人工砾石海滩变化及输移率研究

在我国采用砾石海滩在某些强动力区域进行海滩养护是一种新的尝试,具有很好的适用性。以厦门天泉湾人工砾石滩为研究对象,对2015年至2016年间10条海滩剖面开展了5次周期性监测,通过综合分析,得出在人工砾石滩竣工完成后的一年时间内,滩肩外沿线、岸线及滩面底角的砂砾分界线大幅度后退,滩肩宽度变窄;滩肩外沿线明显隆起,形成滩肩脊线;滩面坡度变大,且上游侧海滩的滩面普遍比下游侧海滩的滩面陡,一年后,岸滩整体变化趋于稳定。针对砾石滩不断向西南方向运移的现状,采用Leo C.van Rijn输移率公式计算砾石滩年平均输移率,并通过测量断面法、体积变化量法对Leo C.van Rijn公式计算结果进行验证,得出砾石滩年平均输移率的范围约为1 015.66~2 392.5 m~3/a。     

不同因素对人工岛波浪绕射影响研究

为研究人工岛尺度变化和波浪方向分布对人工岛绕射波浪的影响,基于MIKE21-BW模型应用数值方法模拟人工岛波浪绕射过程。数值结果与Briggs等的物理试验结果的对比表明两者吻合较好,验证了模型的适用性。在规则波条件时,圆形人工岛绕射波浪的数值结果与线性波浪绕射理论解基本一致;采用该模型分别模拟了6种尺度的圆形人工岛、单向不规则波和9种方向分布θ_(max)、4种谱峰周期条件时绕射波浪分布情况。分析结果表明,圆形人工岛绕射系数随着尺度的增加,掩护区绕射系数随之减小;θ_(max)在10°~45°范围内,随着θmax的增大,绕射系数随之增大,θ_(max)在45°~75°内绕射系数变化较小;随着谱峰周期的增加,绕射系数随之增大。研究成果既为相关规范的完善提供了基础,也为相关工程设计提供了参考。     

长江口青草沙水库前沿河床演变与失稳风险研究

位于长江口南北港分流口的青草沙水库是上海市最大的城市供水水源地,开展该水库前沿河床稳定性和失稳风险研究具有重要的理论意义和工程指导价值。基于此,利用长江口南北港分流口2000年至2013年期间实测的高精度地形资料,分析青草沙水库前沿河床近期地貌变化特征,为水库库堤安全预警提供相关理论支撑。结果表明:青草沙水库前沿河床冲淤变化在建库前后有明显差异,建库前总体表现为河槽冲刷、沙洲淤积,呈现准冲-淤振荡的性质;建库后变为幅度逐渐减弱的持续冲刷;沿河床河槽形态由U型向U型与V型河槽叠加的复式河槽转变。青草沙水库前沿沙体沿落潮主流方向下移,成形沙体呈先增长、再减少,最后趋于平衡的态势,隐形沙体大体呈减少趋势。青草沙水库库堤前沿近600 m位置是河床失稳的重点风险区域,尤其是水库库堤中上部河床处于不稳定状态,如前沿边坡所在河槽进一步逼近水库前沿,则河床面临进一步冲刷的可能。     

一种基于16S rRNA基因检测海洋浮游细菌群落的微阵列基因芯片

A better understanding of bacterioplankton community shifts following change in marine environments is critical to predict the marine ecosystem function. In order to get a snapshot of the microbial taxonomy profiling of a wide range marine area, a quick, convenient and low cost method would be favorable. In this study, we developed a 16S rRNA gene-based microarray using ARB software, which contained 447 probes targeting 160 families of marine bacteria. The specificity, sensitivity and quantitative capability of this microarray were assessed by single cloned16S rRNA genes. The reliability of this microarray was tested by eight environmental samples. The results showed that the microarray was specific, only 1.16% false results were detected in five single-clone hybridization tests. The microarray could detect DNA samples as few as 1 ng/μL and the signal intensity could reflect the relative abundance of the bacteria in the range of 1 ng/μL to 100 ng/μL of DNA concentration. Hybridization with environmental samples showed that it can discriminate bacterioplankton communities by sites and time. High throughput sequencing results from the eight samples confirmed the hybridization results. It indicated that this developed microarray could be used as a convenient tool to monitor the bacterioplankton community in marine environment.     

Thermal fronts and cross-frontal heat flux in the southern Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea

Synoptic features in/around thermal fronts and cross-frontal heat fluxes in the southern Huanghai./Yellow Sea and East China Sea （HES） were examined using the data collected from four airborne expendable bathythermograph surveys with horizontal approxmately 35 km and vertical 1 m（from the surface to 400 m deep） spacings. Since the fronts are strongly affected by HES current system, the synoptic thermal features in/around them represent the interaction of currents with surrounding water masses. These features can not be obtained from climatological data. The identified thermal features are listed as follows ： （ 1 ） multiple boundaries of cold water, asymmetric thermocline intrusion, locally-split front by homogeneous water of approxmately 18 ℃, and mergence of the front by the Taiwan Warm Current in/around summertime southern Cheju - Changjiang/Yangtze front and Tsushima front; （2） springtime frontal eddy-like feature around Tsushima front; （3） year-round cyclonic meandering and summertime temperature-inversion at the bottom of the surface mixed layer in Cheju - Tsushima front; and （4） multistructure of Kuroshio front. In the Kuroshio front the mean variance of vertical temperature gradient is an order of degree smaller than that in other HES fronts. The southern Cheju- Changjiang front and Cheju -Tsushima front are connected with each other in the summer with comparable cross-frontal temperature gradient. However, cross-frontal heat flux and lateral eddy diffusivity are stronger in the southern Cheju - Changjiang front. The cross-frontal heat exchange is the largest in the mixing zone between the modified Huanghai Sea bottom cold water and the Tsushima Warm Current, which is attributable to enhanced thermocline intrusions.     

