Analysis of Seasonal Variation Characteristics of Circulation in Pearl River Estuary by HUANG Chunhua, LIU Xiaojian, GUO Huiqun, HOU Peng, CHEN Wei

“…Estuarine circulation controls the regional dynamic pattern,which affects the salinity,suspended sediment,and nutrient salt transport in the estuary.Based on the ocean assimilation data HYCOM,this study analyzed the seasonal variation characteristics and evolution rules of the circulation in the Pearl River Estuary and constructed the annual circulation path in the Pearl River Estuary.The results show that:①The current in the Pearl River Estuary and its adjacent waters shows obvious seasonal variation,with a change period of about one year,and as the current gets closer to the open sea,the change period is more obvious;②the open sea of the Pearl River Estuary is controlled by the circulation all the year round,which shows southwest coastal current in winter and turns to northeast upwelling current in summer due to the influence of the South China Sea warm current,of which the former accounting for about 66.5% is more than the latter accounting for about 33.5%;③the current in the Pearl River Estuary is a southwest-northeast reciprocating flow in summer and a counterclockwise circulation in winter.…”

Research Progress and Prospect of Extreme Water Increase by Storm Surge in Estuaries — A Case Study of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by LIU Yuexuan, LI Huijing, LI Lanbin, LIU Xiaojian

“…Significant increases in water and extreme tide levels caused by typhoon storm surges are the primary threat to flood safety in estuarine areas,and are also the main cause of major natural disaster losses in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in recent years.This paper reveals the evolution patterns of water increase in storm surges over the years and introduces corresponding research methods.Meanwhile,it systematically reviews research achievements on the formation mechanism of extreme tide levels in storm surges from both foreign and domestic perspectives.Combined calculation models of extreme tide levels formed by astronomical tides and storm surges in China and abroad are also summarized,with a focus on achievements in dynamic mechanisms during extreme water increase in storm surges.Additionally,a two-dimensional nested mathematical model of storm surges in the South China Sea and the Pearl River Estuary is built,and the most unfavorable typhoon intensity and path are designed.The maximum water increase distribution in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is preliminarily simulated and obtained.Finally,it is urgent to put forward a set of safe,concise,and applicable formula for calculating the extreme tide levels of storm surges as soon as possible based on the understanding of the physical mechanism of the interaction between astronomical tides and storm surges.…”
