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. The scavenging fluxes and removal fluxes of ~234Th and the residence times for dissolved and particulate ~234Th were calculated. The coinci dent results from two Sampling approach suggest that vertically integrated sampling approach is not only effective and reliable, but also significantly reduces the number and volume of samples. It allows us to study new production by ba ^(234)Th - ^(238)U disequilibria in large spatial scale.展开更多

Based on the conditional distribution coefficients (Kd ) of chemicals and residence times of particle and waters, the model can be used to predict the fractions of pollutants which would be scavenged to sediments and would escape from the system. The model is calibrated using scavenging data derived from 234 Th - 238U disequilibrium. The fate of a potential pollutant which will be scavenged is a function of the properties of the chemical, of the particle dynamics, and of the waters dynamics in the environment. It is inappropriate to overlook any factor.展开更多
