BDRM理论在双轴海洋声道中的应用

由于表面声道与深海声道间的耦合效应,声波在双轴海洋声道中的传播比较复杂,因此求解双轴海洋声道中的声场就比较困难。在 WKBZ 本征函数的基础上,推导出了参考界面相位修正的一致表达式,并将浅海声传播的波束位移射线简正波(BDRM)理论应用于计算双轴海洋声道中的声场,进行了数值模拟并与传统简正波方法进行比较,结果表明应用 BDRM 理论计算的传播损失具有很高的精度和速度,可以对双轴海洋声道内声传播问题进行分析和预报。     

一种基于声速剖面展开的内波监测新方法

声速剖面时空分布的获取是利用声学方法监测内波的核心问题。在反演算法中，声速剖面通常是采用展开的方式用若干个参数来表示的。这就导致了有时很难从反演结果中直接获得内波的相关信息。本文的目标是找到一种通过展开系数直接获取内波特性的方法。通过推导内波水动力方程，可以从较少的声速剖面样本中提取出水动力简正模态（Hydrodynamic Normal Modes，HNMs）作为声速剖面展开的正交基。较之广泛采用的正交经验函数（Empirical Orthogonal Functions, EOFs），HNMs直接与内波活动相关，具有更明确的物理含义。然后，基于HNMs对声速剖面的时间序列进行展开，获得展开系数。最后，从前两阶展开系数的时间导数中可以获取内波活动的信息。将方法应用于受内波影响而具有明显时空扰动的南海北陆架区温度链数据，结果表明：只用前两节模态就可以在较好的精度范围内重构声速剖面。前两阶系数的时间导数具有独特的双震荡结构可以用于探测内孤立波。从展开系数也可以获得幅度以及波长信息。理论推导和实验分析证明了本文方法在内波监测中的有效性。HNMs方法使用便利且对样本的依赖性较小，可以在内波活跃海域作为EOFs的有效补充用于声速剖面的展开。

基于快速行进算法的南海内波传播模型

南海内波水平二维空间位置的估计和预测具有应用价值。一个简单而精确的估计南海非线性内孤立波地理位置的经验模型已由Jackson(2009)提出,该模型将快速行进算法应用于海洋内波传播并给出内波相速度与深度关系的经验模式函数。本文尝试用KdV方程计算非线性内波相速度,以探讨海水层化对相速度和内波传播的影响。初步结果表明,海水层化的时空差异在内波传播过程中不可忽略。本文进一步将考虑海水层化的非线性内波相速度代替文献中的经验模式函数,建立不依赖于现场实测数据的基于快速行进算法的南海内波传播模型,并给出计算个例。本文模型的计算结果从个例来看与文献一致。     

海洋内波发展演变数值试验

利用二维非静力数值模式,对海洋跃层中剪切背景流下内波做了线性和非线性模式的数值试验,结果表明:在本文所取的初始场和环境参数下,海洋内波密度扰动大值中心始终出现在密度跃层附近,被跃层所俘获,这与实际观测相一致;线性情况下,流函数扰动中心与密度扰动中心有很好地配合,密度扰动正、负中心附近分别存在流函数扰动的正、负单圈环流中心,且单圈环流垂直贯穿整个水体。线性模式中内波扰动强度在调整适应期后一直呈指数增长发展,剪切背景流是不稳定的;而非线性情况则呈准线性增长发展,以后增长停止而进入稳定期,且后者的增长也比前者要慢;非线性效应抑制了内波增长而使之趋于稳定,具有维稳作用。随着积分时间增加,线性模型中内波波包波形基本不变。波包的负、正振幅大体相同,整个波包宽度也基本不变,仅振幅有所增长;内波波包传播速度与其振幅无关,且传播速度基本不变。非线性情况下内波波包的形状则发生改变,其负、正振幅之比越来越大,波峰前的陡降也越来越强;并且内波传播速度与其振幅和波形有关,通常非线性效应越强,内波传播越慢。从本文中海洋内波的波长、周期和传播速度来看,该内波属于高频内波(短周期内波),性质为内重力惯性波。

太平洋不同海水层结条件下的内波波致声场起伏研究

基于Argo资料对太平洋海域海水层结进行分类区划,利用内波动力学方法对内波致声起伏进行数值求解,对不同层结状况下的内波致声起伏进行模拟试验。结果表明:垂直方向海水层结的不均匀和跃层的存在,使海洋内波斜压模态受到了歪曲变形。层结峰的个数和深度与声速起伏存在很好的对应关系。有内波的声传播特征总体上与没有内波时的相似。不同层结情况下,声场对内波扰动的响应不一致。     

南海北部非线性内波的特征研究及生成模拟

海洋内波由于其对海洋资源、海洋军事和工程的重要性而成为海洋学中的前沿课题。文中基于SAR遥感数据,结合KDV方程和Bragg散射机制反演内波波速、半振幅宽度、深度和振幅等动力学参数。对南海北部的非线性内波进行案例研究,由吕宋海峡传来的内波遇到东沙岛发生破裂,一部分继续向西传播,另一部分向西北沿等深线垂直方向传播。波向作为一个重要指标可以有效反映内波传播变化特征,文中以方向谱模型计算同一潮周期内内波传播的方向变化,并验证了180°方向模糊问题是可以解决的。同时内波传播将次表层海水和叶绿素从下层抬升,叶绿素浓度最高值达到0.35 mg/m~3,随着内波传播在0.08~0.35 mg/m~3范围内波动并逐渐趋于背景浓度值。研究使用海底地形与潮流数值合成的OTIS(Oregon State University Tidal Inversion Software)模型对南海北部大陆架区域的内波进行生成模拟,结果表明:当暖水流经吕宋海峡进入南海北部,body forcing1.5 m~2/s~2的海域能够激发内波的生成,其中兰屿岛和恒春半岛等海底山脊起到了关键作用。     

海洋内波的产生与分布

海洋内波是指在海水稳定层化的海洋中产生的、最大振幅出现在海洋内部的波动。由于是产生于海洋内部 ,内波的恢复力主要是约化重力 ,这是它不同于表面波的一个重要特征。此外 ,还有许多其他不同特征 ,例如 :内潮波的振幅远大于表面潮波的振幅 ,但速度却要小得多 ;内波的群速度方向与其相速度方向几乎垂直 ;内波不仅在水平方向和时间上存在着固有结构 ,而且在垂直方向上也存在着特定的结构等。方欣华、王景明１９８６年对内波在时间和空间尺度分布特征上的一些典型值做了介绍。尽管海洋内波的频率范围相当广泛 ,但已有的多数研究工作主要集中…     

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.
