河流悬浮泥沙动态监测对河道变迁、水利工程安全运行、生态和环境保护等都具有重要的应用价值,利用遥感技术可对大区域河流水体悬浮泥沙进行实时监测。与海洋和湖泊等大面积水体相比,当前对河流悬浮泥沙遥感关注较少,且已有研究主要关注入海河流河口区域。为充分发挥不同时间、空间和光谱分辨率多源卫星遥感资料优势,实现更广泛区域、不同级别河流的悬浮泥沙输运遥感监测,对国内外已发表的关于河流悬浮泥沙卫星遥感的数据源和模型进行了系统归纳,总结出河流悬浮泥沙卫星遥感研究中面临河流遥感反射率高精度提取、悬浮泥沙浓度高精度遥感和基于二维表层悬浮泥沙浓度遥感的三维通量遥感等挑战和难点;在此基础上,从去除邻近效应大气校正、考虑悬浮泥沙粒径分布的浓度遥感和悬浮泥沙输运通量三维遥感3个方面对河流悬浮泥沙遥感监测的未来发展进行了展望。     

长江悬浮颗粒物中磷的赋存形态

2006年9~10月在长江采集悬浮颗粒物样品,应用改进后的SEDEX法对磷的赋存形态进行了分析.结果表明,自生磷灰石磷是长江悬浮颗粒物中磷的主要赋存形态.涪陵至万州江段,碎屑磷灰石磷的含量较高,弱吸附态磷和有机磷含量较低,磷的赋存形态主要受悬浮颗粒物含量的影响;香溪至葛洲坝下江段,弱吸附态磷和有机磷含量较高,碎屑磷灰石磷含量较低,磷的赋存形态主要受浮游植物生长及泥沙粒径的影响;城陵矶至大通江段,有机磷、碎屑磷灰石磷和铁结合态磷含量较高,弱吸附态磷含量较低,磷的赋存形态主要受泥沙粒径和洞庭湖输入的影响.长江悬浮颗粒物中生物可利用磷占颗粒态磷的45.6%,长江上游水体中生物可利用磷含量较低,下游含量较高.     

利用MODIS反演长江中游悬浮泥沙含量的初步研究

在众多卫星传感器中,中等分辨率成像光谱仪(MODIS)数据因其高的时间分辨率和中等的空间分辨率,对于水质研究具有自身的潜力和优越性.选取长江中游主河道武汉至宜昌段为例,利用MODIS 250 m波段数据定量反演了内陆河流悬浮泥沙的质量浓度.研究结果表明,地面实测的悬浮泥沙质量浓度与MODIS1,2波段的反射率组合(R1-R2)/(R1 R2)有很好的相关关系(相关系数 R2=0.72,样品数n=41),基于这种相关性建立了长江中游主河道武汉至宜昌段表层悬浮泥沙的遥感定量反演经验模型.     

悬浮泥沙对藻类生长影响的实测与分析

通过对长江下游镇扬段的牛轭湖—内江的泥沙、水质、光强、藻类等进行现场监测和数据分析,探讨了内江悬浮泥沙对水下光强的衰减规律以及对藻类生长的影响。结果表明:内江水体中存在80%以上的粒径小于75μm的微细悬浮颗粒,其中不易沉降的粘土颗粒占到20%～50%左右,枯水期平均含量为40 mg/L,丰水期平均含量为70 mg/L,而藻细胞生物总量基本都在100万个/L以内,其中绿藻、硅藻为优势种。数据分析表明:泥沙对水下光强的衰减遵循指数函数衰减规律,光衰减系数与泥沙含量呈较好的线性相关性,内江的优势种绿藻、硅藻的生物量与泥沙含量呈显著的指数相关。认为,泥沙通过衰减光强间接地抑制藻类繁殖,这一抑制作用可以由泥沙含量和藻细胞密度之间的关系进行定量。     

河口中颗粒有机碳的稳定同位素研究

河口中颗粒有机碳的稳定性碳同位素组成可作为一种示踪剂,用以研究颗粒有机质的来源和运移规律。由于颗粒有机质的粒径分布与悬浮泥沙的粒径分布是一致的,因而它也可用作悬浮泥沙运移的一种天然示踪剂。我国的主要大河多数泥沙含量很高,泥沙问题往往成为港口建设中的一个最重要的问题。因此颗粒有机碳稳定同位素方法将显示出广阔的应用前景。我国对河口中悬浮颗粒的研究,过去主要集中在痕量金属与悬浮颗粒的相互作用等方面,而对悬浮体本身运移规律的研究,八十年代才开始重视,这是我国急需开拓的一个新的

