To understand the transport process of lithogenic particles in the ocean, we measured the grain size distributions of lithogenic
particles and measured the opal, La, Yb, Th, and Sc concentrations of the settling particles collected from time-series sediment
traps at Sta. KNOT (44°N, 155°E, water depth 5320 m) from June 2002 to May 2004. The annual mean lithogenic particle flux
observed at the lower sediment trap (5100 m) was twice as high as that at the upper sediment trap (770 m). The contribution
of Asian loess estimated by the La/Yb and the Th/Sc ratios in the lower layer was greater than that in the upper layer. The
fluxes of small lithogenic particles with sizes of 3–4 μm at the lower layer (5 to 65 mg/m2/day) were approximately four times larger than that at the upper layer (0.6 to 27 mg/m2/day). These results indicate that the horizontal addition of small particle sizes of Asian loess is a main factor in the
increase of lithogenic particles at the lower layer. The temporal variations in the small lithogenic particle flux at the
lower layer had a positive correlation with those at the upper layer (r = 0.71). The small lithogenic particle fluxes showed
a strong positive correlation with the opal fluxes (r = 0.9). We therefore conclude that the small lithogenic particles were
laterally transported and scavenged by the formation of aggregates with opal. 相似文献

Settling particles play an important role in transporting organic carbon from the surface to the deep ocean. It is known that major components of settling particles are biogenic silicates (opal), biogenic carbonate (CaCO3), lithogenic clays and organic matter. Since each component aggregates and/or takes in organic carbon, all of these components have the ability to transport particulate organic carbon (POC) to the interior of the ocean. In this study, sediment trap experiments were carried out in four areas of the western North Pacific (including a marginal sea). Factors are proposed that correlate the composition of settling particles with POC flux. Annual mean organic carbon fluxes at 1 km depth in the western North Pacific Basin, Japan Sea, Hidaka Basin and northern Japan Trench were found to be 14.9, 18.1, 13.0 and 6.6 mg/m2/day, respectively. Organic carbon flux in the western North Pacific was greater than that in the Eastern North Pacific (7.4), the Equatorial Pacific (4.2), the Southern Ocean (5.8) and the Eastern North Atlantic (1.8). In the western North Pacific, it was calculated that 52% of POC was carried by opal particles. Opal is known to be a major component even in the Eastern North Pacific and the Southern Ocean, and the opal fluxes in these areas are similar to those in the western North Pacific. However, the organic carbon flux that was carried by opal particles (OCopalflux) in the western North Pacific was greater than that in the Eastern North Pacific and the Southern Ocean. These results indicate that the ability of opal particles to transport POC to the deep ocean in the western North Pacific is greater than that in the other areas. 相似文献

We have investigated Pb concentrations and isotopic compositions in settling particles collected by sediment traps experiments
over a period of two years, from May 2005 to April 2007, at two depths, 770 and 5100 m, at station KNOT in the Northwestern
Pacific Ocean (44°N, 155°E). To the identify provenances of Pb, the samples were separated into two fractions by chemical
leaching techniques, with the leachate expected to contain Pb of anthropogenic origin. Isotopic compositions of Pb and concentrations
of Pb, Sc, Mn, La, Yb, and Th were measured by quadrupole ICP-MS. The isotope ratios of leachable Pb in settling particles
were 207Pb/206Pb = 0.860 ± 0.001; 208Pb/206Pb = 2.116 ± 0.002 (mean ± 95% confidence intervals), which are similar to those of aerosols in China that are greatly affected
by pollution from coal combustion. We estimated the mean contribution from anthropogenic Pb sources to the Pb in settling
particles, using the conventional binary (anthropogenic and natural Pb) mixing equation for Pb isotopes, as 90% in the upper
trap and 78% in the lower trap. Furthermore, we found a significant negative correlation between the isotope ratios of Pb
and concentrations of leachable Mn, normalized to those of leachable Pb, suggesting that manganese oxides play an important
role in transporting Pb from the upper layers of the ocean to the deeper layers. Our results support the speculation published
in a previous study that Pb might be scavenged by Mn oxides in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. 相似文献

