夏季闽浙沿岸上升流的数值研究

将闽浙沿岸作为研究海区,采用σ坐标下三维斜压非线性的浅海陆架数值模式研究风、边界流(台湾暖流、黑潮、长江冲淡水)、潮及地形等动力因子对上升流形成的影响。结果得出：西南季风是影响夏季闽浙沿岸近海岸区域上升流形成的重要因子;台湾暖流对闽浙沿岸上升流的形成起主要作用：黑潮对台湾岛以东海域上升流的形成影响较大;长江冲淡水不利于夏季闽浙沿岸上升流的形成,尤其是浙江沿岸;地形对闽浙沿岸上升流的形成作用较显著;M^2分潮对闽浙近海岸区域及台湾澎佳屿附近海域上升流的形成影响较大;本文在对夏季闽浙沿岸海区水文结构的模拟中,同样得出夏季沿岸的低温高盐区与本文所计算出的三个较强的上升中心一致。     

浙江沿岸春季上升流的数值研究

采用三维斜压非线性数值模式ROMS(Regional Ocean Modeling System),在浙江沿岸特殊地形的基础上综合考虑风场、台湾暖流、潮流以及长江径流等可变因子,对春季浙江沿岸上升流进行了数值研究。研究结果表明,浙江沿岸春季存在上升流,且上升流以带状分布在浙江近岸海域,在渔山列岛附近(28.40°N,122.00°E)以及舟山群岛附近(30.70°N,122.60°~123.00°E)存在2个上升流中心。风、台湾暖流和潮动力是影响浙江沿岸春季上升流的重要因子,其中风和台湾暖流对浙江沿岸整条上升流带均有影响;潮动力仅对28.60°N 纬度线以北至舟山群岛附近的上升流以及2个上升流中心的强度存在影响;长江径流对2个上升流中心、舟山群岛及长江口附近的上升流有一定影响。通过对浙江沿岸海域流场的分析可以发现,舟山群岛附近底层各等深线上水体向岸运动的速度比周围海域的大,跨越底层各等深线向上涌升的趋势更明显,间接反映了舟山群岛附近的上升流强度相对较强。对于舟山群岛附近的上升流而言,30 m深度以浅的海域,科氏力、水平平流作用与垂直粘性力是上升流形成的主要动力, 30 m深度以深的海域,上升流形成的主要动力为科氏力与压强梯度力,此时水平平流作用和垂直粘性力对上升流的影响较弱。     

闽浙沿岸上升流的数值模拟

本文将闽浙沿岸作为研究海区,采用坐标下三维斜压非线性的浅海陆架模式,综合考虑风、边界流(台湾暖流、黑潮、长江冲淡水)及地形等动力因子对上升流形成的影响,较好地模拟了闽浙沿岸上升流的分布。得出夏季闽浙沿岸近海岸区域有三个比较强的上升流中心,分别位于2520′N,12000′E、2640′N,12015′E、2720′N,12045′E附近,并且在对闽浙沿岸水文结构的模拟中,同样得出夏季沿岸的低温高盐区与计算出的三个较强的上升中心一致。冬季沿岸上升流的强度和范围都明显减弱,但在2520′N,12000′E和2600′N,12030′E及2830′~3000′N,12200′E附近仍有相对较强的上升流存在。     

风和台湾暖流引起东海沿岸上升流数值计算

运用三维数值模型,首先计算了夏季风和台湾暖流引起的东海沿岸上升流。结果表明,风和台湾暖流的作用都可产生顺岸呈带状分布的上升流,风生上升流在２０ｍ至３０ｍ水层速度较大,其值一般为１．０×１０－３ｃｍ／ｓ;而台湾暖流形成的上升流则在３０ｍ以下速度较大,其值在浙南和闽北一般为１．０×１０－３ｃｍ／ｓ,在舟山近海为０．５×１０－３ｃｍ／ｓ。此外,运用Ｅｕｌｅｒｉａｎ－Ｌａｇｒａｎｇｉａｎ方法数值探讨了东海沿岸上升流区海水的源地。逆追踪结果表明,潮因子和风因子对沿岸上升流的贡献都是局地的,即仅能将上升流区附近下层的海水带到沿岸上层;台湾暖流则可将台湾海峡北口的深层水带到闽浙沿岸上层,使闽浙沿岸出现低温、高盐水。     

浙江和琼东沿岸上升流的成因分析

本文用相关和对比分析的方法分别对浙江和琼东沿岸上升流形成原因作了进一步分析。结果表明,浙江沿岸上升流与台湾暖流的相关关系较之与风的相关关系更为密切。上升流的月际和年际间变化趋势与台湾暖流的变化趋势基本一致,结合浙江沿岸海底地形特征,本文认为,台湾暖流与地形的共同作用是该上升流形成的主要因子;风的影响一般不是主要的。关于琼东沿岸上升流,由于它与琼东沿岸西南风出现频率的月间变化趋势相当一致,从而进一步证实,该上升流主要由西南风作用形成。     

福建沿岸上升流数值研究Ⅱ.台湾海峡上升流的三维数值模拟

用有限差分法结合新sine-σ坐标变换和三次样条函数性质,建立了适用于台湾海峡上升流计算的三维数值模型.为考察海峡内潮、风、北上的海峡暖流和地形等因子对上升流形成的影响,设计了多种实验方案.结果表明,潮的非线性效应对海峡内上升流的形成有相当重要的影响.潮流和海峡暖流的存在是台湾浅滩上升流形成的主要原因,也是非季风期福建沿岸上升流形成之主因.西南季风盛行期,福建沿岸上升流得以加强,范围扩大,台湾浅滩上升流中心位置南移;东北季风期,福建沿岸上升流在上、中层基本消失,但海坛岛和东山岛近岸下层仍有上升运动存在,台湾浅滩上升流出现范围向北扩展.由于东北风的连续吹刮,台湾西岸亦出现了范围较窄的上升流迹象.计算还表明,海峡内各上升流有明显的季节性和区域性差异.风对海峡内上升流的中、上层结构起主导作用,而潮和海峡暖流则对中、下层上升流的形成起支配作用,因而导致上升流垂向结构的上下异性.     

