海洋-大气二氧化碳通量的观测技术

大范围稳定地获取海洋-大气系统中二氧化碳的精确数据,是海洋科学、大气科学以及全球变化科学和可持续发展科学计划中的重要任务.准确评估海-气CO2通量需要对海洋和大气中相关参数的同步精确连续观测,需要发展和建立海-气CO2通量的立体观测平台.该观测平台包括岸基、船基、航空、卫星和浮标等系统,主要技术包括走航大气和海水观测技术、浮标海-气CO2通量观测技术、极区海洋-大气CO2通量的观测技术和遥感海洋-大气CO2通量观测和评估技术.     

东海2012年夏季海-气界面碳交换及其区域碳汇强度变化趋势初探

基于2012年7月对东海的调查,剖析了其水体中各形态碳(pCO2、DIC、DOC、POC)的区域分布特征,估算了海-气界面CO2的交换通量(FCO2),探讨了影响其交换的主要因素,在此基础上,结合历史资料初步分析了近十几年来该海域海-气界面CO2交换通量的变化趋势。结果表明,2012年7月长江口邻近海域相对南部陆架区具有较低的DIC浓度,而DOC与POC的浓度相对较高。调查区域表层水pCO2变化范围为96.28~577.7μatm(1atm为101 325Pa),平均值为297.6μatm,低值区出现在长江冲淡水区(30°~33°N,123°~125°E),高值区主要分布在东海陆架的南部区域。表层水pCO2主要受控于长江冲淡水的输入和混合(盐度)、台湾暖流以及生物生产等。调查海域2012年7月海-气FCO2平均为(-6.410±7.486)mmol/(m2·d),表现东海在夏季是大气CO2的汇区,区域碳汇强度由强到弱依次为:长江冲淡水区(CDW)、黄东海混合水区(YEMW)、陆架咸淡水混合区(SMW)、近岸上升流区(CUW)和台湾暖流区(TWCW),东海夏季每日吸收大气CO2(以C计)约(18.3±19.8)kt。结合历史资料分析发现,近十几年来东海夏季碳汇强度有增强趋势,CDW区的海-气界面CO2通量平均年增速为-0.814mmol/(m2·d),即海水吸收大气二氧化碳每年增加约54.6kt,是夏季东海碳汇增加的最主要贡献者。     

塔基海-气界面动量通量观测：向岸风和离岸风情形比较

本文使用塔基直接观测法研究海洋大气边界层中的海-气界面动量通量。首先,我们收集数据并和前人观测结果比对,其比对结果符合一致。其次,在低风速至中等风速条件下,我们发现海-气界面动量通量的交换系数（又称拖曳系数）对于向岸风和离岸风两种情形有所差异。为此,我们使用一个考虑表面波的参数化方案解释海-气界面动量通量对于表面波的依赖关系。这些结果一方面证实表面波对于海-气界面动量通量的影响,另一方面验证一个考虑表面波参数化方案的有效性。     

东海及黄海南部海域走航海-气CO2 通量季节性变化

根据2003—2008年东海及黄海南部海域多个航次现场观测获得的海表温度、盐度及海水表层pCO_2观测数据,分析该海域海水表层pCO_2及海-气CO_2通量的季节变化特征,探讨了海-气界面CO_2转移与海表温度、盐度分布之间的联系。结果表明:该海域海水表层pCO_2及海-气CO_2通量具有显著的季节性差异。近海区域,春季受海表温度上升、生物作用加强的影响黄海南部、东海近岸区及陆架中部、东海南部表现为大气CO_2汇,其海-气界面季平均通量分别为(-7.77±6.59),(-11.08±8.99),(-2.94±6.78)mmol·m~(-2)·d~(-1)。夏季黄海南部区域表现为大气CO_2源(2.99±6.09)mmol·m~(-2)·d~(-1),与该海域的下层海水涌升有关,东海中部陆架区及东海南部近岸区由于淡水输入,形成跃层阻碍水体混合,再加上光合作用增强等的综合作用为大气CO_2汇,通量为(-4.81±8.92),(-0.75±12.14)mmol·m~(-2)·d~(-1)。秋季北风逐渐增强水体混合加剧,向冬季格局转变,底层富含CO_2的海水上涌,致使海表pCO_2升高,整个海区表现为大气CO_2源。在年际变化上,春季碳汇呈减弱趋势,而秋季碳源则逐渐增强。     

