Influence of extractable soil manganese on oxidation capacity of different soils in Korea

We examined the relationship between soil oxidation capacity and extractable soil manganese, iron oxides, and other soil properties. The Korean soils examined in this study exhibited low to medium Cr oxidation capacities, oxidizing 0.00–0.47 mmol/kg, except for TG-4 soils, which had the highest capacity for oxidizing added Cr(III) [>1.01 mmol/kg of oxidized Cr(VI)]. TG and US soils, with high Mn contents, had relatively high oxidation capacities. The Mn amounts extracted by dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB) (Mn^d), NH₂OH·HCl (Mn^h), and hydroquinone (Mn^r) were generally very similar, except for the YS1 soils, and were well correlated. Only small proportions of either total Mn or DCB-extractable Mn were extracted by NH₂OH·HCl and hydroquinone in the YS1 soils, suggesting inclusion of NH₂OH·HCl and hydroquinone-resistant Mn oxides, because these extractants are weaker reductants than DCB. No Cr oxidation test results were closely related to total Mn concentrations, but Mn^d, Mn^h, and Mn^r showed a relatively high correlation with the Cr tests (r = 0.655–0.851; P < 0.01). The concentrations of Mn^d and Mn^h were better correlated with the Cr oxidation tests than was the Mn^r concentration, suggesting that the oxidation capacity of our soil samples can be better explained by Mn^d and Mn^h than by Mn^r. The first component in principal components analysis indicated that extractable soil Mn was a main factor controlling net Cr oxidation in the soils. Total soil Mn, Fe oxides, and the clay fraction are crucial for predicting the mobility of pollutants and heavy metals in soils. The second principal component indicated that the presence of Fe oxides in soils had a significant relationship with the clay fraction and total Mn oxide, and was also related to heavy-metal concentrations (Zn, Cd, and Cu, but not Pb).

Hypocenter migration of fluid-induced earthquake swarms in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone (North Iceland)

The Tjörnes Fracture Zone separates Iceland's North Volcanic Zone from Kolbeinsey-Ridge (Greenland-Sea). Seismicity mainly occurs in swarms, often 100 and more per day, with similar waveforms and frequently offshore.We analysed three earthquake swarms between June and September 2004, recorded by 35 stations, i.e. the permanent Icelandic SIL network and a temporary setup of land and ocean-bottom-seismometers, and 5 swarms of the years 1994-1997 only using the sparser SIL network. Events occurring in the same swarm often show similar waveforms at the same station. We cross-correlated these time series by using a new approach of three component cross-correlation in order to relocate the hypocenters relative within the swarms and to precisely determine the direction and velocity of migration. Our method delivered good relocations with small spatial and temporal errors. This allows the interpretation and characterisation of the observed earthquake swarms. We try to classify observed migration velocities by comparing them to typical fluid- and crack-propagation velocities and determine focal-mechanisms and orientation of the best fitting plane through the hypocenter distribution.We separate the investigated events into two types of earthquake swarms, supposedly dike-induced and hydrothermally- or gas-induced swarms, by pointing out typical characteristics of both types and by comparing them to similar events of other volcanic regions. Based on different migration velocities, we will discuss possible mechanisms and their triggers of all single clusters within a swarm. Hypothetic models will be established, trying to explain the processes during the swarm episodes and to derive possible pre-eruptive patterns from the character of seismicity.     

The Regularized WSM6 Microphysical Scheme and Its Validation in WRF 4D-Var

A cold cloud assimilation scheme was developed that fully considers the water substances, i.e., water vapor, cloud water, rain, ice, snow, and graupel, based on the single-moment WSM6 microphysical scheme and four-dimensional variational(4D-Var) data assimilation in the Weather Research and Forecasting data assimilation(WRFDA) system. The verification of the regularized WSM6 and its tangent linearity model(TLM) and adjoint mode model(ADM) was proven successful. Two groups of single observation a...     

On the long-term memory characteristic in land surface air temperatures: How well do CMIP6 models perform?

