南海中部全新世以来海山深潜区有孔虫的地球化学记录及反映的气候变化

有孔虫在生长发育过程中能够捕获或黏附周围海水中的钙质或硅质形成自己的壳体,因此有孔虫的地球化学特征能够记录古气候、古海洋和古环境信息。以2017年蛟龙号第136潜次在南海珍贝海山底部约2500 m水深位置精准采集的柱状样品为研究对象,对其中的G.ruber以及G.sacculifer两类浮游有孔虫壳体的Mg/Ca以及碳氧同位素组成进行了分析测试。结果表明自12.6 ka以来该海域表层海水温度(SST)的变化范围为24.4~29.3℃,平均温度为26.2℃,并能够识别出明显的气候突变事件,在时间范围上与新仙女木事件和全新世东亚夏季风突变事件大致吻合。这些突变事件可能受控于ENSO活动和热带辐合带(ITCZ)平均位置的纬向移动,并与北大西洋冰筏事件具有遥相关。此外,发现全新世期间浮游有孔虫G.sacculifer和G.ruber的碳同位素分馏值Δ^13CG.sacculifer-G.ruber与SST变化有关,SST降低时,Δ^13CG.sacculifer-G.ruber呈负偏;而在SST升高时,Δ^13CG.sacculifer-G.ruber呈正偏。     

南海南部水体和沉积物中的浮游有孔虫氧碳

通过对2002年南海南部春季水体和表层沉积物中浮游有孔虫的δ18O和δ13C分析,初步探讨该区有孔虫氧碳同位素的海洋环境指示意义及其与沉降过程的关系. 结果表明,南海南部春季表层水体中Globigerinoides ruber (G. ruber)与Globigerinoides sacculifer(G. sacculifer)的δ18O均值基本相似,相对它们在表层沉积物中的δ18O明显要小;但在表层沉积物中G. ruber 的δ18O则比G. sacculifer相对要小0.34‰.这种差异可能与G. sacculifer的配子生殖二次钙化以及2个种属的季节性差异有关.Pulleniatina obliquiloculata(P. obliquiloculata)的δ18O在沉积物和水体中均较G. ruber和G. sacculifer明显偏大,表现出较大的种间差异.P. obliquiloculata的δ18O在春季水体中比其在沉积物中平均约小0.7‰,差值较大,可能是因为P. obliquiloculata为冬季种,主要出现在冬季低温水体中.3种浮游有孔虫的δ13C以G. sacculifer最大,G. ruber次之,P. obliquiloculata最低,这种差异可能主要由属种间的生命效应所引起.表层沉积物中G. ruber和G. sacculifer的δ18O从区域的西北往东南有逐渐变小的趋势,可能受区域年均表层水温西北低东南高的影响.在上升流发育区,P. obliquiloculata的δ18O和δ13C均明显偏高,其δ13C与水体营养的关系与南海北部的明显相反,有待进一步深入研究.     

浮游有孔虫B/Ca作为海水pH替代指标有效性的初步评估:生命效应和溶解作用

浮游有孔虫B/Ca主要受控于海水pH,可作为海水pH值的替代性指标,其在探索海洋对大气pCO2冰期旋回贡献作用的研究中广受关注。然而,利用浮游有孔虫B/Ca重建海水pH,其结果的可靠性还受到温度、[CO2-3]、溶解作用、生命效应(共生光合作用、呼吸作用和钙化作用)以及属种差异的制约。为评估生命效应和溶解作用对B/Ca指标有效性的影响,测定了西太平洋暖池MD06-3052岩心特征样品的浮游有孔虫表层种Globigerinoides ruber和次表层种Neogloboquadrina dutertrei在不同壳体粒径、不同壳体厚度下的B/Ca。结果表明,除两个层位外,G.ruber的B/Ca随壳体粒径的增大,总体上呈增高趋势,主要由钙化作用速率逐渐加快所致;而两个特例层位分别表现为B/Ca随粒径变化不大和随粒径先不变后增加,这可能是由钙化作用、呼吸作用与共生光合作用对G.ruber B/Ca影响的相反效应导致的竞争关系所致。N.dutertrei的B/Ca随壳体粒径的增大,总体呈降低趋势,呼吸作用可能是导致该趋势的主要原因。另外,同一层位相同粒径G.ruber和N.dutertrei的B/Ca也明显不同。这些相同种属不同粒径之间以及相同粒径不同种属之间B/Ca的差异综合表明生命效应通过表征的具体过程对浮游有孔虫B/Ca有重要影响。然而,同一层位、相同粒径、不同厚度的G.ruber和N.dutertrei B/Ca各自相差不大,表明溶解作用对浮游有孔虫B/Ca影响甚微。总之,从生命效应和溶解作用角度看,只要挑选优势粒径浮游有孔虫,将生命效应对其B/Ca的影响降到最低,浮游有孔虫B/Ca是有效的海水pH的替代性指标。     

