The characteristics of sea fog with different airflow over the Huanghai Sea in boreal spring
HUANG Jian, WANG Xin, ZHOU Wen, HUANG Huijun, WANG Dongxiao, ZHOU Faxiu
2010, (4): 3-12. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
Using the observations from ICOADS datasets and contemporaneous NCEP/NCAR reanalysis datasets during 1960-2002, the study classifies the airflows in favor of sea fog over the Huanghai (Yellow) Sea in boreal spring (April-May) with the method of traje...
Satellite-based RAR performance simulation for measuring directional ocean wave spectrum based on SAR inversion spectrum
REN Lin, MAO Zhihua, HUANG Haiqing, GONG Fang
2010, (4): 13-20. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
Some missions have been carried out to measure wave directional spectrum by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and airborne real aperture radar (RAR) at a low incidence. Both them have their own advantages and limitations. Scientists hope that SAR and sa...
Ocean color products retrieval and validation around China coast with MODIS
SUN Ling, GUO Maohua, WANG Xiaomei
2010, (4): 21-27. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
Waters along China coast are very turbid with high concentrations of suspended sediment nearly all the time, especially at the Hangzhou Bay, the Changjiang (Yangtze) River Estuary and the shoal along Jiangsu Province. In these turbid and optically co...
A detection model of underwater topography with a series of SAR images acquired at different time
YANG Jungang, ZHANG Jie, MENG Junmin
2010, (4): 28-37. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
underwater topography is one of oceanic features detected by Synthetic Aperture Radar. Underwater topography SAR imaging mechanism shows that tidal current is the important factor for underwater topography SAR imaging. Thus under the same wind field ...
Delineating suspended sediment concentration patterns in surface waters of the Changjiang Estuary by remote sensing analysis
LI Jing, GAO Shu, WANG Yaping
2010, (4): 38-47. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
Three Landsat TM imageries (taken on 18 May 1987, 4 August 1998 and 28 July 2007) were used as the data source to identify the spatial and temporal variations of the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in surface waters of the Changjiang Estuary. ...
Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of volcanic rocks from the northern East China Sea shelf margin and the Okinawa Trough
ZENG Zhigang, YU Shaoxiong, WANG Xiaoyuan, FU Yongtao, YIN Xuebo, ZHANG Guoliang, WANG Xiaomei, CHEN Shuai
2010, (4): 48-61. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
Volcanic rocks both from the northern East China Sea (NECS) shelf margin and the northern Okinawa Trough are subalkaline less aluminous, and lower in High Field Strength Elements (HFSE). These rocks are higher in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE),...
A preliminary study on fingerprinting approach in marine sediment dynamics with the rare earth elements
ZHOU Xiaojing, LI Anchun, JIANG Fuqing, MENG Qingyong
2010, (4): 62-77. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
Locating the quantitized natural sediment fingerprints is an important work for marine sediment dynamics study. The total of 146 sediment samples were collected from the Shelf of the East China Sea and five rivers, including Huanghe (Yellow), Changji...

2010, (4): 78-87. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0054-7
Abstract:
The production of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) by marine microalgae was investigated to elucidate more on the role of marine phytoplankton in ocean-atmosphere interactions in the global biogeochemical sulfur cycle. Axen...
