Abstract

Abstract:

As a part of the Natioanl Report of China, the main research results of Chinese scientists in Arctic physical oceanography during 2007-2010 is reviewed in this paper. This period is overlapped with the International Polar Year (IPY), which is a catalyst for nations to increase their Arctic activities and researches in polar research. And more, Arctic also experienced a rapid change in sea ice, ocean, and climate. China launched two Arctic cruises by the Chinese icebreaker, Xuelong, in 2008 and 2010, which provided more opportunities for Chinese scientists to understand the Arctic ocean and its change. During this period, Chinese scientists participated more than 10 other cruises with international collaboration. In this paper the main works introduced including the physical oceanography, the ocean and the sea ice optics, the kinematics of the sea ice and the Arctic impact on global climate change were reviewed.

Key words: Arctic Ocean, sea ice, physical oceanography, optics
