Studies on the role of marine bacteria in the upwelling ecosystem——Ⅰ.Bacterial biomass in the upwelling regions

-Six cruises were carried out off the south bank of Fujian - Taiwan during the period of December 21, 1987 to November 15, 1988 to estimate the contribution of bacterial biomass carbon (BBC) to the totai particulate organic pools using epifluorescent microscopic technique. The results show that the standing crop of bacteria fluctuated from 0. 95 to 66. 60 mg /m3 (dry weight). Upwelling phenomena appeared in the region around Nanpeng Island in summer while in the region of Waixie in all seasons. The average value of BBC was 27. 60(±6. 08)mg/m3and 21. 32 (±2. 34) mg/m3 respectively. The seasonal and spatial distribution is discussed in relation to environmental factors as well as upwelling phenomena. The role of bacteria in the flow of material and energy in the upwelling ecosystem is emphasized.

Underway Measurement of Sea Surface Temperature and Salinity in the Taiwan Straits in August,1999

The distributional features of sea surface temperature and salinity(SST and SSS) in the Taiwan Straits have been analyzed using the SST and SSS underway measurements in August,1999.The characteristics of SST and SSS are summarized as foloows:There are several upwellings and diluted water in the Taiwan Straits.The upwellings are divided into two kinds:those along the western coast of the Taiwan Straits and those around the Taiwan Shoal.There are three sources of diluted water:diluted water of the Jiulongjiang River,diluted water of the Zhujiang River and diluted water of the Minjiang River.     

流场散度的误差估计

按照误差传递原理,推导出流场散度的误差估计式,并将其应用于赤道中东太平洋上升流区域水平散度误差的估计。应用结果表明:赤道中东太平洋上升流区多年平均流场的散度稳定,平均散度约为3.0×10-7s-1;和通常采用的误差估计公式相比,该估计公式降低了散度误差,从而提高了散度的可信度。     

以各形态磷存量研究上升流水体老化变性指标

闽南-台湾浅滩渔场上升流区研究(1987年12月至1988年11月)及台湾海峡上升流区研究(1987年7月至1988年7月)结果表明,各种形态磷含量变化对上升流生态系具有重要作用.因此,提出以涌升水体中有机、颗粒形态磷和溶解无机态磷的相对比率来表示上升流水体的老化程度,即上升流水体老化指标(AIU)为(DOP+PP)与(DIP＋DOP＋PP)之比值.研究资料表明AIU这一表达式对于上述两上升流区是合适的,海域AIU的季节性变化与其近岸上升流的消长变化规律相一致.AIU较小的区域,其水体为新涌升水,与上升流中心位置相吻合.     

Factors responsible for the differences in satellite-based chlorophyll a concentration between the major global upwelling areas

The aim of this study was to identify the factors responsible for the differences in chlorophyll a concentration (Chl-a) observed between the California, Canary, Humboldt and Benguela upwelling areas. Monthly climatologic values of Chl-a obtained from satellite images, covering the years 1998–2004, revealed that this pigment was higher in the Benguela system than in the other areas. Upwelling intensity, as derived from offshore Ekman transport computations, was higher in the Benguela and Humboldt regions and, for the same upwelling intensity, Chl-a was higher in Benguela than in the other regions. Upwelling intensity appears to be able to drive Chl-a densities through nutrient supply, as nutrients are correlated to offshore Ekman transport. A linear regression model including the fraction of sea surface over the shelf in each 1° × 1° box, nitrate, silicate, turbulence and variability of offshore Ekman transport explained the 84.8% of the variance in Chl-a among the areas. Differences in offshore Ekman transport explained the lower Chl-a observed in Canary and California and the higher Chl-a observed in Benguela and Peru-Humboldt. A narrow continental shelf and low water column stability also contribute to reducing phytoplankton pigment biomass in the Canary and California areas. The higher Chl-a values observed in Benguela compared to Humboldt-Peru are due to a wider extension of the continental shelf in the Benguela region.     

