大亚湾及其邻近海域冬季温度、盐度的分布及日变化特征

根据2018年1月冬季航次的水文实测资料,详细分析了大亚湾海水温度(T)、盐度(S)的分布特征。整体而言,观测海区海表相对于海底具有高温低盐的特征;同时,无论是表层还是近底层,大亚湾湾内的海水相对于湾外都呈现高温低盐的特征。观测期间,应是受到大亚湾核电站温排水的影响,湾内西侧存在一个高温中心。盐度的差异在近底层更加明显,低盐中心位于大亚湾的湾顶和大亚湾的中部海域,而高盐中心则主要分布于湾口西侧及惠东以东附近海域。太阳辐射和潮流变化是影响大亚湾温度、盐度变化的两大重要因素。其中,太阳辐射的影响主要局限于表层3~4 m,对近底层海水的影响较小;其加热效应使湾内和湾口附近的表层海水都表现出明显的昼夜变化。由潮汐和温度、盐度的对应关系可知,潮流对湾内温度、盐度的影响较大,而对湾外温度、盐度的影响较小。     

日照海洋环境监测站海域表层海水盐度的变化特征

海水盐度是海洋物理环境的重要组成部分,其变化可改变水动力环境,进而改变海洋生态环境,因此研究海水盐度的变化特征具有十分重要的意义。文章对2011-2015年日照海洋环境监测站海域表层海水盐度的实测数据进行统计分析,研究结果表明：该海域表层海水盐度基本围绕多年平均值呈周期性波动;受季风影响,表层海水盐度呈显著的季节变化特征,即冬、春季高,而夏季最低;降水量对表层海水盐度的影响有明显的滞后性;冬季表层海水盐度有升高趋势。     

末次冰期以来印尼穿越流出口处古海洋学记录及其意义

印尼穿越流作为连接西太平洋和印度洋的唯一通道,调节着这两个大洋之间的热量和水汽的交换,继而在热带乃至全球气候变化中扮演着重要的角色。本文对来自于帝汶海内印尼穿越流出口处SO18460钻孔中浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber和Pulleniatina obliquiloculata壳体的Mg/Ca比值和氧同位素进行再分析,重建了末次冰期以来表层和温跃层海水温度、盐度以及温跃层深度的变化,并将其与区域古气候记录对比以探讨其意义。结果表明,末次冰期以来,SO18460孔的表层和温跃层海水盐度均与区域降雨量记录变化一致,显示降雨信号以海水盐度的形式通过水体混合由表层向温跃层的传输。自早全新世以来,SO18460孔的表层海水温度在28℃左右波动,可能是受西太平洋暖池的影响;同时,温跃层海水温度始终低于22℃可能指示厄尔尼诺-南方涛动处于类厄尔尼诺状态;而温跃层海水温度持续下降、温跃层深度持续变浅,一方面可能是对早全新世以来类厄尔尼诺事件频发的响应,另一方面也可能归因于热带辐合带的南向移动导致区域降雨增加、以及东亚冬季风驱使南海表层流的加强等因素对印尼穿越流表层流的抑制。冰期-间冰期尺度上,SO18460孔温跃层海水温度与北半球夏季太阳辐射量变化步幅一致,可能是北太平洋热带水借助棉兰老岛流在苏拉威西海混入印尼穿越流所致。     

热带太平洋盐度变化:2015?2017年盐度异常

本文利用Argo海水盐度资料、海流同化数据和同期大气再分析数据,探讨热带太平洋盐度趋势变化和相关动力过程。Argo资料显示,2015?2017年热带太平洋出现显著的盐度异常(SAE),这是改变长期趋势的主要原因,表现为表层显著淡化和次表层咸化特征。这种盐度异常具有明显的区域性特征和垂直结构的差异,体现在热带太平洋北部海区(NTP)和南太平洋辐合区(SPCZ)表层淡化,盐度最大变幅为0.71～0.92,淡化可以达到混合层底;热带太平洋南部海区(STP)次表层咸化,最大变幅为0.46,主要发生在温跃层附近,期间盐度异常沿着等位密面从西向东扩展。平流和挟卷是与SAE密切相关的海洋动力过程,两者在NTP淡化海域有着持续而较为显著的影响,在SPCZ淡化、STP咸化海域后期贡献也较大,其中盐度平流对热带太平洋海区盐度变化起主要贡献。NTP淡化海区表层淡水通量和STP咸化海区密度补偿引起的混合也是SAE的重要影响因素。     

