A profiling float equipped with a fluorimeter, a dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor, and temperature and salinity sensors was deployed
in the subtropical mode water (STMW) formation region of the North Pacific. It acquired quasi-Lagrangian, 5-day-interval time-series
records from March to July 2006. The time-series distribution of chlorophyll showed a sustained and sizable subsurface maximum
at 50–100 m, just above the upper boundary of the STMW, throughout early summer (May–July). The DO concentration in this lower
euphotic zone (50–100 m) was almost constant and supersaturated in the same period, becoming more supersaturated with time.
On the other hand, the DO concentration at 100–150 m near the upper boundary of the STMW decreased much more slowly compared
with the main layer of STMW below 150 m, even though oxygen consumption by organisms was expected to be larger in the former
depth range. The small temporal variations of DO in the lower euphotic zone and near the upper boundary of the STMW were reasonably
explained by downward oxygen transport because of large diapycnal diffusion near the top of the STMW. Assuming that the oxygen
consumption rate at 100–150 m was the same as that in the main layer of STMW and compensated by the downward oxygen flux,
the diapycnal diffusivity was estimated to be 1.7 × 10−4 m2 s−1. Nitrate transport into the euphotic zone by the same large diffusion was estimated to be 0.8 mmol N m−2 day−1. All of the transported nitrate could have been used for photosynthesis by the phytoplankton; net community production was
estimated to be 5.3 mmol C m−2 day−1. 相似文献

This study describes the three-dimensional distributions of the Turner angle (Tu) and the potential vorticity (PV) of the
main pycnocline water in the subtropical North Pacific (10–50°N, 120°E–120°W) using a large in situ CTD data set taken by
the Argo profiling floats during June to October of 2001–2009 to clarify the detailed distribution of the central water and
the mode waters as well as the relationship between these water masses. The ventilated part of the main pycnocline water (σ
θ < 26.7 kg m−3) in the subtropical gyre generally displays a sharp peak in Tu value of 59° in the histogram. The Tu histograms for 10° × 10°
geographical boxes mostly show that the mode for the Tu value is 59° too, but they also show some regional differences, suggesting
some types of relations with the North Pacific mode waters. To further investigate this relationship, the appearance probability
density function of the central water (defined as the main pycnocline water with Tu = 56°–63°) and those of the mode waters
with PVs lower than the critical value on each isopycnal surface were analyzed. The distribution area of the central mode
water (CMW) corresponds so well with that of the central water that a direct contribution of the CMW to the formation and
maintenance of the central water is suggested. On the other hand, the distribution areas of subtropical mode water (STMW),
Eastern STMW, and transition region mode water do not correspond to that of the central water. Nevertheless, indirect contributions
of these mode waters to the formation and maintenance of the central water through salt finger type convection or diapycnal
mixing are suggested. 相似文献

Structural, morphological, magnetic, and thermal properties have been investigated for a novel post-perovskite oxide CaPtO3 synthesized under high pressure. By comparing obtained structural parameters with those for known post-perovskite compounds,
we argue that the chemical bond has a strong covalent character. Precise measurements of the Langevin susceptibility χ

= −9.6 × 10−5 emu/mol and Debye temperature θ ∼ 470 K provide a good opportunity to confirm the reliability of first-principle calculations on predicting physical properties
of the Earth’s D” layer. 相似文献

The electrical conductivities of natural pyrolitic mantle and MORB materials were measured at high pressure and temperature covering the entire lower mantle conditions up to 133 GPa and 2650 K. In contrast to the previous laboratory-based models, our data demonstrate that the conductivity of pyrolite does not increase monotonically but varies dramatically with depth in the lower mantle; it drops due to high-spin to low-spin transition of iron in both perovskite and ferropericlase in the mid-lower mantle and increases sharply across the perovskite to post-perovskite phase transition at the D″ layer. We also found that the MORB exhibits much higher conductivity than pyrolite. The depth–conductivity profile measured for pyrolite does not match the geomagnetic field data below about 1500-km depth, possibly suggesting the existence of large quantities of subducted MORB crust in the deep lower mantle. The observations of geomagnetic jerks suggest that the electrical conductivity may be laterally heterogeneous in the lowermost mantle with high anomaly underneath Africa and the Pacific, the same regions as large low shear-wave velocity provinces. Such conductivity and shear-wave speed anomalies are also possibly caused by the deep subduction and accumulation of dense MORB crust above the core–mantle boundary. 相似文献

The 2014 Iyonada Earthquake, which occurred at 02:06 JST on 14 March, measured 6.2 on the Richter scale and originated in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. To elucidate tsunami evacuation behavior, we examined two coastal communities in Kochi Prefecture, Okitsu and Mangyo, where residents evacuated to high ground in anticipation of a tsunami. In the event of a Nankai megathrust earthquake and tsunami, it is expected that a huge tsunami will be generated and these communities will be severely damaged. Before the Iyonada Earthquake, we had previously collected data about tsunami preparedness and evacuation plans from the residents of these communities, and after the earthquake, we conducted in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys with the residents regarding the actual evacuation behaviors that they took. This enabled us to compare evacuation plans with evacuation behaviors. Results indicate that many residents responded quickly to the earthquake, either by immediately evacuating to emergency shelters on high ground or by preparing themselves for evacuation. Additionally, the earthquake revealed great differences between the prior evacuation plans and the actual situation of residents’ evacuation, such as specific triggers that significantly led residents to evacuate and the use of vehicles in evacuation. 相似文献
