The present study is concentrated on the empirical studies on the circulation in the Tampa Bay by analyzing velocity data at the Skyway Bridge Station in the Tampa Bay. Analyses focus on three factors responsible for the circulation: tides, winds and buoyancy gradients. The analysis of the current data obtained at the Skyway Bridge Station shows these three components of the circulation: the tidal currents are nearly uniform with depth; a vigorous and persistent buoyancy-driven mean now is directed into the bay at this location with speed of about 6 -- 8 cm/s; and synoptic scale wind fluctuations result in similarly large current fluctuations with winds blowing into the bay causing currents to flow out of the bay, and the versa. 展开更多

A three-dimensional,high resolution,Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model(FVCOM) is used to diagnose the influences of winds during the fall of 2001 on the salt balance of the Tampa Bay.To distinguish the wind effecting,two experiments are designed:one is driven by tides and rivers;the other is driven by tides,rivers and winds.First,the salinity change induced by wind is provided.Wind forcing can significantly increase the salinity inside the Tampa Bay,along with decreases of horizontal and vertical salt gradients.Subsequently,the salt balance principles are detailed addressed.The primary salt balance is between the total(horizontal plus vertical)advective salt flux divergence and vertical diffusive salt flux divergence except at the channel bottom where horizontal diffusive salt flux divergence comes into play.At last,the salt balance variation induced by winds is further addressed.Wind forcing does not change the relative importance of salt balance terms.The variations of the salt balance terms influenced by winds are highly dependent on the specific locations.Besides,the variations of the total advective salt flux divergence and the vertical diffusive salt flux divergence are nearly couterbalance,and both of two terms are much greater than that of the horizontal diffusive salt flux divergence. 展开更多

Using multitemporal Landsat TM/OLI images at a 10-year interval, in this study, we (1) extracted information of spatial location, length, and sinuosity of coastline and landscape configuration, diversity and fragmentation in the bay areas of Xiangshan Bay (XB), China and Tampa Bay (TB), USA from 1985 to 2015; (2) constructed indices of artificial coastlines and human disturbance on bay area landscapes; and (3) explored and discussed the impacts of human activities on changes of coastlines and landscape types in the two bay areas. Our analysis results demonstrate the following five points. (1) During the past 30 years, the lengths of natural coastline in XB and TB shrank, while the lengths of their artificial coastline increased first and then maintained stable. Since there were different influences of human activities on coastlines and landscape types between the two bay areas, XB experienced dramatic changes in parts of coastline geomorphologies and continuous decrease of coastline sinuosity, while, in TB, there was a little change in coastline geomorphologies and its coastline sinuosity was almost unchanged. (2) The intensity of human activities in XB was continuously enhanced from 1985 to 1995, and then the degree of enhancement had slowed down after 1995. However, in the time period, the impacted extent of human activities gradually increased and finally covered almost entire coastlines in XB. In TB area, although the intensity of human activities was enhanced, the degree of enhancement slowed down from 1985 to 2015 and the impacted areas of human activates were concentrated in several coastal city areas. (3) The average area of landscape patches strongly disturbed by human activities in both XB and TB generally showed a trend of decreasing from 1985 to 2005. However, during the period of 2005 to 2015, the average patch area of landscapes disturbed by different degrees of human activities in XB changed differently, while in TB it almost did not change. (4) From 1985 to 2005, the indices of landscape diversity in various areas of human disturbance in XB gradually increased, while in TB, changes in indices of the landscape diversity varied. From 2005 to 2015, the changes in the intensity of human disturbance in both bay areas were from weak to strong, whereas the indices of landscape diversity in XB and TB increased first and then decreased. (5) The landscape fragmentation index in different human disturbance areas in both XB and TB gradually increased from 1985 to 2005, while from 2005 to 2015, in both bay areas, the landscape fragmentation index presented a decreasing trend. 展开更多

Increased sedimentation rates have been attributed to increased anthropogenic activity in watersheds throughout Florida and many parts of the world. The Manatee River, located on the west coast of Florida (USA), like many other coastal watersheds, has experienced depletion in natural resources, increased nutrient loading, and increased pollution. LARs (linear accumulation rates) from watersheds throughout Florida suggest that anthropogenic activity increased bulk sedimentation by as much as 4-fold. The objective of this study was to construct a record of sedimentation and improve upon previous studies by determining individual sedimentary constituent MARs (mass accumulation rates) based on short lived radioisotopes (2~~pb and 234Th) to characterize changes in sedimentation attributed to increased anthropogenic development. This study constructed records of sedimentary accumulation rates to compare pre-development records to the past 100 years of anthropogenic development and identified specific changes in sedimentation attributed to anthropogenic activity. Anthropogenic development increased deposition of terrigenous material into the river from 2-fold to I 0-fold (0.3-2.0 g/cm2/yr) over three periods: (1) predevelopment period (1900-1941); (2) agricultural development period (1941-1970); (3) urban development period (1970-2010). The mobilization of this amount of terrigenous material has implications for effects on water quality and biological communities within the river. 展开更多
