Sub-seasonal variability of Luzon Strait Transport in a high resolution global model

The Luzon Strait is the main impact pathway of the Kuroshio on the circulation in South China Sea (SCS). Based on the analysis of the 1997–2007 altimeter data and 2005–2006 output data from a high resolution global HYCOM model, the total Luzon Strait Transport (LST) has remarkable subseasonal oscillations with a typical period of 90 to 120 days, and an average value of 1.9 Sv into SCS. Further spectrum analysis shows that the temporal variability of the LST at different depth is remarkable different. In the upper layer (0–300 m), westward inflow has significant seasonal and subseasonal variability. In the bottom layer (below 1 200 m), eastward outflow exhibits remarkable seasonal variability, while subseasonal variability is also clear. In the intermediate layer, the westward inflow is slightly bigger than the eastward outflow, and both of them have obvious seasonal and subseasonal variability. Because the seasonal variation of westward inflow and eastward outflow is opposite, the total transport of intermediate layer exhibits significant 50–150 days variation, without obvious seasonal signals. The westward Rossby waves with a period of 90 to 120 days in the Western Pacific have very clear correlationship with the Luzon Strait Transport, this indicates that the interaction between these westward Rossby waves and Kuroshio might be the possible mechanism of the subseasonal variation of the LST.     

Development and characterization of a cell line from the embryos of half smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis)

A new cell line,CSEC,has been successfully established from embryos at gastrula stage of a cultured marine fish,half smooth tongue sole(Cynoglossus semilaevis).CSEC cells grow actively and stably more than 50 passages for over 200 d in DMEM medium supplemented with 15% FBS(fetal bovine serum),2.5 ng/cm 3 bFGF(basic fibroblast growth factor),1 ng/cm 3 LIF(leukemia inhibitory factor) and 50 mmol/dm 3 2-ME(2-mecaptoethanol).The cells grew well in the temperature range of 24-30 ℃ and the optimal growth temperature was 24℃.FBS and bFGF concentrations are the two key components for CSEC cells proliferation.Chromosome analysis reveals that CSEC cells have a normal diploid karyotype with 2n=42t.The significant fluorescent signals were observed in CSEC after transfection with the GFP reporter gene,suggesting that the CSEC cell line can be used as a useful tool for transgenic and genetic manipulation studies.CSEC cells showed the cytopathic effect(CPE) after infection with lymphosystis disease virus(LCDV) in 2 d.Moreover,the LCDV particles can be observed in the cytoplasm of virus-infected cells by electron microscopy.It suggests that CSEC could be potentially used for the study of aquatic virus.     

Dominant climate factors influencing the Arctic runoff and association between the Arctic runoff and sea ice

By using the Arctic runoff data from R-ArcticNET V4.0 and ArcticRIMS, trends of four major rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean, whose climate factor plays an important role in determining the variability of the Arctic runoff, are investigated. The results show that for the past 30 years, the trend of the Arctic runoff is seasonally dependent. There is a significant trend in spring and winter and a significant decreasing trend in summer, leading to the reduced seasonal cycle. In spring, surface air temperature is the dominant factor influencing the four rivers. In summer, precipitation is the most important factor for Lena and Mackenzie, while snow cover is the most important factor for Yenisei and Ob. For Mackenzie, atmospheric circulation does play an important role for all the seasons, which is not the case for the Eurasian rivers. The authors further discuss the relationships between the Arctic runoff and sea ice. Significant negative correlation is found at the mouth of the rivers into the Arctic Ocean in spring, while significant positive correlation is observed just at the north of the mouths of the rivers into the Arctic in summer. In addition, each river has different relationship with sea ice in the eastern Greenland Sea.     