末次冰期最盛期热带西太平洋的海洋表层温度

热带西太平洋是全球海-气相互作用最强烈的区域,在地球气候系统中极为重要。为获得该海区末次冰盛期(LGM)海洋表层温度(SST)变化,以Ontong-Java海台WP7浮游有孔虫G.ruber为材料,结合其他站位,通过求解由G.ruber壳体镁钙元素比值(Mg/Ca)、壳体氧同位素(δ18Oc)和SST相互关系组成的方程组,排除了海水盐度对G.ruber壳体Mg/Ca的影响,对SST降幅进行了估算。结果表明,热带西太平洋LGM时期SST较晚全新世(LH)降幅达到了4.5℃,其中西太平洋暖池核心区(29℃等温线以内)约3.9℃,远大于以前的估算结果,但小于热带印度洋约5.8℃的结果,接近热带东太平洋约3.6℃的SST降幅,这可能是LGM时期西太暖池规模向东缩小的结果。     

MIS 6期以来西菲律宾海表层营养物质水平演化及其控制因素:浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber的Cd/Ca证据

通过西菲律宾海MD06-3052孔浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber的n(Cd)/n(Ca)[n(Cd)和n(Ca)分别指示Cd元素和Ca元素的物质的量]变化研究及其与陆源物质输入、海水结构以及海洋初级生产力等重建结果对比,从营养物质来源和利用两方面,探究了MIS6期以来该区域表层营养物质水平演化及其控制因素,从而为热带西太平洋生物泵作用和营养物质循环提供新思路和新证据。MIS6期以及MIS 2—3期研究区吕宋岛来源的陆源物质输入增多,导致了研究区MIS 6晚期、MIS 3早期和MIS2期浮游有孔虫G. ruber n(Cd)/n(Ca)的升高。而在MIS 3晚期,尽管陆源物质输入量大、次表层营养物质上涌,但初级生产力对于营养物质的利用量大于前两者营养物质输入量之和,最终形成研究区浮游有孔虫G. ruber n(Cd)/n(Ca)在MIS 3晚期呈现逐渐降低的趋势。海平面的迅速升高导致营养物质来源短期不足引起MIS 6/5冰消期浮游有孔虫G. ruber n(Cd)/n(Ca)呈现低值。而MIS 5e期研究区陆源物质输入的增多,又促使浮游有孔虫G. ruber n(Cd)/n(Ca)出现高值。此外, MIS 4—5d期,陆源物质输入较低、次表层营养物质仍受到阻碍,但研究区初级生产力在MIS4—5d期则逐渐升高,致使研究区浮游有孔虫G.rubern(Cd)/n(Ca)呈现下降趋势。研究结果反映不同时期浮游有孔虫G.rubern(Cd)/n(Ca)的受控因素不同,需要对其从营养物质来源和利用两方面因素加以考虑,才能获得更为准确的研究结果。总之,本文对西菲律宾海浮游有孔虫n(Cd)/n(Ca)指标的探究,不仅为该指标在热带西太平洋区域的古海洋学研究打下了基础,还为该指标在其他海域更为准确的探究提供了新的思路。     

