A novel marine mesocosm facility to study global warming, water quality, and ocean acidification
We describe a completely randomizable flow-through outdoor mesocosm for climate change and ecotoxicology studies that was built with inexpensive materials. The 16 raceway tanks allow up to 6× water renewal per hour, avoiding changes in natural abiotic seawater conditions. We use an open-source hardware board (Arduino) that was adapted to control heaters and an innovative CO 2 injection system. ...
متن کاملUsing random walk models to simulate the vertical distribution of particles in a turbulent water column
Random walk simulation has the potential to be an extremely powerful tool in the ~nvestigation of turbulence in environmental processes. However, care must be taken in applylng such simulat~ons to the mohon of particles in turbulent marine systems where turbulent diffusivity IS conlmonly spatially non-uniform. The problems associated with this nonuniformity are far from negligible and have been...
متن کاملAn Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with an adaptively corrected method of characteristics to simulate variably saturated water flow
A relatively simple method of characteristics is developed to simulate onedimensional variably saturated water flow. The method uses the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to separate the governing flow equation into “convection” and “diffusion” parts, which are solved with the method of characteristics and the conventional finite element method, respectively. The method of characteristics combines a...
متن کاملImplications of elevated CO 2 on pelagic carbon fluxes in an Arctic mesocosm study – an elemental mass balance approach
Recent studies on the impacts of ocean acidification on pelagic communities have identified changes in carbon to nutrient dynamics with related shifts in elemental stoichiometry. In principle, mesocosm experiments provide the opportunity of determining temporal dynamics of all relevant carbon and nutrient pools and, thus, calculating elemental budgets. In practice, attempts to budget mesocosm e...
متن کاملVibration Characteristics of an Aps Lab Facility
The vibratory behavior of a lab facility located in Building 401 of the Advanced Photon Source site at Argonne National Laboratory is summarized. Measurements of ambient vibration indicate that acceptable displacement levels are usually maintained (rms value below 0.1 microns) for the measured frequency range, above 0.2 Hz. An exception occurs when strong wind conditions excite a horizontal bui...
