Aim Understanding the mechanisms underlying the structure and connectivity of ecological communities is a central issue in biogeography. Dispersal syndromes are tightly woven into organisms' life history seen across populations and communities, but measuring dispersal is still complicated in practice. We investigated the role of dispersal syndromes (here, associated with body size, adult flying ability and voltinism) to predict phylogenetic distance decay relationships (DDRs) of aquatic insect assemblages in dendritic stream networks. Location Du River Basin, China. Taxon Aquatic insects (Coleoptera, Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Megaloptera, Odonata, Plecoptera and Trichoptera). Methods We applied multiple methods (i.e. deconstruction approach, null models, Mantel tests and partial Mantel tests) to enhance our basic understanding of phylogenetic distance decay patterns. To provide additional insights into correlates of phylogenetic dissimilarity between stream sites, we modelled potential dispersal routes based on overland, watercourse and cost distances. Results Overland distances were among the main correlates of phylogenetic distance decay in the stream networks studied, suggesting that aquatic insects disperse overland seeking for habitats suitable for survival and reproduction. However, local environmental filtering was generally more important for phylogenetic DDRs than geographical distances alone. The interaction between environmental vs. dispersal processes in driving spatial patterns of phylogenetic dissimilarity was contingent on different dispersal syndromes. More specifically, significant phylogenetic DDRs were detected only for subsets of large‐bodied, univoltine taxa with strong adult flying abilities, such as dragonflies. Main Conclusions Overall, historical constraints affect the phylogenetic DDRs in aquatic insects. Dispersal syndromes associated with body size, adult flying ability and voltinism are key features underlying distance decay in phylogenetic assemblage similarity and the evolutionary legacies of aquatic insects in dendritic stream networks.

Experimental Study on the Stability and Wave Force of a Breakwater Transition under Multiangle Oblique Waves - Guangsheng Wang; Longzai Ge; Tong Yu; Yajing Zhang; Songgui Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Based on the failure and instability of different structural transitions of offshore breakwater, this paper provides a basis for understanding the instability mechanism and also provides suggestions for engineering repair. Based on the breakwater project in the regulation of the bay of Shandong Province, physical model tests with a scale of 1:36 were carried out. This study revealed the wave characteristics, the force performance, and the instability mechanism in the transition. In the test, the relationships between 5°, 15°, 35°, and 75° oblique waves, the wave force, and the stable weight of the Accropode were simulated, revealing that the generation of a shock wave current is related to the wave direction angle, which results in the local wave height increasing by 2.05 times. The result that the design weight of the armour block is unstable and stable after optimization is obtained. The wave force of the caisson of the transition was concentrated in the anti-arc section of the superstructure, and the maximum horizontal force, buoyancy force, and impact pressure were 935.6 kN, 419.1 kN, and 65.9 kPa, respectively. The instability mechanism was determined as the poor connection between the accropode and the caisson, and the wave energy concentration. Compared with the calculation results of the standard formula, the correction coefficients of the overtopping volume, the wave crest elevation, the wave force, and the Accropode weight at the transition of breakwater were 1.95, 1.97, 1.60, and 4.0, respectively. The test results have solved the practical problems of the project and can also provide a reference for similar projects.

Assessment of future flood risk induced by sea level rise and tropical cyclones under global warming in the Xiamen Bay, Fujian, China - Wenyun Guo; Ding Yao; Zhi Chen; Pingxing Ding; Jianzhong Ge (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Tropical cyclone (TC)-induced coastal flooding can lead to severe hazards in low-lying lands and is expected to be exacerbated by sea level rise and TC climatology changes related to the warming climate. Since the dense population in Xiamen Bay, Fujian, China, it is highly valuable in understanding coastal flooding of it, but little studies involved this topic. In this study, we establish a high-resolution numerical model covering all coastal low-lying land in Xiamen Bay based on FVCOM. This model is then used to assess the flood risk in Xiamen Bay under TCs with 10-, 100-, and 1000-year pressures by applying a multi-tracks blend method. The results show that 126 km 2 of low-lying area can be flooded periodically by astronomical tides; and 388, 504, and 598 km 2 of low-lying area can be flooded under TCs with 10-, 100-, and 1000-year pressures, accompanied by increased average flood depths of 2.3, 2.8, and 3.4 m, respectively. By 2100 under SSP5-8.5, the well-protected Xiamen Island becomes impacted by TCs with 10-year pressure, and flood areas under TCs with 100-year pressure are estimated to be nearly equivalent to that under TCs with 1000-year pressure at the current climate. The most increased exposure area by climate change are artificial surfaces and agricultural areas, showing the potential higher flood disasters in future.

Trait-based approach revealed the seasonal variation of mesozooplankton functional groups in the South Yellow Sea - Zhishuang Zhang; Hongju Chen; Yixuan Li; Ruping Ge; Guangxing Liu; Shaukat Ali; Yunyun Zhuang (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2023)
Functional traits determine the fitness of organisms and mirror their ecological functions. Although trait-based approaches provide ecological insights, it is underexploited for marine zooplankton, particularly with respect to seasonal variation. Here, based on four major functional traits, including body length, feeding type, trophic group, and reproduction mode, we quantified the seasonal variations of mesozooplankton functional groups in the South Yellow Sea (SYS) in the spring, summer, and autumn of 2018. Strong seasonal dynamics were identified for all traits but patterns varied among traits. Small zooplankton (47.7–88.6%), omnivores–herbivores (81.3–97.6%), and free spawners (54.8–92.5%) dominated in three seasons, while ambush feeders and current feeders dominated in spring (45.7%), and autumn (73.4%), respectively. Cluster analysis of the functional traits showed that the mesozooplankton in the SYS can be classified into eight functional groups. The biogeographic and seasonal variations of functional groups can be partially explained by environmental drivers. Group 1, represented by omnivores–herbivores, was the most dominant functional group, the abundance of which peaked in spring and was positively correlated with chlorophyll a concentration, indicating its close association with phytoplankton dynamics. The contribution of giant, active ambush carnivores, passive ambush carnivore jellyfish, current omnivores–detritivores, and parthenogenetic cladocerans increased with sea surface temperature. The proportion of giant, active ambush carnivores and active ambush omnivore–carnivore copepods decreased with salinity in autumn. This study presents a new perspective for understanding the dynamics of zooplankton and paves the way for further research on the functional diversity of zooplankton in the SYS.