The effect of the wave-induced mixing on the upper ocean temperature in a climate model

The significant underestimation of sea surface temperature （SST） and the temperature in the upper ocean is one of common problems in present climate models. The influence of the wave-induced mixing on SST and the temperature in the upper ocean was examined based on a global climate model. The results from the model coupled with wave-induced mixing showed a significant improvement in the simulation of SST and the temperature in the upper ocean compared with those of the original model without wave effects. Although there has still a cold bias, the new simulation is much closer to the climatology, especially in the northern ocean and tropical ocean. This study indicates that some important physical processes in the accurate simulation of the ocean may be ignored in present climate models, and the wave-induced mixing is one of those factors. Thus, the wave-induced mixing （ or the effect of surface waves） should be incorporated properly into climate models in order to simulate or forecast the ocean, then climate system, more accurately.     

“Trends” and variations of global oceanic evaporation data sets from remote sensing

The variability in global oceanic evaporation data sets was examined for the period 1988-2000. These data sets are satellite estimates based on bulk aerodynamic formulations and include the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Satellite-based Surface Turbulent Flux version 2 （ GSSTF2）, the Japanese-ocean flux using remote sensing observations （J-OFURO）, and the Hamburg Ocean-Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite version 2 （HOAPS2）. The National Center for Environmental Prediction （NCEP） reanalysis is also included for comparison. An increase in global average surface latent heat flux （SLHF） can be observed in all the data sets. Empirical mode decomposition （EMD） shows long-term increases that started around 1990 for all remote sensing data sets. The effect of Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991 is clearly evident in HOAPS2 but is independent of the longterm increase. Linear regression analyses show increases of 9.4%, 13.0%, 7. 3%, and 3.9% for GSSTF2, J-OFURO, HOAPS2 and NCEP, for the periods of the data sets. Empirical orthogonal function （EOF） analyses show that the pattern of the first EOF of all data sets is consistent with a decadal variation associated with the enhancement of the tropical Hadley circulation, which is supported by other satellite observations. The second EOF of all four data sets is an ENSO mode, and the correlations between their time series and an SO1 are 0.74, 0.71,0.59, and 0.61 for GSSTF2, J-OFURO, HOAPS2, and NCEP in that order. When the Hadley modes are removed from the remote sensing data, the residue global increases are reduced to 2.2% , 7. 3%, and 〈 1% for GSSTF2, J-OFURO and HOAPS, respectively. If the ENSO mode is used as a calibration standard for the data sets, the Hadley mode is at least comparable to, if not larger than, the ENSO mode during our study period.     

东海三疣梭子蟹雌体不同生理阶段肝胰腺的生化组成与其组织学结构的关系

通过生化分析和组织切片技术,系统研究了东海三疣梭子蟹第一次卵巢发育过程中肝胰腺指数(HSI)、主要生化成分和组织学结构的变化。结果表明:(1)三疣梭子蟹第一次卵巢发育过程中HSI呈先上升后下降趋势,最大值在Ⅳ期[(7.46±1.23)%],最低值在Ⅵ期[(4.62±0.63)%];(2)三疣梭子蟹第一次卵巢发育过程中,肝胰腺中的生化组成存在显著变化,Ⅰ期肝胰腺中水分含量高达67.91%,其他各期间无显著差异(P>0.05),肝胰腺中脂肪/湿重含量呈先上升后下降趋势,Ⅰ期最低(13.48%),Ⅳ期最高(24.24%);肝胰腺中蛋白/湿重并无显著变化(P>0.05),而总糖/湿重呈显著下降趋势(P<0.05);(3)不同生理阶段雌体肝胰腺组织学存在两个较明显的变化—生殖蜕壳及产卵前后,Ⅰ期肝小管中B细胞占优势(约50%左右),R细胞较细长,肝小管内腔中存在大量食物残渣和脱落的B细胞顶泡等,生殖蜕壳后(Ⅱ期后)的雌体肝胰腺中R细胞数量较多,随着时间的推移R细胞逐渐饱满。产卵后雌体肝胰腺中的细胞间界限变得模糊,部分肝小管的管腔开始自溶,但是此时B,F细胞数量开始增多,这说明随着春季东海海区水温的升高,雌体开始恢复摄食,以保证第二次卵巢发育的顺利进行。     

冲绳海槽岩浆物理化学性质及其地质意义

借助冲绳海槽火山岩地球化学分析结果,讨论了海槽不同区段岩浆的温度、压力、密度和黏度等物理化学参数,以确定海槽岩浆的物理性质及其对海槽不同区段岩浆演化过程的影响.海槽北段的岩浆相对于中段表现出高压力、低温度的特征.由于海槽岩浆挥发分含量较高,北段岩浆的密度和黏度要高于中段的.但总的来说,海槽岩浆具有低密度、低黏度的特点,因此岩浆更容易穿透岩石圈,而且有利于岩浆结晶分异作用的进行.对海槽岩浆相对运移速度的研究显示,在外部条件及含水量相同的前提下,在海槽中段岩浆上升速度要大于北段的,这从岩浆物理化学性质的角度解释了为何海槽中段火山活动要强于北段的.
