Backscatter reflectivity from multibeam echo-sounders provides a powerful tool to efficiently characterize seafloor substrates. A comprehensive EM300 bathymetric and backscatter survey has been completed of Cook Strait, in central New Zealand. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the realtime corrections applied to the raw EM300 multibeam data and additional corrections required to compute angular variations of the backscatter strength. The corrections, including the local absorption coefficient, the influence of seafloor topography and sound refraction in the water column, are determined for different Cook Strait seafloor substrates. Modifying MB-System software code, we extracted the backscatter signal parameters in order to quantify the raw backscatter strength and apply additional processing. Profiles of backscatter strength versus incidence angle were computed for a variety of sites characterized by flat seafloor and homogeneous substrates, and for which ground-truth data were available. For each homogeneous site, different but characteristic backscatter profiles are observed that can be interpreted in terms of sediment facies. To analyze heterogeneous substrates, we present a statistical technique, based on a 3-dimensional distribution of (incidence angle, backscatter strength) couples that preserves geological information of the substrate components. This analysis, using backscatter data acquired on a submarine volcano, north of New Zealand, clearly differentiates soft sediments and lava flows within a heterogeneous substrate.  相似文献   

Thickening of the oceanic layer in the Pacific Ocean     

J. Goslin  P. Beuzart  J. Francheteau  X. Le Pichon 《Marine Geophysical Researches》1972,1(4):418-427

A statistical analysis of published seismic refraction results in the Pacific Ocean confirms the existence of a progressive thickening of the oceanic layer with age, following an inverse exponential law. There is no strong indication in the Pacific data of an increase in the thickness of layer 2 with decreasing spreading rate.Contribution No. 93 of the Département Scientifique of the Centre Océanologique de Bretagne, B.P. 337, 29200, Brest, France.  相似文献   

长江三峡工程对长江口外流场的影响     

乐肯堂 《海洋科学集刊》1992,(33):37-50

长江三峡枢纽工程是综合开发利用长江水利资源的一项举世瞩目的大工程，建成后将对我国社会主义建设带来巨大的经济效益。但是，也必须考虑到它对长江下游流域以至河口及其邻近海域的生态环境带来的影响。因此，必须在工程建设之前进行深入研究。 根据“三峡工程对长江河口区生态与环境的影响和对策”这一课题的要求，本文就三峡工程对长江口区流场的影响作一初步分析。  相似文献

研究区位于1964～1976年黄河由刁口流路入海时形成的三角洲潮坪.为进行石油开采在潮坪上构筑的交通设施对波浪形成了良好的屏障,水动力条件具有显著差异的屏障两侧潮坪是研究潮坪特征对水动力条件响应的天然实验场所.在屏障两侧各选择一典型区,实测地貌形态,取样品进行粒度成分分析,根据实测资料分析确定潮坪分形特征.发现水动力环境的强弱决定着潮坪的形貌、沉积物粒度分维值的变化规律.水动力环境强的一侧潮坪滩面分维值高,且随着初始计算网格宽度增大迅速降维;表层沉积物粒度分维值小,且离散性大.相反,在另一侧潮坪滩面分维值低,且随着初始计算网格宽度增大分维值无显著变化;表层沉积物粒度分维值高,且具有较好的一致性.当初始计算网格宽度增大到某个值时,两侧潮坪形貌分维值渐趋一致.在屏障两侧各沿一条与屏障大角度相交的测线取样,并各选择一点采取不同深度的样品做分析计算,发现在水动力条件弱的一侧,样品的粒度分维值表现为远离屏障逐步降维、随深度增加分维值增大的规律;相反一侧粒度分维值变化的规律性很不明显.讨论了水动力环境对潮坪分形特征影响机理.  相似文献

南海海面高度季节变化的数值模拟   总被引：8，自引：1，他引：8  

刘秦玉  杨海军  贾英来  甘子钧 《海洋学报》2001,23(2):9-17

比较POM模式模拟与观测(TOPEX/Poseidon高度计资料)的南海海面高度(SSH)的季节变化在空间分布上的一致性和差异.结果表明:本文使用的POM模式能较好地模拟南海SSH的季节变化;冬季与夏季,春季与秋季南海海面异常场形式完全相反,冬季Ekman输运造成在西海岸的堆积要比夏季在东海岸堆积更明显,而吕宋冷涡中心附近和吕宋海峡海面季节变化振幅最大;除春季以外,在南海绝大部分海域,海面高度的季节变化主要受风力的控制,南海海面热量通量对SSH的季节变化贡献约为20%,风应力对SSH的季节变化的贡献约为80%.  相似文献   

清水沟流路期间黄河三角洲区潮波运动的模拟和预测     

乐肯堂  刘兴泉  郝琰  于康玲 《海洋科学集刊》2001,(43):13-24

为了探讨黄河三角洲附近潮波运动的变化特征，乐肯堂等(1995)用二维数值模式模拟了1855-1984年该海区的潮汐和潮流的分布变化，并着重考察了M2和S2分潮的无潮点，以及规则全日潮区的位置变化。乐肯堂等(1995)的研究表明，黄河尾闾的摆动以及由此而造成的黄河三角洲之进退，是该海区潮波特征发生变化的主要外因。自从1976年黄河尾闾改道清水沟以来，该流路已稳定运行了20多年，由此造成了河口附近沙嘴不断向莱州湾内延伸，因而对该区的潮波分布特征产生了显著影响。从黄河三角洲区的经济可持续发展和海洋生态环境的可持续发展的目的出发来规划今后黄河尾闾的走向，就必须对以下两个问题进行深入研究：(1)清水沟流路是否还能长期稳定下去；(2)如果清水沟流路长期稳定不变，并且按照清水沟流路期间黄河三角洲向莱州湾推进的方式来推演10a后黄河三角洲的形势，那么到2010年该区的潮波运动将会发生什么变化。为此，在本文中我们仍然采用乐肯堂等(1995)已经过验证的数值模式和数值预的方法对上述问题作初步探讨。  相似文献   

Isolation and characterisation of pristane metabolites formed in vivo by rainbow trout     

J.P. Cravedi  A.-M. Le Bon  J. Tulliez 《Marine environmental research》1985,17(2-4)

Pristane (2,6,10,14 -tetramethylpentadecane) occurs ubiquitously in the marine environment. This hydrocarbon may be of biogenic or petrogenic origin.¹ Recently it has been shown that residual amounts of this branched alkane increased in marine organisms after an oil spill.^2,3 The lack of data on the fate of pristane in fish, added with the fact that this compound was considered by some authors as a non-metabolisable substance in vertebrates, including man,⁴ led us to investigate the capability of fish to metabolise pristane. In this study, urinary and fecal excretion, tissue distribution and metabolism of ³H-pristane were analysed in Salmo gairdneri R. after a single intragastric dose. In addition to unchanged hydrocarbon, various labelled compounds have been isolated and identified in liver, bile, faeces, urine and surrounding water, demonstrating that pristane was first oxidised to alcohols (pristanol and pristane-diol) and to acid (pristanic acid). The elimination of these compounds occurred in the form of conjugated products (primarily glucuronides) as well as free metabolites.  相似文献
