国产XBT海上比测方法研究及结果分析

随着国产投弃式温深仪(XBT)性能的提高,其使用范围和规模也逐步扩大,受某专项办的委托,厦门大学在南海东北部开展了"海洋监测设备适用性检验规范及海上试验研究(国家863计划)"项目,针对海洋技术领域研发的技术较为成熟、具备产品化条件的XBT开展检验与验证,对国产XBT的性能和实际使用情况进行分析和总结。试验中,在不同站点进行温盐深仪(CTD)现场测量,以此数据为真值对国产和进口XBT精度做评估。在较高速度走航测量时,则以进口XBT数据为参照,对国产XBT进行评估。试验结果表明,国产XBT整体上表现良好,成功率大概为80%,有些型号的国产XBT精度与进口XBT精度接近,但国产XBT无效剖面较多。同时也发现,进口XBT的精度无法满足预期比测的要求,不能准确计算出国产XBT精度,但结果仍然具有参考价值。本次试验可以为国产XBT的规模化应用和推广提供数据支持,也可为其他型号XBT/XCTD/CTD等仪器的比测提供借鉴。     

Hydrodynamic coefficients for a thick-walled bottomless cylindrical body floating in water of finite depth

The paper deals with the linearized hydrodynamic forces acting on a thick-walled, bottomless cylindrical body having vertical symmetry axis and oscillating in water of finite depth. For the solution of the radiation problem, the flow field around the structure is subdivided into ring-shaped fluid regions, in each of which an axisymmetric eigenfunction expansion for the velocity potential is made. By implementing Galerkin's method the various potential solutions are then matched and numerical results concerning the hydrodynamic coefficients for heave, surge and pitch motions, as well as the coupling terms between the last two modes are obtained.     

Padé coefficients for the solution of the wave dispersion equation under ice

The equations governing the propagation of linear gravity waves in ice-covered waters of finite depth is delineated for the linear elastic deformation of the ice plates that are modeled as elastically supported. The possible limiting condition for the validity of the assumptions involved in the formulation of the problem is discussed. A solution procedure for the solution of the wave dispersion equation under ice is discussed and a set of coefficients synthesized using the properties of infinite series and Padé approximants. Direct application of these coefficients for the calculation of wave characteristics in ice-covered sea will eliminate the need for iterative procedure, and hence will reduce the computational time. The derived coefficients were used for the computation of the wave characteristics of laboratory simulated waves and compared with the values obtained through iteration and the error was found to be less than 2%.

Rational approximations in the parabolic equation method for water waves

Approximations based on minimax principles are developed in order to allow for large-angle propagation in the parabolic equation method. Numerical studies show that the minimax approximations do not cause any significant degradation of accuracy at small angles of incidence when compared with an existing model based on a (1,1) Padé approximant, and that they allow for much more successful treatment of large angles of incidence than is possible using the previously available methods.     

The relationship between depth,substrate and ecology: A drop video study from the southeastern Australian coast

The relationship between hard substrate type, depth and ecology has not been widely investigated in Bass Strait, which separates mainland Australia from Tasmania. As this water body is important to the State, a study along the Victorian coastline using an inexpensive Along Track Video (ATV) system, along with equipment to record depths and locations, was implemented. A better understanding of the correlation between hard substrate, depth and ecology was thought to be valuable to enable researchers to determine to what extent the benthic biological communities depend on physical factors. This understanding should improve procedures to predict the seafloor ecology on the basis of geological and oceanographic data. The dominant species assemblages and geomorphology, among other characteristics, were observed and recorded for each transect. In the sites investigated, depth appears to have a greater influence on dominant assemblages than does the type of hard substrate. The study also served to show that inexpensive ATV systems can be successfully used to study macro-sessile marine resources.     

Relation between the diffuse attenuation coefficient and the Secchi depth

A semi-empirical model of the relation between the diffuse attenuation coefficient α↓ and the Secchi depth Z _w is suggested. According to the model, the parameter Ψ = α↓Z _w is not a constant value; it increases when Z _w increases. From experimental observation data, the relationship Ψ = f(Z _w) has been established, which confirms the model calculations.     

