海冰动力学数值模拟中改进的PIC方法

为了准确地模拟海冰的动力过程,需要建立精确有效的数值方法。本文结合质点网格法(PIC)和光滑质点流体动力学方法(SPH)发展了一种改进的PIC方法。该方法在欧拉坐标下对海冰动量方程进行差分计算,在拉格朗日坐标下进行海冰质点位移、厚度和密集度计算,并采用Gauss函数进行欧拉网格点与拉格朗日质点间海冰参数的交互插值。采用改进的PIC方法对规则区域内的海冰堆积过程进行了数值试验,对渤海海冰的动力过程进行了72小时数值模拟。计算结果均表明改进的PIC方法具有计算量小,计算结果平稳精确的优点,可很好地适用于海冰动力作用过程的数值模拟。     

Effects of timber skidding on chemical characteristics of herbaceous cover, forest floor and topsoil on skidroad in an oak (Quercus petrea L.) forest

This paper examines the effects of timber harvesting by skidding on some soil properties (sand, silt, clay, pH, organic carbon, bulk density and compaction), herbaceous cover (unit mass) and forest floor (unit weight) properties. Also N (%), P, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn (ppm) were determined in all herbaceous cover, forest floor and two soil depth (0–5 cm and 5–10 cm) on skidroad of an oak (Quercus petrea L.) stand in Istanbul Belgrad Forest – Turkey. In this study, obtained results are; the forest floor and the herbaceous cover amount on the skidroad have been found considerably lower than undisturbed area. There were some crucial changes in the characteristics of the soil which has been investigated down to 10 cm depth. Soil bulk density was found quite high in the samples taken from the skidroad subject to compaction compared to the ones on the undisturbed area. Nevertheless, no important difference had been detected between the skidroad and the undisturbed area at both soil depths in terms of organic carbon contents. Moreover, the soil acidity (pH) values showed noteworthy differences in the analysis of soil samples taken from both soil depths on the skidroad and on the undisturbed area. Fe and Cu contents of herbaceous samples on skidroad were significantly higher than undisturbed area. Forest floor on skidroad had significantly higher K content, and significantly lower Zn, Mn and N content compared to undisturbed area. P, Fe, Zn and Mn contents were found significantly lower in 0–5 cm soil depth on skidroad than undisturbed area. In 5–10 cm soil depth, concentrations of N, P, Fe, Zn and Mn were significantly lower, while Mg and Cu contents were significantly higher than undisturbed area. Results indicate that long-term harvest using skidding techniques on these sites had adversely affected soil cation concentrations, physical soil conditions and mass of herbaceous cover and forest floor.     

Water confined in two-dimensions: Fundamentals and applications

The behavior of water in close proximity to other materials under ambient conditions is of great significance due to its importance in a broad range of daily applications and scientific research. The structure and dynamics of water at an interface or in a nanopore are often significantly different from those of its bulk counterpart. Until recently, experimental access to these interfacial water structures was difficult to realize. The advent of two-dimensional materials, especially graphene, and the availability of various scanning probe microscopies were instrumental to visualize, characterize and provide fundamental knowledge of confined water. This review article summarizes the recent experimental and theoretical progress in a better understanding of water confined between layered Van der Waals materials. These results reveal that the structure and stability of the hydrogen bonded networks are determined by the elegant balance between water-surface and water-water interactions. The water-surface interactions often lead to structures that differ significantly from the conventional bilayer model of natural ice. Here, we review the current knowledge of water adsorption in different environments and intercalation within various confinements. In addition, we extend this review to cover the influence of interfacial water on the two-dimensional material cover and summarize the use of these systems in potential novel applications. Finally, we discuss emerged issues and identify some flaws in the present understanding.     

Temporal evolution of DMS and DMSP in Antarctic Coastal Sea water

The temporal evolution of concentrations of dimethylsulphide (DMS), its precursor dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) and chlorophyll a is surveyed weekly in the water column and in a landfast ice core at a coastal station of Gerlache Inlet (Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica) from 27 November 2000 to 14 February 2001. The DMS and DMSP profile concentrations in the water column are similar and show a clear temporal trend, with minimum values (<0.7?nM) at all depths occurring on 27 November 2000 and maximum values (4.8 × 10²?nM for DMS and 1.8 × 10²?nM for DMSP) in surface water on 27 December 2000 for DMS and on 19 December 2000 for DMSP. When the sea-ice cover is present, the temporal evolution of DMSP closely follows that of chlorophyll a in the water column, supporting the idea that DMSP, and therefore DMS, has a phytoplanktonic origin. However, when the ice cover breaks up during the late austral summer, a second phytoplankton bloom occurs, while the DMSP concentration in the sea-water column remains very low. In the ice core, the results show higher concentrations of DMSP than those of the underlying sea water, highlighting the important role of sea ice in the sulphur cycle of the Antarctic ecosystem.     

An identification method to estimate surface shortwave fluxes on temperature and thickness observations of sea ice in CHINARE 2006

In this paper, a parameter identification method to determine surface shortwave fluxes using temperature and thickness measurements of sea ice in CHINARE 2006 is presented. Adopting a new standard for the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of seawater named TEOS‐10, the surface shortwave fluxes are calculated by the temperature and thickness observations that were measured at Nella Fjord around Zhongshan Station, Antarctica. New simulations for temperature profiles in a different measurement period are performed by three parameterization schemes including the present method, Zillman and Shine. All numerical results are compared with in situ measurements. Results show that better simulations of the surface shortwave radiations and temperature distributions are possible with the identification method than Zillman and Shine. Therefore this method is valid, and the obtained shortwave radiation function can be applied in sea ice modeling. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
