All washed up: spatial and temporal variation in the wash-up and fate of chondrichthyan egg cases along a section of the Garden Route,South Africa     

S Schmöle  M Brown 《African Journal of Marine Science》2020,42(2):141-149

Washed-up chondrichthyan egg cases were collected along three different sandy beaches around Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, between April 2016 and March 2017. GPS location was recorded upon collection, and, after being soaked in fresh water for 12 hours, egg cases were identified to species level. Additionally, boreholes, damage, biofouling and state of the hatchling slit were recorded. The hatching success of each egg case was inferred from these factors. Over the year, 6 996 egg cases of nine species were collected. Egg cases of the tiger catshark Halaelurus natalensis had the highest hatching rate at 70%. Egg cases of the leopard catshark Poroderma pantherinum had the highest predation rate at 57%. Season had no significant effect either on overall egg-case counts or on per-species counts. Location, however, significantly affected the overall egg-case counts, as well as per-species counts, with the exceptions of H. natalensis and the St Joseph Callorhinchus capensis. The results of this study provide insight into chondrichthyan species occurrence and spatial variation along a section of the Garden Route in the Western Cape Province and can act as a baseline for future research.  相似文献

利用50 a的SODA资料对1月(冬季)和7月(夏季)印度洋越赤道经向翻转环流的年际变化进行研究。通过对2类典型年份的合成分析指出:1月份正异常年对应的经向翻转环流偏强,向北的经向热输送增加;7月份正异常年对应的经向翻转环流则偏弱,向南的经向热输送减少;1月份和7月份的负异常年皆与其正异常年相反;越赤道经向翻转环流有明显的年际变化,平均周期在4 a左右;经向翻转环流的年际变化和海面风场的变化密切相关。提出了反映1月和7月此环流年际变化的几个指数。  相似文献

张启龙蔡榕硕  齐庆华郑冬梅 《台湾海峡》2007,26(4):453-464

本文利用日本气象厅在137°E断面获得的水温和盐度长期观测资料,分析了该断面温度场和盐度场的时空特征.结果表明,137°E断面的温度场和盐度场都存在着明显的季节差异和年际变化.冬季,温度场变化的关键区位于3°～18°N的300m以浅海域,而盐度场变化的关键区则位于18°～34°N的300m以浅海域.夏季,温度场变化的关键区位于3°～16°N的300m以浅海域,而盐度场则有两个关键区,分别位于3°～18°N的200m以浅海域和24°～34°N的300m以浅海域.温度场的年际变化与ENSO循环相联系,而盐度场的年际变化则比较复杂.  相似文献   

A NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE MEDIUM-RANGE RESPONSES OF THE ATMOSPHERE TO THE ABNORMAL SOIL MOISTURE^*          下载免费PDF全文

Yan Qimin  Zheng Qinglin 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1992,6(3):299-310

By employing the improved T42L9 spectral model introduced by NMC (Beijing) from ECMWF and utilizing the FGGE-IIIb data covering the period of 14-19 June 1979, the atmospheric responses to the abnormal soil moisture during the medium-range period have been studied numerically. According to the initial field at 12 GMT 14 June, a five-day numerical experiment under different conditions of the soil moisture has been carried out respectively. The monthly mean climatological soil moisture for June has been used in the control experiment in the initial time and it changes with time according to the moisture budget equation at the land surface. Comparing with the experiments with dry or wet soil. one can conclude that: 1) Source of precipitation over continents in summer consists of the land-surface evaporation and the moisture transfer from oceans. Their intensities are comparable during the medium-range time scale when the soil evaporates its moisture sufficiently. Therefore, the soil moisture can influence the global precipitation and the general circulation significantly; 2) By influencing the thermodynamic difference between land and sea,the soil moisture can change the intensity of monsoon and precipitation distribution; 3) The response of the atmosphere to the abnormal soil moisture has the characteristics of geographical distribution and nonlinear interactions; 4) Human activities on the world can influence the environment greatly.  相似文献   

Further evaluation of the Sim-ReSET model for ET estimation driven by only satellite inputs

Abstract

A simple remote sensing evapotranspiration (ET) model (Sim-ReSET) has been proposed but only tested using field measurements at a site with a semi-arid climate. Its performance for mapping ET using only satellite data remained unknown. In this study, the Sim-ReSET model was further evaluated for ET estimation driven by only MODIS data products. The estimated ET rates were compared with ground-based observational data from a variety of ecosystems and climates across China. The results show that MODIS-based ET estimates are consistent with both the ET measurements from eddy covariance flux towers and those from the Penman-Monteith method combined with micrometeorological data. Evaporation fraction (EF) is indicative of land surface moisture. The derivative EF maps demonstrate that the proposed ET data set obtained from the Sim-ReSET model and MODIS data is capable of capturing the spatio-temporal pattern of land surface moisture for different land covers with different climates.

