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

大亚湾是国家重点开发的海湾，通过对其大量实测资料的综合分析和研究表明，大亚湾有9种底质类型，除沿岸及岛屿周围颗粒较粗外，湾内浅海区主要为粘土质粉砂和粉砂质粘土，工程地质条件较好。大亚湾目前底质总体污染较小，以轻微污染为主，但湾内水体交换能力差，污染易而治理难，应倍加保护。大亚湾潜在地质灾害包括活动性地质灾害因素和限制性地质条件，主要有海岸侵蚀、沙波、断层、不规则埋藏基岩、埋藏脊、航道沟、异常堆积区和陡坎等。  相似文献

The coast of the Dapeng Peninsula has been honored as one of "the eight most beautiful coasts in China". The most precious tourism resource for the peninsula is headland bay beaches, among which the beach at Xichong on the southern coast of the peninsula is the longest and the most important one. The information of the stability, sedimentary source and shape change of the beach is very important for maintaining the beach in terms of sustainable development of the peninsula. Heavy minerals in the sand of the beach and the inland stream at Xichong are compared with those of a nearby beach on the same coast to determine the beach sand source; with help of a computer software, MEPBAY, the equilibrium planforms of the beaches on the peninsula are compared with those of an island without rivers to evaluate the stream’s effects on the beach stability; cross shore profiles along the Xichong beach are also surveyed in different seasons of a year to assess the annual shore normal beach changes affected by the stream input, and the relation between the equilibrium planform state and cross shore changes of the beach. It is shown that(1) stream is the main sedimentary source of the beach and the weathering materials of the rocky headlands on both sides of the bay transported by waves are the second source for the beach but it is limited, sand from an inner shelf is not the sedimentary source for the beach at present and was not even during the Holocene transgression;(2) the Xichong beach cannot reach static equilibrium around the entire bay shoreline, the segment of the shoreline where a stream outlet is located is in dynamic equilibrium, and the unstable section occurs in the wave shadow region in the lee of an offshore island;(3) no matter whether the section of the beach shoreline at Xichong is in an equilibrium state or not, it is eroded in the typhoon season and recovered after the season, the maximum change in erosion and accretion occurs in the unstable segment;(4) the Xichong beach can only have small sand body since it is supplied with sand mainly form inland streams, resulting in a possible danger in which sand loss induced by human activities or huge storms cannot be replenished naturally.  相似文献

黄铁兰  罗婧  高照忠  黄斐霓 《测绘通报》2021,(12):10-15

夜光遥感影像数据可有效反映城市空间格局变化。本文基于1992—2012年的DSMP-OLS夜光遥感影像和2018年的珞珈一号遥感影像,利用分层阈值法提取粤港澳大湾区内各城市建成区;通过计算平均灯光强度、平均灯光增长速率、城市建成区面积、城市建成区增长速率、城市重心、城市重心偏移距离等一系列指数,揭示区内各城市的空间格局演变过程。研究结果表明:①1992—2018年,粤港澳大湾区的城市规模大幅增长,沿珠江口两侧形成了以澳门、广州、深圳和香港为核心的倒“U”形城市群,并呈辐射状向周边扩张。②以珠江口为界,粤港澳大湾区东部各个城市的发展水平整体高于西部各个城市,广州、深圳、香港等核心城市发展水平明显高于江门、肇庆、惠州等外围城市。③1992—2018年,粤港澳大湾区建成区的增长速率由小变大,最后逐渐趋于稳定,2002—2007年是城市扩张最迅猛时期。④1992—2018年,粤港澳大湾区的各城市重心迁移方式表现为3种类型:持续向区域中心迁移;持续向相邻城市邻接区迁移;持续向海洋方向迁移。大部分城市的重心迁移方向呈“震荡”特征。  相似文献   

锦州湾沉积物重金属污染特征及基于三角模糊数的生态风险评价     

王艳  刘汝海  于萍  许廖奇  王金玉 《海洋与湖沼》2013,44(4):860-865

在锦州湾海域采集了20个表层沉积物样品, 测定Pb、Cr、Zn、Cu、As、Hg等6种重金属含量。数据分析表明Hg变差系数最大, 存在较重的污染。区域分布特征分析表明, 除了重金属Cr外, 其他五种重金属元素在沉积物中的含量均具有明显的由近岸向远岸逐渐降低的趋势, 说明陆源输入可能是锦州湾重金属污染的主要原因。通过聚类分析, 将研究海域分成三个区域, 采用三角模糊数处理和表征重金属含量, 对其进行生态风险评价(取可信度A=0.90), 结果表明重金属污染顺序是: Hg>Zn>Cu>Pb>As>Cr, 其中Hg和Zn在三个区都达到高污染程度。由于Hg极高的生物毒性, 使得该海域的生态风险都达到了极高的水平。  相似文献

通过对宾县鸟河乡鸟河剖面和红石山剖面的沉积学分析,结合古生物、地球化学和古地理位置等资料,初步恢复了当时的古环境特征。鸟河剖面以灰绿色泥岩为主,夹有黄铁矿和白云岩结核层,属于湖湾环境沉积;红石山剖面下部以绿色泥岩为主,中上部变为以红色泥岩为主的沉积,早期属滨浅湖环境,之后水体变浅逐步转为泥坪相沉积。当物源不充足时,沉积物以泥岩为主,发育水平层理,化石种类少但成层性好,泥岩中常夹有白云岩和黄铁矿层。湖湾从湖盆断裂坳陷开始,经水体加深接受沉积,水流波浪侵蚀破坏湖底及湖岸阻隔,后水体逐步变浅,最终转化为泥沼。  相似文献   

龙口湾水动力特征及其对人工岛群建设的响应   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

基于龙口湾及附近海域的水文实测资料,利用Mike21数学模型模拟了人工岛建设前后的潮流、波浪、纳潮量及水交换率等水动力特征,探讨了人工岛群建设对龙口湾水动力环境的影响。结果表明,人工岛建设显著改变了龙口湾潮流场特征及水体运动路径,湾内受到人工岛的阻挡,流速普遍减小,局部区域潮流运动形式由往复流变为旋转流,流向变化较大,余流形成多个涡旋;湾外由于堤头挑流作用导致局部区域流速增大且余流流速增大,潮流运动形式未发生明显改变。受人工岛的掩蔽作用,人工岛及附近区域的波浪有效波高普遍减小。龙口湾潮位出现北部最大潮差变小、南部最大潮差增大的格局,壅水作用导致人工岛内部水道潮差变化明显。人工岛建设直接占据了龙口湾海域面积,导致其纳潮量明显减小,水交换率呈现南部和北部增大、人工岛北侧以及内部水道减小的特征,人工岛造成的水动力环境的改变是影响水交换率变化的主要原因。人工岛群建设导致龙口湾内的潮流、波浪、纳潮量以及水交换等水动力特征减弱,是引起龙口湾水动力条件变化的根本因素。  相似文献