西菲律宾海2万年以来浮游有孔虫壳体重量变化

为探讨2万年以来浮游有孔虫的壳体重量变化及其影响因素,对取自西菲律宾海MD06-3052岩芯的浮游有孔虫表层种Globigerinoides ruber进行壳体重量分析,基于氧同位素年龄模式,获得了2万年以来有孔虫传统壳体重量(WMS)和标准化壳体重量(WSN)变化特征。对比两种壳体重量指标,发现在本海区标准化壳体重量指标更为准确。结果表明,2万年以来,浮游有孔虫WSN具有不断变轻的趋势,整体表现为冰期时壳体重量较重,而全新世时壳体重量相对较轻的特征。末次冰盛期(Last Glacial Maximum,LGM)以来浮游有孔虫WSN变化曲线同大气CO2浓度变化曲线具有较好的相似性,推测在该海区控制壳体重量的主要因素为与全球大气CO2相关的表层海水的CO32–浓度。     

热带印度-太平洋浮游有孔虫Pulleniatina obliquiloculata的B/Ca和Cd/Ca指标：次表层海水碳化学参数计算的应用

Pulleniatina obliquiloculata shells from 16 core-top samples from the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans are analyzed for the ratios of boron and cadmium to calcium(B/Ca and Cd/Ca). The B/Ca ratios show a very weak positive relationship with [B(OH)_4~-] and the dissolved carbonate species at the apparent calcification depth of P.obliquiloculata. The boron partition coefficients(K_D) between P. obliquiloculata B/Ca and seawater[B(OH)_4~-]/[HCO_3~-] distribute around 1.1×10~(-3)-1.3×10~(-3) with a mean value of(1.19±0.12)×10~(-3),and are significantly related to the nutrient concentration, especially phosphate. The lack of any clear correlation between the P. obliquiloculata B/Ca and seawater carbonate chemical parameters suggests that the physiochemical controls on boron incorporation are masked by the complexity of natural seawater condition. But the significant dependence of Ku on nutrient may likely be explained by a nutrient related growth-rate effect. Cd/Ca of P.obliquiloculata shows significant correlation with seawater phosphate concentration, and its partition coefficients(D_(cd)) are significantly related to temperature. A first-principle methodology of P. obliquiloculata B/Ca is applied;with the aid of Cd/Ca as a phosphate proxy and a constraint on K_D, to estimating sea water carbonate chemistry(e.g., pH). The results are fairly promising and allow us to propose the possibility to apply the combination of B/Ca and Cd/Ca proxies(and also Mg/Ca and δ~(18)O for estimating temperature and salinity) for the paleoreconstruction of seawater carbonate chemistry.     

