摘要: 利用中国第三次北极科学考察在西北冰洋所进行的海水总碱度的测量,通过海水、海冰融化水以及河源淡水三个端元总碱度特征的显著差异计算西北冰洋夏季表层海水中淡水所占的比例。研究表明,西北冰洋海冰融化水所占比例最大区域在加拿大海盆区75°N附近,这是冰缘带位置,往北向高纬度的冰密集中逐渐增加。而河源淡水的组份则与北冰洋的环流密切相关,并且在西北冰洋水体中逐渐累积。

Abstract: As a quasi-conservative tracer, total alkalinity (TA) could trace freshwater and seawater. In this study, fractions of sea ice meltwater, river runoff, and seawater in the surface water of western Arctic Ocean are determined from salinity and total alkalinity relationships based on the Third Chinese Arctic Research Expedition during the summer of 2008. The largest fraction of sea ice meltwater was found around 75°N in the Canada Basin, the ice edge zone during survey, where ice concentrations increased northward gradually. The presence of river runoff was associated with the circulation, accumulated in the western Arctic Ocean.

Key words: western Arctic Ocean, total alkalinity, fresh water fractions, sea ice meltwater, river runoff
