Late Quaternary evolution of the Çanakkale Strait region (Dardanelles, NW Turkey): implications of a major erosional event for the postglacial Mediterranean-Marmara Sea connection

Seismic and bathymetric data from the Çanakkale Strait and its extensions onto the shelves of the Marmara and Aegean seas indicate that the strait was formed mainly by an erosional event. Four seismic units are observed on seismic profiles. The lower two of these (units 4 and 3) constitute the basement of a regionally widespread erosional unconformity (ravinement), which developed during marine isotope stage 2 (MIS 2). The two upper units (units 2 and 1), which overlie the ravinement surface, form a higher-order sequence. Sequence stratigraphic analysis indicates that units 2 and 1 deposited as lowstand and highstand systems tracts respectively, since the end of MIS 2. The transgressive systems tract is represented by a major erosional event which occurred throughout the Çanakkale sill area when the Mediterranean-Marmara Sea connection and, hence, the Çanakkale Strait was formed. The existence of the erosive ?arköy Canyon along the shelf edge of the southern Marmara Sea demonstrates that the flow direction causing the erosion was from south to north, thus proving that it was produced by Mediterranean water flowing over the sill into the Marmara Sea basin.     

Particulate Amines in the Background Atmosphere of the Yangtze River Delta,China: Concentration,Size Distribution,and Sources

Amines are important for new particle formation and subsequent growth in the atmosphere. Consequently, the processes involved are receiving more attention in recent years. Here, we conduct a field observation in order to investigate the atmospheric particulate amines at a background site in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD) during the summer of 2018.Four amines in PM_(2.5), i.e., methylamine(MA), dimethylamine(DMA), diethylamine(DEA), and trimethylamine(TMA),were collected, twice daily and analyzed. During the campaign, our measurements found the concentrations of MA, DMA,DEA, and TMA of 15.0 ± 15.0, 6.3 ± 6.9, 20.4 ± 30.1, and 4.0 ± 5.9 ng m–3, respectively, and the four amines correlated well with each other. The concentration of amines appear to be independent of whether they were collected during the day or night. Both MA and DMA exhibited a bimodal size distribution that had peaks at 0.67 and 1.1 μm, suggesting amines preferably distribute on submicron particles. Boundary layer height(BLH), relative humidity, and pH of aerosols were found have a negative relationship with amines, while aerosol liquid water content(ALWC) was found to have a positive relationship with amines. The PMF(positive matrix factorization) source apportionment results showed that the main source of amines in Chongming Island was of anthropogenic origin such as industrial and biomass emission, followed by marine sources including sea salt and marine biogenic sources. Given that the YRD region is still suffering from complex atmospheric pollution and that the knowledge on aerosol amines is still limited, more field studies are in urgent need for a better understanding of the pollution characteristics of amines.     

山东省区域性暴雨事件时空变化特征及个例分析——以台风“利奇马”暴雨过程为例

利用山东省123个国家地面气象观测站1961—2019年逐日、逐小时降水量资料,在定义区域性暴雨事件的基础上,选取最大过程降水量、最大日降水量、最大1 h降水量、暴雨站数和过程持续时间作为评估指标,构建山东省区域暴雨事件和单站暴雨事件综合强度评估模型。针对判别出的545次区域暴雨事件,进行时空特征分析。结果表明,山东省区域暴雨事件发生次数呈现波动变化、缓慢下降趋势,但平均综合强度呈现缓慢上升趋势,且2011年以来上升趋势显著。区域暴雨事件集中发生于7、8月,其中以7月发生次数最多,8月平均综合强度最高。降雨中心主要分布于半岛东部和鲁南地区,不同时段分布配置略有不同,但差别不大。历史回算结果与灾情记录一致性较高,以台风"利奇马"暴雨过程为例,通过分县灾情验证表明暴雨事件综合评估模型评估结果较为合理,尤其对历史重大暴雨事件吻合效果理想。     

