Abstract
An analysis of water exchange between the Bering (Pacific Ocean) and Chukchi (Arctic Ocean) seas in the summer was carried out using satellite data on sea level, geostrophic currents, and measurement data of water transport in the Bering Strait. It is shown that there is good agreement (r = 0.85, July–October 1997−2019) between the velocities of geostrophic currents (satellite data) and measurements of water transport (buoy station data) through the Bering Strait. It has been established that the temporal variability of water transport through the Bering Strait is determined by sea level variations in the southern part of the Chukchi Sea (66°–68° N, 170°–172° W). Strengthening of the eastern (western) winds is accompanied by a decrease (increase) in the sea level in the southern part of the Chukchi Sea and, as a result, an increase (decrease) in the flow of water through the Bering Strait. An increase (decrease) in the flow of the Yukon River is accompanied by a rise (decrease) in sea level and changes in water circulation in the northern Bering Sea and the southern Chukchi Sea.
期刊介绍:
Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics is a journal that publishes original scientific research and review articles on vital issues in the physics of the Earth’s atmosphere and hydrosphere and climate theory. The journal presents results of recent studies of physical processes in the atmosphere and ocean that control climate, weather, and their changes. These studies have possible practical applications. The journal also gives room to the discussion of results obtained in theoretical and experimental studies in various fields of oceanic and atmospheric physics, such as the dynamics of gas and water media, interaction of the atmosphere with the ocean and land surfaces, turbulence theory, heat balance and radiation processes, remote sensing and optics of both media, natural and man-induced climate changes, and the state of the atmosphere and ocean. The journal publishes papers on research techniques used in both media, current scientific information on domestic and foreign events in the physics of the atmosphere and ocean.
