南黄海春季海水化学要素的分布特征及其受控因素

基于2007年4月对南黄海调查所得资料,对海水化学要素的分布特征及影响因素进行了探讨。结果表明,受浮游植物光合作用的影响,南黄海中北部上层海域出现了DO、pH的高值区以及营养盐的低值区,而底层则因有机物的分解,DO和pH较低而营养盐含量较高;受苏北沿岸水、长江冲淡水和/或台湾暖流前缘混合水的影响,南黄海西南部海域表、底层DO含量均较低,但却为营养盐的最高值区,且表层水中无机氮盈余状况的分布与该海域环流状况、尤其是苏北沿岸水的扩展途径密切相关,表现为无机氮相对过剩,而无机磷相对缺乏;南黄海西部沿岸流对营养盐往东南方向的输运态势较为明显,同时,首次从营养盐分布的角度揭示了这一水动力过程;受苏北沿岸水、黄海暖流以及两者之间的南黄海西部沿岸流主体的影响,南黄海斜断面上海水化学要素的分布具有明显的区域化特征和空间结构。     

夏季南黄海海水化学要素的分布特征及影响因素

基于2006年7月对南黄海调查所得资料,对南黄海海水化学要素的分布特征及影响因素进行了探讨.结果表明:(1) 调查海域底层122°E～123°E,33°N以南范围内存在明显的DO亏损现象,证实了长江口外低氧区向南黄海的扩展态势.(2) 南黄海西南部上层水体中的营养盐主要来源于长江冲淡水及苏北沿岸流的输运,且营养盐与盐度之间呈较好的负相关,具有一定的保守性,同时发现表层无机氮盈余状况的分布与该海域环流的扩展途径密切相关;南黄海西南部底层东北向的高营养盐水舌是长江冲淡水、台湾暖流前缘水以及底层有机物分解释放营养盐综合作用的结果;南黄海冷水域因有机物分解而积聚了大量营养盐.(3) 根据南黄海冷水域海水化学要素的断面分布,指出自DO最大值层开始产生至观测之时该层之下、真光层以内光合作用产氧在温跃层下界的积累和保存在氧最大值形成过程中具有极其重要的作用.     

冬季南黄海海水化学要素的分布特征及变化趋势

通过分析2007年1月12日—2月4日南黄海调查所得资料,对海水化学要素的分布特征及变化趋势进行了研究。结果表明:1)在大部分海域,表、底层海水化学要素分布基本呈现上下均匀状态,这是冬季强烈的垂直混合作用的结果,同时黄海西部沿岸流、台湾暖流前缘水、东海北部的气旋式涡旋和黄海暖流也对各要素的分布发挥着重要的影响。2)调查海域中北部122°30′～124°00′E,34°42′～36°42′N范围内,底层黄海暖流的增温增盐效应较强,且水体垂直混合作用并未到达海底,近底层有跃层存在,使底层水既保留了夏季黄海冷水团水的特性,同时又由于黄海暖流的入侵而具有暖水的性质,跃层和夏季冷水团残留水为溶解氧(DO)和pH低值区的产生以及营养盐高值区的出现提供了良好的水文条件或动力因素。生物化学作用则是形成上述现象的内在原因,而且该跃层也阻碍了各生源要素的垂向输运,使底层水与底层以上水体具有明显不同的生化性质。3)冬季南黄海各化学要素除具有垂直均匀分布的特点外,在中北部各断面东侧还存在层化现象或锋面结构,表现为上层的垂直均匀分布和下层的梯度分布,这也是该海域近底层水体层化以及黄海暖流较强的增温增盐效应所致。     

2013年夏季黄、渤海颗粒有机碳分布及来源分析

本文根据2013年夏季黄、渤海海域航次获得的颗粒有机碳(particulate organic carbon, POC)、叶绿素a(chlorophyll a, Chl a)和总悬浮颗粒物(total suspended particles, TSP)数据,结合同步获得的水文环境参数,综合探讨该区夏季POC时空分布特征,以及在不同温盐深水团中POC的主要影响因素。结果表明:在整个研究区POC的浓度范围为102.3～1850.0 μg/L,平均值为(383.7±269.6) μg/L,分布呈现出近岸高、远海低、表层低、底层高的特征。苏北外浅滩海域和北黄海东北区域的10 m层和底层为POC高值区,苏北外海域受到陆源输入、沿岸流混合作用和浮游植物光合作用的影响,POC上下混合均匀且浓度高;南黄海中部因受黄海环流的影响,水体中浮游植物生产力水平低,POC浓度较低。在垂直分布上,近岸海域受陆源输入和再悬浮影响POC浓度高,上下混合均匀;在南黄海和北黄海中部受到黄海环流和黄海冷水团的控制,浮游植物生产力水平低,POC浓度低。对不同温盐水团中POC的影响因素分析发现,在高温低盐水团中,POC受浮游植物初级生产和陆源输入的共同影响;在温盐适中区真光层海水中,浮游植物的初级生产是POC的主要来源;底层的冷水团区,POC主要来源为上层海水中颗粒物的沉降和底层再悬浮作用。     