Improving the genome and proteome annotations of the marine model diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana using a proteogenomics strategy - Xiao-Huang Chen; Ming-Kun Yang; Yuan-Yuan Li; Zhang-Xian Xie; Shu-Feng Zhang; Mats Töpel; Shady A. Amin; Lin Lin; Feng Ge; Da-Zhi Wang (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2023)
Diatoms are unicellular eukaryotic phytoplankton that account for approximately 20% of global carbon fixation and 40% of marine primary productivity; thus, they are essential for global carbon biogeochemical cycling and climate. The availability of ten diatom genome sequences has facilitated evolutionary, biological and ecological research over the past decade; however, a complimentary map of the diatom proteome with direct measurements of proteins and peptides is still lacking. Here, we present a proteome map of the model marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana using high-resolution mass spectrometry combined with a proteogenomic strategy. In-depth proteomic profiling of three different growth phases and three nutrient-deficient samples identified 9526 proteins, accounting for ~ 81% of the predicted protein-coding genes. Proteogenomic analysis identified 1235 novel genes, 975 revised genes, 104 splice variants and 234 single amino acid variants. Furthermore, our quantitative proteomic analysis experimentally demonstrated that a considerable number of novel genes were differentially translated under different nutrient conditions. These findings substantially improve the genome annotation of T. pseudonana and provide insights into new biological functions of diatoms. This relatively comprehensive diatom proteome catalog will complement available diatom genome and transcriptome data to advance biological and ecological research of marine diatoms.

ESPC-BCS-Net: A network-based CS method for underwater image compression and reconstruction - Zhenyue Li; Ge Chen; Fangjie Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is a typical energy-limited and bandwidth-limited system where the technical bottleneck is the asymmetry between the massive demand for information access and the limited communication bandwidth. Therefore, storing and transmitting high-quality underwater images is a challenging task. The data measured by cameras need to be effectively compressed before transmission to reduce storage and reconstruc-ted with minor errors, which is the best solution. Compressed sensing (CS) theory breaks through the Nyquist sampling theorem and has been widely used to reconstruct sparse signals accurately. For adaptive sampling underwater images and improving the reconstruction performance, we propose the ESPC-BCS-Net by combining the advantages of CS and Deep Learning. The ESPC-BCS-Net consists of three parts: Sampling-Net, ESPC-Net, and BCS-Net. The parameters (e.g. sampling matrix, sparse transforms, shrinkage thresholds, etc.) in ESPC-BCS-Net are learned end-to-end rather than hand-crafted. The Sampling-Net achieves adaptive sampling by replacing the sampling matrix with a convolutional layer. The ESPC-Net implements image upsampling, while the BCS-Net is used to image reconstruction. The efficient sub-pixel layer of ESPC-Net effectively avoids blocking artifacts. The visual and quantitative evaluation of the experimental results shows that the underwater image reconstruction still performs well when the CS ratio is 0.1 and the PSNR of the reconstructed underwater images is above 29.

Anti-inflammatory effects of extracellular vesicles from Morchella on LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells via the ROS-mediated p38 MAPK signaling pathway - Qi Chen; Chengchuan Che; Shanshan Yang; Pingping Ding; Meiru Si; Ge Yang (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2023)
Morchella is a kind of important edible and medicinal fungi, which is rich in polysaccharides, enzymes, fatty acids, amino acids and other active components. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have a typical membrane structure, and the vesicles contain some specific lipids, miRNAs and proteins, and their can deliver the contents to different cells to change their functions. The present study investigated whether Morchella produce extracellular vesicles and its anti-inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW246.7 macrophages. The experimental results showed that Morchella produced extracellular vesicles and significantly reduced the production of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a model of LPS-induced inflammation. In addition, the expression of inflammatory factor-related genes such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) showed dose-dependent inhibition. Morchella extracellular vesicles also can inhibit the inflammatory response induced by LPS by inhibiting the production of ROS and reducing the phosphorylation levels of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Oceans at a depth ranging from ~100 to ~1000-m (defined as the intermediate water here), though poorly understood compared to the sea surface, is a critical layer of the Earth system where many important oceanographic processes take place. Advances in ocean observation and computer technology have allowed ocean science to enter the era of big data (to be precise, big data for the surface layer, small data for the bottom layer, and the intermediate layer sits in between) and greatly promoted our understanding of near-surface ocean phenomena. During the past few decades, however, the intermediate ocean is also undergoing profound changes because of global warming, the research and prediction of which are of intensive concern. Due to the lack of three-dimensional ocean theories and field observations, how to remotely sense the intermediate ocean from space becomes a very attractive but challenging scientific issue. With the rapid development of the next generation of information technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has built a new bridge from data science to marine science (called Deep Blue AI, DBAI), which acts as a powerful weapon to extend the paradigm of modern oceanography in the era of the metaverse. This review first introduces the basic prior knowledge of water movement in the ~100 m ocean and vertical stratification within the ~1000-m depths as well as the data resources provided by satellite remote sensing, field observation, and model reanalysis for DBAI. Then, three universal DBAI methodologies, namely, associative statistical, physically informed, and mathematically driven neural networks, are elucidated in the context of intermediate ocean remote sensing. Finally, the unique advantages and potentials of DBAI in data mining and knowledge discovery are demonstrated in a top-down way of “surface-to-interior” via several typical examples in physical and biological oceanography.

The effect of normal and abnormal eddies on the mixed layer depth in the global ocean - Ji Hao; Jie Yang; Ge Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Mesoscale eddies are broadly distributed over the global ocean and play a significant role in modulating the spatiotemporal evolution of mixed layer depth (MLD). The presence of abnormal eddies in the ocean has been shown; however, the precise quantification of the effect of eddies on MLD, given the case of abnormal eddies, has not been carried out thus far. Differently from the previous approach to identify abnormal eddies through sea surface temperature, we therefore, proposed a method to identify abnormal eddies, using potential density based on Argo data (Array for Real-time Geostrophic Oceanography) for 15 years from 2003 to 2017. Results showed that abnormal anticyclonic eddies (AAE) and abnormal cyclonic eddies (ACE) accounted for 21.67% and 20.17% of total matching anticyclonic eddies (TAE) and the total matching cyclonic eddies (TCE), respectively, in the global ocean. The proportions of abnormal eddies were relatively higher in tropical regions but lower in regions with the boundary current and strong eddy kinetic energy. The MLD changes caused by normal and abnormal eddies were estimated combining satellite altimetry data. The normal eddies were the total matching eddies with the removal of the abnormal eddies, separately called normal anticyclonic eddies (NAE) and normal cyclonic eddies (NCE). The overall influence of NAE (NCE) was more significant on MLD deepening (uplifting) than that of TAE (TCE). Globally, NAE (NCE) changed MLD deepening (uplifting) from ~66 m (~54 m) to ~67 m (~53 m) and exhibited a more pronounced change in the Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean region, from ~111 m (~94 m) to ~115 m (~92 m) in the winter. AAE (ACE), exerted a relatively weak but opposite effect on MLD deepening (uplifting). In other words, the global average MLD caused by them shoaled (deepened) from ~66 m (~54 m) to ~59 m (~59 m), and the North Pacific Ocean shoaled (deepened) from ~61 m (~47 m) to ~49 m (~57 m) in winter. Given the above results, abnormal eddies should be accounted for when the impact of ocean eddies is evaluated on the global climate system.

