东南极普里兹湾1990年1—2月大风过程与气旋和锋面活动分析

本文用澳大利亚墨尔本气象中心,苏联南极青年站地面天气图和NOAA-10,NOAA-11极轨卫星云图确定了东南极普里兹湾及其附近海域1990年1—2月份气旋中心位置;讨论了这些气旋的活动特征。分析了实测大风对应的天气系统,天气形势和卫星云图特征,指出普里兹湾沿海存在气旋、锋面以及锋面云和气旋先后相继的影响。锋面及锋面、气旋先后相继影响与500hPa上的强高压脊天气形势、强风与锋面带中纹理非常不均匀区域有密切关系。

ECOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON COLOURED LAYER OF COASTAL FAST ICE IN GREAT WALL BAY, KING GEORGE ISLAND, ANTARCTICA

Marine biological and environmental investigations were carried out on the coastatl waters off Great Wall Station (62°13's, 58°58'W) on King George Island, Antarctica, from November 17, 1988, to March 3,1989. Coastal fast ice covered inner part of Great Wall Bay until mid-December 1988, which allowed us to take ice core sampling and observations from mid-November to early December 1988. During this period, ice thickness ranged from 90 to 70cm with baout 20cm of snow cover. About 5cm brown layer occured in the middle part of fast ice core collected on November 20, 1988 at site 2, and two brown layers occured in the interior of ice core collected on November 17,20 and 26, 1988 at site 5.In comparison to the water column, chlorophyll-a concentration in fast ice was higher, which ranged from 2.55 to 56.84mg/m8, and most of them were concentracted in the interior layers of sea ice rather than in the bottom layer often observed in other sea ice areas, such as in Syowa, Davis, Casey Station and McMurdo Sound areas, etc. This might be a result of the difference in structure and formation procese of sea ice.Meanwhile, temperature, transparency, nutrients and chlorophyll-a in water column were measured. Microalgal assemblages both in fast ice and water column of Great Wall Bay were reported.
