0608号台风“桑美”过境前后对长江口外海域环境的影响

台风是短期改变海洋环境的重要动力因素,会对近岸河口环境产生巨大的影响.基于0608号台风“桑美”过境前后长江口外海域多个站位的调查资料,分析了台风过境前后长江口外海域温度、盐度、浊度等环境要素的变化.结果表明:在台风引起的水体平流输运和垂向混合作用下,长江口外海域的温度、盐度、浊度等结构发生了较大改变.表层水体的温度降低,盐度增大;底层水体温度升高,盐度降低;温跃层厚度增大,层结构强度减弱;东部海域的盐跃层基本消失,温盐跃层对营养盐垂向输运的限制减弱,导致叶绿素a浓度值升高;台湾暖流底层冷水明显向近岸涌升,近岸上升流特征更为显著,同时台湾暖流底层冷水的中心位置向东偏移;水体浊度减小,尤其是近岸水深较浅海域,细颗粒沉积物被强平流作用输运.      

基于FVCOM数值模拟和观察资料的长江冲淡水转向机制分析

应用FVCOM海洋模式,建立长江口附近海域海洋模型。通过径流、风场、潮汐、斜压和背景流场等不同环境因素下的数值模拟并结合"我国近海海洋综合调查与评价"专项长江口区域的调查资料进行分析,对长江冲淡水的扩展情况进行研究。数值实验再现了长江冲淡水在夏季的转向现象,通过实验对比分析发现长江冲淡水的转向主要是受风场控制,其中斜压效应、潮汐潮流、背景流场对冲淡水的转向影响不明显。长江径流和潮汐潮流只影响长江口附近的较小区域,背景流场本身比较稳定,对长江冲淡水扩展的季节变化影响不大,斜压效应在长江冲淡水转向过程中所起作用较小。     

台湾海峡西部表层沉积物磁化率特征

为研究台湾海峡西部表层沉积物磁化率变化特征及其控制因素,对采自平潭至汕尾近海海域的228个表层沉积物样品进行了磁化率分析,得出低频磁化率和频率磁化率值均呈从近岸向外海递减趋势,且厦门湾以北近岸海域的低频磁化率明显高于厦门湾以南的,频率磁化率在平潭岛外侧和汕尾近岸海域相对较高,且自平潭岛向南,有一明显的递减趋势。通过和前人关于台湾海峡西部沉积物类型和重矿物分布研究的对比发现台湾海峡西部表层沉积物磁化率在近岸细粒沉积物中高,外海粗颗粒沉积物中低,磁化率值的变化趋势和沉积物中磁铁矿含量的变化趋势一致,说明台湾海峡西部磁化率和频率磁化率主要受沉积作用和沉积物来源的影响。     

东海海—气界面二氧化碳通量的季节变化与控制因素研究进展

通过对东海海—气界面二氧化碳(CO2)交换有关研究的总结,剖析了东海表层海水CO2分压(pCO2)的区域分布特征,探讨了海—气界面CO2通量(FCO2)的季节变化规律,诠释了影响海—气界面CO2转移的主要因素.结果表明,东海表层海水pCO2的区域分布具有明显的季节变化,可将其分为冬季、夏季、过渡季节(春季、秋季)3个时段.冬季西部近岸海域由于水体垂直交换强烈,造成表层水体pCO2较高,而中、东部陆架海域由于浮游生物的光合作用使得pCO2较低.夏季近岸河口海域由于陆源输入的影响导致pCO2较高,中、东部陆架海域受温跃层、长江冲淡水、浮游植物的综合作用pCO2较低.春季、秋季为过渡时段,表层海水pCO2分布变化剧烈,受控因素较为复杂.东海全年表现为大气CO2的净汇,其中冬、春、夏为碳汇,其海—气界面FCO2分别为(-6.68±6.93),(-4.94±0.80),(-3.67±1.09)mmol/(m2·d).秋季表现为碳源,通量约为(1.50±8.37)mmoL/(m2·d).东海全年平均通量约为-3.16 mmol/(m2·d),共可吸收CO2约为6.92×106 t C/a.不同季节海—气界面FCO2的年际变化凸显了人为因素的影响,近海富营养化加剧,三峡工程的运行都可能是造成东海冬季碳汇量减少、秋季碳源/汇格局转变的原因.     

