STUDY ON TIDAL WAVES OF THE QIANTANGJIANG RIVER
XU BAOZHI, JIN LIANFU, ZHAO SHBNQI
1984, (3): 303-312.
Abstract:
In this paper, the characteristic difference schemes are adopted and the proof calculation of actual measurement data of the Qiantangjiang River is made.The calculating result is in agreement with actual measurement data and conforms with the requirements of the engineering (see Table 1, Table 2 and Fig.2).
In the end, the hydraulics model Eq. (16) is discussed and the discussion shows that the characteristic difference schemes (21) can be used to calculate the tidal bore (discontinuity solutions) because the schemes have a pesudo-viscous term (see Theorem Ⅰ.)
ON THE EFFECT OF PHYSICO-GEOTECHNICALCHARACTERISTICS UPON SOUND VELOCITIESOF SEA FLOOR SEDIMENTS
LIANG YUANBO, LU BO
1984, (3): 313-320.
Abstract:
This paper aims at revealing the correlation between microtexture of sediments and their acoustic presentation as well as the effect of phytico-geotechntcal characteristics upon sound velocities of the sea floor.Our results show that the unconfined pressing strength can be used as a supplement to the velocity calculation based on the porosity for sediments.Thil would improve results calculated leaving the pore structure out of consideration as the equation given by R.S.Anderson, in no respect to measuring the microtexture of pores.

ZHANG MINQIANG, SHI XINGQI, LIN XUEQING, LI WEI, LAN BOGUI, KB LUYANG, HUANG XIAODAN
1984, (3): 321-326.
Abstract:
Marine biological choruses observed in Xiamen harbour from August 1981 to October 1982 lasted for a few hours each time during the neap tide in spring, summer and autumn, in both the evening and the morning, with molt energy at frequencies between 700 Hz and 1.6 kHz and spectral peaks mainly at 800 Hz, 1 kHz and 1.25 kHz.During choruses, noise spectrum levels rose up to 46 dB higher than the background noise in the sea Mate 0.The statistics of occurrence of the evening choruses indicate that they might be fairly widespread in and near shallow waters of the region.Sources of such choruses are likely to be attributed to Johnnius belengerii and Collichthys lucidus of the family Sciaenidae.
Marine Meteorology
LARGE-SCALE CIRCULATION CONDITIONS AFFECTINGTHE TYPHOON FORMATION OVER THENORTHWEST PACIFIC
DING YIHUI, ELMAR R. RBITBr
1984, (3): 327-338.
Abstract:
A contrasting study of the large-scale circulation features responsible for months with many typhoons and months with tew typhoons has revealed that the frequency of typhoon formation over the Northwest Pacific is related to the following conditions:
Over the Northwest Pacific, a well-defined ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) extending eastward to 160°E was displaced to 20°N.At 200 mb, an extensive anomalous anticyclonic circulation prevails over the western and central Pacific.The condition characteristic of a break in the monsoon prevailed in India.The monsoon trough at 500 mb and at the surface over the Indian Peninsula was relatively weak and was accompanied by higher-than-normal rainfall in the northern part of India and lower-than-normal rainfall over the peninsula.In addition, the polar vortex tends to be weak and move to the side of the Northern Hemisphere, opposite to the North Pacific.Finally, abnormally warm water was observed over the Central and Eastern Pacific and abnormally cold water over the West Pacific in summer as well as in the preceding spring.
VARIATIONS OF THE SUMMER MONSOON IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
TAO LIWEN, WANG XIAODONG
1984, (3): 339-348.
Abstract:
In this paper we investigated the variations of summer montoon in the South China Sea.We found that there are two kinds of oscillations in the intensity of the monsoon, one has a period of forty days, the other, fourteen days.We also found that the oscillation of a period of forty days is caused by the alternative extension of the monsoon trough eastward in the South China Sea and the extension of the subtropical anticyclone westward in the West Pacific.
It is our opinion that the summer monsoon in the West Pacific and the South China Sea is a system which is independent of the Indian monsoon and that the dividing line between these two monsoon systems is at the longitude 100°E.

