The underwater vocalizations of the beluga whale summering in Onega Bay (64°24′N, 35°49′E) were recorded in June–July of 2008.
The vocalizations were classified into five major whistle types, four types of pulsed tones, click series, and noise vocalizations.
To determine the relationship between the behavioral activity and the underwater vocalizations, a total of fifty-one 2 minute-long
samples of the audio records were analyzed in the next six behavioral contexts: directional movements, quiet swimming, resting,
social interactions, individual hunting behavior, and the exploration of hydrophones by beluga whales. The overall vocalization
rate and the percentage of the main types of signals depend on the behavior of the belugas. We suggest that one of the whistle
types (the “stereotype whistle”) is used by belugas for long-distance communications, while other whistle types (with the
exception of “squeaks”) and three types of pulsed tones (with the exception of “vowels”) are used for short distance communication.
The percentage of “squeaks” and “vowels” was equally high in all the behavioral situations. Thus, we assume that “squeaks”
are contact signals. “Vowels” have a specific physical structure and probably play a role in identification signals. A high
rate of the click series was observed in the process of social interactions. 相似文献

A proxy named “upwelling age”, defined as the ratio of wind time scale to “advection time”, was developed to quantify the
local tendency for coastal upwelling. The formulation of the “advection time” was derived from Ekman theory. A 3D numerical
model was used to validate and refine the theoretical formula by simulating a total of 30 cases of different bottom topographies
and wind stresses. The results agree reasonably well with the theoretical formulation although some modifications are necessary.
The final formulation of the “advection time” was parameterized as a function of pycnocline depth, bottom slope, and wind
stress. 相似文献

Submarine fans of different sizes, geometry, and petrology were built in the Marnoso-arenacea Basin, a migrating foredeep
within an active continental margin. In an initial depositional stage, a well-developed basin plain received sediment from
flows that by-passed restricted fan systems, now buried, located near the north end of an elongated basin. Minor fans grew
near the steeper, tectonically deformed side of the basin. In the later stage, turbidite deposition was stopped in the former
basin plain. Sediment sources and feeder channels shifted and fed fan lobes that prograded in a narrower trough and were distored
(choked). The tectonic control on development of megasequence and sand bodies is stressed here in contrast with previous emphasis
on “inner” or “autocyclic” mechanisms.

The presence of gas is a common feature in many seismic sections. However, the origin of the gas is often difficult to determine.
Recently acquired very high resolution seismic profiles using an IKB Seistec boomer provide useful insight to the understanding
of the gas origins in a range of environmental settings including sea lochs and coastal lagoons. The gas features are described
both from a qualitative point of view through their acoustic facies, and quantitatively through the associated seismic signal
(polarisation, amplitude). Acoustic facies include acoustic turbidity, gas “curtains” and “blankets” as well as “white fringes”
and “black shadows”. All the features encountered have been related to specific gas nature generated by different sources
(organic matter degradation in paleo-valley infillings, waste material effluent). 相似文献

Characteristics of different types of river drainage were obtained during studies of a polygon in the near-mouth part of the
Volga River in 2000–2003: “fast” (flowing through deep channels) and “slow” (that which passes through the littoral parts
of the delta (1–2 m)). The low current velocities (lower than in the channel waters by a factor of ten), the abundance of
water vegetation, and the strong heating of the waters lead to the high intensity of the biochemical processes. Therefore,
the chemical composition of the waters is subjected to significant transformation with intensity so high that it allows comparing
these regions with some sort of “bioreactor.” These changes influence the dissolved oxygen and various forms of carbon content. 相似文献

Two suites of slumps from opposite margins of the Gulf of Mannar, between Sri Lanka and southern India, have met and coalesced.
The “Eastern Comorin” Slump is the more coherent of the two with a length of 70 to 100 km. The “Colombo” side slump consists
of two to four blocks 15 to 35 km in length. Both slump-suites decrease to the south. A paleoslump underlies the western toe
of the East Comorin Slump at a depth of some 800 meters. To the south, an enlarging and deepening submarine canyon marks the
area of slump coalescence. 相似文献