Seasonal and spatial variations of particulate organic carbon (POC) flux were observed with sediment traps at three sites
in the Japan Sea (western and eastern Japan Basin and Yamato Basin). In order to investigate the transport processes of POC,
radiocarbon (14C) measurements were also carried out. Annual mean POC flux at 1 km depth was 30.7 mg m−2day−1 in the western Japan Basin, 12.0 mg m−2day−1 in the eastern Japan Basin and 23.8 mg m−2day−1 in the Yamato Basin. At all stations, notably higher POC flux was observed in spring (March–May), indicating biological production
and rapid sinking of POC in this season. Sinking POC in the high flux season showed modern Δ14C values (>0‰) and aged POC (Δ14C < −40‰) was observed in winter (December–January). The Δ14C values in sinking POC were negatively correlated with aluminum concentration, indicating that Δ14C is strongly related to the lateral supply of lithogenic materials. The Δ14C values also showed correlations with excess manganese (Mnxs) concentrations in sinking particles. The Δ14C-Mnxs relationship suggested that (1) the majority of the aged POC was advected by bottom currents and incorporated into sinking
particles, and (2) some of the aged POC might be supplied from the sea surface at the trap site as part of terrestrial POC.
From the difference in the Δ14C-Mnxs relationships between the Japan Basin and the Yamato Basin, we consider that basin-scale transport processes of POC occur
in the Japan Sea. 相似文献

Hydropower generation plays a key role in mitigating GHG emissions from the overall power supply. Although the maximum achievable hydropower generation (MAHG) will be affected by climate change, it is seldom incorporated in integrated assessment models. In this study, we first used the H08 global hydrological model to project MAHG under two physical climate change scenarios. Then, we used the Asia-Pacific Integrated Model/Computable General Equilibrium integrated assessment model to quantify the economic consequences of the presence or absence of mitigation policy on hydropower generation. This approach enabled us to quantify the physical impacts of climate change and the effect of mitigation policy—together and in isolation—on hydropower generation and the economy, both globally and regionally. Although there was little overall global change, we observed substantial differences among regions in the MAHG average change (from ??71% in Middle East to 14% in Former Soviet Union in RCP8.5). We found that the magnitude of changes in regional gross domestic product (GDP) was small negative (positive) in Brazil (Canada) by 2100, for the no mitigation policy scenario. These consequences were intensified with the implementation of mitigation policies that enhanced the price competitiveness of hydropower against fossil fuel-powered technologies. Overall, our results suggested that there would be no notable globally aggregated impacts on GDP by 2100 because the positive effects in some regions were canceled out by negative effects in other regions. 相似文献

To study biological effects on the particulate removal of chemical elements from seawater, sediment trap experiments were carried out successively ten times throughout the spring phytoplankton bloom in Funka Bay. Sediment traps were deployed every one to two weeks at 1, 40 and 80 m depths. The settling particles obtained were analyzed for trace metals, phosphate and silicate. The propagation of diatoms in spring results in larger particulate fluxes than that of dinoflagellates. The biogenic silicate concentration is higher in the earlier period, when diatoms are predominant, than in the subsequent period, when dinoflagellates are predominant. The concentrations of aluminum, iron, manganese and cobalt in the settling particles comprising largely biogenic particles are lower during phytoplankton bloom. The concentration of copper is not reduced by the addition of biogenic particles, and its vertical flux is approximately proportional to the total flux, indicating that its concentration in the biogenic particles is nearly equal to that in the non-biogenic particles. The results for nickel and lead show the same tendency as for copper. Cadmium is more concentrated in biogenic particles than in non-biogenic particles, and the concentration of cadmium in the settling particles decreases with depth, similarly to phosphate and organic matter. Thus, metals in seawater are segregated by biological affinities, and the degree of incorporation into biogenic particles is in the order Cd > Pb, Ni, Cu > Co > Mn, Fe, Al. Biogenic particles are the most important agent controlling the vertical distribution of metals in the ocean. They remove the metals from the surface water, transport them through the water column, and regenerate them in the deep. 相似文献

A fluid‐saturated flat channel between solids, such as a fracture, is known to support guided waves—sometimes called Krauklis waves. At low frequencies, Krauklis waves can have very low velocity and large attenuation and are very dispersive. Because they propagate primarily within the fluid channel formed by a fracture, Krauklis waves can potentially be used for geological fracture characterization in the field. Using an analogue fracture consisting of a pair of flat slender plates with a mediating fluid layer—a trilayer model—we conducted laboratory measurements of the velocity and attenuation of Krauklis waves. Unlike previous experiments using ultrasonic waves, these experiments used frequencies well below 1 kHz, resulting in extremely low velocity and large attenuation of the waves. The mechanical compliance of the fracture was varied by modifying the stiffness of the fluid seal of the physical fracture model, and proppant (fracture‐filling high‐permeability sand) was also introduced into the fracture to examine its impact on wave propagation. A theoretical frequency equation for the trilayer model was derived using the poroelastic linear‐slip interface model, and its solutions were compared to the experimental results. 相似文献