长江口邻近海域溶解氧的时空分布及影响因素研究

基于2018年早春和夏季长江口邻近海域的调查数据,分析溶解氧(DO)的时空分布,并讨论其影响因素.结果表明,夏季DO浓度变化范围为1.58～9.37 mg/L,浮游生物光合作用产生的DO是夏季表层水体过饱和的主要因素;夏季调查海域受台湾暖流北上引起海水层化加强,同时水体富营养化导致表层生物大量繁殖所引起有机碎屑的沉降和耗氧分解作用是底层低氧区存在的主要因素.夏季在台湾暖流影响下底层水体表观耗氧量(AOU)与营养盐成正相关关系,底层有机物耗氧降解过程与营养盐的再生密切相关.早春DO浓度变化范围为7.90～10.1 mg/L,长江口外北部海域和浙江近岸海域海水混合均匀,DO浓度主要受温度控制,而台湾暖流影响区海水出现层化现象,其低DO含量也为低氧区的形成奠定了基础.     

春季黄海海域颗粒有机碳的分布特征及影响因素

依据2010年4～5月黄海的现场调查资料,分析了黄海颗粒有机碳(Particulate organic carbon,POC)的分布特征及影响因素。结果表明,2010年春季黄海POC浓度范围为78.11～9 189.00μg/L,平均浓度为(413.59±794.23)μg/L;北黄海和南黄海POC分布都呈现表层低、底层高的垂直分布特征和近岸高、远岸低的平面分布特征。其中,北黄海POC的高值区南部近岸水体,主要受陆源输入的影响,北黄海POC的低值区主要位于其中部表层水体,主要由于浮游植物现场生产受限所致;南黄海POC高值区主要位于受沿岸流和陆源输入影响显著的苏北沿岸,底层高值主要与浮游植物碎屑沉降和沉积物再悬浮有关,低值区主要集中在南黄海中部海域,亦由于浮游植物现场生产受限所致。PN的分布趋势和影响因素与POC相一致。     

夏季长江口东北部海域DO的分布及低氧特征

基于2006年7月18—23日对长江口东北部海域的大面调查资料,重点分析了该海域DO的分布特征,初步探讨了DO与温度、盐度、叶绿素和营养盐等各要素分布之间的关系。研究显示,2006年7月长江口东北部海域DO的质量浓度范围为1.36~8.81 mg/L,平均值为6.25 mg/L;调查海域(122°~123°E,32°~33°N)底层存在较为严重的DO亏损现象,表明长江口外DO低值区7月份在长江口东北部海域也存在一定程度的扩展;夏季台湾暖流北上引起的海水层化作用、表层生物繁殖引起的大量有机碎屑的沉降和氧化分解,可能是致使调查海域底层出现一定面积的DO低值区和DO亏损现象的2个主要原因。     

南黄海中部悬浮体垂直分布及其季节变化

南黄海中部悬浮体浓度垂直分布及其季节变化对该海域泥质区的生成有重要意义,为研究黄东海物质交换、南黄海中部泥质区生成机制,利用2006年至2009年四季节的温度、盐度数据,结合水样抽滤获得的悬浮体质量浓度数据和LISST观测到的悬浮体体积浓度数据分析南黄海中部断面悬浮体浓度垂直分布及其季节变化。结果表明,悬浮体LISST体积浓度和抽滤质量浓度具有较好的相关性,并将夏冬两季悬浮体体积浓度转换为质量浓度。四季节悬浮体浓度整体上表层低于底层,潮流是控制南黄海悬浮体分布的重要动力因素,秋季大潮期悬浮体浓度高于冬季小潮期,冬春两季悬浮体浓度分布相类似;受到强台风影响,夏季悬浮体浓度高于秋冬季,以温跃层为界,底层悬浮体浓度较高,最高达26.9mg/L,以细粉砂粒级为主,上层悬浮体浓度低于2mg/L,悬浮颗粒粒径大于31.6μm。夏季,黄海冷水团西边界锋面处为粉砂为主的高悬浮体浓度区,与南黄海中部泥质区西侧厚沉积带位置对应。冬季,黄海西部沿岸流流经区域悬浮体以极细砂粒级为主,黄海暖流海域各个粒级悬浮体浓度都比较高,以粉砂粒级以上为主,整个断面中较粗颗粒的悬浮体含量较多。     