Numerical Study on Lateral Response of Offshore Monopile in Sand under Local Scouring Conditions - Jiayi Shen; Chang Ge; Yide Zhan; Zhaoyi Ye; Qiang Zhang; Jiawang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Currently, p-y models have been broadly adopted for estimating the lateral bearing capacity of large-diameter monopiles in offshore engineering. However, the existing p-y curves cannot reflect the effect of pile diameter D on the lateral response of monopiles under local scouring conditions. In order to extend the existing p-y model to a large-diameter pile, a well-calibrated three-dimensional pile-soil model performed by ABAQUS is used to study the effect of the pile diameter D on the ultimate soil resistance P and the initial stiffness k of the Lin’s p-y model. Based on the numerical simulation results, two diameter-related parameters A and B, which represent the relationships between the ultimate soil resistance and the initial stiffness obtained by the numerical model and the Lin’s p-y model, respectively, are proposed and introduced into the Lin’s p-y model to present a modified p-y model. The comparison results show that the proposed modified p-y model is capable of providing a better estimation of the lateral response of large-diameter monopiles than the existing p-y model under a scouring condition.

Evaluation of housekeeping genes as references for quantitative real‐time PCR analysis of European eel, Anguilla anguilla - Ying‐Ying Li; Xi Chen; Jin‐Xian Yang; Qiang Chen; Tie‐Ying Song; Jun‐Qing Ge (Journal of Fish Biology, 2023)
Eels are important aquaculture species for which an increasing number of reference genes are being identified and applied. In this study, five housekeeping genes [RPL7 (ribosomal protein L7), 18 S (18 S ribosomal RNA), EF1A (elongation factor 1α), ACTB (β‐actin) and GAPDH (glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase)] were chosen to evaluate their reliability as reference genes for quantitative real‐time PCR (qPCR) for the study of Anguilla anguilla . The expression of the selected genes in different eel tissues was determined using qPCR at different growth stages or upon challenge by Anguillid herpesvirus (AngHV), and the expression levels of these genes were then compared and evaluated using the geNorm and NormFinder algorithms. Then, RefFinder was used to comprehensively rank the examined housekeeping genes. Interestingly, the expression of the evaluated housekeeping genes exhibited tissue‐dependent and treatment‐dependent variations. In different growth periods A. anguilla tissues, the most stable genes were the following: ACTB in mucus; 18 S in skin and kidney; RPL7 in muscle, gill, intestine and brain; EF1A in heart and liver; and GAPDH in spleen. In contrast, in AngHV‐challenged A. anguilla tissues, the most stable genes were the following: 18 S in mucus; RPL7 in skin, gill, heart, spleen, kidney and intestine; EF1A in muscle and liver; and ACTB in brain. Further comparison analysis indicated that the expression of RPL7 and EF1A was stable in multiple A. anguilla tissues in different growth periods and in eels challenged by AngHV. Nonetheless, the expression level of GAPDH in eel tissues was lower, and it was unstable in several tissues. These results indicated that the selection of reference genes for qPCR analysis in A. anguilla should be made in accordance with experimental parameters, and both RPL7 and EF1A could be used as reference genes for qPCR study of A. anguilla at different growth stages or upon challenge by AngHV. The reference genes identified in this study could improve the accuracy of qPCR data and facilitate further studies aimed at understanding the biology of eels.

Darwin's naturalization conundrum reconciled by changes of species interactions - Jiang Wang; Shao‐Peng Li; Yuan Ge; Xiao‐Yan Wang; Song Gao; Tong Chen; Fei‐Hai Yu (Ecology, 2023)
Although phylogenetic distance between native and exotic species has a close link with their interactions, it is still unclear how environmental stresses and species interactions influence the relationship between phylogenetic distance and biological invasions. Here we assessed the effect of invader–native phylogenetic distance on the growth of the invader ( Symphyotrichum subulatum ) under three levels of drought (no, moderate, or intense drought). Under no drought, interspecific competition between close relatives was the dominant process and native communities more closely related to the invader showed higher resistance to invasion, supporting Darwin's naturalization hypothesis. In contrast, under intense drought, facilitation between close relatives by mutualism with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) became more important, and the invader became more successful in their more closely related native communities, supporting the preadaptation hypothesis. The colonization rate of AMF of the invader was higher in more closely related native communities regardless of the drought treatment, but it was only positively related to invader biomass under intense drought. Therefore, the shift of species interactions from competition to facilitation may be ascribed to the promotion of AMF to invasion occurring under intense drought, which leads to the effect of closely related natives on the invader shifting from negative to positive. Our results provide a new angle to resolve Darwin's naturalization conundrum from the change of species interactions along a stress gradient, and provide important clues for invasion management when species interactions change in response to global climatic change.

