泉州湾水域浮游植物群落的昼夜变化

对福建省泉州湾口、大坠岛以北水域的浮游植物群落作了准同步昼夜连续观测,观测时间分别在2001年11月至2002年8月内的秋(11月)、冬(2月)、春(5月)、夏(8月)季大潮期.结果表明,该水域的叶绿素a生物量(以下简称生物量)受湾内高生物量的影响在潮汐作用下出现波动,高潮期出现低生物量,低潮期出现高生物量.靠近内湾的站位生物量大于湾外的站位;底层水体中的生物量普遍大于表层,底栖硅藻成为生物量变化的重要部分.调查海区生物量呈现昼夜节律变化,生物量白天高于夜间.进一步的分析表明,在潮汐和昼夜变化综合作用下,浮游植物的群落结构发生相应变化,白天的多样性指数低于夜间,浮游植物昼夜群落的不相似度很高.群落中一些种类如中肋骨条藻白天大量增殖,出现较高的优势度,昼夜平均密度比值达到9,变化节律明显.研究认为,尽管海区潮汐和流向左右着生物量变化,浮游植物的生态学过程如细胞增殖、再悬浮、扩散等过程在昼夜生物量变化中仍产生较大作用.     

2004年12月26日印尼地震海啸与全球低温

气候潮汐循环说和海震调温说,阐明了冷气候、强潮汐和强震相互对应的物理机制,对2000年地球进入拉马德雷冷位相后的气候预测有重大科学意义.中国连续18年暖冬的终结是2000年地球进入拉马德雷冷位相和印尼发生地震海啸的合理结果.规律表明,在拉马德雷冷位相时期,全球强震、低温、飓风伴随拉尼娜、全球性流感伴随厄尔尼诺将越来越强烈.在20世纪50~70年代,强沙尘暴年与流感爆发年一一对应,沙尘暴可能传播禽流感。     

不同氮磷比值下浒苔与石莼的竞争作用研究

近年来,海水富营养化导致近海海域大型海藻过量繁殖,成为世界性的环境问题。自2007年以来,浒苔绿潮在黄海海域连续暴发,造成巨大经济损失。为探究浒苔大规模暴发与氮磷比值(N/P)的关系,及其与其他大型绿藻在不同N/P下的竞争机制,研究了浒苔(Ulva prolifera)与石莼(Ulva lactuca)在不同N/P下单独培养和共培养时的生长情况,探究了浒苔及石莼生长的变化;结合苏北浅滩海域现场N/P的调查结果,分析了浒苔绿潮暴发的可能机制。研究结果表明:(1)浒苔单独培养时,在一定范围内高N/P能促进浒苔的生长,氮对于浒苔的影响大于磷。(2)石莼单独培养时,低N/P下石莼长势最好,但改变N/P对石莼的影响并不显著。(3)浒苔和石莼共培养时,浒苔生长受到了一定限制,低N/P下浒苔生长受限更显著。(4)苏北浅滩海域高N/P更适合浒苔的生长,可能是浒苔绿潮能够大规模暴发的原因之一。     

On the “rotational angular momentum” of the oceans and the corresponding polar motion

Periodic polar motions caused by ocean tides are predicted. In the Liouville equations for rotational motion the complete excitation functions for the ocean tides have to be used. This does not depend on the fact that hydrodynamical ocean tide models do not consider the centrifugal acceleration. The observable polar motion of the Celestial Ephemeris Pole CEP (more exactly: the terrestrial location of the CEP) is tabulated for the ten ocean tides M₂, S₂, N₂, K₁, O₁, P₁, M f, M f′, M m, Ssa. Typical amplitudes for the largest ocean tides are 0.4 milliarcseconds. This is within the reach of geodetic VLBI and SLR observations.     

