英文摘要	The Bering Sea is a marginal sea of the North Pacific located in middle and high latitudes. It can be divided into almost two equal part. The northern one called the Bering Sea Shelf whose depth less than 200 m, meanwhile, the other southwest part is the Bering Basin which is deeper than 3000 m. There is a cyclonic circulation in the basin, which consists of the Kamchatka Current in the west, the Aleutian North Slope Current in the south and the Bering Slope Current in the east. As a transitional area connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, the variations of hydrological environment directly affect the properties of Pacific inflow, which not only is the key factor of the Shelf-Slope-Basin system in the west of the Arctic Ocean, but also can expand its impact to the north of Atlantic through the Arctic. What's more, the broad Bering Sea is a productive ecosystem that has great economic and cultural value, the changes in the physical environment are capable of reorganizing the ecosystem. In the summers of 1999, 2003, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014, a total of six Chinese National Arctic Research Expeditions were carried out. In these researches, the Arctic-Pacific sector has always been the focus, so that many years of hydrographic data were obtained in the Bering Sea basin. Based on the valuable CTD data from the repeated section, which is along the common border shared by the Russia and the America and intersects the whole basin, the distribution and interannual variation of water masses in the Bering Sea basin are analyzed. The results indicate that the water in this area can be divided into three types of water masses based on the differences in temperature and salinity: Bering Sea Basin Upper Water, Bering Sea Basin Intermediate Water, Bering Sea Basin Deep Water. In summer, Bering Sea Basin Upper Water is the warmest water mass in the basin and located at depths © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.