大亚湾海水中N2O的分布特征与通量的初步研究

2004年1月(冬季)和4月(春季)在大亚湾海域设置15个采样站,采集大气和海水样品,运用静态顶空气相色谱法测定了大气和海水中溶存N2O的浓度并对其分布特征和海-气通量进行了初步研究。结果显示,海水中N2O浓度范围在10.90—40.54 nmol.L-1,饱和度为122%—454%,处于过饱和状态;N2O浓度在湾的中部分布较为均匀,大鹏岙、核电站、范和港顶和澳头等受人类活动影响较大的沿岸浓度较高,最大值出现在龙歧河口。海-气通量为0.05—0.78μmol.(m2.d)-1。海水中N2O浓度与NH4 的含量之间有较为显著的正相关性,河口与核电站是N2O的排放源,说明人类活动影响了大亚湾海水中N2O的分布。     

东海沿岸海域表层海水酸化趋势及影响因素研究

根据2002—2011年东海沿岸海域(4个区域,16个站位)春、夏、秋三个季节的表层海水pH、温度、盐度和叶绿素a等监测资料,对该海域pH的年际时空变化及其影响因素进行了探讨。结果表明,东海沿岸海域表层海水十年间pH变化趋势存在明显的季节和区域差异,共有10个站点表层海水pH呈下降趋势,主要集中于长江口和杭州湾海域,而三门湾和椒江口海域的酸化则不明显。环境因子相关性分析显示,杭州湾海域夏季表层海水的pH与叶绿素a浓度呈极显著正相关,其它海域两者间未显示出显著的相关性;杭州湾海域的pH与海表温度也存在显著的相关性,但季节不同趋势不同,呈现出春季正相关而夏季负相关的特征;pH与盐度的关系在各海域表现得更加明显,长江口、杭州湾和三门湾三个调查海区海水的pH变化与盐度都存在显著的正相关。总之,在10年的连续监测内东海沿岸海域存在一定程度的酸化趋势,其影响机制还需进一步研究。     

大亚湾西部海域沉积物中生物硅的含量及其分布特征

采用2. 0 mol/dm~3Na_2CO_3溶液5h单点化学提取-硅钼蓝连续分光光度分析法分别测定了大亚湾西部海域13个表层沉积物和1个沉积物岩芯中生物硅的含量.表层沉积物和沉积物岩芯中生物硅含量占比分别为0. 69%～2. 02%和1. 24%～2. 05%,平均值分别为1. 42%和1. 60%.结果证实西大亚湾沉积物中生物硅含量水平与我国南海近岸海域基本一致.在210Pbex测年的基础上,通过分析沉积物岩芯中生物硅、有机物、无机碳等多指标,揭示近百年来大亚湾周边环境变化对海洋环境的影响,证实了上世纪80年代以来西大亚湾周边农业、海水养殖业和工业发展等人类活动加剧了该海域生态环境变化,尤其90年代核电站运行对海洋生态变化造成一定的影响.     

长山群岛海区春季水温垂直结构分析

利用海军大连舰艇学院2006年4月长山群岛海区的CTD调查资料,系统分析了该季节长山群岛海区的温度垂直结构,并探讨了其形成机理。分析指出:4月上、中旬是长山群岛海区季节性温跃层的生成期,群岛东侧和南侧边缘受黄海冷水团形成过程的影响,温跃层的出现概率和跃层强度都远远高于群岛内部;在生成时机上,群岛东侧和南侧边缘海域早于群岛内部水域。中间层和底层海水温度的垂直结构与海流有着很好的相关性,在海洋平流的作用下,海区会产生正跃层、逆跃层、冷中间层、暖中间层等复杂的温度垂直结构。上层海水温度结构主要受海面风场和气温的影响,较强的热辐射和充分的风力搅拌能够加速温跃层的生成。     

尖笔帽螺(Creseis acicula)研究进展及其在大亚湾暴发机制初探*

尖笔帽螺(Creseis acicula)隶属软体动物门翼足目, 是营浮游生活的大洋暖水种, 在世界多个海域尤其是印度洋沿岸多次暴发, 但此前在中国海域未有暴发记录。2020年6—7月, 在大亚湾西南部核电站邻近海域监测到尖笔帽螺大规模暴发, 整个过程持续约1个月, 高峰期密度达到5600个·m^-3, 是迄今为止已报道的该种暴发的最高密度。尖笔帽螺的高密度区均集中在西南部沿岸区域, 尤其是岭澳核电站冷源取水口附近, 对核电冷源运行安全造成了严重影响, 引起政府、企业、科研界和社会公众的高度重视。鉴于目前对尖笔帽螺的暴发机制还知之甚少, 文章综述了尖笔帽螺生物生态学特征研究进展, 阐述了大亚湾尖笔帽螺的暴发和消退过程, 并基于对此次暴发事件的跟踪监测, 初步探讨其暴发机制及其生态效应, 认为核电站冷却水的温升效应、降雨引起的海水盐度波动以及浮游植物数量升高可能是诱发其暴发的重要因素。     

