TheKyucho in Sukumo Bay induced by Kuroshio warm filament intrusion

Surface temperature data obtained in and out of the bay all year round from March 1990 through February 1991, except from July through October 1990 were analyzed to investigate seasonal variability of theKyucho in Sukumo Bay, southwest of Shikoku, Japan. TheKyucho periodically occurs in the bay during both the warming period of March through June and the cooding period of November through February. The onset period of theKyucho is 8–15 days during the warming period and 4–14 days during the cooling period, giving an average of about 10 and 8 days, respectively. The position of the Kuroshio axis offshore in the south of Cape Ashizuri-misaki is a significant factor with theKyucho in the bay. Thermal infrared images taken by the NOAA-11 in the sea off east of Kyushu were also analyzed during the two observation periods. It is clearly found that a warm filament derived from the Kuroshio (KWF) advects northeast to Cape Ashizurimisaki along the Kuroshio, then encounters the southwest coast of Shikoku, followed by inducing theKyucho in the bay by the warm water intrusion. The alongshelf dimension of the KWFs is approximately 50–100 km, and the cross-shelf distance from the western edge of the KWFs to that of the body of the east Kuroshio is about 30–50 km. The KWF sometimes closely approaches to the east coast of Kyushu. An onshore meander of the Kuroshio front around Cape Toimisaki might grow into a KWF in the sea off east of Kyushu.

Uranium in coastal sediments of Tokyo Bay and Funka Bay

The sediment cores from Tokyo Bay and Funka Bay were analyzed for U and its isotopic ratio,²³⁴U/²³⁸U, after dissolving them in 0.1 M HCl, and 30% H₂O₂ in 0.05 M HCl. A small fraction of U in the anoxic sediments was dissolved in 0.1M HCl and even the added yield tracer,²³²U, was lost. The isotopic ratio of H₂O₂ soluble U in the sediments was equal to that of seawater, suggesting that the H₂O₂ soluble U in the sediments is authigenic. The 6M HCl solution dissolved part of the lithogenic U besides the authigenic U. The depth profiles of U from the two bays resembled each other. The authigenic U comprised more than half of the total U even at the surface and increased with depth down to 70 cm, showing small maxima at about 20 cm. The concentration of refractory U was nearly constant with depth and similar to that of the pelagic sediments. The highest U concentration, 6 µg g^–1 which was about 5 times that of the pelagic sediments, was observed in the layer between 70 and 160 cm depth in Tokyo Bay. The annual sedimentation rates of U in the Tokyo Bay sediments were 2.6 tons at the surface and 7.0 tons at the 70–160 cm depth. The increase in U with depth should be due to the deposition of interstitial U either diffusing downward from the surface indicating the trapping of seawater U, or otherwise diffusing upward from the deeper layer indicating the internal cycling of U within the sediments.     

Circulation in Tasman Bay

Direct current measurements at four locations in Tasman Bay and numerical model results are used to analyse the mean flow in Tasman Bay. The mean circulation conforms to that previously found from drift card experiments: a clockwise circulation in Golden Bay, and an anti‐clockwise flow in Tasman Bay, with a return south‐westerly flow on the coast near Nelson. Typical mean speeds are 0.02–0.05 m.s^‐1. The circular flow appears asymmetrical in both bays, with a stronger outflow along Farewell Spit in Golden Bay and near D'Urville Island in Tasman Bay.

An analytical tidal solution is used to exhibit the influence of Cook Strait in producing smaller tidal amplitudes in eastern Tasman Bay. Tidal speeds of 0.15–0.30 nus^‐1 are typical, with tidal ellipses having degenerated into north‐east, south‐west lines.     

Pelagic chaetognaths in Sagami Bay and Suruga Bay,Central Japan

Pelagic chaetognaths in Sagami Bay and Suruga Bay, Central Japan, were studied. Their community structure was very similar in both of these bays. Four genera and 26 species were identified. In Sagami Bay the habitat segregation by depths was clearly obtained. The population and species number of epipelagic (0–200 m) chaetognaths were larger in summer than in winter. The populations of meso- (200–500 m) and bathypelagic (500–1,000 m) species were smaller than that of epipelagic ones and fairly stable seasonally.     

青岛市浮山湾、汇泉湾、崂山湾海滩与海底沉积环境分析

距今12000a，世界洋面已上升至今日海面以下60m处。而后海面继续回升，在距今6000a时，海面已上升到比今日海面还要高3～4m的位置，这就是汇泉广场下面存在海相地层的原因。也是唠山太清官门前存在干枯小泻湖的原因。大约在距今6000a时，青岛市的浮山湾、汇泉湾、唠山湾已经形成，并在海湾中，形成最初的海湾沉积。自那时以来，崂山湾变化不大；而浮山湾、汇泉湾则发生明显的变化。浮山湾展示为宽阔的沙滩形态，自上世纪60年代在燕儿岛建立船厂以来，大面积的沙滩已经消失。目前所见海岸完全为人造海岸，现已不存在海滩。汇泉湾与汇泉广场的填平有关，早期的海岸线，有可能到达中山公园的院墙一带。现在所见的第一海滨浴场也是人为建设所致。     

