Spatial and Temporal Variations of Tropical Cyclones at Different Intensity Scales over the Western North Pacific from 1945 to 2005

The tropical cyclone （TC） track data provided by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center （JTWC） of the U.S. Navy over the western North Pacific （including the South China Sea） from 1945 to 2005 are employed to analyze the temporal and spatial variations of TCs of different intensity scales. Most of the TCs occurred between 15° and 25°N, from the northern part of the South China Sea to the eastern part of the Bashi Channel until near 140°E. Most of the severe and super typhoons occurred over waters from the eastern part of the Bashi Channel to about 140°E. The TCs in a weakening or steady state take up a weak majority in the area west of 123°E and north of 20°N; those in an intensifying or steady state are mostly found in the area east of 123°E and south of 20°N. For severe tropical storms, typhoons, severe typhoons, and super typhoons, their average decaying rates are all greater than the respective average growing rates; for tropical storms, however, the average decaying rate is smaller than the average growing rate. Generally speaking, the stronger the TC, the faster the intensification （weakening） is. The percentage of weak TCs is higher in June to August while that of strong TCs is higher in September to November. There are annual, interannual, and interdecadal variations in the observed number （every 6 h） and frequency of TCs at different intensity scales. As far as the long-term trend is concerned, the frequency and observed number of tropical storms have a significant linear increase, but the averaged intensity and number of TCs of other intensity categories do not exhibit such a significant linear trend. In E1 Nifio years, the number and percentage of super typhoons are significantly higher, while the total number of tropical storms, severe tropical storms, typhoons, and severe typhoons is significantly lower, and the mean intensity of TCs is prominently stronger; in La Nifia years, however, the opposite comes true.

Distribution and dispersal pattern of clay minerals in surface sediments, eastern Beibu Gulf, South China Sea

Clay minerology of sediments are useful in determining distribution,sources and dispersal routes of fine-grained sediments.In the present paper,clay minerals of surface sediments throughout the eastern part of Beibu Gulf has been investigated to reveal sources and transport of detrital finegrained sediments.Four distinct clay mineral suites were observed from cluster analysis of clay mineral compositions of the samples.From the distribution pattern of clay minerals,we conclude that kaolinte in the eastern gulf is mainly derived from South China Landmass;Smectite could not be transported mainly by surface current from north-western Hainan Island,and maybe minor portion of it from Red River;Illite is mainly transported by the currents from South China Sea.Chlorite has two sources,namely South China Sea and South China Landmass.The Zhujiang River derived sediments could not be one of the sources for the clay mineral here,because of very different composition and ratios.The distribution pattern of clay minerals in the eastern Beibu Gulf is mainly controlled by fine-grained sediment source and local currents.The Silt/Clay,Smectite/Kaolinte,and Smetite/(Chlorite+Illite) ratios could be used as indicators of fine-grained sediment dispersal in the gulf.     

海洋有毒甲藻Coolia monotis的研究概况

甲藻(Pyrrophyta)又称双鞭毛藻(Dinoflagellates),是海洋浮游植物的重要种群之一,其种类繁多,全世界已记录的约有130个属,1200个代表种。随着赤潮的频繁出现及赤潮毒素的强效活性的发现,有毒甲藻的危害及医药作用日益引起人们的重视。赤潮毒素是海洋生物活性物质中研究、开发进展最为迅速的领域之一。     

南中国海海水中多环芳烃的分布特征及源分析

利用气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)技术,对2012年10月采自南中国34个站位的表层、500 m层、底层海水中的16种多环芳烃(16PAHs)进行了检测分析。结果显示:南中国海海水中16PAHs的含量相对于其他类似广阔水域较低,分布特征大致呈现500 m层表层底层。经特征PAHs组分分析判定南中国海海水中PAHs主要来源于石油及其产品。     

南中国海油田独立开发方案讨论

从南海某油田开发方案研究出发,根据目标油田的油藏规模和储量,兼顾周边油田的区域开发需求,确定油田开发思路和钻完井机具、方式的选择方法。详细阐述油田生产处理、油气水输送、原油储存和外输的主工艺流程设计思想,系统论述油田开发主要工程设施的研究思路和方法。在经过初步工程方案筛选后,针对油田独立开发的关键设施———浮式储油生产装置(FPSO)或浮式储油装置(FSO),以改造升级旧 FPSO、旧油轮改造成 FSO 及新建 FPSO 等三个可行的开发方案为基础,确定相应的主工艺流程,从各方案技术优缺点、工期编排及工程投资估算等方面综合考虑,进行油田开发工程方案的最终选择。在此基础上,总结了南中国海油田独立开发方案的研究思路和方法,该方法对于远离陆地的油田开发方案研究具有借鉴意义。
