Chemical characteristics, source apportionment, and regional transport of marine fine particles toward offshore islands near the coastline of northwestern Taiwan Strait

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the spatiotemporal variation, chemical composition, and source apportionment of marine fine particles (PM2.5) as well as their regional transport toward the Matsu Islands located near the coastline of northwestern Taiwan Strait. Four offshore island sites located at the Matsu Islands were selected to conduct both regular and intensive sampling of marine PM2.5. Water-soluble ionic species, metallic elements, and carbonaceous contents were then analyzed to characterize the chemical… Show more

“…The areas that are framed by blue lines are designed to be offshore wind farms. The Changyun Rise is between 119.5-120.1 • E and 23.9-24.6 • N, where the water depth shallower than 50 m. Schematic showing the Taiwan Strait circulation in (a) winter, (b) spring, (c) summer, and (d) autumn (water currents were taken from Jan et al, 2002).…”

“…Wind stress explains a majority of the transport reversals (Ko, 2003). As the wind directions have changed, the transportations and circulations of water masses in the Taiwan Strait have changed (Jan et al, 2002(Jan et al, , 2006(Jan et al, , 2010Chen, 2003Chen, , 2011Chen and Sheu, 2006;Wu et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2010). The wind fields over the strait are southwesterly dominated in summer and northeasterly dominated in winter.…”

“…However, the individuals of the autumn group had a high probability (>0.8) of hatching in the waters of southern and southwestern Taiwan (i.e., the Penghu Islands). The paralarvae were transported northward by the Kuroshio Current or the South China Warm Current into the Taiwan Strait during September and October (Tang et al, 2000;Jan et al, 2002Jan et al, , 2006. Although the results suggest that waters at a depth of 100 m near the coast of southern Taiwan are also potential hatching grounds, adult females are unlikely to have laid eggs at a depth of down to 100 m because the environment is unsuitable for planktonic paralarvae and Distribution of juvenile individuals appeared to be widespread around Taiwan, both horizontally and vertically.…”