Empirical relationship between eelgrass extent and predicted watershed-derived nitrogen loading for shallow New England estuaries

Seagrasses provide important ecological services that directly or indirectly benefit human well-being and the environment. Excess nitrogen inputs are a major cause of eelgrass loss in the marine environment. Here we describe the results of a study aimed at quantifying the extent of eelgrass as a function of predicted watershed-derived nitrogen loading for small-to-medium-sized shallow estuaries in New England. Findings confirm that reduced extent of eelgrass corresponds to increased loading of nitrogen to this class of estuary. At lower levels of nitrogen loading (≤50 Kg ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹), eelgrass extent is variable and is likely controlled by other ecosystem factors unrelated to water quality. At higher loading rates, eelgrass coverage decreases markedly, with essentially no eelgrass at loading levels ≥100 Kg ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹.     

Availability of an equation to evaluate error by optical path discretization in radiative transfer computation based on the successive order of scattering method

The availability of an equation to evaluate the influence of multiple scattering in the single scattering process corresponding to a layer of arbitrary optical thickness was established. In order to confirm the validity of this equation, the radiance distribution in this layer was computed using a plane–parallel layer model based on the successive order of scattering method. The relative errors in a radiance distribution computed were evaluated as a function of optical thickness by the derived equation. It was shown that this equation provides a theoretical background for determining layer thickness using the plane–parallel layer model.     

一种计算有限水深波能功率的新方法

海洋波浪能平均功率的准确计算是波浪能开发和利用的基础。实践中,波浪能转换装置一般安装在有限水深区域。对于随机波,只有当详尽的波浪谱已知的时候,有限水深区的波能功率才能被准确计算出来。由于种种原因,实践中波浪的实测数据大多以散点图或有义波高和统计波周期的形式给出,而波浪谱信息有时则很难获得。基于这种情况,传统上人们利用无限水深条件下的相关公式来估算有限水深区域的波能功率,但这种做法会造成较大的误差。本研究显示,对于50 m水深的理论波谱JONSWAP谱来说该误差高达14.6%。为了提高波能功率计算的准确性,本文提出了一种基于能量频率的一阶和二阶近似算法,可以在未知波浪谱的情况下较为准确地计算不同水深时的波能功率。针对两种理论波浪谱的计算结果表明,本方法在计算有限带宽内的波能功率时计算误差低于2.8%。     

On the parabolic equation method in internal wave propagation

A parabolic equation for the propagation of periodic internal waves over varying bottom topography is derived using the multiple-scale perturbation method. Some computational aspects of the numerical implementation are discussed. The results of numerical experiments on propagation of an incident plane wave over a circular-type shoal are presented in comparison with the analytical result, based on Born approximation.     

New heat flow measurements in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea (Sea of Japan): relationship to local BSR depth, and implications for regional heat flow distribution

In July 2007, new marine heat flow data were collected at ten sites (HF01–10) in the central and southwestern sectors of the Ulleung Basin (East Sea or Sea of Japan) as part of regional gas hydrate research. In addition, cores were collected at five of these sites for laboratory analysis. The results show that the geothermal gradient ranged from 103–137 mK/m, and the in-situ thermal conductivity from 0.82–0.95 W/m·K. Laboratory measurements of thermal conductivity were found to deviate by as much as 40% from the in-situ measurements, despite the precautions taken to preserve the cores. Based on the in-situ conductivity, the heat flow was found to increase with water depth toward the center of the basin, ranging from 84–130 mW/m². Using a simple model, we estimated the heat flow from the depths of the BSR, and compared this with the observed heat flow. In our study area, the two sets of values were quite consistent, the observed heat flows being slightly higher than the BSR-derived ones. The evaluation of regional pre-1994 data revealed that the heat flow varied widely from 51–157 mW/m² in and around the basin. Due to a large scatter in these older data, a clear relationship between heat flow and water depth was not evident, in contrast to what would be expected for a rifted sedimentary basin. This raises the question as to whether the pre-1994 data represent the true background heat flow from the underlying basin crust since the basin opening, and/or whether they contain large measurement errors. In fact, evidence in support of the latter explanation exists. BSRs are generally found in the deep parts of the basin, and vary by only ±15 m in depth below the seafloor. From the average BSR depth, we inferred the background heat flow using a simple model, which in the case of the Ulleung Basin is approximately 120 and 80 mW/m² for 2.5 and 1 km below sea level, respectively.

Evolution equation for the error correlation function of vorticity prediction used by a barotropic synoptic motion model to assimilate data

An exact equation is derived for the error correlation function of model processes, governed by a barotropic vortex balance equation in a linear approximation. This equation can be effectively applied to assimilate data with small spatial-temporal discreteness when the assumption on error correlation function's stationarity (homogeneity, isotropicity) proves to be incorrect and leads to unsatisfactory results.Translated by Vladimir A.
