Multi-technique monitoring of ocean tide loading in northern France

We have organised afield study of ocean tide loading in the northwestern part of France, where tidal amplitudes are known to be among the highest in the world. GPS and gravimetric techniques have already proved their capability to measure such weak and high-frequency signals. In this study, these classical observations are complemented with less usual techniques, such as tiltmeter and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) measurements. We present here the preliminary results for a common period of observations spanning from 12–19 May 2004. Additional measurements from the French Transportable Laser Ranging Station (FTLRS) were available during September and October 2004. Observation residuals are computed as the difference between the observed and the predicted time signals. We obtain small RMS residuals for GPS measurements (2.5/3.1/4.5 mm for the eastward, northward and upward components), for absolute and relative gravimetry (9 nm/s² and 13 nm/s²) and for tiltmeters (0.05 μrad for EW component). We also fit the amplitude of the main M2 tidal constituent to FTLRS observations and we find a value of 3.731 cm, which is comparable to the theoretical value.

本文对兴蒙造山带南缘东段和龙地区八家子岩体和勇新岩体进行了岩相学、地球化学、LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年和Sr-Nd同位素研究,以便制约该区的区域构造演化。锆石测年结果显示,八家子石英闪长岩结晶年龄为257.8±0.9Ma,形成于晚二叠世早期,勇新二长花岗岩的结晶年龄为243.2±1.1Ma和238.5±2.8Ma,形成于中三叠世。八家子石英闪长岩为钠质钙碱系列、偏铝质的Ⅰ型花岗岩类,富集轻稀土(LREEs)和大离子亲石元素(LILEs,Cs、Ba、K和Sr),亏损重稀土(HREEs)和高场强元素(HFSEs,Nb、Ta和P),结合Sr-Nd同位素特征显示其为壳源成因,形成于俯冲环境下,是玄武质下地壳部分熔融的产物。勇新二长花岗岩富硅、铝和钾,为高钾钙碱性系列、偏铝质-弱过铝质的Ⅰ型花岗岩,富集轻稀土(LREEs)及大离子亲石元素(LILEs,Cs、K、Sr),亏损重稀土(HREEs)和高场强元素(HFSEs,Nb、Ta、P和Ti),结合Sr-Nd同位素特征显示其为壳源成因,形成于同碰撞环境下,是玄武质下地壳部分熔融的产物。花岗岩的侵位反映了研究区晚二叠世早期古亚洲洋板块俯冲于华北克拉通之下,中三叠世华北克拉通与兴凯地块碰撞拼合,说明古亚洲洋应闭合于晚二叠世末期-早三叠世期间。     

Long-term analysis of measured and simulated evapotranspiration and soil water content

In our study, we analysed a period from 2003 to 2012 with micrometeorological data measured at a boundary-layer field site operated by the Lindenberg Meteorological Observatory – Richard-Aßmann-Observatory of the German Meteorological Service (DWD). Amongst others, these data consist of real evapotranspiration (ETr) rates measured by eddy covariance and soil water contents determined by time domain reflectometry. Measured ETr and soil water contents were compared with those simulated by a simple soil–vegetation–atmosphere transfer (SVAT) scheme consisting of the FAO56 Penman-Monteith equation and the soil water flux model Hydrus-1D. We applied this SVAT scheme using uncompensatory and compensatory root water uptake (RWU). Soil water contents and ETr rates calculated using uncompensatory RWU showed an acceptable fit to the measured ones. In comparison, the use of compensatory RWU resulted in lower model performance due to higher deviations between measured and simulated soil moisture values and ETr rates during dry summer periods.

本文对采自东太平洋CC区的2块不同类型的铁锰结核及中太平洋麦哲伦海山的1块富Co结壳,采用XRD和ICP-MS(AES)等分析研究方法,进行了矿物地球化学的比较研究。结果表明:铁锰结核主要由水羟锰矿及钡镁锰矿组成,富Co结壳主要以水羟锰矿为主。与2块铁锰结核相比,富Co结壳总体上Cu、Al、Na含量较低而Co含量较高;两块不同类型的结核相比较,水成型铁锰结核的P、Ti含量较高,而成岩型铁锰结核的Cu、Ni含量较高。3块样品的稀土元素含量均较高,为(521.8~1 424.15)×10-6。REE分布型式总体呈平缓型,(La/Yb)N为0.72~1.01,并具程度不同的Ce、Eu正异常。经估算,富Co结壳的生长速率为1.92~4.24mm/Ma,水成型铁锰结核的生长速率为1.31~14.29 mm/Ma,成岩型铁锰结核的生长速率为11.24~76.32mm/Ma。并根据铁锰结核的化学成分变化推测了其生长环境的变化。     

Detrital footprint of the Mozambique ocean: U–Pb SHRIMP and Pb evaporation zircon geochronology of metasedimentary gneisses in eastern Madagascar

