东海海域典型赤潮水体反射光谱模拟研究

东海原甲藻(Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu)是我国东海海域的典型赤潮藻种,其在水体中通常呈垂直非均匀分布,并存在季节性和日内的垂直迁移现象。本文通过量化垂直迁移过程中东海原甲藻的分布状态,利用Hydrolight软件数值模拟各状态下的水体反射光谱,研究其光谱特征和变化规律。利用叶绿素浓度高斯垂向模型表征东海原甲藻在水体中的垂直分布,结合东海近岸海域二类水体的生物光学模型,模拟得到垂直迁移过程中东海原甲藻赤潮水体的反射光谱。对比分析叶绿素浓度垂向分布参数(背景叶绿素浓度、甲藻主体水层厚度、水体总生物量和叶绿素浓度峰值深度)对水体反射光谱的影响。研究结果表明,在东海原甲藻从次表层向表层垂直向上迁移过程中,水体反射光谱数值在蓝绿波段(400—570nm)减小,在黄红波段(570—720nm)增大,特别是在叶绿素荧光效应波段(680nm)处的变化尤为明显。

渤海湾海水光谱特性的数值分析

自然界各种物体，都有表征其自然属性的光谱特性。地物的光谱特性是遥感图象定性判读的依据之一，它作为一种遥感信息也直接用于定量测定和制图。 海水中悬浮物质的数量和性质影响海水的颜色和海水的光谱特性。反之，根据海水的光谱特性可以测定水中悬浮物质的数量和性质。1974年， S. D. Duntley首先从海洋叶绿素的光谱效应，提出根据海水的光谱反射率曲线，用卫星传感器测定水中叶绿素a 浓度的理论。1978年， R. W. Johnson 建立了航空遥感的光谱数据与沿岸带海洋叶绿素a 浓度之间的数学关系，并绘制了叶绿素a的分布图。1979年， R. W. Johnson建立了光谱数据与悬浮泥沙含量之间的数学关系，并绘制了悬浮泥沙的定量分布图，等等。本文的目的即是要建立一种方法，用国产101W光谱辐射计记录的遥感数据，计算海域悬浮泥沙、叶绿素a 浓度、水色等水质参数。 1980年5月16日至19日，由中国科学院组织，有中国科学院海洋研究所、国家海洋局第一海洋研究所、第二海洋研究所、交通部天津水运科学研究所、水利部天津水利科学研究所等单位参加，在天津塘沽的海河和蓟运河口进行津、渤地区第一次环境污染航空遥感监测联合试验。在此次试验中用机载101W光谱辐射计记录海水的光谱辐射曲线，作者以此计算海水的光谱反射率曲线，用逐次回归分析法建立海洋实测数据(悬浮泥沙、叶绿素a浓度、水色等)与海水光谱反射率数据之间的数学关系。实验基本是成功的，由回归方程计算的结果与海洋实测数据之间的相关系数约为0.7。如果对研究海域的每一个子域的辐射值作光谱扫瞄，作出定量的分布图也是可行的。     

赤潮水体红光波段反射光谱的模拟及形成机理

赤潮水体红光波段反射光谱中"荧光峰"的红移现象一直备受研究者的广泛关注。本文基于前向辐射传输模型,通过2011年7月9日在大连湾海域实测的赤潮水体吸收系数和后向散射系数模拟了弹性散射作用下的反射光谱,发现在未考虑叶绿素荧光的情况下,红光波段仍存在显著的反射峰,且随叶绿素浓度的增加,反射峰出现红移现象;加入叶绿素荧光后,模拟光谱红光波段反射峰的位置与高度出现不同程度的改变,与实测光谱的更接近;对比模拟光谱与实测光谱可确定,红光波段的反射峰由吸收、后向散射以及叶绿素荧光共同控制,而文献中通常提到的"荧光峰"红移实由浮游藻类红光波段的强吸收作用导致,与叶绿素荧光无关,因此反射峰红移的说法更为合理。     

