Oceanographic Condition of the Bering Sea in BASIS
Several interdecadal changes have taken place in atmosphere and hydrosphere of the northern Pacific in the past three decades. The most important change was in late 1970s (Minobe 1997). It is known as “climate shift”. Some scientist (Krovnin et al. 2001; Minobe 2002) considered that the cooling in 1...

Summary: | Several interdecadal changes have taken place in atmosphere and hydrosphere of the northern Pacific in the past three decades. The most important change was in late 1970s (Minobe 1997). It is known as “climate shift”. Some scientist (Krovnin et al. 2001; Minobe 2002) considered that the cooling in 1998 was a “climate shift”. From 2002 both air temperature in spring and sea surface temperature in summer changed to warming in the Bering Sea again and 2003 was one of the warmest since 1950. Thus the start of BASIS coincided with a warming in |
