Analytic Solution of Interaction Between Surface Waves and Floating Elastic Plates with Elastic End-Restraints

Based on the dynamic theories of water waves and Mindlin plates,the analytic solution of interaction between surface waves and two-dimensional floating elastic plates with edge-restraint is constructed by use of the Wiener-Hopf technique.Firstly,without regard for elastic edge restraint,the wave-induced responses of elastic floating plate analyzed by the present method are in good agreement with the results from literature and experimental results.Therefore,it can be shown that the present method is valid.Secondly,three end-restraint cases(i.e.,the left-end elastic restraints,the both-end elastic restraints,and the right-end elastic restraints)are proposed to reduce the vibration of floating plates,in which the spring is used to connect the sea bottom and the floating plate's left(or right)edge.The relations between the spring stiffness and the parameters of wave-induced responses of floating plates are discussed.Moreover,the effective method to reduce the vibration of floating elastic plates can be obtained through comparison.     

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.     

Elemental geochemical records of seafloor hydrothermal activities in the sediments from the Okinawa Trough

The major and minor element contents in the sediment core H9 from the hydrothermal fields of the Okinawa Trough show a sharp change at the depth of 80 cm. The elements enriched in the upper 80 cm core are those enriched in the hydrothermal deposits and in the surface sediments recovered from the hydrothermal fields in the trough, which indicates the input of hydrothermal materials. Comparing with other hydrothermal sediments from Mid-ocean Ridges or the Lau Basin, the degree of the enrichment of elements iron, copper,cobalt, and nickel is relatively low. However, the enrichment of elements manganese, lead, arsenic, antimony and mercury is remarkable. The average contents of these elements in the upper 80 cm core sediments are three to six times those in the lower section, and 3~12 times those in the surface sediments which are not influenced by hydrothermal activities. Hydrothermal activities have contributed significant manganese, lead, arsenic, antimony and mercury to the sediments, and these elements are distinct indicators for the hydrothermal activity in the Okinawa Trough. The significant enrichment of these elements in Core H9 upward from the depth 80 cm indicates the start or the significant enhancing of the hydrothermal activity in this area at about 5 740 aB.P. The average accumulation rate of manganese during this period is about 40 461 μg/(cm2·ka), which is similar to the hydrothermal sediments in the Lau Basin or the East Pacific Rise.

利用三维线性水弹性理论研究了箱式超大型浮体结构在正弦规则波中的动力响应，用Bernoulli-Euler梁解析解计算结构在真空中的动力特性，用弹性体三维势流理论计算结构的水动力系数，浮体结构在单位波幅规则波中的刚体运动幅值与DNV／WADAM程序的计算结果进行了比较，并给出了垂向弯曲模态的位移，弯矩随波浪频率的变化规律，由于箱式浮体结构的低阶固有频率很低，相应的弹性振型的响应与刚体运动耦合，结构在波浪中没有发现明显的低阶弹性模态谐振。

ENSO与热带西北太平洋海洋上层热含量及副热带高压变异的关系

本文使用谱分析法,分析了ENSO与热带西北太平洋海洋上层热含量和副热带高压的多年变化及其相互关系。文中以南方涛动指数(SOI)距平表征ENSO,以海面至100m水层的平均温度(Tav)代表上层热含量,以Tav>27℃网格数(HC)的季距平代表热含量的变化,以西太平洋副热带高压的面积指数(ST)表示其多年变化。分析结果表明,这三个时间序列的持续性良好,它们有相似的自振韵律和一个共同的谱峰,主要振荡周期均为3～4a。交叉谱分析表明,在这一振荡周期上,这些时间序列有较高的凝聚,且SOI和HC同相,而HC和ST反相变化,即SOI为负距平时,HC也为负距平,而ST为正距平,SOI先于HC两个月,而HC先于ST6个月左右。