再探温跃层有孔虫B/Ca与温度和[CO32-]的依赖性及其在24 ka以来热带西太平洋次表层碳酸盐系统重建中的应用

The B/Ca ratio of planktonic foraminifer shells has been used as a proxy for reconstructing past ocean carbonate chemistry. However, recent studies have revealed significant uncertainties associated with this proxy, such as whether seawater temperature or [ CO_3~(2-)] is the dominant control on the partition coefficient(K_D) of planktonic foraminiferal B/Ca. To address these uncertainties and thus improve our understanding of the planktonic foraminiferal B/Ca proxy, we analysed B/Ca ratios in the tests of Neogloboquadrina dutertrei(300–355 μm) and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata(355–400 μm) in surface sediment samples from the tropical western Pacific and South China Sea. The relationship between these B/Ca ratios and bottom water calcite saturation states(Δ[ CO_3~(2-)]) is weak, thus suggesting only a small dissolution effect on the B/Ca of the two species. The correlation coefficients(R~2) between the B/Ca ratios of N. dutertrei and P. obliquiloculata and environmental parameters(e.g., temperature, salinity, phosphate, DIC and ALK) in the tropical western Pacific and South China Sea are not high enough to justify using B/Ca ratios as a palaeoenvironmental proxy in the study areas. The significant correlation between K_D values of N. dutertrei and P. obliquiloculata and carbonate system parameters(e.g.,[ CO_3~(2-)], DIC, ALK, pH and [ HCO_3~-]) in the study area reflect chemical links between the K_D denominator and these variables. Based on our surface sediment calibration, an empirical relationship between the K_D of N.dutertrei and temperature is proposed in the tropical western Pacific. We also generated a record of B/Ca ratios in N. dutertrei(300–355 μm) from Core MD06-3052 in the tropical western Pacific over the past 24 ka to evaluate the application of the revised B/Ca proxy method. Based on the reconstructed empirical relationship for B/Ca and subsurface seawater ALK, we estimated subsurface seawater carbonate system parameters in the tropical western Pacific since 24 ka. In general, the estimated subsurface seawater pH and [ CO_3~(2-)] show an increase with time, and the record of subsurface seawater pCO_2 shows a decrease with time, in the tropical western Pacific over the past 24 ka. The consistent trends in subsurface seawater pCO_2 and opal flux during deglaciation may imply that the reported increase in subsurface water pCO_2 in the study area was promoted by enhanced upwelling in the Southern Ocean.     

东海内陆架泥质沉积区全新世古环境变迁:有孔虫证据

对东海内陆架MD06-3040柱状样257个沉积物样品进行了有孔虫及其氧碳稳定同位素分析,应用底栖有孔虫组合和不同生态(表生/内生、内陆架/中外陆架)种的丰度,浮游有孔虫Globigerina.bulloides和Globigeri-noides.ruber的丰度及其稳定同位素记录,探讨了研究区全新世10.6cal.kaBP以来的古环境变迁。分析结果揭示了研究区全新世早期海面快速上升,沉积环境由滨岸内陆架(10.6～9.9cal.kaBP)、内陆架外缘(9.9～8.1cal.kaBP)转变至中陆架并达全新世最高海面(7.7～7.2cal.kaBP)。台湾暖流在8.0cal.kaBP起开始发育,并在6.0～2.8和0.7～0cal.kaBP两个时期派生出明显的上升流。台湾暖流及其所派生的上升流是造成东海陆架泥质快速沉积的最主要原因。采用浮游有孔虫G.bulloides的丰度变化,推测浙闽沿岸流在5.1cal.kaBP之前较弱,之后显著增强,其中在5.1～2.8cal.kaBP时期最为强盛。     

70万年以来西太平洋暖池区硅质生产力记录及其气候效应

西太平洋暖池(WPWP)的硅质生产力水平在调节第四纪全球大气CO₂分压的变化上发挥着重要作用,但其控制因素尚存争议。本研究对位于WPWP核心区的MD06-3047岩芯进行了生源蛋白石分析,探讨了700 ka以来WPWP的硅质生产力的控制因素及气候效应。研究发现,700 ka以来WPWP硅质生产力变化呈现显著的冰期-间冰期旋回,基本在冰期较高,间冰期较低。其主要控制因素可能是东吕宋陆架沉积物风化输入、亚洲风尘输入和温跃层深度(DOT)变化。南大洋中层水的“硅溢漏”可能无法对此海区产生显著影响。冰期时的低海平面,导致热带火山弧附近裸露的陆架沉积物的物理剥蚀和硅酸盐风化,淡水输入为WPWP提供了更多的硅酸;冰期时增强的风尘供应为WPWP提供了更多的Fe;冰期时较浅的DOT使表层海水的营养物质垂向空间变小,滞留时间增多。这些因素使冰期的WPWP生产力增高,有可能降低了大气CO₂分压。     

