珠江口伶仃洋咸淡水混合特征

珠江口伶仃洋是一个宽而浅的喇叭状海湾.珠江的八个口门,有四个口门(虎门、蕉门、洪奇沥和横门)的径流汇入伶仃洋(见图1).径流量约1,517.9亿方/年,占珠江总径流量的51.6%,但洪、枯季节流量变化较大.洪水季节的径流量约占年径流量的80%以上.     

珠江口伶仃洋泥沙运动的沉积动力作用

珠江口伶仃洋是个多口门汇入的河口湾,其泥沙来源复杂多样,既有陆域来沙,又有海域来沙,这些泥沙进入伶仃洋以后,在径流作用、潮流作用、盐淡水混合作用及风浪等的影响下,不断地运移,形成“三滩两槽”的分布格局,７－年代中期以后,由于东部潮流作用及盐淡水混合作用的加强,受其压迫,西部泥沙物质不断向南、东南方向输运与沉积。     

伶仃洋泥沙及其运动特征

珠江口伶仃洋是个多口门的河口湾,其泥沙来源复杂多样,既有陆域来沙,又有海域来沙。依据珠江分水分沙特点,以三水、马口、博罗１９６５到１９９７年实测流量与含沙量资料为基础,推算进入伶仃洋的泥沙总量,并对共泥沙主要沉积动力特征进行了分析,结果表明,伶仃洋的泥沙来源比较稳定,由于径流作用、潮流作用、盐淡水混合作用及风浪的影响,泥沙不断向南、东南方向输运与沉积。     

珠江口及邻近海域潮汐环流数值模拟Ⅱ——河口水交换和物质输运分析

采用无结构网格三维有限体积海洋模式FVCOM所建立的珠江口及邻近海域的三维正压高分辨率数值模型,对珠江口水域的水交换和物质输运过程进行了研究。研究发现,只考虑潮汐作用时,珠江口内湾水交换能力很弱,海水滞留时间在90d以上;加入径流、风应力作用后内湾水交换能力变强,示踪物的滞留时间分布大体上在珠江口航道区以及河口西侧(靠近珠江口门处)较短,在河口东侧(远离珠江口门处)和西侧浅滩较长。在丰水期,西南风驱动下河口示踪物平均浓度最低,为0.34,滞留时间最短,自西向东由10d逐渐过渡为90d以上。对不同海域之间的水交换分析表明,珠江河口内4大口门以及伶仃洋海区、磨刀门海区水交换能力最强;深圳湾、大鹏湾、大亚湾与口门外陆架海域的水交换能力较弱。粒子追踪试验表明,珠江口内粒子在枯水期会进入黄茅海,在丰水期则可抵达大亚湾和大鹏湾。径流和风应力作用会不同程度加大珠江口海域不同口门处粒子位移,在枯水期粒子向西运动,洪奇门、磨刀门与鸡啼门处粒子位移最大,90d内可达285km;在丰水期粒子向东运动,横门处粒子位移最大,90d内可达190km,部分可至大亚湾和大鹏湾,且粒子运动呈螺旋状推进。     

珠江口浮游植物叶绿素a和初级生产力的季节变化及其影响因素

基于2014—2015年4个季节的现场调查数据,系统阐述了珠江口水域浮游植物叶绿素a和初级生产力的空间分布和季节特征,并结合环境因子进行了分析。结果表明:研究水域表层年平均叶绿素a浓度和初级生产力分别为3.77mg·m~(–3)和27.86mg C·m~(–3)·h~(–1),季节变化均为春季夏季秋季冬季。径流量是珠江口浮游植物空间分布的主要驱动因素,并且浮游植物的旺发与河口盐度锋面的位置密切相关。径流较小的季节,由于珠江口外营养盐浓度较低,叶绿素a浓度高值区出现在内伶仃洋水域;随着径流量的增加,叶绿素a浓度高值区随盐度锋面向珠江口外移动,而口门附近浮游植物生长受光限制和径流稀释影响并未出现高值。初级生产力的空间分布趋势与浮游植物叶绿素a相似,二者之间存在显著的正相关关系。研究还表明:夏季,珠江口外由于浮游植物旺发消耗了大量营养盐,磷酸盐浓度被耗尽使其成为浮游植物生长的限制因子;冬季,光限制和低温可能是造成浮游植物初级生产力较低的原因。与以往研究结果对比,珠江口初级生产力处于中间水平,浮游植物碳同化系数年平均值为7.51mg C·(mg Chl a)~(–1)·h~(–1),河口固碳水平为261.52g C·m~(–2)·y~(–1)。     

基于波-流耦合模型的珠江口悬浮泥沙数值模拟

为研究珠江口悬浮泥沙输运动力机制,本文发展了一套三维波、流、泥沙耦合数值模型。模型结果与观测数据吻合较好,统计显示模型获得良好的评分分值。利用数值模拟研究了不同强迫（径流,波浪和风）对珠江口中悬浮泥沙的影响。模型结果表明,河口重力环流对珠江口最大浑浊带的发展起着重要作用,特别是在小潮期间。另外,径流的增加可导致泥沙向海输运。底部的悬浮泥沙浓度随着波浪底部轨迹速度和波高的增大而增加。由于西滩水深较浅,波浪对西滩悬浮泥沙的影响大于东槽。西南风引起的波浪对悬沙的影响大于东北风引起的波浪的影响,而东北风致流对悬沙的影响略大于对西南风致流的影响。在其他条件相同情况下,稳定的西南风比稳定的东北风更有利于伶仃洋悬浮泥沙浓度的增加;在稳定的西南风下,伶仃洋平均悬浮泥沙浓度约为稳定东北风下的1.1倍。     

