Verdunstungsstudien
(1930)
Mit Hilfe von Apparaten wird es wohl niemals gelingen, die tatsachliche Verdunstung bestimmter Landflächen zu bestimmen, so wichtig eine derartige Ermittlung im Hinblick auf Klimaforschung, Wasserhaushalt der Erde und dergleichen sein mag. Es wurde daher schon aud die verschiedensten Arten versucht, wenigstens ein relatives Maß der Verdunstung - die sogenannte Verdunstungskraft zu bestimmen. Freie Wasserflächen für eine derartige Untersuchung zu verwenden, wäre das Einfachste ; jedoch sind hierbei die Möglichkeiten einer Störung besonders groß infolge von Einflüssen, die die gemessene Verdunstungskraft verändern, und so Fälschungen der Messungen verursachen. Es seien hier nur die Störiingon durch Regen, den Rand der Schale, Verunreinigungen der Oberflache und durch Wellenbildung erwähnt. Darum scheint es vorteilhafter, wie bereits Babinetl 1848 vorschlug, für derartige Messungen statt der freien Wasserfläche einen porösen Tonkörper zu verwenden. Mitscherlich und Livingstone begannen dann ziemlich gleichzeitig 1904 mit derartigen Tonkörpern zu arbeiten, und Livingstone trat bald mit seinen vor allem für die Botanik wichtigen Ergebnissen hervor. Aufgabe des Meteorologen ist, eine Methode zu schaffen, die eine stets wiederholbare Messung ermöglicht; jedoch muß man sich dessen befaßt sein, daß solche Messungen keinesfalls die Verdunstungswerte der Erdoberfläche mit oder ohne Vegetation oder die Wasserabgabe des Menschen angeben. Das Verhältnis dieser, der "natürlichen" Verdunstungswerte, zu dem durch jene im folgenden erörterte - Methode gefundenen "physikalischen" Werte bedarf noch der Ermittlung. Über die Sondergebiete der Verdunstung liegen bereits zahlreiche Arbeiten vor. In dieser Arbeit wird zuerst die verwendete Apparatur und die Meßanordnung besprochen, dann der Einfluß des Windes, der Temperatur und des äußeren Dampfdruckes auf die Verdunstung untersucht. Darauf wird die durch die Verdunstung selbst erzeugte Ventilation, die "Grundventilation" behandelt. Es schließt sich die Ermittliing des Strahlungseinflusses und die Eignung des Apparates zu Strahlungsmessungen an, und zum Schluß werden Vergleichsmessungen mit anderen Apparaten angeführt.
Ein Finite-Volumen-Modell des differentiell geheizten rotierenden Annulus wird verwendet, um die spontane Schwerewellenabstrahlung durch die großskalige, von baroklinen Wellen beherrschte Strömung zu untersuchen. Bei diesem Vorgang bilden barokline Wellen und der durch sie abgelenkte und verzerrte Strahlstrom, die sich näherungsweise im hydrostatischen und geostrophischen Gleichgewicht befinden, durch ihre Dynamik Ungleichgewichte aus, die sich als Schwerewellen ausbreiten. Neben der Anregung von Schwerewellen durch Prozesse wie Gebirgsüberströmung, Konvektion und Frontogenese, bildet dieser Vorgang vermutlich eine weitere wichtige Quelle von Schwerewellen in der Atmosphäre. Anders als für orographisch und konvektiv angeregte Schwerewellen gibt es für die spontane Schwerewellenabstrahlung bislang keine befriedigende Parametrisierung in Wettervorhersage- und Klimamodellen, die diesen Prozess nicht auflösen können. Die Durchführung von Messungen zur spontanen Schwerewellenabstrahlung in der Atmosphäre ist üblicherweise sehr aufwendig, sodass die Untersuchung dieses Vorganges in einem wiederholbaren und steuerbaren Laborexperiment reizvoll erscheint. Ob dafür möglicherweise das Experiment des differentiell geheizten rotierenden Annulus infrage kommt, untersuchen wir mit einem eigens dafür entwickelten numerischen Modell, dessen Tauglichkeit wir zunächst im Rahmen einer Validierung durch den Vergleich mit Labormessungen überprüfen. Damit die Ergebnisse zur Schwerewellendynamik im Annulus auf die Atmosphäre übertragbar sind, verwenden wir eine neue, atmosphärenähnliche Annuluskonfiguration. Im Gegensatz zu den klassischen Annuluskonfigurationen ist in der neuen Konfiguration die Brunt-Väisälä-Frequenz größer als der Coriolis-Parameter, sodass die Schwerewellen ein ähnliches Ausbreitungsverhalten zeigen sollten wie in der Atmosphäre. Deutliche Hinweise auf eine Schwerewellenaktivität in der atmosphärenähnlichen Konfiguration geben die horizontale Geschwindigkeitsdivergenz und eine Normalmodenzerlegung der kleinräumigen Strukturen der simulierten Strömung. Um der Herkunft der beobachteten Schwerewellen auf den Grund zu gehen, zerlegen wir die Strömung in den schwerewellenfreien quasigeostrophischen Anteil und den schwerewellenenthaltenden ageostrophischen Anteil. Bereiche innerhalb der baroklinen Welle, in denen ein erhöhter spontaner Antrieb des ageostrophischen Anteils durch die quasigeostrophische Strömung beobachtet wird, fallen mit Bereichen erhöhter Schwerewellenaktivität zusammen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass die spontane Schwerewellenabstrahlung auch im Annulus zum Schwerewellenfeld beiträgt, sodass dieses Experiment als Labormodell dieser Schwerewellenquelle für deren weitere Erforschung geeignet erscheint.
Desert dust is one of the most abundant ice nucleating particle types in the atmosphere. Traditionally, clay minerals were assumed to determine the ice nucleation ability of desert dust and constituted the focus of ice nucleation studies over several decades. Recently some feldspar species were identified to be ice active at much higher temperatures than clay minerals, redirecting studies to investigate the contribution of feldspar to ice nucleation on desert dust. However, so far no study has shown the atmospheric relevance of this mineral phase.
For this study four dust samples were collected after airborne transport in the troposphere from the Sahara to different locations (Crete, the Peloponnese, Canary Islands, and the Sinai Peninsula). Additionally, 11 dust samples were collected from the surface from nine of the biggest deserts worldwide. The samples were used to study the ice nucleation behavior specific to different desert dusts. Furthermore, we investigated how representative surface-collected dust is for the atmosphere by comparing to the ice nucleation activity of the airborne samples. We used the IMCA-ZINC setup to form droplets on single aerosol particles which were subsequently exposed to temperatures between 233 and 250 K. Dust particles were collected in parallel on filters for offline cold-stage ice nucleation experiments at 253–263 K. To help the interpretation of the ice nucleation experiments the mineralogical composition of the dusts was investigated. We find that a higher ice nucleation activity in a given sample at 253 K can be attributed to the K-feldspar content present in this sample, whereas at temperatures between 238 and 245 K it is attributed to the sum of feldspar and quartz content present. A high clay content, in contrast, is associated with lower ice nucleation activity. This confirms the importance of feldspar above 250 K and the role of quartz and feldspars determining the ice nucleation activities at lower temperatures as found by earlier studies for monomineral dusts. The airborne samples show on average a lower ice nucleation activity than the surface-collected ones. Furthermore, we find that under certain conditions milling can lead to a decrease in the ice nucleation ability of polymineral samples due to the different hardness and cleavage of individual mineral phases causing an increase of minerals with low ice nucleation ability in the atmospherically relevant size fraction. Comparison of our data set to an existing desert dust parameterization confirms its applicability for climate models. Our results suggest that for an improved prediction of the ice nucleation ability of desert dust in the atmosphere, the modeling of emission and atmospheric transport of the feldspar and quartz mineral phases would be key, while other minerals are only of minor importance.