台湾东北海域夏季冷穹及上升流的数值模拟

夏季,黑潮在台湾东北向东海陆架的入侵表现为黑潮次表层水的强烈涌升,并在陆架上形成明显的冷穹。本研究利用ROMS(Regional Ocean Modeling System)模式,模拟了夏季黑潮入侵所形成的冷穹及上升流的三维结构,并讨论了上升流形成的动力机制。结果表明,冷穹中心在50 m以上的深度位于25.5°N,122.5°E附近,最大降温5 ℃以上;在50 m以下的深度,冷穹的中心位于台湾岛北缘。表层黑潮在台湾北缘不存在明显入侵,在陆坡东向转向附近则以气旋式环流入侵至陆架以上。此外,上升流主要位于陆坡坡度最大的区域,且黑潮次表层水的涌升存在两个较为明显的路径,分别位于台湾岛以北的100 m与200 m等深线之间以及东向转向的陆坡区域。在上层,平流作用是上升流产生的主要机制;而在近底层,平流作用与底摩擦都对上升流有贡献。

长江口上升流区营养盐的分布及其通量的初步估算

根据2004年5月份长江口调查资料,分析了春季长江口上升流现象及其对营养盐分布的影响;初步估算了春季上升流的营养盐通量。结果表明:在春季,低温、高盐、低溶解氧的上升流稳定存在于122°20′～123°00′E,31°00′～32°00′N海区的10m 层和底层之间,并可以涌升到10m 层以上海区。上升流为上层海区输入了丰富的 PO_4-P 和相对低浓度的 NO_3-N 和 SiO_3-si。对上升流营养盐通量的计算表明,春季上升流中磷酸盐输送通量远高于长江径流输入,可能会成为影响该海区磷酸盐分布以及浮游植物生长的一个值得关注的因素:而氮和硅营养盐则不如长江径流输入量大。     

台湾海峡中北部夏季溶解氧饱和度分布与上升流的关系

本文据台湾海峡中北部1983年5月至1984年5月、1987年7,8月和1988年5～7月调查资料,讨论了该海域夏季溶解氧饱和度分布特征及其与上升流的关系,结果表明该海区夏季上升流的中心位置经常出现于海坛岛北侧至湄洲岛一带海域,西南季风是该区上升流产生的主要动力因子,该区上升流平均流速为4.4×10~(-3)cm/s。     

台湾浅滩阻塞作用的初步研究

位于台湾岛西南横跨海峡的台湾浅滩处的水深不足20m(图1),它对于平均水深50m的台湾海峡中的流动有明显的阻塞作用.为了了解台湾暖流在浅滩附近的变化,我们有必要对浅滩阻塞的动力学机制进行深入研究.     

Upwelling by a wave pump

A rigid open-ended pipe is submerged in the ocean below the troughs of the surface waves and held fixed in the vertical position, the lower end being at or below the depth of wave influence. When surface gravity waves propagate past the pipe, water flows up as long as waves are present. The steady upward vertical velocity in the center of the pipe is calculated to be proportional to the square of both the average wave steepness and the pipe’s radius. An application is to bring nutrient rich waters up into the sunlit surface layers of the open oceans.     

南海叶绿素浓度季节变化及空间分布特征研究

以南海海域1997年10月至2002年9月SeaWiFS卫星遥感叶绿素浓度的资料为基础,分析了多年平均的南海叶绿素浓度的时空分布,初步分析结果表明,冬季南海大部分海域叶绿素浓度普遍较高,春季大部分海域较低;南海各个海区的叶绿素月平均最低浓度基本出现在春季的4月或5月,而最高浓度出现的月份却有不同的特征,在中央海盆区出现在12月,在广东沿岸海区出现在7月,在越南东南部近岸海域在8月和12月有两个最高值;在吕宋海峡的西部区域,尽管叶绿素浓度的最高值也出现在12月,但是叶绿素浓度的最低值却出现在夏季的7月.在空间上近岸区域的叶绿素浓度明显高于中央海盆区,西部海域普遍高于东部海域.南海叶绿素浓度的这一时空分布特征与流场(如上升流等)、海面温度场和风场等的变化有关,也与陆源物质的输入等关系密切.     

Vertical mixing at the head of the Laurentian Channel

Temperature, salinity and velocity profiles taken over a 5-day period in the St. Lawrence Estuary at the head of the Laurentian Channel are used to describe the semidiurnal tidal period isopycnal oscillations occurring in this region. The observed variation in the degree of vertical mixing over the tidal cycle is used to support the concept of nutrification of the estuarine surface waters and suggests an explanation for the quarter-diurnal variability of primary production in this region.     

