研究室BBQ(春の陣)

アップが遅くなりました。。。

今回の春の陣のBBQリーダー:D1の坂下です。

4月30日に恒例のBBQ(春の陣)が横山先生宅で開催されました。
総勢20名以上の大規模なものになりました!!

以下写真
BBQの前には10人くらいでビール工場見学にいきました。
また行きたいな〜

BBQ全体の様子。どんどん規模が大きくなっています!

スティーブ夫妻による特製チキン!おいしかったです!!

池田さんによる本の読み聞かせタイム。BBQの恒例になりそうです。

北西オーストラリアのNingaroo Reefにおいて総生産速度、石灰化、栄養塩の摂取を測定。季節間の水温変動が1℃と小さく、総生産速度、石灰化、栄養塩はそれほど顕著には変化しない。日周期では光量というよりはむしろpH(アラゴナイトの不飽和度)と栄養塩が石灰化を律速している。

これまで観測の対象とされていなかった、南極周辺の小規模(100-2800m)の氷山を高解像度の高度計で人工衛星から観測(2002-2010年)。かなりの量の淡水が南大洋に供給されている模様。巨大氷山とともに流出するものもあれば、小規模の氷山のみが流出する地域もあり、地域的・時間的な変動が大きい。

Precipitation variability in the winter rainfall zone of South Africa during the last 1400 yr linked to the austral westerlies
J. C. Stager, P. A. Mayewski, J. White, B. M. Chase, F. H. Neumann, M. E. Meadows, C. D. King, and D. A. Dixon
温暖化した世界では偏西風が極側に移動することが予測されているが、南半球の古気候記録はニュージーランドや南米などに限定されており、評価の妨げとなっている。堆積物中の珪藻の変化から過去1400年間の南アフリカの降水量を復元。湿潤期は偏西風が赤道側に移動した時期に対応し、フンボルト海流の変化を通して南極周辺の子午面循環に影響したと考えられる。しかしながら、ニュージーランドや南米の記録との食い違いも明らかに見られ、南半球全体の記録としてみなすには難しい。

昼間のフリスビー


今日は横山研の初めてのランチタイムの運動でした。昼食後に横山先生、オブラクタ、中村、石輪は、柏の葉公園の「桜広場」でフリスビーをやってきました。フリスビーはアメリカで誕生した不思議なスポーツの一つです。


やっぱり、ちょっと難しいね。