In this study we report the set-up of a novel twin chamber technique that uses the comparative method and establishes an appropriate connection of atmospheric and laboratory methods to broaden the tools for investigations. It is designed to study the impact of certain parameters and gases on ambient processes, such as particle formation online, and can be applied in a large variety of conditions. The characterisation of both chambers proved that both chambers operate identically, with a residence time xT (COMPASS1) = 26.5 ± 0.3 min and xT (COMPASS2) = 26.6 ± 0.4 min, at a typical flow rate of 15 L min−1 and a gas leak rate of (1.6 ± 0.8) × 10−5 s−1. Particle loss rates were found to be larger (due to the particles' stickiness to the chamber walls), with an extrapolated maximum of 1.8 × 10−3 s−1 at 1 nm, i.e. a hundredfold of the gas leak rate. This latter value is associated with sticky non-volatile gaseous compounds, too. Comparison measurement showed no significant differences. Therefore operation under atmospheric conditions is trustworthy. To indicate the applicability and the benefit of the system, a set of experiments was conducted under different conditions, i.e. urban and remote, enhanced ozone and terpenes as well as reduced sunlight. In order to do so, an ozone lamp was applied to enhance ozone in one of two chambers; the measurement chamber was protected from radiation by a first-aid cover and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were added using a small additional flow and a temperature-controlled oven. During the elevated ozone period, ambient particle number and volume increased substantially at urban and remote conditions, but by a different intensity. Protection of solar radiation displayed a clear negative effect on particle number, while terpene addition did cause a distinct daily pattern. E.g. adding β pinene particle number concentration rose by 13% maximum at noontime, while no significant effect was observable during darkness. Therefore, the system is a useful tool for investigating local precursors and the details of ambient particle formation at surface locations as well as potential future feedback processes.
The anthropogenic influence on climate and environment has increased strongly since industrialization about 150 yr ago. The consequences for the atmosphere became more and more apparent and nowadays affect our life quality on Earth progressively. Because of that it is very important to understand the atmospheric processes, on which these effects are based on, in detail. In this study we report the set-up of a novel twin chamber technique that uses the comparative method and establishes an appropriate connection of atmospheric and laboratory methods to broaden the tools for investigations. It is designed to study the impact of certain parameters and gases on ambient processes such as particle formation online and can be applied in a large variety of conditions.

Comparison measurement showed no significant differences. Therefore operation under atmospheric conditions is trustworthy. To indicate the applicability and the benefit of the system a set of experiments was conducted at different conditions, i.e. urban and remote, enhancing ozone and terpenes as well as reducing sunlight. In the ozone enhanced ambient particle number and volume increased substantially at urban and remote conditions in a different strength. Solar radiation displayed a clear positive effect on particle number as well as terpene addition did at remote conditions. Therefore the system is a useful tool to investigate local precursors, the details of ambient particle formation at surface locations as well as future feedback processes.
Atmospheric new particle formation is a general phenomenon observed over coniferous forests. So far nucleation is described as a function of gaseous sulfuric acid concentration only, which is unable to explain the observed seasonality of nucleation events at different measurement sites. Here we introduce a new nucleation parameter including ozone and water vapor concentrations as well as UV-B radiation as a proxy for OH radical formation. Applying this new parameter to field studies conducted at Finnish and German measurement sites it is found capable to predict the occurrence of nucleation events and their seasonal and annual variation indicating a significant role of organics. Extrapolation to possible future conditions of ozone, water vapor and organic concentrations leads to a significant potential increase in nucleation event number.
Atmospheric new particle formation is a general phenomenon observed over coniferous forests. So far nucleation is either parameterised as a function of gaseous sulphuric acid concentration only, which is unable to explain the observed seasonality of nucleation events at different measurement sites, or as a function of sulphuric acid and organic molecules. Here we introduce different nucleation parameters based on the interaction of sulphuric acid and terpene oxidation products and elucidate the individual importance. They include basic trace gas and meteorological measurements such as ozone and water vapour concentrations, temperature (for terpene emission) and UV B radiation as a proxy for OH radical formation. We apply these new parameters to field studies conducted at conducted at Finnish and German measurement sites and compare these to nucleation observations on a daily and annual scale. General agreement was found, although the specific compounds responsible for the nucleation process remain speculative. This can be interpreted as follows: During cooler seasons the emission of biogenic terpenes and the OH availability limits the new particle formation while towards warmer seasons the ratio of ozone and water vapour concentration seems to dominate the general behaviour. Therefore, organics seem to support ambient nucleation besides sulphuric acid or an OH-related compound. Using these nucleation parameters to extrapolate the current conditions to prognosed future concentrations of ozone, water vapour and organic concentrations leads to a significant potential increase in the nucleation event number.
The link between atmospheric radicals and newly formed particles at a spruce forest site in Germany
(2013)
It has been claimed for more than a century that atmospheric new particle formation is primarily influenced by the presence of sulphuric acid. However, the activation process of sulphuric acid related clusters into detectable particles is still an unresolved topic. In this study we focus on the PARADE campaign measurements conducted during August/September 2011 at Mt. Kleiner Feldberg in central Germany. During this campaign a set of radicals, organic and inorganic compounds and oxidants and aerosol properties were measured or calculated. We compared a range of organic and inorganic nucleation theories, evaluating their ability to simulate measured particle formation rates at 3 nm in diameter (J3) for a variety of different conditions. Nucleation mechanisms involving only sulphuric acid tentatively captured the observed noon-time daily maximum in J3, but displayed an increasing difference to J3 measurements during the rest of the diurnal cycle. Including large organic radicals, i.e. organic peroxy radicals (RO2) deriving from monoterpenes and their oxidation products in the nucleation mechanism improved the correlation between observed and simulated J3. This supports a recently proposed empirical relationship for new particle formation that has been used in global models. However, the best match between theory and measurements for the site of interest was found for an activation process based on large organic peroxy radicals and stabilized Criegee intermediates (sCI). This novel laboratory derived algorithm simulated the daily pattern and intensity of J3 observed in the ambient data. In this algorithm organic derived radicals are involved in activation and growth and link the formation rate of smallest aerosol particles with OH during daytime and NO3 during nighttime. Because of the RO2s lifetime is controlled by HO2 and NO we conclude that peroxy radicals and NO seem to play an important role for ambient radical chemistry not only with respect to oxidation capacity but also for the activation process of new particle formation. This is supposed to have significant impact of atmospheric radical species on aerosol chemistry and should to be taken into account when studying the impact of new particles in climate feedback cycles.