冰岛北部陆架末次冰消期以来基于硅藻的古环境记录

冰岛北部陆架MD99-2271孔沉积硅藻组合呈现暖水硅藻数量增加、冷水硅藻数量减少和这两类硅藻数量周期性此消彼长的特点,反映了气候在趋暖的背景下,冷暖交替的过程。通过该区温度指数Rw/wc值(暖水硅藻种含量与海冰种及暖水种含量总和的比值)的变化,重建了冰岛北部陆架古海洋环境:Blling-Allerd暖期时,暖水硅藻T.nitzschioides含量较高,表明印明格暖流对研究区的影响较强;随着暖水硅藻含量减少,海冰硅藻F.cylindrus和T.bulbosa的显著增加,此时暖流强度减弱,东格陵兰寒流明显增强,冰岛北部海域进入末次冰消期以来最冷的时期——Younger Dryas冷期。11cal.kaBP左右暖水硅藻T.nitzschioides和T.oestrupii数量急剧升高,表明该海域海洋环境发生了明显变化,并逐步向全新世大暖期过渡,此时冰岛北部陆架海域现代海洋格局基本形成。全新世大暖期时,硅藻群落表现为暖水种的显著增多,海冰、极地及冷水硅藻较之前明显减少,说明冰岛北部海域主要受北大西洋暖流的分支——印明格暖流的影响,海洋环境较温暖;6cal.kaBP之后东格陵兰寒流逐渐增强,冰岛北部海洋环境转冷,全新世大暖期结束。

Impact of Wind on Tide-Induced Advective Salt Transport in A Well-Mixed Estuary

The tide-induced net advective salt flux in well-mixed estuaries consists of five terms according to the method from Kjerfve.The term resulted from the vertical variation in salinity can be negligible in well-mixed estuaries with four tide-induced salt flux terms,known as F1?F4.To explore the effects of wind on these salt fluxes,the current-salinity analytical model combined with the perturbation analysis is extended by including wind.Analytical expressions for the four salt fluxes are derived separately in the present model.Under the assumption that only the M₂ tidal component is accounted for and the salt flux generated by diffusion is not studied,the tide-induced net advective salt flux Q_sx is in the seaward direction without the wind effect.By applying the Western Scheldt estuary case,the wind influence on the tidal advection salt flux(TASF)distribution in the F4 term was investigated.The phase difference between zero-order velocity and first-order salinity(Δφ)at the surface layer of the estuary is larger than 90°and smaller than 90°at the bottom layer,which leads to landward TASF in the surface layer and seaward TASF in the bottom layer.The distribution ofΔφis not uniform in the horizontal direction with wind included,which differs from the result without wind.In the case of seaward wind with the speed of 18 m/s,the decrease in the zeroth-order velocity phase(φu)at the surface layer is larger than that of the first-order salinity phase(φs)downstream,which leads to an abnormal seaward TASF in this region.Owing to the surface stress caused by wind,the Stokes compensation flow in the middle and lower reaches increases/decreases with the increase of the landward/seaward wind,while the upstream situation is opposite.Thus,the first-order velocity in the middle and lower reaches increases/decreases with the increase of the landward/seaward wind,while the upstream situation is also opposite.The first-order salinity also increases/decreases with the increase of landward/seaward wind,while the upstream salinity tends to zero.Therefore,the tide-induced net advective salt flux Q_sx increases/decreases with the increase of the landward/seaward wind,which is contrary to the usual recognition.     

Observations of the Karimata Strait througflow from December 2007 to November 2008

