The composition, density and community structure of the benthic macrofauna were investigated in sediments of the Campeche Canyon in the SW Gulf of Mexico. Total macrofaunal density ranged from 9466±2736 ind m−2 at the continental shelf station to 1550±195 ind m−2 in the canyon. Density values significantly diminished with distance from the coast and depth; only a few stations in the center of the canyon displayed larger density values (E-37 with 4666±1530 ind m−2, E-36 with 5791±642 ind m−2 and E-26 with 6925±2258 ind m−2). Densities were positively correlated to organic nitrogen in the sediment (r=0.82) and coarse silt (r=0.43), and negatively with depth (r=−0.74) and distance from the coast (r=−0.68). At all stations, the polychaete worms contributed most to the multi-species community structure. The nematodes and Foraminifera displayed their highest densities in the center of the canyon. The biomass values declined significantly with depth. We conclude that the macrofauna density and biomass changed in response to organic matter contents in the sediment, both with distance from the coast and with depth. 相似文献

A model for adjustment of differential gravity measurements with simultaneous gravimeter calibration
A mathematical model is proposed for adjustment of differential or relative gravity measurements, involving simultaneously
instrumental readings, coefficients of the calibration function, and gravity values of selected base stations. Tests were
performed with LaCoste and Romberg model G gravimeter measurements for a set of base stations located along a north–south
line with 1750 mGal gravity range. This line was linked to nine control stations, where absolute gravity values had been determined
by the free-fall method, with an accuracy better than 10 μGal. The model shows good consistence and stability. Results show
the possibility of improving the calibration functions of gravimeters, as well as a better estimation of the gravity values,
due to the flexibility admitted to the values of the calibration coefficients.

The influence of upwelling on the distribution of chlorophyll a within the Bay of Concepción, Chile is discussed in light of continuous measurements of surface in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence and temperature taken simultaneously along horizontal transects, and hydrographic stations' data. Results suggest significant temporal variability both in the distribution of in vivo fluorescence, temperature and salinity within the Bay and in the characteristics of the exchange between the Bay and the adjacent shelf waters, induced by variable upwelling. Upwelling is produced by the predominant south-westerly winds during the summer. Significant variations in the wind direction occur with periods from two to seven days. During active upwelling, exchange is characterized by a surface outflow through the mouth of the Bay and an inflow at depth. Low chlorophyll fluorescence is confined to the upwelling areas on the eastern shore either within or outside the Bay; high chlorophyll fluorescence is confined to the central and western Bay. Density data suggest a three-layered circulation pattern at the mouth of the Bay during the upwelling relaxation involving an inflow both at the surface and bottom and outflow at mid-depth. Associated with this exchange is an active high chlorophyll transport from the Bay to the adjacent coastal waters at mid-depth and inflow of low chlorophyll water from the adjacent shelf at the surface and near the bottom. 相似文献

EVA: GPS-based extended velocity and acceleration determination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In this work, a new GPS carrier phase-based velocity and acceleration determination method is presented that extends the effective
range of previous techniques. The method is named ‘EVA’, and may find applications in fields such as airborne gravimetry when
rough terrain or water bodies make difficult or impractical to set up nearby GPS reference receivers. The EVA method is similar
to methods such as Kennedy (Precise acceleration determination from carrier phase measurements. In: Proceedings of the 15th
international technical meeting of the satellite division of the Institute of Navigation. ION GPS 2002, Portland pp 962–972,
2002b) since it uses L1 carrier phase observables for velocity and acceleration determination. However, it introduces a wide network
of stations and it is independent of precise clock information because it estimates satellite clock drifts and drift rates
‘on-the-fly’, requiring only orbit data of sufficient quality. Moreover, with EVA the solution rate is only limited by data
rate, and not by the available precise satellite clocks data rate. The results obtained are more robust for long baselines
than the results obtained with the reference Kennedy method. An advantage of being independent of precise clock information
is that, beside IGS Final products, also the Rapid, Ultra-Rapid (observed) and Ultra-Rapid (predicted) products may be used.
Moreover, the EVA technique may also use the undifferenced ionosphere-free carrier phase combination (LC), overcoming baseline
limitations in cases where ionosphere gradients may be an issue and very low biases are required. During the development of
this work, some problems were found in the velocity estimation process of the Kennedy method. The sources of the problems
were identified, and an improved version of the Kennedy method was used for this research work. An experiment was performed
using a light aircraft flying over the Pyrenees, showing that both EVA and the improved Kennedy methods are able to cope with
the dynamics of mountainous flight. A RTK-derived solution was also generated, and when comparing the three methods to a known
zero-velocity reference the results yielded similar performance. The EVA and the improved-Kennedy methods outperformed the
RTK solutions, and the EVA method provided the best results in this experiment. Finally, both the improved version of the
Kennedy method and the EVA method were applied to a network in equatorial South America with baselines of more than 1,770 km,
and during local noon. Under this tough scenario, the EVA method showed a clear advantage for all components of velocity and
acceleration, yielding better and more robust results. 相似文献