Predatory impact of an epiphytic hydrozoan in an upwelling area in the Bay of Coliumo (Dichato, Chile)

The natural diet of the epiphytic hydrozoan Obelia geniculata has been studied in an upwelling area in the Bay of Coliumo (Dichato, Chile) during two 24-h cycles. Number of prey per predator and predatory density have been measured. In both cycles more than 78% of the diet consisted of eggs of invertebrates and faecal pellets. Compared with other species of hydrozoans studied in a similar way, O. geniculata had a heterogeneous diet and a capture rate which was scarcely related to the peaks of abundance of its prey. This catch rate was between 632×10³ and 10 393×10³ prey m⁻² day⁻¹, which corresponds to a mean ingestion rate of 113% of the hydranth biomass per day. These results indicate the importance of small-sized benthic suspension feeders in upwelling systems.     

东海黑潮区海水中磷酸盐的分布特征及成因探讨

本文报道了1987年夏、冬两个航次在26°50′～32°30′N,124°30′～131°30′E海区中可溶性无机磷酸盐的调查结果,阐明了磷的分布特征和形成机制。结果表明陆架区表层测值较高,大洋区为低值区,底层则相反。大洋水常年分层,中层水有爬坡涌升现象,其浓度与Aou呈正相关,与pH和S呈负相关。夏、冬两季底层磷与Aou呈正相关,其浓度变化主要依赖于生物过程。     

Seasonal evolution of the transverse thermohaline asymmetry in the Ria de Pontevedra (northwestern Spain)

A quasi-permanent transverse asymmetry in the thermohaline properties of the Ria de Pontevedra (northwestern Spain) was measured from October 1997 to October 1998 during 23 cruises. On average, the density increased form north to south. This asymmetry was maintained by salinity during the wet season, and by salinity and temperature during the dry season. The density difference between coasts (Δσ_t = σ_tsouth − σ_tnorth) and the river discharge were positively correlated (correlation coefficient, approximately 0.6) throughout the year. The density difference was negatively correlated with the upwelling index during the wet season (correlation coefficient, approximately −0.45) and positively correlated during the dry season (correlation coefficient, approximately 0.55).     

风和台湾暖流引起东海沿岸上升流数值计算

运用三维数值模型,首先计算了夏季风和台湾暖流引起的东海沿岸上升流。结果表明,风和台湾暖流的作用都可产生顺岸呈带状分布的上升流,风生上升流在２０ｍ至３０ｍ水层速度较大,其值一般为１．０×１０－３ｃｍ／ｓ;而台湾暖流形成的上升流则在３０ｍ以下速度较大,其值在浙南和闽北一般为１．０×１０－３ｃｍ／ｓ,在舟山近海为０．５×１０－３ｃｍ／ｓ。此外,运用Ｅｕｌｅｒｉａｎ－Ｌａｇｒａｎｇｉａｎ方法数值探讨了东海沿岸上升流区海水的源地。逆追踪结果表明,潮因子和风因子对沿岸上升流的贡献都是局地的,即仅能将上升流区附近下层的海水带到沿岸上层;台湾暖流则可将台湾海峡北口的深层水带到闽浙沿岸上层,使闽浙沿岸出现低温、高盐水。     

Diatom Assemblage and Productivity Changes during the Last 340,000 Years in the Subarctic Pacific

Diatoms represent the major part of the microfossils preserved in the subarctic Pacific sediments. During the warm climate intervals the diatom accumulation rate (DAR) tended to increase, whereas it tended to decrease during the cold intervals. Principal component (PC) analysis of the fossil diatom assemblages in Piston Core KH99-3 ES samples from the subarctic Pacific was carried out to investigate the paleoceanographic conditions of the area. PC1 (59.9% of the total variance) was represented by Neodenticula seminae, a characteristic species representing the high nutrient concentrations, which dominated during the interglacial periods. The DAR and PC changes can be attributed to a global origin that is influenced by the nutrient change due to intermediate water change and to a local one that is explained by the change of upwelling region. The analysis of PC2 (17.1% of the total variance) indicates the change of water mass in the western subarctic Pacific. During Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 2 and 3, the western subarctic Pacific region was significantly influenced by the sea-ice, which may have been derived from the coastal region or a proximal marginal sea. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