大亚湾西南海域尖笔帽螺2020年7月暴发期内的分布特征

尖笔帽螺是一种分布广泛的翼足类生物,在食物网与生物地球化学循环中起着重要作用。2020年7月,大亚湾出现高密度尖笔帽螺,给当地生态安全带来潜在风险。文章利用浮游生物成像仪（PlanktonScope）,以定点的方式对大亚湾西南海域的环境因子与尖笔帽螺密度进行采样,并对大亚湾高密度尖笔帽螺的分布特征进行研究。结果显示：在水平方向上,尖笔帽螺主要分布于西部湾口及长湾附近海域,其他海域分布相对较少;在垂向上,尖笔帽螺多分布于高温低盐的表层,低温高盐的下层水体分布较少;体长分布方面,湾口西部及其北侧海域尖笔帽螺体长较长,小辣甲西侧、北侧海域尖笔帽螺体长偏短,湾口中部海域体长远小于其他区域。通过分析结果发现,此次大亚湾湾内高密度尖笔帽螺存在随外海海流输入的可能;温盐分布结果表明,尖笔帽螺多出现在海水表层,其垂直分布可能也受海水分层及海流的影响。通过对尖笔帽螺分布特征的归纳与讨论,可以为后续该种生物的进一步溯源提供参考。     

Sedimentation,suspension, and resuspension in Tasman Bay and Beatrix Bay,New Zealand,two contrasting coastal environments which thermally stratify in summer

Abstract

The influence of density stratification on sedimentation, suspension, and resuspension in Tasman Bay and Beatrix Bay, New Zealand, two contrasting coastal environments, was studied with specific reference to the implications for modelling aquaculture sustainability. Tasman Bay, an enhanced scallop (Pecten novaezelandiae Reeve) fishery, is a very large coastal indentation gently shelving to c. 20 m deep c. 10 km from shore and open to the Tasman Sea, whereas Beatrix Bay, an area of intense Greenshell? mussel (Perna canaliculus Gmelin) aquaculture, is a small (22 km² × 30–40 m deep) enclosed embayment off the side of the nearby Pelorus Sound. Sediment trap arrays were used to determine the vertical fluxes of suspended solids and the associated chlorophyll component. Benthic chambers were used to investigate sediment nutrient regeneration. In summer, salinity gradients in both bays are minimal or non‐existent because of low inputs of fresh water and density stratification is mainly controlled by water temperature. The data from mid summer exhibited different spatial distribution patterns for detritus and phytoplankton biomass (as indicated by chlorophyll) in these two very different bays, although they had similar turbulent environments. The density discontinuity at the thermocline had a strong influence on settling of phytoplankton. There was evidence of upwards entrainment of suspended paniculate matter into the upper water column from the thermocline in Beatrix Bay. Benthic resuspension was estimated to contribute up to 90% of the suspended solids caught in sediment traps near the sea floor in both bays. The trapping rate of phytoplankton was thought to be dependent on species dominance. Possible mechanisms of resuspension included turbulence in the benthic boundary layer, and high velocities below the thermocline associated with internal seiches. The presence of a mid water column chlorophyll maximum in Beatrix Bay is discussed in terms of nutrient and light regimes at the thermocline, and species composition. In Tasman Bay, the chlorophyll maximum was thought to be caused by resuspension of benthic microphytes and their subsequent confinement in a thin layer (2–4 m thick) of high turbulence between the thermocline and the seabed.     

大亚湾水温层化的季节性突变

大亚湾是粤东的一个山地溺谷湾,1987～1989年间我们采用锚碇AANDERAA自记仪器,在大亚湾近湾口处C_2、C_4两站(图1)分别进行了多层次逐时水温连续观测,两次记录了夏秋之交水温分层状态演变过程的时间序列,发现每年9月上、中旬大亚湾水温层化状态有一突变,从垂直分层过度到垂直均一状态,该过度过程历时短暂,仅数天时间。     

Spatiotemporal variation and mechanisms of temperature inversion in the Bay of Bengal and the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean

In the northern Bay of Bengal, the existence of intense temperature inversion during winter is a widely accepted phenomenon. However, occurrences of temperature inversion during other seasons and the spatial distribution within and adjacent to the Bay of Bengal are not well understood. In this study, a higher resolution spatiotemporal variation of temperature inversion and its mechanisms are examined with mixed layer heat and salt budget analysis utilizing long-term Argo（2004 to 2020） and RAMA（2...     

