In this paper, for a(2+1)-dimensional generalized variable-coefficient Hirota-Satsuma-Ito system describing the fluid dynamics of shallow-water waves in an open ocean, non-characteristic movable singular manifold and symbolic computation enable an oceanic auto-B?cklund transformation with three sets of the oceanic solitonic solutions. The results rely on the oceanic variable coefficients in that system. Future oceanic observations might detect some nonlinear features predicted in this paper, and relevant oceanographic insights might be expected.展开更多

The effect of the wave- induced mixing within the mixed layer was eliminated via a bulk mixed layer model. The results show that the wave-induced mixing can penetrate through the mixed layer and into the oceanic interior. The wave- induced mixing under the mixed layer has an important effect on the distribution of temperature of the upper ocean at middle and high latitudes in summer, especially the structure of the seasonal thermocline. Moreover, the wave-induced mixing can affect the oceanic circulation, such as western boundary currents and the North Equatorial Currents through changes of sea surface height associated with the variation of the thermal structure of the upper ocean.展开更多

The simulated results agree well with the results of other modesl and observations. The distribution of Stream Function suggests that the main circulation systems in the wodd ocean have been represented, including oceanic currents strengthened in the oceanic western. Be close to the observed results, the net mass transport of the Kuroshio axes is estimated about 54Sv; The distribution of the horizontal circulation in each layer shows that the main circulation systems in the world ocean are well simulated, for example, the Kuroshio and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current can go down to the bottom layer, but the Gulf Stream cannot, and its direction reverses at the depths of 1000 to 2 000 m.展开更多

Forced by wind stresses from Hellerman and Rosenstain (1983), a 40-yr integration is conducted with sea surface temperature and salinity being restored to the Levitus 94 datasets. The evaluation of the annual mean climatology of the LICOM control run shows that the large-scale circulation can be well reproduced. A comparison between the LICOM control run and a parallel integration of L30T63, which has the same framework but a coarse resolution, is also made to con?rm the impact of resolution on the model performance. On account of the reduction of horizontal viscosity with the enhancement of the horizontal resolution, LICOM improves the simulation with respect to not only the intensity of the large scale circulations, but also the magnitude and structure of the Equatorial Undercurrent and South Equatorial Current. Taking advantage of the ?ne grid size, the pathway of the Indonesian Through?ow (ITF) is better represented in LICOM than in L30T63. The transport of ITF in LICOM is more convergent in the upper layer. As a consequence, the Indian Ocean tends to get warmer in LICOM. The poleward heat transports for both the global and individual basins are also signi?cantly improved in LICOM. A decomposed analysis indicates that the transport due to the barotropic gyre, which primarily stands for the barotropic e?ect of the western boundary currents, plays a crucial role in making the di?erence.展开更多

文摘High-Mg andesite/diorite(HMA)is useful for identifying subduction-related processes in orogenic belts,including the identification of ophiolites formed in suprasubduction zone(SSZ)environments.The E'rentaolegai high-Mg diorite from the Diyanmiao ophiolite in central Inner Mongolia,North China,has been investigated revealing low-K tholeiitic-calc-alkaline characteristics and have SiO_(2)contents of 53.44-54.92 wt%,MgO contents of 8.44-9.54 wt%,and Mg~#of 54.35-57.60,with variable Fe_(2)O_(3)(7.51-8.61 wt%),Al_(2)O_(3)(11.95-15.09 wt%),and Na_(2)O(3.42-3.94 wt%)contents,low K_(2)O(0.34-0.97 wt%),TiO_(2)(0.35-0.67 wt%),and P2O5(0.12-0.15 wt%)contents,and high Ni(43-193 ppm)and Cr(189-556 ppm)contents.Samples collected have low total rare earth element(REE)contents(30.58-77.80 ppm),with flat or slightly right-dipping REE patterns(La_(N)/Yb_(N)=2.19-3.11)and a lack of pronounced Eu anomalies.The samples are also enriched in large-ion lithophile elements(LILEs,e.g.,K,Rb,Ba,U,and Sr)and depleted in high field strength elements(e.g.,Ta,Nb,Ti,and P).The E'rentaolegai high-Mg diorite has characteristics typical of HMA,and are similar to those of sanukites from the Setouchi Arc in SW Japan.They also display high positiveε_(Nd)(t)values(+6.32 to+7.80),comparable to the values of their host rocks.Petrogenetic analyses suggest that the E'rentaolegai HMA was probably formed by the interaction of partial melts and aqueous fluids from subducted sediments with mantle peridotite.Zircon U-Pb dating reveals that the high-Mg diorite crystallized at 313.6±2.4 Ma,i.e.,late Carboniferous.Combining our data with the temporal and spatial distribution of the Diyanmiao SSZ-type ophiolite,we propose that the eastern Paleo-Asian Ocean had not closed by the late Carboniferous,but intra-oceanic subduction was ongoing.A new model of the initiation of subduction in the eastern PAO during the late Paleozoic.