南黄海秋季叶绿素a的分布特征与浮游植物的固碳强度

依据2005年10月中下旬对南黄海的调查结果,系统阐述了2005年秋季南黄海叶绿素a的分布特征,并估算了南黄海和东中国近海初级生产力水平及浮游植物固碳强度,分析了控制其变化的生物地球化学机制.结果表明,南黄海表层叶绿素a含量的变化范围为0.11~2.38 mg/m3,平均浓度为0.66 mg/m3,明显高于50 m层的含量.南黄海表层和次表层叶绿素a分布趋势基本一致,均显现出西北高、东南低的趋势,在近岸海域出现显著的高值带,这主要是由于受到陆源输入和沿岸流带来的高营养盐的影响;中部海域的低值区则主要受控于来自东海低营养盐海流的“冲淡”作用.在垂直分布上,叶绿素a最高值基本出现在次表层,与以往发现的该海域次表层溶解氧最大值一致,这显然与南黄海浮游植物及区域水团特性有关.2005年秋季南黄海初级生产力(C)变化在95~1 634 mg/(m2·d),平均为586 mg/(m2·d),其分布趋势显示了海洋初级生产力与海水磷浓度以及水团、海流的关系.应用初级生产力估算的浮游植物固碳强度的结果表明,我国东部近海浮游植物年总固碳量约为222Mt,约占全球近海浮游植物的年固碳量的2.0%,为我国东部近海通过海-气界面总表观碳汇强度每年1 369万t的16.2倍,在不同的海域,浮游植物固碳量是其通过海-气界面总表观碳汇强度的倍数不同(渤海为3.0倍,黄海为6.7倍,东海为81.6倍).     

夏、冬季黄东海溶解氧的分布特征研究

本文基于2015年8月和12月的现场调查资料,分析了我国黄东海溶解氧(DO)分布特征与季节变化,并对其影响因素进行了探讨。结果表明:黄东海DO的分布存在明显的时空差异。夏季,DO质量浓度的变化范围为1.92—11.35mg/L,南黄海冷水团海域存在中层水体DO最大值现象;长江口附近(30.73°—32.30°N,122.96°—124.60°E)与浙江近海(28.43°—29.40°N,121.97°—122.63°E)底层存在低氧区(DO3mg/L),面积可达14800km2;且东海外侧底层(28.88°—29.70°N,124.08°—124.90°E)存在DO4mg/L的DO低值区。冬季,DO质量浓度变化范围为4.81—10.29mg/L,总体上呈现近岸高、外海低的分布特征;南黄海中部(33.80°—34.66°N,123.52°—124.23°E)与北部(35.50°—36.36°N,122.96°—123.82°E)底层水体DO质量浓度低于6mg/L,DO最低值为4.81mg/L。黄东海DO分布特征及其变化受物理过程与生物化学过程等多种因素的综合影响,且表现出明显的时空分布差异。     

Size-fractionated uranium isotopes in surface waters in the Jiulong Estuary in China

Surface water was collected from the Jiulong Estuary for determination of activity concentrations of uranium isotopes in different size fractions, namely, greater than 53, 10 -53, 2 - 10, 0.4 -2 μm, 10 000 u -0.4 μm and less than 10 000 u fractions by microfihration and cross-flow uhrafiltration technologies. Results indicated that most of the dissolved uranium （ 〈 0.4 μm） exis- ted in the low molecular mass fraction （ 〈 10 000 u）, and the colloidal uranium-238 （10 000 u -0.4 μm） only contributed less than 1% of the dissolved uranium-238. The fractions of colloidal uranium in the dissolved phases decreased with the increasing sa- linity. A positive linear relationship between uranium-238 activities and salinities was observed for the dissolved, colloidal and low molecular mass fractions, indicating a conservative behavior of uranium in the Jiulong Estuary. In the particulate phases （ 〉 0.4 μm）, the partitioning of uranium isotopes among different size fractions was controlled by the partitioning of particle concentrations. In the regions with salinities below 20, the partitioning of uranium-238 among different size fractions was as follows： 10 - 53 μm 〉 2 - 10 μm 〉 0.4 - 2 μm greater than above 53 μm. However, the order at the offshore station with salinities above 30 changed as follows ： 0.4 - 2 μm 〉 10 - 53 μm 〉 2 - 10 μm greater than above 53 μm. The fraction of the 0.4 - 2 μm particles increased at the offshore station, suggesting the increased contribution of the authigenic uranium. The activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in the dissolved phases, including the low molecular mass fraction and the colloidal fraction, was larger than unity, showing the occurrence of excess uranium-234. In contrast, the activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in all size fractions of the particulate phase was close to the equilibrium value （1.0）. The observed different values of the activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in the dissolved phase and the partic

