Interannual variations of surface winds over China marginal seas

In a study of surface monsoon winds over the China marginal seas, Sun et al. (2012) use singular value decomposition method to identify regional dominant modes and analyze their interdecadal variability. This paper continues to evaluate the interannual variability of each dominant mode and its relation to various atmospheric, oceanic and land factors. The findings include: 1) The intensity of the winter monsoon over the East China Sea is highly correlated with the Siberian High intensity and anti-correlated with the latitudinal position of the Aleutian Low as well as the rainfall in eastern China, Korean Peninsula and Japan; 2) The western Pacific subtropical high is significantly correlated with the summer monsoon intensity over the East China Sea and anti-correlated with the summer monsoon over the South China Sea; 3) The winter monsoon in a broad zonal belt through the Luzon Strait is dominated by the ENSO signal, strengthening in the La Ni a phase and weakening in the El Ni o phase. This inverse relation exhibits interdecadal shift with a period of weak correlation in the 1980s; 4) Analysis of tidal records validates the interdecadal weakening of the East Asian summer monsoon and reveals an atmospheric bridge that conveys the ENSO signal into the South China Sea via the winter monsoon.

The influence of ENSO on sea surface temperature variations in the China seas

Positive SST anomalies usually appear in remote ocean such as the China seas during an ENSO event.By analyzing the monthly data of HadISST from 1950 to 2007,it shows that the interannual component of SST anomalies peak approximately 10 months after SST anomalies peak in the eastern equatorial Pacific.As the ENSO event progresses,the positive SST anomalies spread throughout the China seas and eastward along the Kuroshio extension.Atmospheric reanalysis data demonstrate that changes in the net surface heat flux entering into the China seas are responsible for the SST variability.During El Ni o,the western north Pacific anticyclone is generated,with anomalous southwester lies prevailing along the East Asian coast.This anticyclone reduces the mean surface wind speed which decreases the surface heat flux and then increases the SST.The delays between the developing of this anticyclone and the south Indian Ocean anticyclone with approximately 3–6 months cause the 2–3 months lag of the surface heat flux between the China seas and the Indian Ocean.The northwestern Pacific anticyclone is the key process bridging the warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific and that in the China seas.