文摘The oceanic mixed layer in the Southern Ocean is characterized by numerous fronts due to the stirring of freshwater influxes arising from ice melting.The interaction of these fronts with winds modulates the evolution of the mixed layer and affects atmosphere−ocean energy exchanges.However,the underlying mechanism behind the wind-front interaction remains obscure due to a lack of three-dimensional observations of the ocean,particularly in terms of velocities.To address this issue,this study investigates the dynamics of fronts within the mixed layer during a storm by employing a subset of the global submesoscale-permitting simulation,Northeast Weddell Sea Pre-SWOT Level-4 Hourly MITgcm LLC4320 Native Grid 2km Oceanographic Dataset(ROAM_MIZ).We first compare the ROAM_MIZ data to glider data to assess the performance of the model simulation and find that the ROAM_MIZ can,to a large degree,capture sub-mesoscale features within a mixed layer.Subsequent analyses based on a subset of ROAM_MIZ show that lateral density gradients within the mixed layer rapidly decrease during high winds associated with the storm.Down-front winds accelerate this process as the Ekman buoyancy transport responsible for enhancing the instability of the fronts is primarily dominated by horizontal baroclinic components.After the storm,the fronts strengthen again in the presence of weaker winds due to the frontogenesis by the larger-scale strain.Moreover,the non-geostrophic turbulence induces a modification of the relative vorticity,affecting the instability within the mixed layer.These findings offer valuable guidance for the deployment of observational instruments and subsequent analysis,as well as deepen the understanding of air−sea interactions in the Southern Ocean.

文摘Recently, during the investigations on planetary oceans, Hirota-Satsuma-Ito-type models have been developed. In this paper, for a(2+1)-dimensional generalized variable-coefficient Hirota-Satsuma-Ito system describing the fluid dynamics of shallow-water waves in an open ocean, non-characteristic movable singular manifold and symbolic computation enable an oceanic auto-B?cklund transformation with three sets of the oceanic solitonic solutions. The results rely on the oceanic variable coefficients in that system. Future oceanic observations might detect some nonlinear features predicted in this paper, and relevant oceanographic insights might be expected.

文摘Mid-ocean ridge and oceanic transforms are among the most prominent features on the seafloor surface and are crucial for understanding seafloor spreading and plate tectonic dynamics,but the deep structure of the oceanic lithosphere remains poorly understood.The large number of microearthquakes occurring along ridges and transforms provide valuable information for gaining an indepth view of the underlying detailed seismic structures,contributing to understanding geodynamic processes within the oceanic lithosphere.Previous studies have indicated that the maximum depth of microseismicity is controlled by the 600-℃isotherm.However,this perspective is being challenged due to increasing observations of deep earthquakes that far exceed this suggested isotherm along mid-ocean ridges and oceanic transform faults.Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain these deep events,and we suggest that local geodynamic processes(e.g.,magma supply,mylonite shear zone,longlived faults,hydrothermal vents,etc.)likely play a more important role than previously thought.

文摘Identification and anatomy of oceanic arcs within ancient orogenic belt are significant for better understanding the tectonic framework and closure process of paleo-ocean basin.This article summarizes the geological,geochemical,and geochronological characteristics of upper crust of Proto-Tethyan Lajishan intra-oceanic arc and provides new data to constrain the subduction evolution of the South Qilian Ocean.The intra-oceanic arc volcanic rocks,including intermediate-mafic lava,breccia,tuff,and minor felsic rocks,are distributed along southern part of the Lajishan ophiolite belt.Geochemical and isotopic compositions indicate that the intermediate-mafic lava were originated from depleted mantle contaminated by sediment melts or hydrous fluids,whereas the felsic rocks were likely generated by partial melting of juvenile mafic crust in intra-oceanic arc setting.Zircons from felsic rocks yield consistent and concordant ages ranging from 506 to 523 Ma,suggesting these volcanic rocks represent the relicts of upper crust of the Cambrian intra-oceanic arc.Combined with the Cambrian forearc ophiolite and accretionary complex,we suggest that the Cambrian intra-oceanic arc in the Lajishan ophiolite belt is belonging to the intra-oceanic arc system which was generated by south-directed subduction in the South Qilian Ocean at a relatively short interval between approximately 530 and 480 Ma.

