Impact of warm mesoscale eddy on tropical cyclone intensity
Jia Sun, Guihua Wang, Xuejun Xiong, Zhenli Hui, Xiaomin Hu, Zheng Ling, Long Yu, Guangbing Yang, Yanliang Guo, Xia Ju, Liang Chen
2020, 39(8): 1-13. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1617-x
Abstract:
The spatial-temporal patterns of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity changes caused by the warm ocean mesoscale eddy (WOME) distribution are evaluated using two sets of idealized numerical experiments. The results show that the TC was intensified and wea...

Abstract:
Based on the climatological reanalysis data of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the Arctic sea ice data of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the relationship between the Arctic sea ice area (SIA) and the interannual var...
Parameterization of the sea spray generation function with whitecap coverage
Jian Shi, Wenjing Zhang, Xueyan Zhang, Jingdong Liu, Zhenyu Liu
2020, 39(8): 24-33. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1618-9
Abstract:
Sea spray droplets are produced by waves breaking on the sea surface, and they vary the transfer of energy between the atmosphere and ocean. The sea spray generation function (SSGF) is generally considered as a function of the initial radius of the s...

Geochemical characteristics of platinum-group elements in polymetallic nodules from the Northwest Pacific Ocean
Zhongrong Qiu, Yanhui Dong, Weilin Ma, Weiyan Zhang, Kehong Yang, Hongqiao Zhao
2020, 39(8): 34-42. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1616-y
Abstract:
Polymetallic nodules and cobalt (Co)-rich crusts are enriched in platinum-group elements (PGEs), especially platinum (Pt) and may be important sinks of PGEs. At present, little information is available on PGEs in polymetallic nodules, and their geoch...

Connectivity of fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass-coral reef continuum in Wenchang, China
Jianguo Du, Meiling Xie, Yuyu Wang, Zehao Chen, Wenhua Liu, Jianji Liao, Bin Chen
2020, 39(8): 43-52. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1490-7
Abstract:
Understanding the connectivity of fish among different typical habitats is important for conducting ecosystem-based management, particularly when designing marine protected areas (MPA) or setting MPA networks. To clarify of connectivity among mangrov...
Impacts of sample size for stomach content analysis on the estimation of ecosystem indices
Dongyan Han, Chongliang Zhang, Ying Xue, Binduo Xu, Yiping Ren, Yong Chen
2020, 39(8): 53-61. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1633-x
Abstract:
This study used Ecopath model of the Jiaozhou Bay as an example to evaluate the effect of stomach sample size of three fish species on the projection of this model. The derived ecosystem indices were classified into three categories: (1) direct indic...
Zooplankton community size-structure change and mesh size selection under the thermal stress caused by a power plant in a semi-enclosed bay
Qianwen Shao, Yifeng Zhu, Meixia Dai, Xia Lin, Chengxu Zhou, Xiaojun Yan
2020, 39(8): 62-70. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1634-9
Abstract:
Zooplankton samples were collected using 505, 160 and 77 μm mesh nets around a power plant during four seasons in 2011. We measured total length of zooplankton and divided zooplankton into seven size classes in order to explore how zooplankton commun...
Evolution of shoals and vegetation of Jiuduansha in the Changjiang River Estuary of China in the last 30 years
Fengrun Wu, Chunfu Tong, Mitch Torkelson, Yan Wang
2020, 39(8): 71-78. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1636-7
Abstract:
The evolution of the shoals and vegetation plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the river regime and the estuarine ecosystem. However, the interaction between the evolution of shoals and vegetation dynamic has rarely been reported....
The profound influence of Kuroshio intrusion on microphytoplankton community in the northeastern South China Sea
Xingzhou Wang, Yuqiu Wei, Chao Wu, Congcong Guo, Jun Sun
2020, 39(8): 79-87. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1608-y
Abstract:
To further understand the effect of Kuroshio intrusion on phytoplankton community structure in the northeastern South China Sea (NSCS, 14°–23°N, 114°–124°E), one targeted cruise was carried out from July to August, 2017. A total of 79 genera and 287 ...

The pressure compensation technology of deep-sea sampling based on the real gas state equation
Shuo Wang, Shijun Wu, Canjun Yang
2020, 39(8): 88-95. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1637-6
Abstract:
Compressed gas is usually used for the pressure compensation of the deep-sea pressure-maintaining sampler. The pressure and volume of the recovered fluid sample are highly related to the precharged gas. To better understand the behavior of the gas un...
