Effects of wind waves of the Pacific westerly on the eastern Pacific wave transport

There exists a tongueshaped swelldominance pool known as Swell Pool (SP) in the Eastern Pacific region. The monthlymean wave transports (WT) for each month of 2000 is computed using the wave products of ECMWF reanalysis data. By comparing the 2000 monthlymean WT and monthlymean wind field from QUICKSCAT, large differences are found between the wave transport direction and the wind direction over the Eastern Pacific. This may serve as an evidence for the existence of the SP in this region. The work done in this study indicates that the sources of swell in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) are in the westerly regions of the Southern and Northern Pacific.     

Detection of nighttime sea fog/stratus over the Huanghai Sea using MTSAT-1R IR data

A dual channel difference (DCD) method is applied to detect nighttime sea fog/stratus over the Huanghai Sea using the infrared (IR) data of shortwave (3.5–4.0 μm) and longwave (10.3–11.3 μm) channels from the Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT)-1R, i.e., shortwave minus longwave brightness temperature difference (SLTD). Twenty-four sea fog events over the Huanghai Sea during March to July of 2006 and 2007 are chosen to determine a suitable value of SLTD for nighttime sea fog/stratus detection, and ...     

A Lagrangian mean theory on coastal sea circulation with inter-tidal transports Ⅱ. Numerical Experiments

The results of the new concept of coastal sea circulation are demonstrated by numerical simulations for the first time. The numerical experiments in three types of rectangular model seas illustrate the dependence of circulation on tidal phases due to the convectively nonlinear effect which is estimated by a newly defined drift dispersion in-dex. Then, the present theory is applied in the Bohai Sea of China. At the Bohai Straits and the Huanghe River mouth area the circulation direction even reverses owing to different initial tidal phases which shows that the the-ory copes with nonlinearity well. The calculated M2 tide-induced residual circulation shows that a clockwise gyre exists in the center of an anticlockwise gyre in the central Bohai Sea due to the topographic features. In the Bo-hai Gulf the tide induced circulation shows a 3D structure with outflow at the surface and the inflow at the bottom which can partly explains the spread of the Huanghe River fresh water out of the Bohai Gulf and the inflow of the sediment from the Huanghe River.

The impact of physical processes on pollutant transport in Hangzhou Bay

A Lagrangian tracer model is set up for Hangzhou Bay based on Coupled Hydrodynamical Ecological model for Regional Shelf Sea (COHERENS). The study area is divided into eight subdomains to identify the dominant physical processes, and the studied periods are March (the dry season) and July (the wet season). The model performance has been first verified by sea-surface elevation and tidal current observations at several stations. Eight tracer experiments are designed and Lagrangian particle tracking is simulated to examine the impact of physical processes (tide, wind and river runoff) on the transport of passive tracer released within the surface layer. Numerical simulations and analysis indicate that: (1) wind does not change the tracer distribution after 30 days except for those released from the south area of the bay during the wet season; (2) the tide and the Qiantang River runoff are important for particle transport in the head area of the bay; (3) the Changjiang River runoff affects the tracer transport at the mouth of the bay, and its impact is smaller in the dry season than in the wet season.

娄底拆迁“三无”奇迹再调查

与其说这是一个奇迹，一种经验，不如说是一种关怀，一种付出。娄底市华菱安塞乐米塔尔汽车板、电工钢铁项目（以下简称“汽车板项目”）征用工业用地2488亩、安置用地700多亩，拆迁房屋308栋，安置拆迁户512户，从6月9日启动拆迁到8月12日拆迁完最后一栋房屋，仅仅只用了63天（本刊2009年第十期《湖南最大合资项目征地拆迁创造奇迹》一文有报道）。     

海洋启发的造车灵感

箱鲀:独一无二的汽车研发项目模型箱鲀生活在热带地区海洋中的珊瑚礁及海草丛中,在这些地方生活,需要箱鲀具有类似汽车的一些功能。它们需要保存体力,在运动时尽可能少的消耗能量,这就需要它们具备强有力的肌肉以及流线型的外形;它们还必须经得起高水压,并在碰撞中保护自己的身体不受伤害,这就需要它们拥有坚硬的外皮;它们还需要钻进狭窄的地方觅食,这则需要良好的机动性。     

空间运输联系的分布与交流规律研究

空间运输联系是指在自然、社会、经济诸要素综合作用下，区域间通过交通运输设施进行旅客和货物交流产生的相互联系与作用。采用定量与定性相结合的实证分析方法，本文研究了客货运输的地域分布特征、地域间交流联系生成的内在机制、基本类型和增长演变的趋势，划分出客运联系“单中心”、“多中心”，货运联系“互补性交流”、“竞争性交流”、“递接性交流等类型，并提出了非均衡系数、集中度、首位联系量等评价指标。
