| Abstract: |
| On the basis of the investigated data for sea ice physical processes during the Second Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition (CHINARE-2003) in the summer of 2003, the sea ice dynamical characteristics were analyzed and the parameters describing these characteristics were given. The new findings discovered from these parameters are:(1) The ice concentration obtained from the investigation is two tenths to three tenths lower compared with that from the NOAA Ice Chart; and the ice thickness in the summer is 2 m less compared with the results obtained during the First Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition in 1999 (CHINARE-1999),(2) the standard deviation of the ice bottom fluctuation is 3.8 times that of the snow surface on the ice sheet; (3) the maximum speed of the ice floe on which camp CHIS7 is located (CHIS7 floe) is 1 300 m/h with rotation and oscillation. The rotation angle increased stepwise, the maximum being 37.8°, while the CHIS7 floe moved toward the north-east, and its rotation angle decreased stepwise.While the CHIS7 floe moved south-eastward. The oscillation period of CHIS7 floe is 12.45 h, which is consistent with that of the inertial current at the same latitude, showing the contribution of the inertial current to the ice floe movement. |
