Pacific decadal oscillation and European climatic anomalies

By using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data sets for 1951–2001, we study the characteristics of Pacific cyclones. It is shown that the northeast-southwest direction is predominant in the displacements of cyclones in the North Pacific. We study the variability of the field of surface atmospheric pressure in different phases of the Pacific decadal oscillation characterizing the temperature anomalies on the surface of the ocean in the region bounded by 20 and 60°N. It is shown that the decadal variations of the North Atlantic Oscillation supported by the large-scale anomalies of the Pacific decadal oscillation is the most important cause of natural decadal oscillations in the European region. We study and evaluate the regional response to the Pacific decadal oscillation by using, as an example, the analysis of variations of the discharge of European rivers. __________ Translated from Morskoi Gidrofizicheskii Zhurnal, No. 4, pp. 13–23, July–August, 2007.     

Statistical analysis of a global photochemical model of the atmosphere

This is a study of the sensitivity of model results (atmospheric content of main gas constituents and radiative characteristics of the atmosphere) to errors in emissions of a number of atmospheric gaseous pollutants. Groups of the model variables most dependent on these errors are selected. Two variants of emissions are considered: one without their evolution and the other with their variation according to the IPCC scenario. The estimates are made on the basis of standard statistical methods for the results obtained with the detailed onedimensional radiative—photochemical model of the Main Geophysical Observatory (MGO). Some approaches to such estimations with models of higher complexity and to the solution of the inverse problem (i.e., the estimation of the necessary accuracy of external model parameters for obtaining the given accuracy of model results) are outlined.     

三沙湾潮滩涨落潮和大小潮冲淤特征及其动力机制

潮滩不同尺度的变化规律一直是地表过程研究的核心之一。利用声学多普勒流速仪（ADV）、温盐深（CTD）、光学后向散射浊度计（OBS）对三沙湾潮滩涨落潮和大小潮冲淤及动力变化进行了高精度的观测。结果发现,潮周期内,潮滩冲淤呈现涨潮初期冲刷-落潮末期淤积-中间时段稳定的特征,涨潮初期水深<1 m 的30 min内平均冲刷4.05 mm,落潮末期水深<1 m 的30 min内平均淤积3.72 mm,中间时段动态稳定;大小潮周期内,呈现中潮到小潮平均淤积3.4 mm,小潮到大潮平均冲刷8.2 mm的特征。通过流速、紊动能、水深、悬沙浓度等因子与冲淤的相关性分析发现,潮周期内,流速和紊动能的增减决定涨潮初期冲刷和落潮末期淤积的变化;大小潮周期内,涨潮冲刷大于落潮淤积的特性决定了大潮到小潮阶段的冲刷, 涨潮冲刷小于落潮淤积决定了小潮到大潮阶段的淤积。涨落潮周期和大小潮潮周期的冲淤机制为潮滩动力地貌和动力沉积学研究提供了一定的参考。     

九龙江流域水葫芦打捞去除水体营养盐模型研究

水葫芦被收获时,水体中的营养盐也将包含在植物组织中而被去除.本研究首先通过野外实验和参考国内外有关文献,建立了九龙江流域水葫芦生长数学模型和持续生产模型,确定了模型的各有关参数:水葫芦生长容量K值为25.6 kg/m2、最大生长速率rmax为0.12d-1;水体中氮和磷的半饱和系数hN和hP值分别为0.2和0.03;水葫芦最低生长温度(mθin)为7℃,最适水温(oθpt)为30℃,最高生长温度(θmax)为40℃.随后采用所建立的模型计算了研究区水葫芦打捞的营养盐去除效果,研究区面积6 000m2的水体实施水葫芦打捞策略后,1a所能收获的水葫芦最大产量为9.18×105kg,去除的TP为214.4kg,TN为966.6kg.

