Average ice crystal size and bulk short-wave single-scattering properties of cirrus clouds

The bulk single-scattering properties of cirrus clouds required for driving the radiation scheme in large-scale climate models are computed with respect to various size distributions and ice crystal shapes. It is shown that the average ice crystal size, defined as the ratio of total volume to the total projected area, can well-characterize the effect of various size distributions in determining the bulk radiative properties of cirrus clouds. Details of the size distributions are not significant in specifying the radiative properties of these clouds if the effective average size is thus defined. Therefore, the ratio of the total volume to the total projected area is an ideal parameter for describing the bulk single-scattering properties. The effect of ice crystal shape is not critical in the parameterization of the extinction coefficient and single-scattering albedo. However, the various crystal habits must be accounted for in the parameterization of the asymmetry parameter. The resulting parameterization is intended for radiative transfer calculations involving cirrus clouds in large-scale models.

南极拉斯曼丘陵长英质片麻岩中的粗粒夕线石可能有内部出溶现象,出溶形成的矿物有磁铁矿、钛铁矿-赤铁矿和石英出溶矿物条纹,并有少量的斜方辉石.电子探针成分分析表明,本区夕线石高温结晶时不仅有Fe3 ,可能还有Fe2 、Mg2 和Ti4 的替换,铁氧化物质量分数可高达2.9%;随着温度的不断降低,固溶体互溶度也不断减小,大部分微量组分从夕线石中析出形成出溶结构,而且低温变体中稳定的替换元素以Fd3 为主.铁组分的类质同像替换对物理化学计算和夕线石矿化环境均有所影响,对夕线石晶胞参数a的影响很小,而对b,尤其对c的影响较大,与前人的结论有所不同.     

Mg—Al水滑石纳米晶热分解行为的TG—MS研究

利用热重-质谱联用仪(TG-MS)和多晶XRD对水热法制备的Mg-Al水滑石纳米晶的热分解行为进行表征研究表明:Mg-Al水滑石的热性能与其晶体化学特征有密切的关系。Mg-Al水滑石的热分解过程可分为4个阶段:①T≤280℃时,失层间H2O;②T=280℃~380℃时,失层板中[Mg—OH—Al]结构单元OH-;③T=380℃~580℃时,失层板中[Mg—OH—Mg]结构单元的OH-;④T=395℃~580℃时,层间CO32-逸出。后两个阶段有较大重叠性。[Mg—OH—Mg]中OH-和CO32-最大逸出量对应的温度明显不一致。[Mg—OH—Mg]中OH-的逸出是导致层状结构破坏的诱因,热分解的阶段性随升温速率提高而表现得明显。Mg-Al水滑石的热分解行为受扩散控制。

在BCC_RAD辐射传输模式和包含多形状冰晶粒子的冰云光学性质参数化方案的基础上,详细分析了不同冰晶粒子权重选取对冰云光学和辐射特性的影响。结果显示,不同形状冰晶粒子权重的选取对长波带平均消光系数、单次散射比、不对称因子和短波带平均不对称因子均有较大的影响。冰晶粒子权重选取对长波辐射通量有很大影响:对长波向下辐射通量,权重选择不同可在云底处造成高达10.50 W/m2的差别;对长波向上辐射通量,权重选择不同可在云顶处造成高达15.05 W/m2的差别。冰晶粒子权重选择对短波辐射通量也存在较大影响:对短波向下辐射通量,权重选择不同可在云底处造成高达12.48 W/m2的差别;对短波向上辐射通量,权重选择不同可在云顶处造成高达10.23 W/m2的差别。冰晶粒子权重选择对长波加热率影响较大,在云顶处和云底处分别可达1.31和-2.06 K/d。研究表明,不同形状冰晶粒子权重的选取对冰云光学性质和辐射计算均有较大的影响,在长波区间尤其明显。      

Observations on the origin of micrite crystals

The transformation of depositional lime mud to microporous micrite has been the subject of several important papers recently in response to the recognition that micropores are important to the production of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs. The origin of micrite has generally been described as a micro dissolution and reprecipitation process (often referred to as Ostwald ripening), with nanometer-sized depositional particles being dissolved and larger crystals (micrite) averaging 2 μm in diameter being precipitated. These conclusions were tested by detailed scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations of micrite and minimicrite crystals found in the mid-Pliocene to upper Miocene section of the Clino core taken on the western edge of the Bahama Bank. Minimicrite in this data set is shown to be composed of both aragonite and calcite with calcite being the dominate mineral. In addition, micrite crystals are composed of cemented nanometer-sized calcite crystals and are not individually precipitated calcite crystals. As a result, the faces of the micrite are anhedral and knobby in appearance rather than being smooth, euhedral crystal faces. Extensive size measurements could find no size selectivity in the dissolution of the calcite minimicrite, indicating that the Ostwald ripening process is not active. Aragonite and calcite crystals are dissolved and some calcite crystals act as nuclei for the precipitation of the dissolved carbonate. The origin of the micropores is also debated. Some authors call upon a dissolution event to increase porosity of a partially cemented micrite, based largely on the anhedral nature of the micrite. Others conclude that porosity is originally inherited from the deposition lime mud and that porosity is lost by overgrowth cementation, which results in euhedral micrite crystals. The observations presented here show that anhedral crystals are due to the inclusion of nanometer calcite crystals rather than to dissolution of euhedral crystals. Lastly, these micrite crystals are formed by calcite and aragonite sediment precipitated from an aragonitic sea, disproving the assertion of some authors that porous micrite only forms from sediments deposited in calcitic seas.     