In this survey paper, we present a multiscale post-processing method in exploration. Based on a physically relevant mollifier technique involving the elasto-oscillatory Cauchy–Navier equation, we mathematically describe the extractable information within 3D geological models obtained by migration as is commonly used for geophysical exploration purposes. More explicitly, the developed multiscale approach extracts and visualizes structural features inherently available in signature bands of certain geological formations such as aquifers, salt domes etc. by specifying suitable wavelet bands.
Residual circulation trajectories and transit times into the extratropical lowermost stratosphere
(2010)
Transport into the extratropical lowermost stratosphere (LMS) can be divided into a slow part (time-scale of several months to years) associated with the global-scale stratospheric residual circulation and a fast part (time-scale of days to a few months) associated with (mostly quasi-horizontal) mixing (i.e. two-way irreversible transport, including stratosphere-troposphere exchange). The stratospheric residual circulation can be considered to consist of two branches: a deep branch more strongly associated with planetary waves breaking in the middle to upper stratosphere, and a shallow branch more strongly associated with synoptic-scale waves breaking in the subtropical lower stratosphere. In this study the contribution due to the stratospheric residual circulation alone to transport into the LMS is quantified using residual circulation trajectories, i.e. trajectories driven by the (time-dependent) residual mean meridional and vertical velocities. This contribution represents the advective part of the overall transport into the LMS and can be viewed as providing a background onto which the effect of mixing has to be added. Residual mean velocities are obtained from a comprehensive chemistry-climate model as well as from reanalysis data. Transit times of air traveling from the tropical tropopause to the LMS along the residual circulation streamfunction are evaluated and compared to recent mean age of air estimates. A clear time-scale separation with much smaller transit times into the mid-latitudinal LMS than into polar LMS is found that is indicative of a clear separation of the shallow from the deep branch of the residual circulation. This separation between the shallow and the deep circulation branch is further manifested in a clear distinction in the aspect ratio of the vertical to meridional extent of the trajectories as well as the integrated mass flux along the residual circulation trajectories. The residual transit time distribution reproduces qualitatively the observed seasonal cycle of youngest air in the extratropical LMS in fall and oldest air in spring.

Der Cornbrash (sandige Fazies des Bathonien) setzt sich im zentralen Teil des Niedersächsischen Beckens aus insgesamt 5 Teilschüttungen zusammen. Zwei Sandschüttungen erfolgten im Unter-Bathonien (Obere Württembergica-Sandsteine); im Ober-Bathonien können insgesamt drei Sandschüttungen ausgehalten werden (Aspidoides-Sandsteine). Während der Einschüttung der Württembergica-Sandsteine sowie der unteren Abteilung des Aspidoides-Sandsteins bildete der Bereich etwa östlich der Linie Steinhuder Meer-Minden eine stabile Plattform, auf der sich von Osten nach Westen Deltas vorbauten (obere Abteilung des Oberen Württembergica-Sandsteins) bzw. hochenergetische Sandplaten zur Ablagerung kamen (untere Abteilung des Oberen Württembergica-Sandsteins sowie des Aspidoides-Sandsteins). Westlich dieser Plattform kam es im Bereich des Wesertroges dagegen zu einem phasenweisen Absinken des Untergrundes. Dementsprechend wechselhaft ist hier die Sedimentation: tonige Schelfablagerungen, deckenförmige Sande eines flach-tiefen Subtidals, hochenergetische Sandplatenbildungen sowie tonige, Bryozoen- und Onkoiden-führende Tone eines geschützten Litorals bilden im höheren Dogger insgesamt 3 regressive Sedimentationszyklen ab. Den insgesamt N-S verlaufenden Beckenkonturen entsprechend war im offenen Schelfbereich (Weser-Wiehengebirge) während des Bathonien ein zum Beckenrand parallel vertautendescnach Norden gerichtetes - Meeresströmungssystem ausgebildet. In Beckenrandbereichen (Süntel) erzeugte dagegen die auflaufende Gezeitenwelle ein senkrecht zum Beckenrand orientiertes, E-W gerichtetes Strömungsmuster. Im höheren Ober-Bathonien erfolgte eine tiefgreifende Umgestaltung der südlichen Beckenteile. Verstärkte Hebungsvorgänge im Bereich der Westfälisch-Lippischen Schwelle führten zu Sandeinschüttungen aus südlichen Richtungen, gleichzeitig verloren die östlichen Liefergebiete an Bedeutung. Sandschüttungen aus Norden, die vermutlich während des gesamten Bathonien erfolgten, haben den Südrand des Niedersächsischen Beckens zu keiner Zeit erreicht.
We have sampled atmospheric ice nuclei (IN) and aerosol in Germany and in Israel during spring 2010. IN were analyzed by the static vapor diffusion chamber FRIDGE, as well as by electron microscopy. During the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption of April 2010 we have measured the highest ice nucleus number concentrations (>600 l−1) in our record of 2 yr of daily IN measurements in central Germany. Even in Israel, located about 5000 km away from Iceland, IN were as high as otherwise only during desert dust storms. The fraction of aerosol activated as ice nuclei at −18 °C and 119% rhice and the corresponding area density of ice-active sites per aerosol surface were considerably higher than what we observed during an intense outbreak of Saharan dust over Europe in May 2008.
Pure volcanic ash accounts for at least 53–68% of the 239 individual ice nucleating particles that we collected in aerosol samples from the event and analyzed by electron microscopy. Volcanic ash samples that had been collected close to the eruption site were aerosolized in the laboratory and measured by FRIDGE. Our analysis confirms the relatively poor ice nucleating efficiency (at −18 °C and 119% ice-saturation) of such "fresh" volcanic ash, as it had recently been found by other workers. We find that both the fraction of the aerosol that is active as ice nuclei as well as the density of ice-active sites on the aerosol surface are three orders of magnitude larger in the samples collected from ambient air during the volcanic peaks than in the aerosolized samples from the ash collected close to the eruption site. From this we conclude that the ice-nucleating properties of volcanic ash may be altered substantially by aging and processing during long-range transport in the atmosphere, and that global volcanism deserves further attention as a potential source of atmospheric ice nuclei.
Explosive volcanism affects weather and climate. Primary volcanic ash particles which act as ice nuclei (IN) can modify the phase and properties of cold tropospheric clouds. During the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption we have measured the highest ice nucleus number concentrations (>600 L) in our record of 2 years of daily IN measurements in central Germany. Even in Israel, located about 5000 km away from Iceland, IN were as high as otherwise only during desert dust storms. These measurements are the only ones available on the properties of IN in the Eyjafjallajökull plume. The measured high concentrations and high activation temperature (−8 °C) point to an important impact of volcanic ash on microphysical and radiative properties of clouds through enhanced glaciation.