长江口及其邻近海区环流和温、盐结构动力学研究Ⅱ.环流的基本特征

利用POM模型，以研究海区的海面风应力、温度和盐度资料作为海面边界条件，以与外海界面处的温度和盐度资料作为侧向液边界条件，并考虑长江径流、台湾暖流和东海沿岸流的影响，对长江口及其邻近海区各季节的三维斜压环流和温、盐结构进行了数值模拟。环流的数值结果表明，冬季和秋季研究海区的水平环流主要由长江径流、东海沿岸流、台湾暖流、杭州湾环流和沿岸流与台湾暖流之间的气旋和反气旋涡构成；东海沿岸流与长江径流顺岸南下，随着自北往南岸界地形坡度的增大，其流幅变窄，流速增强；台湾暖流沿陡坡及其外缘蜿蜒北上，随着自南往北水深的变浅，其流幅由宽变窄继而又由窄变宽，流速却一直由强变弱。冬季和秋季海区纬度断面垂直环流的总趋势由近岸向外海流动，海底地形变化缓慢区离岸流产生波动，海底地形变化显著的陡坡区离岸流产生剧烈振荡而生成强升降流。春季和夏季研究海区的水平环流主要由长江径流与东海沿岸流汇合流、台湾暖流、杭州湾环流、舟山群岛附近及长江径流和东海沿岸流汇合流与台湾暖流之间的气旋和反气旋涡构成；长江径流和台湾暖流平行北上并在长江口以北产生顺时针偏转。由海区水平环流特征和变化趋势证实，春季长江冲淡水已开始向东北偏转，夏季冲淡水的偏转程度、伸展距离和扩展范围都更甚于春季；春季在长江口近岸存在弱上升流，夏季长江口外的陡坡区出现下降流，而长江口以北和以南的陡坡区出现上升流。     

2000年8月长江口外海区冲淡水和羽状锋的观测

采用CTD、多参数环境监测系统 YSI等仪器设备 ,于 2 0 0 0年 8月在长江口外海区对长江冲淡水结构、羽状锋等进行了现场观测。 2 0 0 0年 8月长江冲淡水出口门后 ,朝东北偏北流动 ,而当年 8月为长江径流量偏小的月份。通过动力分析指出了近口门段长江冲淡水分布类型与径流量的关系。长江冲淡水主流在近口门附近朝东北偏北扩展后 ,在科氏力作用下朝东南扩展 ,在转向区域为沿水下河谷北上的高盐台湾暖流水。高盐的台湾暖流水和长江冲淡水混合 ,生成口外羽状锋 ,强度大 ,阻挡了长江冲淡水向东扩展 ,并使冲淡水在当年径流量偏小情况下朝东北偏北运动。部分台湾暖流水在中下层能穿越长江口外而向北流动。羽状锋主要存在于长江口外 1 2 2 .6°E附近的 1 5m水层之上。在浙江沿岸、长江口外水下低谷西侧、吕泗近岸存在着上升流现象     

东海和南黄海夏季环流的斜压模式

基于拉格朗日余流及其输运过程的一种三维空间弱非线性理论，引进了黑潮边界力及长江径流，给出了东海和南黄海的夏季环流及上升流区的分布。计算结果表明：在黑潮西侧存在着台湾－对马暖流系统；进入朝鲜海峡的对马暖流来自台湾暖流、黑潮、东海混合水和西朝鲜沿岸流；黄海暖流主要来源于东海混合水，表面有部分来自对马暖流；闽浙沿岸存在上升流区且构成一带状区域；在长江口外、东海东北部和陆坡上也存在在上升流式；陆坡处上升流     

长江冲淡水转向原因的探讨

本文认为东海本身所存在的流场、风场和压力场是影响和控制长江冲淡水运移的环境因子,并将这些因子引入流轴运动方程。 台湾暖流、沿岸流和风海流给长江冲淡水一个推力,使其流轴运移方向夏天向左偏,冬天向右偏。黑潮控制着长江冲淡水的扩展。风的效应由直接和间接效应组成,其综合效应相当重要,不可忽略。     

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.     

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。     

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.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.

Estimation of Sediment Properties during Benthic Impact Experiments

Sediment properties, such as water content and density, have been used to estimate the dry and wet weights, as well as the volume of sediment recovered and discharged, during benthic impact experiments conducted in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The estimates show that the weights of dry (355-1332 t) and wet sediment (1651-4888 t) recovered during the experiments, are not only a function of the total duration and distance covered during the experiment, but also depend on water content and density of the sediment. Estimation of dry sediment and its volumetric ratio in the discharge, are key parameters for calculating the discharged volume. The estimated volume of wet sediment recovered (1427-4049 m 3 ) as well as discharged (2693-6951 m 3 ) during the experiments, provide important inputs to evaluate the sediment resettlement and migration. Using these estimates, the average depth of excavation on the seafloor, can also been calculated. However, the stages of sediment recovery and discharge are expressed differently in some of the experiments. In order to standardize these, different stages have been identified, and definitions of certain terms have been suggested, for use in the future. The methods of calculating different properties, as well as weight and volume of discharged sediment are described in the paper for use in other applications concerning deep-sea discharges.
