Parameterizing sea surface temperature cooling induced by tropical cyclones using a multivariate linear regression model
WEI Jun, LIU Xin, JIANG Guoqing
2018, 37(1): 1-10. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1153-0
Abstract:
Combining a linear regression and a temperature budget formula, a multivariate regression model is proposed to parameterize and estimate sea surface temperature (SST) cooling induced by tropical cyclones (TCs). Three major dynamic and thermodynamic p...
A curvelet-based method to determine wave directions from nautical X-band radar images
ZHA Guozhen, HE Qingyou, GUAN Changlong, CHEN Jitao

Abstract:
The air temperature is one of the most important parameters used for monitoring the Arctic climate change. The constellation observing system for meteorology, ionosphere, and climate and Formosa Satellite Mission 3 (COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3) radio occultati...
Storm surge simulation along the Meghna estuarine area: an alternative approach
PAUL Gour Chandra, SENTHILKUMAR Sukumar, PRIA Rana
2018, 37(1): 40-49. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1157-9
Abstract:
In this study, numerical prediction of surges associated with a storm was made through the method of lines (MOL) in coordination with the newly proposed RKARMS (4, 4) method for the meghna estuarine region, along the coast of Bangladesh. For this pur...

Chemical kinetics evaluation and its application of natural gas generation derived from the Yacheng Formation in the deep-water area of the Qiongdongnan Basin, China
SU Long, ZHANG Dongwei, YANG Haizhang, CHEN Ying, CHEN Guojun, ZHENG Jianjing, XU Yongchang
2018, 37(1): 50-59. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1158-8
Abstract:
The natural gas generation process is simulated by heating source rocks of the Yacheng Formation, including the onshore-offshore mudstone and coal with kerogens of Type II2-III in the Qiongdongnan Basin. The aim is to quantify the natural gas generat...
The biogenic silica composition, behavior and budget in the Changjiang Estuary
RAN Xiangbin, LIU Jun, LIU Sen, ZANG Jiaye, WANG Baodong, ZHAO Jun
2018, 37(1): 60-72. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1159-7
Abstract:
Three comprehensive surveys were performed in the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary (CJE) to understand the biogenic silica (BSi) composition, behavior and budget. It is indicated that the BSi is composed of phytoliths, phytoplankton and sponges; ph...

Geochemical and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic compositions of volcanic rocks from the Iheya Ridge, the middle Okinawa Trough: implications for petrogenesis and a mantle source
LI Xiaohui, ZENG Zhigang, CHEN Shuai, MA Yao, YANG Huixin, ZHANG Yuxiang
2018, 37(1): 73-88. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1118-8
Abstract:
As an active back-arc basin, the Okinawa Trough is located in the southeastern region of the East China Sea shelf and is strongly influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate. Major element, trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic composition...
The distribution and composition of hydrocarbons in sediments of the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge
HUANG Xin, CHEN Shuai, WANG Xiaoyuan, ZHANG Shuwen, CHEN Fajin, PU Xiaoqiang
2018, 37(1): 89-96. doi: 10.1007/s13131-018-1160-1
Abstract:
Sediment samples obtained from the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge are analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) for the abundances and distributions of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons in the samples exhibit a bimodal distribution of n-alkan...