DETERMINATION OF 65Zn IN SEAWATER, MARINE ORGANISMS AND SEDIMENTS
ZOU HANYANG, WU SHIYAN, CHEN JINXING
1984, (3): 363-368.
Abstract:
The methods of ion exchange-elcctrodcposition, ion exchange-precipitation for source-making, and for determining 65Zn in marine environment have been studied in detail.The chemical and radiochemical yields are 90% for organism and sediment, and 85% for seawater.They have good repeatability with a precision of 3%.The decontamination factors for radioactive nuclides are larger than 103.The preconcentration of seawater and the electrode position for source-making are significantly improved and can be used on thin and even source-measucing, applicable to low background β counting.
RESEARCH ON THE DETERMINATION OF Pb, Cd, Cu AND Zn IN SEAWATER BY STRIPPING VOLTAMMETRY
XU QINGHUI, HUANG JIANGHUAI, LÜ RONGHUI, HUANG MINFEN
1984, (3): 369-375.
Abstract:
In this paper, a comparison viral made between the two results of determining Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn in seawater by direct current (tripping voltammetry (DCS) with rotating glass carbon electrode and by differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPS) with hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE).By DCS, the range of linear calibration curves obtained was 4×10-3 M-2×10-7M for Cu, Zn and Cd, and 4×10-9M-2×10-3M for Pb.By using DPS, the range of linear calibration curve was as follows:Cu 0.65-1.9 ppb; Pb 1.0-10 ppb; Zn 0.65-2.0 ppb; Cd 0.02-0.14 ppb.It was found that DCS could be used for determining Pb, Cu, Zn in coastal waters, but it is necessary to add gallium ion to it to eliminate the interference of Cu-Zn inter-metallic compound for determining Zn.The DPS is better for determinig Cd.

GAO JIANXI, LÜ CHENGGONG, LIU BINCHANG, LI WBNQIN, BAI YELONG
1984, (3): 376-384.
Abstract:
Two cores and ten surface sediment samples were taken in the western area of Mid-Pacific during the investigation from December 1978 to July 1979.According to the analysis of planktonic foraminifera and CaCO3 in the surface samples, the investigated area is divided into three different sediment regions.The initial depth of lysocline of this area is estimated at about 3500 m and the CaCO3 compensation depth (CCD) is 5000 m.The water depth of the sediment core at L2016 is 2705 m and it is located above the lysocline.The sediments belong to white planktonic foraminiferal ooze.The evolution of paleoclimate is studied according to the variation of the following three parameters:the abundance value of the species indicating warm of planktonic foriminifera, the solution index and the determination of the paleotemperature carve of δ18O.The age of 4.2 m-long core is estimated at about 300, 000 years BP according to the extinct time of the pink shell G.rubra, and the comparison between cores.

LI SHANWEI
1984, (3): 398-408.
Abstract:
Bated on the paleogcomagnetum ot the sediments derived from drilling cores in the Jiao-zhou Bay and the 14C-dating, combined with the analyses of the paleomicrobiology, spore-pollen, grain size and ainino acid, the following results are obtained:(ⅰ) Structural fractures formed the framework for the Jiaozhou Bay. (ⅱ) jiaozhou Bay was a continental basin during the low tea level of the glacial period in 20000-11000 yr BP. (ⅲ) Sea level rose again, thus forming the initial Jiaozhou Bay during the poit-glacial period since 11000 yr BP. (ⅳ) Distribution of the sub-marinf relief of the Jiaozhou Bay was finally formed due to the reconstruction of As tidal current and the fluvial hydrodynamical actions, (ⅴ) It can be estimated that the Holocene of the jiaozhou Bay began at 11000 yr BP on the basis of the comparison between the sedirnental characteristics of the Jiaozhou Bay and that of the Huaoghai Sea.

CAI FULONG, CHEN YING, XU PIAN
1984, (3): 433-436.
Abstract:
The pathway by which 60Co and 137Cs got into Area, and the type of uptake in animal were studied.The results showed that 60Co was taken up by gill and was transferred quickly to other organs through blood.There are more uptake pathways for 137Cs.The uptake of 60Co by Arca was mainly active transfer and the energy comes mainly from the process of biotic oxidation.On the contrary, the uptake of 137Cs by Arca was mainly a passive transfer, and for most organs the exchange through body-wall was a significant factor.

ZHAO DBMING, LIU ZERBN, SHEN TONGMEI, MEI XIUHUA, SHI ZHONGYUAN
1984, (3): 441-449.
Abstract:
During N2-O2 simulated saturation at a depth of 36.5 m the frequency, amplitude and index of a waves decreased and the activities of β and θ wave increased on the EEGs at rest.After the pressure was decompressed to normal, they could recover to the predive level.During the air excursion diving at depths of 60 and 70 m, the paramenters of EEG approximated to those of N2-O2 exposure.But at that time of the air excursion diving at a depth of 75 m they appeared the maximum.This showed that the changes related to the nitrogen partial pressure.There was an increase in slow waves during the simulated N2-O2 saturation.The activities of slow wave decreased on the EEGs in case of hyperventilation.The photic stimulation to the eyes caused the slow wave to disappear, and a rhythm could recover temporarily.When the photic stimulation was over the flow rhythm reappeared on the EEG.