In order to quantitatively estimate the volume and property transports between the South China Sea and Indonesian Seas via the Karimata Strait, two trawl-resistant bottom mounts, with ADCPs embedded, were deployed in the strait to measure the velocity profile as part of the South China Sea-Indonesian Seas transport/exchange (SITE) program. A pair of surface and bottom acoustic modems was employed to transfer the measured velocity without recovering the mooring. The advantage and problems of the instruments in this field work are reported and discussed. The field observations confirm the existence of the South China Sea branch of Indonesian throughflow via the Karimata Strait with a stronger southward flow in boreal winter and weaker southward bottom flow in boreal summer, beneath the upper layer northward (reversal) flow. The estimate of the averaged volume, heat and freshwater transports from December 2007 to March 2008 (winter) is (-2.7 ± 1.1) × 10 6 m3/s, (-0.30 ± 0.11) PW, (-0.18 ± 0.07) × 106m3/s and from May to September 2008 (summer) is (1.2 ± 0.6) × 106m3/s, (0.14 ± 0.03) PW, (0.12 ± 0.04) × 106m3/s and for the entire record from December 2007 to October 2008 is (-0.5 ± 1.9) × 10 6 m3/s, (-0.05 ± 0.22) PW, (-0.01 ± 0.15) × 106m3/s (negative/positive represents southward/northward transport), respectively. The existence of southward bottom flow in boreal summer implies that the downward sea surface slope from north to south as found by Fang et al. (2010) for winter is a year-round phenomenon.     

基于卫星和浮标数据的副热带西北太平洋反气旋型中尺度涡旋的个例观测研究

The comprehensive three-dimensional structures of an anti-cyclonic mesoscale eddy(AE) in the subtropical northwestern Pacific Ocean were investigated by combining the Argo floats profiles with enhanced vertical and temporal sampling and satellite altimetry data. The AE originated near the Kuroshio Extension and then propagated westward with mean velocity of 8.9 cm/s. Significant changes and evolutions during the AE's growing stage(T1) and further growing stage(T2) were revealed through composite analysis. In the composite eddy core,maximum temperature(T) and salinity(S) anomalies were of 1.7(1.9)°C and 0.04(0.07) psu in T1(T2) period,respectively. The composite T anomalies showed positive in almost whole depth, but the S anomalies exhibited a sandwich-like pattern. The eddy's intensification and its influence on the intermediate ocean became more significant during its growth. The trapping depth increased from 400×10~4 Pa to 580×10~4 Pa while it was growing up, which means more water volume, heat and salt content in deeper layers can be transported. The AE was strongly nonlinear in upper oceans and can yield a typical mean volume transport of 0.17×10~6 m~3/s and a mean heat and salt transport anomaly of 3.6×10~(11) W and –2.1×10~3 kg/s during the observation period. The Energy analysis showed that eddy potential and kinetic energy increased notably as it propagated westward and the baroclinic instability is the major energy source of the eddy growth. The variation of the remained Argo float trapped within the eddy indicated significant water advection during the eddy's propagation.     

南半球亚极地流涡的平均特征及其变化

Based on the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation(SODA) products,we study the mean properties and variations of the Southern Hemisphere subpolar gyres(SHSGs) in this paper.The results show that the gyre strengths in the SODA estimates are(55.9±9.8)×10~6m~3/s for the Weddell Gyre(WG),(37.0±6.4) ×10~6m~3/s for the Ross Gyre(RG),and(27.5±8.2)×10~6m~3/s for the Australian-Antarctic Gyre(AG),respectively.There exists distinct connectivity between the adjacent gyres and then forms an oceanic super gyre structure in the southern subpolar oceans.And the interior exchanges are about(8.0±3.2)×10~6m~3/s at around 70°E and(4.3±3.1)×10~6m~3/s at around 140°E.The most pronounced variation for all three SHSGs occurs on the seasonal time scale,with generally stronger(weaker)SHSGs during austral winter(summer).And the seasonal changes of the gyre structures show that the eastern boundary of the WG and AG extends considerably further east during winter and the interior exchange in the super gyre structure increases accordingly.The WG and RG also show significant semi-annual changes.The correlation analyses confirm that the variations of the gyre strengths are strongly correlated with the changes in the local wind forcing on the semi-annual and seasonal time scales.     

