We used time-series sediment trap data for four major components, organic matter and ballast minerals (CaCO3, opal, and lithogenic matter) from 150, 540, and 1000 m in the western subarctic Pacific (WSAP), where opal is the predominant
mineral in sinking particles, to develop four simple models for settling particles, including the “ballast model”. The ballast
model is based on the concept that most of the organic matter “rain” in the deep sea is carried by the minerals. These four
models are designed to simultaneously reproduce the flux of each major component of settling particles at 540 and 1000 m by
using the data for each component at 150 m as initial values. Among the four models, the ballast model, which considers the
sinking velocity increase with depth, was identified as the best using the Akaike information criterion as a measure of the
model fit to data. This model successfully reproduced the flux of organic matter at 540 and 1000 m, indicating that the ballast
model concept works well in the shallow zone of the WSAP on a seasonal timescale. This also suggests that ballast minerals
not only physically protect the organic matter from degradation during the settling process but also enhance the sinking velocity
and reduce the degree of decomposition. 相似文献

Sedimentary inorganic nitrogen and its isotope ratio in the western subarctic Pacific over the last 145 kyr 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have measured inorganic nitrogen (IN) content and the isotope ratio of IN (δ15NIN) in a sediment core covering the last 145 kyr in the western subarctic Pacific (WSAP). IN content was generally high during
glacial periods and shows positive correlations with both eolian dust content and the ratio of organic carbon (C) to organic
nitrogen (ON) (C/ON) found in our previous studies. This means that IN was transported from continental areas to the WSAP
together with eolian dust and that the IN was not contaminated by volcanic materials, because the eolian dust content was
reconstructed using metal components to remove contaminating volcanic materials. Therefore, IN content in the WSAP sediments,
the clay fraction of which is not greatly affected by drift deposits seen at the other sites in this region, may potentially
be an effective proxy for eolian dust, without the need to consider contamination by volcanic materials. δ15NIN was generally low during glacial periods and shows negative correlations with IN, eolian dust, and C/ON. The possible causes
of the observed variations in δ15NIN are as follows: (1) authigenic fixation of NH4
+ in water-column and pore water of sea-floor sediments to clay minerals; (2) contamination of measured IN by highly resistant
organic matter; or (3) variations in the continental source region of the eolian dust supplied to the WSAP and climatically
induced changes in δ15N of soil organic matter there. The last mechanism shows the potential for δ15NIN to be used as a proxy for climate change on land, and is consistent with other published explanations of the spatial distribution
of δ15NIN in modern sea-floor sediments. 相似文献

To estimate benthic denitrification in a marginal sea, we assessed the usefulness of \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) , a new tracer to measure the excess nitrogen gas (N2) using dissolved N2 and argon (Ar) with N* in the intermediate layer (26.6–27.4σ θ ) of the Okhotsk Sea. The examined parameters capable of affecting \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) are denitrification, air injection and rapid cooling. We investigated the relative proportions of these effects on \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) using multiple linear regression analysis. The best model included two examined parameters of denitrification and air injection based on the Akaike information criterion as a measure of the model fit to data. More than 80 % of \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) was derived from the denitrification, followed by air injection. Denitrification over the Okhotsk Sea shelf region was estimated to be 5.6 ± 2.4 μmol kg?1. The distribution of \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) was correlated with potential temperature (θ) between 26.6 and 27.4σ θ (r = ?0.55). Therefore, we concluded that \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) and N* can act complementarily as a quasi-conservative tracer of benthic denitrification in the Okhotsk Sea. Our findings suggest that \({\text{N}}_{2}^{*}\) in combination with N* is a useful chemical tracer to estimate benthic denitrification in a marginal sea. 相似文献

Abstract A water injection experiment was carried out by the scientific drilling program named the 'Nojima Fault Zone Probe' during the two periods 9–13 February and 16–25 March 1997. The pumping pressure at the surface was approximately 4 MPa. The total amount of injected water was 258 m3 . The injection was made between depths of 1480 m and 1670 m in the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University (DPRI) 1800 m borehole drilled into the Nojima Fault zone. A seismic observation network was deployed to monitor seismic activity related to the water injections. Seismicity suddenly increased in the region not far from the injection hole 4 or 5 days after the beginning of each water injection. These earthquakes were likely to be induced by the water injections. Most of the earthquakes had magnitudes ranging from −2 to +1. Numerous earthquakes occurred during the first injection, but only one could be reliably located and it was approximately 2 km north of the injection site. Between the two injection periods, earthquakes concentrated in the region approximately 1 km northwest of the injection site. During and after the second injection experiment, earthquakes were located approximately 1.5 km west of the injection site. Those earthquakes were located approximately 3 km or 4 km from the injection point and between 2 km and 4 km in depth. Values of intrinsic permeability of 10−14 –10−15 m2 were estimated from the time lapse of the induced seismic activity. The coefficient of friction in the area where the induced earthquakes occurred was estimated to be less than 0.3. 相似文献