Based on the scatterometer QuickScat wind data and the water-leaving radiances from the ocean color scanner SeaWiFS data for
2000–2004, we composed a pair of mean annual images of a testing site in the South Caspian Sea under conditions of west-bound
and east-bound winds corresponding to the offset and onset state of the shallows in the east of the testing site. It was established
that both the “offset” and “onset” radiances grow shorewards, but the former becomes about twice as large as the latter in
the middle of the shallows with 10–15 m of water, while their difference tends to zero at the seaward and coastal boundaries
of the shallow. These and other findings are hypothetically attributable to the inclination of the sea floor of the shallows,
due to which the surfacing of bottom sediments resuspended by the drift current takes less time under the “offset” wind conditions
than under the “onset” ones. The study’s results indicate that the effect of the bottom sediments resuspension upon the structure
of the images of the marine shallows is universal in character and needs to be taken into account to improve the bio-optical
algorithms for estimating the admixtures in the thickness of the shallows from the satellite data. 相似文献

We describe a new measuring complex aimed at the investigation of small-scale processes in the upper active layer of the sea.
The necessity of creation of a complex of this sort is justified and a circle of problems that can be solved with the help
of this complex is described. The scales of resolution of horizontal and vertical inhomogeneities in measuring in the mode
of vertical probing are theoretically estimated. The basic technical characteristics of the complex are presented. We also
present the results of laboratory and field tests, which confirm the agreement between the calculated and actual technical
possibilities of the complex. The structural features of various versions of the “Sigma-1” measuring complex (the “Sigma-1P”
point-to-point-operation version and the “Sigma-1Z” probing version) are described.

We make an attempt to answer the following question: how a natural stationary system formed by a layer and an interface “selects”
a unique set of governing parameters from a great number of possible collections under the conditions of double-diffusion
layer convection (e.g., for the bottom boundary layer in the Black Sea)? As the “rule of selection,” we use the principle
of minimum entropy production for systems close to the state of thermodynamic equilibrium. In the process of solution of the
problem, the system is regarded as a heat engine. The proposed approach is reduced to a simple procedure of application of
the principle of minimum entropy production to the analyzed case. The combined analysis of the theoretical results, the data
of deepwater field measurements in the Black Sea, and the results of laboratory experiments leads us to the conclusion that,
most likely, the stationary system “selects” its governing parameters according to the Prigogine–Glansdorff principle. The
density ratio (approximately equal to three for the stationary case) proves to be the key parameter of the system.

We consider the problem of disagreement between the theoretical and experimental values of the spectral volume scattering
function of “pure” filtered water. To explain this disagreement, we advance a hypothesis of existence of two-dimensional space
correlations between the locations of a finely divided suspension in the liquid. We deduce analytic relations for the scattering
of light in the approximation of statistically equilibrium distribution of particles over the surfaces of spheres randomly
arranged in the medium. The experimental data on the volume scattering function of “pure” filtered water (the sizes of particles
do not exceed 0.2 μm) are analyzed. The results of numerical analysis according to the model of spherical surface distribution
of finely divided particles in water are in qualitative agreement with the spectral volume scattering function of filtered
water.

We executed investigations of Mediterranean lenses detection in the Atlantic using data recorded by buoys-profilers of the
“Argo” project (more than 11200 profiles). We investigate the region from 28° to 47° N and from 7° to 27° W for the period
from 2001 to 2010. From these data, we revealed “lenses profiles” with the salinity values exceeding 36 psu (2043 cases).
We demonstrate the allocation of Argo buoys in the area investigated and indicate their working periods; we also show the
periodicity of the “lenses profiles.” It was found out that the Argo buoys traced individual lenses and depicted correctly
their movements, the vertical scale of the eddy, its location in the depth, and the hydrological peculiarities of the lenses.
We estimated the number of lenses occurring in different periods and analyzed the interaction of the Argo buoy with the intrathermocline
lenses. The importance of these investigations for studying the Mediterranean water dynamics was pointed out. 相似文献

