The spatial correlation models of ocean ambient noise usually assume that the surface noise sources are uncorrelated. This assumption can be used to explain some physical phenomena, but it is not consistent with the real situation. Considering the relation between the ocean wave motion and the ambient noise generated by wind, the spectrum of ocean wave is introduced to calculate the vertical correlation of ocean ambient noise as the correlation function of noise sources by using the Kuperman-Ingenito （K/I） noise model. The comparison of the simulations and the experimental data shows that the simulations of vertical correlation of ambient noise have some differences with the experimental data by assuming the noise sources are uncorrelated and the simulations of vertical correlation of ambient noise have a good agreement with the experimental data by using the correlation function of noise sources derived from the ocean wave spectrum under the situation of high wind speed.展开更多

A total of 49 taxa belonging to five phytoplankton groups were identified （H＇=1.7 to 3.5 bits＇cell^-1）. Dinoflagellates and Diatoms were the most abundant phytoplankton groups which reached 27 and 71% of total abundance, respectively. The spatial distribution of the phytoplankton abundance showed a significant variation between the stations （P 〈 0.001）. While the vertical distribution of total phytoplankton showed a clear pattem, ANOVA test showed only an insignificant variation between the different depths at each station （P 〉 0.01）. On the whole, the maximum abundance of phytoplankton was recorded at the depths of 2 and 6 m （6 ×10^3 ind..Ll）. This might be due to the decrease of the nutrient concentrations in deeper water specially those of phosphate.展开更多

The Tibetan Plateau causes the downward shortwave fluxes of the lower atmosphere over central China to be smaller than the fluxes over southern and northern China by generating more clouds. The existence of a larger quantity of clouds over central China reflects a greater amount of solar radiation back into space. The vertical gradients of upward shortwave radiative fluxes in the atmosphere below 8 km are greater than those above 8 km. The latitudinal-altitude distributions of downward longwave radiative fluxes show a slantwise decreasing trend from low latitudes to high latitudes that gradually weaken in the downward direction. The upward longwave radiative fluxes also weaken in the upward direction but with larger gradients. The maximum heating rates by solar radiation and cooling rates by longwave infrared radiation are located over 28 40°N at 7 8 km mean sea level (MSL), and they are larger than the rates in the northern and southern regions. The heating and cooling rates match well both vertically and geographically.展开更多

The noise sources are assumed to be statistically independent directional point sources distributed over the ocean surface, and the effects of ocean environment on ambient noise are studied. The normal-mode theory of surface-generated noise is developed, and the normal-mode formula of the directional density function suitable for small grazing angles is analytically continued for being suitable for great grazing angles and consistent with the ray formula. The unified formulae for calculating the intensities, spatial correlation and vertical directivity of ambient sea noise are presented.展开更多