In vorliegender Untersuchung wurde der Rißlöß zwischen der 1. und 2. fossilen Parabraunerde anhand schwächerer Bodenbildungen und eingeschalteter Abtragungsphasen zu gliedern versucht. Im jüngeren Riß herrschte starke Lößsedimentation vor, wobei es in mindestens 6 kaltfeuchten Abschnitten zur Ausbildung schwacher periglazialer Naßböden kam. Die Naßbodenserie wurde als Bruchköbeler Böden (B) bezeichnet. Im jüngsten Rißlöß ist wenige dm unter dem Eemboden als tephrochronologischer Leithorizont der Krifteler Tuff (vgl. SEMMEL 1968) eingeschaltet. Den mittleren Profilbereich im Rißlöß zeichnen feuchtere Klimaabschnitte mit starken Verschwemmungsphasen aus, die in den meisten Profilen zu erheblichen Diskordanzen geführt haben. An der Basis der wenigen kompletten Rißlöß-Profile treten vorwiegend in Hessen über der zumeist gekappten 2. fossilen Parabraunerde maximal zwei Schwarzerden auf, die von SEMMEL (1968) als Weilbacher Humuszonen bezeichnet werden. Unmittelbar über diesen Schwarzerden folgt die Ostheimer Zone, eine Fließerde aus aufgearbeitetem Solumaterial der liegenden Böden. Insgesamt zeigt die aus den Rißböden rekonstruierte Klimaabfolge — neben geringfügigen Abweichungen — überraschende Parallelen zur paläopedologisch-klimatischen Gliederung der Würmkaltzeit.
The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany). To describe species adaptation strategies to different nitrogen availabilities, we used a plant functional type (PFT) approach. Each identified PFT represents one realized adaptation strategy to the current environment. These were correlated, next to plant species richness and evenness, to soil nitrogen contents. We found that N-efficient species were typical for low soil nitrogen contents, while N-requiring species occur at high N-contents. In contrast to our initial hypotheses, floristic and functional diversity measures (number of PFTs) were positively related to nitrogen content in the soil. Every functional group has its own adaptation to the prevailing environmental conditions; in consequence, these functional groups can co-exist but do not out-compete one another. The increased number of functional groups at high N-contents leads to increased species richness. Hence, for explaining diversity patterns we need to consider species groups representing different adaptations to the current environmental conditions. Such co-existing ecological strategies may even overcome the importance of competition in their effect on biodiversity.
ucleation experiments starting from the reaction of OH radicals with SO2 have been performed in the IfT-LFT flow tube under atmospheric conditions at 293±0.5 K for a relative humidity of 13–61%. The presence of different additives (H2, CO, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) for adjusting the OH radical concentration and resulting OH levels in the range (4–300)·105 molecule cm−3 did not influence the nucleation process itself. The number of detected particles as well as the threshold H2SO4 concentration needed for nucleation was found to be strongly dependent on the counting efficiency of the used counting devices. High-sensitivity particle counters allowed the measurement of freshly nucleated particles with diameters down to about 1.5 nm. A parameterization of the experimental data was developed using power law equations for H2SO4 and H2O vapour. The exponent for H2SO4 from different measurement series was in the range of 1.7–2.1 being in good agreement with those arising from analysis of nucleation events in the atmosphere. For increasing relative humidity, an increase of the particle number was observed. The exponent for H2O vapour was found to be 3.1 representing a first estimate. Addition of 1.2·1011 molecule cm−3 or 1.2·1012 molecule cm−3 of NH3 (range of atmospheric NH3 peak concentrations) revealed that NH3 has a measureable, promoting effect on the nucleation rate under these conditions. The promoting effect was found to be more pronounced for relatively dry conditions. NH3 showed a contribution to particle growth. Adding the amine tert-butylamine instead of NH3, the enhancing impact for nucleation and particle growth appears to be stronger.

Addition of 1.2×1011 molecule cm -3 or 1.2×1012 molecule cm -3 of NH3 (range of atmospheric NH3 peak concentrations) revealed that NH3 has a measureable, promoting effect on the nucleation rate under these conditions. The promoting effect was found to be more pronounced for relatively dry conditions, i.e. a rise of the particle number by 1–2 orders of magnitude at RH = 13% and only by a factor of 2–5 at RH = 47% (NH3 addition: 1.2×1012 molecule cm -3). Using the amine tert-butylamine instead of NH3, the enhancing impact of the base for nucleation and particle growth appears to be stronger. Tert-butylamine addition of about 1010 molecule cm -3 at RH = 13% enhances particle formation by about two orders of magnitude, while for NH3 only a small or negligible effect on nucleation in this range of concentration appeared. This suggests that amines can strongly influence atmospheric H2SO4-H2O nucleation and are probably promising candidates for explaining existing discrepancies between theory and observations.
Auf der Suche nach Erfahrungen in den Tropen setzte der Geografiestudent Jürgen Runge das erste Mal in Togo seinen Fuß auf den afrikanischen Kontinent. Aus einem etwas holprigen Start wurde eine große Zuneigung zu Zentral- und Westafrika. Heute ist Runge Direktor des Zentrums für Interdisziplinäre Afrikaforschung an der Goethe-Universität und forscht gemeinsam mit Partnern der Region vor allem zu Landschaftsentwicklung, Flusssedimenten und Klimawandel.
The main objective of the study presented in this paper was to develop an evaluation scheme which is suitable for spatially explicit groundwater vulnerability assessment according to the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Study area was the Hase river catchment, an area of about 3 000 km2 in north-west Germany which is dominated by livestock farming, in particular pig and poultry production. For the Hase river catchment, the first inventory of the WFD led to the conclusion that 98% of the catchment area is "unclear/unlikely" to reach a good groundwater status due to diffuse nitrogen emissions from agriculture. The groundwater vulnerability assessment was embedded in the PartizipA project ("Participative modelling, Actor and Ecosystem Analysis in Regions with Intensive Agriculture", www.partizipa.net), within which a so-called actors´ platform was established in the study area. The objective of the participatory process was to investigate the effects of the WFD on agriculture as well as to discuss groundwater protection measures which are suitable for an integration in the programme of measures. The study was conducted according to the vulnerability assessment concept of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, considering sensitivity, exposure and adaptive capacity. Sensitivity was computed using the DRASTIC index of natural groundwater pollution potential. Exposure (for a reference scenario) was computed using the STOFFBILANZ nutrient model. Several regional studies were analysed to evaluate the adaptive capacity. From these studies it was concluded that the adaptive capacity in the Hase river catchment is very low due to the economic importance of the agricultural sector which will be significantly affected by groundwater protection measures. As a consequence, the adaptive capacity was not considered any more in the vulnerability assessment. A groundwater vulnerability evaluation scheme is presented which enjoys the advantage that both exposure and sensitivity can be operationalized in a spatially resolved manner (500×500 m grid) by the two models mentioned above. The evaluation scheme was applied in the Hase river catchment. 21% of the catchment was classified as highly vulnerable, another 73% as medium vulnerable. Only 6% of the Hase river catchment has low vulnerability. Grid cells of the high vulnerability class are considered as priority areas for groundwater protection measures in the programme of measures of the WFD. Measures will be particularly effective in the north-eastern part of the catchment where groundwater vulnerability is mainly due to high nitrogen emissions.
An evaluation scheme is presented in this paper which can be used to assess groundwater vulnerability according to the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The evaluation scheme results in a groundwater vulnerability map identifying areas of high, medium and low vulnerability, as necessary for the measurement planning of the WFD. The evaluation scheme is based on the definition of the vulnerability of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It considers exposure, sensitivity and the adaptive capacity of the region. The adaptive capacity is evaluated in an actors' platform, which was constituted for the region in the PartizipA ("Participative modelling, Actor and Ecosystem Analysis in Regions with Intensive Agriculture") project. As a result of the vulnerability assessment, 21% of the catchment area was classified as being highly vulnerable, whereas 73% has medium vulnerability and 6% has low vulnerability. Thus, a groundwater vulnerability assessment approach is presented, which can be used in practice on a catchment scale for the WFD measurement planning.