利用多源高度计资料提取南海低模态内潮能量

吕宋海峡由于剧烈变化的地形成为内潮产生的源地,内潮是海洋混合的重要原因。为了认知南海的内潮能通量分布,对南海的内潮有更好的理解,本文利用21世纪以来发射的多颗高度计卫星:J2、J1T、GFO以及EN,提取了吕宋海峡附近内潮的能通量。研究使用了调和分析和高通滤波等方法来提取第一模态内潮,主要提取K_1,K_2,M_2,N_2,O_1,P_1,Q_1和S_2八个分潮。同时结合WOA数据对能通量进行计算。结果表明,目标区域潮汐以全日分潮为主,所选区域的全日分潮中K_1所占比例最大;半日分潮中M_2分潮最强,而内潮的能通量则是M_2分潮所占最大,在吕宋海峡区域M_2能通量为6.45GW。内潮主要产生在地形变化剧烈的地方,海域的大部分地区内潮能量很小。在吕宋海峡中部,全日分潮能通量要小于南部地区,而半日分潮则有较大值。     

Diurnal variation of nitric oxide emission flux from a mangrove wetland in Zhangjiang River Estuary,China

The diurnal variation of nitric oxide (NO) emission fluxes from a Kandelia obovata and Avicennia marina mangrove wetland were studied in the Zhangjiang River Estuary Mangrove National Nature Reserve using a dynamic chamber-based technique and a chemiluminescent analyzer. Results from field experiments show that NO emission from K. obovata and A. marina sampling sites reached maximal values of 1.07 ng N m⁻² s⁻¹ and 1.23 ng N m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively after the night tide. Meanwhile NO emission maintained at a steady lower level in daytime for both wetland sites. In laboratory experiments, NO emission from the mangrove wetland soil samples treated with simulated tides in the darkness exhibited higher values than those in the light, therefore it seems that tides and darkness could increase NO emission from mangrove wetlands, while intensive light, high temperature, and dryness in the daytime decreased NO emission. Compared with K. obovata soil samples, the diurnal average NO emission rate of the A. marina site was significantly higher, which was closely related to relatively higher diurnal average CO₂ emission rate, soil available nitrogen content and soil net nitrification rate of the A. marina site. Moreover, soil samples of the A. marina site were more responsive to simulated tides and the addition of nitrogen than those of the K. obovata site.     

Behavioural adaptations in talitrids from two Atlantic beaches

The aim of the present study was to test sun orientation and rhythmic activity of two sandhopper populations from two Atlantic macro-tidal beaches. A population from Le Verger beach (orientated to 346°, Ille et Vilaine, Brittany, France) and a population from Damgan (orientated to 195°, Morbihan, Brittany, France), were tested on the beach under clear sky discriminating for landscape vision. For both populations locomotor activity rhythm was recorded in the laboratory. The two beaches differed for climatic features, tidal range and for human use. Both talitrid populations resulted very well orientated toward the shoreline, and both used solar position and landscape vision to orient. However the multiple regression analysis of orientation with climatic features showed a different use of local cues by the two populations and a slight influence of tidal regime (ebbing and rising tide), in spite of the supralittoral zonation of sandhoppers. In the laboratory they showed a well defined rhythmic behaviour as well as a bimodal rhythmicity, explained as a tidal one. These results are a new brick in the complex picture of orientation and rhythm studies on sandy beach invertebrates.     

建筑群负荷引起的大地水准面起伏及对高程的影响(英文)

The paper studies the ground vertical deformation and the geoid undulation caused by loading of neighboring buildings, based on the loading tides theory. The influence on elevation is also considered. The results show that the ground vertical deformation and the geoid undulation both reach millimeter magnitude. Therefore, it is obvious that the building loading significantly affects the precise engineering surveying, and it must be seriously considered in application.      

Topographic instability and multiple equilibria on an f-plane

Abstract

The flow of a two-layer flow in a rotating channel on an f-plane over topography with sinusoidal variation of height in a direction parallel to the flow is investigated. When the two layers flow in opposite directions a resonance is found when the topographic scale matches the free mode of the system. We examine the stability of the forced mode in the vicinity of this resonance by means of a perturbation expansion of the topographic height. Both subresonant and super-resonant instabilities are found and their equilibration is examined. For small values of the dissipation multiple equilibria are found. The topographic drag releases potential energy even when the flow is baroclinically stable.
