Transgressions and the sea-level changes of the western Taiwan Strait since the Late Pleistocene

The sedimentary sequences since the Late Pleistocene can be divided into Layers E, D, C, B, A from old to young according to systematic analysis of grain-size, pollen and spore, diatom, foraminifera, radiocarbon dating and paleogeomagnetism of 16 sedimentary cores from the sea area of the western Taiwan Strait. The results proved the existences of the Langqi transgression (upper section of Layer D) formed in middle and late stages of early Wurm glacial period, Fuzhou transgression (Layer C) formed in Wurm sub-interglacial period and Changle transgression (Layer A) formed in postglacial period. It was also the first time to discover the Jinmen transgression (Layer E) formed in Riss -Wurm interglacial period. In this paper it is proposed that most part of the Taiwan Strait emerged as land in the early stage of early Wurm glacial period, and was still under sublittoral environment in late Wurm glacial period, as well as the existence of Dongshan Continental Bridge was in 8×103 a BP.     

台湾海峡及其邻近地区的地震海啸与海溢

台湾海峡及其邻区,历史上曾发生过多次海水暴涨。在剔除那些因台风暴雨而引起的海水暴涨外,本区自公元647年以来共发生9次,本文按其形成把它划分为地震海啸和地震海溢两种类型,通过对地质构造、震源机制和地球物理资料等方面阐述其成因条件。认为地震海啸可分布在台湾海峡内,而地震海啸只能分布在台湾东北部海域;在地震海溢中,震级(M)和它影响的距离(△)关系为:M=5.892+0.019△。     

台湾海峡1989年初冬海面温度场和流系的卫星遥感初析

应用NOAA卫星AVHRR热红外遥感数据,通过计算机运算处理获得的海面温度专题图象,对台湾海峡及其邻近海域1989年初冬海面温度场及流系(黑潮、台湾暖流、浙闽沿岸流、南海暖流及台湾浅滩上升流)进行初步分析,利用卫星遥感手段佐证了过去用传统海面船测方法得出的一些结论,并获得了一些与过去有异的结果,得出1989年初冬浙闽沿岸流可达福建泉州湾和厦门港附近等结论,同时发现了该海域流系边界形成的几处波长在30～100km不等的切变波.     

台湾浅滩初夏的暖水块和周围的冷水圈

本文根据1986年6月4日的卫星图像,分析了台湾浅滩及附近海域初夏表面水温分布状况,指出初夏在台湾浅滩上存在着暖水块,而其周围为冷水圈。文中计算了研究海区的潮混合状态,认为潮混合对形成这种特殊水文现象起主导作用。

The role of the Iceland Ice Sheet in the North Atlantic during the late Quaternary: a review and evidence from Denmark Strait

Investigations indicate that the Iceland Ice Sheet was reduced in size during MIS 3 but readvanced to the shelf break at the LGM. Retreat occurred very rapidly around 15 k–16 k cal. yr BP. By contrast, the margin of the ice sheet on the East Greenland shelf, north of the Denmark Strait, was at or close to the shelf break during MIS 3 and 2 and retreat starting ～17 k cal. yr BP. Quantitative X‐ray diffraction analysis of the <2 mm sediment fraction was undertaken on 161 samples from Iceland and East Greenland diamictons, and from cores on the slopes and margins of the Denmark Strait. Weight% mineralogical data are used in a principal component analysis to differentiate sediments derived from the two margins. The first two PC axes explain 52% of the variance. These associations are used to characterise sediments as being affiliated with (a) Iceland, (b) East Greenland or (c) mixed. The contribution from Iceland becomes prominent during MIS 2. The extensive outcrop of early Tertiary basalts on East Greenland between 68° and 71° N is an alternative source for basaltic clasts and North Atlantic sediments with εNd(0) values close to ±0.

福建省基于闽台互动的产业与空间结构调整研究

在经济转型条件下,福建省产业和空间结构调整的依据需建立在三个层面上:一是从全球产业大转型中寻求机遇,确立自身发展的整体战略;二是从台海关系这一地缘政治、经济格局的新变局中寻求新的经济增长点并以此为依据重构空间结构;三是从地方空间层面寻求自身的优势,在协调好区域间分工关系的前提下,寻求省域产业和空间结构与上述两个层次的有机耦合。在这三个层面上,台海关系是控制产业与空间结构调整的核心。台海关系加速朝良性发展的新形势以及福建省的独特区位优势决定了福建的产业和空间结构调整必须建立在闽台互动基础之上。高效农业、电子、汽车和石化等重点产业的选择和流动空间—承转空间—地方空间—辐射空间等有机秩序空间系统的建立可以促进闽台产业、空间互动,并最终实现闽台一体化、构建台海经济区的国家战略目标。     

南海环流动力机制研究综述

南海的环流复杂,但通过近20 a来的研究工作,国内外学者对此已取得了不少的成果.本文就南海环流框架性的问题,综述了有关的文献,认为对南海上层海洋三方面的环流分量的驱动机制已有了初步的认识.这三方面分别是:(1)准季节性风场;(2)黑潮向南海的净输运;(3)黑潮向南海的涡度平流输送.但是对这些驱动的时空变化仍相当不清楚.三者皆增强了南海北部的海盆尺度气旋式环流,其强化的西南向西边界流靠近东沙群岛,建议称为“东沙海流”.没有水文证据显示黑潮水是以分支形式进入南海,其向南海的输运也不可能主要通过中尺度涡过程,具体机制有待研究.每年在南海生成的中尺度涡平均约有10个,风场与沿岸地形所生成的强风应力旋度可能是其主要的驱动机制.作为框架性的认识,也有三方面的工作进行得较少,即:(1)吕宋海峡的上层水交换;(2)南海的中尺度涡生成机制,虽然强风应力旋度及前述的第三种环流驱动机制也有中尺度涡伴生;(3)自吕宋海峡进入的深层水对南海上层海洋环流的影响.
