厦门至珠江口间沿岸海域中华白海豚分布的调查研究

厦门海域和珠江口海域是中华白海豚(Sousa chinensis)的2个重要分布区,但对这两地之间沿海白海豚的分布情况还缺乏了解.通过走访厦门至珠江口之间12个渔港码头或渔村的渔民,共获得有效问卷168份,探讨了厦门至珠江口之间沿海历史上和当今中华白海豚的分布情况.结果显示:年龄越大,渔民见过白海豚的比例越高;历史上(20～30a前),东山、汕头、甲子、汕尾和马宫等地沿海曾有较大的中华白海豚种群分布;如今,在东山湾和汕头海域还有中华白海豚的出没.通过进一步的截线抽样法调查,证实了汕头海域还有白海豚的分布,东山湾还有渔民观察到白海豚,但尚待进一步的证实.

基于GIS的耕地改良利用分区研究——以山东章丘市为例

以山东章丘市为研究区,运用GIS技术,在确定耕地改良利用分区因子和标准的前提下,对区域内全部耕地状况及其障碍因素进行定量分析,划分耕地改良利用类型区.按照因地制宜、因土适用的原则,提出相应的改良利用措施,旨在摸清研究区域耕地改良利用因素的现状水平及制约耕地利用的障碍性因素,进一步提高其高产田的生产能力,挖掘中低产田的生产潜力,探索耕地改良利用的新思路和新方法,为其它区域耕地资源的科学管理和可持续利用提供指导和借鉴作用.     

正点地面观测数据维护方法

按照中国气象局2012年地面气象观测业务改革要求,陕西省100个地面观测站从4月1日起进行业务调整,基准站和基本站调整观测任务,所有国家级气象台站取消了天气报（加密天气报）,采用观测资料实时数据文件（简称“长Z文件”）方式上传观测数据。地面测报业务软件由以前的3．0．22升级到V4．0．1版,此软件是在原软件的基础上,修改了部分功能,其中变动最大的是在“数据维护”菜单下增加了“正点地面观测数据维护”功能。做好正点数据维护,是确保台站提高长Z文件数据可用性的重要途径。     

坝后淤积条件下泥石流冲击拦挡坝动力响应研究

拦挡坝有效库容和泥石流冲击力是泥石流实体拦挡坝设计的重要指标,现有实体拦挡坝在泥石流反复冲击作用下淤积甚至填满,会对坝体调控能力产生重要影响.为此,基于理论分析和物理模型试验,开展坝后淤积条件下泥石流冲击实体拦挡坝动力响应研究,推导坝后淤积条件下泥石流速度衰减率、坝体拦挡率的无量纲计算公式,并建立考虑空间分布特性的坝后淤积条件下泥石流冲击力计算模型.结果表明：泥石流速度衰减率和坝体拦挡率与淤积体高度/淤积长度比值和泥石流相对容重呈正相关;泥石流冲击力静动荷载组合计算模型能较好反映坝后淤积条件下泥石流冲击力的组成和分布特征.上述研究可为泥石流实体拦挡坝工程设计提供理论及技术支持.     

中尺度涡影响下的南海西部活性铝分布

To understand the distribution of aluminum(Al) under the influence of mesocale eddies in the western South China Sea(SCS), sea level anomaly, geostrophic current, environmental parameters and reactive Al were investigated in the western SCS in August 2013. The highest reactive Al concentration((180±64) nmol/L) was observed in the surface waters, indicating a substantial atmospheric input. Vertically, the reactive Al decreased from the surface high concentration to the subsurface minima at the depth of chlorophyll a(Chl a) maxima and then increased again with depth at most of the stations. The average concentration of reactive Al in the upper 100 m water column was significantly lower in the cyclonic eddy((137±6) nmol/L) as compared with that in the noneddy waters((180±21) nmol/L). By contrast, the average concentrations of Chl a and silicate in the upper 100 m water column were higher in the cyclonic eddy and lower in the anticyclonic eddy. There was a significant negative correlation between the average concentrations of reactive Al and Chl a in the upper 100 m water column. The vertical distribution of reactive Al and the negative correlation between reactive Al and Chl a both suggest that the reactive Al in the upper water column was significantly influenced by biological removal processes. Our results indicate that mesoscale eddies could regulate the distribution of reactive Al by influencing the primary production and phytoplankton community structure in the western SCS.     

碎屑流冲击下的桥墩动力响应特征分析

碎屑流以其高动能和强大的破坏力被视为我国西南片区最危险的地质灾害之一,它不仅对人民群众的生命财产造成极大的危害,并且威胁到桥梁、铁路等国家的基础设施建设。本文就碎屑流冲击条件下的桥墩为研究对象,以两种不同形状的桥墩(圆柱桥墩、矩形桥墩)以及桥墩离碎屑流的物源区距离为研究条件,以离散元方法为研究手段,着重研究了碎屑流冲击桥墩时候的动力响应情况。结果表明:在相同规模以及相同距离的碎屑流条件下,圆柱形桥墩所受的瞬时冲击力的法向应力要小于矩形桥墩,切向应力则大于矩形桥墩,其所受最大冲击力以及平均冲击力都小于矩形桥墩,并且给出了物源区距离对桥墩所受冲击力的影响。研究结果对实际防灾工程有一定的指导意义。     

Trace metal anomalies in bleached <Emphasis Type="Italic">Porites</Emphasis> coral at Meiji Reef,tropical South China Sea

Coral bleaching has generally been recognized as the main reason for tropical coral reef degradation, but there are few long-term records of coral bleaching events. In this study, trace metals including chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), and yttrium (Y), were analyzed in two Porites corals collected from Meiji Reef in the tropical South China Sea (SCS) to assess differences in trace metal concentrations in bleached compared with unbleached coral growth bands. Ti, V, Cr, and Mo generally showed irregular fluctuations in both corals. Bleached layers contained high concentrations of Mn, Cu, Sn, and Pb. Unbleached layers showed moderately high concentrations of Mn and Cu only. The different distribution of trace metals in Porites may be attributable to different selectivity on the basis of vital utility or toxicity. Ti, V, Cr, and Mo are discriminated against by both coral polyps and zooxanthellae, but Mn, Cu, Sn, and Pb are accumulated by zooxanthellae and only Mn and Cu are accumulated by polyps as essential elements. The marked increase in Cu, Mn, Pb, and Sn are associated with bleaching processes, including mucus secretion, tissue retraction, and zooxanthellae expulsion and occlusion. Variation in these trace elements within the coral skeleton can be used as potential tracers of short-lived bleaching events.
