水面浮油膜光谱测量及光谱特征分析

为深入解析水面浮油膜光谱特征,采用水面以上光谱测量方法,去除太阳直射和天空光两部分反射的影响,获取了珠江口水域不同厚度水面柴油膜光谱信息,对其光谱响应特征和机理进行了分析。结果表明:水面柴油膜光谱对背景水体光谱具有依赖性,但水面柴油膜光谱在可见光波段高于背景水体,且随着油膜厚度增加呈现不断增加的趋势;油膜反射光谱在蓝、紫光区域出现明显反射峰;360~500 nm区域油膜反射率与厚度相关系数大于0.8,有利于油膜厚度的遥感估算。最后指出,水面浮油膜类似于光学薄膜的单层增反膜,导致光谱反射率的增加,在360~420 nm区域的反射峰和石油类物质的荧光性有关。研究结果可为水域溢油污染遥感监测研究提供理论依据。     

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。     

气体吸收对“HY-1A”CCD数据处理的影响分析模拟与瑞利散射的吸收修正

卫星传感器接收到的辐射能量不仅受到大气中分子和气溶胶散射的影响,还受到气体分子吸收的影响.对于可见光和近红外波段的水色遥感,吸收气体主要是臭氧、水汽和氧气,因此若传感器的光谱范围包含了这些气体的吸收波段,则应该在数据处理——计算瑞利、气溶胶反射率和透过率时予以考虑.波段光谱宽度为20 nm(两个近红外波段为40nm)的SeaWiFS在数据处理时主要考虑了臭氧和水汽的影响,并在计算气溶胶反射率时对受氧气吸收影响的波段进行了单独修正[1].由于“HY-1A”CCD的四个波段的光谱宽度均超过100 nm,覆盖了三种主要吸收气体的部分吸收线,因此它受到的气体影响会更大.

我国南方红土岩石磁学特征及其磁化率增强机制

我国南方第四纪红土是研究古环境变化的重要载体,主要由均质红土和网纹红土两大不同类型的沉积层组成。运用岩石磁学、漫反射光谱和粒度相结合的方法,分别对我国南方长沙(CS)、岳阳(HN)、南昌(NC)以及新余(XY)典型红土剖面的均质层和网纹层进行了详细的对比分析,结果表明网纹红土层2μm的黏粒含量较多,网纹红土层形成时期气候更加温暖湿润,成土作用高于上覆均质红土层。磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿、赤铁矿和针铁矿都是均质红土层和网纹红土层磁性矿物的主要载体。其中,网纹红土层的亚铁磁性矿物低于均质红土层,主要以较粗的假单畴PSD和多畴MD存在,反铁磁性矿物以赤铁矿为主;而上覆均质红土层却以较多的SSD磁赤铁矿为主。网纹红土层可见大量黑褐色铁锰胶膜和铁锰结核分布,这是由于沉积后土壤长期处于高温高湿的还原环境中,强磁性矿物如细粒磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿等部分被溶解转化为弱磁性矿物(如赤铁矿和针铁矿,主要是赤铁矿),这种磁性矿物的转化可能导致了成土作用强的网纹红土层较粗磁性颗粒的增加,而超顺磁亚铁磁性矿物含量的减少以及磁化率的降低。

新近纪深海大洋红层的分布分类及成因

新近纪大洋红层是一种在氧化条件下形成的红色-粉色-棕色海洋沉积物。白垩纪大洋红层研究成果众多,然而新近纪大洋红层研究缺乏系统的分析和总结。本文以新近纪大洋红层为研究对象,通过对全球大洋钻探井位资料的分析,发现39个钻井含有新近纪大洋红层。通过对不同大洋区域、不同钻井内93个红层离散样品的主量元素CaO,Al2O3和SiO2含量进行三元图投点分析,将新近纪大洋红层分为铝质和钙质大洋红层,其中绝大多数为铝质大洋红层。进一步分析了部分钻井中离散样品的磁化率变化、反射光谱一阶导数曲线、热退磁曲线和交变磁场退磁曲线变化,结果表明新近纪大洋红层的致色矿物以赤铁矿为主。12个钻井中新近纪大洋红层离散样品的低总有机碳含量和低CaCO3含量指示较低的生物生产力,此外19个钻井中红层的沉积速率平均为4 mm/ka,而非红层的沉积速率平均为85.3 mm/ka,指示红层的沉积速率相对较低。总结和分析新近纪大洋红层的以上特征,本文认为较低的有机质堆积速率为铁氧化物(赤铁矿)的形成提供了有利的氧化条件,使得沉积物中的铁氧化物在成岩阶段得以保存,最终形成全球分布的新近纪大洋红层。     

黄、东海二类水体春季表观光谱特性与表层悬浮体浓度反演模式

利用Savitzky-Golay滤波信号处理方法,分析了南黄海、北东海2003年春季水色遥感试验所取得的遥感反射率和表层悬浮体取样数据,以期探讨该海区近岸二类水体表观光谱及其导数光谱特性,及遥感反射率及其导数与水体表层总悬浮颗粒物浓度(TSS)和悬浮泥沙浓度(SS)的关系。结果表明,遥感反射率及其一阶导数均适于水体总悬浮颗粒物浓度与悬浮泥沙浓度反演,但其更高阶导数通常会抑制悬浮泥沙的作用则不建议采用;遥感反射率及其一阶导数与ln(TSS)、ln(SS)的相关性较其与TSS和SS更为显著。基于相关分析所筛选出的较优波段,建立了南黄海、北东海水域春季总悬浮颗粒物浓度与悬浮泥沙浓度统计反演模式。     

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.     

