摘要

In the upper layer of the Arctic Ocean fresh water transported with the polar branch of the global hydrological cycle accumulates at its surface with sea ice and its outflow to the North Atlantic is formed. Between these two processes in the Arctic Ocean, repeated phase "water-ice" transformations occur. They constitute the internal Arctic hydrological cycle changing the dynamic and thermodynamic properties of the upper layer, and the time of residence of freshwater and thus influence the formation of its outflow. The fresh water flows to the Arctic and its outflow from the Arctic Ocean comprise an active part of a full excess of fresh water in it resulting in the preservation of sea ice. The total content of the fresh water "excess" in the Arctic Ocean estimated relative to the salinity of 34.80 PSU is non-uniformly distributed over its area changing from year-to-year. The climatic FWC maximum is located in the Canadian Basin and is formed by the fresh water flows with precipitation, river runoff and Bering water. The active FWC portion is centered in the upper 50 m layer within the winter convective mixing depth in the Arctic Ocean. The interannual changes of the mean FWC over the area reach here 1.3 m of the equivalent layer of freshwater. A similar value of FWC changes was obtained from water salinity changes in the region of sources of the East Greenland Current north of Greenland. The interannual FWC changes are characterized by increased values up to the mid-1970s and decreased FWC after 1975. The differences between them are most noticeable at the periphery of the Arctic Ocean. The main cause of the significant interannual FWC changes is connected with the summer flows of fresh water to the Arctic Ocean. According to different estimates, they are within 6000 to 10000 km~3, which exceeds by several times the net annual inflow. The changes in the conditions of summer melting lead to a disturbed balance in the "freezing-melting" cycle and as a result to freshening or salination of the upper layer of the Arctic Ocean. The summer fresh water flows are formed due to snow melting (whose depth before melting is 36 cm, on average, for the Arctic Basin varying within 25 to 85 cm from data of observations at some drifting stations) and ice melting from the top and the bottom and lateral ice melting. The average value of ice melting determined from data of observations at the drifting stations for multiyear ice comprises 44 cm for melting from the top and 20 to 40 cm for melting from the bottom. A contribution from lateral ice melting is also significant. The volume of winter ice growth in the Arctic Basin was estimated from climatic data as 9677-9886 km~3 and the volume of summer melting as 6876-7086 km~3, which corresponds to the prescribed volume of the exported ice from the Arctic Ocean of 2800/2850 km~3. The excess of the winter ice formation over summer melting serves as the main source of heat released in the winter period from the surface of the Arctic Ocean to the atmosphere. The anomalous water freshening in the upper layer of the North Atlantic observed in the 1960s-early 1970s is primarily related to the increased flow of freshwater to the Arctic Ocean due to intense snow and ice melting in the Arctic, especially in 1958-1963 in the region of the Canadian archipelago, Baffin Bay and West Greenland. The increased summer air temperature in the Arctic, which began at the end of the 1980s can be an indication of the formation of a new impulse of freshening in the Arctic Ocean.
