Flow reactor and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer investigations of negative ion reactions involving nitric acid: Implications for atmospheric HNO3 detection by chemical ionization mass spectrometry

Atmospheric nitric acid measurements by ACIMS (Active Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry) are based on ion-molecule reactions of CO₃ ^-(H₂O) _n and NO₃ ^-(H₂O) _n with HNO₃. We have studied these reactions in the laboratory using a flow tube apparatus with mass spectrometric detection of reactant and product ions. Both product ion distributions and rate coefficients were measured. All reactions were investigated in an N₂-buffer (1–3 hPa) at room temperature. The reaction rate coefficients of OH^-, O₂ ^-, O₃ ^-, CO₄ ^-, CO₃ ^-, CO₃ ^-H₂O, NO₃ ^-, and NO₃ ^-H₂O were measured relative to the known rate k=3.0×10^-9 cm³ s^-1 for the reaction of O^- with HNO₃. The main product ion of the reaction of CO₃ ^-H₂O with HNO₃ was found to be (CO₃HNO₃)^- supporting a previous suggestion made on the basis of balloon-borne ACIMS measurements. For the reaction of bare CO₃ ^- with HNO₃ three product ions were observed, namely NO₃ ^-, (NO₃OH)^-, and (CO₃HNO₃)^-. The reaction rate coefficients for CO₃ ^-H₂O (1.7×10^-9 cm³ s^-1) and NO₃ ^-H₂O (1.6×10^-9 cm³ s^-1) were found to be close to the collision rate. The measured k values for bare CO₃ ^- (1.3×10^-9 cm³ s^-1) and NO₃ ^- (0.7×10^-9 cm³ s^-1) are somewhat smaller. The collisional dissociations of CO₃ ^-(H₂O) _n , NO₃ ^-(H₂O) _n (n=1, 2), (CO₃HNO₃)^- and (NO₃HNO₃)^-, occasionally influencing ACIMS measurements, were also studied. Fragment ion distributions were measured using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The results showed that previous stratospheric nitric acid measurements were unimpaired from collisional dissociation processes whereas these processes played a major role during previous tropospheric measurements leading to an underestimation of nitric acid concentrations. Previous ACIMS HNO₃ detection was also affected by the conversion of CO₃ ^-(H₂O) _n to NO₃ ^-(H₂O) _n due to ion source-produced neutral radicals. A novel ACIMS ion source was developed in order to avoid these problems and to improve the ACIMS method.     

Seismotectonics at the Trench-Trench-Trench triple junction off central Honshu

We study earthquakes in and near the TTT type triple junction off Boso peninsula, central Honshu, to elucidate the plate interaction in this area. The Pacific, North America (northeast Japan) and Philippine Sea plates meet at the junction of the Japan and Izu-Bonin Trenches, and the Sagami Trough. We determine focal mechanisms using WWSSN data. We also determine accurate focal depths by modeling body-waves. There is no serious trade-off between focal depth and source time function for the events treated in this study.The earthquake mechanisms and their focal depths show two major modes of deformation of the Pacific slab at the junction. One mode is represented by nearly vertical normal faults with strikes perpendicular to the Bonin Trench. This mode of faulting is dominant in regions south of the junction and characteristically the southwest block is downthrown. The other mode is represented by nearly vertical normal faults that strike parallel to the Japan Trench and indicate the northwest block is downthrown. This latter mode is dominant in regions north of the junction. The former mode may represent the accommodation of the slab geometry to the change in dip angle between the northeast Japan and Izu-Bonin arcs; the Izu-Bonin slab has a larger dip than that of the northeast Japan slab. The latter mode shows that normal faults parallel to the trench strike, usually seen in trench axis-outer rise regions, continue to occur further landward of the trench axis in the area just north of the junction. This might be caused by the loading of the Philippine Sea slab which penetrates between northeast Japan and the Pacific slab north of the Sagami Trough.Further north of these normal faults north of the junction, we find earthquakes which represent the relative motion between the Pacific and North American plates. This means that the Philippine Sea slab does not exist there. With the aid of earthquakes which represent the Philippine Sea-Pacific and Philippine Sea-North America motions located northwest of the normal faults, we can depict a possible area where the Philippine Sea slab exists north of the Sagami Trough.

Japan Trench and tectonics of the Japanese Island Arcs

Abstract Seven chronostratigraphic stages were established based on the correlation of magneto‐biostratigraphic marker horizons within the Deep Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program cores from the forearc of the Japan Trench. Because the stages are coeval with changes in the rate of sedimentation, lithofacies, magnetic intensity and composition of fossil assemblages, they probably reflect the tectonic situation in the Japan Trench forearc and also in the arc–trench system. The stages correlate to the tectonic events of the Japanese Island Arcs; for example, evolution of the Boso triple junction, initiation of Philippine Sea Plate subduction and the Japan Sea opening.
