北黄海夏季溶解氧与表观耗氧量年际变化时空模态

根据北黄海夏季断面1976~2015年历年8月监测资料,采用时空分析等方法,研究了北黄海夏季断面溶解氧含量和表观耗氧量年际变化时空模态.溶解氧含量与表观耗氧量年际变化分别有3种主要时空模态,第一、二模态是近底层水体低氧、贫氧年际变化的主要影响分量,第三模态是混合层水体高氧、富氧年际变化主要影响分量.生物活性组分(BAC)耗-生氧与海洋环流输送增减氧过程是夏季溶解氧含量与表观耗氧量年际变化主要影响因素,温跃层强度年际变化不是主要影响因素.2001年后,表层月海气氧通量年际变化由氧汇分布为主转变为氧源分布,表层溶解氧含量增大以及生物活性组分生氧作用增强年际变化是这种转变的原因.北黄海夏季断面年平均溶解氧含量、表观耗氧量空间分布相似性较低,夏季断面年平均温度、盐度以及沉积物需氧、风生环流是年平均溶解氧含量、表观耗氧量分布的主要影响因素.生物活性组分耗-生氧过程是断面各层月平均溶解氧含量、表观耗氧量年际变化主要影响因素,温度变化是次要因素.由于断面水体低氧幅度与贫氧面积显著线性增大,与30多年前比较,黄海溶解氧含量、表观耗氧量场季节变化空间分布与时间形态已经发生改变.     

Methane in the southern North Sea: Sources, spatial distribution and budgets

Measurements of methane (CH₄) so far have always shown supersaturation in the entire North Sea relative to the atmospheric partial pressure and the distribution of surface CH₄ reveals a distinct increase towards the shore. Since North Sea sediments presumably are an insignificant source for CH₄ the coastal contribution via rivers and tidal flats gains in importance.In this work, CH₄ data from the River Weser, the back barrier tidal flats of Spiekeroog Island (NW Germany), and the German Bight are presented. Results from the River Weser are compared to other rivers draining into the German Bight. Measurements in the tidal flat area of Spiekeroog Island highlight this ecosystem as an additional contributor to the overall CH₄ budget of the southern North Sea. A tidally driven CH₄ pattern is observed for the water column with maximum values during low tide. Tidal flat sediments turn out to be the dominating source because pore waters discharged during low tide are highly enriched in CH₄. In contrast, the freshwater contribution to the tidal flats by small coastal tributaries has almost no impact on water column CH₄ concentrations. The CH₄ level seems to be disturbed irregularly by wind forcing due to elevated degassing and prevention of advective flow when tidal flats remain covered by water.Based on our data, two model calculations were used to estimate the impact of tidal flats on the CH₄ budget in the German Bight. Our results demonstrate that the back barrier tidal flats of the east Frisian Wadden Sea contribute CH₄ in an order of magnitude between the Wash estuary and River Elbe and thus have to be considered in budget calculations.     

1991年冬季菲律宾以东海流特征和盐度结构

本文根据１９９１年１１月１５日～１２月２０日中国世界大洋环流实验（简称ＣＷＯＣＥ）首航ＡＤＣＰ测流资料并结合日本气象厅的ＡＣＭ次表层测流资料（１９９２年１月２０日～２月１５日），描述了菲律宾以东的海流特征。同时应用该航次ＣＴＰ资料计算了各观测断面的地转流流量，并用盐度跟踪讨论了北赤道逆流（ＮＥＣＣ）、黑潮和棉兰老海流的水源。计算和分析表明，本航次期间有３个强流区，即黑潮源头区、棉兰老沿岸区和北赤道逆流区。此外，本航次本区海流特征与１９８６／１９８７ＥＮＳＯ事件同期的海流特征基本相同。     

北黄海夏季温盐年际变化时空模态与气候响应

根据北黄海断面1976~2015年历年8月温度、盐度与长岛气候要素资料,采用旋转经验正交函数(REOF)、最大熵谱分析和延迟相关分析等方法,研究了北黄海断面夏季温度、盐度年际变化时空模态与气候响应.断面温度主要有4种时空模态:第一、二模态为海洋因素影响的年际变化分量,渤海断面夏季温度分量和7月太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)指数的线性与非线性作用是主要影响因素.第三、四模态为海洋与大气因素影响的年际变化分量,渤海断面夏季温度分量、断面冬季表层平均温度、7月风驱环流强度和5月PDO指数的线性和非线性作用是主要影响因素.断面盐度主要有4种时空模态:第一模态为海洋与大气因素影响的年际变化分量,渤海夏季盐度、夏季降水量及断面冬季表层盐度是主要影响因素;8月纬向风驱环流是次要影响因素.第二至四模态为大气因素影响的年际变化分量,7、8月风驱环流强度和夏季降水量是主要影响因素.北黄海夏季风驱环流分布是北黄海断面夏季温盐年际平均分布的主要影响因素.断面温盐垂直层结年际变化为准平衡态周期年际变化.北黄海断面冷水团月平均温度和面积为准平衡态周期年际变化,断面温度第三模态、断面冬季表层平均温度是断面冷水团月强度年际变化的主要影响因素,7月PDO指数是非线性影响因素.北黄海断面冷水团月平均盐度为显著线性低盐趋势周期年际变化,断面盐度的第一至三模态以及渤海断面夏季盐度分量的线性和非线性作用是冷水团月平均盐度年际变化的主要影响因素.北黄海断面夏季冷水团中平均温度、盐度的长期变化趋势是不同的,不存在长期稳定的比例关系.     