The southern East African Orogen is a collisional belt where the identification of major suture zones has proved elusive. In this study, we apply U–Pb isotopic techniques to date detrital zircons from a key part of the East African Orogen, analyse their possible source region and discuss how this information can help in unravelling the orogen.U–Pb sensitive high-mass resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) and Pb evaporation analyses of detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks in eastern Madagascar reveal that: (1) the protoliths of many of these rocks were deposited between 800 and 550 Ma; and (2) these rocks are sourced from regions with rocks that date back to over 3400 Ma, with dominant age populations of 3200–3000, 2650, 2500 and 800–700 Ma.The Dharwar Craton of southern India is a potential source region for these sediments, as here rocks date back to over 3400 Ma and include abundant gneissic rocks with protoliths older than 3000 Ma, sedimentary rocks deposited at 3000–2600 Ma and granitoids that crystallised at 2513–2552 Ma. The 800–700 Ma zircons could potentially be sourced from elsewhere in India or from the Antananarivo Block of central Madagascar in the latter stages of closure of the Mozambique Ocean. The region of East Africa adjacent to Madagascar in Gondwana reconstructions (the Tanzania craton) is rejected as a potential source as there are no known rocks here older than 3000 Ma, and no detrital grains in our samples sourced from Mesoproterozoic and early Neoproterozoic rocks that are common throughout central east Africa. In contrast, coeval sediments 200 km west, in the Itremo sheet of central Madagascar, have detrital zircon age profiles consistent with a central East African source, suggesting that two late Neoproterozoic provenance fronts pass through east Madagascar at approximately the position of the Betsimisaraka suture. These observations support an interpretation that the Betsimisaraka suture separates rocks that were derived from different locations within, or at the margins of, the Mozambique Ocean basin and therefore, that the suture is the site of subduction of a strand of Mozambique Ocean crust.     

基于时序栅格的海洋异常事件提取方法

海洋异常事件（Marine Abnormal Event,MAE）可为区域海气相互作用和全球气候变化研究提供重要的时空特征参考,具有重要的科学意义。鉴此,本文基于长时间序列的栅格数据集,提出了一种海洋异常事件时空提取算法（Marine Abnormal Event Spatio-Temporal Extraction Method,MAESTEM）。MAESTEM的核心步骤包括事件的时间维度提取、事件的空间维度提取和事件追踪。在时间维度提取方面,将每一个栅格像元作为一维时间序列,计算其平均值和标准差作为判断每个时刻是否异常的标准,并根据异常持续发生的时间长短来提取时间维度的海洋异常事件（Temporal MAE,TMAE）。在空间维度提取方面,利用空间邻域统计方法,统计栅格像元的空间邻域中属于TMAE的个数,并通过空间维度异常判断规则获取空间维度的海洋异常事件（Spatial MAE,SMAE）。利用时刻状态的SMAE的空间拓扑关系,根据事件前后时刻覆盖的空间区域是否重叠以及事件持续的时间长短,实现异常事件的追踪。最后,通过提取太平洋海域1993年1月至2012年12月的月均海面高度异常（Sea Level Anomaly,SLA）事件,验证了该算法的有效性和实用性。

北冰洋阿尔法脊晚第四纪沉积有机质的来源变化及其古环境意义

为探讨晚第四纪有机碳埋藏情况变化与海冰覆盖和环流等变化之间的关系,分析了北冰洋阿尔法脊08B85-D孔沉积物的Mn和Ca含量、粒度组成、有机碳含量和有机碳δ13C组成。结果表明有机碳含量并不具备冰期-间冰期旋回性,有机碳来源具有4种不同模式,海冰覆盖程度和波弗特环流的强度共同决定了阿尔法脊处有机碳来源的构成,在MIS7内若干时段海冰覆盖极少,极盛的波弗特环流可将陆源有机质直接输送至阿尔法脊处,使沉积有机质中陆地来源占主导,形成了具有地层对比意义的独特信号。在MIS6-MIS1,08B85-D孔有机碳始终以海洋源贡献占主导,与海冰覆盖程度维持在较高水平,限制了陆源有机碳的输送有关,特别是在MIS6和MIS4-MIS3时,海冰很盛,波弗特环流有可能消亡。     

Quasi-conservative behaviour of Be in deep waters of the Weddell Sea and the Atlantic sector of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current

We present the first transect of dissolved ¹⁰Be depth profiles across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in the Atlantic sector. North of the Polar Front the ¹⁰Be concentrations increase continuously from very low values at the surface to values of up to 1600 atoms/g at depth. Deep water ¹⁰Be concentrations of particular water masses are consistent with earlier results obtained further north. South of the Polar Front and in the Weddell Sea the distribution of ¹⁰Be is also characterised by low surface concentrations but below 1000 m depth the concentrations are relatively constant and significantly higher (up to 2000 atoms/g) than further north, probably as a result of mixing and advection of water masses of Pacific origin. Overall the deep water ¹⁰Be distribution is obviously not significantly affected by scavenging processes or ice melt and comparison with the density distribution suggests that ¹⁰Be can be viewed as a quasi-conservative tracer. This provides a tool for an improved understanding of the behaviour of other more particle reactive trace metals in the Southern Ocean such as ²³⁰Th: in deep waters north of the ACC/Weddell Gyre boundary (AWB) ¹⁰Be/²³⁰Th has a relatively constant value (1.7±0.3×10⁹ atoms/dpm) over a wide density range whereas south of the AWB the ratio is significantly lower (1.1±0.2×10⁹ atoms/dpm). This normalisation to ¹⁰Be corroborates that ²³⁰Th is enriched by 50% due to accumulation south of the AWB as a consequence of minimal particulate fluxes. The quasi-conservative behaviour deduced from our results also implies that ¹⁰Be can only be used as a tracer for Southern Ocean particle fluxes in the past if ocean circulation patterns and water mass residence times did not change significantly.