Aus der Notwendigkeit heraus, "nachhaltig die Funktionen des Bodens zu sichern" (§1 BBodSchG), und damit auch Bodenschutz vorsorgend in Planungsprozesse zu integrieren, wurde ein neues Bodenschutzkonzept entwickelt. Es basiert auf einer differenzierten, aber gleichzeitig nachvollziehbaren Bodenbewertung. Das Problem bei der Bodenbewertung ist, dass etwas bewertet werden soll, für das - je nach Fragestellung - immer wieder neue Ziele definiert werden müssen. Deshalb liegt der Bodenbewertung ein Zielsystem zu Grunde, das Schutzziele klar festlegt und mit Hilfe dessen die Bodenbewertung nachvollziehbar wird. Für das Bodenschutzkonzept werden aus der Vielzahl möglicher Kriterien wichtige vorgestellt, aus denen die - bezogen auf dieses Zielsystem - wesentlichen ausgewählt werden können. Um aussagekräftige Daten für diese Kriterien zu erhalten stützt sich die Bodenbewertung auf bodenkundliche sowie landschaftsgenetisch-geomorphologische Zusammenhänge. Die eigentliche Bewertung erfolgt dann in drei Schritten: zuerst eine Einzelbewertung, dann zusammengefasst nach den Bodenfunktionen Lebensraumfunktion, Regelungsfunktion, Informationsfunktion, dem Eigenwert des Bodens (Schutzwürdigkeit) sowie der Empfindlichkeit und Gefährdung (Schutzbedürftigkeit). Im dritten Schritt werden diese Bewertungen dann zu einer gewichteten, verbal-argumentativen Gesamtbewertung der Schutzwürdigkeit und Schutzbedürftigkeit zusammengefasst. Mit Hilfe des Bewertungsverfahrens werden auch Zielkonflikte zwischen den unterschiedlichen Schutzgütern offengelegt. Schutzmaßnahmen ergeben sich dann stringent aus den vorher im Zielsystem gesetzten Prämissen, d.h., Ziele und Maßnahmen sind begründbar gewählt, stehen in einem ökologischen Gesamtzusammenhang und lassen sich sehr gut nachvollziehen. Das hier vorgestellte, neue Bodenschutzkonzept ist für verschiedene Planungsebenen geeignet. Es ist in unterschiedlichen Naturräumen anwendbar, kann verschiedene Schutzziele mit Hilfe des Zielsystems bestimmen und so z.B. die Naturraumvielfalt in einem Gebiet ebenso berücksichtigen wie die Meinungsvielfalt, was unter vorsorgendem Bodenschutz zu verstehen sei.
A complete, well-preserved record of the Cenomanian/Turonian (C/T) Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE-2) was recovered from Demerara Rise in the southern North Atlantic Ocean (ODP site 1260). Across this interval, we determined changes in the stable carbon isotopic composition of sulfur-bound phytane (δ13Cphytane, a biomarker for photosynthetic algae. The δ13Cphytane record shows a positive excursion at the onset of the OAE-2 interval, with an unusually large amplitude (~7 ‰) compared to existing C/T proto-North Atlantic δ13Cphytane records (3–6 ‰). Overall, the amplitude of the excursion of δ13Cphytane decreases with latitude. Using reconstructed sea surface temperature (SST) gradients for the proto-North Atlantic, we investigated environmental factors influencing the latitudinal δ13Cphytane gradient. The observed gradient is best explained by high productivity at DSDP Site 367 and Tarfaya basin before OAE-2, which changed in overall high productivity throughout the proto-North Atlantic during OAE-2. During OAE-2, productivity at site 1260 and 603B was thus more comparable to the mid-latitude sites. Using these constraints as well as the SST and δ13Cphytane-records from Site 1260, we subsequently reconstructed pCO2 levels across the OAE-2 interval. Accordingly, pCO2 decreased from ca. 1750 to 900 ppm during OAE-2, consistent with enhanced organic matter burial resulting in lowering pCO2. Whereas the onset of OAE-2 coincided with increased pCO2, in line with a volcanic trigger for this event, the observed cooling within OAE-2 probably resulted from CO2 sequestration in black shales outcompeting CO2 input into the atmosphere. Together these results show that the ice-free Cretaceous world was sensitive to changes in pCO2 related to perturbations of the global carbon cycle.

Subduction zone magmas are more oxidised on eruption than those at mid-ocean ridges. This is attributed either to oxidising components, derived from subducted lithosphere (slab) and added to the mantle wedge, or to oxidation processes occurring during magma ascent via differentiation. Here we provide direct evidence for contributions of oxidising slab agents to melts trapped in the sub-arc mantle. Measurements of sulfur (S) valence state in sub-arc mantle peridotites identify sulfate, both as crystalline anhydrite (CaSO4) and dissolved SO42− in spinel-hosted glass (formerly melt) inclusions. Copper-rich sulfide precipitates in the inclusions and increased Fe3+/∑Fe in spinel record a S6+–Fe2+ redox coupling during melt percolation through the sub-arc mantle. Sulfate-rich glass inclusions exhibit high U/Th, Pb/Ce, Sr/Nd and δ34S (+ 7 to + 11‰), indicating the involvement of dehydration products of serpentinised slab rocks in their parental melt sources. These observations provide a link between liberated slab components and oxidised arc magmas.
Fossil records of early solar irradiation and cosmolocation of the CAI factory: a reappraisal
(2021)
Calcium-aluminum–rich inclusions (CAIs) in meteorites carry crucial information about the environmental conditions of the nascent Solar System prior to planet formation. Based on models of 50V–10Be co-production by in-situ irradiation, CAIs are considered to have formed within ~0.1 AU from the proto-Sun. Here, we present vanadium (V) and strontium (Sr) isotopic co-variations in fine- and coarse-grained CAIs and demonstrate that kinetic isotope effects during partial condensation and evaporation best explain V isotope anomalies previously attributed to solar particle irradiation. We also report initial excesses of 10Be and argue that CV CAIs possess essentially a homogeneous level of 10Be, inherited during their formation. Based on numerical modeling of 50V–10Be co-production by irradiation, we show that CAI formation during protoplanetary disk build-up likely occurred at greater heliocentric distances than previously considered, up to planet-forming regions (~1AU), where solar particle fluxes were sufficiently low to avoid substantial in-situ irradiation of CAIs.