文摘Oceanic plateau accretion and subsequent flat-slab subduction in modern convergent settings have profoundly influenced the nature of subduction and mantle dynamics.However,evaluating similar impacts in ancient convergent settings,where oceanic plateaus have been subducted but geological records are limited,remains challenging.In this study,we present geochronological and geochemical data for a suite of ore-associated plutonic rocks from the Gaobaoyue area of northern Xizang.These rocks have zircon U-Pb ages of 152-146 Ma,with high Sr contents and Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios,low MgO,Yb,and Y contents,and depleted Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions,consistent with an adakitic affinity that was generated by the partial melting of subducting oceanic crust.We compare the Late Jurassic adakitic magmatism with the spatiotemporal evolution of magmatism in northern Xizang to infer oceanic plateau subduction and subsequent flat-slab subduction in the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean.This tectonic model explains(ⅰ)slab-derived adakitic magmatism,(ⅱ)the observed lull in magmatic activity,(ⅲ)intraplate compression and uplift,and(ⅳ)subduction jump and initiation.We also propose that the subduction of heterogeneous oceanic crust(i.e.,buoyant oceanic plateau subduction)provided favorable conditions for tectonic exhumation,vertical slab tearing,and the formation of Cu-Au deposits.Our findings not only have implications for establishing the fundamental process of oceanic plateau accretion in ancient subduction zones but also provide an alternative explanation for Late Jurassic complex tectonomagmatic activity in northern Xizang.

文摘In 2018 and 2021,the Drift-Towing Ocean Profilers(DTOP)provided extensive temperature and salinity data on the upper 120m ocean through their drifts over the Alpha Ridge north of the Canada Basin.The thickness and temperature maximum of Alaska Coastal Water(ACW)ranged from 20m to 40m and-1.5℃to-0.8℃,respectively,and the salinity generally maintained from 30.2 to 32.5.Comparison with World Ocean Atlas 2018’s climatology manifested a 40m-thick and warm ACW roughly ex-ceeding the temperature maximum by 0.4–0.5℃in June–August 2021.This anomalously warm ACW was highly related to the ex-pansion of the Beaufort Gyre in the negative Arctic Oscillation phase.During summer,the under-ice oceanic heat flux F_(w)^(OHF)was elevated,with a maximum value of above 25Wm^(-2).F_(w)^(OHF)was typically low in the freezing season,with an average value of 1.2Wm^(-2).The estimates of upward heat flux contributed by ACW to the sea ice bottom F_(w)^(OHF)were in the range of 3–4Wm^(-2)in June–August 2021,when ACW contained a heat content of more than 80MJm^(-2).The heat loss over this period was driven by a weak stratification upon the ACW layer associated with a surface mixed layer(SML)approaching the ACW core.After autumn,F_(w)^(OHF)was reduced(<2 Wm^(-2))except during rare events when it elevated F_(w)^(OHF)slightly.In addition,the intensive and widespread Ekman suction,which created a violent upwelling north of the Canada Basin,was largely responsible for the substantial cooling and thinning of the ACW layer in the summer of 2021.

文摘The influence of the nonbreaking surface wave-induced mixing under the mixed layer on the oceanic cir- culation was investigated using an isopycnal-coordinate oceanic circulation model. The effect of the wave- induced mixing within the mixed layer was eliminated via a bulk mixed layer model. The results show that the wave-induced mixing can penetrate through the mixed layer and into the oceanic interior. The wave- induced mixing under the mixed layer has an important effect on the distribution of temperature of the upper ocean at middle and high latitudes in summer, especially the structure of the seasonal thermocline. Moreover, the wave-induced mixing can affect the oceanic circulation, such as western boundary currents and the North Equatorial Currents through changes of sea surface height associated with the variation of the thermal structure of the upper ocean.

文摘A 2-dimensional global free surface diagnostic model, combined with dynamic calculation, is used to investigate the world ocean circulation; the model has a horizontal resolution of 1/4°×1/4°. The simulated results agree well with the results of other modesl and observations. The distribution of Stream Function suggests that the main circulation systems in the wodd ocean have been represented, including oceanic currents strengthened in the oceanic western. Be close to the observed results, the net mass transport of the Kuroshio axes is estimated about 54Sv; The distribution of the horizontal circulation in each layer shows that the main circulation systems in the world ocean are well simulated, for example, the Kuroshio and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current can go down to the bottom layer, but the Gulf Stream cannot, and its direction reverses at the depths of 1000 to 2 000 m.

