Wind impact on pollutant transport in a shallow estuary

A three-dimensional numerical model, EFDC （ environmental fluid dynamics code） is applied to the Pamlico River Estuary （PRE） in eastern North Carolina of the United States to examine the wind impact on pollutant age distributions and residence time. A series of model experiments representing base case, remote-wind-induced water level set-up and local winds cases are conducted. Model results indicate that the pollutant mean age and the system residence time are functions of gravitational circulation in the PRE. The system responses to remote-wind-induced water level set-up are different in different portions of the PRE. Under such condition, dissolved substances in the upstream portion of the PRE have a younger age and shorter residence time （compared with the base case） , by contrast, they have a older age and longer residence time in the downstream portion of the PRE. Upriver and downriver local winds appear to have opposite impacts on pollutant age distributions. The substances are retained much longer within the PRE under upriver wind than those under downriver wind. The model results also suggest that across - river winds may lead to longer residence time through enhanced turbulence mixing, which slows down the gravitational circulation in the PRE.     

热带太平洋次表层三维海温距平场的EOF分析

应用太平洋次表层海温距平资料构造了一个立体的西低东高的四级阶梯模型,使用EOF方法对此模型进行时空分解,重点讨论了分解结果与ENSO循环的关系,并对Nino 3距平指数进行试预报,结果表明,用 EOF分解的第一主分量代表暖池-厄尔尼诺(拉尼娜)模态,第二主分量代表次表层温度距平的东西运移模态,厄尔尼诺事件正是东西运移模态突变的结果.时滞相关分析估算,一次ENSO循环的平均周期约为41个月,厄尔尼诺、拉尼娜模态与温度距平的东西运移模态的位相差平均约为9.7个月.应用逐步回归方法得到超前Nino 3距平指数3、6和12个月的3个预报方程.预报结果表明,第一、第二时间系数对Nino 3距平指数均具有一定的预报价值,预报时效可达1 a左右.     

A preliminary study of variations of the Changjiang Diluted Water between August of 1999 and 2006

A large area hypoxia has been already reported respectively by two interdisciplinary surveys off the Changjiang Estuary since summer of 1999 and 2006. The hypoxic zone shows distinct year-to-year variations. Observed oceanographic data are first analysized and reveal a big difference for the Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) between these two periods. These great changes are related to the tremendous reduction of the freshwater discharge and variations of wind fields between these two years. It is also found that the monthly mean intrusion of Kuroshio and its branches has increased in the northern East China Sea (ECS), but decreased in the southern ECS in August of 2006 as compared with 1999 on the base of general circulation models. Then, the Regional Ocean Modelling Systems is applied to the East China Sea to evaluate the contributions and relative importance of impacts from the river discharge, wind forcing and open boundary data. Our simulations reproduce the phenomena that more fresh water extends northeastward in 2006 and forms a negative SSS anomaly to the northeast of the river mouth as compared with 1999, which is consistent with observations. The five group numerical tests suggest that the wind forcing dominates the CDW variations followed by the Kuroshio and its branches. The study implies important roles played by hydrodynamic processes on the variability of hypoxic zone in the study areas.

1990s年代际转型前后南海季风系统的季节变化

利用多变量经验正交分解(MV-EOF)等方法,研究了在季节变化尺度上南海季风系统的时空分布特征。结果表明:南海夏季风的爆发时间在1993—1994年前后存在显著的年代际转型,由爆发偏晚转变成爆发偏早。第一模态表现为冬夏反位相的年周期变化,但爆发早年夏季风持续时间略长于爆发晚年,空间上都反映了南海中央海盆区的夏季强降水和850 hPa上南海北部的气旋性环流异常,但夏季风爆发早年中国华南沿海降水加强而南海南部降水偏少。相应的大范围环流场上主要反映了南海夏季风爆发后进入盛夏时节亚太地区大范围的环流特征,南海夏季风爆发偏早年索马里越赤道气流偏强,东亚季风槽位置偏北,爆发偏晚年则相反。第二模态反映了南海季风系统春秋反位相的季节变化,且秋季的振幅更强,空间降水场上对应着秋季华南沿海和南海北部与南海中南部北旱南涝的跷跷板式分布,850 hPa风场上则主要表现为异常的东北季风,该模态时空特征表明南海夏季风爆发偏早年的秋季,冬季风建立也偏早,越南及周边地区的降水偏多。相应的大范围环流场上则主要反映了冬季风的环流特征,在南海夏季风爆发偏早年的秋季,菲律宾以东的热带对流减弱,PJ波列增强,爆发晚年则相反。     

大西洋温盐循环的演变:早渐新世北大西洋深水开始形成

气候和大洋盆地形状的急剧变化标志了新生代的开始。不断增加的证据表明了在早新生代(约55 Ma)的极端温暖时期,主要存在于南大洋的深水层形成了与现代模式根本不同的循环模式,并在北大西洋北部及南大洋形成了深水层。早新生代模式向两极模式的转变出现于何时?该转变的主要作用力如何?巴拿马地峡(4·2 Ma)的形成被认为是代表了深水循环向两极模式转变的最后作用,它使湾流将盐度较高的暖水带到北半球高纬形成北大西洋深层水(NADW),现代NADW由来自Nordic海和拉布拉多海的深水组成。然而,通常认为北大西洋的深水形成的最初阶段只有Nordic海…

使用一个十分简单而相对完整，包括浮游生物和无生命氮的食物网以描述发生在海洋上层的生物过程。将该生物模式用在一个从佛罗里达海峡流至挪威海的水块中，模拟浮游生物和营养盐随时间的演化。模拟结果给出了浮游生物在营养盐驱动下的生命循环，并得到水华季，比用最简单的浮游植物浮游动物－营养盐得到的结果更合理。     

缺测潮位补齐方法的比较分析

简要介绍了利用二次抛物线拟合法、自报值循环逼近法和参数法进行缺测潮位数据补齐的原理和适用范围,对实测潮位资料的不连续进行数据补齐。选取4个不同潮汐类型的验潮站(小麦岛、龙口、涠洲、海口),对缺测数据,采用二次抛物线拟合法和自报值循环逼近法进行补齐。选取文登、乳山口、千里岩3个验潮站,对缺测数据采用参数法进行补齐。结果表明,3种方法对于缺测潮位的补齐均具有可靠性和实用性。二次抛物线拟合法和参数法补齐精度较高,自报值循环逼近法和参数法可补齐较长时段的缺测潮位,二次抛物线拟合法和自报值循环逼近法无需临近验潮站同步实测数据。在工程应用中,需根据缺测时段及时长选择合适的方法。
