Der Pyroxentuff vom Heilsberg im Hegau

Zusammenfassung Das Tuffvorkommen vom Heilsberg bei Gottmadingen im Hegau wurde neu kartiert und mineralogisch untersucht. Die Korngrößenverteilung zeigt ein deutliches Maximum bei 0,6–1,2 mm. Der Tuff besteht aus 40% magmatogenem Material und 60% Bestandteilen des durchschlagenen Untergrundes. Die magmatogenen Komponenten sind 17% Einzehnineralien, 10% Grundmasse und 13 % Auswürflinge. Unter den Einzelmineralien wiegt der Pyroxen (Fassait) vor, daneben kommen Amphibol, Biotit und Magnetit, ferner Apatit und Analcim sowie einige seltenere Mineralien vor. Für Pyroxen, Amphibol, Biotit und Magnetit werden chemische Analyse und optische Eigenschaften mitgeteilt. Die größte Menge der magmatogenen Auswürflinge sind kugelförmige Lapilli, die hinsichtlich ihrer Entstehung genauer untersucht und chemisch analysiert wurden. Seltener sind grobkristalline, dunkle und belle Bomben, deren Mineralgehalt und chemische Zusammonsetzung genauer beschrieben werden. Sic stellen wahrscheinlich Differentiate des Heilsbergmagmas dar. Die ehemals glasige, magmatogene Grundmasse des Tuffs liegt heute als ein Gemenge von Montmorillonit und Calcit vor.Aus den nichtmagmatogenen Bestandteilen kann auf den Untergrund im Bereich des Heilsbergvulkans geschlossen werden. Aus dem Deckgebirge wurden Tertiär, Mahn, Dogger, Jura, Keuper und Muschelkalk nachgewiesen. Das Grund-gebirge besteht hauptsächlich aus granodioritischen bis granitischen Gesteinen und enthält auffallenderweise nur wenig Gneise. Der Herd der Eruption dürfte mindestens 4000 m tief liegen.Der Chemismus des Heilsbergmagmas ist hornblenditisch. Es ist dem Magma der Melilithite verwandt und leitet zu den Phonolithen des Hegau über. Das Gestein ist als hornblenditischer Pyroxen-Analcim-Tuff zu bezeichnen.Zwei unabhängige Bestimmungen nach der K-Ar-Methode ergaben für den Biotit des Tuffs ein obermiozänes Alter von 14,0 bzw. 14,5 Mill. Jahren.Mit 2 Textabbildungen

Identification of chlorite and chlorite-related minerals in sediments

A scheme is presented for the identification and classification of chlorite and related minerals in sediments which is mainly based on X-ray characteristics of the orginal sample and the sample heated at 350°C and treated with K⁺ and with glycerol. Examples are given. It is emphasized that additional data about clay mineral genesis, electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and chemical analyses are needed for the ordening of a certain mineral in the proposed scheme. Many names of minerals so far found to occur in the clay separate of sediments proved to be synonymous (52 of a total of 88) and thus should be abandoned. They only give confusion and needlessly increase the many difficulties which already exist in the identification, classification and quantitative determination of this complicated group of minerals of about 36 well defined specimens which may be found in sediments.     

Ermittlung der QNH-werte aus dem luftdruckfeld der synoptischen bodenkarte

Резюме Дабление воздуха, переснитанное иа уровень моря по стандартной атмосфере в Q-коде обозчачается через QNH. Давление воздуха пересчитанное на уровень моря по высотной барометрической формуле обознаеается через QFF. Для целей авиационной службы погоды должны быть известны значения QNH, однако Зе барическое поле на синоптических картах выражается через QFF. С помощью рис. 1 для соответствующей температуры воздуха на станцин и ее высоты н. у. м. можно определить разность значений QFF—QNH при давленин QFF=1000мб. Далее по табл. 2 можно определить поправку для каждого значения QFF отличного от значения QFF при ином давлении, чем 1000мб путем умножения табулированного значения ва разность QFF—1000мб и его алгебраического сложения со значением, полученным по рис. 1.      

Measurements of radio noise at 0.700 mc and 2.200 mc from a high-altitude rocket probe

Radio noise observations at frequencies of 0·700 Mc and 2·200 Mc were made at altitudes between 3000 and 11,000 km from a Blue Scout Jr. high-altitude rocket probe on 30 July 1963. A steady background flux of (7·5₋₃⁺⁶) × 10⁻¹⁹ W m⁻²)(c/s)⁻¹ at 0·700 Mc and (1·8^+1.0_−0.5 × 10⁻¹⁹ W m⁻² (c/s)⁻¹ at 2·200 Mc was observed. Assuming a galactic origin of the observed fluxes at both frequencies, the averaged sky brightnesses are b(0·700 Mc) = (6₋₃⁺⁵) × 10⁻²⁰ W m⁻² (c/s)⁻¹ sr⁻¹b(2·200 Mc) = (1.4^+1.0_−0.5 × 10⁻²⁰ W m⁻² (c/s)⁻¹ sr⁻¹ The observed brightness at 2·200 Mc is in reasonable agreement with the results of other observers. The apparent brightness at 0·700 Mc is, however, greater than was expected from previous observations. An alternative source of the 0·700 Mc flux in the terrestrial exosphere, as well as characteristics of several noise bursts observed during the flight, is briefly discussed.     

Models of the Southern Oscillation in the 300–100 mb layer and the basis of seasonal forecasting

Summary The geometry of the principal Upper High (near the Indian Occean) in the 300–100 mb layer appears to account for the Southern Oscillation (S.O.), and models of its behaviour are presented. Significant features of these models include the equatorial points of upper convergence (C) and divergence (D), a pressure discontinuity (CNDS) forming «arcs» and an «enclosure» around the high, and, lastly, encircling «crescents» both outside and inside the enclosure. The geography of the seasonal sucession can thus—in a qualitative manner—be interpreted in the light of known wind and contour patterns near the tropopause. With a few general principles, the established empirical rules of long-range forecasting then follow by deduction. The models and the terminology are useful likewise in the interpretation of solar-terrestrial relations and of climatic fluctuations.     

On the application of turbulence theory to the determination of marine evaporation

Summary Simultaneous measurements of wind, air temperature, and humidity profiles as well as of evaporation, presented byTakahashi (1958), were compared with relevant formulae suggested by turbulence theory. Satisfactory agreement could be achieved if, near the sea surface, the influence of molecular diffusion and, at higher levels, the effect of thermal stratification on the profiles were taken into account in addition to a suitable reduction of the value of evaporation obtained by means of a floating pan.The chief results of this report have been presented on 27th April 1962 to the Tenth Yearly Meeting of theSocietà Italiana di Geofisica e Meteorologia (Genova: 26–28 April 1962).     

Correlation of atmospheric occurences over the United States with some physical and chemical parameters. Part III: Frequencies of precipitation

Summary Correlation between some physical and chemical variables, measured at 28 stations of the United States Weather Bureau Network, and seasonal and annual frequencies of precipitation, has been attempted with the aim of gaining insight into the bearing of such variables, on occurrence of precipitation. — Concurrent trends of frequencies with local temperature functions, altitude parameters, precipitable water vapour increments, and some chemical species have been found.Contribution of the «Centro Nucleazione Aerosoli» of the National Research Council of Italy, Via Vettore 4 (Monte Sacro),Roma.
