Preliminary results of the global ocean tide derived from HY-2A radar altimeter data

The HY-2A satellite, which is equipped with a radar altimeter and was launched on August 16, 2011, is the first Chinese marine dynamic environmental monitoring satellite. Extracting ocean tides is one of the important applications of the radar altimeter data. The radar altimeter data of the HY-2A satellite from November 1, 2011 to August 16, 2014 are used herein to extract global ocean tides. The constants representing the tidal constituents are extracted by HY-2A RA data with harmonic analysis ...

An objective algorithm for reconstructing the three-dimensional ocean temperature field based on Argo profiles and SST data

While global oceanic surface information with large-scale, real-time, high-resolution data is collected by satellite remote sensing instrumentation, three-dimensional (3D) observations are usually obtained from in situ measurements, but with minimal coverage and spatial resolution. To meet the needs of 3D ocean investigations, we have developed a new algorithm to reconstruct the 3D ocean temperature field based on the Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography (Argo) profiles and sea surface temperature (SST) data. The Argo temperature profiles are first optimally fitted to generate a series of temperature functions of depth, with the vertical temperature structure represented continuously. By calculating the derivatives of the fitted functions, the calculation of the vertical temperature gradient of the Argo profiles at an arbitrary depth is accomplished. A gridded 3D temperature gradient field is then found by applying inverse distance weighting interpolation in the horizontal direction. Combined with the processed SST, the 3D temperature field reconstruction is realized below the surface using the gridded temperature gradient. Finally, to confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm, an experiment in the Pacific Ocean south of Japan is conducted, for which a 3D temperature field is generated. Compared with other similar gridded products, the reconstructed 3D temperature field derived by the proposed algorithm achieves satisfactory accuracy, with correlation coefficients of 0.99 obtained, including a higher spatial resolution (0.25° × 0.25°), resulting in the capture of smaller-scale characteristics. Finally, both the accuracy and the superiority of the algorithm are validated.     

A detection model of underwater topography with a series of SAR images acquired at different time

underwater topography is one of oceanic features detected by Synthetic Aperture Radar. Underwater topography SAR imaging mechanism shows that tidal current is the important factor for underwater topography SAR imaging. Thus under the same wind field condition, SAR images for the same area acquired at different time include different information of the underwater topography. To utilize synchronously SAR images acquired at different time for the underwater topography SAR detection and improve the precision of detection, based on the detection model of underwater topography with single SAR image and the periodicity of tidal current, a detection model of underwater topography with a series of SAR images acquired at different time is developed by combing with tide and tidal current numerical simulation. To testify the feasibility of the presented model, Taiwan Shoal located at the south outlet of Taiwan Strait is selected as study area and three SAR images are used in the underwater topography detection. The detection results are compared with the field observation data of water depth carried out by R/V Dongfanghong 2, and the errors of the detection are compared with those of the single SAR image. All comparisons show that the detection model presented in the paper improves the precision of underwater topography SAR detection, and the presented model is feasible.     

Characteristics and evolution of lacustrine turbidite of Chang-7Member of Yanchang Formation in northern Shaanxi

Lacustrine turbidite of Chang-7 Member in the studied area consists of siltstone and fine sandstone with respect to grain size, which is feldspathic lithic sandstone, syrosem arkose and arkose with respect to mineral constitution affected by provenance. There are such apparent signatures as lithology, sedimentary structure, sedimentary sequence and well logs, to recognize turbidite. During the paleogeographic evolution of Chang-7 Member, lake basin and deep lake are both at their maximum extent during Chang-73 stage, resulting in the deposition of Zhangjiatan shale with widespread extent and of turbidite with fragmental-like. Deep lake line is gradually moving toward lake center and turbidite sand bodies are gradually turning better with better lateral continuity, connectivity and more thickness, from stages of Chang-73, Chang-72 and Chang-71 , which can be favorable reservoir in deep-water.

基于再分析数据的南海三维温盐结构特征分析

掌握南海三维温盐场特征对于研究南海海洋动力环境及其对海洋气候变化的影响具有重要意义。基于海洋再分析数据GLORYS12V1和AVHRR OISST数据,开展了南海温盐空间分布及季节变化分析,以及海表温度对台风过程的响应特征分析。分析结果表明：南海海表温度一般为25～32℃,最高温度出现在8月的黄岩岛附近海域,海表盐度一般为32～35 psu,最高盐度出现在7月的东海附近海域;温盐垂向结构表现为表层高温低盐,随着深度增加温盐季节性变化越小。南海地区温跃层深度存在明显季节变化特征,秋冬季节温跃层深度大于春夏两季。根据“威马逊”台风期间海表温度变化特征分析海表温度对台风过程的响应,台风期间南海水体垂向混合作用增强,海表温度降温明显。

Primary investigation of quartz as a possible carcinogen in coals of Xuanwei and Fuyuan, high lung cancer incidence area in China

Xuanwei and Fuyuan, located in southwest China, are two counties with extremely high lung cancer incidence. Pollution, relative to coal combustion, especially serious air pollution generated by burning smoky coals in unvented households was the most predominant cause. Quartz as a possible inorganic carcinogen in all typical coals (18 sites in Xuanwei and 14 sites in Fuyuan) were sampled and examined to determine the relationships between quartz content and lung cancer incidence. Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray apparatus and X-ray diffractometer were employed for quartz analysis. It showed that it coincided with studies reported before in Xuanwei. Coal samples from high cancer incidence areas were all examined with high content of quartz, while coal samples from low cancer incidence areas with no content of quartz. However, data in Fuyuan received reverse results; many samples from low lung cancer incidence areas were found with quartz, but some samples from high lung cancer incidence areas were not found at the same detection limits. It indicated that quartz content in local coals has no significant relationship to lung cancer. This study added basic data and should be helpful to the future study on the etiology of lung cancer.