基于指标体系法的海湾生态系统健康评价方法——以莱州湾为例

海湾生态系统在维持能量流动、物质循环、生物群落稳定和生态系统平衡等方面发挥重要作用。文章基于2011-2020年夏季监测数据,选取水环境、沉积环境、生物群落、初级生产力和生态灾害5类指标,通过层次分析法与专家咨询法相结合的方式确定指标权重,基于指标体系法构建莱州湾生态系统健康评价指标体系。评价结果表明：莱州湾近岸海域生态系统长期处于亚健康状态,主要影响指标为水环境和生物群落;生态系统健康评价结果与现行《近岸海洋生态健康评价指南》基本一致,但本方法能够识别溢油和台风等极端事件对生态系统造成的不利影响,较传统方法更为灵敏;区间型指标和环境容许值的引入可避免监测数据“劣势掩盖”“信息漏缺”以及极限监测值对评价结果的放大问题。     

Internal tides in Uchiura Bay

Long-term temperature measurements of the subsurface layer near Uchiura-Bay head were made in summer 1978 and 1979 to further investigate the characteristics of the internal tides in more detail. The temperature measurements indicate that the internal tides were present at all times during the observational period. The semidiurnal internal tides are usually dominant over the diurnal, but at times the diurnal internal tides have comparable amplitudes with the semidiurnal. When the semidiurnal internal tides are predominant, the fundamental period of the longitudinal internal seiche in Uchiura Bay estimated from the observed density structure is close to the semidiurnal period. However, the reason for the occasional amplification of the diurnal internal tides is not clear.

桑沟湾和胶州湾沉积物耗氧率研究

为评价浅海海域底层在碳元素生物地化循环中的作用,采用现场取样培养法测定了黄海桑沟湾和胶州湾的沉积物耗氧率。桑沟湾5月和8月的沉积物耗氧率分别为15和24 mmol.m-2.d-1;胶州湾8月的沉积物耗氧率为18 mmol.m-2.d-1。回归分析表明,2个湾的沉积物耗氧率分别与沉积物表层的有机碳和总氮含量正相关。取呼吸商为0.8,得到桑沟湾底层对有机碳的矿化率占水层初级生产力的102%(5月)和67%(8月),胶州湾底层对有机碳的矿化率占水层初级生产力的28%(8月)。取桑沟湾颗粒有机碳的生物沉积速率为236 mg.m-2.d-1,得到底层对有机碳的埋置效率为40%(5月)和3%(8月),埋置的有机碳占水层初级生产力的69%(5月)和2%(8月);胶州湾颗粒有机碳的自然沉积速率为251 mg.m-2.d-1,底层对有机碳的埋置效率为32%(8月),埋置的有机碳占水层初级生产力的13%(8月)。     

A Comprehensive Lagrangian Transport Study in A Long-Narrow Bay,Xiangshan Bay,China

Study on the transport and mixing in coastal waters is of great concern to the ocean resources exploitation and ecological system protection. Lagrangian methods are direct and effective of researching mass transport. Two Lagrangian tools were adopted and combined to describe water transport in a long-narrow bay, Xiangshan Bay,China. Based on the fields of tidal velocity simulated from the 3-D hydrodynamic model, Lagrangian Coherent Structures(LCSs) and synoptic Lagrangian maps(SLMs) were calculated in the study area. Through comparison of the results, the features and relation of the two tools were discussed. The results show that the LCSs act as the separatrix of the water regions with different transport characteristics and can identify the water areas with different transport time scales. The comprehensive application of the Lagrangian tools is helpful to obtain more insight into the water transport process.     

Wind Fields over Funka Bay and Their Effect on Water Circulation in the Bay

Horizontal wind fields over Funka Bay during cold air outbreaks were simulated using a 3-D meso-scale atmospheric model. The simulated wind fields over the bay have a positive curl in the north and a negative curl in the south. These wind fields were used to simulate the current in Funka Bay using a barotropic ocean model. The simulated current pattern was composed of two vortices—one with anti-clockwise vorticity in the north and the other with clockwise vorticity in the south—and was in the opposite direction to that simulated by the uniform wind fields. This is because the wind stress curl effect on the vorticity production in Funka Bay opposes and overwhelms the bathymetry torque effect during cold air outbreaks. These results show that the non-uniformity of the wind fields caused by the land topography around a shallow lake or bay cannot be neglected in simulating its currents.     

渤海湾和胶州湾表层沉积物中甾醇的分布和来源

测定了渤海湾和胶州湾22个表层沉积物样品中甾醇类化合物的含量,分析了其分布特征和来源.研究表明,所测定的8种甾醇类化合物在两海区表层沉积物中的含量和分布具有很大的区域差异,其含量为0～4.303 μg/g,渤海湾甾醇总含量为0.287～18.579μg/g,高于胶州湾0.084～10.584 μg/g.8种化合物中只有谷甾醇在全部样品中检出,而粪便甾醇仅存在于受人类活动影响较大和有生活污水输入的近岸区域.而代表陆源高等植物来源的特征甾醇化合物豆甾醇和谷甾醇则在河口区表层沉积物分布较高.另外,根据表层沉积物中不同甾醇化合物的组成、含量和分布特征,可以很好地指示河流输入以及大量生活废水的排放对近岸海区的污染状况,从而可以作为近岸环境污染监测和评价的重要指标.

Tidal residual flow in Kasado Bay

A current measurement was carried out in Kasado Bay to understand the vertical structure of tidal residual flow and its dependence upon the tidal range. The tidal residual flows have almost the same flow direction in the upper and the lower layer and its magnitude in the upper layer is larger than that in the lower layer. The tidal residual flow at spring tides is stronger than that at neap tides.