An offshore subsurface thermal structure inversion method by coupling ensemble learning and tide model for the South Yellow Sea - Fangjie Yu; Fengzhi Sun; Jianchao Li; Ge Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The South Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (SYSCWM), which occurs in the South Yellow Sea (SYS) during summer, significantly impacts the hydrological characteristics and marine ecosystems but lacks fine interior data. With satellite observations, significant achievements have been made in reconstructing high-resolution ocean subsurface thermohaline structure based on machine learning. However, the accuracy of offshore subsurface parameter estimation will be affected due to the macro-tidal environment and fewer in situ observations. In this paper, we coupled the TPXO tide model and Light Gradient Boosting Machine algorithm to develop an inversion model of offshore subsurface thermal structure for the SYS using sea surface data and in situ observations. After light modelling, the subsurface temperature structure in the SYS is retrieved from sea surface parameters with a spatial resolution of 0.25° at depths of 0-55 m. Observation-based dataset (ARMOR3D) and in situ observations are used for model evaluation. According to the validation of the mooring buoy observations, the overall coefficient of determination (R 2 ), which determines the percentage of variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variable, is more than 0.95. Furthermore, the R 2 is improved by 12% due to coupling tide model below the thermocline during the maturity stage of SYSCWM, which is helpful for a better reconstruction of SYSCWM. Comparing with the cruise data, the average R 2 of the proposed model is 0.927 which is slightly better than the accuracy of the observation-based ARMOR3D dataset. Since the R 2 exceeds 0.8 in the most area of 121°E~123.5°E, 33°N~36°N, the reconstruction is reliable in this area. The method provides a new explorable direction for reconstructing the ocean thermal structure in offshore areas.

Submesoscale oceanic eddy detection in SAR images using context and edge association network - Linghui Xia; Ge Chen; Xiaoyan Chen; Linyao Ge; Baoxiang Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Oceanic eddies have a non-negligible impact on ocean energy transfer, nutrient distribution, and biological migration in global oceans. The fine detection of oceanic eddies is significant for the development of marine science. Remarkable achievements of eddy recognition were achieved by mining the satellite altimeter data and its derived data. However, due to the limited spatial resolution of the altimeters, it is difficult to detect the submesoscale oceanic eddies with radial dimensions less than 10 km. Different from the previous works, the context and edge association network (CEA-Net) is proposed to identify submesoscale oceanic eddies with high spatial resolution Sentinel-1 data. The edge information fusion module (EIFM) is designed to associate the context and edge feature more accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, a multi-scale eddy detection strategy is proposed and applied to Sentinel-1 interferometric wide swath data to solve the scale problem of oceanic eddy detection. Specifically, a manually interpreted dataset, SAR-Eddy 2019, was constructed to address the dilemma of insufficient datasets for submesoscale oceanic eddy detection. The experimental results demonstrate that CEA-Net can outperform other mainstream models with the highest mAP reaching 85.47% with SAR-Eddy 2019 dataset. The CEA-Net proposed in this research provides important significance for the study of submesoscale oceanic eddies.

Metabarcoding reveals the differential sensitivity of planktonic microbiome to environmental filtering and biointeraction in Sansha Yongle blue hole - Tianying Chen; Yunyun Zhuang; Chang Chen; Xuewei Mao; Ruping Ge; Hongju Chen; Jianwei Chen; Liang Fu; Zuosheng Yang; Guangxing Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Sansha Yongle blue hole (SYBH) is the world’s deepest blue hole known so far and its unique hydrochemical characteristics make it a valuable site for studying biodiversity and ecological processes. Here, we used metabarcoding approach to investigate the diversity, assembly mechanism and co-occurrence pattern of planktonic microbiome in SYBH. Our results revealed the distinct separation of communities from upper oxic, middle oxic and suboxic-anoxic layer and significant day-night difference was detected in the upper-layer community of microeukaryotes, indicating potential diel migration. Stochastic processes played a significant role in the community assembly of microeukaryotes, while deterministic processes dominated in prokaryotes, confirming the stronger environmental filtering on prokaryotes as also suggested by the correlation with environmental variables. Microeukaryotes were less sensitive to environments but significantly affected by cross-domain biointeraction. When comparing the subcommunities of different abundance, we found that abundant taxa were widespread while rare taxa were habitat-specific. In co-occurrence network, over 87% of the interactions and 19 out of 20 keystone OTUs (Operational Taxonomic Units) were affiliated to moderate or rare taxa, suggesting the importance of non-abundant taxa in maintaining community stability. The predominant positive edges in the network pointed to that interspecies cooperation may be one of the ecological strategies in SYBH. Overall, we highlight the divergent assembly pattern and different driving forces in shaping plankton microbiome in SYBH, which may advance current understanding on diversity and dynamics of marine life in blue hole ecosystems.

Development of a pressure-retaining separation and transfer system for sediment and overlying seawater - Jin Guo; Qixiao Zhou; Yongqiang Ge; Haonan Li; Qiaoling Gao; Ying Wang; Yuan Lin; Jiawang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Methane leakage at the interface between sediment and overlying seawater is an important basis for gas hydrate exploration. Therefore, a transfer device with working pressure of 30MPa and corresponding scheme are proposed to separate and transfer the sediment and overlying water inside the sampler under the condition of pressure-retaining. Based on the pressure relief valve with adjustable threshold pressure, the device transfers the overlying water by compressing the internal volume and transfers the sediment by secondary sampling. The performance of transfer device is studied by simulation and experiment. Based on the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach in the Abaqus, the secondary sampling was investigated, and the penetration resistance and coring rate of the secondary sampling tube are 141N and 86.2%, respectively. By using the hydraulic simulation software AMESim, the pressure fluctuation caused by the movement of the mechanism during the transfer process was studied, and the pressure fluctuation amplitude is within 0.89 MPa. Furthermore, the laboratory transfer tests were carried out under high pressure conditions, and meantime, the simulation results are verified. Under the working condition of 30MPa, the device can maintain a pressure loss of no more than 8.0% (2.4MPa) within two hours, maintain pressure fluctuations during the transfer process within 4.8% (1.44MPa), and ensure that the pressure in the culture kettle decreases by 4.7% relative to the pressure in the sampler after the transfer, which shows the feasibility of the device application.

Effect of chronic ammonia nitrogen stress on the SOD activity and interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 expression in the clam Cyclina sinensis - Hongxing Ge; Qian Ni; Jialing Liu; Zhiguo Dong; Shibo Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Ammonia nitrogen plays a crucial part in oxidative stress in aquatic animals. To elucidate the effect of ammonia nitrogen stress on the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 ( IFITM1 ) expression in the clam Cyclina sinensis , clams were exposed to ammonia nitrogen (8.07 mg/L) for 768 h (32 days) and then challenged with Vibrio parahaemolyticus . The results showed that the SOD activity in the hepatopancreas of C. sinensis exposed to ammonia nitrogen first increased and then decreased with time, returning to the control group’s normal level at 768 h. Following infection with V. parahaemolyticus , the SOD activity in the hepatopancreas fluctuated over time. The SOD activity in clams infected with V. parahaemolyticus at 144 h did not return to the control group’s normal level. The full-length cDNA of CsIFITM1 was 2,434 bases in length, including a 2,301-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 714 amino acids, with a putative molecular weight of 83.86 kDa. CsIFITM1 contains an RNA helicase domain (DEXHc_RLR, DR) and a Helicase_C (HC) domain. The transcriptional levels of CsIFITM1 were upregulated by exposure to ammonia nitrogen and were significantly higher from 6 to 768 h compared to the control (0 h) ( p < 0.05). Following infection with V. parahaemolyticus , the transcript levels of CsIFITM1 in the hepatopancreas were upregulated and were significantly higher from 6 to 144 h, in contrast to those of the control (0 h) ( p < 0.05). The present data provide the first evidence of the SOD activity and CsIFITM1 transcript levels being able to reflect the effect of ammonia on the clam C. sinensis .

