天津大神堂牡蛎礁国家级海洋特别保护区现状及管理对策

天津大神堂是我国北方纬度最高的现代活体牡蛎群聚海域,区域内地质条件特殊,生物多样性丰富,贝类生物与砂质沉积物等环境因素共同构成了独特活牡蛎礁海洋生态系统。近几年来,受海洋开发、环境污染、过度捕捞影响,牡蛎礁区面积逐年减缩小,生物资源持续衰退,2013年经国家海洋局批准建立了天津大神堂牡蛎礁国家级海洋特别保护区。为加强海洋特别保护区建设,本文分析了天津大神堂海洋特别保护区的自然条件和现状,探讨了健全管理体系,完善法律法规制度,加强生态环境监测,构建兼顾生态效益和经济效益的可持续利用新模式等问题,以期为天津大神堂牡蛎礁国家级海洋特别保护区的养护及管理提供参考。     

波浪作用下三角型人工鱼礁水动力特性数值模拟与实验验证

人工鱼礁在波浪作用下水动力特性的研究对于人工鱼礁的工程安全与设计具有非常重要的意义。基于有限体积法,采用推板造波形式,通过利用VOF方法求解波面的方式建立了模拟人工鱼礁与波浪相互作用的三维数值波浪水槽。基于该数值模型研究了波浪作用下三角型镂空人工鱼礁的受力情况,并与物理模型实验结果进行比较,结果显示模拟得到的人工鱼礁受力和波浪形态均与实验结果吻合良好。根据数值模拟结果,拟合出波浪作用下人工鱼礁的水动力系数。单体三角型镂空人工鱼礁的速度力系数Cd随着Kc数、Re数的增加呈现减小的趋势;惯性力系数Cm则随着Kc数、Re数的增加呈现波动趋势。数值模拟结果显示在一个波浪周期内,人工鱼礁周围产生了较强的上升流和回流,其内部产生了明显的涡旋结构。研究结果为人工鱼礁的设计优化提供了理论依据。     

Spatio-temporal patterns of coral recruitment at Vamizi Island,Quirimbas Archipelago,Mozambique

Spatial and temporal patterns of recruitment of reef corals were assessed for the first time in Mozambique by deploying settlement plates at various spatio-temporal scales between October 2012 and October 2013. The abundance of juvenile corals (5?50?mm in diameter) was assessed along transects. Settlement of acroporids was highly seasonal, with 97% of spat settling between July and October 2013. Pocilloporids settled throughout the year, peaking slightly between October 2012 and January 2013. The annual mean larval settlement of up to 1 135 spat m^?2 was comparable to that on other East African reefs, but was dominated by acroporids, which constituted over 80% of all spat, whereas pocilloporids settle in higher densities in Kenya and South Africa. The peak settlement season also differed from other African locations. A greater proportion of variance in settlement rates occurred at the spatial scale of kilometres (between sites) and centimetres (between settlement plates) than at the scale of metres (between subsites), implying that most patchiness occurs at those scales. The peak in acroporid settlement coincided with the period of multispecific spawning, with settlement occurring as early as nine days after a spawning event. As no similar spawning events have been reported for other reefs in the area, our results suggest that these spawning events strongly influence overall annual settlement rates and promote high levels of self-seeding at Vamizi. There was no relationship between settlement of larvae to settlement plates and juvenile density on adjacent reefs, suggesting either variable levels of early post-settlement mortality or high interannual variability in settlement.     

基于MODIS的2001年—2012年北京热岛足迹及容量动态监测

利用2001年—2012年MODIS分裂窗算法反演得到的1 km分辨率地表温度产品分析了北京城市热岛效应。首先计算北京2001年—2012年地表温度年平均值,其次利用半径法确定热岛足迹并计算热岛容量。结论如下:(1)热岛足迹及热岛容量昼夜差异明显,2012年白天热岛足迹是夜间的1.5倍,这是由于城市下垫面热特性差异及人为活动的综合影响。(2)2001年—2012年北京城市高温区在空间上向南北扩展,热岛足迹和热岛容量呈阶段性增长。2010年白天热岛足迹最大,半径为28 km,面积是2001年的2.4倍。当热岛足迹相同时,城市绿地和水体功能区的分布和布局方式等因素能够影响热岛容量。城市建设用地和农村居民点对城市热环境贡献率明显高于其他土地利用类型。当建设用地面积比例超过50%时,区域会产生显著的热岛现象。(3)根据北京热岛足迹及容量时空动态变化特征,提出改善城市热岛的措施。     

Changes in octocoral communities and benthic cover along a water quality gradient in the reefs of Hong Kong