盐胁迫对大米草反射光谱和叶绿素浓度的影响

为促进海岸带生态系统的完整性和健康可持续发展,本文以滨海湿地盐沼植被大米草为研究对象,进行不同盐分浓度(10,20,30)胁迫处理,并对比分析不同盐分含量对各个测定期内的大米草叶片反射光谱和叶绿素浓度的影响。结果表明:大米草叶片叶绿素浓度在高盐胁迫下变化最显著,然后依次是中盐胁迫、低盐胁迫。大米草叶片反射光谱在不同的盐分胁迫下,曲线变化主要体现在绿光波段的反射峰和680nm附近的抬升程度;叶绿素浓度越低,抬升越明显。光谱特征参量D725/D702,D715/D702,D725/D722,BmSR,mSR,mND,NDI,DD的变化趋势与叶片叶绿素浓度演变趋势一致;胁迫程度不同,光谱特征参量的变化幅度也不同。该研究可为大田试验条件下探讨滨海湿地盐沼植被盐分胁迫反射光谱响应机理提供理论参考。

以粤港澳大湾区中山市及其邻近水域河网水体为试验区, 同步采集现场光谱及水质数据, 研究受测水体的高光谱反射率特征, 并分析非光学活性参数中化学需氧量(COD_Cr)、总磷(TP)浓度与高光谱反射率的相关性。结果显示, 各河流水体光谱反射率主要受悬浮颗粒物和叶绿素a的影响; 在500~680nm波段范围内, 水体光谱反射率大小与COD_Cr、TP浓度呈负相关关系; 与单波段相比, 特定波段的反射率比值与COD_Cr、TP浓度值的相关性较高, 与COD_Cr、TP浓度值相关性最高的反射率比值波段组合分别为R₆₇₅/R₇₉₄、R₆₉₀/R₈₁₅。选择上述波段组合建立的水质反演模型具有良好的估算精度, 模型估算平均相对误差分别为27.2%、32.1%, 表明高光谱技术在珠江口河网水体非光学活性参数COD_Cr、TP浓度反演上具有较大的应用潜景。     

盐胁迫下滨海湿地碱蓬叶绿素含量的高光谱识别

植物冠层反射光谱与叶片叶绿素含量密切相关。以滨海湿地生态修复的重要植物碱蓬为研究对象,采用盆栽控盐试验研究了碱蓬在盐胁迫条件下叶片叶绿素含量以及冠层反射光谱的响应特征,利用单因素方差分析(one-way ANOVA)和事后检验(Dunnett)相结合的方法分析了叶片叶绿素含量与一阶微分冠层光谱反射率之间的响应关系,以对碱蓬叶片叶绿素含量敏感的波段构建比值光谱指数和归一化光谱指数,并识别出对碱蓬叶片叶绿素含量响应显著的高光谱指数。研究结果表明:50 mmol/L盐胁迫下,碱蓬叶片叶绿素含量最高,当盐胁迫大于50 mmol/L时会抑制碱蓬的光合作用;在可见光波段范围(400-700 nm),中度(300-400 mmol/L)与高度(600 mmol/L)盐胁迫下,碱蓬冠层光谱反射率随叶片叶绿素含量的增加而降低;在不同盐胁迫条件下,543 nm、645-647 nm、663 nm、667 nm、669-670 nm、682 nm、686-687 nm等波段处的一阶微分光谱与叶绿素含量的响应最为显著(p0.05);利用反射率差值法确定对碱蓬叶片叶绿素含量敏感的高光谱指数的参数D_(543)、D_(645)、D_(663)、D_(667)、D_(682)、D_(686)、D_(687),发现比值光谱指数D_(543)/D_(663)、D_(543)/D_(682)、D_(645)/D_(663)和归一化光谱指数(D_(543)-D_(667))/(D_(543)+D_(667))、(D_(645)-D_(667))/(D_(645)+D_(667))、(D_(645)-D_(682))/(D_(645)+D_(682))在盐胁迫下对叶片叶绿素含量的响应较为显著(p0.01),多重判定系数r~2均在0.995以上,其中比值光谱指数D_(543)/D_(682)的显著性最好,多重判定系数r~2高达0.998。盐胁迫下碱蓬叶片叶绿素含量的高光谱指数识别可为探讨滨海湿地盐地碱蓬滩退化和生态修复的高光谱响应机理研究提供理论参考。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