海-气界面气体交换速率和全球海洋CO_2通量的初步研究

在全球气候变暖的背景下,准确估计海-气界面CO_2通量显得非常重要。海-气界面CO_2通量通常利用块体公式,由气体交换速率与大气和海洋的CO_2分压差(ΔpCO_2)的乘积来计算。影响气体交换速率的因素很多,但一般经验性地与风速相联系,其测量方法通常有物质平衡法和涡相关法,后者给出的结果比前者大。基于前人的两类观测数据,提出了一个以风速为函数的气体交换速率新方案。在此基础上,基于最新的SOCATv2(Surface Ocean CO_2Atlas version 2)的ΔpCO_2数据集,计算了1982—2011年海洋对CO_2的净吸收量及其年变化,发现2001年海洋净吸收量存在一个最小值,2001年之后,海洋净吸收量迅速增加,而这一年变化特征主要由ΔpCO_2的年变化特征所决定,风速的影响可以忽略。     

基于海水环境和气象参数经验公式估算的东海海-气CO2通量

使用World Ocean Altas 2009提供的气候态月平均温度、盐度和磷酸盐浓度资料,以及Globalview和NCEP的大气资料,借助较为可靠的经验公式,估算了东海海表CO2分压(pCO2)和海-气CO2通量的平均分布特征和季节变化。结果表明,pCO2的空间分布形态四季大体相同,但其强度随季节变化,春、冬季低,夏、秋季高。CO2通量在东海陆架区为汇,汇的强度从NW向SE逐渐减弱;在黑潮区为源,强度从SW向NE逐渐减弱。东海整体于春、冬季为CO2的汇,夏、秋季为CO2的源。进一步分析东海pCO2和CO2通量季节变化的主要影响因子表明,东海海表pCO2变化主要受温度控制,而在陆架区,盐度和磷酸盐的作用不可忽略。东海整体CO2通量变化在4至10月由风速主导,11月至翌年3月由海表pCO2控制;陆架区CO2通量的季节变化主要由风速决定;黑潮区CO2通量的变化在夏季由风速主导,秋季由风速和pCO2共同影响。     

基于浮标观测的春季青岛近岸海水pCO2变化及海-气CO2通量研究

利用海-气界面浮标观测得到的高频数据,分析了春季青岛近岸海域海表二氧化碳分压(pCO₂)的变化规律及驱动因素,并对海-气CO₂通量进行了估算。观测期间该海域由大气的碳汇转变为碳源,主要是由海表pCO₂的不断增长所致。对海表pCO₂控制因素进行分析,发现温度升高是pCO₂增长的主要驱动因素,生物过程起到一定的抑制作用。海表pCO₂呈现出日变化特征,温度和生物因素对海表pCO₂日变化的作用均与太阳辐射相关,但两者的作用相反。此外,分析发现浮标的不同采样频率会对海-气CO₂通量估算产生影响,缩短采样间隔能有效降低海-气CO₂通量估算的偏差,提高估算的准确性。     

西太平洋热带海域海-气变换通量的初步分析

本文利用1985年12月下旬至1986年1月下旬中国科学院织组实施的西太平洋热带海域海洋—大气考察期间所获得的常规水文气象资料,计算和分析了海-气交换通量的特征。阐明了海-气交换通量的逐时变化特征,八次定时观测的海-气交换通量的特征;热量交换的逐日变化、平均日变化和交换通量的概率分布。指出了该海域的感热、潜热通量的传输方向及其各自所占的比例。考察期间盛行东北风,海-气间动力相互作用是强的。     

SST产品误差在海-气CO_2通量计算中的传递及贡献分析

海-气界面CO2通量的估算对于碳的生物地球化学循环和全球气候变化等研究具有重要的意义,利用遥感手段是进行全球尺度海表面碳通量估算的唯一手段,但是由于不确定性的存在限制了海-气界面CO2通量遥感估算产品在决策应用上的可靠性。本文通过建立海-气界面CO2通量直接控制参量(气体交换速率k、海表面CO2溶解度S和海表面CO2分压pCO2sw)误差结构图,以通量估算的主要影响因子——海表温度(SST)为例,建立了SST在通量计算中的误差传递流程图,并采用Monte Carlo方法模拟了SST误差在通量计算中的传递规律和对最终误差的贡献。结果表明在遥感SST误差为±0.5°C并为正态分布的假设下,误差在k、S计算中的传递为指数分布和近似指数分布,而在pCO2sw模型计算中为正态分布,最终在通量FC O中的传递为指数分布;在大气CO22分压为固定值370μatm的情况下,SST对最终的通量结果带来的误差为±1.2mmol/(m2·d)左右。本文以SST为例,提供了一种通量计算中遥感参数误差传递和贡献的计算方法,可以为其它遥感获取的参量提供分析依据和参考。

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.
