Distribution and dispersal of the early larval stages of the Japanese spiny lobster Panulirus japonicus in the East China Sea

The annual distribution and dispersal of early‐stage phyllosoma of the Japanese spiny lobster Panulirus japonicus were examined in the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan off western Japan. Early‐stage larvae were sampled mainly in summer and relatively near the coast off western Kyusyu Island. Few larvae were found in the other three seasons in the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan. This finding suggests that P. japonicus larvae are retained in coastal areas for a few months after hatching until stage V and are transported offshore until autumn, before they grow to stage VI. Examination of archival drifter data off western Kyusyu Island during the spawning season of P. japonicus supported the relatively rapid dispersal of the larvae from the East China Sea near Japan to the Pacific Ocean or the Sea of Japan. Larval transport from the East China Sea to the Pacific Ocean, which is considered to be a main distribution area of middle‐ and late‐stage larvae, would occur in the south at approximately 32–33°N in the East China Sea near western Kyusyu Island.  相似文献   

The time-delayed solar cycle luminosity modulation by sub-surface magnetic flux tubes     

Hirokazu Yoshimura 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1994,315(3):189-203

In order to explore the mechanism of the solar cycle luminosity change observed by the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor (ACRIM) I experiment on board of the spacecraft Solar Maximum Mission, we examined running mean time profiles of the daily ACRIM data from the declining phase of solar cycle 21 to the rising phase of solar cycle 22. By comparing them with those of the daily sunspot number, integrated surface magnetic field flux, integrated He I 10830 Å line equivalent width data, and two kinds of data sets of the daily integrated Ca II K line index as indices of the surface magnetic activities, we found (i) that the running mean time profiles of the six independent data sets have several peaks and valleys in common in one solar cycle with time intervals on the order of a few hundreds of days, and (ii) that the peaks and valleys of the ACRIM data profiles followed the peaks and valleys of all the other five indices of the surface activities by 40 to 60 days. This time delay phenomenon suggests (i) that the luminosity modulation was not directly caused by dark and bright features of the surface magnetic activities that the other five indices represent, and (ii) that the missing sunspot radiative flux which was blocked by sub-surface magnetic flux tubes of sunspots and sunspot groups should be re-radiated 40 to 60 days after the surface emergence of the magnetic flux tubes. The concept of the time delay resolves the enigma of the missing sunspot radiative flux and the enigma of the ACRIM experiment that the luminosity dropped when a sunspot or a sunspot group appeared on the surface while the yearly mean of the luminosity decreased and increased along with the decrease and increase of the yearly sunspot number of the 11-year solar cycle. A model of the mechanism to understand these phenomena is presented and its application to other stars is suggested.  相似文献   

The 100—year periodic modulation of solar rotation     

H. Yoshimura  M. A. Kambry 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1993,314(1):9-19

A periodic long-term modulation of the solar surface rotation with a time scale on the order of 100 years is found in the sunspot data from 1874 to 1992 obtained by combinig the Greenwich Photoheliographic Results from cycle 11 to cycle 20 analysed by Balthasar, Vázquez, and Wöhl and the Mitaka sunspot sketch data from cycle 18 to 22 of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan which was the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory of the University of Tokyo until 1988. A new index of the solar rotation M defined by integrating the angular momentum density over the whole surface, which we call the angular momentum surface layer density, reached a maximum at solar cycle 14, decreased to a minimum at cycle 17, and then increased to reach another maximum at cycle 21. The increase of M means acceleration of the surface layer as a whole by transport of angular momentum from the deeper layer. This implies an decrease (increase) of the radial gradient of the differential rotation if the basic radial gradient of the differential rotation increases (decreaes) inward. The decrease of M means deceleration of the surface layer and implies an increase (decrease) of the radial gradient. The degree of the equatorial acceleration of the surface differential rotation is also found to have undergone the same 100 year periodic modulation during the same interval, reaching a minimum at cycle 14, a maximum at cycle 17, and a minimum at cycle 21 in antiphase with the modulation of M. Thus both radial and latitudinal gradients of the differential rotation increased and decreased in phase (in anti-phase) if the basic radial gradient increases (decreases) inward.  相似文献
