An experiment was performed to shoot airgun and receive the seismic signal with long-term seafloor seismic observatories (DONET seafloor and IODP borehole observatory) above the seismogenic zone in the Nankai Trough. The purpose of the experiment is to assess possibility to detect temporal change in seismic velocity structure which might change due to the stress accumulation in and around the subducting seismogenic plate interface, by repeated airgun survey, as well as to evaluate present stress state in the area through seismic anisotropy. The initial analysis of the experiment suggests that airgun shooting in accurate position especially in terms of the distance from the receiving observatory is necessary to treat the repeated shot record as the shooting in the same condition. P-wave first motion data from a circle shooting around the borehole observatory showed clear azimuthal dependency when correction was made for seafloor topography variation, which was consistent with known other indicators for seismic anisotropy and stress state.

A submersible digital holographic microscope (DHM) Holoflow@Sea was deployed during AWA fisheries surveys conducted in March 2013 and 2014 in the large upwelling ecosystem of the Canaries Current. The microscope collected about half a million of holograms of microorganisms and other particles suspended in the water column. Selected new results of reconstruction of phyto- and zooplankton species using improved algorithms with respect to previously published results are presented. Amplitude images are more detailed and, for some species, phase images provide useful additional information about morphology and composition. Extensive analysis confirms that the submersible DHM is suitable for in-situ imaging of organisms in the size range 2 μm-200 μm and species identification. When compared to standard procedures the microscope allows to rapidly monitor planktonic communities over a wide area. It contributes to a better understanding of the organization and functioning of the ecosystem and in particular the link between biogeochemistry cycles and small pelagic fish stock dynamics.

When signals exhibit non-Gaussian statistics, nonlinear signal processing techniques offer advantages over their linear counterparts. Nonlinearity in high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is an intrinsic phenomenon often overlooked in the radar literature. In this paper, we study the nonlinear dynamics, and the effect of detection, in SAR imagery. To this end, two complementary methods for exposing the nonlinear statistics are presented. The first method utilizes histogram fitting with relevant statistical models. The second method is based on hypothesis testing. Our results are demonstrated on real-world Radarsat-2 target chips. It is found that in the presence of extended targets (e.g., ships), the nonlinear effect in the SAR chip is predominant. Nonlinearity is observed to be negligible in the absence of extended targets. As the SAR chip is detected, the nonlinear dynamics are either diminished/altered (i.e., for power-detection) or obliterated (i.e., for magnitude-detection). To take full advantage of nonlinear statistics, it is recommended to utilize the complex-valued SAR image rather than the detected one. Furthermore, the Student's T location-scale distribution is seen to offer an excellent model for the SAR chip.

In order to estimate the thermal plumes discharged from Chinshan and Kuosheng nuclear power plants on the coast of north Taiwan, this study uses the thermal infrared data from Landsat 7 ETM+(Enhanced Thematic Mapper Surface Temperature) to contrast with the in-situ SST measurement for the intake/discharge ports of the nuclear power plants. The near-infrared (band 4) data of Landsat 7 ETM+ are firstly applied to distinguish ocean and land, and then the thermal infrared (band 6) data are used to estimate SST. The algorithm of SST on north Taiwan is established in this study by the contrast between the in-situ SST data of the two nuclear power plants and the thermal infrared data of Landsat 7 ETM+. The standard deviation of SST retrieved through this algorithm is estimated to be 3.1°C, but the mean difference is near 0. According to the retrieved SST from the satellite data, the warm-plume (>4°C than offshore SST) discharge of Chinshan nuclear power plant reaches 540-1080 m far from its discharge port, but for Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant, the farthest of the warm-plume discharge from the discharge port is 390-900 m. The retrieved SST gradually gets cooler by diffusion from the discharge port to the offshore. Apparently, the Landsat 7 ETM+ can be applied to measure the special variance of SST. The result also shows the area of significant thermal plume (>4°C than offshore SST) are about 0.01-1.3 km2 and 0.09-8.53 km2 for the Chinshan and Kuosheng nuclear plants respectively. Moreover, the significant thermal plume area is affected by tides. During the flood tide, the warm-plume discharge gets close to the coast, and it will make the significant thermal plume area increase. Besides, the second significant thermal plume (>2°C than offshore SST) is also increased during the ebb tide because the thermal plume may be taken away and diluted from the discharged port. However, due to different topographies, the area of thermal plume of the Kuosheng is broader than that of Chinshan nuclear power plant.

Ocean ambient noise data were collected by underwater MACHO (MArine Cable Hosted Observatory) system, deployed by Central Weather Bureau, at northeastern sea of Taiwan from October of 2011 to March of 2012. With most rainfall of Taiwan in the area of measurement, the rain-generated underwater noise was studied in an attempt to estimate rainfall contribution by the correlation analysis with the acoustic data. Due to the intermittent nature of rain fall occurrence, significant rainfall events with extended period were extracted from the weather data measured at nearest Su-ao weather station, and then patched together to form a rainfall intensity time series. Linear regression between corresponding ocean ambient noise level time series of several frequencies and rainfall intensity data were performed, so the characteristic frequency for prediction can be decided. Duration of this study was divided into Fall, Winter, and Spring, then the statistics and distributions of ambient noise level at different frequencies and rainfall intensities were calculated, so that seasonal variations were also discussed.

IMO(International Marine Organization) adopted the mandatory application of the EEDI(Energy Efficiency Design Index) for new ships in order to reduce the emissions of CO2(IMO, 2011). Added resistance, which is defined as an increased resistance of ships in waves, have a large effect on emissions of CO2. It is important that exact estimation of added resistance is essential for precise calculation of EEDI coefficient (MEPC 63rd session report). In the present study, CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation using overset grid method is performed on KCS(KRISO Container Ship) hull form to predict added resistance for precise EEDI coefficient. Simulation results is compared to experimental result(Simonsen et al, 2008 [18]).

As a unique structural system in the float-over installation, DSF supports topside weight in the load-out and tow process, and cushions collision loads of the topside and the barge in the mating process. Based on the float-over installation of LW3-1CEP topside, the paper makes deeply studies on DSF from many aspects, such as general layout, span change, DSU layout, special cap limit, space bound, member optimization, weight control and so on. And then this paper discusses a new type of DSF system with greater capability to support topside weight of up to 27,000 metric tons, meeting functional requirements of super-heavy topside float-over installation. The research of the new type of DSF will be a guide and reference for future heavier topside float-over installation.

This paper describes a development of a broad band underwater acoustic transducer for Doppler Velocity Log(DVL). The transducer uses thickness vibration mode of a disk type piezoelectric(PZT) ceramic. Three types of transducers, each having different configuration of acoustic impedance matching layer and backing are composed. Transmitting voltage response(TVR), receiving voltage sensitivity(RVS) and bandwidth of the transmission for the three types of acoustic transducers are evaluated. The test shows that the transducer with the configuration of three matching layers and a lossy backing results the best performance among the three types. From the test results, the effects of the acoustic impedance matching layer and backing are discussed.

From the test results, the effects of the acoustic impedance matching layer and backing are discussed.","PeriodicalId":114739,"journal":{"name":"OCEANS 2014 - TAIPEI","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123987847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
