Observing eddy dye patches induced by shear instabilities in the surf zone on a plane beach
The effects of surf zone eddy generated by alongshore currents on the deformation and transport of dye are still poorly understood, and related tracer release experiments are lacking. Therefore, a tracer relea...

Effect of particle composition and consolidation degree on the wave-induced liquefaction of soil beds
The wave-induced liquefaction of seabed is responsible for causing damage to marine structures. Particle composition and consolidation degree are the key factors affecting the pore water pressure response and ...

Impacts of species depletion on the food web structure of a marine ecosystem based on topological network analysis
Single-species management ignores the interactions between species, and ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) has become a main method to fisheries management. Understanding food web structures and speci...

Dietary nutrient status modulates nutrient regeneration in the marine ciliate Euplotes vannus
Marine ciliates play important roles not only in linking the microbial loop to the classic pelagic and benthic food chains but also in regenerating nutrients, yet how dietary nutrient imbalance impacts their n...

Influence of asymmetric tidal mixing on sediment dynamics in a partially mixed estuary
To investigate the influence of asymmetric tidal mixing (ATM) on sediment dynamics in tidal estuaries, we developed a vertically one-dimensional idealized analytical model, in which the M2 tidal flow, residual fl...

Phytoplanktonic biogeography in the subtropical coastal waters, East China Sea along intensive anthropogenic stresses: roles of environmental versus spatial factors
Understanding the relative roles of local environmental effects and spatial effects on phytoplankton community is of essential importance to study the biogeography of them at regional scale. However, the deter...

Sedimentary characteristics and genetic mechanism of the giant ancient pockmarks in the Qiongdongnan Basin, northern South China Sea
In the late Miocene, giant ancient pockmarks, which are fairly rare globally, developed in the Qiongdongnan Basin. In this paper, to determine the sedimentary characteristics and genetic mechanism of these gia...

Distribution of phytoplankton in the East China Sea and the southern Yellow Sea in spring in relation to environmental variables and dimethylsulfide compounds
The coastal ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate change and are usually influenced by variations in phytoplankton communities and water physiochemical factors. In the present study, the phytoplankton com...

Performance evaluation of fixed-station sampling design for a fishery-independent survey with multiple objectives
Fixed-station sampling design was widely used in fishery-independent surveys because of its characteristics of convenient sampling station setting, but the non-probabilistic (fixed) nature made it more uncerta...

Observations and modelling of the travel time delay and leading negative phase of the 16 September 2015 Illapel, Chile tsunami
The systematic discrepancies in both tsunami arrival time and leading negative phase (LNP) were identified for the recent transoceanic tsunami on 16 September 2015 in Illapel, Chile by examining the wave chara...

Develo** an intermediate-complexity projection model for China’s fisheries: A case study of small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) in the Haizhou Bay, China
Projection models are commonly used to evaluate the impacts of fishing. However, previously developed projection tools were not suitable for China’s fisheries as they are either overly complex and data-demandi...

Evolving a Bayesian network model with information flow for time series interpolation of multiple ocean variables
Based on Bayesian network (BN) and information flow (IF), a new machine learning-based model named IFBN is put forward to interpolate missing time series of multiple ocean variables. An improved BN structural ...

Homogenization and trend analysis of 1960–2015 in situ sea surface temperature observations along the coast of China
Sea surface temperature (SST) measurements from 26 coastal hydrological stations of China during 1960–2015 were homogenized and analyzed in this study. The homogenous surface air temperature (SAT) series from ...
