Tidal effects on estuarine circulation and outflow plume in the Chesapeake Bay     

Xinyu Guo  Arnoldo Valle-Levinson 《Continental Shelf Research》2007

The response of the Chesapeake Bay to river discharge under the influence and absence of tide is simulated with a numerical model. Four numerical experiments are examined: (1) response to river discharge only; (2) response to river discharge plus an ambient coastal current along the shelf outside the bay; (3) response to river discharge and tidal forcing; and (4) response to river discharge, tidal forcing, and ambient coastal current. The general salinity distribution in the four cases is similar to observations inside the bay. Observed features, such as low salinity in the western side of the bay, are consistent in model results. Also, a typical estuarine circulation with seaward current in the upper layer and landward current in the lower layer is obtained in the four cases. The two cases without tide produce stronger subtidal currents than the cases with tide owing to greater frictional effects in the cases with tide. Differences in salinity distributions among the four cases appear mostly outside the bay in terms of the outflow plume structure. The two cases without tide produce an upstream (as in a Kelvin wave sense) or northward branch of the outflow plume, while the cases with tide produce an expected downstream or southward plume. Increased friction in the cases with tide changes the vertical structure of outflow at the entrance to the bay and induces large horizontal variations in the exchange flow. Consequently, the outflow from the bay is more influenced by the bottom than in the cases without tide. Therefore, a tendency for a bottom-advected plume appears in the cases with tide, rather than a surface-advected plume, which develops in the cases without tide. Further analysis shows that the tidal current favors a salt balance between the horizontal and vertical advection of salinity around the plume and hinders the upstream expansion of the plume outside the bay.  相似文献

长庆气田奥陶系风化壳气藏、气源研究   总被引：22，自引：4，他引：18  

戴金星  夏新宇 《地学前缘》1999,6(Z1):195-203

对10年来长庆气田奥陶系风化充气藏气源问题存在的不同观点（上古生界煤成气和奥陶系海相碳酸盐岩气何者为主）及相应的证据进行了总结和讨论,认为“奥陶系自生自储为主”的观点对地质和地球化学现象的解释存在疑问,包括用次要组分来判别混源天然气的主要来源,用不确切的端员气地球化学特征来计算混源比,对本溪组底部岩石的封盖性和下奥陶统碳酸盐岩的原始生烃潜力评价偏高,忽略了石炭系存在能够生成油型气的海相源岩。因此,长庆气田不能作为海相贫有机质的碳酸盐岩生成的大、中型油气田的实例。根据天然气及气源岩的地球化学特征,提出长庆气田奥陶系风化壳气藏气是以上古生界煤成气为主、石炭系海相源岩生成的油型气为辅的混合气。  相似文献   

相似变换在大比例尺地形图的投影换带中的应用     

房新玉  闻道秋  张秀梅  李娜 《现代测绘》2006,29(6):36-38,48

在大比例尺地形图的使用过程中，会遇地形图的坐标系变换，需要把中央子午线为L1的坐标系的地形图转换成中央子午线为L2的坐标系的地形图，称之为地形图投影变换。目前许多地形图是以电子地图形式存在的，是通过AUTOCAD软件形成的。基于此，本文提出了适用于AutoCAD中地形图投影换带的方法：相似变换法。即在满足精度要求的情况下，利用相似变换原理，对AutoCAD中的地形图进行平移，旋转，缩放变换，最终将其变换到需要的坐标系内。  相似文献

通过模拟轨道，利用动力法对星载加速度计校准进行了研究。用不同参考重力场模型获得的校准参数分别重新积分卫星轨道，与模拟轨道的差异最大可达m级。结果表明，参考重力场模型误差对加速度计校准的影响不可忽略，在校准加速度计的同时应解算重力场模型，以削弱模型误差的影响。  相似文献

A recent island survey reveals that the Xuande Atoll and the Yongle Atoll in the Xisha Islands can be classified into one of two systems: the depleted atoll system and growth atoll system; the survey also indicates that the decreased area of several shoals is an unbearable burden for the Xisha Islands, of which the largest island area is 2.13 km2 and the minimum elevation is 1.4 m. According to a survey on the ecological characteristics of Halimeda in the Laolongtou breaker zone of Shidao Island in the Xisha Islands, the green and white living Halimeda are collected,the isotopic ages of 14 C contained in the Halimeda are shown to be 27 years and 55 years, respectively, and carbonate mainly occurs in five types, i.e., luster, segment, sand, sand grain, and marl in the formation. The Halimeda segments mainly provide the carbonate sediments of long-term biogenic deposits in the reef environment and the annual productivity per area is 60–100 g/m2; the characteristics of the microstructure of the Halimeda are analyzed, the aragonite raphide carbonate is deposited and enriched in the cortexes, medullas and cysts, and the Halimeda generally contain major elements such as C, O, Ca, Cl, Mg, K, Na, S and Al, and are rich in trace elements such as tellurium(Te), rhodium(Rh) and strontium. It is believed that the Halimeda grow slowly,including the biotic community of reef corals in the reef areas, thus they possess an environmental remediation capacity, but it takes much time to remedy the environment, and it is necessary to make the law to protect the diversity and vulnerability of the Xisha marine ecology, the ecology of the reef community and the island environment in a scientific way. As indicated in the survey, under the background of global warming and sea-level rise, the discovery of large amounts of Halimeda in the Laolongtou sea area is significant for the natural increase of the depleted atoll system of the Xuande Atoll, while the Halimeda segments represent the primary form of the fossil Halimeda, of which the species can be identified and preserved in great numbers under geological conditions. The Miocene was discovered in large amounts in the Xichen-1 well, therefore the study on the characteristics and mechanism of Halimeda carbonate sediments plays a pivotal role in the formation and construction of organic reefs in the South China Sea as well as oil and gas exploration.  相似文献