UNIFIED EARTHQUAKE CATALOG FOR CHINA’S SEAS AND ADJACENT REGIONS AND ITS COMPLETENESS ANALYSIS

China’s seas and adjacent regions are affected by interactions among the Eurasian plate, the western Pacific plate, and the Philippine Sea plate. Both intraplate and plate-edge earthquakes have occurred in these regions and the seismic activities are frequent. The coastal areas of China are economically developed and densely populated. With the development and utilization of marine energy and resources along with the development of national economy, the types and quantity of construction projects in the marine and coastal areas have increased, once an earthquake happens, it will cause huge damage and loss to these areas, therefore, the earthquake-related research for these sea areas cannot be ignored and the need for study on these areas is increasingly urgent. One type of essential basic data for marine seismic research is a complete, unified earthquake catalog, which is an important database for seismotectonics, seismic zoning, earthquake prediction, earthquake prevention, and disaster reduction. Completeness and reliability analysis of an earthquake catalog is one of the fundamental research topics in seismology.
At present, four editions of earthquake catalogs have been officially published in China, as well as the earthquake catalogue compiled in the national fifth-generation earthquake parameter zoning map, these catalogs are based on historical data, seismic survey investigations, and various instrumental observations. However, these catalogs have earlier data deadlines and contain the earthquake records for only the offshore regions of China, which are extensions of coastal land. Distant sea regions, subduction zones, and adjacent sea regions have not been included in these catalogs. Secondly, there were no cross-border areas involved in the compilation of earthquake catalogs in the past. It was not required to use magnitudes measured by other countries’ seismic networks and observation agencies to develop an earthquake catalog with a uniform magnitude scale, moreover, there was no formula suitable for the conversion of magnitude scale in China’s seas areas and adjacent regions. Little research has been conducted to compile and analyze the completeness of a unified earthquake catalog for China’s seas and adjacent regions. Therefore, in this study, we compiled earthquake data from the seismic networks of China and other countries for China’s seas and adjacent regions. The earthquake-monitoring capabilities of different sea areas at different time periods were evaluated, and the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of epicentral location accuracy for China’s seas and adjacent regions were analyzed. We used the orthogonal regression method to obtain conversion relationships between the surface wave magnitude, body wave magnitude, and moment magnitude for China’s seas and adjacent regions, and established magnitude conversion formulae between the China Seismic Network and the M_L magnitude of the Taiwan Seismic Network and the M_S magnitude of the Philippine Seismic Network. Finally, we developed an earthquake catalog with uniform magnitude scales for China’s seas and adjacent regions.
On the basis of the frequency-magnitude distribution obtained from the magnitude-cumulative frequency relationship (N-T) and the Gutenberg-Richter(GR)law, we conducted a completeness analysis of the unified earthquake catalog for China’s seas and adjacent regions, Then, we identified the beginning years of each magnitude interval at different focal depth ranges and different seismic zones in the earthquake catalog.
This study marks the first time that a unified earthquake catalog has been compiled for China’s seas and adjacent regions, based on the characteristics of seismicity in the surrounding sea regions, which fills the gap in the compilation of the earthquake catalogue of China’s seas and adjacent areas. The resulting earthquake catalog provides a basis for seismotectonics, seismicity study, and seismic hazard analysis for China’s seas and adjacent regions. The catalog also provides technical support for the preparation of seismic zoning maps as well as for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in project planning and engineering construction in the sea regions. In addition, by evaluating the earthquake-monitoring capability of the seismic networks in China’s seas and adjacent regions and analyzing the completeness of the compiled unified earthquake catalog, this study provides a scientific reference to improve the earthquake-monitoring capability and optimizing the distribution of the seismic networks in these regions.     

Polychaetes from Jan Mayen (Annelida, Polychaeta)

A thorough literature review has been undertaken to establish the first complete account of polychaetes recorded from the area around the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The annotated checklist lists 121 species-level taxa, representing an increase from the 75 species previously recorded. The checklist is based on existing records, supplemented with material sampled in 1999, from which 42 species new to the area were reported. Some previously reported species from the area have been excluded because of inadequate documentation. The polychaete fauna of Jan Mayen is comparable with that of the mainland Norwegian coast and the Svalbard area. No taxa unique to the island were found. However, knowledge of the marine invertebrate fauna in general at Jan Mayen is sparse because few surveys have been undertaken there. It is expected that future expeditions will reveal further new taxon records for the area.     

Review of Methodologies for Offshore Wind Resource Assessment in European Seas

The wind resource offshore is generally larger than at geographically nearby onshore sites, which can offset the higher installation, operation and maintenance costs associated with offshore wind parks. Successful offshore wind energy development relies to some extent on accurate prediction of wind resources, but since installing and operating a meteorological mast in situ is expensive, prospective sites must be carefully evaluated. Accordingly, one can conceptualize the wind resource assessment process as a two-phase activity: (i) an evaluation of wind resources at the regional scale to locate promising wind farm sites and (ii) a site specific evaluation of wind climatology and vertical profiles of wind and atmospheric turbulence, in addition to an assessment of historical and possibly future changes due to climate non-stationarity. Phase (i) of the process can involve use of in situ observations of opportunity derived from ships, lighthouses and buoys in conjunction with model tools and remote sensing products. The reliability of such data sources has been extensively investigated in different national and European projects especially in Northern Europe, and the results are summarized herein. Phase (ii) of the project often still requires in situ observations (which may or may not be supplemented with ground-based remote sensing technologies) and application of tools to provide a climatological context for the resulting measurements. Current methodologies for undertaking these aspects of the resource assessment are reviewed.