本文讨论了H.Rouse泥沙浓度分布公式的数学性质.在此基础上,将悬浮指数z<1的泥沙定义为细沙;将z≥1的泥沙定义为粗沙。本文推导了粗沙情况下床沙质输沙率的解析计算公式,经与数值结果比较,表明本文的推导是正确的。     

破碎波作用下沙质海床床面形态变化试验

波浪在斜坡沙质海床上破碎会加剧泥沙输移导致海床形态变化,研究破碎波作用下沙质海床形态变化机制对于岸滩演变分析极为重要。在波浪水槽中采用中值粒径0.47 mm原型沙铺设1∶20坡度的底床模型进行试验研究,测量不同波浪条件下床面形态和沙坝顶端悬浮泥沙浓度变化。通过测量和计算破碎带输沙率、沙坝尺度和沙坝移动速度,分析破碎波作用下沙质斜坡海床上床面形态变化规律。试验结果表明,破碎带沙坝顶端的悬浮泥沙浓度与水深和底部床面密切相关,在形成沙坝和沙坝水平方向移动时,悬浮泥沙浓度较大;斜坡上沙坝前后来回运动的周期大小具有随机性,沙坝既有向岸又有离岸移动;在多组波长时间作用后沙坝尺度趋于稳定,底床净输沙量趋于0。

基于Landsat-8数据南海近岸悬浮泥沙与叶绿素a浓度定量反演

为了对南海近岸海域海水悬浮泥沙与叶绿素a进行浓度估算,基于Landsat-8数据确定悬浮泥沙与叶绿素a的敏感波段并构建估算模型。结果表明,Landsat-8数据第一、二、四波段对悬浮泥沙浓度较为敏感,第一、二、三波段对叶绿素a浓度较为敏感,而以上单波段仍不能单独用于准确提取该区悬浮泥沙与叶绿素a,故建立多种形式的统计模型。由第一、二、四波段线性组合形成的悬浮泥沙浓度反演模型的相关系数达到0.904,平均相对误差为10.24%,反演精度为89.76%。由第一、二、三波段线性组合形成的叶绿素a浓度反演模型的相关系数达到0.886,平均相对误差为11.27%,反演精度为88.73%。     

长江口水流挟沙力公式初步研究

本文根据泥沙运动理论和水流能量平衡原理,结合水流对泥沙的作用效果并分析了现有水流挟沙力公式的适用条件,通过实测资料的整理和研究,推导得出长江口水流挟沙力公式.结果表明,河口半潮平均挟沙力应考虑水流对悬移质的输送和对床沙中悬移质的上浮,同时还应考虑河口其它动力因素(如风、波浪等)及其各类动力过程的非线性作用效应对水流挟沙力的贡献.本文提出的公式从泥沙输运及悬浮的角度去分析河口水流挟沙力,从而有利于河口冲淤特性的分析研究.对长江口而言,洪季水流对泥沙的输运作用大于悬浮作用,落淤的可能性大于冲刷;而枯季水流对泥沙的作用则以悬浮为主,冲刷的可能性大于落淤,从另一侧面解释了长江口"洪淤枯冲"的现象.     

Modeling on adsorption–desorption of trace metals to suspended particle matter in the Changjiang Estuary

The uptake and release of trace metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd, and Co) in estuaries are studied using river and sea end-member waters and suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected from the Changjiang Estuary, China. The kinetics of adsorption and desorption were studied in terms of environmental factors (pH, SPM loading, and salinity) and metal concentrations. The uptake of the metals studied onto SPM occurred mostly within 10 h and reached an asymptotic value within 40 h in the Changjiang Estuary. As low pH river water flows into the high pH seawater and the water become more alkaline as it approaches to the seaside of estuary, metals adsorb more on SPM in higher pH water, thus, particulate phase transport of metal become increasingly important in the seaward side of the estuary. The percentage of adsorption recovery and the distribution coefficients for trace metals remained to be relatively invariable and a significant reduction only occurred in very high concentrations of metals (>0.1 mg L⁻¹). The general effect of salinity on metal behavior was to decrease the degree of adsorption of Cu, Zn, Cd, Co, and Ni onto SPM but to increase their adsorption equilibrium pH. The adsorption–desorption kinetics of trace metals were further investigated using Kurbatov adsorption model. The model appears to be most useful for the metals showing the conservative behavior during mixing of river and seawater in the estuary. Our work demonstrates that dissolved concentration of trace metals in estuary can be modeled based on the metal concentration in SPM, pH and salinity using a Kurbatov adsorption model assuming the natural SPM as a simple surfaced molecule.     

