Geological Characteristics and Distribution of Submarine Physiographic Features in the Taiwan Region     

Ho-Shing Yu 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2003,21(3):139-153

The sea floor topography around Taiwan is characterized by the asymmetry of its shallow and flat shelves to the west and markedly deep troughs and basins to the south and east. Tectonics and sedimentation are major controls in forming the submarine physiographic features around Taiwan. Three Pliocene-Quaternary shelves are distributed north and west of Taiwan: East China Sea Shelf (passive margin shelf), the Taiwan Strait Shelf (foreland shelf), and Kaoping Shelf (island shelf) from north to south parallel to the strike of Taiwan orogen. Off northeastern Taiwan major morpho/tectonic features associated with plate subduction include E-W trending Ryukyu Trench, Yaeyama accretionary wedge, forearc basins, the Ryukyu Arcs, and the backarc basin of southern Okinawa Trough. Off eastern Taiwan lies the deep Huatung Basin on the Philippine Sea plate with a relatively flat floor, although several large submarine canyons are eroding and crossing the basin floor. Off southeastern Taiwan, the forearc region of the Luzon Arc has been deformed into five alternating N-S trending ridges and troughs during initial arc-continent collision. Among them, the submarine Hengchun Ridge is the seaward continuation of the Hengchun peninsula in southern Taiwan. Off southwestern Taiwan, the broad Kaoping Slope is the major submarine topographic feature with several noticeable submarine canyons. The Penghu Canyon separates this slope from the South China Sea Slope to the west and merges southwards into the Manila Trench in the northern South China Sea. Although most of sea floors of the Taiwan Strait are shallower than 60 m in water depth, there are three noticeable bathymetric lows and two highs in the Taiwan Strait. There exists a close relationship between hydrography and topography in the Taiwan Strait. The circulation of currents in the Taiwan Strait is strongly influenced by seasonal monsoon and semidiurnal tides. The Penghu Channel-Yunchang Ridge can be considered a modern tidal depositional system. The Taiwan Strait shelf has two phases of development. The early phase of the rift margin has developed during Paleoocene-Miocene and it has evolved to the foreland basin in Pliocene-Quaternary time. The present shelf morphology results mainly from combined effects of foreland subsidence and modern sedimentation overprinting that of the Late Pleistocene glaciation about 15,000 years ago.  相似文献   

Hydroacoustic Field of a Point Source in an Inhomogeneous Marine Medium Containing a Cylindrical Body Floating on the Surface     

Papkova  Yu. I.  Papkov  S. O.  Yaroshenko  A. A. 《Physical Oceanography》2003,13(5):266-278

We study the problem of determination of the sound field of a point harmonic source in the coastal zone and the influence of a cylindrical body floating above the source on the sound field formed in the marine medium. A numerical-analytic method is proposed for the determination of the velocity potential. According to this method, the unknown coefficients in the general solution of the problem are determined from the corresponding infinite system of linear algebraic equations by the method of reduction. We present results of numerical calculations for a special case of a waveguide whose parameters are typical of the coastal part of the sea and perform the comparative analysis of the data obtained as a result of variation of the indicated parameters.  相似文献   

Invertebrates in the trophic webs of the white sea near-shore ecosystem (using the example of Gryaznaya Inlet)     

T. A. Bek  I. V. Burkovsky  A. P. Stolyarov  M. Yu. Kolobov 《Oceanology》2006,46(1):63-70

In the food clods of the mass species of macrobenthos of the Gryaznaya Inlet, nonstructured matter plays a great role. We identify this matter as derivates from plant tissues, which are the products of their external metabolism and degradation, with associated microorganisms. This way, the near-shore community considered is supported by a detrital trophic web. This feature distinguishes it from the similar community of the near-Atlantic waters that is based on a pasture web, at least as far as the bivalve mass species are concerned. The groups of the near-shore species of Gryaznaya Inlet separated by a cluster analysis are identified as consortia, combined by the biogeochemical conditions (edifice factor), which can hardly be analyzed at present.  相似文献   

