Zhoushan The tidal current energy resources of China is most abundant in Zhejiang coastal area, amounting to about 5.17 million kilowatts ( 5.17GW), and accounting for more than half of the total nationwide potential tidal current energy resources, which is mainly concentrated in the estuary of Hangzhou Bay and Zhoushan Islands. The wave energy resources in China are most abundant in Guangdong coastal area, the next are Fujian, Zhejiang, Hainan and Shandong, accounting for 90% of the total. 2. Characteristics of ocean energy resources in Zhoushan Status of ocean energy resources in Zhoushan Tidal Range Energy：The average tidal range in Zhoushan sea area is about 2m only, island and harbor area is small and many harbors have been developed into ports, docks, there are few bays suitable for tidal energy development, therefore, the area is slenderly endowed with tidal energy resources as a whole. Tidal Current Energy： The waterways in Zhoushan sea area is crisscross, the flow velocity of tidal current is big, the maximum flow velocity in waterway of several areas is 2.0-3.0m/s, and over 4.0m/s at most in partial areas, so it is an area rich in tidal current energy resources, and with most advantageous tidal current energy resource conditions among Chinese coastal areas. Wave Energy： Zhoushan sea area close to the East China Sea is a large wave zone along the coast of China, the long-period wave can go into this area. The sea area inside of the islands is shielded by islands, the wave height is smaller; the wave height is big in the open sea area in the east of the islands, average annual wave power density is more than 2.5kW/m, so the wave resources are abundant. To sum up, full use of unique advantages of the area such as concentration of ocean energy resources, convenient transportation and prosperous marine equipment manufacture industry to exploit and utilization clean marine renewable energy will be one of the effective means to promote energy structure transformation and drive the development of emerging marine industry in Zhoushan Islands District. 3.

The main conclusions are as follows: First, the distribution of per capita income across YRD has changed from bi-modal to being positively skewed over the period 1990–2005; the income disparity has been reduced in the 8th Five-Year Plan, enlarged in the 9th Five-Year Plan and then reduced again somewhat in the 10th Five-Year Plan. Second, the main contribution to disparity comes from the intra disparity of the Jiangsu region; especially, the distribution density of Jiangsu is bi-modal over the period. Third, the rich cities and the poor cities developed independently and steadily at different speeds.

  • Waves and Tides the Preceding Sections Have Dealt with the Types Of
    CHAPTER XIV Waves and Tides .......................................................................................................... Introduction The preceding sections have dealt with the types of motion in the ocean that bring about transport of water massesin a definite direction during a considerable length of time. They have also dealt with the random motion, the turbulence, which is superimposed upon the general flow. Besidesthese types, one has also to consider the oscillating motion characteristic of waves. In general, this motion manifests itself to the observer more by the riseand fall of the sea surface than by the motion of the individual water particles. Waves have attracted attention since before the beginning of recorded history, and in recent years they have been the subject of extensive theoretical studies. Surveys of our knowledge as to the character of ocean waves have been presented by Cornish (1912, 1934), Krtimmel (1911), Patton and Mariner (1932) and by Defant (1929). Lamb (1932) has discussed the hydrodynamic theories of waves, and Thorade (1931) has given a comprehensive review of the theoretical studies of ocean waves and has compiled a long list of literature covering the period from 1687 to 1930. Our understanding of the waves of the ocean, how they are formed and how they travel, is as yet by no means complete. The reason is, in the first place, that actual observations at sea are so difficult that the characteristicsof the waves cannot easily be determined. In the second place, the theories that serve to bring the observed sequence of events in nature into intimate connection with experience gained by other methods of study are still incomplete, particularly because most theories are based on classicalhydrodynamics, which deal with wave motion in an idealized fluid.

  • Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta
    The Frontiers of Society, Science and Technology ISSN 2616-7433 Vol. 3, Issue 1: 23-35, DOI: 10.25236/FSST.2021.030106 Spatial Distribution Pattern of Minshuku in the Urban Agglomeration of Yangtze River Delta Yuxin Chen, Yuegang Chen Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China Abstract: The city cluster in Yangtze River Delta is the core area of China's modernization and economic development. The industry of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in this area is relatively developed, and the distribution and spatial pattern of Minshuku will also get much attention. Earlier literature tried more to explore the influence of individual characteristics of Minshuku (such as the design style of Minshuku, etc.) on Minshuku. However, the development of Minshuku has a cluster effect, and the distribution of domestic B&Bs is very unbalanced. Analyzing the differences in the distribution of Minshuku and their causes can help the development of the backward areas and maintain the advantages of the developed areas in the industry of Minshuku. This article finds that the distribution of Minshuku is clustered in certain areas by presenting the overall spatial distribution of Minshuku and cultural attractions in Yangtze River Delta and the respective distribution of 27 cities. For example, Minshuku in the central and eastern parts of Yangtze River Delta are more concentrated, so are the scenic spots in these areas. There are also several concentrated Minshuku areas in other parts of Yangtze River Delta, but the number is significantly less than that of the central and eastern regions. Keywords: Minshuku, Yangtze River Delta, Spatial distribution, Concentrated distribution 1.

However, there are gaps in the necessary data and poor access or dissemination of existing data in many countries around the world. This research identifies how remote sensing can contribute to filling these gaps so that environmental agencies, such as the United Nations Environmental Programme, European Environmental Agency, and International Union for Conservation of Nature, can better implement environmental directives in a cost-effective manner. Remote sensing (RS) techniques generally allow for uniform data collection, with common acquisition and reporting methods, across large areas. Furthermore, these datasets are sometimes open-source, mainly when governments finance satellite missions.
