Research highlights
  • Significant interannual variability of physical and chemical parameters of seawater in the Pacific Subarctic and the Sea of Okhotsk was shown for the first time. It was found that the main interannual variations in seawater parameters were related to changes in water transport at the borders of large-scale circulations, determined by the winter wind stress vortex, and 18-year tidal cycles. The tendency for temperature increase and dissolved oxygen concentration decrease in the intermediate water layer was shown.
  • The concept of anthropogenic pH was introduced into the practice of Oceanographic research and a method for its calculation was proposed (Andreev et al., 2001). Quantitative characteristics of changes in carbonate parameters in the North Pacific, caused by an increase in carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, were obtained.
  • Relation between the interannual variability of physical and chemical parameters of seawater in the Sea of Japan and water transfer from the East China Sea through the Korea Strait was identified. It was shown that an increase in anthropogenic stress on waters of the Yangtze river (East China Sea) and an increase in water inflow from the East China Sea led to increase in water temperature, decrease in the concentration of dissolved oxygen and pH (acidification), and the enrichment of the waters of the Sea of Japan with inorganic nitrogen, compared to inorganic phosphorus.
  • Analysis of long-term satellite data allowed to detail the scheme of surface currents in the Tatar Strait (the Northern part of the Sea of Japan). It was shown that significant intra-and inter-annual variations in surface water circulation can be explained by sea level variability between the Korea Strait and the La Perouse and Tsugaru Straits. Anticyclonic / cyclonic water circulation in the southern part of the Tatar Strait is observed during periods of increasing / decreasing of level differences and increasing/decreasing of heated water inflow into the Sea of Japan. The mass presence of fish and shellfish of subtropical origin in the Tatar Strait in autumn of 2011 and 2015 was associated with an inflow of subtropical waters into the Northern part of the Sea of Japan.
  • Seasonal and interannual variability of water exchange between the Bering Sea and the Pacific through the Kamchatka and other Straits was studied and the reasons for this variability were identified.
  • The influence of the Alaska jet stream on water exchange between the Pacific and the Sea of Okhotsk through the Straits of the Kuril Chain was studied. It was found that the strengthening of the Alaska jet stream into the Pacific strengthens the meridional water flows of Krusenstern and Fourth Kuril Straits, connecting the Sea of Okhotsk with the Pacific, and is accompanied by an increase in temperature and decrease in the ice cover of the Sea of Okhotsk in the spring period, which influences the biomass of large phytoplankton and Pollock population.
  • Mesoscale water circulation in the area of the East Sakhalin current (the Western part of the Sea of Okhotsk) was studied. It was found that the anticyclonal/cyclonic wind vortex over the Sea of Okhotsk and, respectively, the winds of the Southern/Northern directions in the Western part of the Sea of Okhotsk lead to the formation of a mesoscale cyclonic/anticyclonal water circulation in July/August / October / December. It was shown that the origin of waters in mesoscale cyclones (with relatively high salinity and low temperature) was associated with coastal upwelling and tidal mixing. Waters in anticyclones (with relatively low salinity) are formed in the North-Western part of the Sea of Okhotsk under the influence of the Amur river. In October-December, under the influence of the winter monsoon, the inflow of water with reduced salinity towards the Eastern coast of Sakhalin island increases, which contributes to the formation of mesoscale anticyclones. It was shown that the high primary production and concentration of chlorophyll a, observed in summer in the area of the shelf and coastal slope of the North-Eastern part of Sakhalin, were confined to the centers of mesoscale cyclones.
  • Water dynamics in the area of Navarinsky canyon (Bering Sea) for the period from 1993 to 2016 was studied. It was found that the intensity of anticyclonal vortices in the study area in spring and summer was determined by the wind regime in March-April. An increase in the southern and decrease of the western wind friction stress in the Central part of the Bering Sea leads to the inflow of shelf waters with low temperature and reduced salinity into the deep sea and formation of mesoscale anticyclonal vortices along the continental slope. The strengthening of the North-West flow of the Bering Sea slope current leads to an increase in temperature of the sub-bottom layer of the outer shelf and a decrease in the ice cover of the Bering sea. Increase of winds of the Eastern directions in spring and North-West outer shelf waters transfer are accompanied by an increase in catch/abundance of Pollock in the West Bering Sea zone in summer and early autumn.