昆山市暴雨短历时设计雨型的推求

基于2008—2016年昆山市自动气象站逐分钟降水观测数据,分别利用芝加哥雨型法和PilgrimCordery雨型法,推求昆山市不同生态系统在不同重现期下60 min和120 min短历时设计暴雨雨型,并对比分析两种雨型推求方法的结果以及不同生态系统的雨型计算结果。结果表明:推求昆山市60 min历时设计暴雨雨型分布时,芝加哥雨型法和PilgrimCordery雨型法的结果基本一致,为单峰型雨型,雨峰位置位于中间偏前;推求120 min历时设计暴雨雨型分布时,芝加哥雨型法结果为单峰型,PilgrimCordery雨型法为多峰型,但两种方法求得的雨峰位置都位于中间偏前。在历时60 min和120 min时,芝加哥雨型法计算出的平均最大分段降水量显著大于PilgrimCordery法和实际雨样的结果,PilgrimCordery法的结果略小于实际雨样。昆山市不同地区的降水会受到生态系统类型的影响,以农田生态系统的影响最为明显,两种雨型推求方法的结果均表示,农田生态系统的最大分段降水量是5种生态系统中最大的。     

海洋纳米塑料污染现状及其对双壳类的生态毒理效应

随着纳米塑料在海洋中的分布越来越广泛,纳米塑料逐渐演变成目前海洋生态系统中面临的严重环境问题之一,引起人们的广泛关注。纳米塑料比微塑料粒径更小,具有更大的比表面积与吸附力,成为海洋中污染物的重要载体之一,影响深远。双壳类具有滤食特殊摄食方式,可通过食物链影响其他营养级生物,是食物链中重要一环。本文主要就纳米塑料的定义与来源、在海洋中的污染现状、对海洋双壳类的生态毒理效应进行阐述。纳米塑料可以通过海洋生物呼吸和进食过程中摄入体内,在吞噬细胞中诱导氧化应激、线粒体损伤和细胞毒性并产生严重的炎症反应。研究表明,在有其他污染物的存在下,纳米塑料的存在,会增加污染物在海洋生物体内的留滞时间,从而加大其毒性。纳米塑料可以通过食物网对海洋生态系统构成威胁。     

昆山城市热岛效应特征及其关键影响因子研究北大核心

昆山地处长三角超大城市群中,在热岛效应上受到了上海、苏州等大、中城市的显著影响。利用2014—2017年昆山气象站网逐小时观测资料分析昆山城市热岛强度时空分布特征的基础上,结合归一化建筑指数(Normalized Difference Built-up Index,NDBI),揭示了城市功能分区和城市扩张对该市热岛强度的影响,并通过一套用于城市气候研究的系统的场地分类方法—局地气候分区体系(Local Climate Zones,LCZ),探讨了不同城市用地的热岛强度特征。研究发现:昆山市热岛强度总体呈现夜间强、白天弱的特征。季节变化上表现为秋季最强,冬季次之,春季和夏季较弱;昆山市城市热岛强度处于逐年增长的过程,各镇中平均年际热岛强度增长率最高可达0.19℃·a^(-1)。高热岛强度范围由东南向西北延伸,湖陆风效应对昼夜热岛强度的分布及其变化有一定的影响,由于水体的作用,昆山市NDBI与夜间热岛强度的相关性较差,而与白天的热岛强度呈高度正相关。各镇不同的功能分区对热岛效应有显著影响,且当各镇的平均NDBI每增加0.1时,白天平均热岛强度会增加0.16℃;不同LCZ类型的热岛强度具有显著的差异,且地块城市化程度越高,热岛效应越强。密集低层建筑区(LCZ 3)和工业厂房(LCZ 10)的热岛强度与人类活动密切相关;开阔低层建筑区(LCZ 6)与茂密树木区(LCZ A)热岛强度表现出相似的变化特征;森林绿地(LCZ A、LCZ B)对热岛效应有缓解作用;水体(LCZ G)在白天有一定的降温效果,在夜间则会加剧热岛效应。
