The data concerned were taken from the quantitative samples obtained by using large-sized standard zooplankton nets, while the values adopted such as hydrological and chemical data of the various stations were from the average values of the field data of each one-meter layer.展开更多

Then making use of the Q type multi-dimensions cluster analysis, we get the results that the water masses in the western Taiwan Strait include the follying: the coastal water along Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong Provinces, the diluted fresh water of Minjiang, Jiulong and Hanjiang Rivers; the mixing water in the Taiwan Strait; upwelling cold/warm water to the northwest of the Taiwan Shoal and the upwelling water to the east of Guangdong. The mixing weter in the Taiwan Strait during spring and summer is composed of a Kuroshio branch, the surface weter of the South China Sea, outal wier along Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong Provinces. While in autunm and winter, it is mixed up from Kuroshio branch, the shelf weter in the East China Sea, and the coastal water along Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong. There is an obvious seasonal change of growth and decline in these water masses.展开更多

One-year measurements of aerosol light absorption at multi-wavelength were continuously conducted in Xiamen,southeast of China in 2014 to determine the light absorption properties including absorption coefficients(σabs) and absorption ?ngstr?m exponent(AAE) in the coastal city.Light absorptions of BC and BrC with their contributions to total light absorption were further quantified. Mean σabsat 370 nm and 880 nm were 56.6 ± 34.3 and 16.5 ± 11.2 Mm-1,respectively. σabspresented a double-peaks diurnal pattern with the maximum in the morning and the minimum in the afternoon. σabswas low in warm seasons and high in cold seasons. AAE ranged from 0.26 to 2.58 with the annual mean of 1.46, implying that both fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning influenced aerosol optical properties. σabsof BrC at 370 nm was 24.0 ± 5.7 Mm-1, contributing 42% to the total absorption. The highest AAE(1.52 ± 0.02) and largest BrC contributions(47% ± 4%) in winter suggested the significant influence of biomass burning on aerosol light absorption. Long-distance air masses passing through North China Plain and the Yangtze River Delta led to high AAE and BrC contributions. High AAE value of 1.46 in July indicated that long-range transport of the air pollutants from intense biomass burning in Southeast Asia would affect aerosol light absorption in Southeast China. The study will improve the understanding of light absorption properties of aerosols and the optical impacts of BrC in China.展开更多
