Mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea and their impact on temperature profiles

Some life history statistics of the mesoscale eddies of the South China Sea (SCS) derived from altimetry data will be further discussed according their different formation periods.A total of three ATLAS (autonomous temperature line acquisition system)mooring buoys data will be analyzed to discuss eddies‘ impact on temperature profiles.They identify that the intraseasonal variation of SCS thermocline is partly controlled by mesoscale eddies.

黑潮水入侵南海的水文分析：Ⅱ.1994年8—9月期间的观测结果

利用１９９４年８－９月期间，由台湾海峡两岸的４艘海洋调查船在南海东北部海域所获之ＣＴＤ和ＡＤＣＰ资料，并结合１９９２年３月间在同一海域获取的ＣＴＤ资料及部分历史水文资料，对该区域的海水特性以及黑潮水入侵南海等问题进行了分析探讨。     

船上气温、湿度和风速观测的代表性

当前我国有许多海洋气象调查船、商船和遥测气象浮标站的甲板上安装有气温、湿度和风速测量仪器，其中不少仪器本身测量精度是符合要求的，可是在船上使用能否获取符合要求的气象资料，其代表性如何，即是否能准确代表和反映观测船所在地点一定     

水下自航式海洋观测平台技术发展研究

水下自航式海洋观测平台是一种新型海洋观测平台，主要用于无人、大范围、长时间水下环境监测，包括物理学参数、海洋地质学和地球物理学参数，海洋化学参数、海洋生物学参数及海洋工程方面的现场接近观测。其特点是：成本低，环境适应性强，可冲破人工潜水极限而进入现场进行接近观测，免除了ROV需要水面支援母船的累赘，减少作业经费，体积小，使用方便，便于布放回收；可根据水声信号摇控或预置程序控制，按要求进行相关项目观测；有自主动力，水下运行时间相对较长，有源噪声低，可进行隐弊观测，正是基于以上的优点，近几年颇得海洋环境监测和海军方面的青睐，本文介绍了国际上水下自动观测平台的发展历史和现状，提出了我国开展研究水下自动观测平台的重要性及研究的面容。

Prediction of Load Carrying Capacity of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beam

A novel method for prediction of the load carrying capacity of a corroded reinforced concrete beam (CRCB) is presented in the paper. Nine reinforced concrete beams, which had been working in an aggressive environment for more than 10 years, were tested in the laboratory. Comprehensive tests, including flexural test, strength test for corroded concrete and rusty rebar, and pullout test for bond strength between concrete and rebar, were condueted. The flexural test results of CRCBs reveal that the distribution of surface cracks on the beams shows a fractal behavior. The relationship between the fractal dimensions and mechanical properties of CRCBs is then studied. A prediction model based on artificial neural network (ANN) is established by the use of the fractal dimension as the corrosion index, together with the basic intbrmation of the beam. The validity of the prediction model is demonstrated through the experimental data, and satisfactory resuits are achieved.     

In-Situ Observation of Fluid Mud in the North Passage of Yangtze Estuary, China

Observations of fluid mud were made in the lower North Passage of the Yangtze Estuary in February 2000, on 10 -11 August 2000, on 30 - 31 August 2000 (after two strong typhoons), on 21 - 24 August 2000 (neap tide) and on 3 -6 September 2000 (mean tide) respectively. In situ data show that the fluid mud in this area consists of fine cohesive sediment (median size 7.23 μm). The formation and movement of fluid mud varied during the neap-spring and flood-ebb tidal cycle. Observations suggest that fluid mud phenomena in this area may be categorised in a three-fold manner as slack water, storm and saltwedge features. The thickness of the fluid mud layer of slack water during the neap tide ranged from 0.2 to 0.96 m, whereas during the mean tide, the thickness ranged from 0.17 to 0.73 m, and the thickness of the fluid mud layer was larger during slack water than at the flood peak. Shoals cover an area of 800 km^2 with a water depth smaller than 5 m. Erosion of these extensive intertidal mudflats due to storm action provides an abundant sediment source. This is particularly significant in this estuary when the tidal level is lower than 5 m. The lower North Passage is a typical zone of saltwater wedging, so the saltwedge fluid mud has the most extensive spatial range in the estuary.
