Phytoplankton dynamics associated with the monsoon in the Sulu Sea as revealed by pigment signature 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Phytoplankton dynamics during the northeast monsoon was investigated in the Sulu Sea from algal pigment analysis. We visited
the Sulu Sea in February 2000, a mid period of the northeast monsoon, and in November and December 2002, the beginning of
the northeast monsoon. SeaWiFS images showed generally low concentrations of surface chlorophyll a (Chl a) during the southwest monsoon and higher concentrations with several peaks during the northeast monsoon. In the beginning
of the northeast monsoon, subsurface chlorophyll maxima (SCM) occurred, where vertical variation in class-specific composition
as estimated from pigment signatures was prominent. Prochlorococcus, cyanobacteria, prymnesiophytes and crysophytes were important groups above the SCM, and the contribution of cyanobacteria
to Chl a became much lower at and below the SCM. Contributions of chlorophytes and prasinophytes to Chl a generally showed maxima near the SCM. This distribution was accompanied by vertical changes in the concentration of photoprotective
pigments relative to photosynthetic accessory pigments. During the mid northeast monsoon, the upward supply of nutrients was
probably enhanced at some stations due to vertical mixing, and as a consequence diatoms dominated in the upper 100 m water
column of these stations, and other eukaryotic flagellates including prymnesiophytes, chrysophytes and cryptophytes were secondary
major components of the community. The elevation of Chl a concentration and changes in phytoplankton community during the northeast monsoon likely influence the variation in biological
production at higher trophic levels in the Sulu Sea. 相似文献

Bacterial abundance and production, numbers, sizes and concentrations of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and total
organic carbon (TOC) were measured during the 1996 summer monsoon to understand the relationship between TEP, the most labile
particulate organic carbon, and bacteria. While high regional variability in the vertical distribution of TOC was discernible,
TEP concentrations were high in surface waters at 18–20°N along 64°E with concentrations well over 25 mg alginic acid equivalents
I−1 due to upwelling induced productivity. Their concentrations decreased with depth and were lower between 200 and 500 m. Bacterial
concentrations were up to 1.99 × 108 I–1 in the surface waters and decreased by an order of magnitude or more at depths below 500 m. A better relationship has been
found between bacterial abundance and concentrations of TEP than between bacteria and TOC, indicating that bacterial metabolism
is fueled by availability of TEP in the Arabian Sea. Assuming a carbon assimilation of 33%, bacterial carbon demand (BCD)
is estimated to be 1.017 to 4.035 g C m–2 d–1 in the surface waters. The observed TEP concentrations appear to be sufficient in meeting the surface and subsurface BCD
in the northern Arabian Sea. 相似文献

The seasonal dynamics of nutrient ratios and abundance of phytoplankton cells from the central (CB) and western (WB) Bay of Bengal (BOB) were studied during the fall intermonsoon (FIM; September-October 2002) and spring intermonsoon (SpIM; April-May 2003). The nutrient molar ratios of macronutrients such as nitrate to phosphate (N:P), nitrate to silicate (N:Si) and silicate to phosphate (Si:P) in the top 120m were calculated for both FIM and SpIM. During both the seasons, the N:P ratios along the CB and WB were lower than 16, indicating nitrate deficiency. Whereas, along both transects the N:Si ratio was <1 and Si:P >3 in the top 20 and 40m during FIM and SpIM, respectively, indicating Si enrichment. Relatively greater nutrient concentrations along the WB than the CB appear to contribute to higher phytoplankton abundance. The preponderance of diatoms in the Bay could be attributed to rapid utilization of available nutrients in particular during FIM thus resulting in low N:Si ratios in the water column. Among diatoms, pennales were predominantly controlled by nutrients and their ratios. While, apart from nutrients, physical stratification, light and eddies also seem to influence the distribution and abundance of centrales. 相似文献

Radio pulsars show remarkable clock-like stability, which make them useful astronomy tools in experiments to test equation of state of neutron stars and detecting gravitational waves using pulsar timing techniques. A brief review of relevant astrophysical experiments is provided in this paper highlighting the current state-of-the-art of these experiments. A program to monitor frequently glitching pulsars with Indian radio telescopes using high cadence observations is presented, with illustrations of glitches detected in this program, including the largest ever glitch in PSR B0531+21. An Indian initiative to discover sub-\(\mu \)Hz gravitational waves, called Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA), is also described briefly, where time-of-arrival uncertainties and post-fit residuals of the order of \(\mu \)s are already achievable, comparable to other international pulsar timing array experiments. While timing the glitches and their recoveries are likely to provide constraints on the structure of neutron stars, InPTA will provide upper limits on sub-\(\mu \)Hz gravitational waves apart from auxiliary pulsar science. Future directions for these experiments are outlined. 相似文献