Constraining the conditions of Barrovian metamorphism in Sikkim,India: P–T–t paths of garnet crystallization in the Lesser Himalayan Belt

Garnet crystallization in metapelites from the Barrovian garnet and staurolite zones of the Lesser Himalayan Belt in Sikkim is modelled utilizing Gibbs free energy minimization, multi‐component diffusion theory and a simple nucleation and growth algorithm. The predicted mineral assemblages and garnet‐growth zoning match observations remarkably well for relatively tight, clockwise metamorphic P–T paths that are characterized by prograde gradients of ～30 °C kbar^?1 for garnet‐zone rocks and ～20 °C kbar^?1 for rocks from the staurolite zone. Estimates for peak metamorphic temperature increase up‐structure toward the Main Central Thrust. According to our calculations, garnet stopped growing at peak pressures, and protracted heating after peak pressure was absent or insignificant. Almost identical P–T paths for the samples studied and the metamorphic continuity of the Lesser Himalayan Belt support thermo‐mechanical models that favour tectonic inversion of a coherent package of Barrovian metamorphic rocks. Time‐scales associated with the metamorphism were too short for chemical diffusion to substantially modify garnet‐growth zoning in rocks from the garnet and staurolite zones. In general, the pressure of initial garnet growth decreases, and the temperature required for initial garnet growth was reached earlier, for rocks buried closer toward the MCT. Deviations from this overall trend can be explained by variations in bulk‐rock chemistry.     

Modelling the evolution of vein microstructure with phase-field techniques – a first look

Vein microstructures in the Earth's crust contain a wealth of information on the physical conditions of crystal growth, but correct interpretation requires an improved understanding of the processes involved. In this paper the processes involved in the formation of veins are briefly reviewed, and the possibilities of modelling these processes using the phase-field method are discussed. This technique, which is established in the computational materials science community to investigate crystallization processes, is shown to be a powerful tool to describe processes during vein formation and other geological processes involving crystal growth.     

Generation of calc-alkaline andesite of the Tatun volcanic group (Taiwan) within an extensional environment by crystal fractionation

The Pliocene–Pleistocene northern Taiwan volcanic zone (NTVZ) is located within a trench-arc–back-arc basin and oblique arc–continent collision zone. Consequently the origin and tectonic setting of the andesitic rocks within the NTVZ and their relation to other circum-Pacific volcanic island-arc systems is uncertain. Rocks collected from the Tatun volcanic group (TTVG) include basaltic to andesitic rocks. The basalt is compositionally similar to within-plate continental tholeiites whereas the basaltic andesite and andesite are calc-alkaline; however, all rocks show a distinct depletion of Nb-Ta in their normalized incompatible element diagrams. The Sr-Nd isotope compositions of the TTVG rocks are very similar and have a relatively restricted range (i.e. I_Sr = 0.70417–0.70488; εNd_(T) = +2.2 to +3.1), suggesting that they are derived directly or indirectly from the same mantle source. The basalts are likely derived by mixing between melts from the asthenosphere and a subduction-modified subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) source, whereas the basaltic andesites may be derived by partial melting of pyroxenitic lenses within the SCLM and mixing with asthenospheric melts. MELTS modelling using a starting composition equal to the most primitive basaltic andesite, shallow-pressure (i.e. ≤1 kbar), oxidizing conditions (i.e. FMQ +1), and near water saturation will produce compositions similar to the andesites observed in this study. Petrological modelling and the Sr-Nd isotope results indicate that the volcanic rocks from TTVG, including the spatially and temporally associated Kuanyinshan volcanic rocks, are derived from the same mantle source and that the andesites are the product of fractional crystallization of a parental magma similar in composition to the basaltic andesites. Furthermore, our results indicate that, in some cases, calc-alkaline andesites may be generated by crystal fractionation of mafic magmas derived in an extensional back-arc setting rather than a subduction zone setting.     

Crystal Structure and Chemical Composition of Ludwigite from Vranovac Ore Deposit (Boranja Mountain,Serbia)

The crystal structure of ludwigite from Vranovac ore deposit (Boranja Mt., Serbia) was refined using the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) Rietveld method in the space group Pbam to a final RB=7.45% and RF=5.26%. It has the unit cell dimensions of: a=9.2515(2) ?; b=12.3109(2) ?; c=3.03712(7) ?; and V=345.91(1) ?3. The calculated distances and angles are mostly in good agreement with the Mg2+-Fe2+ substitutions across the M(1) and M(3) sites, as well as with the Fe3+-Al3+ replacement in the M(4) site. However, the mean observed M(2)-O distance is considerably shorter than prescribed, due to a slight increase of the Fe3+ content in the M(2) site. Such replacement was compensated by slight increase of the Fe2+ content in the M(4) site, resulting in the (Mg1.48Fe2+0.46Fe3+0.05Mn0.02)2.01(Fe3+0.94Fe2+0.04Al0.02)1.00B1.00O5 composition. The formation temperature was estimated to be about 500–600°C. The influences of the various chemical compositions to the crystallographic parameters, M-O distances, M(3) and M(4) sites shift, distortion parameters and estimated valences, were also studied and compared with other reference samples.