重金属Cu、Pb对泥鳅(Misgurnus anguillicaudatus)卵细胞凋亡及DNA损伤的SCGE试验

采用室内暴露试验方法,以单细胞凝胶电泳技术(SCGE)检测,研究了Cu、Pb不同浓度梯度与不同暴露时间联合染毒对泥鳅卵细胞DNA的损伤.结果表明,各Cu、Pb浓度组DNA平均迁移长度增加,与阴性对照组比较差异有显著性(P＜0.05).此外,随着Cu、Pb染毒剂量的增加,各试验组DNA的平均迁移长度逐渐增加,在试验浓度梯度范围内(Cu 0.01mg/L+Pb 0.05mg/L、Cu 0.10mg/L+Pb 0.50mg/L、Cu 0.25mg/L+Pb 0.75mg/L),存在较为显著的剂量-效应关系(P＜0.05),但未见明显的时间-效应关系(P＞0.05).Cu、Pb可引起泥鳅卵细胞凋亡和DNA损伤,卵细胞的不同损伤水平可望作为较为理想的水环境基因毒性指标.     

石油烃和营养盐的复合污染对海洋浮游植物的影响Ⅰ. 石油烃对海洋浮游植物吸收营养盐的影响

通过向具有相同营养盐浓度的培养体系中添加不同浓度的石油烃,对中肋骨条藻、赤潮异弯藻、微小亚历山大藻和锥状斯氏藻进行周期性培养,探讨了石油烃对微藻营养盐吸收动力学的影响.结果发现,在开始30min内,微藻对营养盐均有一非耗能的短暂快吸收,随后吸收速率下降并趋于稳定.石油烃对中肋骨条藻和赤潮异弯藻氮、磷的吸收都表现抑制作用,浓度从0.13 mg/L到8.25mg/L的石油烃所呈现的抑制作用基本表现为先减弱后逐渐增强,8.25mg/L浓度的石油烃抑制作用最强.与中肋骨条藻和赤潮异弯藻实验结果不同的是,石油烃对微小亚历山大藻和锥状斯氏藻的氮、磷吸收在低浓度时呈现促进作用,且促进作用的程度随石油烃浓度的增加有先增强后减弱的趋势,在高浓度下促进作用会消失,8.25mg/L的石油烃不表现促进作用.石油烃对微藻营养盐吸收动力学的影响表现出复杂性,这既受石油烃浓度的影响,也与浮游植物的种类有重要关系.     

Fe3+胁迫对假微型海链藻中性脂累积及DGAT 表达的影响

二酰甘油酰基转移酶(DGAT)是脂类合成途径中的关键酶,其表达水平的高低影响着脂类含量的高低。微量元素Fe3+对于微藻的生长不可或缺,且影响着微藻中油脂的累积。本实验以假微型海链藻(Thalassiosira pseudonana)为研究对象,分析了铁限制(0.000 03mmol/L)和高铁胁迫(0.3 mmol/L)2种Fe3+胁迫条件下,不同种群生长期中性脂累积及二酰甘油酰基转移酶(DGAT)的基因表达受到的影响。结果显示:铁限制条件下,微藻种群生长及其中性脂的合成受到抑制,DGAT的表达量下降;高铁胁迫条件下,高浓度Fe3+可促进中性脂合成与DGAT的表达,但抑制微藻种群生长。因此,富铁条件下更利于总脂的收集。     

Heterotrophic microbial communities on the water-sediment boundary in the Kara Sea

The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the heterotrophic microbial communities (bacteria, flagellates, and ciliates) in the thin water-sediment layer in the Kara Sea are analyzed. The bacterial abundance correlated with the concentration of organic matter, whereas their size depended on the abundance of heterotrophic flagellates. The number of species of heterotrophic flagellates increased with the increase in the bacterial number. A positive relationship between the bacterial abundance and the ration of heterotrophic flagellates was observed at the offshore stations, probably due to the grazing pressure. The density of the ciliates on the soft silty and sandy-silty sediments was extremely low. The share of upstream filter feeding ciliate species increased with the increase in the abundance of the flagellates, probably due to the shift to less selective feeding strategies at higher values of the food concentrations. The classification of the heterotrophic microbial communities in the surface sediment layer has revealed two distinct types of the communities. The river communities are rich in species and are characterized by the high abundance of microorganisms. They are gradually replaced by marine communities at the salinity of 9%.
