利用三维环流模型、拉格朗日输运模型和统计数据，研究了沿主要航道释放的污染物在波罗的海芬兰湾海洋保护区(MPA)中由水流驱动的传播的可能性。不足为奇的是，击球次数几乎随着距离球道的距离呈线性下降。此外，船舶事故中释放的潜在污染物与洋流携带的污染物可能会在很长的距离内影响海洋保护区。通常，大约125公里长的航道段(覆盖大约400公里长的海湾的大约三分之一)可能成为每个兆帕的污染源。最大的兆帕(在芬兰东部海湾)可能会从大约210公里长的区段(覆盖整个海湾长度的大约1/2)受到污染。这些信息可能有助于海事管理。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The possibility of current-driven propagation of contaminants released along a major fairway polluting the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Gulf of Finland, the Baltic Sea, is examined using a 3D circulation model, a Lagrangian transport model and statistics. Not surprisingly, the number of hits to the MPA decreases almost linearly with its distance from the fairway. In addition, the potential pollution released during a ship accident with the pollutants carried by currents may affect MPAs at very large distances. Typically, a fairway section approximately 125 km long (covering about 1/3 of the approximate 400-km-long gulf) may serve as a source of pollution for each MPA. The largest MPA (in the Eastern Gulf of Finland) may receive pollution from an approximately 210-km-long section (covering about 1/2 of the entire length of the gulf). This information may be useful in assisting maritime management. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
