Similarities of Some Wind Input and Dissipation Source Terms

Wind input parameterizations proposed by Jeffreys, Sverdrup and Munk, and Plant are analyzed. It is round by analogy that the similarity of integrals of the three wind input parameterizations exists. Wave breaking dissipation parmneterizations proposed by Tsikunov, Hasselmann, and Phillips are also analyzed. Likewise it is found by analogy that the similarity of integrals of the three dissipation parameterizations exists. The similarities of wind input and dissipation are applied to the investigation of the fetch-limited growth of wind waves, together with the 3/2 power law presented by Toba. Some semi-empirical formulas concerning the growth of wave height and period with fetch are presented. The results from the formulas are in good agreement with previous field observations.     

A coupled ice-ocean model for the Bohai Sea I. Study on model and parameter

1 IntroductionAs an important compartment of global cli-mate system, the development and variation ofsea ice directly affect the global atmosphere andocean environment, especially the deep watersformation and circulation. Therefore, it be-comes one of the keys of the global climatestudy to explore the coupling physical processof sea ice to atmosphere and ocean in the cli-mate system and to set up the global coupledairiceocean system.

Statistics of breaking waves and its applications to estimation of air-sea fluxes (Ⅰ)——Theoretical models

Wave breaking statistics, such as the whitecap coverage and average volume of broken seawater, are evaluated in terms of wave parameters by use of wave breaking model (Yuan et al., 1988) taking the fifth order Stokes's wave as the analog of the original wave field. Based on the observed fact that breaking waves play an important role in the exchange of mass, momentum and energy between the atmosphere and the ocean, the influence of wave breaking on air-sea fluxes of heat and moisture is investigated. Theoretical expressions of bubble-volume flux and sea spray spectrum at the sea surface and models for bubble-induced and spray droplet-induced heat and moisture fluxes are established. This work can be taken as the basis for further understanding the mechanism of air-sea coupling and parameterization models.

Effects of salinity, light and temperature on growth rates of two species of Gracilaria (Rhodophyta)

Effects of temperature, salinity and light intensity on growth rates of Gracilaria lichenoides and G tenuistipitata var. liui Zhang et Xia were tested. Eight to ten levels of each factor were first tested separately. The best growth rate was obtained under the conditions of 32～C, 30 and 240 μmol/(m2·s) for G. lichenoides, and 24℃, 20 and 200 μmol/(m2.s) for G. tenuistipitata, respectively. Then a uniform design was used to evaluate the optimal combinations of the three factors. The best conditions for the highest daily specific growth rates (% increase in wet weight) are determined to be 31.30℃, 32.10, and 287.23 μmol/(m2·s) for G. lichenoides (16.26%/d), and 25.38℃, 21.10, and 229.07 μmol/(m2·s) for G. tenuistipitata (14.83%/d), respectively.     

Phytoplankton pigment patterns and community composition in the northern South China Sea during winter

Phytoplankton pigment patterns and community composition were investigated in the northern South China Sea using high-performance liquid chromatography and the CHEMTAX software from February 11 to 23, 2009. We recognized four different vertical distribution patterns of pigments: chlorophyll a (Chl a)-like type, divinyl chlorophyll a (DV Chl a) type, even distribution type, and surface type. The average value of ratios of accessory photo-protective pigments (APP) to accessory photo-synthetic pigments was 0.8...     

德国4站点极端降水频数和强度趋势变化分析

根据不莱梅、波茨坦、卡尔斯鲁厄和楚格峰1901—2007年逐日降水量分析了各站极端降水的频数和强度趋势变化。结果表明:山区(楚格峰)出现的极端降水数量呈上升趋势,且强度显著增强,在冬、夏2季亦如此。这与全球变暖背景下,山区的积雪融化导致对流活动增强以及大气环流影响水汽输送增强有关;在超过绝对阈值的极端降水方面,北方地区(不莱梅和波茨坦)发生频数保持稳定,无显著趋势变化,南方地区(卡尔斯鲁厄)有显著减少的趋势,且不莱梅的频数变化趋势与波茨坦相似,具有强正相关,而此2站与卡尔斯鲁厄的频数变化趋势呈反位相,有较强的负相关;除楚格峰外,极端降水强度变化无显著趋势。低海拔地区在冬季极端降水的频数和强度上,大部分有显著上升的趋势,而夏季,在2方面均出现不同程度的下降;极端降水频数和强度呈强正相关。     

北赤道流区海温异常与ENSO循环

应用热带太平洋上层XBT温度资料，分析探讨了西太平洋暖池区次表层海温冷暖异常信号的变化规律，揭示了影响西太平洋暖池区次表层海温冷暖异常信号的机制。分析表明，西太平洋暖池区的次表层海温异常冷暖与太平洋北赤道流的海温冷暖异常信号西传有重要关系。北赤道流的海温异常冷(暖)信号是沿温跃层由赤道中东太平洋潜沉向西太平洋暖池区传播，对暖池区域次表层海温场产生重要影响。这一传播过程与西太平洋次表层海温异常暖(冷)信号向赤道中东太平洋传播，构成了热带海洋信号的气旋式“信号通道”。在这一“信号通道”中，北赤道流的海温异常信号西传是导致西太平洋暖池区及西太平洋次表层海温异常的重要机制，是影响El Nifio和La Nifia事件发生的关键。     

Feedback and Feedforward Optimal Control for Offshore Jacket Platforms

The optimal control is investigated for linear systems affected by external harmonic disturbance and applied to vibration control systems of offshore steel jacket platforms. The wave-induced force is the dominant load that offshore structures are subjected to, and it can be taken as harmonic excitation for the system. The iineafized Morison equation is employed to estimate the wave loading. The main result concerns the existence and design of a realizable optimal regulator, which is proposed to damp the forced oscillation in an optimal fashion. For demonstration of the effectiveness of the control scheme, the platform performance is investigated for different wave states. The simulations axe based on the tuned mass damper (TMD) and the active mass damper (AMD) control devices. It is demonstrated that the control scheme is useful in reducing the displacement response of jacket-type offshore platforms.
