最近6.5～2.2 Ma黄土高原粉尘通量变化及其指示的东亚冬季风演化和亚洲干旱化

黄土高原红粘土沉积与北太平洋885/886孔深海沉积记录的亚洲粉尘沉积通量对比显示,海陆风尘记录万年尺度的变化趋势一致,指示了6．5Ma以来亚洲内陆干旱化和冬季风环流变化的历史：6．5MaRP粉尘源区出现一定程度的干旱化,粉尘通量增加,为红粘土的形成提供了物质基础;5．2～3．6MaBP源区气候较为湿润,冬季风环流偏弱,导致粉尘通量大幅下降;3．6～2．6MaBP。由于青藏高原加速隆升,导致源区气候迅速干旱,冬季风环流发展,粉尘通量急剧增加。但海陆粉尘通量变化也存在差异,显示出区域及半球或全球尺度上粉尘输送方式的不同。     

东海内陆架沉积气候信息的端元分析模型反演

应用沉积物粒度端元分析模型对在东海内陆架泥质区取得的30号柱样的高分辨率粒度数据序列进行了反演,分离出3个端元,根据端元的频率分布特征和已有研究结果,认为3个端元可能为现代陆源细颗粒物质(EM1)、现代陆源粗颗粒物质(EM2)和风暴带来的残留沉积区再悬浮物质(EM3),并对本区域的水动力环境进行了分析,认为分离出的端元EM1和EM2的比值EM2/(EM1 EM2)序列可以反映东海沿岸流强度的历史变化,进而反映东亚冬季风强度和中国温度波动的历史。该序列与观测到的近百年来东亚冬季风强度记录、竺可桢的中国温度波动曲线以及葛全胜的中国东部冬半年温度变化序列有很好的对应关系。得出的气候指标序列在竺可桢给出的公元600—1100年高温期间的780—920年出现了一个极小值区,为许多作者推测的公元780—920年出现一个短暂的冷期提供了佐证;另外该序列近百年来变化幅度明显,反映了人类活动的影响。     

The effects of different sea surface temperature distributions over the western Pacific on the summer monsoon properties

A modified and improved primitive equation numerical model with p-sigma incorporated vertical coordinates is used to simulate the effects of different sea surface temperature distributions over the western Pacific on the summer monsoon properties. The different sea surface temperature (SST) distributions are automatically generated in the time integrations by using two different SST models, one of which is called the deep ocean model (DOM) and the other the shallow ocean model (SOM). The SST generated by the DOM has the distribution pattern of the initial SST which is similar to the pattern in the cold water years over the western Pacific, while the SST generated by the SOM has the pattern similar to that in the warm water years. The differences between the experimental results by using DOM and SOM are analyzed in detail. The analyses indicate that the most basic and important characteristics of the summer monsoon climate can be simulated successfully in both experiments, that means the climatic propert     

大亚湾大鹏澳夏季余流的分析

1989年夏季在广东大亚湾大鹏澳进行了近2个月的海流锚系观测。本文报道观测结果,并利用谱和经验正交函数分析法研究余流的特性。结果表明,1989年夏季溴内有一弱气旋环流,但存在相当强的低频流.低频流以E-W 方向为主,能量集中在8～16d 和4～5d 频带上,其主分量表现为溴口南部同北部位相相反的低频水平环流。低频流与当地风场有明显的关系。     

Numerical modelling and analysis of temperature controlled density currents in Tomales Bay, California

The coastal region adjacent to Tomales Bay, California is dominated by wind-driven upwelling during spring and summer and the cold, upwelled water is moved towards Tomales Bay, entering the estuary with the flood tide. If the tidal excursion is ≥6 km and the cold water subducts beneath the warmer, less dense estuarine water, a temperature controlled density current may form and intrude towards the head of the estuary as a thermally stratified bottom layer. The numerical modelling was aimed at determining the capability of the Delft3D-FLOW model to reproduce the cold ocean water intrusion events, the response (development and progression) of these intrusions to differing physical scenarios and the comparative importance of the parameters to the intrusions. The numerical model successfully reproduced the density intrusions and showed that the persistence and break down of the density intrusions were affected by a number of physical parameters, to varying degrees. The sensitivity analysis showed that density intrusion formation is controlled by tidal conditions and ocean water temperature. The strength and persistence of the developed density intrusions are influenced by wind, insolation and estuary depth. Fresh water inflow at the head of the estuary had no impact on the density intrusions. Three-dimensional numerical modelling is thus a valuable tool in understanding the estuary and its functioning.     

Features of Monsoon, Typhoon and Sea Waves in the Taiwan Strait

For Future cross-sea passage spanning the Taiwan Strait, no matter what kind of scheme is adopted, its design, construction, and administration are closely related to marine hydrological and meteorological environmental elements. In this article, based on a great number of observed data, analyses for wave, typhoon, and monsoon conditions in the Taiwan strait region are made and their distributional features and character values are given. Especially, the wave height and occurrence frequencies of disastrous waves are analyzed, and the values of design wave parameters (wave height and period with a given return period) are estimated to use for the reference of the scheme optimization and project preliminary program of cross-sea passage spanning the strait.

Interannual salinity variations in the Tsushima Strait and its relation to the Changjiang discharge

Interannual salinity variations in the Tsushima Strait are investigated on the basis of historical hydrographic data. The EOF analysis revealed that the most dominant mode is the in-phase salinity variation between the eastern and western channels. The time coefficients of the EOF first mode in summer show a negative correlation with the Changjiang discharge, which indicates that salinity in the Tsushima Strait tends to decrease over summer, related to a large discharge of the Changjiang. The eigenvectors of the first mode are larger in the eastern channel than those in the western channel, though the low salinity water mainly flows through the western channel. This is because the low salinity water spreads into the eastern channel as well as the western channel over summers with a large discharge of the Changjiang. The out-of-phase salinity variation between the channels is extracted as the EOF second mode; this is the predominant variation in the western channel. The time coefficients of the second mode in summer show no significant correlations to the volume transports through the western channel and the transport differences between channels. A relationship between the EOF second mode and variations in the wind stress over the East China Sea is suggested.     

冲绳海槽近3.5万a来陆源物质沉积通量及其对气候变化的响应

以冲绳海槽DGKS9603孔沉积物为研究对象,利用元素地球化学成分数据因子分析方法把混合源沉积物分离成陆源、火山源和生物源.结合沉积物干样密度和沉积速率对冲绳海槽近3.5万a以来沉积物中陆源物质沉积通量进行了估计,进而揭示陆源物质供应对气候变化的响应规律.研究表明,冲绳海槽的陆源物质主要来源于长江输运的我国大陆物质.在冰期—间冰期时间尺度上,海平面涨落导致的长江与海槽之间距离的伸缩是制约陆源物质通量变化的主要因素;在盛冰期和气候变冷事件(Heinrich事件)期间,东亚冬季风的增强使更多的粉砂级物质进入冲绳海槽,导致陆源物质通量增加.冲绳海槽沉积物记录的Heinrich事件与增强的东亚冬季风密切相关.