An efficient method of generating random permeability fields by the source point method

Aquifer properties, for example permeability and porosity, vary in space and may be characterized by their distributions. The property distribution is not totally random but shows some correlation structure. Because most of the values are not known, some rational method is required to generate credible aquifer distribution properties for inclusion in fluid transport models. This paper presents a numerically efficient method of generating geostatistical random fields, by the source Point Method (SPM). The SPM is a very efficient method and requires little computer time and relatively small data storage, as compared to other methods of generating random fields. In addition, the SPM is modified to include any desired amount of anisotropy in the property distribution of a system. By using conditional covariances, a formula for a two-dimensional anisotropic field is derived to prespecify the desired correlation length in any direction. Results show that for an anisotropic medium the correlation length can be pre-specified in any specific direction.     

中国东部主要河流稀土元素地球化学特征

在2007年底至2008年初的枯水期间,系统采集了中国东部流域面积和径流量较大的33条河流沉积物、悬浮颗粒物和水样,采用等离子质谱法、X荧光光谱法等方法测定了14种稀土元素含量以及常量组分和水体pH值等理化指标。研究发现中国河流稀土元素浓度总体高于世界均值,且南方河流沉积物、悬浮物稀土元素含量高于北方河流,南方河流悬浮物态中稀土、重稀土呈现一定程度的相对富集,与我国上地壳稀土丰度和稀土矿产种类的南北分异相吻合。展示了以中国东部泥质岩稀土元素丰度标准化后的稀土配分模式及Ce、Eu异常特征,发现河流沉积物的中、重稀土元素相对富集,悬浮物轻稀土相对富集,溶解相重稀土富集的特征;北方河流溶解相稀土元素浓度明显大于南方河流,且除小清河外,溶解相Eu不同于沉积物与悬浮物而呈强烈的正异常,主要与河水理化性质影响下的稀土分异有关。研究发现小清河等少数河流沉积物中稀土元素为异常高值,经Al标准化处理、计算拟合剩余值后,认为小清河等河流稀土元素已受人为污染的影响。     

Abundance and structural diversity of bacteriohopanepolyols in suspended particulate matter along a river to ocean transect

The concentration and structural diversity of a suite of bacteriohopanepolyols (BHPs) was measured in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from six stations along a river-ocean transect off the Pacific coast of Panama. Riverine SPM contained BHPs diagnostic of soil input consistent with a terrigenous source. The concentration of BHPs was 10 times greater in riverine SPM than marine SPM demonstrating that terrigenous OM exported to marine sediments could provide a significant contribution to the marine sedimentary hopanoid inventory. Given the rich structural diversity of BHPs in terrigenous SPM, interpretations of the sedimentary record of hopanoids in coastal marine settings must resolve inputs from marine pelagic and terrigenous sources.     

Seasonal and tidal monthly patterns of particulate matter dynamics in the Columbia River estuary

We investigated seasonal and tidal-monthly, suspended particulate matter (SPM) dynamics in the Columbia River estuary from May to December 1997 using acoustic backscatter (ABS) and velocity data from four long-term Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) moorings in or near the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM). ABS profiles were calibrated and converted to total SPM profiles using pumped SPM samples and optical backscatter (OBS) data obtained during three seasonal cruises. Four characteristic settling velocity (W _s) classes were defined from Owen Tube samples collected during the cruises. An inverse analysis, in the form of a non-negative least squares minimization, was used to determine the contribution of the four,W _s-classes to each, total SPM profile. The outputs from the inverse analyses were 6–8 mo time-series ofW _s-specific SPM concentration and transport profiles at each mooring. The profiles extended from the free surface to 1.8–2.7 m from the bed, with 0.25–0.50 m resolution. These time series, along with Owen Tube results and disaggregated size data, were used to investigate SPM dynamics. Three non-dimensional parameters were defined to investigate how river flow and tidal forcing affect particle trapping: Rouse numberP (balance between vertical mixing and settling) trapping efficiencyE (ratio of maximum SPM concentration in the estuary to fluvial source concentration), and advection numberA (ratio of height of maximum SPM concentration to friction velocity). The most effective particle trapping (maximum values ofE) occurs on low-flow neap tides. The location of the ETM and the maximal trapping migrated seasonally in a manner consistent with the increase in salinity intrusion length after the spring freshet. Maximum advection (high values ofA) occurred during highly stratified neap tides.     