Die vorliegende geologische Arbeit befaßt sich mit einem Ausschnitt des Taunus. Der Taunus ist der südöstlichste Teil des Rheinischen Schiefergebirges und liegt in etwa zwischen Koblenz, Gießen, Frankfurt und Wiesbaden (Abb. 1 und 2). Marine Flachseesedimente prägen hier das Unterdevon des Rheinischen Schiefergebirges. Durch variszische Deformation entstand überwiegend NW- bis NNW-vergenter Faltenbau. Gravitative Kräfte ließen weitere tektonische Strukturen entstehen. Tertiäre Bruchtektonik schuf Horste und Gräben....... Das bearbeitete Gebiet weist unter großflächigen quartären Schuttdecken unterdevonische Sedimente der Tonschiefer- und Feinsandsteinfraktion auf. Im Unterdevon sorgte rasche Sedimentation bei ständiger Absenkung des Rheinischen Trogs für ein flaches Meer. Im Norden des Kartiergebiets tritt eine Fossilbank mit mariner Fauna zutage. Bei der mesozoisch-tertiären Verwitterung wurden die oberflächennahen Gesteine gelockert und Vererzungen und Roterden gebildet. Taleinschnitte in die tertiäre Rumpffläche sind pleistozänen Alters. Das devonische Gestein ist anchimetamorph überprägt und zeigt eine deutliche erste Schieferung, welche von einer intensiven Glimmerneubildung begleitet ist und primär stark nordwestvergent angelegt wurde. In feinpelitischen Bereichen kann eine zweite, postkristalline Schieferung ausgebildet sein. Durch starken Schuppenbau und anhaltende laterale Einengung bei der variszischen Überprägung entstanden im Taunus sogenannte "horse structures": Es kam zu sukzessiver Aufrichtung hangender Schuppeneinheiten bei nordwestlich fortschreitender Anlage von Überschiebungsbahnen im Liegenden. Im Scheitelbereich eines so entstandenen Vergenzfächers liegt das Kartiergebiet. Achsenflächen und Hauptschieferung stehen steil bis saiger. In diesen Bereichen kam es beim Kollaps des Gebirges durch gravitative Kräfte zur Anlage von Knickbändern. Sie ersetzen Verschiebungsflächen. Vereinzelt sind sie auch mit Abschiebungen verbunden. Die am häufigsten aufgeschlossene Knickband-Schar hat nach SE abschiebenden Charakter, eine zweite zeigt NW-gerichteten Bewegungssinn. Sie sind aufgrund der gleichgerichteten vertikalen Einengung zusammengehörend bzw. konjungiert. Die Knickachsen beider Scharen tauchen mit nur wenigen Grad in Streichrichtung ab. Manchmal sind Knickbänder dieser beiden Gruppen direkt konjungiert aufgeschlossen. Möglicherweise durch Rotation, als Teil konjungierter Knickbänder oder innerhalb größerer übergeordneter Knickbänder erscheinen einige der Knickbänder aufschiebend. Eine untergeordnete, dritte Knickband-Schar deutet mit schrägabschiebendem Verschiebungssinn eine Rotation der Spannungsrichtung und möglicherweise erste Bewegungen der Idsteiner Senke an. Sie ist im Untersuchungsgebiet nur selten aufgeschlossen. Die Untersuchungen im Zuge dieser Diplomarbeit ergaben, daß die Knickbänder bevorzugt in Bereichen südvergenter Schieferung entstanden. Im Süden und südlich des Kartiergebiets weist die Schieferung häufiger Südvergenz auf, weshalb dort fast ausschließlich nach S bis SE abschiebende Knickbänder einzumessen waren. Unterschiede zwischen Messungen im Westen und Osten des Gebiets wurden nicht festgestellt. Ein weiteres Ergebnis dieser Arbeit ist eine Longitudinalstrain-Berechnung von 3,4-6,8 % für die Gesteinspartien mit Knickbändern. Die Anlage der Knickbänder wird als letzte variszische Deformation angesehen. Ihr folgten außer kleineren Abschiebungen möglicherweise noch syn- und antithetische Rotationsbewegungen einzelner Gesteinsschollen. Demnach würden sich insgesamt die Anlage der Knickbänder und die Bildung der Vergenzfächer zeitlich überschneiden. Das Einfallen der Knickachsen und auch anderer Achsen und Lineare flach nach SW, ist wahrscheinlich durch tertiäre Bruchschollentektonik bedingt. Diese Bruchtektonik gliedert das Gebirge in Schollen mit Horsten und Gräben, so z.B. die bedeutende Grabenstruktur der Idsteiner Senke. Dabei kann der Vergenzfächer trotz vertikaler Bewegung horizontal versetzt worden sein. Seine Scheitellinie verändert zur Tiefe hin die Position ("horse structures") und tritt bei einer erodierten Hochscholle versetzt zutage.
Aus mehreren Datenquellen wurde ein neuer globaler Niederschlagsdatensatz für die Zeit 1951-2000 generiert, der unter der Bedingung einer Mindestverfügbarkeit von 90 % genau 9.343 Stationen umfasst. Die betreffenden Zeitreihen wurden einer umfassenden Qualitätskontrolle unterzogen, was zu äußerst zahlreichen Korrekturen führte, einschließlich Tests auf Ausreißer und Homogenität sowie Homogenisierung. Daraus entstand ein Gitterpunktdatensatz in 0,5° x 0,5°- Auflösung, was für die Landgebiete (ausgenommen Grönland und Antarktis) rund 71.000 Gitterpunkte ergibt, und über INTERNET frei verfügbar bereitgestellt. Davon ausgehend und unter Nutzung weiterer vorliegender Datensätze, insbesondere der Temperatur, wurden zunächst einige grundlegende Untersuchungen zur globalen und regionalen Klima- und Niederschlagsvariabilität durchgeführt. Diese Arbeiten umfassten Analysen der Veränderungen des global gemittelten Niederschlages und potentieller Einflussgrößen, die Neuberechnung der globalen Klimaklassifikation nach Köppen, Untersuchungen zur raumzeitlichen Struktur von Niederschlagsänderungen global sowie speziell in Afrika und schließlich Analysen der raumzeitlichen Beziehungen zwischen großräumiger atmosphärischer Zirkulation und Niederschlag im nordatlantisch-europäischen Bereich. Für weitergehende statistische Analysen wurde eine neue Methode der vollständigen Zeitreihenmodellierung entwickelt, um die die in diesen Reihen enthaltenen signifikanten Variationskomponenten durch Regressionstechniken zu erfassen und in ihrem raumzeitlichen Verhalten darzustellen. Dabei lag ein Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeiten auf der Extremwertanalyse, die es nun gestattet, unabhängig vom Verteilungstyp für beliebige Schwellenwerte den zeitlichen Verlauf der Unter- sowie Überschreitungswahrscheinlichkeit anzugeben und somit zu erkennen, inwieweit das Klima extremer geworden ist. Dabei zeigte sich je nach Region die Gumbel- oder die Weibull-Verteilung als geeignet. Regionale Schwerpunkte waren dabei u.a. Deutschland bzw. Europa, auch hinsichtlich der Erstellung neuer Klimatrendkarten nach der üblichen linearen Methode (der kleinsten Quadrate) sowie der innovativen. Weiterhin wurden nach der innovativen Methode Klimamodelldaten des Hamburger Max-Planck-Instituts für Meteorologie (IPCC Szenario A2) hinsichtlich des Niederschlag-Extremverhaltens in Europa untersucht. Schließlich erfolgte eine Abschätzung der Wiederkehrzeiten täglicher Extremniederschläge in Deutschland und deren Unsicherheit.
