Responses of Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass to Typhoon Bolaven

A two-month seabed-mounted observation(YSG1 area) was carried out in the western Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass(YSCWM) using an RDI-300 K acoustic Doppler current profiler(ADCP) placed at a water depth of 38 m in late summer, 2012. On August 2012, Typhoon Bolaven passed east of YSG1 with a maximum wind speed of 20 m s-1. The water depth, bottom temperature, and profile current velocities(including u, v and w components) were measured, and the results showed that the typhoon could induce horizontal current with speed greater than 70 cm s-1 in the water column, which is especially rare at below 20 meters above bottom(mab). The deepening velocity shear layer had an intense shear velocity of around 10 cm s-1 m-1, which indicated the deepening of the upper mixed layer. In the upper water column(above 20 mab), westward de-tide current with velocity greater than 30 cm s-1 was generated with the typhoon's onshore surge, and the direction of current movement shifted to become southward. In the lower water column, a possible pattern of eastward compensation current and delayed typhoon-driven current was demonstrated. During the typhoon, bottom temperature variation was changed into diurnal pattern because of the combined influence of typhoon and tidal current. The passage of Bolaven greatly intensified local sediment resuspension in the bottom layer. In addition, low-density particles constituted the suspended particulate matter(SPM) around 10 mab, which may be transported from the central South Yellow Sea by the typhoon. Overall, the intensive external force of the Typhoon Bolaven did not completely destroy the local thermocline, and most re-suspended sediments during the typhoon were restricted within the YSCWM.     

海河流域夏季降水关键区季内演变及其环流配置的定量化分析

海河流域夏季降水的空间分布具有明显的季节内变化特征,利用海河流域148个地面气象台站逐日降水资料以及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了流域夏季各月降水关键区的分布变化以及与其对应的大气环流系统的季内配置差异,并定量计算了主要环流系统对季内各月关键区降水的影响作用大小。结果表明：海河流域夏季降水关键区稳定表现出一种季节内变化,即以海河流域东北部滦河和北三河下游台站降水贡献率最大值区为轴心,从初夏（6月）至盛夏（7月和8月）,降水关键区在季节内呈顺时针移动,由海河流域东北部移至流域东部和南部再移至流域东部和中部。初夏,东北冷涡活动对流域关键区降水影响最显著,相对贡献率达69.6%;盛夏7月,流域关键区降水异常主要和西太平洋副热带高压（西太副高）脊线位置有关,其相对贡献率在60%以上;8月,西太副高脊线和东亚夏季风指数对流域关键区降水的相对贡献大小相当。海河流域降水关键区在夏季各月的分布变化,与这些环流系统的季内变化路径（南北摆动或向北推进）具有很好的一致性。     

海洋模式中潮致混合调和分析参数化方案的建立

潮致混合对海洋环流的调整起着重要作用。陆架环流的数值模拟中如果不考虑潮汐作用,往往不能得到与观测相符的垂向温盐结构。本文基于调和分析方法,建立了一套潮致混合参数化方案。该方案通过对垂向混合系数进行调和分析,从而得到随时间变化的潮致混合系数。将该方案用于黄海冷水团数值模拟的结果显示,其能够得到与在数值模式开边界直接加入潮汐强迫相当的冷水团温盐结构。和直接引入潮汐强迫相比,这一潮致混合参数化方案的优势在于,它能够大大节省数值模拟计算机时,因此有望显著提高大规模高分辨率的海洋环流及气候模式的模拟能力和计算效率。     

一次东北冷涡背景下MCS过程多尺度能量相互作用研究

采用WRF模式对东北冷涡背景下MCS过程进行模拟,利用Barnes滤波将模式数据分解为3个尺度,分别代入相应的能量方程中进行计算,从能量角度研究MCS发展过程,多尺度系统能量相互转化,以及动能与降水的联系。研究表明:在此次过程中各尺度之间都有位能向动能的大量转化,为系统发展提供能量。在对流单体发展到M CS成形前,中低层天气尺度动能减少,天气尺度动能向β中小尺度动能转换,促进对流单体的发展;高层天气尺度动能增强,对应高空急流增强,促进对流系统发展;β中小尺度系统在中层对α中尺度系统有动能输送,促进MCS形成。在MCS形成和发展阶段,各尺度位能向α中尺度和β中小尺度动能转化达到最大。在MCS减弱阶段,天气尺度系统和α中尺度系统在中高层对β中小尺度系统有一定的抑制作用,使β中小尺度系统发展减弱。此次过程中β中小尺度系统是降水的直接成因,动能变化的正值中心对应大的降水中心。

利用常规资料、自动站资料和T213 1°×1°格点再分析场资料对2007年7月1～2日湖北省的暴雨天气过程进行了分析。结果表明这次暴雨过程是在有利的高、中、低层系统配置下,由华北冷涡带动干冷空气南下,与副热带高压外围的暖湿气流在江淮流域交汇而形成的。干冷空气南侵在暴雨区北侧形成了明显的湿度锋和能量锋,在低层辐合区造成明显的湿度锋锋生触发了中尺度系统的发生发展。     

Why did ancient chemosynthetic seep and vent assemblages occur in shallower water than they do today?

