在海洋测深中，由于波浪和潮汐的影响，调查船或无人船所测量的瞬时水深不能直接作为海图水深。本文提出了一种新型的无人船海洋水深测量技术，以评估搭载RTK和单波束测深仪的无人船用于海洋水深测量的潜能。首先，使用无人船所搭载RTK的厘米级精度高程数据，通过低通滤波剔除波浪信息，而获得海平面高程。然后，基于潮汐表和无人船海平面高程，构建了一种参考椭球面和海图的两个基准面之差的获取方法；在常规的海洋调查中，该基准面差通常需要由长期的验潮获得。最后，利用海图基准和无人船测量的瞬时水深的转换关系，计算出海图水深。在海南省蜈支洲岛周边海域，利用自研发的无人船“USBV”开展了相关海上实验，以验证所提出的技术方法。实验结果验证了该无人船海洋水深测量技术。  相似文献

In coastal rivers, tides can propagate for tens to hundreds of kilometres inland beyond the saltwater line. Yet the influence of tides on river–aquifer connectivity and solute transport in tidal freshwater zones (TFZs) is largely unknown. We estimate that along the TFZ of White Clay Creek (Delaware, USA), 11% of river water exchanges through tidal bank storage zones. Additional hyporheic processes such as flow through bedforms likely contribute even more exchange. The turnover length associated with tidal bank storage is 150 km, on the order of turnover lengths for all hyporheic exchange processes in non‐tidal rivers of similar size. Based on measurements at a transect of piezometers located 17 km from the coast, tides exchange 0.36 m³ of water across the banks and 0.86 m³ across the bed per unit river length. Exchange fluxes range from ?1.66 to 2.26 m day^?1 across the bank and ?0.84 to 1.88 m day^?1 across the bed. During rising tide, river water infiltrates into the riparian aquifer, and the downstream transport rate in the channel is low. During falling tide, stored groundwater is released to the river, and the downstream transport rate in the channel increases. Tidal bank storage zones may remove nutrients or other contaminants from river water and attenuate nutrient loads to coasts. Alternating expansion and contraction of aerobic zones in the riparian aquifer likely influence contaminant removal along flow paths. A clear need exists to understand contaminant removal and other ecosystem services in TFZs and adopt best management practices to promote these ecosystem services.

Patterns of tidal flooding within a mangrove forest: Coombabah Lake,Southeast Queensland,Australia     

J.M. Knight  P.E.R. Dale  R.J.K. Dunn  G.J. Broadbent  C.J. Lemckert 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2008

Tidal flooding and surface drainage patterns have often been used to describe mangrove species zonation. However, in mangrove forests exhibiting little topography, ambiguous species distributions and/or few species, such approaches are ineffective. We identified four physiognomic mangrove forest types (Riverine, Fringing, Overwash and Basin) at Coombabah Lake, a tidal lake in southeast Queensland, Australia and investigated tidal flooding patterns using synoptic surveys of tidal observations at the local Standard Port combined with local water depth observation. Subsequently three sub-types of the basin forest type were identified: (1) Deep Basin Forest with mature trees, ∼50 cm standing water and ∼3 tides per year; (2) Medium Depth Basin Forest with intermediate tree development, ∼15–30 cm standing water and 20–40 tides per year; and (3) Shallow Basin Forest with relatively recent mangrove establishment, 5–15 cm standing water and ∼80 tides per year. These three basin sub-types were found to flood at different tide heights with the Shallow Basin flooding for tides above mean high water springs and the Deep Basin flooding only for tide heights approaching the highest astronomical tide. We propose that these basin types represent a succession in mangrove forest development that corresponds with increasing water depth and tree maturation over time. The succession not only represents increasing age but also change in basin substrate composition. This is manifest as increasing pneumatophore density and an increasing area of basin surface occupied by contiguous pneumatophore cover. As a result, it seems that mangrove development is able to modify tidal flooding into the basin by increasingly impeding water movement.  相似文献

万荣强  魏泽勋  高秀敏  徐晓庆  滕飞 《海洋科学进展》2020,38(4):562-573

基于FVCOM(Finite Volume Coast and Ocean Model)模型,建立北印度洋海域(31^°~102^°E,16^°S~31^°N)的M₂和S₂分潮潮波数值模式,研究北印度洋半日潮潮汐、潮流分布特征。对底摩擦系数进行数值试验,利用代价函数梯度下降法,得到分潮调和常数向量均方根偏差(RMSE)的变化曲线,逼近并确定最优的底摩擦系数。将采用该系数的模拟结果与TOPEX/Poseidon卫星高度计交叉点的调和常数数据、国际海道测量组织(IHO)及部分文献中的验潮站数据进行比较与验证,一致性较好。其中对比卫星数据的振幅偏差为2~4 cm、迟角偏差为7^°~8^°,与验潮站数据的振幅偏差为3~6 cm、迟角偏差为8^°~9^°。根据模拟结果,分析了北印度洋海域M₂和S₂分潮潮波传播特征和潮流椭圆的空间分布特征等。M₂分潮潮波在阿拉伯海南部有1个无潮点,在波斯湾内有2个无潮点,最大振幅超过80 cm;潮流在西北印度洋和孟加拉湾中部大多为顺时针旋转,其余海域大多为逆时针旋转;流速在阿拉伯海东北部、安达曼海、波斯湾和孟加拉湾北部较大,最大流速为160 cm/s,其他海域较小。S₂分潮的潮波传播特征、无潮点的位置和潮流椭圆的空间分布特征等都与M₂分潮类似,但潮波振幅和潮流流速等都相对M₂分潮较小。研究完善了北印度洋海域2个主要半日分潮M₂和S₂的整体特征。  相似文献   