江苏沿海地区海洋渔业发展差异与对策

江苏是海洋大省,但并非海洋强省,2005年海洋渔业在全国处于第6位,为浙江和山东的1/3和1/5。江苏具有发展海洋渔业的有利条件,丰富的水产资源和滩涂资源适合发展海洋渔业,发达的地区经济为渔业发展提供了技术支撑。从省内区域差异来看,渔业过分集中于如东、启东等少数县市,多数县市产业优势未能充分发挥。应该大力发展海水增养业、加强养殖区域生态环境保护,积极发展相关海洋产业。     

南海赤潮的时空分布特征及其与南海环境关系的综合分析

利用历史数据和卫星观测,系统分析20多年来(1980年-2003年)在南海海域发生的赤潮事件与环境特征,详细比较赤潮在南海四大区域(北部、东部、南部和西部海区)的区域分布、多发藻种和季节变化等特征。研究结果表明南海海域赤潮发生具有以下特点:(1)区域性:赤潮多发区域集中在珠江口附近(中国),马尼拉湾和马辛洛克湾(菲律宾)和沙巴州的西海岸(马来西亚);(2)季节性:在北部海区,赤潮的发生时间主要集中在3-5月份,东部海区在5-7月份,西部海区在7月份,而南部海区在全年都会发生;(3)藻种差异性:主要赤潮藻种在北部海区是夜光藻(Noctiluca scintillans),东部海区和南部海区是扁甲藻(Pyrodinium bahamense);(4)年际变化:不同海域赤潮的多发年份不同,对于整个南海而言,1991-1998年是赤潮的多发年。赤潮发生受到环境条件的影响,如季风、河流的排放、上升流、以及沿岸海域水体富营养化。

研究了青蛤肝胰腺、鳃瓣、斧足、外套膜组织中过氧化物酶(POD)组织差异以及温度骤升和窒息胁迫对青蛤POD酶活的影响。结果表明:水温16℃和温度骤升至32℃环境下青蛤POD酶活性均存在不同程度的组织差异性,且以肝胰腺中的POD活性最高,而斧足最低。水温16℃环境下青蛤的肝胰腺、斧足、外套膜和鳃瓣这4个组织之间的POD酶活力除外套膜和鳃瓣无显著差异外,其余均存在明显的组织差异(P0.05),其中肝胰腺的POD酶活最高1.68±0.08U-mg-1,其次为鳃瓣、外套膜,而斧足中的POD活力最低0.19±0.02U-mg-1。同时温度骤升胁迫对青蛤的POD也有显著的影响,在瞬时32℃高温下5h时肝胰腺的POD酶活达到最大值3.85±0.06U-mg-1,11h时出现第二峰值3.47±0.22U-mg-1,15h后POD值达到处理前水平并逐渐趋于稳定;在窒息环境胁迫下肝胰腺的POD酶活在15h内变化无显著变化,与对照组水平接近,15h-17h酶活显著升高,17h达到最大值2.98±0.54U-mg-1,之后又恢复到对照组水平。

本文选取了东海的两个典型断面和137°E断面的历史数据,对它们的温盐变化进行了相关分析。发现东海断面温度对137°E断面低纬区域次表层的温度变化信号有大约两年的滞后响应;黑潮弯曲造成的深层温盐异常变化对东海两个断面的影响不大,但表层温盐变化有很强的正相关。     

强热带风暴“莲花”(0903)非对称降水结构分析

利用雷达回波和NCEP分析资料,本文从水汽条件、环境风垂直切变和风暴移动状态等方面诊断分析了0903号强热带风暴"莲花"非对称降水结构形成的可能机制。结果表明:"莲花"南侧充足的水汽输送为强降水的发生提供了基本的水汽条件,同时水汽通量在水平空间上的非对称分布也在一定程度上导致了降水的非对称分布。环境风垂直切变是导致"莲花"降水结构改变并最终形成一波非对称降水结构的主要动力因子。随着垂直切变的增强,同时配合风暴南侧充足的水汽条件,一波非对称降水结构逐渐形成,在较强垂直切变长时间的作用下,强降水最终集中于顺切变方向左侧。在较强垂直切变的作用下,逆切变一侧的下沉运动抑制了陆地摩擦和地形抬升所形成的对流的发展。相对于较强的垂直切变而言,"莲花"相对稳定的移速和移向条件难以主导强热带风暴降水的空间分布。