文摘Systematical analyses of data from GEOROC and PetDB database show that large amount of Cenozoic andesites occurred in the various oceanic environments such as mid-oceanic ridge,plumerelated island and oceanic arc.In this study,we employed the geochemical data of 351 mid-ocean ridge andesites(MORA),2539 plume-related andesites(PRA)and 3488 oceanic arc andesites(OAA)from the database to discuss the relationship between andesite tectonic settings and their geochemical features,thereby making an attempt to construct tectonic discrimination diagrams.Based on the data-driven pattern,all available elements were employed to derive logratios for the possible coordinates,and the overlap-rate calculation was adopted to evaluate the discrimination effect of more than 330000 prospective diagrams.Finally,four tectonic discrimination diagrams have been successfully established to identify MORA,PRA and OAA,which can be utilized to identify the original settings of andesite with an age range from Cenozoic to Archean a certain extent.Of these diagrams,PRA is mainly distinguished by high LREE/HREE ratio due to enriched mantle source.Whereas,OAA is mainly characterized by high LILE/HFSE ratio,which reveals that fluids derived from subducted slab play an important role in forming oceanic arc andesites.Consequently,the petrogenesis of andesites is closely related to their tectonic settings.However,it should be noted that those andesites formed in both continental and oceanic environments cannot be effectively distinguished using these diagrams.We strongly recommend integrating the discrimination diagrams result with other geological information to reach a comprehensive interpretation of evolution history with those ancient andesites.This paper presents a case study which suggests that data-driven method is a powerful tool for solving geological problems in this’big data’era.

文摘The Late Jurassic Monviso ophiolite in the Western Alps is a multiply deformed,eclogite-facies metaophiolite that represents a remnant of the Alpine Tethyan oceanic lithosphere.The recent recognition of a pre-Alpine detachment fault in the Lower Tectonic Unit of this ophiolite has led to the discovery of an oceanic core complex,which developed during the initial stages of the tectonic evolution of the Alpine Tethys.The NNWstriking,20–25-km-long shear zone(Baracun Shear Zone)contains ductilely to cataclastically deformed blocks and clasts of Fe-Ti and Mg-Al metagabbros in a matrix made of mylonitic serpentinite and talc-chlorite schist with high Ni–Cr concentrations and high Cl contents.Intensely sheared ophicarbonate rocks and brecciated serpentinite within this shear zone are deformed by the Alpine-phase S1 foliation and D2 folds,providing a critical age constraint for the timing of its formation.Metabasaltic–metasedimentary rocks in the hanging wall increase in thickness away from the shear zone,characteristic of syn-extensional rock sequences in supradetachment basins.

文摘Introduction.The study of catastrophic events that affected past marine ecosystems provides us the unique opportunity to establish models which can be applied to ongoing environmental changes and to understand future evolution of the biotas.The growing interest of the society for the ongoing and potential future environmental changes attests for the value represented by the analysis of past climatic changes.In the case of the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event(T-OAE,Early Jurassic;~182 Ma),a dramatic change of marine ecosystems related to massive extinction has been documented in several areas around the world.The Pliensbachian–Toarcian transition and the T-OAE are two global episodes recording worldwide palaeoenvironmental perturbations(Jenkyns,1988;Jenkyns and Clayton,1997;Hesselbo et al.,2007).The end of the Pliensbachian regression is followed by a transgression occurring in the Early Toarcian(Haq et al.,1987;de Graciansky et al.,1999).This transgression was also coeval with a widespread deposition of black shales(Jenkyns,1988),a global warming(Garcia Joral et al.,2011;Korte and Hesselbo,2011;Suan et al.,2011),and perturbations of the carbon cycle indicated by a negative carbon isotopic excursion(CIE)documented in both marine and terrestrial material(Jenkyns and Clayton,1986;Schouten et al.,2000;Hesselbo et al.,2007;Al-Suwaidi et al.,2010;Caruthers et al.,2011;Izumi et al.,2012;Reolid,2014).

文摘An eddy-permitting, quasi-global oceanic general circulation model, LICOM (LASG/IAP (State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Institute of Atmospheric Physics) Climate System Ocean Model), with a uniform grid of 0.5? × 0.5? is established. Forced by wind stresses from Hellerman and Rosenstain (1983), a 40-yr integration is conducted with sea surface temperature and salinity being restored to the Levitus 94 datasets. The evaluation of the annual mean climatology of the LICOM control run shows that the large-scale circulation can be well reproduced. A comparison between the LICOM control run and a parallel integration of L30T63, which has the same framework but a coarse resolution, is also made to con?rm the impact of resolution on the model performance. On account of the reduction of horizontal viscosity with the enhancement of the horizontal resolution, LICOM improves the simulation with respect to not only the intensity of the large scale circulations, but also the magnitude and structure of the Equatorial Undercurrent and South Equatorial Current. Taking advantage of the ?ne grid size, the pathway of the Indonesian Through?ow (ITF) is better represented in LICOM than in L30T63. The transport of ITF in LICOM is more convergent in the upper layer. As a consequence, the Indian Ocean tends to get warmer in LICOM. The poleward heat transports for both the global and individual basins are also signi?cantly improved in LICOM. A decomposed analysis indicates that the transport due to the barotropic gyre, which primarily stands for the barotropic e?ect of the western boundary currents, plays a crucial role in making the di?erence.
