Simulation and analysis of marine hydrodynamics based on the El Niño scenario by M. Ikhwan, R. Wafdan, Y. Haditiar, M. Ramli, Z. Muchlisin, S. Rizal

“…CONCLUSION: Strong winds could mix water masses up to a depth of 100 meters, implying that during an ideal El Niño, the stratification of the water column is influenced by strong winds. The eastern domain has the highest sea level amplitude, resulting in perfect mixing up to a depth of 100 m, while wind effect is negligible in the lower layers. …”

Seaweed (Porphyra) cultivation enhances production of autochthonous refractory dissolved organic matter in coastal ecosystems by Ting Wang, Ting Wang, Jiajun Xu, Jiajun Xu, Randy A. Dahlgren, Qiang Liu, Yang Jia, Yang Jia, Binbin Chen, Binbin Chen, Hanqin Xu, Hanqin Xu, Zengling Ma, Zengling Ma, Liyin Qu, Liyin Qu

“…To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted investigations examining the quantity and optical properties of DOM and POM, microbial community structures and relevant environmental factors along a continuum from a subtropical river through its adjacent coastal Porphyra cultivation zone during the cultivation and non-cultivation periods. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration was significantly elevated during the cultivation versus non-cultivation period, while particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration decreased, thereby resulting in a higher DOC/POC ratio in the water column. …”
