Variations of particulate proteins and dissolved amino acids in coastal seawater

The relationships existing between the protein-containing fraction of particulate matter and amino acids dissolved in seawater were studied in the Gulf of Marseille at different periods of the year. The concentration of particulate proteins was almost zero in February and attained maximum values during April and May, the average concentrations of dissolved amino acids (total) varied between 900 and 1200 nmole l^?1 but larger variations were encountered at the surface and in the vicinity of the sediment. The influence of meteorological conditions and the effect of the sediment on the distribution of nitrogenous substances were taken into account. Combined dissolved amino acids were more abundant than free dissolved amino acids in 90% of the cases. The concentrations of dissolved amino acids observed in a zone bordering the North Mediterranean are comparable to those found in other regions of the world.     

POM模式在河口湾污染物质输运过程模拟中的应用

具有复杂地形的河口湾,由于冲淡水的影响,湾内的流动具有很强的三维结构.因此要再现河口湾各种过程,必须进行三维数值模拟.在实际应用中,选用水平上采用正交曲线性网格和垂向上采用σ坐标的POM模式作为水动力模式比较合适.本研究在POM模式的基础上添加了示踪粒子三维Lagrange运动轨迹计算及水质模块,用以研究榆林湾水交换能力和污染物质输运过程.

Behaviour of the optical properties of coloured dissolved organic matter under conservative mixing

The optical properties of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) can be used, in some environments, to trace water masses and provide information about the dynamics of the dissolved organic fraction in natural waters. This work presents the results from a modelling exercise, laboratory experiment and field data, which describe the variations in the optical properties of CDOM during mixing. The exponential slope coefficient (S) is frequently used to characterise different CDOM pools; however, its behaviour during conservative mixing of two different CDOM types is often misunderstood. Identification of a theoretical conservative mixing line allows the rapid identification of non-conservative processes (e.g. in situ production, flocculation and degradation) acting on the pool during mixing. The results suggest that some of the patterns reported in the literature could purely be a result of conservative mixing rather than a product of non-conservative processes.     

Modelling nitrogen and phosphorus cycles and dissolved oxygen in the Zhujiang Estuary Ⅱ. Model results

In the present study, the ecosystem-based water quality model was applied to the Pearl River (Zhujiang) Estuary. The model results successfully represent the distribution trend of nutrients and dissolved oxygen both in the horizontal and vertical planes during the flood season, and it shows that the model has taken into consideration the key part of the dynamical, chemical and biological processes existing in the Zhujiang Estuary. The further studies illustrate that nitrogen is in plenty while phosphorus and light limit the phytoplankton biomass in the Zhujiang Estuary during the flood season.     

南沙群岛海域次表层溶解氧垂直分布最大值的强度特征

分析了“八五”、“九五”国家科技专项南沙群岛海域综合科学考察的现场调查资料,对南沙群岛海域次表层存在的溶解氧垂直分布最大值现象提出了定量表征其强度的方法,并依此法对溶解氧垂直分布最大值强度的特征、季节变化、区域分布等进行了分析。结果表明,南沙群岛海域海水中的溶解氧垂直分布最大值强度在不同的海区、不同的季节表现不同。南沙群岛海区四季均有明显的溶解氧最大值现象出现,就平均值而言,春、夏、冬季次表层溶解氧垂直分布最大值现象较为明显,秋季相对较弱;春季溶解氧垂直分布最大值强度的高值出现在西南部海区和北部的珊瑚礁区,与季风过渡期海水溶解氧主要受生物作用相对应;冬、夏季较高的溶解氧垂直分布最大强度值分别出现在西北部和西部,对应于季风盛行时期的南沙西部沿岸流;夏季出现在东部和南部的低值区又与南沙群岛海区西南季风时期出现的南沙逆流相对应。定量表征的结果与该海区调查研究的分析结果相符合,同时又较好地反映了该海域在季风作用下的物理和生物过程。     

Variations of Hydrochemical Features in the Coastal Waters of Monte Conero: 1982–1990

Abstract. This paper briefly summarises research carried out in 1982–1990 in the coastal area off Monte Conero, SW northern Adriatic Sea. Oceanographic data on temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation, nutrients (nitrates, silicates and orthophosphates), and chlorophylls were collected to characterise this coastal ecosystem in view of the setting up of the "Costa del Monte Conero" protected marine area.
Towards the coast the physical and chemical parameters exhibited a seasonal periodicity.
Temperature showed a clear annual periodicity with a certain interannual variability; this also holds true for oxygen saturation, with peaks in March and minima in September, though without hypoxic events.
Nutrient concentrations peaked at the surface layer at the coastal station from December to March (nitrates: 35–50 μmol 1⁻¹; silicates: 22–70 μmol 1⁻¹; orthophosphates: 0.37–0.54 μmol 1⁻¹) and minima in summer (Jul-Aug) on surface and bottom (0–12μmol 1⁻¹, 0–18.5 μmol 1⁻¹, and 0–0.15 μmol 1⁻¹, respectively). From 1988 to 1990 nutrient peaks were lower and coastal salinity exceed 33, with nitrates below 16 μmol 1⁻¹, silicates below 8 μmol 1⁻¹, and orthophosphates less than 0.2 μmol 1⁻¹.
In the coastal area of Senigallia, 40 km to the north, where the influence of the coastal current that carries the river inflows to the south is stronger, the seasonal cycle was similar, albeit with higher values for nutrients and chlorophylls.     

Continuous flow analysis of dissolved total phosphorus in seawater by UV-K2S2O8 online digestion method

Several methods for analysis of dissolved total phosphorus in seawater were reviewed. Discussions were focused on UV irradiation and persulphate oxidation methods which are the most popular dissolved organic phosphorus determination methods presently. The compounds used for the phosphorus recovery test were categorized into three groups according to their chemical structure. It was found that low power UV irradiation can decompose P-O-C or P-C bonds efficiently but may be inefficient for P-O-P bonds. Heating-bath in acid condition is useful for decomposing P-O-P bonds. Using the continuous flow analysis system (Auto-analyzer Ⅱ), UV digestion and heating-bath, series experiments were carried out based on the above analysis. Eleven model compounds were employed for the phosphorus recovery test and the factors influencing the decomposition efficiency of dissolved compounds containing phosphorus were clarified. Finally, the optimal design for determination of dissolved total phosphorus in seawater based on the routine continuous flow analysis system was presented. For the organic mono-phosphate, the recovery is more than 90% and a recovery of 33%～51% was obtained for inorganic or organic polyphosphates. Up to now, this is the highest decomposition efficiency for dissolved phosphorus based on the continuous flow analysis system.