Overlapping-calibration of wide-swath altimeter baseline errors using two satellites formation flying design - Chunyong Ma; Xuan Wang; Zhanwen Gao; Zheng Li; Chaofang Zhao; Ge Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The sea surface height (SSH) measured by future wide-swath altimetry satellites contains observation error due to baseline measurement, which is called SSH_Error_Baseline. It is a huge challenge for satellite engineering to maintain such high accuracies of the baseline roll and length in orbit to ensure that the SSH_Error_Baseline can be maintained below 1 cm. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the SSH_Error_Baseline is extremely important. In order to solve the existing problem, an innovative overlapping-calibration method is proposed based on two-satellite formation flight design with overlapping swath. In this study, the differences of SSH data observed by these two satellites in the overlapping area is so small that it can be ignored, and the SSH_Error_Baseline dominates the difference. Then, the baseline parameters of the two satellites can be well estimated by adopting an optimal inverse method. A total of 9 groups of observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) have been carried out, and they respectively indicate different pessimistic theoretical scenarios of baseline measurement systems. According to the results, this design can effectively reduce the SSH_Error_Baseline in most scenarios. Regarding the advantage of this method, it can be applied to all along-track observation data without requiring the application of additional auxiliary data (i.e. model data, SSH derived from nadir altimetry). Therefore, when two wide-swath altimetry satellites are simultaneously designed, the formation flight scheme proposed in this paper is recommended, especially when the measurements of the baseline cannot meet the expected accuracies.

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the submerged tunnel covering layer at the junction of an artificial island and tunnel under extremely bad conditions, the wave current characteristics and the stability of the protective structure in the variable slope section were studied. By conducting model tests, the coupling effect of wave and current is revealed in this study. The hydrodynamic field, including the varying angles between waves and currents, is simulated in the model test. The ratio (Hs′/Hs) of the wave height and the ratio (U′/U) of the velocity with and without the existence of a current, the relative velocity (U/C), the wave steepness (Hs/L), the relative water depth (d/L) and the angle (α) between wave and current are obtained, and the corresponding calculation expression is derived, by checking the test results, the empirical formula can better predict the changes of wave height and water flow after wave current coupling. The stable weight of the surface protection rock is obtained through an optimization test. Based on the relationship between the stable weight of the protection rock and the wave height under the wave–current coupling effect, a modified expression for calculating the stable weight of the armor block is derived. The modified calculation method can support estimating the stable weight of the armor rocks of an overburden structure of a similar immersed tunnel under the wave–current coupling effect. This study can not only solve the practical problems of major projects of the Shenzhen–Zhongshan channel but also provide valuable basic data and technical support for the construction of overburden of subsea-immersed tube tunnels in the future.

Combination of bicarbonate and low temperature stress induces the biosynthesis of both arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids in alkaliphilic microalgae Dunaliella salina HTBS - Zhile Guo; Yuyong Hou; Zhiyong Liu; Yanbo Ma; Tong Han; Nahui Hao; Yuanjiang Yao; Chunxuan Lan; Tongling Ge; Maliheh Safavi; Weijie Wang; Lei Zhao; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
High bicarbonate levels and low temperature may have an impact on microalgae cultivation. However, changes in cellular composition in response to the combination of the above stresses are still poorly understood. In this study, the combined effects of bicarbonate and low temperature on biochemical changes in alkaliphilic microalgae Dunaliella salina HTBS were investigated. Comparing to the control condition of 25°C without bicarbonate, the cell density was increased from 0.69 to 1.18 in the treatment condition of 0.15 M bicarbonate and low temperature (16 °C) while the lipid\protein\carbohydrate contents were increased from 34.71% to 43.94%, 22.44% to 26.03%, 22.62% to 29.18%, respectively. Meanwhile, the PUFAs, arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contents reached to 3.52% and 4.73% with the combination of low temperature and bicarbonate, respectively, whereas they were not detected when the cells were treated with single condition. Moreover, both the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were also detected with increased profiles in the combined treatments. As a result, the maximum photochemical efficiency but not reduced non-photochemical quenching was strengthened, which enhanced the photosynthetic performance. Additionally, our results indicated that D. salina HTBS could acclimate to the combined stress by up-regulating the activity of SOD\CAT and reducing MDA content. These findings demonstrated that the addition of a certain bicarbonate under low temperature could effectively enhance the biomass production and accumulation of AA and DHA, which would benefit the development of the microalgae industry in value-added products.

Transport Patterns and Potential Sources of Atmospheric Pollution during the XXIV Olympic Winter Games Period - Yuting Zhang; Xiaole Pan; Yu Tian; Hang Liu; Xueshun Chen; Baozhu Ge; Zhe Wang; Xiao Tang; Shandong Lei; Weijie Yao; Yuanzhe Ren; Yongli Tian; et al. (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
The attainment of suitable ambient air quality standards is a matter of great concern for successfully hosting the XXIV Olympic Winter Games (OWG). Transport patterns and potential sources of pollutants in Zhangjiakou (ZJK) were investigated using pollutant monitoring datasets and a dispersion model. The PM 2.5 concentration during February in ZJK has increased slightly (28%) from 2018 to 2021, mostly owing to the shift of main potential source regions of west-central Inner Mongolia and Mongolian areas (2015–18) to the North China Plain and northern Shanxi Province (NCPS) after 2018. Using CO as an indicator, the relative contributions of the different regions to the receptor site (ZJK) were evaluated based on the source-receptor-relationship method (SRR) and an emission inventory. We found that the relative contribution of pollutants from NCPS increased from 33% to 68% during 2019–21. Central Inner Mongolia (CIM) also has an important impact on ZJK under unfavorable weather conditions. This study demonstrated that the effect of pollution control measures in the NCPS and CIM should be strengthened to ensure that the air quality meets the standard during the XXIV OWG.