Mathematical modeling of turbulent jets of deep-water sewage discharge into coastal basins     

V. G. Bondur  V. M. Zhurbas  Yu. V. Grebenyuk 《Oceanology》2006,46(6):757-771

The basic properties of the dynamic model of a turbulent jet formed by a deep-water sewage discharge into the stratified environment of coastal regions are considered. The model developed was used to estimate the parameters of a floating-up jet of deep wastewater discharge from Sand Island into the basin of Mamala Bay (Hawaii) depending on the season and discharge operation mode. The estimates of the float-up depths of the jet and the initial dilution of the jet were estimated on the basis of model calculations using experimental data on the vertical profiles of the water temperature and salinity under the actual conditions of stratification in the study region. It is shown that the further propagation of the wastewater jet depends on tidal events and internal waves generated by tides. The appearance of turbulent jets at the sea surface was recorded. The model estimates of the parameters of the wastewater discharge were compared with the results of experimental measurements. Good agreement was found, which indicates that the physical mechanisms of the propagation of turbulent jets in a stratified medium are adequately described by the model.  相似文献   

黄海、渤海大陆架的浅地层剖面仪测量与浅地层结构的研究     

于洪军 《海洋科学集刊》1995,(36):119-128

自本世纪60年代以来,浅地层剖面仪测量技术在世界各大陆架海都得到了广泛的应用,专家们取得了大量实际资料,并发表了多篇调査报告和研究成果(赵松龄,1991;秦蕴珊、赵松龄,1991;赵松龄、于洪军,1993),为查明世界各大陆架海的形成过程、地层结构、环境变迁、海面变化、岸线变迁、河道跟踪、以及地貌类型的划分等提供了新的信息,推动了世界大陆架地质学的发展。在应用浅地层剖面仪测量技术所取得的多种成果中,最为突出的研究,莫过于在世界上的若干大陆架区发现了古河道及其沉积,通过古河道的追踪又可以了解大陆架环境的变迁和海面变化的过程。所以,这项大陆架勘察技术问世以来,一直是大陆架地质勘察中不可缺少的手段之一。 我国大约在70年代初期开始研制浅地层剖面仪,并制成了第一批产品,进人80年代以来,又逐渐引进了国外的新产品用于中国大陆架的勘察。近年来中国科学院海洋研究所利用这种勘察仪器,在南黄海和渤海海域已经获得了数千公里的测量记录。浅地层剖面仪测量资料中大量信息的提取是运用这项技术的关键。本文根据作者所获得的测量资料,对晚更新世末期以来的浅地层结构及古环境进行了探讨。  相似文献

-The North Channel in the Yangtze Estuary is one of sea-leading waterways of Shanghai Harbour, in which yearly dredging volume reaches over ten million cubic meters, and it tends to increase year by year. Based on the channel regime similarity and through the relational grade, a GM (2, 1) is set up. It reveals the course of development of channel regime similarity under the action of various factors, and predicts the siltation volume in the nearest future which is the basis of dredging planning for relevant dredging departments.  相似文献

Abnormality of thermal structure and current in the upper western tropical Pacific Ocean and its effect on subtropical high     

Pu Shuzhen  Yu Huiling 《海洋学报(英文版)》1992,11(1):67-82

-Mainly on the basis of the data obtained during PRC/US bilateral TOGA cruises, abnormal variation occurred during the 1986/1987 El Nino is shown in this paper about the thermal structure and circulation of the upper western tropical Pacific Ocean. The effects of the abmormal variation on the subtropical high over the Northwest Pacific Ocean are discussed. During the El Nino: (1) In the east part of the western tropical Pacific Ocean (the subsurface temperature data on the 165° E section are taken as an example), the water wanner than 29 C in the upper layer spread on the longitudinal section and positive temperature anormalies appeared in a large area of the sea surface. (2) In the west part of the western tropical Pacific Ocean (the subsurface temperature data on the 137°E section are representative ), the cross section occupied by the upper layer warmer water ( T >28 ℃ ) became shrunk, and the sea surface temperature showed negative amomalies.