Hydrographic surveys and satellite imaging reveal that mesoscale anticyclonic (AC) eddies are common features of the area
south of Bussol' Strait, the deepest of the Kuril straits connecting the western North Pacific and Sea of Okhotsk. To examine
the velocity structure of these eddies, we deployed groups of 15-m drogued satellite-tracked surface drifters over the Kuril-Kamchatka
Trench in the fall of 1990 and late summer of 1993. Drifters in both groups entered large AC eddies centered over the axis
of the trench seaward of Bussol' Strait and subsequently underwent a slow northeastward translation. One drifter (Drifter
1315) deployed near the center of the “Bussol' eddy” in 1990, remained in the eddy for roughly 45 days and made five loops
at successively greater distances from the eddy center. Large-amplitude (80–100 cm/s) storm-generated inertial oscillations
were observed during the first two loops. The vorticity field associated with the eddy resulted in a Doppler “red-shift” of
inertial frequency motions such that the “effective” inertial period of 21 hours was roughly 4 hours greater than the nominal
inertial period for the drifter latitude (45°N). In 1993, a second drifter (Drifter 15371) was retained in the Bussol' eddy
for about 40 days. This eddy had characteristics similar to those of the 1990 eddy but was devoid of significant high-frequency
motions until the drifter's final half loop. The observed spatial scales, persistence, and slow poleward translation of the
eddies suggests that they play an important role in the dynamics of the East Kamchatka and Oyashio current systems.

Based on the experimental data obtained in 1990–1993 by the method of isotopic tracers with the help of a stable isotope of
nitrogen (15N), we establish basic regularities of the formation of “new” and regeneration production in the Black Sea and reveal the
factors specifying their combination. It is shown that the rates of nitrate and ammonium uptake by microplankton vary from
the minimum values in winter to the maximum values in summer. In the surface layer, the uptake of nitrates corresponding to
the amount of “new” production in deep-water layers is equal to ∼ 50% (in winter) and ∼ 30% (in summer) of the total uptake
of inorganic nitrogen compounds by microplankton. In the zone of photosynthesis, the average fractions of nitrates are equal
to 31 ± 10% in winter and 41 ± 10% in summer. The minimum values of this parameter are attained in the middle of spring and
in autumn. The fraction of “new” production (f-ratio) and the integral content of nitrates in the zone of photosynthesis are connected by a hyperbolic dependence. The period
of cyclic transformations of nitrates in this zone decreases from several dozens of days at the beginning of winter to 12
h in the mid-spring. In summer, this period is equal, on the average, to one day. The average period of cyclic transformations
of ammonium is equal to 15 ± 4 h in winter and 5 ± 3 h in summer.

The Volga River discharge consists of the waters transferred by fast currents through channels and the waters which are passing
through the shallow areas of the delta overgrown by cane. Using the hydrochemical data, it is possible to track distribution
of the waters modified by “biofilters” of macrophytes in the delta shallows starting from the external edge of the delta.
The main distinctive features of these waters are the high content of dissolved oxygen, the abnormally high values of the
pH, and the low content of dissolved inorganic carbon (both total and as CO2). These waters extend in the shape of 1 to 3-km-wide strips at a distance of 20–40 km from the outer border of the delta.
The analysis of the data obtained during the expeditions run by the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences
in 2003–2009, along with archived and published data, show that such “modified” waters occur almost constantly along the outer
edge of the Volga River delta. 相似文献

We study the problem of the choice of initial approximation for the reflection and transmission coefficients in numerical
methods based on the principle of “interaction.” The disadvantages of the approximation of single scattering are demonstrated
and the regularities of propagation of light in media with strongly anisotropic scattering are analyzed. Semianalytic expressions
proposed for the evaluation of the initial approximation enable one to determine the characteristics of the light field in
plane-parallel media with relative errors of about 10−5 within the framework of the algorithm of “adding” of layers.

Wind-induced circulation and the distribution of hypoxia corresponding to the upwelling of oxygen-depleted water (called “Aoshio”
in Japan and “Sumishio” locally in Omura Bay) in Omura Bay, Japan, was examined field observations and by three-dimensional
modeling. During the calm weather in summer, well-mixed strait water, in rich oxygen at the mouth of the bay intruded into
the middle layer of the bay, southward and northward along the west and east coast, respectively, forming basin-scale cyclonic
circulation. A stagnant water mass was formed below the center of this cyclonic circulation, and it became hypoxic water.
As a result of the prevailing strong southeast (northeast) wind, the bottom hypoxia moved in a southeasterly (northeasterly)
direction. This induces the upwelling of hypoxic water, accompanied by mass mortality of marine organisms. 相似文献

