泉州湾河口湿地鸟类的种类组成与分布

本文根据1988-1999年进行4次泉州湾河口湿地鸟类调查资料，研究了泉州湾河口湿地自然概况，首次报道了该区鸟类13目30科108种，指出泉州湾河口地区鸟类栖息地面临的威胁因素，建议建立泉州湾河口湿地保护区以保护该区的自然生态系统和鸟类资源。     

新世纪大洋钻探"三角鼎立"中的欧洲联合体

欧洲为了与美国、日本在IODP中处于同等重要的地位，成立了由ODP成员参加的欧洲大洋钻探科学指导委员会（ESCOD）和JEODI组织，并开展了IODP之前的一系列准备活动。在其中的APLACON会议上，论证了IODP中第三类特定钻探平台的必要性，讨论了该类平台在某些研究范围内的重要作用，包括研究地球历史中的极端气候（北极海区）、重建白垩纪－第三纪的水文地理学、气候的快速变化、沉积盆地形成与过程以及固体地球过程等。     

一次模拟的非外力大洋—大气突发气候事件

格陵兰东南部和相邻大洋表层气温时序中记录了一个急剧的事件。这一事件大约出现在３１００ａ（模拟年） ,持续约４０ａ ,以温度降低３°Ｃ为特征。由于其峰值比平均值高６个标准偏差（σ）以上 ,可以认为降温是急剧的。如果该区域年平均表层气温时序正常排布 ,那么这种异常可能每数亿年出现一次，如此大幅度降温持续那么久的概率极小。如果将不足４０ａ的变化从时序中去掉 ,那么事件高峰期表层气温低于平均值１０～１１σ。大气层较低层位的这种急剧降温源于海面温度急剧下降。大约３０８６ａ开始 ,格陵兰东海岸中部滨外发育了约０．５°Ｃ…     

北极海冰减少的气候效应研究

本文采用了OSU两层大气环流模式对特定的北极海冰进行数值模拟,研究北极海冰减少的气候效应.试验中海温一律取为气候平均值,北极海冰作为外强迫源影响大气,大气响应完全是环流内部调整的结果.本文对北极海冰减少后的大气环流特征进行了分析,特别是与中国的气温和降水之间的关系.     

生产率的测定

冰芯记录表明，在过去的冰期期间大气二氧化碳的浓度减小了．为什么会这样?在极地大洋生长的浮游生物是主要怀疑对象，因为CO2通过光合作用被吸收，而在有机物沉到洋底时停止了循环．对于气候来说，非常需要对浮游生物生产率进行一次很好的测定．     

潮汐对瞬态气候响应模拟的影响研究

In this study, the impact of oceanic processes on the sensitivity of transient climate change is investigated using two sets of coupled experiments with and without tidal forcing, which are termed Exp_Tide and Exp_Control,respectively. After introducing tidal forcing, the transient climate response(TCR) decreases from 2.32 K to 1.90 K,and the surface air temperature warming at high latitudes decreases by 29%. Large ocean heat uptake efficiency and heat storage can explain the low TCR in Exp_Tide. Approximately 21% more heat is stored in the ocean in Exp_Tide(1.10×10~(24) J) than in Exp_Control(0.91×10~(24) J). Most of the large ocean warming occurs in the upper 1 000 m between 60°S and 60°N, primarily in the Atlantic and Southern Oceans. This ocean warming is closely related to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation(AMOC). The initial transport at mid-and high latitudes and the decline in the AMOC observed in Exp_Tide are both larger than those observed in Exp_Control. The spatial structures of AMOC are also different with and without tidal forcing in present experiments. The AMOC in Exp_Tide has a large northward extension. We also investigated the relationship between AMOC and TCR suggested by previous studies using the present experiments.     

Mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea and their impact on temperature profiles

Some life history statistics of the mesoscale eddies of the South China Sea (SCS) derived from altimetry data will be further discussed according their different formation periods.A total of three ATLAS (autonomous temperature line acquisition system)mooring buoys data will be analyzed to discuss eddies‘ impact on temperature profiles.They identify that the intraseasonal variation of SCS thermocline is partly controlled by mesoscale eddies.
