南黄海中部全新世磁性铁质球粒富集层的发现和意义

国际上对于微玻璃陨石、磁性铁质球粒方面的研究取得了不少进展,包括研究其年代学、分布特征、矿物学特征、地球化学特征等[1~5].人们认为,形成这些微玻璃陨石、磁性铁质球粒的地质事件对生物灭绝、古气候、古环境演变有明显影响[3,6,7].     

生产率的测定

冰芯记录表明，在过去的冰期期间大气二氧化碳的浓度减小了．为什么会这样?在极地大洋生长的浮游生物是主要怀疑对象，因为CO2通过光合作用被吸收，而在有机物沉到洋底时停止了循环．对于气候来说，非常需要对浮游生物生产率进行一次很好的测定．     

对海洋"传送带"的新观点

地球上极大的动力现象之一,即所谓全球性的“传送带”,是北大西洋深部水的移动,对两个半球的气候产生影响,在间冰期这个过程特别显著,而在当前的冰期,它的规模实质性地减弱了。海洋学家和气象学家的这种观点被广泛接受,即世界海洋环流的明显变动主要体现在研究深海有孔虫组织中     

二氧化碳,海洋与气候

文章讨论了由于大气中CO_2浓度的增加所产生的“温室效应”和海洋与CO_2之间的相互作用。已有的研究表明,自从工业革命以来,大气中CO_2浓度已由290ppmv增至340ppmv左右,并且目前人类每年大约向大气输送180×10~8t的CO_2,大气的平均温度以0.1—0.5℃/10α的速度增加。据估计,截止本世纪末地球大气的平均温度将升高3±1.5℃。这种现象对地球的环境生态将产生明显的影响。海洋是碳的巨大贮存所(约390×10~11t溶解碳),海洋能够吸收和释放CO_2;CO_2在海洋的穿透深度为700m。已有的研究结果表明,CO_2在海洋和大气之间处于不平衡状态。本文提出,是否可以通过研究CO_2在大气与海洋之间的相互作用,海洋吸收、贮存和转移CO_2的能力来了解碳在海洋中的转移通道和大气中CO_2浓度的变化倾向,从而预测世界范围内气候的变化趋势,并初步予以探讨。     

潮汐对瞬态气候响应模拟的影响研究

In this study, the impact of oceanic processes on the sensitivity of transient climate change is investigated using two sets of coupled experiments with and without tidal forcing, which are termed Exp_Tide and Exp_Control,respectively. After introducing tidal forcing, the transient climate response(TCR) decreases from 2.32 K to 1.90 K,and the surface air temperature warming at high latitudes decreases by 29%. Large ocean heat uptake efficiency and heat storage can explain the low TCR in Exp_Tide. Approximately 21% more heat is stored in the ocean in Exp_Tide(1.10×10~(24) J) than in Exp_Control(0.91×10~(24) J). Most of the large ocean warming occurs in the upper 1 000 m between 60°S and 60°N, primarily in the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. This ocean warming is closely related to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation(AMOC). The initial transport at mid-and high latitudes and the decline in the AMOC observed in Exp_Tide are both larger than those observed in Exp_Control. The spatial structures of AMOC are also different with and without tidal forcing in present experiments. The AMOC in Exp_Tide has a large northward extension. We also investigated the relationship between AMOC and TCR suggested by previous studies using the present experiments.     

Mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea and their impact on temperature profiles

Some life history statistics of the mesoscale eddies of the South China Sea (SCS) derived from altimetry data will be further discussed according their different formation periods.A total of three ATLAS (autonomous temperature line acquisition system)mooring buoys data will be analyzed to discuss eddies‘ impact on temperature profiles.They identify that the intraseasonal variation of SCS thermocline is partly controlled by mesoscale eddies.     

翘嘴红鲌(Erythroculter ilishaeformis Bleeker)种群遗传多样性的RAPD分析

采用RAPD技术对翘嘴红鲌养殖群体进行了DNA多态性检测.共采用40个随机引物进行扩增,其中14个引物可获得清晰且重复性好的扩增图谱,共扩增出121个RAPD位点,具有多态现象的位点为40个,多态位点比例为33.06%.翘嘴红鲌群体的遗传相似系数为 0.8878-0.9600,平均为0.9201,遗传变异度为0.0799.Shannon多样性指数为10.8824,Shannon多样性值为0.0899.研究表明,翘嘴红鲌目前的种质资源状况令人堪忧,改变目前人工繁育模式,建立原种、良种场,丰富物种遗传多样性是资源保护的基础.
