Title Alternative Automated observation of sea surface eddy flux on a cruising ship
FullText URL ESR_7_1.pdf
Author Takahashi, Satoshi| Tsukamoto, Osamu| Ishida, Hiroshi| Yoneyama, Kunio|
Abstract Sea surface eddy fluxes were evaluated with the eddy correlation method including ship motion correction for the wind vector components. Previous ship motion correction algorithm was revised as a simple scheme setting a motion sensor at the same place with the sonic anemometer. This revised eddy flux system was mounted as a routine continuous measurement system on the R/V 'Mirai' of Japan Marine Science and Technology Center. The first cruise was conducted at the tropical weatern Pacific in June 2000. Continuous sea surface fluxes were obtained and the data quality was checked with some parameters. This system is planned to be developed as a automated data processing system including ship motion correction and real-time flux evaluation system. These eddy fluxes can be integrated with the bulk fluxes and radiation fluxes to understand sea surface heat balance over the global ocean.

Title Alternative Relationship between the water quality of three main rivers and geology of Okayama Prafecture
FullText URL ESR_8_1_29.pdf
Author Kinoshita, takuya| Matsuda, Toshihiko|
Abstract Concentrations of inorganic major components (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, ΣFe, AI3+, HCO3, SO4, CI-, NO3, F- and SiO2) were measured in 57 water samples from three main rivers, the Yoshii, Asahi and Takahashi Rivers and their tributaries. The water quality is discussed in relation to the geological environment in the drainage basin of three rivers. The following results were obtained from the investigation. The degree of influence of rocks on the water quality was limestone≫basic rocks>clastic rocks>andesite>rhyolite>gramite. The influence of geology is clear in the riverhead but it is obscure in the downstream. The concentration of each component increases generally from the upper stream to the lower stream but that of SiO2 only decreases in the lower stream. Kaolinite is a stable mineral as a weathering prodouct from the ion compositions of three rivers. In a rough estimation, Yoshii, Asahi and Takahashi Rivers weather 303,000t, 433,000t and 1,033,000t of the rocks respectively from their basins in a year. The syrface of their basins are scraoed off 0.06mm, 0.11mm and 0.15mm respectively in a year.

Title Alternative Trace of the Median Tectonic Line in Mima area, eastern Shikoku
FullText URL ESR_8_1_13.pdf
Author Mizui, Yoshinobu| Tachibana, Toru| Suzuki, shigeyuki|
Abstract Tracing outcrops of shear zone were used to describe the geometry and structure of the Median Tectonic Line in Mima area, eastrn Shikoku. A distinct new fault outcrop was discovered between the Mino and Ikuchi Faults at the northern slope of the Mt. Boso. These two faults are regarded as a single continuous fault. The analysis of surface fabrics of quartz in fault in fault gauge has been carried out to determine relative fault activity events.

Title Alternative Miocene Ukan Formation, Ukan Area, Okayama Prefecture, Southwest Japan
FullText URL ESR_8_1_1.pdf
Author Fujiwara, Takao| Taguchi, Eiji| Suzuki, shigeyuki|
Abstract In this paper, we deal with the Miocene Ukan Formation, sporadically distributed in Ukan-cho, Okayama prefecture, from a viewpoint of analysis of lithology and molluscan assemblages. The Ukan Formation is lithostratigraphically divided into the Suzuoka Conglomerate, Yamagata Muddy Sandstone, Shimoyokomi Sandstone and Conglomerate, Azechi Sandstone and Conglomerate, Tsuneyama Siltstone Members in ascending order. The following 6 molluscan assemblages are recognized. The lower four members and the last member is correlative to the Lower Sandstone and Upper Shale Formation of the Bihoku Group, respectively judging from lithology and fauna. The temporal chages of the above mentioned molluscan assemblages represents that gradual deeping of sea during the depositional period from the Suzuoka Conglomerate and Yamagata Muddy Sandstone Members to the Azechi Sandstone and Conglomerate Member via the Shimoyokomi Sandstone and Conglomerate Member, and abrupt deeping of sea seems to have happened between the Azechi Sandstone and Conglomerate Member and the Tsuneyame Siltstone Member.

Title Alternative A note on dental nomenclature in the Rhinocerotidae
FullText URL earth_science_reports_010_1_33.pdf
Author Fukuchi, Akira|
Abstract The terminology for the molars of rhinoceorses is mainly derived from Osborn (1888). However, there is often confusion surrounding nomenclature of cheek teeth and the measuring point of the teeth. The nomenclature for the teeth of rhinoceroses and the controversy were reviewed. In this paper, I suggest the new nomenclatures that are composed of 24 elements for the upper cheek teeth and 12 ones for the lower ones and I also suggest the measuring points of teeth of the Rhinocerotidae.