The most frequently used boundary-layer turbulence parameterization in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) based-based schemes. However, these parameterizations suffer from a potential weakness, namely the strong dependence on an ad-hoc quantity, the so-called turbulence length scale. The physical interpretation of the turbulence length scale is difficult and hence it cannot be directly related to measurements or large eddy simulation (LES) data. Consequently, formulations for the turbulence length scale in basically all TKE schemes are based on simplified assumptions and are model-dependent. A good reference for the independent evaluation of the turbulence length scale expression for NWP modeling is missing. Here we propose a new turbulence length scale diagnostic which can be used in the gray zone of turbulence without modifying the underlying TKE turbulence scheme. The new diagnostic is based on the TKE budget: The core idea is to encapsulate the sum of the molecular dissipation and the cross-scale TKE transfer into an effective dissipation, and associate it with the new turbulence length scale. This effective dissipation can then be calculated as a residuum in the TKE budget equation (for horizontal sub-domains of different sizes) using LES data. Estimation of the scale dependence of the diagnosed turbulence length scale using this novel method is presented for several idealized cases.
An update of the two-energy turbulence scheme is presented, the 2TE + APDF scheme. The original version of the two-energy scheme is able to successfully model shallow convection without the need of an additional parameterization for non-local fluxes. However, the performance of the two-energy scheme is worse in stratocumulus cases, where it tends to overestimate the erosion of the stable layers. We have identified the causes: the non-local stability parameter does not consider local stratification, the scheme lacks an internal parameter that could distinguish between a shallow convection regime and a stratocumulus regime, and it uses an inflexible turbulence length scale formulation. To alleviate this problem, we propose several modifications: an update of the stability parameter, a modified computation of the turbulence length scale, and the introduction of the entropy potential temperature to distinguish between a shallow convection and a stratocumulus regime. In addition, the two-energy scheme is coupled to a simplified assumed probability density function method in order to achieve a more universal representation of the cloudy regimes. The updated turbulence scheme is evaluated for several idealized cases and one selected real case in the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) modeling framework. The results show that the updated scheme corrects the overmixing problem in the stratocumulus cases. The performance of the updated scheme is comparable to the operational setup, and can be thus used instead of the operational turbulence and shallow convection scheme in ICON. Additionally, the updated scheme improves the coupling with dynamics, which is beneficial for the modeling of coherent flow structures in the atmospheric boundary layer.
The ICON single-column mode
(2021)
The single-column mode (SCM) of the ICON (ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic) modeling framework is presented. The primary purpose of the ICON SCM is to use it as a tool for research, model evaluation and development. Thanks to the simplified geometry of the ICON SCM, various aspects of the ICON model, in particular the model physics, can be studied in a well-controlled environment. Additionally, the ICON SCM has a reduced computational cost and a low data storage demand. The ICON SCM can be utilized for idealized cases—several well-established cases are already included—or for semi-realistic cases based on analyses or model forecasts. As the case setup is defined by a single NetCDF file, new cases can be prepared easily by the modification of this file. We demonstrate the usage of the ICON SCM for different idealized cases such as shallow convection, stratocumulus clouds, and radiative transfer. Additionally, the ICON SCM is tested for a semi-realistic case together with an equivalent three-dimensional setup and the large eddy simulation mode of ICON. Such consistent comparisons across the hierarchy of ICON configurations are very helpful for model development. The ICON SCM will be implemented into the operational ICON model and will serve as an additional tool for advancing the development of the ICON model.
This article reviews the most recent results concerning second harmonic generation (SHG) experiments of non-phase matchable and phase matchable powder samples at high pressures and explains the pressure dependence of the intensity of the SHG signal by correlating it to the ratio between the average coherence length and the average particle size. The examples discussed here include pressure-induced structural changes in quartz, ZnO, ice VII and KIO3. It is shown that the second harmonic generation technique is a unique tool for the detection of pressure-induced structural phase transitions. It is laboratory based and allows fast measurements. It is complementary to X-ray diffraction and provides additional information about the presence of an inversion center for unknown or controversially discussed structures at high pressure.
The forest, savanna, and grassland biomes, and the transitions between them, are expected to undergo major changes in the future due to global climate change. Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are very useful for understanding vegetation dynamics under the present climate, and for predicting its changes under future conditions. However, several DGVMs display high uncertainty in predicting vegetation in tropical areas. Here we perform a comparative analysis of three different DGVMs (JSBACH, LPJ-GUESS-SPITFIRE and aDGVM) with regard to their representation of the ecological mechanisms and feedbacks that determine the forest, savanna, and grassland biomes, in an attempt to bridge the knowledge gap between ecology and global modeling. The outcomes of the models, which include different mechanisms, are compared to observed tree cover along a mean annual precipitation gradient in Africa. By drawing on the large number of recent studies that have delivered new insights into the ecology of tropical ecosystems in general, and of savannas in particular, we identify two main mechanisms that need improved representation in the examined DGVMs. The first mechanism includes water limitation to tree growth, and tree–grass competition for water, which are key factors in determining savanna presence in arid and semi-arid areas. The second is a grass–fire feedback, which maintains both forest and savanna presence in mesic areas. Grasses constitute the majority of the fuel load, and at the same time benefit from the openness of the landscape after fires, since they recover faster than trees. Additionally, these two mechanisms are better represented when the models also include tree life stages (adults and seedlings), and distinguish between fire-prone and shade-tolerant forest trees, and fire-resistant and shade-intolerant savanna trees. Including these basic elements could improve the predictive ability of the DGVMs, not only under current climate conditions but also and especially under future scenarios.

This research was conducted in the Rwenzori Region of the Western Branch, East African Rift System (EARS). The EARS is a tectonic structure extending over a length of more than 3000 km from the Afar Triple Junction, in Ethiopia, to Lake Malawi in the south. The Western Rift System is a roughly NE to ENE trending sector of the EARS, which runs along the western boundary of Uganda and the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C). It stretches 2100 km from Nimule, NW on Uganda-Sudan border, extending to Lake Malawi in the SE of Africa. The unusual uplift of the Rwenzori Mountains within an extensional regime and the mechanisms associated with the high frequency of seismic activity in the region was hardly understood and therefore, had remained a subject of contention that needed to be critically addressed in detail. To my knowledge, this was probably the first study to be performed and documented in great depth within the domains of seismic noise variation, seismic anisotropy and b value analyses beneath the Rwenzori Region. After about six years of operation (2006-2012), the seismology group of the RIFTLINK Research Project (www.riftlink.org) acquired a vast amount of high-quality, digital data that were collected using a seismic network of well calibrated seismic equipment. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I, that operated between February 2006 - September 2007, consisted of thirty-two temporary seismic stations, which were selectively spread out in the Rwenzori Region on the Ugandan side, to detect and record extremely weak as well as strong naturally occurring earthquakes. The seismic equipment used included EDL and REFTEK digitizers, which were coupled with Güralp and MARK sensors respectively (REFTEKS: only short-period MARK sensors, EDLs: short-period MARK plus few broadband Güralp Sensors). Exactly 22375 earthquakes were recorded. The data were processed using the SEISAN software package. About 14413 earthquakes were carefully localized using the velocity model of Bram (1975) that implements a Vp=Vs ratio fixed at 1.74. Phase II, that extended between 2009-2012 consisted of thirty-two seismic stations, which were spread out around the Rwenzori Mountains, both on the Ugandan side and the neighboring D.R.C. Only Taurus digitizers that were coupled with Trillium sensors were used in the D.R.C. On the Ugandan side however, both EDL and Taurus digitizers, which were coupled with Trillium and Güralp sensors were used. ...