Reduction of uncertainties in surface heat flux over the Tibetan Plateau from ERA‐Interim to ERA5 - Yufei Xin; Jingbao Liu; Xiangwen Liu; Ge Liu; Xinhong Cheng; Yueli Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Serving as the successor to the ERA‐Interim dataset, a new global reanalysis (i.e., ERA5) has been released by the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts. However, evaluation of the performance of ERA5 in relation to the Tibetan Plateau (TP) remains lacking. Using in situ eddy covariance observations from eight stations located on the TP, this study evaluated the uncertainties of both ERA5 and ERA‐Interim. Results showed that ERA5 effectively corrects the overestimation of both sensible heat flux (H) and latent heat flux (LE) over the TP, which is severe in ERA‐Interim. In most seasons, the bias errors (BEs) of H and LE are generally smaller in ERA5 than in ERA‐Interim, although the BEs of wintertime H and LE in spring and autumn are not decreased significantly from ERA‐Interim to ERA5. The spatiotemporal relationships with the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) and the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) reanalysis data were investigated. Analysis of correlation coefficients and root mean squared errors revealed large inconsistency in H between ERA5/ERA‐Interim and GLDAS, but good agreement in LE between ERA5/ERA‐Interim and GLEAM. Overall, the level of agreement of ERA5 with GLEAM was better than that of ERA‐Interim. Anomaly correlation coefficients (ACCs) between the two ERA datasets (ERA5 and ERA‐Interim) and the two reference datasets (GLDAS and GLEAM) were also investigated. The ACC results further confirmed that ERA5 has better agreement than ERA‐Interim with GLEAM in terms of LE over the TP.

A novel technique for seabed strata deformation in situ monitoring - Yongqiang Ge; Jiawang Chen; Peihao Zhang; Chen Cao; Xiaoling Le; Jingkun Ai; Peng Zhou; Tao Liang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Seafloor strata deformation monitoring is important for gas hydrate exploitation and the monitoring and early warning of seabed instabilities. Due to the limitation of in situ monitoring technology, existing observations are carried out with geophysical methods to provide basic geomorphological characteristics and stratigraphic structures. However, it is of equal importance to study the in situ evolution mechanism of the process of strata deformation, which relies heavily on long-term in situ observations. An in situ monitoring instrument for seabed strata deformation monitoring is presented. Sufficient theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies were carried out to conduct a mechanical analysis on the entire deployment process of the instrument. The maximum penetration resistance and reaming pressure were calculated during the deployment process, and the stability and feasibility of the deployment method were verified. To validate the maximum penetration resistance obtained and the monitoring performance of the instrument, field tests were conducted on a tidal flat in Changzhi Island. The penetration resistance of the instrument and the strata deformation of the tidal flat were measured and obtained. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the presented instrument.

Stable carbon isotopes of dissolved inorganic carbon in the Western North Pacific Ocean: Proxy for water mixing and dynamics - Tiantian Ge; Chunle Luo; Peng Ren; Hongmei Zhang; Di Fan; Hongtao Chen; Zhaohui Chen; Jing Zhang; Xuchen Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The uptake of atmospheric CO 2 and the cycle of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the ocean are the major mechanisms and pathways controlling global climate change and carbon cycling. The stable carbon isotope (δ 13 C) of DIC, therefore, provides an important tracer for processes such as air-sea exchange, photosynthesis, and water dynamics in the ocean. Here, we present new δ 13 C-DIC data on water samples collected from a north-south transect (13°N–40°N, 150°E) in the western North Pacific (NP) Ocean in November 2019 and compare the results with those previously reported for similar transects (149.3°E) during WOCE and CLIVAR projects over the past three decades. The values of δ 13 C-DIC, ranging from -0.83‰ to 0.86‰, were higher in the surface waters and decreased with depth. The high δ 13 C-DIC values in the surface waters were influenced primarily by isotopic fractionation during air-sea exchange and photosynthesis. With depth, the movement of different water masses and mixing, as well as bathypelagic respiration in the dark water of the ocean, all play important roles in influencing the distribution and isotopic signatures of δ 13 C-DIC in the western NP Ocean. The δ 13 C-DIC values of the 0–200 m water layer varied from -0.17‰ to 0.86‰, with lower values at high latitudes, affected by the low δ 13 C-DIC values carried by the Oyashio Current to the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region. A downward trend was present in the δ 13 C-DIC signature from north to south in the North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) and Pacific Deep Water (PDW) in the western NP, which reflected the remineralization of organic matter with a horizontal transport of NPIW and PDW. We found a strong 13 C Suess Effect in the upper 2,000 m in the western NP Ocean, and δ 13 C-DIC at the surface (<50 m) has decreased by 0.60‰-0.85‰ since 1993. The mean δ 13 C-DIC change in the surface ocean was estimated at 0.28‰ per decade between 1993 and 2019. The air-sea exchange and water mixing in the study area may have accelerated the absorption of anthropogenic CO 2 in recent years, which likely caused a slightly faster rate of decrease in the δ 13 C-DIC from 2005–2019 than that observed from 1993–2005.

The Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Heat Flow in Seabed Sediments Based on COMSOL - Peng Zhou; Chunyue Zhang; Jingkun Ai; Yongqiang Ge; Xiaoqing Peng; Qiaoling Gao; Wei Wang; Zhonghui Zhou; Jiawang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In situ electrothermal conduction heating technology refers to the setting up of a heat source directly within the sediments, using the heat conductivity of the sediments and the heat radiation of the heat source for heat transfer to achieve the in situ heating of the sediments. The in situ electrothermal conduction heating of sediments has the disadvantage of the heating equipment being easily damaged and difficult to operate, and requires the equipment to be able to withstand seawater pressure and marine corrosion. In this paper, based on the combination of numerical simulations (using COMSOL Multiphysics software) and approximate in situ electrothermal conduction heating experiments, the temperature field and other factors of sediments heated by in situ conductive heating (in a specific area) were studied to determine a numerical model for sediment heat flow in a specific area under different pressures and initial temperatures, and the correctness of the numerical model was further verified by comparative experiments. The results of this study have important implications for future studies on the actual thermal properties of sediments and even heat transfer mechanisms during gas hydrate extraction.

