漳州地区热田的水热活动及其成因

本文通过漳州地热田及其周围地区的水热活动、地质构造特征及人工爆破、重力、地磁、电性结构、地震活动性等综合地球物理场之间关系分析，得出漳州地热田是高热异常背景下产生的对流型水热系统：深切到上地幔的ＮＥ向长乐－南澳断裂、ＮＷ向九龙江断裂及Ｅ－Ｗ向南靖－厦门断裂控制了地下水的深循环，使大气降水得以下渗到〉３ｋｍ深度，被地温加热并富集起来，在静水压力作用下沿通道－断裂带的交汇部位上涌。热田区破碎的岩石导致     

南海北部温盐热结构

南海北部年均水温水平分布有如下特征：南高北低，东高西低；等不温线近亿与大陆斜坡等深线平行；大陆架／斜坡区为一暖水带，深海盆是个冷水区。水温随时间的变化特点是：东北季风盛行期间，大陆架／斜坡区产生暖水带；西南季风盛行期间，大陆架斜坡区间成冷水带；暖水带与冬季风同消长，是盛行季风与大陆架／斜坡地形相互作用的结果；南海北就深海盆终年被冷水盘据。     

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.     

印度洋热含量在南海夏季风爆发中的作用

利用Scripps海洋研究所0—400m上层海洋热含量资料和美国环境监测中心/国家大气研究中心(National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research,NCEP/NCAR)的再分析资料,运用经验正交分解(empirical orthogonal function,EOF)等统计方法,研究在有ENSO影响和去除ENSO影响的情况下,前期春季印度洋热含量如何影响南海夏季风爆发。结果表明,在没有扣除ENSO信号的情况下,热带印度洋热含量EOF分解第一模态呈东西相反变化的空间分布。印度洋东部热含量为正(负)异常、西部为负(正)异常时,南海夏季风爆发较早(晚),印度洋上层热含量主要通过影响热带印度洋上空大气的垂直运动和高低层辐散辐合,进而影响季风纬向环流的强弱,来影响南海夏季风爆发的早晚。在扣除ENSO信号的情况下,印度洋热含量CEOF(conditional EOF)第一模态的空间分布类似于EOF第一模态的空间分布;第二模态表现为除小部分海区外,热带印度洋热含量呈一致变化的海盆模态。这两个模态对南海夏...     

基于Argo资料的热带西太平洋上层热含量初步研究

根据2004年1月-2008年12月间的Argo剖面浮标观测资料,分析了热带西太平洋上层热含量的空间分布及其季节变化特征,并考察了不同计算深度以及盐度对热含量的影响,且探讨了有关计算上层热含量的深度选取问题.结果表明:(1)热带西太平洋上层热含量的气候态大致呈“马鞍型”分布,即在12°N以北和5°S以南海域上层热含量都较高,而在2°-12°N之间热含量则较低,特别在棉兰老冷涡区热含量很低;(2)研究海域的上层热含量一年四季均呈这种两高一低的空间分布形势,但强度的季节性变幅却较大,整个研究海域的热含量体现为春季最高,夏季最低,秋冬季居中的特点,但两个高热含量区和低热含量带的热含量各呈现出不同的季节变化;(3)温跃层深度的波动对海洋上层热含量的影响要大于上混合层,尤其在南北纬10°以外海域.因此,计算西太平洋上层热含量时,应将积分深度取为温跃层下界深度,才有可能比较真实地反映该海域的上层热含量的分布和变化,若为简单起见,取等深度计算时,以700m为宜,此外,盐度对上层热含量的影响也应引起重视.     

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。     

南极生物热耐受性:热极限的进化和适应性调节

温室效应和全球气候变化已经影响到南、北极地区,极地气温升高对于极地生物链的基础部分产生巨大影响.南极生物链中的关键初级生产力是微藻,南极冰藻是极好的生态指示种.南极冰藻在高于生长适宜温度下生长受到抑制,抵抗高温胁迫的机制和能力制约着南极冰藻的生存,南极冰藻生存威胁到极地生态的生物多样性和极地生物链的完整性.持续低温环境进化过程对极端适冷微藻热适应机理的影响是理解极地气候变化对南极冰藻生态影响的依据.     

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.
