香港东北部托罗港湾水环境评价

Uncontrolled discharges of municipal sewage, agricultural wastes and industrial effluents in the past decades have upset the ecosystems, caused frequent occurrences of red tides, and resulted in a loss of inland and coastal amenity values of the land-locked embayment of Tolo Harbour and the related river systems. This paper provides a review of the established relevant legislations and sewage management facilities for environmental conservation, and the current status of water environment in the Tolo Harbour Water Control Zone.     

酸气工厂附近地下污染影响自然水体的关键因素

Hydrocarbon contamination of lakes and rivers from subsurface discharge of ground-water is a common environmental problem in many countries. This source of contamination, particularly dissolved phase hydrocarbons, can significantly reduce the quality of natural waters. Laboratory results show that the aqueous solubility of benzene can be predicted by Raoul''s Law for BTEX mixtures and for gas condensate. In contrast, the solubility of total xylenes was up to three times higher than the calculated results using Raoul''s Law. A comparison of these finding with the composition of BTEX in groundwater at a sour-gas plant, indicated that the mole fraction and groundwater flow velocity were two principle factors affecting the discharge concentration of benzene and xylenes to natural waters.     

Wave direction shift triggered severe erosion of beaches in estuaries and bays with limited post-storm recovery

Many estuaries contain sandy beaches that provide habitats and offer protective buffers for wetlands and infrastructure, alongside cultural and recreational resources. Research underpinning coastal management tends to focus on tide- and swell-dominated sandy beaches, but little attention is given to beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) that exist along a continuum of wind/swell wave, tide and riverine influence. BEBs are subject to less wave energy than open coast locations because of the generally narrow window of directions for which ocean waves can propagate through the entrance. However, when storm wave direction coincides with the orientation of the estuary or bay entrance, waves can penetrate several kilometres inside. Here we focus on eight BEBs in two major bays/estuaries in Sydney, Australia and present observations from before and after a major extratropical storm with waves from an atypical direction in June 2016. We quantify magnitudes of beach erosion and recovery rates for 3 years post-storm. We show that when high-energy storm waves penetrate bays and estuaries, BEBs can undergo up to 100% of subaerial beach erosion. Three years after the storm, only 5 of the 29 (17%) eroded subaerial beach profiles had recovered to their pre-storm volume. This is likely due to the lack of low-frequency, beach-building waves at BEBs under modal weather conditions in between storms, in contrast to open coast beaches. We also show that the recovery of BEBs may be limited by the absence of adjacent sediment reservoirs due to the dominance of tidal processes mid-channel. Our study highlights the unique behaviour of BEBs relative to beaches on the open coast, and that shifting wave direction needs to be considered in long-term beach resilience under climate change. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

长江口邻近海域海水pH的季节变化及其影响因素

基于对2015—2016年长江口邻近海域现场调查数据的分析,探讨了其海水pH的季节变化和影响因素。结果表明:长江口邻近海域四季pH在7.76—8.32之间,其中夏季最高,秋季最低;夏季具有明显的分层现象,冬季水体pH垂直分布相对均一。长江冲淡水对长江口邻近海域水体pH的影响是局域性的。浮游植物光合作用是影响春、夏、秋季海水pH区域分布的重要过程。春、冬季节表层海水pH分布受海-气界面CO2交换的影响较大。温度、生物作用及长江冲淡水扩展是导致长江口邻近海域表层海水pH季节变化的主要因素。     

MODIS水色产品在中国黄、东海海域应用研究

An extensive study collected in situ data along the Yellow Sea(YS) and East China Sea(ECS) to assess the radiometric properties and the concentration of the water constituents derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS). Thirteen high quality match-ups were obtained for evaluating the MODIS estimates of Rrs(λ), chlorophyll a(Chl a) and concentrations of suspended particulate sediment matter(SPM). For MODIS Rrs(λ), the mean absolute percentage difference(APD) was in the range of 20%–36%, and the highest uncertainty appeared at 412 nm, whereas the band ratio of Rrs(λ) at 488 nm compared with that at 547 nm was highly consistent, with an APD of 7%. A combination of near-infrared bands and shortwave infrared wavelengths atmosphere correction algorithm(NIR-SWIR algorithm) was applied to the MODIS data, and the estimation accuracy of Rrs were improved at most of the visible spectral bands except 645 nm, 667 nm and 678 nm. Two ocean-colour empirical algorithms for Chl a estimation were applied to the processed data, the results indicated that the accuracy of the derived Chl a values was obviously improved, the four-band algorithms outperformed the other algorithm for measured and simulated datasets, and the minimum APD was 35%. The SPM was also quantified. Two regional and two coastal SPM algorithms were modified according to the in situ data. By comparison, the modified Tassan model had a higher accuracy for the application along the YS and ECS with an APD of 21%. However, given the limited match-up dataset and the potential influence of the aerosol properties on atmosphere correction, further research is required to develop additional algorithms especially for the low Chl a coastal water.

中国近海鲐鱼资源时空分布与海洋净初级生产力的关系研究

海洋净初级生产力影响了浮游动植物的空间分布和丰度,因此决定了海洋渔业的潜在产量。本文根据2006-2015年7-9月中国远洋渔业数据中心提供的中国近海鲐鱼捕捞数据和海洋净初级生产力遥感数据,以单位捕捞努力量渔获量（CPUE）表征资源丰度,以经度和纬度重心表征空间分布,分析研究了鲐鱼资源丰度和空间分布与海洋净初级生产力的关系。研究结果表明,2006-2015年鲐鱼产量、CPUE、经度和纬度重心呈现明显的月份和年际变化,7-9月渔场内净初级生产力空间分布模式不同。频率分布结果表明7-9月鲐鱼对应的适宜净初级生产力浓度范围分别为300~500 mg/（m2·d）（以碳计,下同）,300~400 mg/（m2·d）,300~400 mg/（m2·d）。相关分析结果表明,鲐鱼资源丰度与适宜净初级生产力海域范围比例呈显著正相关,且鲐鱼纬度重心与适宜净初级生产力海域平均纬度呈显著正相关关系,这表明渔场内的净初级生产力大小和分布模式显著影响鲐鱼的资源丰度和渔场重心位置。在鲐鱼主要分布海域25°~30°N,120°~130°E范围内,鲐鱼资源丰度与净初级生产力大小呈显著负相关关系。此外,不同气候条件下鲐鱼渔场净初级生产力大小变化不同,2007年和2010年强拉尼娜年份以及2009年中强厄尔尼诺年份鲐鱼渔场范围海洋净初级生产力降低,但适宜的海洋净初级生产力范围增大,导致鲐鱼资源丰度上升;而2015年超强厄尔尼诺年份鲐鱼渔场范围内海洋净初级生产力上升,但适宜的海洋净初级生产力范围显著减小,因此鲐鱼资源丰度相对降低。研究表明,中国近海鲐鱼资源时空分布与海洋净初级生产力具有显著关联。
