Digital preprocessing techniques for GLORIA II sonar images

Image processing techniques are discussed that correct distortions in GLORIA II side scan sonar imagery including water column offset, slant-range distortion, multiple returns, aspect ratio, speckle noise, striping, and cross-track power drop-off. The software operates within NASA's ELAS image processing system and is applied to the original 12-bit GLORIA II data. Procedures are discussed for generating large scale mosaics and three-dimensional overlays with sea floor bathymetry. The results are shown in four sonographs acquired off the southern coast of California.     

Sedimentary characteristics and genetic mechanism of the giant ancient pockmarks in the Qiongdongnan Basin,northern South China Sea

In the late Miocene, giant ancient pockmarks, which are fairly rare globally, developed in the Qiongdongnan Basin. In this paper, to determine the sedimentary characteristics and genetic mechanism of these giant ancient pockmarks in the Yinggehai Formation of the Qiongdongnan Basin, based on high-resolution 3D seismic data and multiattribute fusion technologies, we analyzed the planar distribution and seismic facies of the ancient pockmarks and compared the characteristics of the ancient pockmar...

A three-dimensional wave field over a bidirectionally periodic ripple bottom

For gravity wave trains propagating over an arbitrary wavy bottom, a perturbation expansion is developed to the second order so that the Bragg resonance effect of the ripple bottom on the free-surface wave can be analyzed. Both the resonant and non-resonant cases are treated and the singular behavior at resonance is avoided. This theory is successfully verified by reducing to simpler situations. Then, the analytical results for the special case of a unidirectional sinusoidal bottom are compared with experimental data for validation.     

法国“阿塔郎特”号海洋调查船上的重力取样

在海洋地质调查中，如何取得好的沉积物样品是每一位海洋地质学家所向往的，而获得好的沉积物样品的关键又很大程度上取决于先进的海洋调查仪器的使用。法国“阿塔郎特”号海洋调查船上的重力取样管不管在性能上，还是安全性上都瞰称世界上比较先进的取样设备。     

西沙群岛现代的有孔虫Ⅰ

有孔虫是一类原生动物,除极少数种类生活于淡水环境、少数种类生活于与海有联系的半咸水环境外,大多数种类生活于海洋环境;其生活方式，大多数种类营底栖生活,少数种类营浮游生活。由于有孔虫具有个体小、种类多、数量大、对环境因子的反应较敏感、地理分布广泛、地质历程长久、其遗壳能在地层中长期保存等特点,因此,它不仅是研究现代海洋生态学的良好材料,同时也是研究古海洋生态学、恢复古海洋沉积环境及古气候、识别海相地层、进行地层对比等的重要微体化石之一。“科学的发生和发展一开始就是由生产决定的。”随着石油等沉积矿藏的勘探、开发,有孔虫研究越来越为人们所重视,成为地层对比、岩相识别、恢复古地理和古气候等的重要手段之一。 我国西沙群岛的有孔虫,过去尚无报道。本文是根据中国科学院海洋研究所西沙群岛生物考察队于1957年采自赵述岛、北岛和中岛的三份珊瑚砂样品进行研究的。对西沙群岛的现代有孔虫进行调查研究,不仅在我国有孔虫区系和动物地理学研究上具有重要意义,并可为开展南海及南海诸岛地层中的有孔虫动物群研究提供必要的参考资料。 西沙群岛的有孔虫区系极其丰富多采,种类当远远超过本文所记录的种数。本文研究所依据的样品数太少,只能是一个极其初步的记录。     

Seafloor topography and landform characteristics of Zengmu Shoal waters and their evolvement

The topography data of the Zengmu Shoal and its adjacent area are acquired by the SeaBat-8111 multibeam system.The full survey covering over the Zengmu Shoal area gives us new knowledge about the area. It is a flat underwater platform consisting ofcoral reefs, its fathom line is like a trap in near SN direction and its shape is like an isosceles triangle with the acute angle pointing to the north. The east and west sides ofthe shoal are steep while its south side is more gentle. As viewed from geological evolution, the Zengmu Shoal is a typical biologic coral landform caused by tectonic uplift.

Wave-induced seabed instability around a buried pipeline in a poro-elastic seabed

The subject of the wave–seabed–structure interaction is important for civil engineers regarding stability analysis of foundations for offshore installations. Most previous investigations have been concerned with such a problem in the vicinity of a simple structure such as a vertical wall. For more complicated structures such as a pipeline, the phenomenon of the wave–seabed–structure has not been fully understood. This paper proposes a finite-difference model in a curvilinear coordinate system to investigate the wave-induced seabed response in a porous seabed around a pipeline. Based on the present numerical model, mechanism of the wave-induced soil response is examined. Employing Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion, the wave-induced seabed instability is also estimated. The numerical results indicate the importance of the effect of pipeline on the seabed response.