南黄海悬浮体的垂直分布特性及其指示意义

重点研究了南黄海典型断面的悬浮体垂直分布特性及其指示意义。结果表明:四季南海黄海北部断面悬浮体分布的共同特征是西高东低,冬、春季鲁北沿岸流携带悬浮体向南输运和黄海暖流北上是南黄海与北黄海进行物质交换的重要方式和途径;夏半年南黄海中部断面深水域存在的表层云团状悬浮体高值区或"中层悬浮体最大值"现象与该海域的生物活动具有密切的联系;冬、春季苏北浅滩外侧海域近岸区的悬浮体含量显著高于夏、秋季,且冬半年近岸区的悬浮体具有向外海输运的趋势;长江口东北部断面各季节均存在2个悬浮体高值区,其中位于断面西部近岸海域的高值区与长江冲淡水(夏季)或苏北沿岸水(冬季)的影响有关,位于断面东部深水域处的悬浮体高值区是黄海西部沿岸流物质输运的结果,并与济州岛西南部海域的泥质区总体相对应,黄海与东海的物质交换过程主要通过夏季长江冲淡水东北向扩展与冬半年黄海西部沿岸流南下和黄海暖流北上进行。另外,水体层化和陆架锋也显著影响着南黄海悬浮体的垂直分布状况,锋面是控制夏季悬浮体向外海深水区输运的主要物理机制。

渤海表层悬浮泥沙的空间模态及其时间变化

针对整个渤海海域悬浮泥沙分布全貌研究的不足,基于2000-2004年连续5年的354个SeaWiFS反演的渤海表层悬沙浓度资料,经多年月平均得到其季节变化特征;通过经验正交函数分解,给出其空间模态及时间系数,揭示渤海表层悬浮泥沙的空间分布特征及其随时间的变化。渤海表层悬沙浓度除秦皇岛海域外近岸高,离岸低,辽东湾东岸浓度远大于西岸;冬季浓度最高,春秋次之,除河口海域外夏季浓度最低;河口海域冬夏季均为浓度高值区。经验正交分解显示第一空间模态反映渤海悬沙浓度的总体分布特征,其显著变化周期为12个月,显示渤海表层悬沙的季节变化特征。第二空间模态反映黄河入海径流对渤海表层悬沙浓度分布格局的影响, 其周期为6个月,代表黄河口海域悬沙浓度的变化周期。第三模态显示渤海不同海域悬沙浓度的增加或减小过程并不同步,存在明显的位相差异。     

长江口及其邻近海域富营养化水平评价

根据2004年4个季度2、5、8、11月的调查资料,选择化学耗氧量、溶解氧、活性磷酸盐、溶解无机氮和叶绿素a作为评价因子,利用人工神经网络模型对长江口及其邻近海域的营养水平进行评价。结果表明,富营养化区域主要集中在口门附近,富营养化程度由口门向东和东北方向递减。富营养化范围几乎均分布在盐度小于20的一侧,并随着长江冲淡水的变化而发生季节性的变化。5月和8月的富营养化比较严重,且都有转向东北的趋势,可能与5月进入丰水期长江冲淡水转向有关。断面分布表明,各个季度月由河口向东,富营养化评价等级由高到低,垂直方向则呈现复杂的变化。分析表明影响富营养化的主要评价指标是溶解无机氮。     

Physical and chemical properties of the waters of saline lakes and their importance for deep-water renewal: Lake Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan

The relationships between electrical conductivity, temperature, salinity, and density are studied for brackish Lake Issyk-Kul. These studies are based on a newly determined major ion composition, which for the open lake shows a mean absolute salinity of 6.06 g kg⁻¹. The conductivity-temperature relationship of the lake water was determined experimentally showing that the lake water is about 1.25 times less conductive than seawater diluted to the same absolute salinity as that of the lake water. Based on these results, an algorithm is presented to calculate salinity from in-situ conductivity measurements. Applied to the field data, this shows small but important vertical salinity variations in the lake with a salinity maximum at 200 m and a freshening of the surface water with increasing proximity to the shores. The algorithm we adopt to calculate density agrees well with earlier measurements and shows that at 20°C and 1 atm Lake Issyk-Kul water is about 530 g m⁻³ denser than seawater at the same salinity. The temperature of maximum density at 1 atm is about 0.15°C lower than that for seawater diluted to the same salinity. Despite its small variations, salinity plays an important role, together with temperature changes, in the static stability and in the production of deep-water in this lake. Changes in salinity may have had important consequences on the mixing regime and the fate of inflowing river water over geological time. Uncharged silicic acid is negligible for the stability of the water column except near an ∼15 m thick nepheloid layer observed at the bottom of the deep basin.     

