摘要:

2019年在南海北部开展了4个季节的现场调查, 获取了调查海域海水温度、盐度和营养盐等环境要素的实测数据。珠江口西侧近岸海域营养盐表现出明显的季节性和区域特征, 除秋季为潜在的氮限制外, 冬、春、夏季均表现为磷限制, 且春季最为显著, 主要受冲淡水输入和陆架水入侵影响。受西南季风强弱和调查海域海底地形差异的影响, 春、夏季珠江口外跨陆架断面(A断面)上升流强度大于海南岛以东跨陆架断面(B断面), 且夏季营养盐浓度等值线的爬升高度和范围大于春季。黑潮水入侵稀释了陆架坡折处以外海域的营养盐浓度, 冬季75~150m深水体的营养盐浓度相比夏季降低了25%以上; El Niño期间黑潮水入侵增强, 春、秋季A断面的东沙群岛附近海域75~150m深水体的营养盐浓度比相邻站位均低20%以上。春季冷涡中心无机氮(dissolved inorganic nitrogen, DIN)、磷酸盐(PO43--P)和硅酸盐(SiO32--Si)相较于边缘区域分别升高了6.42μmol·L-1、0.71μmol·L-1和10.03μmol·L-1, 夏季上升流和中尺度涡共同作用造成了A断面营养盐的凹型结构。综上所述, 南海北部海域营养盐浓度主要受冲淡水、上升流、黑潮入侵、中尺度涡旋等因素的独立或耦合作用, 呈现复杂多变的时空分布。

Abstract:

Temperature, salinity and nutrients were obtained from four seasonal in-field cruises during 2019 on the Northern South China Sea (NSCS). Due to the Pearl River plume and shelf seawater intrusion, nutrients distribution in the nearshore waters of the western Peal River Estuary (PRE) showed remarkable seasonal and regional variations, which was phosphorus limitation in three seasons, especially significant in spring, while showing potential nitrogen limitation in autumn. Influenced by the strength of southwest monsoon and seafloor topography variation, upwelling intensity of the cross-shelf section outside of the PRE (Section A) was greater than that of the cross-shelf section east of Hainan Island (section B) in spring and summer, and climbing height and range of the nutrient contours were greater in summer than that in spring. Nutrients was diluted by the intrusion of Kuroshio water on the slope area of NSCS, the nutrient concentration between 75 to 150 m in winter decreased more than 25% compared with that in summer, while the nutrient concentration near the Dongsha Island of the section A was less than the adjacent stations by above 20% in spring and autumn, since the reduced Kuroshio water intrusion during El Niño. The nutrients in the centre of the cold eddy increased 6.42μmol·L-1 DIN, 0.71μmol·L-1 PO43--P and 10.03μmol·L-1 SiO32--Si, respectively, compared with the adjacent stations outside of the eddy. The concave structure of nutrient distribution in section A was resulted from the co-effects of upwelling and mesoscale eddy in summer. It is summarized that the spatiotemporal variations of nutrient distribution in the NSCS were complicated, mainly effected by the independent or coupled factors including Pearl River plume, coastal upwelling, Kuroshio intrusion and mesoscale eddies.
