The profiles of ^(234)Th/^(238)U activity ratio at the three stations all showed consistent ^(234)Th deficit as compared to ^(238)U in the upper 100 m water column.Based on the profiles of the dissolved and particulate ^(234)Th and a steady state box model,the dissolved ^(234)Th scavenging rates,the particulate ^(234)Th removal rates and their resident times were quantified.It was found that the POC downward export fluxes out of the upper 100 m euphotic zone ranged from 9.40 to 14.78 mmol·m^(-2)·d^(-1).The results from this study provide new information for our understanding of carbon biogeochemical cycle in the South China Sea.展开更多

There are a number of water masses in the East China Sea(ECS), a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean. However, it is difficult to clarify the proportion of water masses using traditional parameters, such as temperature, salinity, nutrient or DO because of the occurring of intensive biogeochemical processes in the near shore and shelf areas. Here, we reported the use of ^(234)U/^(238)Uactivity ratio embedded in the OMP method. The results indicate that seawater in the northern ECS mainly consisted of the estuarine water of Changjiang River(CEW), Kuroshio water(KW), and Yellow Sea Coastal Current(YSCC). In March 2017, the CEW only influenced the offshore waters shallower than30 m;the KW affected the east edge and the YSCC contributed more than 75% in the northern ECS.展开更多

To understand the level of new production in the sea area studied better, an estimate of new production must be obtained in large spatial and temporal scales. The ~234Th/ ~238U disequilibrium is an effective method for the study of new production. Two sampling strategies, vertically integrated sampling ap proach based on trapezoidal integration principle and discrete layer sampling approach, were compared in the studies of the xiamen Bay and the northern South China Sea.