 Cold-seep communities have relatively low diversity, are dominated by one or two taxa present in high density and high biomass in comparison with the surrounding fauna, and are restricted to aphotic habitats. Their associated heterotrophic fauna are usually distinctive from the fauna of their surroundings. In contrast, a more commonplace chemoautotrophically based community occurs in shallow photic habitats. The associated heterotrophic fauna includes many of the species typical of the surrounding communities and typically dominates abundance, whereas the species with chemoautotrophic symbionts dominate biomass. All modern seep assemblages are deeper than 550 m. Many fossil seep assemblages occurred in water as shallow as the mid-shelf (<200 m). In contrast, communities where species with chemoautotrophic symbionts are biomass dominants, but not numerical dominants, are common in shallow waters at present but rarely reported in the geological record. We suggest that the absence of cold-seep communities on the continental shelf presently is due to a combination of predation and competitive exclusion by primary consumers limiting the presence of species dependent on chemoautotrophic symbionts. We suggest that cold-seep assemblages are more common at shelf depths in the fossil record for two reasons: (a) The biases of preservation have accentuated their distribution by transforming communities where species with chemoautotrophic symbionts dominate by biomass, but not numerically, into cold-seep-appearing assemblages. (b) The importance of predation pressure and oligotrophy has varied, with decreased predation pressure accompanying increased oligotrophy favoring cold-seep communities. We suggest that the paucity of shallow-water assemblages with species harboring chemoautotrophic symbionts as biomass dominants in the fossil record is based on the reliance of paleoecological analysis on numerical abundance data when energy flow analyses are required to identify these assemblages. The distinctiveness of the fossil seep assemblage is intensified by taphonomic processes that bias the assemblage against small individuals and epifaunal species, so that diversity declines, the small heterotrophic component of the assemblage is significantly reduced, and the epifaunal component is minimized. The final assemblage is usually dominated by the better-preserved large infaunal clams which perchance are also the species with chemoautotrophic symbionts. In contrast, preservation does not enhance the distinctiveness of these chemoautotroph-harboring species in shallow water. Received: 16 April 1998 / Accepted: 29 June 1999

A numerical study of the wintertime double-warm-tongue structure in the Huanghai(Yellow) Sea

Satellite remote sensing observations show that during winter, sea surface temperature (SST) presents the structure of double warm tongues in the Huanghai Sea trough:the western and the eastern warm tongues. Numerical experiments based on POM are carried out to study the forming mechanism of this thermal structure and its relation to the Huanghai Sea Warm Current (HSWC). The control experiment reproduces this phenomenon quite well, and comparing experiments investigate the effect of wind and tide. It is found that the western warm tongue is mainly caused by the HSWC, which can be strengthened by wintertime southward wind. The eastern warm tongue develops under the influence of an anti-clockwise circulation which is induced by the temperature front of the Huanghai Sea Cold Water Mass (HSCWM) in summer and autumn. In the eastern portion of this circulation, the northward current carries warm water to the north, forming the eastern warm tongue, which remains till winter.

2006年10月在黄海冷水团海域的三个站点开展了微型异养鞭毛虫、异养细菌和蓝细菌的密度和生物量调查,进行了微型异养鞭毛虫的现场摄食实验,通过荧光标记细菌法和消化系数法获得该海区微型异养鞭毛虫对异养细菌和蓝细菌的摄食率,并估算了微型异养鞭毛虫对异养细菌和蓝细菌现存量及生产力的摄食压。结果显示,微型异养鞭毛虫、异养细菌和蓝细菌的密度分别为036×103~113×103,039×106~113×106和004×104~374×104cells/cm3,温跃层以上明显高于底层。微型异养鞭毛虫对异养细菌的摄食率为533~1489个/（HF·h）,对蓝细菌的摄食率为026×102~2310×10-2cells/（HF·h）,摄食率随深度而下降。微型异养鞭毛虫每天能消耗927%~3308%的异养细菌现存量和812%~1609%的蓝细菌现存量。同时,微型异养鞭毛虫对异养细菌和蓝细菌的日摄食量各占它们生产力的266%~1310%和812%~1609%。研究表明微型异养鞭毛虫的摄食可能不是秋季黄海冷水团海域浮游细菌及其生产力的主归宿。
