发现 平脸琵琶鱼

近日，科学家在印度尼西亚海域发现了一种像人类一样眼朝前看、并且是爬行而非游动的平脸琵琶鱼，种种特征表明，这种拳头大小的鱼很可能代表着鱼类中的一个全新家族，之所以说它是琵琶鱼，是因为它的腿状胸鳍跟常见的琵琶鱼几乎一样不过．     

基于HYCOM模拟的南海西北部环流

为研究北部湾在内的南海西北部海域环流结构的时空特征,本文基于Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model(HYCOM)模式和气象强迫数据,通过三重嵌套模拟研究南海西北部环流在风力强迫下的结构及其时空分布特征,结果表明:(1)南海西北部流场受季风影响较大,冬季基本为西南向流,夏季基本为东向流,流场结构复杂,外海涡旋众多,Ekman运动特征较为明显;(2)北部湾流场呈现出较强的密度流特征,冬季基本为气旋式环流,夏季同时存在较小尺度的气旋式和反气旋式环流; 7月湾口表层的气旋式环流结构向下直接影响到海底;(3)北部湾的海表面盐度受蒸发降雨影响较大,盐度分布西低东高,这与湾口和琼州海峡入侵的南海高盐海水有关;(4)在热盐作用和季风驱动下,琼州海峡的表、底层流冬季为西向流,夏季为东向流,冬季广东沿海地区的富营养化海水可能通过琼州海峡影响广西近海海域环境质量。     

1980-2015年间北部湾海域热带气旋的变化及特征分析

由于地理特征独特,北部湾地区常年遭受热带气旋的影响。热带气旋引起的波浪灾害和风暴潮灾害对广西沿海经济、生活造成了巨大影响。本文采用中国气象局热带气旋最佳路径数据集,研究了1980—2015年间进入北部湾的热带气旋的变化及特征,对北部湾海域内热带气旋的频数、强度、持续时长、功耗指数等年际趋势变化进行分析。结果表明:1980—2015年,北部湾地区热带气旋的频数、持续时长呈波动减小趋势,其强度呈波动增加趋势,整体上功率耗散系数(Power Dissipation Index,PDI)的正效应大于负效应。本研究为北部湾地区的海洋防灾减灾提供了相关科学依据。     

渤海中部海域大型湖底扇地球物理响应及勘探意义

针对渤海中部海域大型湖底扇边界识别及富砂性预测难度大的问题,基于砂质碎屑流湖底扇沉积模式,综合利用古近系东营组第二段下亚段钻井岩性、测井、薄片、地震数据等资料,对湖底扇沉积特征、地震响应特征进行系统分析和描述.在此基础上,利用地层切片、多属性预测及正演模拟等技术对湖底扇内幕进行刻画,落实内部多期扇体的空间分布特征,预测有利砂体发育部位.该湖底扇毗邻烃源岩,岩性圈闭面积大,盖层广泛发育,油气运移聚集条件优越,是岩性油气藏勘探的重要靶区.     

厦门未来海岸在哪里

作为一个从事地球科学工作近40年的老科技工作者．提起笔来写这个题目时．心情是十分沉重的。近年来．作为厦门重点建设的工业区、产业带、海港航运物流园区、高级住宅区．海沧加大开发力度。沿九龙江口北岸建设大型深水码头．环西海域建设滨海大道、未来海岸和梦幻海岸高级住宅区等等。然而，依然采用继续向海域扩张．填海造陆的老方法。这势必进一步影响到厦门周边的海洋动力条件。     

Is there any amphidromic point of S2 constituent around the Natuna Islands in the southern South China Sea？

The discrepancies that if there is any amphidromic point of S2 constituent and its location if there is around the Natuna Islands in the southem South China Sea have suspended for a long time, however, there is always no convincing research to settle them up to now. The TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 altimeters have been providing a long-term sea surface height data, which can be used to calculate the constants of tidal constituents along the satellite footprint with the harmonic analysis method. Based on more than 12 years altimetry data from T/P and Jason-1, the character of phase lags from harmonic analysis is used to identify if there is a S2 amphidromic point around the Natuna Islands. The result shows that there is no S2 amphidromic point instead of a nodal line of a standing wave, and the amplitude of S2 constituent is close to zero along the nodal line.     

科技时尚——海底大地震

2004年12月26日，圣诞节刚过，印尼苏门答腊岛北面海域发生强烈地震引发海啸，席卷东南亚多个国家，造成了数十万人死亡、重大的经济损失。惨痛的损失令人心惊，海底地震的惊人破坏力令人心悸。陆地上的地震我们已经通过媒体见得多了，但是，地震能够发生在深海而且还有这么大的危害人们可能不太了解。     

Distribution of diatoms in the water and surface sediments of southern South China Sea

The relationship of species and abundance between the diatoms in the water and sediments from the southern South China Sea （SCS） were discussed, and the key environmental controlling factors were also investigated. Studies show that the diatom abundance is high in both water and sediments in the southeast part of the southern SCS and the varying trend is similar, while in the northwest part, the abundance is low, and the varying trend is different. The dominant diatom species are Thalassionema nitzschioides and Nitzschia bicapitata in water, and T. nitzschioides and Chaetoceros messanensis in sediments. The diatom species of small size and thin shell in water are more than in the sediments, while the diatom species of large size and thick shell in water are less. The percentage of species T. nitzschioides is higher in water of southeast part than in that of northwest part, but it is similar in sediments of both areas. It is shown that the southwest monsoon is the important factor influencing diatom abundance and T. nitzschioides percentage, and when the southwest monsoon is well developed, the distribution of diatom abundance and T. nitzschioides percentage are consistent in both water and sediments of the study area.     

南海春季南沙海区上层暖水及其动力机制的数值研究

通过对南海春季（2002年2～5月）南沙海区月平均海面温度的卫星遥感资料及2002年5月的现场实测的CTD资料分析表明，该海域春季位于巴拉望岛西部的上层水体存在着一强度相对较弱的暖水舌，该暖水明显不同于巴拉巴克海峡东南部的冷水，且其相对温差从冬季到春季逐渐减弱．根据现场实测资料，利用P矢量方法对流场进行的计算结果表明，该暖水区所在的流场位于一个反气旋性弯曲的范围内．通过一个单层／两层耦合模式，利用与观测同一时期的风应力卫星遥感资料，来探讨该暖水所对应的反气旋性弯曲流场形成的动力机制．数值模拟结果表明，该反气旋性弯曲很可能是冬季遗留下来的残留反气旋涡，而不太可能是由苏禄海通过巴拉巴克海峡的进入南海的入流所形成．     

Observation of internal tides and near-inertial motions in the upper 450 m layer of the northern South China Sea

Mooring ADCP current observations from August to November are used to study the barotropic tides, baroclinic tides and near-inertial motions in the upper 450 m layer of the northern South China Sea. The barotropic and baroclinic tides at the mooring station are all dominated by M2, K1, O1, P1, with the barotropic amplitudes being 7.8 cm·s^-1, 7.0 cm·s^-1, 5.4 cm·s^-1 and 3.5 cm·s^-1 respectively. The amplitudes of M2, K1, O1, P1 internal tides vary greatly, which are 12--15 cm·s^-1 in the thermocline, and then decrease with increasing depth. The amplitude of the barootropic near-inertial motions is less than 1 cm·s^-1, contributing little to the barotropic currents. However, that of the baroclinic nearinertial motions can be as large as 5 cm·s^-1. The inclination of tidal ellipse tends to increase with increasing depth, implying upward propagation of energy, while that of the near-inertial ellipse tends to decrease with increasing depth, implying downward propagation of energy.
