current in high latitudes the transport of Tethyal elements to eastern areas along the shore of America could be effected.

Résumé Cet article donne premièrement un résumé de la stratigraphie et du faciès du Trias de la région mesogéenne entre la Cordillère Bétique et Timor en Indonésie. Il apparaît ainsi qu'on trouve dans les régions méditerranéennes notamment un faciès mio- et aristogéosynclinal, tandis que le faciès eugéosynclinal est plus fréquent dans la partie centrale et orientale de la Téthys asiatique.La partie européenne de la Téthys est caractérisée par une individualisation extrême des types de faciès et des formations. Au contraire, le faciès de la région asiatique est dominé par des masses détritiques dans le Trias supérieur, comme conséquence de la phase orogénique indosinienne dans l'Asie orientale.Par la suite on démontre que bien des formations alpines sont répandues dans toute la région de la Téthys, identiques en lithofaciès, biofaciès, faunes, flores et dans leur position stratigraphique — en conséquence, il ne faut pas hésiter d'employer les mêmes désignations pour les mêmes formations dans tout le territoire en question. On retrouve par exemple les cargnieules de Reichenhall, les calcaires vermiculés de Gutenstein, les calcaires de Reifling, du Wetterstein, de Hallstatt et du Dachstein etc. à partir de la région méditerranéenne jusqu' en Chine et à Timor; d'autre part, les calcaires de Hallstatt se retrouvent jusqu' en Amérique méridionale. Ce fait étonnant tient à des conditions identiques valables pour les bords des plaques continentales pendant le Triassique, ainsi qu'à une formation identique des calcaires organogènes provoquée par l'existence simultanée des mêmes organismes et aussi par des oscillations eustatiques de l'océan.Un autre résultat que nous aimerions mentionner dans cet article est le fait qu' un nombre assez grand des éléments de la faune alpine est répandu dans tout le territoire de la Téthys. Cette constatation ne concerne pas seulement les éléments (pseudo-)planctoniques, mais aussi beaucoup d'organismes bentoniques (vagiles et sessiles) de la macroet microfaune. Jusqu' à présent, beaucoup de ces espèces sont décrites sous des noms locaux. La révision des suites des fossiles, collectionnées par les auteurs eux-mêmes dans les différents secteurs de la Téthys, a confirmé ce fait.Enfin des réflexions sont faites sur l'origine de la faune téthysienne. Une partie de cette faune de la Téthys, celle qui correspond à la faune de la région pacifique orientale, se serait développée d'abord en Amérique septentrionale, notamment en Colombie britannique, et aurait été transportée par le courant pacifique central vers l'ouest, dans la Téthys. Une communication directe, pendant le Trias, entre le Pacifique et la Téthys occidentale, par un Protoatlantique («Poseidon») n'existait pas du fait que la Pangéa était intacte. La migration des éléments faunistiques dans le Pacifique oriental et dans la Téthys n'était possible que le long de la route transpacifique. Des observations nouvelles sur la longue durée des stades larvales des organismes bentoniques ainsi que des réflexions concernant les paléocourants de la Panthalassa (Fig. 2) prouvent le bien-fondé de cette théorie. Par des contre-courants dans des latitudes supérieures, le transport des éléments faunistiques de la Téthys dans des régions arctiques et antarctiques de l'Amérique était possible.
