The concentration of tissuefree water tritium(TFWT) and organically bound tritium(OBT) in leaves and beans was measured at the end of the exposure. The results indicated that the quasi-equilibrium between the TFWT concentrations in the soybean leaves and the HTO concentration of the ambient air moisture required more than 1 h to be reached. The relative TFWT concentrations in the nighttime represent about 1/2 to 2/3of the concentrations obtained in the day in the leaves compared to about 1/2 to 4/3 in the beans. The relative OBT concentrations under night conditions were about 2/5 to 1/2 of those under day conditions in the leaves, contrary to 1/2–7/10 for the beans. By developing tritium concentration assessment model with a short-term release of atmospheric HTO, we comprehensively considered the plant growth stage and the environmental conditions.展开更多

We use the local equator crossing times of 22:30 and 01:30, respectively, in the analysis of changes, trends and variations on the Arctic region and within 120° sectors. We show increases in the number of days above 0°C and significant increase trends over their decadal periods of March 2000 through 2010 (MODIS Terra) and July 2002 through 2012 (MODIS Aqua). The MODIS Aqua nighttime Arctic land-surface temperature change, +0.2°C ± 0.2°C with P-value of 0.01 indicates a reduction relative to the MODIS Terra nighttime Arctic land-surface temperature change, +1.8°C ± 0.3°C with P-value of 0.01. This reduction is a decadal non-stationary component of the Arctic land-surface temperature changes. The reduction is greatest, -1.3°C ± 0.2°C with P-value of 0.01 in the Eastern Russia— Western North American sector of the Arctic during the July 2002 through 2012.展开更多

Jiaozhou Bay observation data collected from May 1991 to February 1994 were used to analyze the daytime length vs water temperature relationship. Our study showed that daytime length and the variation controlled the cycle of water temperature flunctuation. Should the cyclic variation curve of the daytime length be moved back for two months it would be superimposed with temperature change. The values of daytime length and temperature that calculated in the dynamical model of daytime length lag vs water temperature were consistent with observed values. The light radiation and daytime length in this model determined the photochemistry process and the enzymic catalysis process of phytoplankton photosynthesis. In addition, by considering the effect of the daytime length on water temperature and photosynthesis, we could comprehend the joint effect of daytime length, water temperature, and nutrients, on the spatiotemporal variation of primary production in Jiaozhou Bay.展开更多