Spring thermocline formation in the coastal zone of the southeastern Baltic Sea based on field data in 2010–2013

The transition from winter vertical mixing to the formation of the spring thermocline in the southeastern Baltic Sea is studied based on data from the hydrophysical measurements program (11 expeditions) in the Russian part of Gdansk Bay in March–June 2010, 2011, and 2013. CTD measurements were taken along the standard 18-km transect across the isobaths with a 500-m step abeam the city of Baltiysk. A set of frequently measured data was collected in a 1–2 week interval from the end of March to the beginning of May, which made it possible to analyze the transformation of the vertical thermal structure of water from inverse winter type to the summer stratification with the transition of temperature over the temperature of the density maximum. Series of repeated measurements at the deep and coastal stations as well as surface and subsurface towed measurements were carried out. The fact that lenses of freshened warmer water appear at the surface almost simultaneously with intensification of cold intrusions in intermediate (10–40 m) layers makes it possible not only to confirm the advective nature of the formation of the spring thermocline in the Baltic Sea, but also to hypothesize about the intensification of intrabasin exchange when winter-time vertical mixing ceases: the potential energy excess supported by vertical mixing in the 60-m upper quasi-homogeneous layer (UQL) of the Baltic Proper, in which the horizontal estuarine salinity gradient is significant, is converted to kinetic energy of exchange currents as the mixing process terminates. Such water dynamics makes it possible to explain the intensification of intrusions in the Baltic in spring and the formation of the cold intermediate layer due to the fast propagation of late-winter UQL water from the Bornholm Basin to the Baltic Proper. The results agree well with earlier published studies of other authors.     

Seasonal anomalies of water salinity in the Gelendzhik region of the Black Sea according to shipborne monitoring data

The paper presents results of analyzing the data on the variability of salinity in the upper layer of the coastal zone (including the seasonal thermocline) of the Black Sea during the 2010–2013 warm seasons (April–November). The data for the analysis were obtained from the regularly conducted CTD probing the by R/V Ashamba on a cross section abeam the Golubaya Bay (Gelendzhik). The relationship between salinity anomalies, coastal precipitation, and wind forcing is analyzed. It is shown that the contribution of thermal stratification to the density stratification in the seasonal thermocline is almost always greater than the contribution of salinity stratification, and the ratio of the former to the latter increases from April to November.     

Annual change of the number of anaerobic sulf ite reducing bacteria in sediment of the Daya Bay

The surface sediment samples were collected month by month at nine stations in the Daya Bay from January to December 1987, and the number of anaerobic sulfite reducing bacteria and their spores and the regularity of seasonal change were determined. The effect of environmental factors, water temperature and the resoluble oxygen concentration in the bottom of seawater on the number of them were discussed. The results show that the number of anaerobic su|fite reducing bacteria were low in sediment of the Daya Bay, indicating that the hay was less contaminated.     

Influence of the seasonal thermocline on the intrusion of Kuroshio across the continental shelf northeast of Taiwan

The hydrographic surveys in an area immediately northeast of Taiwan showed that the Kuroshio surface water intruded onto the shelf in the spring and there was a thick mixed layer and weak vertical stratification in the Kuroshio at the time. During the summer season, a strong thermocline was developed in the Kuroshio and the flow shifted offshore from Taiwan in front of the continental shelf break of the East China Sea. A numerical model is used to examine the effect of this seasonal thermocline on the flow pattern of the survey area. We find that the surface strength of the disturbance above the Su-Ao ridge is closely related to the occurrence of the on-shelf intrusion of Kuroshio. The presence of a seasonal thermocline in the Kuroshio can greatly diminish this disturbance in the surface level.     

与南沙深水区温跃层有关的海水平均温度的分布特征

在确定温跃层三要素 (深度 (上界深度 )、厚度和强度 )及测站温度垂直最大梯度的基础上 ,分别计算了南沙深水测站 (水深大于 1 0 0 0m)在温跃层上界深度层范围内的平均温度、在温跃层下界深度以下自 3 0 0m层至 80 0m层之间的平均温度。分析表明 ,在温跃层上界深度范围内 ,海水平均温度的水平分布明显显示出低温海水自南沙的西北部向东南部缓慢推进之势 ,似是东北季风驱动的结果。温度垂直梯度越大 ,它在垂直方向上阻碍上层海水的热量往深层扩散的能力就越强。
