오오츠크해의 결빙

Sea of Okhotsk

오오츠크海의 유빙

 

아시아 대륙 북동쪽 북태평양 부속해(海). 11월부터 이듬해 6월까지는 기온이 크게 떨어져 대류작용이 20∼30 m 깊이까지 미치고, 바닷물도 심하게 냉각되어 서쪽 해안 근처에서는 두꺼운 결빙현상이 일어난다.  

Though the Sea of Okhotsk off the eastern coast of Russia is almost entirely covered in ice during the winter months, it is one of the more productive marine environments in the world during the late spring and summer months

In this northern sea winter navigation is usually difficult, and at times impossible due to ice. Regardless, commerce still flows most of the year through the important Russian ports of Magadan, Palana and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