During the Late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic the Earth experienced prolonged climatic cooling most likely caused by decreasing volcanic activity and atmospheric CO2 levels. However, the causes and mechanisms of subsequent major global warming culminating in the late Paleocene to Eocene greenhouse climate remain enigmatic. We present deep and intermediate water Nd-isotope records from the North and South Atlantic to decipher the control of the opening Atlantic Ocean on ocean circulation and its linkages to the evolution of global climate. The marked convergence of Nd-isotope signatures 59 million years ago indicates a major intensification of deep-water exchange between the North and South Atlantic, which coincided with the turning point of deep-water temperatures towards early Paleogene warming. We propose that this intensification of Atlantic overturning circulation in concert with increased atmospheric CO2 from continental rifting marked a climatic tipping point contributing to a more efficient distribution of heat over the planet.
The oceans at the time of the Cenomanian–Turonian transition were abruptly perturbed by a period of bottom-water anoxia. This led to the brief but widespread deposition of black organic-rich shales, such as the Livello Bonarelli in the Umbria–Marche Basin (Italy). Despite intensive studies, the origin and exact timing of this event are still debated. In this study, we assess leading hypotheses about the inception of oceanic anoxia in the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world by providing a 6 Myr long astronomically tuned timescale across the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary. We procure insights into the relationship between orbital forcing and the Late Cretaceous carbon cycle by deciphering the imprint of astronomical cycles on lithologic, physical properties, and stable isotope records, obtained from the Bottaccione, Contessa and Furlo sections in the Umbria–Marche Basin. The deposition of black shales and cherts, as well as the onset of oceanic anoxia, is related to maxima in the 405 kyr cycle of eccentricity-modulated precession. Correlation to radioisotopic ages from the Western Interior (USA) provides unprecedented age control for the studied Italian successions. The most likely tuned age for the base of the Livello Bonarelli is 94.17 ± 0.15 Ma (tuning 1); however, a 405 kyr older age cannot be excluded (tuning 2) due to uncertainties in stratigraphic correlation, radioisotopic dating, and orbital configuration. Our cyclostratigraphic framework suggests that the exact timing of major carbon cycle perturbations during the Cretaceous may be linked to increased variability in seasonality (i.e. a 405 kyr eccentricity maximum) after the prolonged avoidance of seasonal extremes (i.e. a 2.4 Myr eccentricity minimum). Volcanism is probably the ultimate driver of oceanic anoxia, but orbital periodicities determine the exact timing of carbon cycle perturbations in the Late Cretaceous. This unites two leading hypotheses about the inception of oceanic anoxia in the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world.
The organic rich Livello Bonarelli formed as a result of oxygen deficiency and carbonate dissolution in the oceans during the Cenomanian/Turonian (C/T) transition. During this Ocean Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2), a combination of factors caused increased productivity, incomplete decomposition of organic matter and widespread deposition of black shales. Although these sediments are extensively studied, the exact extent, cause, timing and duration of oceanic anoxia are debated (Sinton and Duncan, 1997; Mitchell et al., 2008). Contrasting causal mechanisms have been suggested, including stratification of the water column (Lanci et al., 2010) versus intensification of the hydrological cycle driving a dynamic ocean circulation (Trabucho-Alexandre et al., 2010). Studies on trace-elemental and (radiogenic) isotope compositions of Cenomanian marine successions have suggested a volcanic origin of OAE2, by delivering nutrients to the semi-enclosed proto-North Atlantic (Zheng et al., 2013, and references therein; Du Vivier et al., 2014). Deciphering the importance of volcanic and oceanographic processes requires tight constraints on their relative timing. Regularly occurring black cherts and shales below the Livello Bonarelli demonstrate that oceanic conditions in the Umbria-Marche Basin were punctuated by episodes of regional anoxia from the mid-Cenomanian onwards. Their hierarchical stacking pattern suggests an orbital control on the deposition of organic rich horizons (Mitchell et al., 2008; Lanci et al., 2010). Stable carbon isotope data reveal that long-term 15 variations in eccentricity paced the carbon cycle (Sprovieri et al., 2013) and sea level changes (Voigt et al., 2006) of the Late Cretaceous. Here we investigate the role of orbital forcing on climate and the carbon cycle, and, specifically, on organic-rich sedimentation prior, during, and after OAE2.
We also explore the potential for establishing an anchored astrochronology for the C/T interval in Europe. Recent improvements in the astronomical solution (La2011; Laskar et al., 2011b) and in the intercalibration of radiometric and astronomical dating techniques (Kuiper et al., 2008; Renne et al., 2013) allow the extension of the astronomical time scale into the Cretaceous. The C/T boundary in the Western Interior (USA) has been dated at 93.90 ± 0.15 Ma by intercalibration of radio-isotopic and astrochronologic time scales (Meyers et al., 2012b). Also, reinterpretation of proxy records spanning the C/T interval seems to resolve discrepancies in reported durations of the OAE2 (Sageman et al., 2006; Meyers et al., 2012a). The well-documented Italian rhythmic successions, reference sections for climatic processes in the Tethyan realm, need to be tied in with the absolute time scale. Biostratigraphic correlation to radioisotopically-dated ash beds in the Western Interior is complicated by the provinciality of faunas and floras. However, δ13C stratigraphy provides a reliable correlation tool (Gale et al., 2005) and we present a new 40Ar/39Ar age for the Thatcher bentonite from the Western Interior occurring within the mid-Cenomanian δ13C event (MCE). This study integrates the well-developed cyclostratigraphy from the Umbria-Marche Basin with radioisotopic ages from the Western Interior and derives a numerical timescale for this critical interval in Earth’s history.

Clastic deposits related to alluvial and estuarine environments sedimented during the early Liassic in the Veillon area (south of Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, Vendée, France). A reptile fauna including various taxa, just known by innumerable footprints, lived in that environment, in rather hot and dry climatic conditions.
Tetra-auricupride, ideally AuCu, represents the only species showing the coexistence of Au with an elevated level of Pt, as in the case of a detrital grain studied structurally for the first time, from an ophiolite-associated placer at Bolshoy Khailyk, western Sayans, Russia. We infer that tetra-auricupride can incorporate as much as ~30 mol. % of a “PtCu” component, apparently without significant modification of the unit cell. The unit-cell parameters of platiniferous tetra-auricupride are: a 2.790(1) Å, c 3.641(4) Å, with c/a = 1.305, which are close to those reported for ordered AuCu(I) in the system Au–Cu, and close also to the cell parameters of tetraferroplatinum (PtFe), which both appear to crystallize in the same space group, P4/mmm. These intermetallic compounds and natural alloys are thus isostructural. The closeness of their structures presumably allows Pt to replace Au atoms so readily. The high extent of Cu + Au enrichment is considered to be a reflection of geochemical evolution and buildup in levels of the incompatible Cu and Au with subordinate Pt in a remaining volume of melt at low levels of fO2 and fS2 in the system.
