	15 октября 2009 г. The hydrographic condition assessments based on the expedition investigations for the Arctic basin and Arctic seas are presented for summer 2008. Positive surface temperature anomalies and surface layer freshening were observed on the significant area of the Amerasian sub-basin. In Eurasian sub-basin from the Fram Strait to the Laptev Sea along the continental slope the surface layer salinization was revealed.The surface water temperature was in the mean range for an exception of the Fram Strait region. In the Atlantic layer in 2008 the mean and maximal temperatures everywhere were higher than climate values. At the same time in comparison with the 2007 mean and maximal temperatures of the Atlantic waters were decreased at 0,25–0,5 °C. Total heat content and the Atlantic layer thickness were decreased. In the Amundsen Basin in 2008 the low temperature increase was observed in the Atlantic layer in comparison with the 2007. Keywords: Arctic Ocean, surface layer, Atlantic waters, heat content, surface temperature and salinity anomalies.

	15 октября 2009 г. FEATURES OF THE ARCTIC BASIN SURFACE LAYER AT ANOMALOUS SUMMER OF 2007 The description of the Arctic Ocean surface layer state was done using oceanographic observation data for summer 2007. The observable vertical profiles of temperature and salinity in the ocean surface layer were divided into three types and their distribution map for summer 2007 was generated. The surface layer characteristic estimations, including mixed layer thickness, mixed layer mean temperature, mixed layer mean salinity and Brunt–Vaisala frequencies were calculated and spatial distribution maps were plotted. The comparative analysis with historical data shows that the surface layer characteristic of the Arctic Basin and the bordering Arctic Seas underwent considerable changes. Keywords: Arctic Ocean, surface layer, profile types of temperature and salinity, Brunt–Vaisala frequency, mixed layer thickness.

	6 ноября 2009 г. The results of investigations carry-out by authors around Antarctic research station «Novolazarevskaya» (Shirmaher oasis) during 2004–2008 are analyze. New data about albedo of different types of surface around oasis (ice dome, snow patches, and artificial ice constructions) are present. The principal possibility to reduce speed of glacier surface melting during maximum of insolation on example of fly up – landing zone (FLZ) of ice aerodrome is showed. Cause-consequence relationships between albedo and structure of snow-glacier cover from one side and albedo and meteorological conditions from another are describe. Keywords: Antarctic, Novolazarevskaya, solar radiation, albedo, snow, firn, ice.

А.В.Преображенская, канд. геогр. наук И.Н.Сократова ГНЦ РФ Арктический и антарктический научно-исследовательский институт, Санкт-Петербург, e-mail: aaricoop@aari.nw.ru Представлены новые данные о строении, изотопном и газовом составе конжеляционного льда подледникового озера Восток до глубины 3667 м. Изотопный состав льда из этих горизонтов отражает существенное влияние гидротермальных источников на изотопный и водный баланс озера, а также указывает на недостаточное перемешивание озерной воды, что имеет важное значение с точки зрения условий существования микробиоты. Газовый состав свидетельствует о том, что процесс формирования льда протекает почти без образования т.н. «водных карманов», что практически исключает вероятность обнаружения в этом льду озерных микроорганизмов. Данные о строении льда предполагают, что он был сформирован в условиях притока талой воды из северной части озера, что объясняет некоторые особенности изменчивости изотопного и газового составов льда. Ключевые слова: Антарктика, подледниковое озеро Восток, ледяные керны, изотопный состав, газосодержание, строение льда.

	A.V.Popov, I.D.Karelin  Role of the Arctic Flaw Polynyas in Genesis of New Ice in the Seas of the Siberian Shelf and Freshening of the Surface Waters of the Arctic Ocean	74
	20 октября 2009 г. Estimates of daily ice growth in all the flaw polynyas of the seas of the Siberian shelf have been obtained on the basis of the methods developed by Zubov, Sabinin and Cavaliery. Calculations have been performed of the «effective» ice thicknesses for all the polynyas under consideration. Having integrated values of these «effective» ice thicknesses for the polynya areas, we have obtained estimates of ice volumes produced in the flaw polynyas of each of the seas of the Siberain shelf. Estimate of freshwater volumes accumulated in new ice, formed in the flaw polynyas, has been performed. Temporal series of the ice volumes, forming annually in the polynyas of the seas of the Siberian shelf, have been obtained. Comparison of estimates, obtained by the authors using different methods with earlier data, has been conducted. Estimates of the volumes of freshwater, accumulated in ice, are given, as well as comparison of river inflow in each of the seas under consideration. The volume of freshwater, accumulated in ice formed in all the polynyas of the Kara Sea for the period November–May, equals 9–64 % of the multi-annual total river inflow in this sea. The volume of freshwater, accumulated in ice formed in all the polynyas of the Laptev Sea for the period November–May, equals 6 – 107 % of the multi-annual total river inflow in this sea. The volume of freshwater, accumulated in ice formed in all the polynyas of the East Siberian Sea for the period November–May, equals 0,3 – 115 % of the multiannual total river inflow in this sea by the mean value of 33%. Values of frequency of occurrence of episodes of polynya existence have increased from 30–70 % to 80–100 %, and area of many polynyas increased in 2–5 times. In accordance with it, volumes of ice increased, formed in the flaw leads. This increase of ice volumes at the expense of increase of polynya areas significantly exceeds influence of increased air temperatures, observed in the period of warming in the Arctic. Keywords: flaw lead, ice, freshwater balance, daily incrimination of ice, “efficient thickness” of ice, accumulation of fresh water, the Arctic Ocean, the Greenland Sea, the North Atlantic, climate variations.