Tidal sands as biogeochemical reactors

Sandy sediments of continental shelves and most beaches are often thought of as geochemical deserts because they are usually poor in organic matter and other reactive substances. The present study focuses on analyses of dissolved biogenic compounds of surface seawater and pore waters of Aquitanian coastal beach sediments. To quantitatively assess the biogeochemical reactions, we collected pore waters at low tide on tidal cross-shore transects unaffected by freshwater inputs. We recorded temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation state, and nutrient concentrations. These parameters were compared to the values recorded in the seawater entering the interstitial environment during floods. Cross-shore topography and position of piezometric level at low tide were obtained from kinematics GPS records. Residence time of pore waters was estimated by a tracer approach, using dissolved silica concentration and kinetics estimate of quartz dissolution with seawater. Kinetics parameters were based on dissolved silica concentration monitoring during 20-day incubations of sediment with seawater. We found that seawater that entered the sediment during flood tides remained up to seven tidal cycles within the interstitial environment. Oxygen saturation of seawater was close to 100%, whereas it was as low as 80% in pore waters. Concentrations of dissolved nutrients were higher in pore waters than in seawater. These results suggest that aerobic respiration occurred in the sands. We propose that mineralised organic matter originated from planktonic material that infiltrated the sediment with water during flood tides. Therefore, the sandy tidal sediment of the Aquitanian coast is a biogeochemical reactor that promotes or accelerates remineralisation of coastal pelagic primary production. Mass balance calculations suggest that this single process supplies about 37 kmol of nitrate and 1.9 kmol of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) to the 250-km long Aquitanian coast during each semi-diurnal tidal cycle. It represents about 1.5% of nitrate and 5% of DIP supplied by the nearest estuary.  相似文献   

Temporal asymmetries in the feeding patterns along the tidal cycle in two sympatric littoral blennies     

C. Faria  V.C. Almada 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2008,79(3):566-568

The temporal patterns of feeding activity of Lipophrys pholis and Coryphoblennius galerita were studied by snorkelling dives during high-waters. The feeding activity was especially intense during the rising-tide when compared to the ebbing-tide. The relative abundances of C. galerita and small L. pholis observed on rock-walls were higher during the rising- and high-tide. However, L. pholis larger than 7–8 cm showed higher relative abundance on rock-walls during the ebbing phase, apparently because they move up and down with the tide, and many individuals were in their downward movements as the tide ebbs. It is hypothesized that the asymmetry in feeding pattern observed in both species reflects a trade off between two conflicting needs, maximizing feeding time and reaching their low-tide shelters in time, avoiding the risk of getting stranded in unsuitable locations.  相似文献   

Residual and tidal circulation revealed by VHF radar surface current measurements in the southern Channel Isles region (English Channel)     

Alexei Sentchev  Philippe Forget  Yves Barbin 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2009

Two very high-frequency radars (VHFRs), operating in the southern Channel Isles region (English Channel) in February–March 2003, provided a continuous 27-day long dataset of surface currents at 2 km resolution over an area extending approximately 20 km offshore. The tidal range in the region of study is one of the highest in the world and the coastal circulation is completely dominated by tides. The radar data resolve two modes which account for 97% of the variability of the surface current velocities, with the major contribution of the first mode. This mode accounts for oscillating tidal currents whereas the second mode represents motions emerging from the interaction of tidal currents with capes and islands (eddy in the vicinity of the Point of Grouin and jet south of Chausey). A fortnightly modulation of the modal amplitudes causes the exceptional (more than 600%) variability of currents which is well captured by the VHFR observations. The radar data revealed that tidal circulation in the region is flood-dominated with a strong asymmetry of current velocity curve. Wind events and fortnightly variability affect the course of tidal cycle by modifying the magnitude and duration of ebb and flood. In addition to expected features of coastal circulation (tidally dominated flow, eddies) and high wind-current coupling, the residual currents revealed a strong cross-shore structure in the mean and a significant variability which has the same order of magnitude.  相似文献

风暴潮模拟中潮位对风拖曳力系数的影响研究     

孔俊  宋志尧  张金善  康琮 《海洋预报》2008,25(1):74-79

近年来,应用数值模型模拟台风引起的风暴潮运动越来越普遍,模型中对于风拖曳力系数的确定,一般都从相对风速出发,可引用的公式也较多,但这些公式很少考虑潮位变化对此系数的影响.在强潮河口、海岸海域,潮位变幅大,最高潮位甚至可达风速参考高度(10m)的近一半,如长江口和杭州湾.在数值模拟中不考虑风暴潮和天文潮共同引起的潮位变化,会造成风应力高潮时被低估、低潮时被高估的现象,从而影响风暴潮模拟的精度.为此本文对现有的风拖曳力系数加以改进,提出了考虑潮位影响的风拖曳力系数表达式,并应用于长江口、杭州湾9711号台风风暴潮的模拟中,增水模拟结果得到了明显改善,可进一步推广应用于强潮河口、海岸的风暴潮增水模拟中.  相似文献