Stemming from the multi-scale interactions of various processes, long-term memory (LTM) has become a well-recognized property in the climate system. Whether a dynamic model can reproduce the observed LTM is a widely used criterion for model evaluation, especially regarding its ability in simulating natural variabilities. While many works have shown poor model skill in simulating the LTM of land surface air temperature (LSAT), it is not yet known whether CMIP6 models offer any improvement. In this study, the performances of 60 CMIP6 models in simulating the LTM characteristics in LSAT were evaluated. Results showed that most models reproduced the LTM in the global-mean LSAT, among which AWI-ESM-1-1-LR and E3SM-1-0 performed best. All 60 models reproduced the variation in LTM with latitude. CNRM-CM6-1 and HadGEM3-GC31-LL performed best in simulating the LTM of LSAT at the global scale. The multi-model mean (MMM) performed better than any single model. The biases of the MMM and CRUTEM5, and among the 60 models, were significant in the equatorial and coastal regions, which may be attributable to the simulation differences of the models in terms of their ocean–atmosphere coupling processes.摘要利用去趋势涨落分析 (DFA) 方法计算序列的长程记忆性 (LTM) , 以CRUTEM5数据集的结果作为观测参照, 评估了60个参与第六次国际耦合模式比较计划 (CMIP6) 的气候模式对地表气温LTM的再现能力. 结果表明: 大部分模式可以再现全球平均地表气温序列的LTM特征, 其中AWI-ESM-1-1-LR和E3SM-1-0的模拟效果最好; 60个模式均能模拟LTM随纬度带的变化; 综合来说, 全球水平上CNRM-CM6-1和HadGEM3-GC31-LL对地表气温LTM的模拟性能最好; 多模式平均相比单一模式模拟性能更好; 多模式平均与观测结果的偏差以及模式之间的模拟差异显著体现在赤道和沿海区域, 这种偏差可能源于模式对海气耦合过程的模拟差异.

同位素双稀释剂技术的数值模拟与应用

近年来,非传统稳定同位素地球化学已成为新兴发展的研究领域,同位素双稀释剂技术是该领域的主流分析方法之一,但始终存在的困扰问题是如何进行同位素双稀释剂间以及稀释剂与样品间的最优混合。这两种混合比严重制约着同位素比值测试的准确度、精度和重现性。本文从同位素双稀释剂技术的数学原理出发,以Cr、Mo同位素为例,结合MonteCarlo误差模型,深入讨论和分析了两单稀释剂间比值(λ)及双稀释剂与自然样品间比值(p)的最优化数值模拟,得到了以双稀释剂~50(Cr)-~54(Cr)、~97(Mo)-~(100)Mo为例的λ、p值的最优取值范围。该数值模拟可适用于所有能够利用同位素双稀释剂技术的元素。在此基础上,就数值模拟结果如何应用于同位素双稀释剂的选择和组成标定也给予了详细说明,这为我国开展和使用同位素双稀释剂技术提供了基本思路和需要注意的关键问题,有助于推动同位素双稀释剂技术在我国地学界的广泛应用和发展。     

Marine Isotope Stage 7–6 transition age for beach sediments at Morston,north Norfolk,UK: implications for Pleistocene chronology,stratigraphy and tectonics

Optically stimulated luminescence age estimates for the Pleistocene beach at Morston, north Norfolk, UK, obtained by the single‐aliquot regenerative‐dose protocol, indicate a Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 7–6 transition date. The view that the beach is of Ipswichian (MIS 5e) age, held virtually unanimously for the last 75 years, may now be discarded. The extant beach sequence lies up to ～5 m OD, yet global models suggest that MIS 7–6 sea levels were typically substantially below that of today. The explanation may lie with poorly understood regional tectonic movements. The MIS 7–6 date helps to constrain the ages of glacial deposits that bracket the beach sediments at Morston. The underlying Marly Drift till cannot be younger than MIS 8; this may also be true for the complex assemblage of glaciogenic landforms and sediments, including the Blakeney esker, in the adjacent lower Glaven valley. The well‐established Late Devensian (MIS 2) age of the Hunstanton Till is not compromised by the date of the Morston beach. There is no indication of a proposed Briton's Lane glaciation during MIS 6 times. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