Mooring tension and motion characteristics of a submerged fish reef with net in waves and currents using numerical analysis

A numerical model was used to analyze the motion response and mooring tension of a submerged fish reef system. The system included a net attached to a rigid structure suspended up from the bottom with a single, high tension mooring by fixed flotation. The analysis was performed by using a Morison equation type finite element model configured with truss elements. Input forcing parameters into the model consisted of both regular and irregular waves, with and without a steady current. Heave, surge and pitch dynamic calculations of the reef structure were made. Tension response results of the attached mooring line were also computed. Results were analyzed in both the time and frequency domain in which appropriate, linear transfer functions were calculated. The influence of the current was more evident in the tension and heave motion response data. This is most likely the result of the large buoyancy characteristics of the reef structure and the length of the mooring cable. Maximum mooring component tension was found to be 13.9 kN and occurred when the reef was subjected to irregular waves with a co-linear current of 1.0 m/s velocity. The results also showed that the system had little damping (in heave) with damped natural periods of 2.8 s. This combination of system characteristics promotes a possible resonating situation in typical open sea conditions with similar wave periods.     

大连蜈蚣藻孢子发育及生活史的研究

在实验室条件下,对大连蜈蚣藻(Grateloupia dalianensis H.W.Wang et D.Zhao)的孢子早期发育、盘状体的形成和直立枝生长进行了详细研究,对其生活史进行了详细观察,并进行了温度和光照强度对孢子发育影响的研究。结果表明:(1)孢子发育类型为间接盘状体型;(2)生活史由雌、雄配子体、四分孢子体和果孢子体三相世代组成,配子体与孢子体形态相同,属于同型世代交替,与属模蜈蚣藻(G.filicina)一致;(3)温度对盘状体和直立枝生长均有影响,最适温度均为16℃;(4)光照强度对盘状体和直立枝生长均有影响,最适光照强度分别为7 500 lx和10 000 lx。     

莱州湾E孔中更新世末期以来的地球化学特征

对1994年在莱州湾沿岸所取的E孔(37°07'N,118°55'E,孔深为821m)岩心进行了地球化学研究.用等离子光谱法测量了9个常量元素、15个微量元素和碳酸钙的含量.结果表明,(1)E孔大部分常量元素、微量元素含量、尤其元素特征比值(Mn/Fe,Sr/Ba,Sr/Ca,Ti/Al)在地层分界处都有明显变化,可作为该区第四纪地层划分的重要指标;(2)常量元素含量变化主要受宿主矿物控制,主要反映物质来源,同时也反映沉积作用和沉积环境,Fe,Al,Ca,Mg,Mn,Ti对物源和环境反映较为敏感;(3)微量元素在中更新世末期、最后间冰期、最后冰期和全新世四个不同沉积时期分布特征不同,尤其在气候“冷期”和“暖期”有不同分布规律;大多数微量元素含量变化旋回曲线之“波谷”对应着沙层沉积,有6个沙层代表“暖期”沉积,1个沙层代表“冷期”沉积;(4)E孔在冰期低海面时期风成粉砂沉积中碳酸钙含量偏高,间冰期时海侵沙层中碳酸钙的含量偏低,碳酸钙含量变化与粒度和沉积物类型有关,对气候、环境和地层划分有良好的指示.     

An experimenal analysis for the impact of 2D variation assimilation of satellite data on typhoon track simulation

A series of test simulations are performed to evaluate the impact of satellite-derived meteorological data on numerical typhoon track prediction. Geostationary meteorological satellite (GMS-5) and NOAA‘s TIROS operational vertical sounder (TOVS) observations are used in the experiments. A twodimensional variation assimilation scheme is developed to assimilate the satellite data directly into the Penn State-NCAR nonhydrostatic meteorological model (MM5). Three-dimensional objective analyses fields based on T213 results and routine observations are employed as the background fields of the initialization. The comparisons of the simulated typhoon tracks are also carried out, which correspond respectively to the initialization scheme with two-dimensional variation (2D- Var), three-dimensional observational nudging and direct assimilation of satellite data. It is found that, comparing with the experiments without satellite data assimilation, the first two assimilation schemes lead to significant improvements on typhoon track prediction. Track errors reduce by 18% at 12 h for 2D- Var and from about 16% at 24 h to about 35% at 48 h for observational nudging. The simulated results based on assimilating different kinds of satellite data are also compared.