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.

Net Sand Transport Direction in a Tidal Inlet, using Foraminiferal Tests as Natural Tracers

The relationship between the flux of exotic benthic foraminiferal tests (i.e. tests which are supplied from open-sea sources alone) in a tidal inlet and that of bulk sediment was analysed, which can be expressed as two first-order linear equations. According to this relationship, in order to determine net sediment transport directions in the entrance, the test concentration in surficial sediments of the tidal basin can be compared against a ‘ critical level ’. The critical level is determined for the conditions that no net transport of bulk sediment is present within the entrance. If the observed concentration (averaged over the tidal basin) is higher than the simulated critical level, then the net sediment transport is directed to landward. This method is applied to the analysis of net sand transport at Christchurch Harbour, a tidal inlet system located in southern England. In this investigation, concentrations of exotic foraminiferal tests in the surficial sediments of the tidal basin and ebb tidal delta area were obtained from the analysis of sea-bed sediment samples. A series of probable critical levels were calculated based upon the data sets with regard to: (1) sediment discharge from the rivers; (2) magnitude of sediment discharge within the entrance during the ebb; (3) the test concentration outside the harbour; (4) the thickness of the moving layer; and (5) two parameters associated with dispersive processes. The results show that the concentration in the tidal basin sediment is higher than a number of simulated critical concentrations for representative cases. Consequently, the high level of the concentration of exotic benthic foraminiferal tests within the harbour should be explained as a result of landward net transport of sands within the entrance.     

Assessment of Impact on Seafloor Features in INDEX Area

Observations on seafloor features from subbottom profiling and seabed photography data show that the undisturbed and natural conditions before the benthic disturbance undergo a substantial change after operation of the disturber. The effects can be seen in the form of deep trenches and grooves, formed by the action of the sleds and the pumping of the sediment along its path, as well as sediment piles on either side of the track. Biological traces such as fecal coils, casts, tubes, burrows, and trails get obliterated in the areas of disturbance and resedimentation. The smooth, uniform nature of the seafloor observed in predisturbance phase shows microtopographic changes in and around the disturbed area as a result of sediment excavation and resettlement. Vertical mixing as well as lateral transport of sediment alter the geological, biological, physical, and chemical conditions on the seafloor, which need to be monitored over time to assess the process and the time taken for restoration of environmental conditions.     

Regional Commercial Sponge Extinctions in the West Indies: Are Recent Climatic Changes Responsible?

Abstract. Long-term changes in the distributional patterns of commercial sponges ( Spongia spp. and Hippospongia spp.) within the West Indian Region indicates that: 1) commercial sponges had a widespread distribution throughout the whole West Indian Region and were ubiquitous in very shallow water until about the first half of the present century; 2) they were fished commercially not only in the traditional northern Caribbean sites (Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas) but also in the Greater ( e. g. , Hispaniola, Jamaica) and Lesser Antilles; and 3) they became extinct throughout most of the Lesser Antilles ( e. g. , Puerto Rico, Vieques, St. Thomas) sometime during the first half of this century. Mortalities of spongiids within the Antilles were found to differ from other marine mortalities in that: 1) species disappeared from a large region; 2) species vanished from different habitats and depths; and 3) natural populations never recovered. Species richness patterns suggest that commercial sponge genera ( Spongia and Hippospongia ) evolved under slightly cooler elimatic conditions than those found at present, and that these extinctions occurred as a direct or indirect effect of positive thermal anomalies in sea surface and atmospheric temperatures between 1900–1950. The concept that species diversity is stable on a regional scale is questioned.     

Dynamic behaviour of axially pre-loaded tubular steel members of offshore structures subjected to impact damage

The behaviour of an axially pre-loaded cylindrical member of an offshore structure, hit by a supply ship, has been investigated. The effects of axial pre-loading on the dynamic properties of members, the extent of damage and propagation of dynamic instability in the tubular members have also been investigated. Numerical models have been validated using available experimental data from the literature although these are mostly static with no pre-loading. Axial pre-loading was found to change the dynamic characteristics of some cylindrical members quite dramatically while it had no significant effect on others. The study examined whether there was any change in the behaviour between local and global modes when the loading was dynamic rather than static. The effect of damping on the dynamic instability of axially pre-loaded tubes under lateral dynamic loads was also studied. It was observed that for some geometries the quasi-static response can be used to define the boundary between bounded and unbounded dynamic responses. The main contribution of this study, compared with previous investigations reported in the literature, is that both pre-loading and dynamic effects have been included.