Title Alternative Distributions and ages of the Paleogene deposits in the Kibi Plateau Area, and Paleogene paleogeography
FullText URL earth_science_reports_010_1_15.pdf
Author Tanaka, Hajime| Suzuki, Shigeyuki| Hotani, Shu| Yamamoto, Yasuo| Danhara, Tohru|
Abstract The "Kibi Plateau" forms a unique geomorphic province with the gently-sloping and stable continental feature. Gravel deposites called the "Mountain Gravels", are distributed sporadically in the Kibi Plateau, and have been considered Pliocene deposits. However, recent fission-track ages of the tuff beds intercalated in the deposits have indicated that the ago of deposits are Paleogen in the age. So far, fission-track ages (using zircon) of 61 to 65, 55, 37, 34 to 35 and 27 Ma are obtained. Remaining the belt-like distributions of the Paleogene gravelly valley-full deposits suggest that the Kibe Plateau has been keeping as a stable block, and repeated periods of incision followed by sedimentation of valley-fill deposits are occurred in the area during Paleogene period.

Title Alternative Paleoenvironmental Analyses of the Buried Peat Deposit during the mid-Holocene at the Desaki Coast in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, Weatern Japan
FullText URL earth_science_reports_011_1_39.pdf
Author Matsushita, Mariko| Sato, Hiroshi| Suzuki, Shigeyuki| Yukumoto, Koichi| Momohara, Arata| Ueda, Yayoi| Katoh, Shigehiro| Maeda, Yasuo|
Abstract The buried peat deposit was foud in the sand beach on the Desaki coast (Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture), the northeastern coast of Seto Inland Sea. In this study, we performed sulfur and diatom analyses of the deposit. The results were used along with 14C dates and the eruption age (7300 cal BP) of Kikai-Akahoya tephra (K-Ab) to derive sedimentary environments of the deposit. K-Ah was detected just below the peat deposit. At the culmination of the Jomon transgression, the peat deposit had been formed in brackish environments of salt marsh for about 300 years. In order to reconstruct local paleovegetation, we analyzed pollen, wood and plant fossils in the deposit. The results show vegetational transition from a deciduous broadleaved forest mainly of Ouercus subgen. Lepidobalanus to Pinus forest. In spite of the Holocene thermal optimum, the vegetation dominated by Ouercus subgen. Cyclobanopsis was not recognized at the Desaki site, as has been shown in many other regions of regions of western Japan. Ouercus sect. Prinus was replaced by Ouercus sect. Aegilops as the dominant section of Ouercus subgen. Lepidobalanus, suggesting early establishment of traditional rural vegetation of 'Satoyama' in Japan. However, no evidence for human agency has been obtained from the mid-Holocene archaeological sites around the Desaki site. Thus it is more likely that this vegetational transition resulted from the succession caused by natural forces such as ecological disturbance and climatic and/or endemic situations rather than by cultural deforestation.

Title Alternative Paleoceanography of the Eastern Asia from the Last Glacial Maximum to the early Holocene
FullText URL earth_science_reports_011_1_23.pdf
Author Kan, Hironobu|
Abstract A series of marginal seas that are separated from the Pacific Ocean by island arcs developed in Eastern Asia. The environmental property of these marginal seas amplified under a sea-level lowstand during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The Japan Sea was covered by low salinity water during the LGM. At the beginning of the post-glacial sea-level rise, the Oyashio Current firstly flowed into the Japan Sea throught the Tsugaru Strait. The influx of the Tsushima Current started around 10,000 yBP and become vigorously after 8,000 yBP. Meanwhile, the northward migration and influx of the Kuroshio Current into East China Sea started around 10,000 yBP and strengthened after 7,500 yBP. The route alternation of the Kuroshio Current might have contributed to the establishment of the Tsushima Current and acted as a trigger for the drastic environmental changes around the merginal seas in Eastern Asia at the time of the post-glacial sea-level rise.

Title Alternative Increase Rate of fCO2 in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean
FullText URL earth_science_reports_011_1_15.pdf
Author Kondo, Fumiyoshi| Tsukamoto, Osamu| Watanabe, Shuichi|
Abstract In the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean, increase rates of fCO2 in the air and the ocean were evaluated using the CDIAC data set. The fCO2 in the air was increasing about 1.28μatm/year during 1957-1995. This result is almost same as the rate at the Mauna Loa, Hawaii in Tropical Pacific Ocean. The increase rate of fCO2 in the seawater was estimated as 1.64μatm/year. In this study it is found that the increase rate of fCO2 in the seawater is the almost same as that of fCO2 in the air. This reault supports the result on the snapshot analysis of Takahashi et al. (1983) in thr North Atlantic Ocean during 1958-1982. It is smaller than the result including seasonal variation in the Eastern Subtropical Pacific Ocean. These reault indicated that the anthropogenic CO2 in the air has affected fCO2 in seawater through CO2 gas exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. It is found that fCO2 in the seawater has increased in the Eastern Equatiorial Pacific Ocean in spite of the large CO2 source region. It suggested that CO2 source potential has not changed in this ocean durung 1957-1995.
