Anomalous Dynamics of Bottom Currents and Temperature in the Northeastern Sector of the Middle Caspian Sea

The results of an investigation into water mass dynamics in the northeastern sector of the middle Caspian Sea are presented. High variations of currents are observed in this region of the sea, which are caused by the influence of the Peschanomysskoye Rise (PMR) on the cyclonic gyre. This bottom elevation is an obstacle to the currents of the gyre. The Yuzhno-Buzachinskii Deflection also influences the currents. Part of the dense and cold waters from the northern Caspian Sea flows along this deflection to the Derbent Basin. This basin is also a sink for the cold waters transported on the Peschanomysskoye Rise and those that overflow it. Observations in May 2015 over a cross-shaped survey at the western basement of the PMR showed that the currents in May in the western part of the survey in the entire water column from the surface to the bottom are organized in layers in the form of an anticyclonic spiral: the bottom current is directed to the south, the middle current is directed to the west, and the surface current is directed to the north. Lenses of warm water are observed in the bottom layer.

Tidal oscillations in the Caspian Sea

Long-term hourly data from 12 tide gauge stations were used to examine the character of tidal oscillations in the Caspian Sea. Diurnal and semidiurnal tidal peaks are well-defined in sea level spectra in the Middle and South Caspian basins. High-resolution spectral analysis revealed that the diurnal sea level oscillations in the Middle Caspian Basin have a gravitational origin, while those in the South Caspian Basin are mainly caused by radiational effects: the amplitude of diurnal radiational harmonic S₁ is much higher than those of gravitational harmonics О₁, P₁, and K₁. In the North Caspian Basin, there are no gravitational tides and only weak radiational tides are observed. A semidiurnal type of tide is predominant in the Middle and South Caspian basins. Harmonic analysis of the tides for individual annual series with subsequent vector averaging over the entire observational period was applied to estimate the mean amplitudes and phases of major tidal constituents. The amplitude of the M₂ harmonic reaches 5.4 cm in the South Caspian Basin (at Aladga). A maximum tidal range of 21 cm was found at the Aladga station in the southeastern part of the Caspian Sea, whereas the tidal range in the western part of the South Caspian Basin varies from 5 to 10 cm.

Ostracod communities in the Caspian Sea

A total of 15 communities of ostracods have been recorded based on the dominant species in the bottom sediments sampled at 204 stations in the Caspian Sea. The distribution of the communities is determined by the bathymetric zonality of the sea, the currents, the topography of the water mass boundaries, the hydrochemical parameters of the water, the continental runoff, and the concentrations of O₂ and C_org in the water and sediments.

南海沉积物中的正构烷烃和多环芳烃的分布及来源(英文)

重点研究南海沉积物中烃类化合物的有机地球化学特征,讨论了南海沉积物中有机物质的分布和来源。其中正构烷烃分布在Ｃ１６－Ｃ３３奇偶优势不明显,结合其轻重比值,显示有机质的输入在大部分站位以海洋源为主,在一些站位陆源输入的贡献也比较明显,海源输入中又以藻类等有机碎屑的贡献最大。在南海沉积物中共检出６０余种环芳烃,高环化合物（四环和五环）的总含量明显高于其他组分。一些陆源特征标志物如惹烯、烷基屈等化合物被检出,在大多数样品中都发现有的存在,推测其可能来源应是燃烧产物,而非陆源输入。     

北极楚科奇海海底表层沉积物有机碳的生物地球化学特征

1999年7月和2003年7月在北极科学考察中获取的楚科奇海海底表层沉积物有机碳质量分数的分析结果表明,楚科奇海海底表层沉积物有机碳平均质量分数约为1.41%,远高于我国东海和世界部分大陆架沉积物;有机碳/氮比值为8.69,反映了有机物以海洋自生为主的混合性来源;有机碳与有机氮之间显著相关(R=0.93);有机碳质量分数与粒度明显相关(R=0.71),细粒粘土质沉积物中的有机碳质量分数高于砂质沉积物的;在水深200m以内,有机碳质量分数随水深加大有一定的增加;有机碳质量分数与生源硅质量分数明显相关;有机碳质量分数随纬度变化较小。结合2次北极考察的实测结果,对楚科奇海海底表层沉积物中的有机碳来源进行了初步讨论,认为沉积有机碳埋葬可能主要取决于生物泵。

楚科奇海-加拿大海盆表层沉积物中的粘土矿物

楚科奇海-加拿大海盆表层沉积物中主要存在3种粘土矿物组合:1)伊利石-高岭石-绿泥石-蒙皂石,仅见于加拿大海盆北部;2)伊利石-绿泥石-蒙皂石-高岭石,主要见于楚科奇海中部;3)伊利石-绿泥石-高岭石-蒙皂石,普遍见于研究区内除上述两海区以外的广大区域.就各粘土矿物的区域变化而言,总体上由楚科奇海向加拿大海盆,伊利石和高岭石呈含量增加趋势,绿泥石和蒙皂石含量呈减少趋势.根据粘土矿物的质量分数和粘土矿物间比值的区域变化,可大体以(74°30′N,175°W)和(71°30′N,150°W)两点连线为界,将研究区分为南、北两个明显不同的粘土矿物分区:南区以绿泥石和蒙皂石含量较高为主要特征,其中S/I和S/K普遍较高、而K/I和K/CH则普遍较低;北区则以伊利石和高岭石含量较高为主要特征,其中S/I和S/K普遍较低,而K/I和K/CH则普遍较高.粘土矿物的这种分布格局和区域变化表明,在北冰洋的楚科奇海-加拿大海盆海域,不论是粘土矿物的来源还是其分布变化的控制因素,都存在着明显的南、北之别:在该海域的南部,粘土矿物主要来源于阿拉斯加的岩石风化产物、育空河的入海物质以及东西伯利亚海沿岸主要河流的入海物质,其分布主要受来自太平洋的水流结构和西伯利亚沿岸流所控制;而在该海域的北部,粘土矿物则主要来源于加拿大马更些河的入海物质和由北冰洋欧亚海盆扩散而来的细粒物质,其分布主要受北冰洋的跨极漂流、来自大西洋的水流结构以及波弗特涡流等所控制.

Diatomaceous oozes of the Middle Caspian Sea

Ten cores taken by a gravity corer from an area 5 × 5 km in size at the foot of the western slope of the Derbent Basin recovered uniform sections composed of variegated clotted diatomaceous oozes and soft gray clays with hydrotroilite-enriched spots, lenses, and laminae, the abundance of which increases downward. The diatom assemblages indicate a strongly freshened basin, which was replaced in the Holocene (Novocaspian time) by the brackish-water and then present-day saline sea. The grain-size composition of the sediments was determined by the gravitational deposition of suspended particles and by the near-bottom currents. The latter likely promoted the concentration of diatom frustules and accumulation of diatomaceous oozes.
