Impacts of stormwater discharges on the nearshore benthic environment of Santa Monica Bay

Although large loads of potentially toxic constituents are discharged from coastal urban watersheds, very little is known about the fates and eventual impacts of these stormwater inputs once they enter the ocean. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of stormwater discharges on the benthic marine environment of Santa Monica Bay. Sediment samples were collected across a gradient of stormwater impact following significantly sized storm events offshore Ballona Creek (a predominantly developed watershed) and Malibu Creek (a predominantly undeveloped watershed). Sediments offshore Malibu Creek had a greater proportion of fine-grained sediments, organic carbon, and naturally occurring metals (i.e., aluminum and iron), whereas sediments offshore Ballona Creek had higher concentrations of anthropogenic metals (i.e., lead) and organic pollutants (i.e., total DDT, total PCB, total PAH). The accumulation of anthropogenic sediment contaminants offshore Ballona Creek was evident up to 2 km downcoast and 4 km upcoast from the creek mouth and sediment concentrations covaried with distance from the discharge. Although changes in sediment texture, organic content, and an increase in sediment contamination were observed, there was little or no alteration to the benthic communities offshore either Ballona or Malibu Creek. Both sites were characterized as having an abundance, species richness, biodiversity and benthic response index similar to shallow water areas distant from creek mouths throughout the Southern California Bight. There was not a preponderance of pollution tolerant, nor a lack or pollution sensitive, species offshore either creek mouth.     

三阶海浪波高分布其应用

在三阶海浪非线性波高分布模式的基础上，引进描述分布函数结构形重要统计量，即概率分布的离差系数与偏差系数。与偏差系数。给出这两个统计量与非线性控制参数之间的解析关系式，从而给出了反映风浪不同状态下的波高分布特征。与传统的瑞利分布相比，本文的结果有更广泛的衫意义。并把理论应用于黄河口波浪统计学的研究。     

盐渍土壤的介电特性

采用Ｌ波段介电探针，对沙壤，砂质粘土和粘土三种不同性质的土壤作了详尽的实验室实验，结果显示，土壤的盐度同介电常数的实无关，而同虚部相关，并随盐度的增加而增加。还表明，实数部分更多的依赖于土壤的湿度，虚数部分取决地土壤的盐度，土壤的含钠性对介电常数的实部和虚部都无影响。本研究展示了Ｌ波段对土壤盐度的微波响应。同时说明，在湿壤的条件下，采用Ｌ波段，将盐壤从钠壤中分离出来的可能性。     

Molecular identification of bloom-forming species Phaeocystis globosa(Prymnesiophyta)and its dispersal based on rDNA ITS sequence analysis

Abstract-The colony-forming Phaeocystis species are causative agents of dense bloom occurrences incoastal waters worldwide. It is difficult to separate them because of the different morphologies associatedwith their colonial stages. In this study we applied molecular approaches to analyze the genetic variationof Phaeocystis globosa and Phaeocystis pouchetii from several geogrtaphic regions, and to assist in tracingthe dispersal of bloom-forming Phaeocystis species in coastal waters of China. The Sequences of the inter-nal transcribed sacers (ITS1 and ITS2) of rDNA and the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene of Phaeocystisstrains were determined. Sequence comparison shows that P.globosa was the most divergent toP. pouchetii, exhibiting sequence divergence higher than 0.08. However, lower genetic divergences ex-isted between strains of P.globosa. The sequence comparison of the Phaeocystis rDNA ITS clearlyshows that the species isolated from the southeast coast of China is identified as P. globosa rather thanP. cf. po

海浪波群的谱特征分析

海浪的波谱特征分析对认识海浪有重要的意义，因为海浪谱反映了海浪的结构成分。这对海工建筑、海洋运输、船舶制造、海浪预报和海浪模拟等均有重要的实用意义。 波群是伴随海浪经常出现的一种自然现象，且经常伴随大浪的出现而出现。实践证明，波群具有极大的破坏力，其破坏性远比单个波大得多，它是海浪破坏海工建筑物的重要因子，许多防波堤的破坏并非是由单个波的作用，而是由相继出现的几个大波(波群)作用的结果。早先，人们对波群这种习见的现象研究甚少。自1974年葡萄牙锡尼斯港深水防波堤的破坏之后，对波群的研究才日益受到重视。 对波群的研究目前多采用包络方法、马尔科夫链方法和波能过程线法。波群研究的主要内容是波群的统计特征(如波群链长统计)；另外，波群的模拟也是重要的研究内容之一。目前用包络方法研究波群比较普遍，且有不少研究成果。徐德伦等(2001)综述了这方面的研究进展及结果，文圣常等(1984)也进行了详尽的讨论。 以往的研究大都是研究波群的统计特征，如合田良实(1976)、 Ewing(1973)、Rye(1974)。而针对地域性的波浪，我国学者也只是以包络方法为基础讨论了不同地域海浪波群的统计特征(常德馥，1987；葛明达，1986；范顺庭，1998)。就波群本身的结构特征而言，即波群的波谱分析特征以往的研究涉及尚少。作者拟借助于谱分析方法，对带有典型波群的实测的海浪记录来分析海浪波群的波谱结构，进而借此对海浪波群的结构特征进行深入探讨。