北黄海典型水域春夏季浮游植物的昼夜变化

根据黄海西北部2006年夏季3个连续站和2007年春季1个连续站垂直分层拖网的调查资料,研究了黄海西北部典型海区浮游植物的昼夜垂直变化.夏季共检出浮游植物79种,主要优势种为旋链角毛藻Chaetoceros curvisetus、梭角藻Ceratium fusus、三角角藻Ceratium tripos和具槽帕拉藻Paralia sulcata;春季检出51种,主要优势种为浮动弯角藻Eucampia zodiacus、具槽帕拉藻和尖刺伪菱形藻Pseudo-nitzschia pungens.夏季L01站受潮汐的影响各水层低潮期浮游植物细胞丰度高于高潮期,垂直分布趋势为表层细胞丰度最高,底层最低.而由于底栖硅藻的细胞再悬浮作用夏季L02、L03站和春季L02站底层细胞丰度高于表层,但各水层细胞丰度的昼夜变化相对较平缓.     

The hydrography and biology of a bloom of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi in the northern North Sea

In June/July 1994 a study was made of a small bloom of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi in an area of the North Sea to the east of the Shetland Islands. Observations on the hydrography of the study area indicated the bloom was associated with Atlantic water and was confined to an area in which a stable shallow mixed layer had formed. There was no evidence to suggest association of horizontal physical structure with the bloom development. High cell densities of >1– cells dm⁻³, together with low concentrations of PIC (<50 μg dm⁻³) and detached liths (2– liths cm⁻³) indicated that the bloom was studied at an early stage of development. Biochemical and physiological observations indicated active growth was taking place. The results presented are discussed in comparison with previous studies carried out in both oceanic and shelf seas.     

夏、秋季南黄海小型底栖动物空间分布格局及其环境影响因素

为研究南黄海小型底栖动物的空间分布格局及其环境影响因素,于2020年8月（夏季）和11月（秋季）对南黄海进行了两个航次的野外观测和采样,对小型底栖动物的类群组成、丰度、生物量、垂直分布、群落结构及其与环境因子的关系进行了研究。结果显示,共鉴定出小型底栖动物类群15个,其中自由生活海洋线虫为最优势类群,在两个航次中分别占小型底栖动物总丰度的75.6%和84.6%。其他较重要的类群还包括底栖桡足类、轮虫类和枝角类等。夏季和秋季小型底栖动物的平均丰度分别为（514.9±32.1）ind./(10 cm²) 和（350.8±30.7）ind./(10 cm²),平均生物量（干质量）分别为（651.7±98.0）μg/(10 cm²)和（589.2±37.1）μg/(10 cm²)。小型底栖动物在时空分布上存在差异。在季节分布上,小型底栖动物丰度和类群组成存在极显著差异。结合环境因子分析结果可知,沉积物中值粒径是引起差异的主要环境因子。在空间分布上,夏季小型底栖动物丰度和类群组成在不同水深间存在极显著差异,秋季小型底栖动物丰度和类群组成在不同水深间差异不显著。推测黄海冷水团是影响夏季小型底栖动物空间分布差异的主要因素。本研究中小型底栖动物的数量和类群多样性相较于国内其他对南黄海小型底栖动物的研究较低,其中沉积物叶绿素a含量及有机质含量是引起南黄海小型底栖动物丰度变化的重要因素。海洋线虫与桡足类的丰度比值（N/C比值）评估显示秋季该区域存在有机污染,这一结果与应用大型底栖动物对同一区域进行环境评价的结果不一致,对于应用N/C比值评价环境质量还需要进一步的研究。     

The distribution of macrozoobenthos in the southern North Sea in relation to meso-scale bedforms

This study investigates the distribution of macrozoobenthos in relation to meso-scale bedforms in the southern North Sea. Three sites on the Dutch Continental Shelf were sampled that are representative of large areas of the North Sea and show diverse morphological settings. These sites are (i) part of a shoreface-connected ridge, (ii) the lower part of a concave shoreface and (iii) a sandwave area. Within these sites, two or three different morphological units were distinguished. Sampling was undertaken in two seasons for two consecutive years. The species composition was analysed for differences in benthic assemblage within sites, based on the meso-scale morphology, and between sites and seasons. In addition, the benthic assemblage was correlated to water depth, median grain size (D50) and sorting (D60/D10). Results show that significant differences in the benthic assemblage can be found related to meso-scale bedforms, but macro-scale morphological setting and seasonal effects are more important.
