Maximum Development

Abstract The increase in freight traffic along the Northern Sea Route necessitates the study of the ice regime of the freezing seas of Russia, including the Far Eastern ones (Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan). This paper, on the basis of the analysis of the Sea of Okhotsk’s ice cover and the location of the edges of the Sea of Okhotsk’s ice massif, evaluates the probability of an encounter with ice for the ships in transit during cargo transportation on the Northern Sea Route through the Far Eastern seas along two basic routes from the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula: 1) traverse Cape Lopatka–Sea of Okhotsk–La Perouse Strait; 2) traverse Cape Lopatka–Sangarsky Strait. It was shown that at the stage of ice cover maximum development in the Sea of Okhotsk (February-March), route No. 2 was the most adequate and the safest for ships of ice class Arc4 and below. The section of route No. 1 with a 70 % ice encounter probability was 421 km long in February and 382 km long in March. That section of the route was dominated by very cohesive first-year thin ice up to 70 cm thick with inclusions of first-year ice of average thickness (up to 120 cm).

AbstractCharacteristic features of the growth of sea-ice extent in the Sea of Okhotsk are discussed statistically in relation to the surface wind and air temperature over the Okhotsk basin. It is shown that cold-air advection from the continent is not the only factor for the growth of ice extent: air-mass transformation with fetch (downwind distance from the coast) is another important factor. Using weekly growth rates of ice extent and objectively analyzed meteorological data, it is shown that the ice cover extends when cold northerly/northwesterly winds blow, whereas the ice cover retreats when warm northeasterly/easterly winds blow. It is concluded that the advance/retreat of the Sea of Okhotsk ice cover is largely determined by the atmospheric circulation, which is in turn controlled by the position and intensity of the Aleutian low. Occasional out-of-phase fluctuations between the Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea ice covers are found to occur when an intensified Aleutian low is located in the mid-western part of the Bering Sea and induces cold northwesterly winds to the Okhotsk basin and warm southeasterly winds to the Bering Sea, or when a weakened Aleutian low is displaced eastward and induces cold northeasterly winds to the Bering Sea and warm northeasterly winds to the Okhotsk basin.

The Impact

Comparison of monthly averaged sea-ice distributions in the Sea of Okhotsk with atmospheric pressure data during the four winters having passive-microwave sea-ice coverage from the Nimbus 5 satellite, 1973–76, revealed a strong apparent relationship between the extent of the sea-ice cover and the influence of the Siberian High atmospheric pressure system. Examination of data for the years 1978–86, having passive-microwave coverage from the Nimbus 7 satellite, reveals that the strong correspondence found for 1973–76 between Okhotsk sea-ice extents and the Siberian High was not maintained in the 1978–86 period. A weaker correspondence continued, however, between the sea ice and the combined Siberian High/Aleutian Low system. A Siberian High/Aleutian Low index was created, and the correlation coefficient between that index and sea-ice extents in the midwinter month of February is 0.97 for the 1973–76 period and 0.52 for the 1978–86 period. Primary reasons for the lack of a consistently strong monthly averaged ice/atmosphere correspondence are: the various oceanographic influences on the sea-ice cover, the failure of monthly averages to reflect fully the important shorter-term interactions between the ice and the atmosphere, and the fact that ice conditions in one month are influenced by ice conditions in previous months.
