水位改正中的基准面空间内插及其误差约束

分析了水位改正中隐含的基准面空间内插形式,理论推导了基准面空间内插的数学描述,表明水位改正中隐含的基准面空间内插方式与潮汐比较参数的内插方式相一致,基准面空间内插误差为基准面相对平均海面的垂直差距的空间内插误差。仿真实验对此进行了验证。现阶段减弱与控制该误差的最可行手段是,由L值模型仿真不同验潮站空间配置下基准面空间内插误差的空间分布,为验潮站布设设计提供先验信息。而未来建立以平均海面为基本海洋垂直基准的综合海洋垂直基准框架是最有效手段。海洋测量水深数据的处理和计算机存储都应保留以平均海面为基准面的成果,通过垂直基准转换方式可满足多用途需求。     

Rare earth element fingerprints in Korean coastal bay sediments: Association with provenance discrimination

Rare earth elements (REEs: La-Lu) in surface sediments collected from the mouth and middle tidal flats of Gomso Bay, South Korea, in August 2011 and May 2012 were analyzed to investigate the fine-grained sediment provenance. The upper continental crust (UCC)-normalized light REEs (LREEs: La to Nd) were more enriched than the middle REEs (MREEs: Sm to Dy) and heavy REEs (HREEs: Ho to Lu), resulting in large (La/Yb)_UCC (1.9 ± 0.4) to (Gd/Yb)_UCC (1.4 ± 0.2) ratios. The monthly (La/Yb)_UCC values differed between the mouth and middle tidal flats due to deposition of fine-grained sediments that originated from distant rivers (the Geum and Yeongsan) and the Jujin Stream, located on the southern shore of the inner bay. We observed relative reductions in the (La/Yb)_UCC value and REE content in the sediments from the mouth of the bay compared with those from Jujin Stream sediments. Confined to the middle tidal flat around the KH Line of Jujin Stream, the sediments, most enriched in LREEs but depleted in Eu, were distributed in August as strong Jujin Stream runs. Here, we suggest that an increase in LREE/HREE and decrease in MREE/LREE ratios can be used as a proxy to identify the Jujin Stream provenance in mixed riverine sediments and to trace Jujin Stream sediments within the Gomso Bay tidal flat, especially in the summer rainy season.