Spatiotemporal variability and climate teleconnections of global ocean wave power - Chuanchuan Cao; Ge Chen; Chengcheng Qian; Jie Shang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Climate change impacts have driven a transformation of the global energy system. The utilization of renewable energies is required to meet energy demands while protecting the environment. Wind-generated waves, carrying energy from the atmosphere, are a possible energy supply. However, global and long-term variability in wave resources due to the effects of climate change remain uncertain. This study quantified the spatiotemporal patterns and availability of global wave power (GWP) based on the ERA5 hourly and monthly reanalysis products, spanning from 1979 to 2020. The most promising wave resources appeared centralized in the westerlies of both hemispheres, and the wave power exhibited a “rich-get-richer” trend in the Southern Ocean, dominating the overall distribution and variability of GWP. Significant seasonal and interannual oscillation trends in GWP were observed, but with little variations on daily and hourly time scales. We found the average GWP in ERA5 products increased by 12.89% suddenly in 1991, mainly caused by the beginning of altimeter assimilation. This also implies the potential underestimation of wave fields in the modeling results before the advent of altimeter. In the altimeter era, annual GWP exhibits (quasi-) decadal oscillation (variation near ±4%), which differed from the monotonous increases previously reported. An analysis and source tracing based on the climate teleconnections indexes revealed that the primary climate driver of the variability was the Southern Annual Mode ( r = 0.84). This study provides scientific guidance for wave power utilization and helps deepen our understanding of air-sea interactions.

Numerical Simulation Study of the Horizontal Submerged Jet Based on the Wray–Agarwal Turbulence Model - Bo Hu; Chuan Wang; Hui Wang; Qian Yu; Jinhua Liu; Yong Zhu; Jie Ge; Xinxin Chen; Yang Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The horizontal submerged jet (HSJ), as a special form of jet, is widely used in aerospace, food and drug, water engineering, and other industries. In order to further understand the mechanism of the HSJ, the Wray–Agarwal turbulence model was used to predict the HSJ with different incidence heights H/D and Reynolds number (Re) conditions in this paper. The results show that the jet horizontal height H/D has a large influence on the flow field structure. The unsteady flow within the flow field is dominated by vortexes. In addition, their distribution is relatively independent of H/D. Under different H/D conditions, the axial velocity distribution of the jet has very high similarity, all of them have an obvious velocity inflection point at x = 10D. When H/D is small, the wall attachment effect of the jet and the boundary layer effect generated at the bottom of the fluid domain have a certain role in maintaining the velocity of the jet near the wall, resulting in a significantly higher axial velocity than other H/D conditions, up to 1.29 times. In this paper, we thoroughly investigated the structure of the internal flow field and velocity distribution of the submerged horizontal jet. The results have a guiding significance for engineering practice and academic research.

A new parallel algorithm for improving the computational efficiency of multi-GNSS precise orbit determination - Xinghan Chen; Maorong Ge; Urs Hugentobler; Harald Schuh (GPS Solutions, 2022)
The computational efficiency is critical with the increasing number of GNSS satellites and ground stations since many unknown parameters must be estimated. Although only active parameters are kept in the normal equation in sequential least square estimation, the computational cost for parameter elimination is still a heavy burden. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the procedure of parameter elimination to enhance the computational efficiency of GNSS network solutions. An efficient parallel algorithm is developed for accelerating parameter estimation based on modern multi-core processors. In the parallel algorithm, a multi-thread guided scheduling scheme, and cache memory traffic optimizations are implemented in parallelized sub-blocks for normal-equation-level operations. Compared with the traditional serial scheme, the computational time of parameter estimations can be reduced by a factor of three due to the new parallel algorithm using a six-core processor. Our results also confirm that the architecture of computers entirely limits the performance of the parallel algorithm. All the parallel optimizations are also investigated in detail according to the characteristics of CPU architecture. This gives a good reference to architecture-oriented parallel programming in the future development of GNSS software. The performance of the multi-thread parallel algorithm is expected to improve further with the upgrade of new multi-core coprocessors.s

Dissolved Organic Carbon Along a Meridional Transect in the Western North Pacific Ocean: Distribution, Variation and Controlling Processes - Tiantian Ge; Chunle Luo; Peng Ren; Hongmei Zhang; Hongtao Chen; Zhaohui Chen; Jing Zhang; Xuchen Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the ocean is one of the largest reduced and exchangeable organic carbon pools on Earth and plays important roles in carbon cycling and biogeochemical processes in the ocean. Here, we report the concentrations and distributions of DOC in water samples collected along a meridional transect in the western North Pacific (NP) Ocean in November 2019. Concentrations of DOC ranged from 33-102 μM, were higher in surface water, decreased rapidly with depth to 1,000 m, and then remained relatively constant. The labile fraction of DOC accounted for 20-40% of the surface bulk DOC and was respired very rapidly in the upper 200 m depth. The semi-labile fraction of DOC accounted for 15-20% of the surface bulk DOC and was exported downward and turned over at water depths of 200-2,000 m. The formation of NP Intermediate Water (NPIW) in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region is a major process carrying some surface semi-labile DOC down. The Low concentrations of DOC (33-44 μM) were present in the entire water column below 1,000 m along the transect in the NP. Primary production and microbial consumption played major roles in the concentration and distribution of DOC in the euphotic zone, and hydrodynamic mixing and circulation of different water masses appear to be dominant factors controlling the distribution and dynamics of DOC in the deep water of the western NP.