Challenges in cross-sectoral marine protection in Europe

Marine environment protection in Europe faces a number of challenges. One is the coordination of relevant sectoral policies — such as agricultural and fisheries policies — with regard to marine protection objectives. The question in the following is on how marine protection issues can be more closely integrated in sectoral policies under the conditions prevailing at present. In particular the strength and weaknesses of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) as the key instrument for marine environment protection in Europe are analyzed in this context. In particular, the MSFD does not adequately address all sectors and policies which are relevant to marine environment protection. One possible means of giving the MSFD greater influences on other policies of relevance to marine waters is to integrate the objectives established under the MSFD in the European maritime policy. The aim should be to require the further development of sectoral policies to take unrestricted account of the objectives of the MSFD implementation process. But also other instruments of marine policy such as maritime spatial planning and marine protected areas are crucial to advance the protection of European seas.

Seasonality in nutrient concentrations in Galveston Bay

In order to investigate factors controlling nutrient cycling in the shallow and turbid coastal ecosystem of Galveston Bay, data from: (1) the Texas Water Commission (TWC) database 1980–1989, and (2) salinity transects in 1989 and 1993 are presented and analyzed. Statistical regression and time-series analysis were carried out on data acquired by TWC between 1980 and 1989, in an attempt to establish seasonally of nutrient and chlorophyll-a (chl.-a.) concentrations in the bay and to determine factors which regulate these concentrations.A strong seasonality was found for phosphorus and chl.-a. in the upper and mid-bay stations. A recurring maximum for phosphate occurred in September and a chl.-a. maximum occurred regularly in March–April. It is hypothesized that benthic regeneration of phosphorus at the end of summer is responsible for the phosphate maximum. The inverse correlation of the partition coefficient (K_d) for phosphate with the concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM), coupled to a strong enrichment of phosphate in suspended particles at low SPM concentrations, indicates additional control by geochemical and physical processes such as particle sorting and/or particle-colloid interactions. Nitrate is inversely correlated with salinity at the upper and mid-bay stations, indicating the Trinity River is a major source.Nutrient concentrations in the lower bay (East and West Bay stations) are considerably lower and less predictable, as they are not correlated with salinity or temperature. Data from the 1989 and 1993 transects confirm the yearly maximum in phosphate concentration in late summer months, with peak concentrations in the upper Trinity Bay. It is concluded that despite possible phosphate buffering by physical and geochemical mechanisms, relatively large concentration maxima recur regularly every year during the summer, possibly caused by a benthic source of phosphate.     

Mesozooplankton in the Arctic Ocean in summer

The biomass, species and chemical composition of the mesozooplankton and their impact on lower food levels were estimated along a transect across the Arctic Ocean. Mesozooplankton biomass in the upper 200 m of the water column was significantly higher (19–42 mg DW m^-3) than has previously been reported for the Arctic Ocean, and it reached a maximum at ca. 87°N in the Amundsen Basin. The lowest values were recorded in the Chukchi Sea and Nansen Basin, where ice cover was lower (50–80%) than in the central Arctic Ocean. In the deeper strata (200–500 m) of the Canadian and Eurasian Basins, the biomass was always much lower (4.35–16.44 mg DW m^-3). The C/N (g/g) ratio for the mesozooplankton population was high (6.5–8.5) but within the documented range. These high values (when compared to 4.5 at lower latitudes) may be explained by the high lipid content. Mesozooplankton accounted for approximately 40% of the total particulate organic carbon in the upper 100 m of the water column. Mesozooplankton species composition was homogeneous along the transect, consisting mainly of copepods (70–90% of the total number). It was dominated by four large copepod species (Calanus hyperboreus, C. glacialis, C. finmarchicus and Metridia longa), which together accounted for more than 80% of the total biomass. According to measurements of gut pigment and gut turnover rates, the mesozooplankton on average ingested between 6 and 30% of their body carbon per day as phytoplankton. Microzooplankton may have provided an additional source of energy for the mesozooplankton community. These data emphasize the importance of mesozooplankton in the arctic food web and reinforce the idea that the Arctic Ocean should no longer be considered to be a “biological desert”.