The 20–30% differences between drifter- and altimetry-derived mean velocities reported at the ASUKA line (Affiliated Surveys
of the Kuroshio off Cape Ashizuri) are explained in terms of the non-Eulerian character of statistics of drifter trajectories'
crossovers with the TOPEX/Poseidon track. Larger mean drifter velocities are shown to result from the fact that more water
crosses the line when velocity is large, so that the “line” average velocity corresponds to the Eulerian quantity <V⋅|Vn|>/<|Vn|>, where Vn is a velocity component perpendicular to the line. Practical methods are suggested to correct the bias. General properties
of the “line” statistic and improvement of dynamical balance by correct accounting for the acceleration term are discussed.

This paper first describes the atmospheric correction algorithm for OCTS visible band data used at NASDA/EOC. Sharing a basic
structure with Gordon and Wang’s Sea WiFS algorithm, it uses 10 candidate aerosol models including the “Asian dust model”
introduced in consideration of the unique feature of aerosols over the east Asian waters. Based on the observations at 670
and 865 nm bands, the algorithm selects a pair of aerosol models that account best for the observed spectral reflectances,
and synthesizes the aerosol reflectance used for the atmospheric correction. Two different schemes for determining the value
of the parameter for the aerosol model selection are presented and their anticipated estimation error is analyzed in terms
of retrieved water reflectance at 443 nm. The results of our numerical simulation show that the standard deviation of the
estimation error of the “weighted average” scheme is mostly within the permissible level of ±0.002, reducing the error by
18% on average compared to the “simple average” scheme. The paper further discusses the expected error under the old CZCS-type
atmospheric correction, which assumes constant aerosol optical properties throughout the given image. Although our algorithm
has a better performance than the CZCS algorithm, further analysis shows that the error induced by the assumption taken in
the algorithm that the water-leaving radiance at 670 nm band is negligibly small may be large in high pigment concentration
waters, indicating the necessity for future improvements. 相似文献

Process-based numerical modelling of coastal morphodynamics involves model and data reduction schemes in order to cope with computational limitations. Model reduction, on the one hand, may involve the discretisation of an interactive multidimensional, diverse natural system into a reduced set of coupled process-simulation modules. Data reduction schemes, on the other hand, are used to parameterise processes. The use of schematised open-boundary conditions, which are considered as representative in terms of their cumulative morphological effect, is based on the concept of “morphological” or “representative” boundary conditions. Recent model applications show realistic tendencies in terms of depositional and erosional areas. By contrast, the reproduction of characteristic changes in morphology such as the migration of bars, banks and channels is only occasionally achieved. Using field data on observed morphological impact of a single storm event and numerical model data, it is demonstrated that the concept of representative tides may lead to simulations of morphological development lacking natural dynamics. It is proposed that rather than being based on “representative” single tides, morphodynamic models should be applied with open-boundary conditions which take variations in longer-term tidal and meteorological forcing into account. 相似文献

An improved method of two-dimensional kinematical structural analysis of tides (the “method of the orbits”) is presented.
This method allows us to determine the parameters of the primary tidal waves shaping the observed tidal structure. The construction
of the vertical orbits for the individual tidal harmonics is performed along the horizontal coordinate axes; one of them is
oriented along the so-called “reactive azimuth,” which coincides with the direction of the tidal current at the instant of
the zero tidal level. In this case, the orbit parameters include information on the amplitude-phase relations of the interfering
waves and allow us to determine the angle of the waves crossing. The suggested method enables us to quantitatively describe
the mechanism of the tidal formation with oblique interference both close to the shore and in the open sea. We tested the
new method in two local zones of the White Sea (Morzhovets Island and in the vicinity of the entrance to Kandalaksha Gulf)
where the presence of rotating semidiurnal tidal currents evidences the significant role of oblique interference of tidal
waves. In these zones, the developed method made it possible to perform a detailed quantitative analysis of the local tide
structure caused by the M2 tidal wave, which plays the dominant role in the White Sea. The result describes the structure of the propagation of the
primary tidal waves better than the field of “pure” energy fluxes that was used earlier. 相似文献