Cover of the main reef benthic groups, and abundances and taxonomic richness of octocorals were surveyed in the reefs of Hong Kong, and related to spatial and water quality gradients. Nutrient and particle concentrations are high throughout the area, with concentrations declining from the south towards the north-eastern region. Regression tree analyses showed that hard coral cover was most strongly related to water clarity, that macroalgal cover was highest in areas with high wave action and high water clarity, and that crustose coralline algae were negatively related to sedimentation. Octocoral communities (42 species in 23 genera) were dominated by zooxanthellae-free taxa; those few species with zooxanthellae were restricted to reefs with low wave action and high water clarity in the north-eastern region. The water quality gradient spans from conditions that are marginal for zooxanthellate octocorals while still supporting diverse scleractinian communities, towards an estuarine endpoint where zooxanthellate octocorals cease to exist and hard coral communities are reduced to a few resilient colonies. The data suggest that the types, abundances and richness of zooxanthellate octocorals, and the shift from zooxanthellate to azooxanthellate octocoral communities, may act as useful indicators of water clarity in regions where long-term water quality data are unavailable.

利用2006年6～8月重庆市区和郊区的26个自动气象站逐小时的观测数据和重庆市地形高程数据等资料,对重庆市夏季的城市热岛效应进行了分析.结果表明,重庆市存在明显的热岛效应,2006年夏季的平均热岛强度值为1.0 ℃,最大日平均热岛强度达1.8 ℃.热岛效应的日变化明显,热岛强度夜间强,白天弱,2006年夏季夜间平均热岛强度为1.4 ℃,夜间最大达到了2.6 ℃,热岛效应加重了市区夜间的高温热害.高温干旱的出现主要影响夜间的热岛效应,使夜间的平均热岛强度增加了约0.7 ℃.通过GIS空间化表明,主城区的温度受地形和城市布局的双重影响,高温中心位于城区沿江一带.热岛效应受天气系统影响强烈,当有天气过程时,热岛效应将明显减弱;而在稳定的晴热天气背景下,热岛效应最明显.     

Mesoscale Structure of Trade Wind Convection over Puerto Rico: Composite Observations and Numerical Simulation

We examine the mesoscale structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), low-level circulation, and trade wind convection over the sub-tropical island of Puerto Rico in mid-summer. Shallow afternoon thunderstorms are frequently seen over the western plains of the island. Observational data include automatic weather station measurements, radiosonde profiles, infrared satellite images, and mesoscale reanalysis data with a focus on the summer of 2006. Satellite microwave radar data (TRMM and CloudSat) indicate that island clouds typically extend just above the −20°C level during afternoon hours with reflectivity values reaching 50 dBz. A singular value decomposition of 3-hourly high resolution satellite rainfall maps reveals an island mode. From this a composite is constructed for a group of ten cases. With a Froude number ≈1 the trade winds pass over the mountains and standing vortices and gravity waves are trapped in the meandering wake. The Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model at 1-km resolution with 51 vertical layers is used to simulate the short-lived thunderstorms for two cases: 27 June and 20 July 2006. The model correctly locates the convective cells that develop between 1400 and 1700 LST. The shallow afternoon thunderstorms are triggered by surface heat fluxes, confluent sea breezes and a mountain wake. Recommendations for enhanced observations are given.     

兰州市近50年城市热岛强度变化特征

利用1956-2005年兰州市日平均气温、日最高气温和日最低气温,分析了近50年兰州市城市热岛效应变化,并利用城区和郊区3种气温的倾向率计算了城市热岛强度倾向率和热岛增温贡献率。结果表明：1956-2005年兰州市3种气温的城郊差均呈逐年上升趋势,平均气温、最高气温和最低气温的倾向率分别为每10年0.371℃、0.169℃和0.654℃,其中,最低气温的城郊差上升最明显。近50年兰州市增温主要发生在后25年（1981-2005年）,前25年除城区最低气温外基本上以降温为主。后25年中,城区年平均气温、最高气温和最低气温倾向率分别为每10年0.789℃、0.997℃和0.625℃,郊区则相应为每10年0.493℃、0.790℃和0.077℃,其中最高气温增温最显著,最低气温增温最少;以年平均、最高和最低气温表示的城市热岛强度的倾向率分别为每10年0.395℃、0.188℃和0.674℃,热岛效应对城区增温的贡献率分别达到87.0%、49.6%和100%。冬季城市和郊区的平均气温和最低气温倾向率最大,但热岛增温贡献率最大的是春、夏季气温,而不是冬季气温;这可能主要与兰州市冬季严重的空气污染有关, 因为其对城市热岛有一定的抑制作用。20世纪80年代以后兰州市热岛效应有增强的趋势,但平均气温和最高气温的热岛增温贡献率除个别季节外有所下降。