The present study investigated the effects of water seeped in a filter paper on the variations of chlorophylla measurement. As little as 184 l water retained in a 25 mm diameter GF/F filter paper after filtration resulted in the settlement of 60% chlorophylla at the bottom 20% of the extractant (90% acetone) in the extraction tube. More than one order difference in concentration of chlorophylla was found between the uppermost 20% and the bottom 20% of the extractant. Chlorophylla is trapped at the bottom by a pycnocline created by the water seeped into the filter paper and by chlorophylla itself, which is heavier than the extractant. Once the extractant was well mixed, good reproducibility of measurement was obtained. White precipitation occurred during the mixing of seawater sample and the extractant and was not found to affect the measurement of chlorophylla. The dilution of the extractant by the seawater seeped in the filter paper during extraction probably did not affect the extraction efficiency. 相似文献

We have investigated Pb concentrations and isotopic compositions in settling particles collected by sediment traps experiments
over a period of two years, from May 2005 to April 2007, at two depths, 770 and 5100 m, at station KNOT in the Northwestern
Pacific Ocean (44°N, 155°E). To the identify provenances of Pb, the samples were separated into two fractions by chemical
leaching techniques, with the leachate expected to contain Pb of anthropogenic origin. Isotopic compositions of Pb and concentrations
of Pb, Sc, Mn, La, Yb, and Th were measured by quadrupole ICP-MS. The isotope ratios of leachable Pb in settling particles
were 207Pb/206Pb = 0.860 ± 0.001; 208Pb/206Pb = 2.116 ± 0.002 (mean ± 95% confidence intervals), which are similar to those of aerosols in China that are greatly affected
by pollution from coal combustion. We estimated the mean contribution from anthropogenic Pb sources to the Pb in settling
particles, using the conventional binary (anthropogenic and natural Pb) mixing equation for Pb isotopes, as 90% in the upper
trap and 78% in the lower trap. Furthermore, we found a significant negative correlation between the isotope ratios of Pb
and concentrations of leachable Mn, normalized to those of leachable Pb, suggesting that manganese oxides play an important
role in transporting Pb from the upper layers of the ocean to the deeper layers. Our results support the speculation published
in a previous study that Pb might be scavenged by Mn oxides in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. 相似文献

A sediment core covering the last 145 kyrs was collected in the western subarctic Pacific (WSAP), and analyzed for Ba, U, Al, Sc, La, Yb, Th, biogenic opal (Opal) and organic carbon (Corg) as well as its isotopic ratio (δ13C). This study examined the change of past biological production in WSAP with multiple proxies, together with understanding the relation between Loess from the Asian continent and the biological production. The Loess content was estimated from the metal components, Al, Sc, La, Yb and Th. In this high latitude core (50°N), the Loess content was generally high during the glacial periods, but it was also high even in some interglacial periods. The excess amount of Ba relative to the detrital material composition, Baex, showed the best correlation with the Vostok δD (r = 0.72, p < 0.001), indicating that the biological production was lower in the glacial periods than in the interglacials. This corroborates the pervasive correlation between Baex in the polar region, WSAP and the Antarctic Sea, and Antarctic temperature, combined with previous research. This correlation might be explained by the stratification caused by cooling. In addition, the time variations of Baex in WSAP were similar to those of Baex in the Okhotsk Sea and of other proxies (Corg and Opal) in both the Okhotsk and the Bering Sea, indicating the spatial homogeneity of Baex in WSAP including proximal marginal seas. The Opal content was more weakly correlated with the Vostok δD (r = 0.46, p < 0.001) than Baex, reflecting that Opal in WSAP including proximal marginal seas was spatially heterogeneous compared to Baex. While both the Corg content and Uex, the excess amount of U relative to the detritus composition, were not positively correlated with the Vostok δD, they behaved similarly in the sediments. The positive correlation between δ13C and the Vostok δD (r = 0.42, p < 0.001), between δ13C and Baex (r = 0.60, p < 0.001) and between δ13C and Opal (r = 0.36, p < 0.01) indicates that δ13C in WSAP may give some information on the phytoplankton growth rate. There was not a significant correlation between the spatially homogeneous Baex in WSAP and Loess (r = − 0.16, p > 0.01), suggesting that the increase of biological production with the increase of Loess supply during the glacial periods did not occur. 相似文献