The hyporheic zones constitute a major site of storage of organic matter and energy flow in freshwater ecosystems. To complement the studies carried out in North America and Europe, we evaluated the sediment quality and occurrence of aquatic hyphomycetes in coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM; ≥5 mm) and fine particulate matter (FPM; ≤1 mm) in three locations of Kaiga stream and eight locations of Kadra dam of the River Kali in Western Ghats. The pH of sediments of stream and dam was acidic (5.8-6.6) and the average organic carbon of stream sediments was higher than dam sediments (8.6% vs. 3.9%). Among the eight minerals monitored, Fe was highest in all sediments and Ni was below detectable limit in four dam sediments. Spores of aquatic hyphomycetes were directly released from the CPOM fractions of sediments upon bubble chamber incubation, while the FPM fractions produced spores indirectly by colonization of sterile leaf baits followed by bubble chamber incubation. The species richness and diversity in CPOM was higher than FPM in stream as well as dam sediments. The Sorensen's similarity indices between the fungal flora of CPOM in stream (66.7-81.8%) and dam (69.2-88%) locations were generally higher than FPM. The spore output per mg CPOM was between 1215 (dam) and 3384 (stream). The species richness was negatively correlated with Cr (P < 0.01; r = −1.000) of stream sediments, while it was negatively correlated with organic carbon (P < 0.05; r = −0.740) and positively correlated with K (P < 0.05; r = 0.750) of dam sediments. Occurrence and survival of aquatic hyphomycetes in hyporheic habitats of freshwater bodies indicate the importance of such zones as reservoir of fungal inoculum necessary in fundamental functions such as organic matter processing and energy flow. The present study provides baseline data on the sediment quality and fungal composition of stream and dam locations of River Kali of Kaiga region, which will develop as center of industrial activities in future. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to quantitatively testify the ' small-scale sequential star formation ' hypothesis in and around bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). As a continuation of the recent attempt by Ogura et al., we have carried out BVIc photometry of four more BRC aggregates along with deeper re-observations of two previously observed BRCs. Again, quantitative age gradients are found in almost all the BRCs studied in the present work. Archival Spitzer /Infrared Array Camera data also support this result. The global distribution of near-infrared excess stars in each H ii region studied here clearly shows evidence that a series of radiation-driven implosion processes proceeded in the past from near the central O star(s) towards the peripheries of the H ii region. We found that in general weak-line T-Tauri stars (WTTSs) are somewhat older than classical T-Tauri stars (CTTSs). Also the fraction of CTTSs among the T-Tauri stars (TTSs) associated with the BRCs is found to decrease with age. These facts are in accordance with the recent conclusion by Bertout, Siess & Cabrit that CTTSs evolve into WTTSs. It seems that in general the equivalent width of Hα emission in TTSs associated with the BRCs decreases with age. The mass function (MF) of the aggregates associated with the BRCs of the morphological type 'A' seems to follow that found in young open clusters, whereas 'B/C'-type BRCs show significantly steeper MF. 相似文献

The genetic diversity and variation of three pseudo‐species of the commercially important Indian conch Turbinella pyrum from the southeast coast of India were studied. A total of 88 individuals was genotyped at 12 loci and differences in the genetic diversity among genetic groups were correlated with known population histories. The study identified 535 alleles and all the studied loci were highly polymorphic. The number of alleles ranged between four and 29 with a global mean of 14.861. The global means of the observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.774 and 0.891, respectively. The estimated within‐population inbreeding value (FIS = 0.131) indicated a shortfall of heterozygosity in the populations. An analysis of molecular variance showed that 5% of the total variation was due to differences between genetic groups. The Bayesian approach revealed strong distinctiveness in the three genetic groups studied. Overall microsatellite analysis revealed less genetic diversity in all studied genetic groups and significant genetic variation among the three pseudo‐species. The study highlights the significant distinctiveness of the pseudo‐species of T. pyrum and the need for appropriate conservation efforts in order to prevent further losses of their genetic diversity. 相似文献

The existence of all the equilibrium points, their location and stability in the Robe's (1977) restricted three—body problem have been studied. It is seen that the center of the first primary is always an equilibrium point, whatever be the values of the density parameter K, eccentricity parameter eand mass parameter . The other equilibrium points exist only when K 0 and e = 0 that is when the second primary, a mass point, moves around the first, a spherical shell filled with fluid, in a circular orbit. When K > 1, there is one additional equilibrium point lying on the line joining the center of the first primary and the second primary. When K + = 1, there are infinite number of equilibrium points in the x—yplane lying on a circle of radius one and center as the second primary, provided the points are inside the spherical shell. When K < 0 and K + > 0, there are two more equilibrium points lying in the x—z plane forming triangles with the center of the shell and the second primary. Results of the stability of the equilibrium point (–,0,0), center of the first primary are the same as those given by Robe (1977). Circular points and triangular points are always unstable. The equilibrium point collinear with the center of the shell and the second primary is stable provided and Ksatisfy the inequality
.Thus, Robe's elliptic restricted three-body problem has only one equilibrium point for all values of the parameters Kand and Robes circular restricted three-body problem can have two, three or infinite number of equilibrium points depending upon the values of Kand . This is contrary to the classical-restricted problem where there are five equilibrium points, which are finite in number. Further, only the points collinear with the center of the shell and the second primary are stable in the Robe's problem where as in the classcial problem collinear points are unstable and triangular points are stable.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献
