Spring mesoscale high in the western South China Sea
HE Zhigang, ZHANG Yan, WANG Dongxiao
2013, 32(6): 1-5. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0318-0
Abstract:
A recurring spring mesoscale eddy in the western South China Sea (SCS) is studied using remote sensing data and historical in situ observations. The feature first appears east of the central Vietnam coast in February as a high sea-level anomaly, grow...
Air-sea interactions associated with tropospheric biennial oscillation in South China Sea summer monsoon and their effects on El Niño-Southern Oscillation
ZHENG Bin, LU Feng, WEI Hongcheng
2013, 32(6): 6-12. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0319-z
Abstract:
The South China Sea summer monsoon (SCSSM) behaves with prominent climate variability from the intraseasonal to interdecadal time scales. On the interannual time scale, the biennial variability (so-called tropospheric biennial oscillation, TBO) is as...
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide and air-sea fluxes in the Changjiang River Estuary and adjacent Hangzhou Bay
YU Peisong, ZHANG Haisheng, ZHENG Minhui, PAN Jianming, BAI Yan
2013, 32(6): 13-17. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0320-6
Abstract:
The distributions of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in the surface waters of the Changjiang River Estuary and adjacent Hangzhou Bay were examined in the summer of 2010. Surface water pCO2 ranged from 751-2 095 μatm (1 atm=101 325 Pa) in th...
Determination of cosmogenic 32P and 33P in environmental samples
CHEN Min, YANG Zhi, ZHANG Lei, QIU Yusheng, MA Qiang, HUANG Yipu
2013, 32(6): 18-25. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0305-5
Abstract:
Understanding phosphorus dynamics in marine environment is of great importance, and appropriate tracers for phosphorus cycling in oceans are invaluable. In this study, two methods were developed for extraction, purification, and determination of natu...
Chemical properties of colored dissolved organic matter in the sea-surface microlayer and subsurface water of Jiaozhou Bay, China in autumn and winter
ZHANG Jing, YANG Guipeng
2013, 32(6): 26-39. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0306-4
Abstract:
The distribution and chemical properties of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the Jiaozhou Bay, China were examined during four cruises in 2010-2011. The influence of freshwater and industrial and municipal sewage along the eastern coas...
Differentiation of coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus) based on an analysis of morphology and complete mitochondrial DNA: Are cryptic species present?
CAI Xiaopeng, QU Meng, DING Shaoxiong, WANG Hangjun, WANG Hongjie, HU Luyi, SU Yongquan
2013, 32(6): 40-46. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0304-6
Abstract:
Two morphotypes of Plectropomus leopardus have been identified; morphometric and meristic analyses show that there is no diagnostic difference between them. A difference in color pattern was the most appropriate phenotypic character with which to dis...
Enhancement of the benthic communities around an isolated island in the Antarctic Ocean
José I Saiz, Nuria Anadón, Javier Cristobo, Oscar García-Alvarez, Gerardo García-Castrillo, Eduardo López, Cruz Palacín, Jesús S Troncoso, Ana Ramos
2013, 32(6): 47-55. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0321-5
Abstract:
Insular marine biotas are often richer in faunal diversity than those from the open sea in the same geographical region. The existence of particular island effects were tested under polar conditions by comparing infaunal benthic assemblages on Peter ...
Factors regulating population dynamics of the amphipod Ampithoe valida in a eutrophic subtropical coastal lagoon
ZHENG Xinqing, HUANG Lingfeng, HUANG Bangqin, LIN Yongqing
2013, 32(6): 56-65. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0322-4
Abstract:
Year-round investigations were carried out to address the population dynamics of amphipod Ampithoe valida and its potential regulating factors in the Yundang Lagoon (a eutrophic subtropical coastal lagoon in Xiamen City, China) from October 2007 to O...
Phylogenetic diversity of planktonic bacteria in the Chukchi Borderland region in summer
ZENG Yinxin, YU Yong, LI Huirong, HE Jianfeng, LEE Sang H, SUN Kun
2013, 32(6): 66-74. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0271-y
Abstract:
Planktonic bacteria are abundant in the Chukchi Borderland region. However, little is known about their diversity and the roles of various bacteria in the ocean. Seawater samples were collected from two stations K2S and K4S where sea ice was melting ...
Molecular diversity of Thermococcales isolated from Guaymas Basin hydrothermal vents
LIU Lupeng, WANG Fengping, XU Jun, XIAO Xiang

Abstract:
Members of Thermococcales are organoheterotrophic hyperthermophilic anaerobes consisting of three genera, Thermococcus, Pyrococcus, and Palaeococcus, among which Thermococcus are the most frequently isolated. In this study, a variety of Thermococcale...
