2018, 37(3): 51-62. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1102-3
Abstract:
The present climate simulations of the mixed layer depth (MLD) and the subduction rate in the subtropical Northeast Pacific are investigated based on nine of the CMIP5 models. Compared with the observation data, spatial patterns of the MLD and the su...
Potential effects of subduction rate in the key ocean on global warming hiatus
CHEN Xingrong, LIU Shan, CAI Yi, ZHANG Shouwen
2018, 37(3): 63-68. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1130-z
Abstract:
In this study, the possible effects of subduction rate on global warming hiatus were investigated using Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) data. This study first analyzed the characteristics of the temporal and spatial distribution of global subdu...
The long-term prediction of the oil-contaminated water from the Sanchi collision in the East China Sea
YIN Liping, ZHANG Min, ZHANG Yuanling, QIAO Fangli
2018, 37(3): 69-72. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1193-5
Abstract:
The condensate and bunker oil leaked from the Sanchi collision would cause a persistent impact on marine ecosystems in the surrounding areas. The long-term prediction for the distribution of the oil-polluted water and the information for the most aff...

Wave flume experiments on the contribution of seabed fluidization to sediment resuspension
ZHANG Shaotong, JIA Yonggang, WANG Zhenhao, WEN Mingzheng, LU Fang, ZHANG Yaqi, LIU Xiaolei, SHAN Hongxian
2018, 37(3): 80-87. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1143-2
Abstract:
Sediment resuspension is commonly assumed to be eroded from the seabed surface by an excess bottom shear stress and evolves in layers from the top down. Although considerable investigations have argued the importance of wave-induced seabed fluidizati...
