The following conclusions are drawn from the analysis： the tidal current pattern in the open sea area to the east of Zhoushan Islands is primarily regular semidiurnal, which is significantly affected by the shallow water constituents. The directions of the major axes of tidal current ellipses of M2 lie approx- imately in the NW-SE direction. With the increasing of distance away from the coast, the directions of the tidal current ellipses gradually shift toward the E-W direction. The tidal currents are mainly reversing cur- rents. The spatial distribution of probable maximum current velocities decreases gradually from northeast to southwest which is basically in accordance with the spatial distribution of measured maximum current velocities. The residual currents near the coast are larger than those far away from the coast. The directions of the residual currents are basically north by east, and the angle to the due north increases gradually with the increasing distance away from the coast. The topography shows a certain impact on the spatial distri- bution of shallow water constituents, the rotation of tidal currents, the probable maximum currents and the residual currents.展开更多

Specifically, we used in-situ measurements to evaluate the performance of seven packages of input/dissipation source terms in the WW3 model. We forced the WW3 model by wind fields derived from a combination of the parametric Holland model and high-resolution European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF) wind data in a 0.125? grid, herein called H-E winds. We trained the H-E winds by fitting a shape parameter B to buoy-measured observations, which resulted in a smallest root mean square error(RMSE) of 3 m s^(-1) for B, when treated as a constant 0.4. Then, we applied the seven input/dissipation terms of WW3, labelled ST1, ST2, ST2+STAB2, ST3, ST3+STAB3, ST4, and ST6, to simulate the significant wave height(SWH) up to 5 m during typhoons Fungwong and Chan-hom around the Zhoushan Islands. We then compared the SWHs of the simulated waves with those measured by the in-situ buoys. The results indicate that the simulation using ST2 performs best with an RMSE of 0.79 m for typhoon Fung-wong and an RMSE of 1.12 m for typhoon Chan-hom. Interestingly, we found the simulated SWH results to be relatively higher than those of the observations in the area between Hangzhou Bay and the Zhoushan Islands. This behavior is worthy of further investigation in the future.展开更多

Results revealed that the concentration of diuron in seawater varies from less than (3.0 to 52.1) ng·L-1, with an average level of less than 11.1 ng.L-1. The annual average content was less than 7.9 ng.L-1, 13.9 ng.L-1, and 12.3 ng.L-1 in 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively. The concentrations of diuron in marine sediments also varied from less than (0.3 to 3.9) ng.g-1 (dry weight), with an average concentration of less than 1.13 ng g-1 (dry weight). The annual average concentration was less than 0.851 ng.g-1, 1.328 ng.g-1, and 1.202 ng.g-1 in 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively. The accumulation of diuron in seawater and sediments may pose a potential risk to the marine ecosystem of the investigated sea area.展开更多

Results show that, undertopographic influences of Zhoushan Islands, the westward-moving landfall TC deflects. And, small orographichighs and enhanced rainfall caused by climbing airflow on the windward slope of main mountains of theseislands are a result of effects of Zhoushan Islands. These results display some particular laws of effects ofsmall-sized islands on the landfall of TC.展开更多
