东海海洋环境监测网浮标观测站布设及其科学意义

The distribution and scientific significance of marine environmental-monitoring buoys in the East China Sea

基于海洋环境监测现状与发展,针对目前东海区浮标站位较少、布局不均和观测功能设置不完善等限制了其在海洋预报、防灾减灾、维权执法等方面保障功能的提高问题,为满足东海区观测形势需要,结合重要流系和重要海洋现象监测、台风与风暴潮预警预报、海洋权益维护及保障等需求,设计了较为科学合理的东海区浮标观测网布局。在现有浮标观测系统的基础上增加18个浮标站位,其中包含11个10m浮标、7个3m浮标和3个潜标,新的东海区浮标观测网系统将与海洋(台)站、海上平台、海基床、岸基雷达等观测系统共同构建东海区实时立体海洋观测网。

With respect to the observational capacity of the network of marine environmental-monitoring buoys in the East China Sea, we focus on the issues of the number of buoys, the uneven distribution of buoys, and incomplete observation functionality. The present observational capacity of the marine environmental-monitoring buoys limits conifdence in marine forecasts, disaster prevention, and law enforcement. To meet the observational needs in the area of the East China Sea, combined with the requirements of typhoon storm forecasts and alerts, the protection of marine rights and interests, and the importance of the sea-current system and other marine phenomena, an improved distribution of buoys has been designed for the East China Sea. A total of 18 new monitoring stations were added to the existing system, and the new layout contains eleven 10-m buoys, seven 3-m buoys, and three submarine buoys. The new buoy observation system in the East China Sea, together with ocean stations, an offshore platform, a sea-bed observation system, and shore-based radar, constitutes a real-time, three-dimensional ocean observation network.