Conditions of Mainland China’s Island Ecosystems and Associated Influencing Factors: Integrated Assessment of 42 Typical Island Ecosystems - Zhiyuan Ma; Weiwei Yu; Wanting Zhang; Feiyang Ge; Bin Chen; Wenjia Hu; Dian Zhang; Jianji Liao; Hao Huang; Yuanmin Sun; Haiping Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Although China possesses a large number of islands, knowledge of their overall ecological condition is limited on a national scale. Accordingly, this study developed a comprehensive and quantitative island ecosystem assessment framework that incorporates environmental quality, biological structure, and landscape patterns. The framework was applied to 42 typical, representative islands within China’s coastal regions, including different climatic zones, area sizes, populations, and substratum lithologies. Results showed that the value range of the comprehensive index of island ecosystem condition ( CI island ) was significant (from 52.33 to 89.53, 71.72 average), and 85.4% of islands scored either “high” or “good,” indicative of their exceptional condition. However, conditions varied among different island components, indicating different challenges. Environmental quality index ( I env ) values ranged from 60.70 to 94.80 (79.72 average), where primary threats were seawater nutrient pollution, petroleum, and marine organism metal contamination. Biological structure index ( I bio ) values ranged from 43.50 to 89.40 (66.10 average), where primary threats were vegetation destruction and a reduction in marine biodiversity within intertidal and subtidal zones. Landscape pattern index ( I land ) values varied significantly (from 6 to 100, 72.36 average), where a key characteristic of highly developed islands was low natural landscape (vegetation) coverage. Conditions also varied among island climate zones, lithologies, area sizes, and levels of human habitation. Additionally, island ecosystem conditions were influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors as well as area size, population, and GDP. Although distance to the mainland significantly correlated to ( I bio ), and ( CI island ), these parameters did not significantly correlate to ( I env ), which might be explained by that environmental quality was generally conditional on large-scale environments. This assessment is intended to provide a holistic perspective on island conditions in China while identifying key challenges and associated driving factors, which will greatly aid in establishing island-specific sustainable management practices.

Diel Vertical Distribution of Mesozooplankton Functional Groups in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre: A Case Study - Ruping Ge; Yixuan Li; Hongju Chen; Facan Lei; Yunyun Zhuang; Guangxing Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Understanding the diel vertical migration (DVM) patterns of zooplankton has important implications for biological pumping and pelagic food webs. The functional traits of zooplankton generally determine their distribution in the environment. However, knowledge about the DVM patterns of zooplankton with different functional traits is limited. Here, we used a trait-based approach to study the vertical distributions of zooplankton in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG). Four functional traits, namely, body length, feeding type, trophic group, and reproductive mode, were selected in this study. A high biodiversity of zooplankton (165 taxa) was recorded in the NPSG. Zooplankton was mainly concentrated above 100 m and exhibited normal DVM. Zooplankton with small and medium body sizes (<2 mm, 69% ± 16%), current feeding (43% ± 14%), and omnivore–herbivores (54% ± 14%) were dominant in the NPSG. The proportion of sac spawners in total abundance (52% ± 14%) was higher than that of broadcast spawners (48% ± 14%), which differed from that in the coastal regions. Sixteen functional groups of zooplankton were identified. Different functional groups exhibited distinct DVM patterns due to the influence of different factors. The DVM patterns of current-feeding omnivore–herbivores were significantly correlated with chlorophyll a , whereas giant ambush-feeding carnivores exhibited normal DVM patterns and were substantially correlated with the vertical distribution of their food organisms. However, the small omnivore–carnivores showed reverse DVM patterns. Overall, this study provided a new perspective for studies on zooplankton DVM from the aspect of functional traits.

The spatial and seasonal dependency of daily precipitation extremes on the temperature in China from 1957 to 2017 - Wenhui Chen; Huijuan Cui; Quansheng Ge (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation in China increase generally with global warming. It is well‐accepted that higher temperature increases water vapour in the atmosphere, leading to more extreme precipitation events. Assuming relative humidity stay constant, the Clausius–Clapeyron (C–C) relationship indicates that global precipitation extremes increase with temperature at a rate of approximately 7%/°C. This study investigated the dependency of daily precipitation extremes on the temperature using daily data of 525 stations in China during 1957–2017. Results showed that the peak structure and sub C–C scaling (0%/°C–5%/°C) were dominant in China, while the scaling rates exhibited a ‘sub C–C, C–C like or super C–C, negative C–C’ trend from southeast to northwest over China. The upper quartile of precipitation (P75) were more sensitive to temperature change than higher intensities. Unlike the scaling patterns in the whole year, the negative relationships were found dominant in most areas in summer, indicating that as summer's lowest temperature reaches the peak of the year, the negative scaling of extreme precipitation at higher temperatures were reinforced.

Influences of the 1855 AD Huanghe (Yellow River) Relocation on Sedimentary Organic Carbon Burial in the Southern Yellow Sea - Jianying Liu; Da-Wei Li; Yang Ding; Tiantian Ge; Weifang Chen; Chih-An Huh; Meixun Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Huanghe (Yellow River) supplies large amount of sediments and terrestrial organic carbon (OC) to the eastern Chinese marginal seas. A relocation of the Huanghe outlet from the southern Yellow Sea (YS) to the Bohai Sea occurred in 1855 AD, however, detailed knowledge about the impact of this relocation on sedimentary source and OC burial in Chinese marginal seas is still critically lacking. In this study, we present total OC content and its isotope (δ 13 C), along with bulk total organic carbon (TOC)/total nitrogen (TN) molar ratio and lipid biomarker contents, in a sediment core HH12 from the southern YS with sediment age spanning the last 300 years. We find that TOC and terrestrial lipid biomarker mass accumulation rates were lower between 1855 AD and 1950 AD than that prior to 1855 AD in core HH12; and in accordance, both TOC/TN ratio and δ 13 C records indicate a gradual decrease of terrigenous source contributions to sedimentary OC. This suggests that the relocation of the Huanghe outlet reduced the transport of terrestrial OC to the southern YS. However, the δ 13 C record also indicates a relative increase of terrestrial OC contribution to sedimentary OC after 1950 AD, and the most likely explanation is increased contributions from the old Huanghe delta erosion and Korean rivers. Future studies should focus on better constraining the variations of terrestrial and marine endmembers with δ 13 C and Δ 14 C analyses of specific biomarkers to examine these linkages.

Flow Characteristics of Oblique Submerged Impinging Jet at Various Impinging Heights - Di Zhang; Hongliang Wang; Jinhua Liu; Chuan Wang; Jie Ge; Yong Zhu; Xinxin Chen; Bo Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To study the influence of impinging height H/D on the flow field characteristics of oblique submerged impinging jets, the numerical calculation of an oblique submerged impinging jet was carried out based on Wray–Agarwal (W–A) turbulence model. The jet flow field structure and pressure distribution under various impinging heights (1 ≤ H/D ≤ 8) when the impinging angle was θ = 45° were analyzed. The results show that with the increase in the impinging height, the diffusion degree of the jet gradually increased and the velocity decreased when the jet reached the impingement region, and the distance between the stagnation point (SP) and the geometric center (GC) gradually increased, the flow angle φ along the jet centerline remained constant in the free-jet region and rapidly decreased in the impingement region. The impingement plate pressure distribution at various heights was similar, and the impinging pressure concentration on the upstream side of the maximum pressure point was higher.