The main goal of this paper is to provide a summary of our current knowledge of the ionosphere as it relates to space geodetic
techniques, especially the most informative technology, global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), specifically the fully
deployed and operational global positioning system (GPS). As such, the main relevant modeling points are discussed, and the
corresponding results of ionospheric monitoring are related, which were mostly computed using GPS data and based on the direct
experience of the authors. We address various phenomena such as horizontal and vertical ionospheric morphology in quiet conditions,
traveling ionospheric disturbances, solar flares, ionospheric storms and scintillation. Finally, we also tackle the question
of how improved knowledge of ionospheric conditions, especially in terms of an accurate understanding of the distribution
of free electrons, can improve space geodetic techniques at different levels, such as higher-order ionospheric effects, precise
GNSS navigation, single-antenna GNSS orientation and real-time GNSS meteorology. 相似文献

The effects of multiple stressors on the benthic macroinvertebrate community were monitored in Tecuitlapa Norte, a shallow,
perennially-astatic, warm, mesosaline, sodaalkaline lake in Mexico. Physico-chemical and biological variables were determined
monthly for one year. Tecuitlapa Norte displayed a clear seasonal environmental pattern (dry and rainy seasons). The benthic
macroinvertebrate community consisted of five species:Culicoides occidentalis sonorensis Jorgensen,Ephydra hians Say,Stratiomys sp.,Eristalis sp., andLimnophora sp. of which the first two were dominant and the rest scarce.C. occidentalis was the most important species numerically (76 percent of the total), whileE. hians dominated the biomass (73 percent of the total). Primarily salinity and secondarily pH appear to be the most important environmental
factors controlling dominance of benthic organisms in Tecuitlapa Norte. Seasonal abundance dynamics of the dominant organisms
was associated with phases in their reproductive cycles: environmentally-triggered (i.e., temperature rise, water-level descent)
pupation and emergence periods. We concluded that whereas physical and chemical factors (i.e., salinity, pH) exerted the primary
control on benthic macroinvertebrate community composition in Tecuitlapa Norte, another assembly of variables (e.g., water-level,
temperature) influenced species distribution and abundance. 相似文献

Ammonium excretion by benthic invertebrates and sediment-water nitrogen flux in the Gulf of Mexico near the Mississippi River outflow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Benthic macroinvertebrate biomass and ammonium excretion rates were measured at four stations in the Gulf of Mexico near the Mississippi River mouth. Calculated areal excretion rates were then compared to sediment-water nitrogen fluxes measured in benthic bottom lander chambers at similar stations to estimate the potential importance of macroinvertebrate excretion to sediment nitrogen mineralization. Excretion rates for individual crustaceans (amphipods and decapods) was 2–21 nmoles NH4 + (mg dry weight)?1 h?1. The mean excretion rates for the polychaetes, Paraprionaspio pinnata [6–12 nmoles NH4 + (mg dry weight)?1h?1] and Magelona sp. [27–53 nmoles NH4 + (mg dry weight)?1h?1], were comparable or higher than previous measurements for similar size benthic or pelagic invertebrates incubated at the same temperature (22±1°C). Although the relatively high rates of excretion by these selective feeders may have been partially caused by experimental handling effects (e.g., removal from sediment substrates), they probably reflected the availability of nitrogen-rich food supplies in the Mississippi River plume. When the measured weight-specific rates were extrapolated to total areal biomass, areal macroinvertebrate excretion estimates ranged from 7 μmole NH4 + m?2h?1 at a 40-m deep station near the river mouth to 18 μmole NH4 + m?2h?1 at a shallower (28-m deep) station further from the river mouth. The net flux of ammonium and nitrate from the sediments to the water measured in bottom lander chambers in the same region were 15–53 μmole NH4 + m?2h?1 and ?25–21 μmole NO3 ? m?2h?1. These results suggest that excretion of NH4 + by macroinvertebrates could be a potentially important component of benthic nitrogen regeneration in the Mississippi River plume-Gulf shelf region. 相似文献