Role of Suspended Particulate Matter in Regulating the Behavior of Dissolved Uranium in the Yellow River Estuary

In order to examine the mixing behavior of dissolved uranium (U) in estuaries under different suspended particulate matter (SPM) regimes, three laboratory-based experiments were conducted by mixing seawater with river water containing different concentrations of SPM. Comparing this study with other field and laboratory-based experiments, dissolved U behaved differently depending upon the concentration of SPM. When SPM concentrations are >?0.8 g/L in the Yellow River, desorption/dissolution of U from SPM becomes predominant and dissolved U is enriched relative to the theoretical mixing line. However, when SPM concentrations are <?0.8 g/L, dissolved U behaves conservatively with some extent of removal during estuarine mixing. ²³⁴U/²³⁸U activity ratios were somewhat constant showing no measurable isotopic fractionation during physical mixing and U sorption/desorption to/from particles. Addition of dissolved ²³⁸U desorbed/dissolved from SPM during the annual Yellow River water-sediment regulation scheme (Jun 30th–Jul 14th, 2014) was estimated at 6.4?×?10¹¹ dpm, about 9% of the total riverine flux of dissolved ²³⁸U during that same period. This study represents a contribution to studies of dissolved U in muddy rivers and estuaries throughout the world. Results reported here provide not only a perspective to better estimate U flux from rivers to the ocean but also new insights into better understanding its estuarine mixing behavior and controlling factors.     

Trace metal adsorption onto urban stream suspended particulate matter (Auckland region,New Zealand)

Trace metal adsorption to suspended particulate matter (SPM) influences bioavailability and toxicity of trace metals in natural waters. For highly contaminated urban catchments in the greater Auckland (New Zealand) area, trace metal adsorption to SPM was assessed and compared to similar data from non-urban catchments in the Auckland region, to determine whether there was any difference in the ability of the SPM to adsorb Cu, Pb and Zn. The degree of trace metal adsorption onto the SPM was assessed by way of adsorption edge experiments. It was found that the ability of the Auckland urban SPM to adsorb trace metals decreased in the order Pb > Cu > Zn. Little difference in adsorption was observed between the non-urban Waikato and Kaipara River SPM and urban SPM, or between urban SPM from different flow regimes and seasons, despite some compositional differences in the SPM. This suggests that on the basis of a single surface-binding site, metal adsorption onto SPM could be readily predicted across a range of urban and non-urban catchments in the Auckland region. Adsorption edges were modelled with a diffuse layer, surface complexation model to assess the role of Fe-oxide in adsorption. The MINTEQA2 model was used, assuming Fe-oxide (as HFO) was the only adsorbing surface. There was generally good agreement between observed and modelled adsorption for Pb, indicating the importance of Fe-oxide surfaces for Pb adsorption. However, the model did not predict Zn or Cu adsorption as well. The TOC content of the SPM, and presence of dissolved ligands and organic matter in the water column, appeared to play an important role in Cu adsorption to the SPM. For Zn, the presence of adsorbing surfaces other than HFO appeared to influence adsorption.     

Seasonal and spatial variability of particulate matter of a muddy intertidal flood front

The concentration and composition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) were measured weekly for a period of one year in the flood front waters traversing a muddy tidal flat. SPM concentrations were lowest in the winter when portions of the tidal flat were covered with ice, and biological activity was minimal. In contrast, the summer months had the highest SPM concentrations which reflected increased bottom resuspension. The two main sources of SPM were suspended matter carried in from offshore on the flooding tide and resuspended in situ bottom sediments. The offshore source was characterized by low SPM concentrations, coarse textures, and a high content of protein and chlorophyll ‘a’. Samples taken during resuspension events (storms/showers) had high SPM concentrations, finer textures, and were enriched in dead detrital organic material (phaeophytin). At any one time the SPM was primarily an admixture of these two sources. The highest SPM measurements were taken during storm events, with rainfall seeming to play a dominant physical role in aiding resuspension. SPM concentrations, textures, and compositions collected during the storms closely approximated SPM measurements made over newly dug ‘clam flats’.     

Variability of the mixing zones and estuarine turbidity maxima in the Elbe and Weser estuaries

The neighboring coastal plain estuaries of the Elbe and Weser Rivers in Northern Germany exhibit pronounced estuarine turbidity maxima (ETM). Common features and differences between the longitudinal distributions of salinity and suspended particulate matter (SPM) in both estuaries are compared as well as the mechanisms effecting them. Monthly transects of the near surface SPM indicate that the long-term variability of salinity and the ETM is mainly influenced by the freshwater runoff. The variability is reduced to certain characteristic patterns by application of Empirical Orthogonal Functions analysis. The coefficients of these patterns are then correlated to runoff and the resulting functional regressions are used for the construction of a statistical model for the distribution of salinity and SPM along the estuaries; for SPM this has not been successful.