Assessing the Validity of Seismo-Acoustic Predictor Equations for Obtaining Seabed and Sub-Surface Sediment Physical Properties

The interdependence between the seismo-acoustic properties of a marine sediment and its geotechnical/physical parameters has been known for many years, and it has been postulated that this should allow the extraction of geotechnical information from seismic data. Though in the literature many correlations have been published for the surficial layer, there is a lack of information for greater sediment depths. In this article, a desktop study on a synthetic seafloor model illustrates how the application of published near-surface prediction equations to subsurface sediments (up to several tens of meters burial depth) can lead to spurious predictions. To test this further, acoustic and geotechnical properties were measured on a number of sediment core samples, some of which were subjected to loading in acoustically-equipped consolidation cells (oedometers) to simulate greater burial depth conditions. For low effective pressures (representing small burial depths extending to around 10 meters subsurface), the general applicability of established relationships was confirmed: the prediction of porosity, bulk density, and mean grain size from acoustic velocity and impedance appears generally possible for the investigated sedimentary environments. As effective pressure increases through, the observed relationships deviate more and more from the established ones for the near-surface area. For the samples tested in this study, in some instances increasing pressure even resulted in decreasing velocities. There are several possible explanations for this abnormal behavior, including the presence of gas, overconsolidation, or bimodal grain size distribution. The results indicate that an appropriate depth correction must be introduced into the published prediction equations in order to obtain reliable estimates of physical sediment properties for greater subsurface depths.     

A Review of Some Environmental Issues Affecting Marine Mining

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.     

Increased Particle Fluxes at the INDEX Site Attributable to Simulated Benthic Disturbance

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Determination of In Situ Sediment Shear Strength from Advanced Piston Corer Pullout Forces

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.     

Interannual Sea Level Variations and Annual Tides in the Northwestern Pacific

Specific properties of the interannual sea level variations and annual tides in the Northwestern Pacific were studied. Several tide stations were monitored. The monthly mean sea level for the year of 1995 was analyzed at each tide station. A seismic event in 1995, some tectonic activity around the subject area, and the Kuroshio (the oceanic western boundary current) may possibly contaminate results which would have occurred from the astronomical annual tide alone.     

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Coastal Lagoon Bacterioplankton and Picophytoplankton: Fixation and Storage Effects

The effect of different fixation and storage protocols on the flow cytometric (FCM) simultaneous analysis of bacterioplankton and phytoplankton in coastal seawater samples (Mediterranean coastal lagoons) was investigated. FCM measurements (cell number, fluorescence and scatter characteristics) were obtained through DAPI staining. Three fixatives [glutaraldehyde (GA), formaldehyde (FA) and paraformaldehyde (PFA)] and two storage (3 months duration) methods (5 °C and −196 °C) were tested. Two dominant populations were detected in studied samples: bacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton. Adding fixatives (2% final concentration) appears necessary to obtain FCM exhaustive counts of all the bacteria and phytoplanktonic cells. This was related to the permeation effect of fixatives which allowed a better DAPI staining of the cells. Maximum fluorescence, i.e. optimal staining of the cells was obtained with FA or PFA, and significant lower fluorescences with GA. Fixed samples stored at 5 °C induced rapid cell loss. Only storage in liquid nitrogen of samples fixed with FA or PFA, allows mid-term (≥4 months) preservation of bacteria or picophytoplankton cell numbers, and limited evolution of DAPI-induced fluorescence and scatter characteristics.