夏季珠江口溶解氧垂向输运数值模拟研究

通过建立一个珠江口三维水质模型,对夏季珠江口溶解氧垂向输运进行研究。结果表明:潮汐、风及上升流间歇性破坏层化,令溶解氧垂向对流及扩散通量的方向和大小随潮汐发生周期性变化。在西四口门海域,由于水体层化稳定,垂向上对流及扩散作用产生的溶解氧输运通量都较小,且相互平衡;在伶仃洋内的深槽,径流与潮汐的相互作用强烈,层化被间歇性地打破,溶解氧的垂向对流通量大于扩散通量,导致底层溶解氧浓度产生波动;在伶仃洋内的西部浅滩上,层化相对稳定,溶解氧的垂向扩散通量大于对流通量。这表明在珠江口不同区域,垂向的对流扩散作用对溶解氧垂向输运起不同作用,从而影响表底层溶解氧的浓度。     

伶仃洋沉积动力特点的研究

位于珠江三角洲东侧的伶仃洋，因径流下泄与潮流进退的流向不一，使它各分流口门的出口水道都有主槽和支槽之分，即都有主干水道和分汊水道。陆架高盐海水入侵又使伶仃洋内沉积动力过程在空间分布上发生差异，如沉积物分布有粗－细－稍粗之分；而水体中的密度、速度差异，常常产生锋带，对水下地形的发展有不可忽视的影响。因而全面认识发生在伶仃洋内的沉积动力作用，对深水航道的选线极为重要。     

珠江口伶仃洋海域营养盐的历史变化及影响因素研究

根据2006年丰水期和枯水期对珠江口伶仃洋海域的调查资料,分析了该海域营养盐的现状,发现丰水期NO₃-N和SiO₃-Si含量呈自口门向外逐渐降低的变化,NO₂-N和PO₄-P高值区则集中在深圳附近海域,枯水期各项营养盐均呈自口门向外逐渐降低的变化。结合1990年、1998年、2001年3个年份的资料,分析了珠江口邻近海域5项营养盐(SiO₃-Si,NO₃-N,NO₂-N,NH₄-N和PO₄-P)近20 a来的变化规律,并对其影响因素进行了探讨和分析。结果发现,NO₃-N,NO₂-N,NH₄-N和PO₄-P含量呈现显著上升趋势,DIN/DIP呈下降趋势。NO₃-N和SiO₃-Si含量丰水期显著高于枯水期,NO₂-N和PO₄-P则相反,径流携带作用是NO₃-N和SiO₃-Si的主要来源,而径流对NO₂-N和PO₄-P则起稀释作用。另外农业施肥的影响、围填海造成的海域面积缩小以及网箱养殖业饵料的不合理投放亦是造成珠江口伶仃洋海域DIN,DIP含量上升的因素。     

基于改进的RCA水质模型对珠江口夏季缺氧及初级生产力的数值模拟研究

针对珠江口藻类生长受泥沙遮光限制明显的问题, 对RCA(row and column of Aesop)三维水质模型进行改进, 加入泥沙模块及悬沙遮光对藻类生长的限制作用。应用改进的RCA水质模型, 对珠江口的营养盐、浮游植物及溶解氧进行模拟研究, 结果显示, 改进的RCA水质模型较好地再现了洪季珠江口营养盐、浮游植物和溶解氧在水平及垂向上的空间分布, 这表明该水质模型能较好地反映珠江河口中生态因子的关键过程。珠江口的缺氧现象在物理和生化过程的共同作用下, 被限制在伶仃洋的西滩和中滩及磨刀门海域。在洪季, 大量冲淡水进入珠江口形成锋面, 颗粒态有机物(particulate organic matter, POM)在锋面的影响下, 大量集中沉降在伶仃洋的西滩及中滩特定区域及磨刀门外, 产生较高的底泥耗氧率(sediment oxygen demand, SOD)。而在高SOD的区域, 水体分层通常也较明显, 因而产生缺氧现象。另一方面, 伶仃洋水体中磷的限制作用明显, 加上悬浮泥沙的遮光作用, 不利于浮游植物生长, 使得初级生产力低; 而在陆架上, 悬沙浓度减少使初级生产力增加, 但由于海源颗粒有机碳(particulate organic carbon, POC)的沉积分散于整个陆架上, 无法产生伶仃洋内的高SOD区域, 加上水体分层不明显, 并没有产生缺氧现象。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.

Evaluation of the Risk of Marine Slope Instability: A Pseudo-3D Approach for Application to Large Areas

This article presents a methodology developed to evaluate the instability of submarine slopes that extend over a large area. Special attention was paid to (1) the complex geometry (bathymetry) and the expanse of the slope, (2) the heterogeneity of the sediment, and (3) the distribution of the pore pressure. The safety factor was considered as a spatially varying quantity. The General Formulation (GLE, Fredlund and Krahn 1977), which fully satisfies equilibrium conditions, was used for evaluating the stability of the marine slope. The submarine slope failure, which occurred on 16 October 1979 during the construction of the new Nice airport, was studied in order to test the developed model. Geotechnical parameters were taken from experimental tests carried out by IFREMER on 19 cores extracted at different depths (from 27 m to 1300 m) (Cochonat, Bourillet, and Savoye, 1993; Mulder et al., 1994). Many scenarios were proposed in order to explain the cause of the Nice slope failure (Habib, 1994). In this article, two of those scenarios were tested. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