Groundwater investigation in Kuala Selangor using vertical electrical sounding (VES) surveys

Integrated geoelectrical and hydrochemical surveys were used to investigate and delineate different types of groundwater in the Kuala Selangor alluvial aquifer. Previous hydrogeological borehole investigation showed that this aquifer contains several types of groundwater in relation to its salinity. The high salinity of the groundwater in some areas is believed to be due to either saltwater intrusion from the nearby sea or river infiltration during high tide season. The vertical electrical sounding (VES) method was employed to study and map the subsurface variation of resistivity in the area. For each sounding measurement, a total spread length of 300 m was obtained with a vertical depth penetration of about 60 to 75 m. Chemical analysis of the groundwater samples taken from both shallow and deep boreholes was carried out for the water quality determination. A total of 45 VES stations were succesfully established along three parallel roads with a direction almost perpendicular to the coastal line. The distance between stations varies from 1 to 2 km with a maximum length of about 60 km surveyed line. Results of the vertical electrical soundings as well as the hydrochemistry of the groundwater samples show that the soil and groundwater in the study area can be grouped into fresh and brackish water zones. The subsurface resisitivity sections derived from the VES study suggest that the area is dominated by brackish soil and groundwater zones, especially in the area towards the coast. This result appears to agree well with the groundwater pumped from boreholes scattered around in the area. Water drawn from boreholes near the coast showed higher salinity compared to the water pumped from inland boreholes. Chloride values greater than 250 mg/L are considered to represent the brackish zones whilst values less than 250 mg/L represents zones of fresh soil and groundwater.     

Dynamics of suspended matter concentration in Chupa Inlet (Karelian Coast,the White Sea) in summer and autumn

Studies on the water and suspended matter concentration dynamics were performed for the summer and autumn periods in Kruglaya Bay, Chupa Inlet (Karelian Coast, the White Sea). The tidal cycle appeared as the major factor defining the water salinity, temperature, and suspended matter concentration. The water temperature and suspended matter concentration increased during low tide, and the opposite pattern was observed for water salinity; all the processes were true for both surface and bottom water layers. Therefore, we conclude that major bulk of the allochtonous suspended matter is carried into the sea by the ebb stream.     

Oceanic and Hydrologic Influences on Flow and Water Properties in the St. Jones River Estuary,Delaware

Influences of tides, freshwater discharge, and winds on water properties in the St. Jones River estuary (USA), a Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve, were investigated using multiyear records of sea level, salinity, and turbidity, supplemented by a current profiler time series in 2007. Results demonstrate that instantaneous properties fluctuate with semidiurnal tides and resonant overtides, whereas tidal mean variations are forced by seasonal freshwater inflow and offshore winds. Mean sea level and salinity are highest in summer and vary with seasonal water temperature and rainfall, whereas sea level variability and turbidity are highest in winter on account of storm effects. Salinity and discharge modeling suggest that much (43–65%) of the freshwater resident in the estuary is derived from non-point sources below the head of tide. This diffuse freshwater inflow produces a seaward surface slope and weak mean current, which temporarily reverses under the influence of storm–wind setup within Delaware Bay.     

