On the circuit and propagation of El Niño/La Niña signals
QIAO Fang-li, YU Wei-dong, YUAN Ye-li
2004, 26(4): 1-8.
Abstract:
Based on the T/P altimeter dataset between October 1992 and December 2000,the circuit of El Niño/La Niña signals are studied.(1) In El Niño cases,positive sealevel anomaly(SLA) signals propag ate eastward from equatorial west to east in the Pacific.After reaching the coastal area,the signals go to polar directions along the eastern boundary and continuously generate westward propag ating Rossby waves.In the period of El Niño,the fact that the signal of the Rossby waves is the strongest near 10°N suggests that an signal circuit bounded by the equator and 10°N exists.The other El Niño signal circuit bounded by the equator and 10°S also exists,however relatively weak compared with its northern counterpart.Westward La Niña signals mainly are located in the channels centered 5°N and 7°S respectively.Westw ard seasonal signals mainly are located in the three channels centered at 6°N,10°N and 8°S respectively.(2) Two kinds of signals,fast and slow,transport El Niño information from East to West Pacific at the same latitude.The phase speed of the slow one with wavelength of 700~800 km is consistent with that of Rossby wave.The basin scale signals propagate so fast that it should be the oceanic response to atmospheric anomaly.

KONG Ya-zhen, HE Song-lin, DING Ping-xing, HU Ke-lin
2004, 26(4): 9-18.
Abstract:
Large scale hydrological observations in the Changjiang Estuary have been respectively carried out in February and July,2003.The survey range extends from Jiangyin to -20 m iso depth out of the mouth,and the measuring stations distribute in four outlets.Field observations show that:(1) temporal and spatial variation of salinity is mainly controlled run off discharge,flow distribution ratio of the outlets,tidal range and geomorphologic situation;(2) the order from high to low for the distribution of salinity is the North Branch,South Passage,North Passage,and the North Channel;(3) the saltwater flows backwards from the North Branch to the South Branch during the dry season,but more than half section of the North Branch is still held by freshwater during the flood season;the mouth sector of the North Channel,where tidal variation of salinity is major and seasonal variation is minor,has stratified interface between saltwater and freshwater;the South Passage,where tidal variation of salinity is minor and seasonal variation is major,is characteristic of mid strongly mixed type;and the situation of the North Passage is between situations of the North Channel and the South Passage;(4) the temporal and spatial variation of salinity reflects that flow distribution ratio to the North Branch,the North Channel and the South Passage increases to a certain extent in the flood season.
Study on hydrodynamic environment of the Bohai Sea,the Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea with wave-current coupled numerical model
HU Hao-guo, YUAN Ye-li, WAN Zhen-wen
2004, 26(4): 19-32.
Abstract:
Based on wave-current coupled numerical model,circulation and tide in the Huanghai Sea and the East China Sea are studied simultaneously.The model simulated the observed seasonal currents and main characteristics,in particular,Changjiang diluted water route in the East China Sea,the cold water mass and thermocline in the Huanghai Sea in summer,the winter and summer circulation in the Bohai Sea,Huanghai Sea and East China Sea.As the result shown,the temperature of upper and bottom layers tends to be uniform by the mixing of wave and tidal mixing,respectively,which are main dynamical mechanism to form thermocline.The modeled vertical temperature structure coincides well with the observations.
Numerical experiments on interaction between the tropical Pacific and the Indian Ocean through the wind-stress “bridge”
ZHAO Shan-shan, YANG Xiu-qun
2004, 26(4): 33-48.
Abstract:
Intermediate tropical atmospheric and oceanic models were used to study the interaction between the tropical Pacific and the Indian Ocean through the wind-stress "bridge".In the control run,the observed SST for 1958~1998 was used to force the atmospheric model generating the surface wind-stress,which was then used to force the oceanic model with the surface heat flux taken from NCEP reanalysis to reproduce the SST.Two parallel sensitivity runs are the same as the control run except for the SST used to force the atmospheric model which was prescribed with climatology in the tropical Pacific and in the tropical Indian Ocean,respectively.The difference between the control and sensitivity runs indicates effect of the SST anomaly(SSTA) in a specific oceanic basin on the other basin through the wind-stress bridge.Such numerical experiments suggest the following results.A positive(negative) SST A in a basin generally produces a westerly(easterly) anomaly in the west and an easterly(westerly) anomaly in the east of the basin.A positive SST A in the tropical Pacific induces an easterly anomaly in the tropical Indian Ocean,which results in a weak positive interannual SST A and a weak negative interdecadal SST A in the tropical Indian Ocean;and vice versa.A positive SST A in the tropical Indian Ocean induces an easterly anomaly in the tropical Pacific Ocean,which results in a negative SST A on both the inter annual and interdecadal times cales in the tropical Pacific,and viceversa.Considering the observational fact that the SSTA in the tropical Indian Ocean is more influenced by the tropical Pacific and that the SSTA with the same polarity in the former basin always follows the latter basin,the results suggest a negative feedback role of the tropical Indian Ocean in the tropical Pacific SSTA,which is more obvious on the interdecadal times cale.
Study of chemical forms of phosphorus and their bioavailability in the sediments
ZHENG Ai-rong, SHEN Hai-wei, LI Wen-quan
2004, 26(4): 49-57.
Abstract:
Chemical forms of phosphorus in the sediments at the Daya Bay,the Zhujiang River Estuary,and the Xiamen Bay were measured with extraction solutions of MgCl2,NaOH,and HCl.Their availabilities to Chlorella sp.and Isochrysis galbana were estimated by using sediments as the sole source of P in the bioassays.The results show that the contents of total phosphorus(T P) in these sediments are 449.3,650.1 and 643.9 mg/kg,respectively.The contents of non-apatite inorganic P(NAIP) extracted with MgCl2 and NaOH in three sediments are 168.8,146.6 and 118.1 mg/kg,respectively,and account for 18.3%~32.6% of TP.The phosphorus extracted with HCl solution is greater than that extracted with NaOH solution,whereas the lowest extracted P is MgCl2-extractable P.The greatest relative growth rates of Chlorella sp.and Isochrysis galbana cultured with sediments are in the range of 4.3%~26.9%.The increasing biomasses of these algae are corresponding to NAIP and AA PP(the estimated alg al-available particulate P).AAPP accounts for 42.4%~78.2% of NA IP,21.1%~27.1% of total inorganic P,and 11.8%~20.3% of T P,respectively.