Open-ocean response and normal mode excitation in an eddy-resolving general circulation model     

Arthur J. Miller  William R. Holland  Myrl C. Hendershott 《地球物理与天体物理流体动力学》2013,107(4):253-278

Abstract

Analysis of a two-layer, flat-bottom, steady-wind driven, eddy-resolving general circulation model reveals a distinct separation in frequency of baroclinic and barotropic motion in the region distant from the model Gulf Stream. The far-field motions at periods less (greater) than about 100 days are predominantly barotropic (baroclinic), unlike the near-field, eddy-generating, free-jet region which contains barotropic and baroclinic energy throughout the modei frequency range. The far-field barotropic energy produces a peak in the model sea-level spectra between 25 and 50 days with a magnitude comparable to energy levels observed in spectra of sea level from oceanic island tide gauges. The far-field barotropic motion is clearly composed of large-scale, resonant, barotropic normal modes drive by mesoscale activity of the turbulent, free-jet region. Oceanic mesoscale turbulence may therefore provide for planetary normal modes an excitation mechanism distinct from atmospheric forcing. The open-ocean, barotropic, model response is very similar to that of a fluctuating-wind driven model, which suggests that atmospheric and intrinsic forcing of mid-ocean eddies may be of comparable importance.  相似文献   

海洋观测数据在海洋预报和海洋防灾减灾中的适用——以温州市和台州市为例          下载免费PDF全文

为完善海洋观测体系,提高海洋观测数据在海洋预报和海洋防灾减灾中的适用性,文章以海洋经济较发达和遭受海洋灾害较多的温州市和台州市为例,选取潮位、波浪和水温3个重要海洋观测要素,分析海洋观测数据在海洋预报和海洋防灾减灾中的适用,并提出对策建议。研究结果表明:由于观测时间较短、地理位置特殊和数据代表性不足,海洋观测站的潮位数据未能在台风风暴潮的预报和防灾减灾中有效发挥作用;由于波浪观测仪器布设位置的地形阻挡和观测站少,波浪数据的预报准确性和实际应用不足;个别观测站的水温数据不适用于大面海洋环境和赤潮的预报,且缺少对低温灾害的观测。针对海洋观测数据的实际应用与相关业务脱节的问题,未来应提高观测数据质量、紧密结合当地海洋预报和海洋防灾减灾工作需求、开展重点目标保障预报工作以及加强海洋观测宣传教育。  相似文献   

热带北太平洋西部固氮速率及固氮微生物组成

In the present study, we report N_2 fixation rate(~(15)N isotope tracer assay) and the diazotroph community structure(using the molecular method) in the western tropical North Pacific Ocean(WTNP)(13°–20°N, 120°–160°E). Our independent evidence on the basis of both in situ N_2 fixation activity and diazotroph community structure showed the dominance of unicellular N_2 fixation over majority of the WTNP surface waters during the sampling periods.Moreover, a shift in the diazotrophic composition from unicellular cyanobacteria group B-dominated to Trichodesmium spp.-dominated toward the western boundary current(Kuroshio) was also observed in 2013. We hypothesize that nutrient availability may have played a major role in regulating the biogeography of N_2 fixation.In surface waters, volumetric N_2 fixation rate(calculated by nitrogen) ranged between 0.6 and 2.6 nmol/(L·d) and averaged(1.2±0.5) nmol/(L·d), with 10 μm size fraction contributed predominantly(88%±6%) to the total rate between 135°E and 160°E. Depth-integrated N_2 fixation rate over the upper 200 m ranged between 150 μmol/(m~2·d)and 480 μmol/(m~2·d)(average(225±105) μmol/(m~2·d). N_2 fixation can account for 6.2%±3.7% of the depthintegrated primary production, suggesting that N_2 fixation is a significant N source sustaining new and export production in the WTNP. The role of N_2 fixation in biogeochemical cycling in this climate change-vulnerable region calls for further investigations.  相似文献

汪金涛  陈新军  陈勇 《海洋学报(英文版)》2018,37(8):31-37

本文利用2003-2011年西南大西洋阿根廷滑柔鱼渔业数据和海洋环境数据，包括海表温度（sea surface temperature， SST），海面高度（sea surface height， SSH）和叶绿素浓度（chlorophyll a， Chl a），开发基于广义加性模型（GAM）和神经网络模型（NNM）的复合模型研究滑柔鱼资源时空分布。GAM用于选择关键影响因子，并分析与单位捕捞努力量渔获量（catch per unit effort， CPUE）的关系，NNM用于建立关键影响因子与CPUE之间的预报模型。结果表明：GAM选择的影响因子的偏差解释率为53.8%，空间变量（经度和纬度），环境变量（SST、SSH、Chl a）均匀CPUE之间存在显著相关性。CPUE与SST和SSH之间为非线性关系，与Chl a之间为线性关系。NNM模型的MSE和ARV较低，其精度高且稳定。此复合模型也能够解释解释西南大西洋阿根廷滑柔鱼时空变化趋势和迁徙模式。  相似文献