磨刀门河口环流与咸淡水混合层化机制

为研究磨刀门盐水混合层化特征,基于SCHISM模型,建立了三维盐度数值模型,根据实测资料对其进行验证。结合水体势能异常理论,对枯季磨刀门河口混合层化的时空变化特征及深槽与浅滩的层化机制差异进行分析。结果表明:磨刀门河口小潮时水体层化最强,中潮时水体层化最弱,且拦门沙至挂定角段水体层化始终较强。磨刀门深槽水体层化主要受纵向平流、纵向水深平均应变和垂向混合影响,而浅滩水体层化则受横向平流、横向水深平均应变和垂向混合影响;磨刀门河口表、底层水体湍动能耗散率较高,而中间水层存在低耗散区,且涨潮时湍动能耗散率比落潮时大。     

Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and hydrologic mixing in a subtropical riverine estuary,southwest Florida,USA

Physical and chemical parameters were measured in a subtropical estuary with a blind river source in southwest Florida, United States, to assess seasonal discharge of overland flow and groundwater in hydrologic mixing. Water temperature, pH, salinity, alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), δ¹⁸O, and δ¹³C_DIC varied significantly due to seasonal rainfall and climate. Axial distribution of the physical and chemical parameters constrained by tidal conditions during sampling showed that river water at low tide was a mixture of freshwater from overland flow and saline ground-water in the wet season and mostly saline groundwater in the dry season. Relationships between salinity and temperature, δ¹⁸O, and DIC for both the dry and wet seasons showed that DIC was most sensitive to seawater mixing in the estuary as DIC changed in concentration between values measured in river water at the tidal front to the most seaward station. A salinity-δ¹³C_DIC model was able to describe seawater mixing in the estuary for the wet season but not for the dry season because river water salinity was higher than that of seawater and the salinity gradient between seawater and river water was small. A DIC-δ¹³C_DIC mixing model was able to describe mixing of carbon from sheet flow and river water at low tide, and river water and seawater at high tide for both wet and dry seasons. The DIC-δ¹³C_DIC model was able to predict the seawater end member DIC for the wet season. The model was not able to predict the seawater end member DIC for the dry season data due to secondary physical and biogeochemical processes that altered estuarine DIC prior to mixing with seawater. The results of this study suggest that DIC and δ¹³C_DIC can provide additional insights into mixing of river water and seawater in estuaries during periods where small salinity gradients between river water and seawater and higher river water salinities preclude the use of salinity-carbon models.     

辽东湾北部浅海区泥沙输送及其沉积特征

根据实测资料，本文定量分析了辽东湾北部泥沙输送及其分布，并对辽河三角洲沉积区划作了初步讨论。研究表明本区泥沙以纵向搬运为特征。双台子河以西来沙和辽河西水道入海泥沙是区域东部拦门沙体和浅滩发育的主导因素。汛季大潮期，泥沙自西向东运移落淤在河口及毗邻浅水域；小潮期，泥沙除向东扩散外，大部泥沙向海方搬运。调查区可划分六个现代沉积作用区，即潮坪沉积区、辽河水下三角洲细粒沉积区、河口沙洲沉积区、波浪潮流冲蚀沉积区、河口冲积沉积区以及潮汐水道沉积区。     

Wind-induced salt-wedge intrusion in the Tiber river mouth (Rome–Central Italy)

The wind effect on river water quality was illustrated by means of thermohaline measurements carried out in the Tiber River in May 2012. The survey was carried out using a boat, in stations located in the two Tiber branches: Fiumara Grande and Traiano Canal. Thermohaline variables (salinity and temperature) were used to describe the water-type patterns and to define the salt-wedge position. Although the river flow rate was rather high, saltwater intrusion happened. Wind data suggested that the more probable cause of salt-wedge intrusion was the wind action. Especially wind speeds higher than 4 m/s are able to dominate the sea current at surface layers, determining an increase in the sea level. Therefore, westerly winds determined a seawater inflow in the river mouths.     

条子泥围垦区水盐特征与植被分布的关系

为了探究江苏东台条子泥围垦区的水盐分布规律,揭示圆环状植被分布与土壤水盐条件的关系,于2019年9月对围垦区内用作湿地恢复的区域进行测量和采样。在植被环附近测量了二维、三维大地电阻率,采集降水、地表水、土壤、地下水等样品,测试样品的水盐指标和D、18O同位素组成。结果表明:植被圆环下方3 m深度内均存在对应的高电阻率/低盐度区域,且随着植被类型由中心向外环变化,对应的土壤水盐度也逐渐增大;土壤水盐度是不同植被呈现圆环状分布的重要影响因素,其变化受降水入渗和土壤蒸发引起的盐分集结共同作用;土壤盐度直接影响了不同植被种群的分布格局,而植被对入渗和蒸发过程的影响也反作用于土壤盐度分布。