2004, 26(4): 58-64.
Abstract:
After the treatment and analysis of in-situ water samples taken from the Jiaozhou Bay on 1~2,September 1999 in the laboratory,the horizontal distributions and data of 6 kinds of biochemical components in marine yellow substance solution are obtained,among which the total fats measured in the treated solution of yellow substance are 21.03 mg/dm3,exactly,86.90% of the all-up amount of the biochemical components in yellow substance;the amino acids are 1.75 mg/dm3,accounting for 7.22%;and the total sugars 1.41 mg/dm3,5.82%;the amino sugars 14.23 g/dm3,0.06%;and the contents of carotenes and phenols are 1.13 and 0.004 g/dm3,respectively,while the total amounts of yellow substance make up about 24.20 mg/dm3 of the total water amounts.Comparatively speaking,the contents of the amino sugars,carotenes and phenols in the solution are very low,which are several orders of magnitude less than those of total fats,amino acids and total sugars,respectively.It is concluded that the yellow substance in the Jiaozhou Bay mainly derives from the land,its component distributions are affected by the rivers to the bay and the current in the bay,then further diffused and carried away.

HAN Xi-qiu, LI Jia-biao, WANG Ying, ZHANG Wei-yan, MA Wei-lin, HE Gao-wen
2004, 26(4): 65-70.
Abstract:
The fractal evolution processes of geochemistrical series of the polymetallic no dule Sample 1783 are studied through computing their correlation dimensions in different embedding spaces.The results are compared with those obtained from the deep-sea sediment Core 1787.It is revealed that there are fractal attractors in the geochemistrical series of both the nodule and the sediment core,the Fe2O3 and MnO in sediment core can be descr ibed with 3 variables,which probably are volcanic,biogenic and terrestrial sources.However,it needs at least 14 variables to describe Fe and Mn in polymetallic nodules,which implies that the sources and/or existence of these elements in nodule are very complicated,at least 14 factors affecting,and complicated biochemical processes probably have taken place during the for mation of nodules.So the studies of the fractal evolution of Fe and Mn in polymetallic nodules may provide indirect mathematic evidence for the biogenic origin of nodules,and also give the rhythmic micro-structure of nodules a reaso nable explanation.

CHEN Jian-lin, MA Wei-lin, WU Guang-hai, CHU Feng-you, GAO Shui-tu
2004, 26(4): 71-79.
Abstract:
The features of texture and structures,mineral and chemical compositions of substrate rocks and cobaltcrusts in the Mid-Pacific Mountains are identified and analysed.The results indicate that the major types of substrate rocks are alkaline basalt,phosphorite,phosphatized carbonate rocks and cherts in this area.In the above-mentioned rocks,the alkaline basalt is the most widespread one,and has been weathered to some extent.The observation has shown that the carrier of cobaltcrust can be all kinds of rocks.The thickness of crusts on basalts,weathered volcanic rocks,etc.is greater than that of cherts.The thicker crusts have more economic value and are major objects for dressing and smelting.The cobal-trich crusts in the research area can be divided into three types according to the shape:plate,gravel-like and nodule-like crust.The relationships between crusts and substrate rocks have been probed from the following four aspects:(1) the characteristics of major metallic elements content in seaw ater,substrate rocks and crusts;(2) the different close relations between different bedrocks and crusts by cluster analysis; (3) the distribution characteristics of crusts;(4) the influence of rock types on the growth of crusts.The conclusion is that volcanic rock,phosphorite,etc.contribute to the formation of the crust.
