Impact of the water input from the eastern Qiongzhou Strait to the Beibu Gulf on Guangxi coastal circulation
CHEN Bo, Xu Zhixin, Ya Hanzheng, CHEN Xianyun, Xu Mingben
2019, 38(9): 1-11. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1472-2
Abstract:
Based on a comparison of synchronized temperature and salinity data collected in the eastern Qiongzhou Strait and at coastal marine stations, this study finds that, in summer, the variation in salinity near the Weizhou Island in Guangxi is similar to...
Modal structure and propagation of internal tides in the northeastern South China Sea
LIU Qian, XIE Xiaohui, SHANG Xiaodong, CHEN Guiying, WANG Hong
2019, 38(9): 12-23. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1473-1
Abstract:
The evolution of energy, energy flux and modal structure of the internal tides (ITs) in the northeastern South China Sea is examined using the measurements at two moorings along a cross-slope section from the deep continental slope to the shallow con...
Salinity effects on the 2014 warm “Blob” in the Northeast Pacific
ZHI Hai, LIN Pengfei, ZHANG Rong-Hua, CHAI Fei, LIU Hailong
2019, 38(9): 24-34. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1450-2
Abstract:
A significant strong, warm "Blob" (a large circular water body with a positive ocean temperature anomaly) appeared in the Northeast Pacific (NEP) in the boreal winter of 2013-2014, which induced many extreme climate events in the US and Canada. In th...
Numerical simulations and comparative analysis for two types of storm surges in the Bohai Sea using a coupled atmosphere-ocean model
LI Yong, CHEN Xin, JIANG Xingyu, LI Jianfen, TIAN Lizhu
2019, 38(9): 35-47. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1383-9
Abstract:
The Bohai Sea is extremely susceptible to storm surges induced by extratropical storms and tropical cyclones in nearly every season. In order to relieve the impacts of storm surge disasters on structures and human lives in coastal regions, it is very...
Assessment of Arctic sea ice simulations in CMIP5 models using a synthetical skill scoring method
Wu Liping, Yang Xiao-Yi, Hu Jianyu
2019, 38(9): 48-58. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1474-0
Abstract:
The Arctic sea ice cover has declined at an unprecedented pace since the late 20th century. As a result, the feedback of sea ice anomalies for atmospheric circulation has been increasingly evidenced. While climatic models almost consistently reproduc...

Origin of Cu in the PACMANUS hydrothermal field from the eastern Manus back-arc basin: evidence from mass balance modeling
Ma Yao, Wang Xiaoyuan, Chen Shuai, Yin Xuebo, Zhu Bowen, Guo Kun, Zeng Zhigang
2019, 38(9): 59-70. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1475-z
Abstract:
Hydrothermal precipitates associated with active vents in the eastern Manus Basin, an actively opening back-arc basin in the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea, are among the most Cu-rich on the modern seafloor. The volcanic rocks associated with this mi...
Revisiting the dependence of thermocline-dwelling foraminiferal B/Ca on temperature and [CO32-], and its application in reconstruction of the subsurface carbonate system in the tropical western Pacific since 24 ka
GUO Jingteng, LI Tiegang, XIONG Zhifang, QIU Xiaohua, CHANG Fengming
2019, 38(9): 71-86. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1476-y
Abstract:
The B/Ca ratio of planktonic foraminifer shells has been used as a proxy for reconstructing past ocean carbonate chemistry. However, recent studies have revealed significant uncertainties associated with this proxy, such as whether seawater temperatu...
The Cenozoic activities of Yangjiang-Yitongdong Fault: insights from analysis of the tectonic characteristics and evolution processes in western Zhujiang (Pearl) River Mouth Basin
LI Yuhan, ZHU Rongwei, LIU Hailing, QIU Xuelin, HUANG Haibo
2019, 38(9): 87-101. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1477-x
Abstract:
The Yangjiang-Yitongdong Fault (YJF) is an important NW-trending regional fault, which divides the Zhujiang (Pearl) River Mouth Basin (ZRMB) into western and eastern segments. In Cenozoic, the northern continental margin of the South China Sea (SCS) ...

A numerical model with Stokes drift for pollutant transport within the surf zone on a plane beach
REN Chunping, LIANG Rongrong, YU Chong, BAI Yuchuan
2019, 38(9): 102-112. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1478-9
Abstract:
This study examines the effects of Stokes drift on pollutant transport within the surf zone on a plane beach both numerically and experimentally. Firstly, the numerical model is described. The wave-induced current is modeled using the concept of the ...
Flammability risk assessment for oil spill response operations
Hospital Aurelien, Miguez Travis, Stronach James
2019, 38(9): 113-119. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1479-8
Abstract:
Immediately following a spill at sea, released oil-ranging from diesel to light crude and diluted bitumen, will initially weather through evaporation, resulting in an elevated concentration of light hydrocarbons in the air. As part of oil spill respo...
