بحر پچورا (، Pechora Seaروسية: Печо́рское мо́ре أو Pechorskoye More) ، هو بحر يقع في شمال غرب روسيا، المنطقة الجنوبية من بحر بارنتس. حدوده الجنوبية تقابل جزيرة كولگويڤ، بينما حدود الشرقية هي السواحل الغربية لجزيرة ڤايگاچ وشبه جزيرة يوگورسكي، والحدود الشرقية تمثل الحافة الجنوبية لنوڤايا زمليا.

بحر پچورا ضحل تماماً، يصل متوسط عمقه إلى 6 أمتار. أعمق نقطة فيه تصل إلى 210 م. في المنطقة الجنوبية من البحر يجري شرقاً تيار كولگويڤ. هناك بعض الجزر بالقرب من الشاطئ، أكبرها جزيرة دولگي.

بحر پچورا مغلق بالجليد الطافي من نوفمبر حتى يونيو. النهر الرئيسي الذي يعبر البحر هو پچورا.

التاريخ

Historically, before the adjacent Barents Sea was named as such, the Pechora Sea's own name was already established. The rest of the present-day Barents Sea was known then as Sea of Murmansk (Murmanskoye Morye).

The Pechora Sea was used as a starting point of the exploration of the then unknown icy seas lying to the east. The earliest recorded voyage across the Pechora Sea through the Yugorsky Strait was made by early Russian explorer Uleb, from Veliky Novgorod. Uleb's passing into the Kara Sea was recorded in 1032.

Russian Pomors, the coastal dwellers of the White Sea shores, have explored the Sea and the coast of Novaya Zemlya since the 11th century. The Arctic's first shipping line, the Great Mangazea Route, from the White Sea to the Ob River and the Yenisei Gulf began operating in the latter part of the 16th century. This line opened up the way to Siberia's riches and it worked until 1619, when it was closed for military and political reasons, for fear of possible penetration by Europeans into Siberia.

الجغرافيا

The Pechora Sea is blocked by floating ice from November to Juneقالب:--a relatively short period.[5] The main river entering the Sea is the Pechora. The Sea's salinity ranges from 18 to 34 ‰. At the central part of the Sea, the salinity stays around 34 ‰, and the temperature ranges from 0.5 إلى 2 °C (32.9 إلى 35.6 °F).[2]

الباثيمترية

The Pechora Sea's average depth is 6 m (20 ft), and its deepest point reaches 210 m (690 ft).[4] The mean depth ranges from 11 m (36 ft) in the Bay to 190 m (620 ft) south of Novaya Zemlya.[6] The Atlantic-influenced Kolguyev Current, which influences the temperature and salinity of the central part of the Sea, flows eastwards.[2] There are a few islands[كمية] close to the coast, the largest of which is Dolgiy Island.

The Sea's shallowness makes it distinct from the rest of the Barents Sea. Over its 205،607 km2 (79،385 sq mi) area,[3] the average depth in the Sea is around 50 m (160 ft).[3] This shallowness prevents the upwelling of nutrients from the Atlantic,[3] contributing to the Sea's low pelagic productivity.

الهيدرولوجيا

As with the neighbouring Kara Sea, the Pechora Sea's hydrologic situation is unique for its high input from rivers and heavy continental outflow.[7][3] The Pechora River alone discharges about 130 km3 (31 cu mi) of freshwater into the Pechora Sea from the Pechora Riverقالب:--the Pechora Sea's main source of inflowقالب:--supplying the Sea with a sediment load of 6.1×106 طن متري (6.1×109 kg; 1.34×1010 lb) yearly.[2]

Compared to other seas around the world, the Arctic Ocean's river-heavy source of inflow is significant, giving the Pechora Sea less Arctic-like characteristics than would be expected at latitudes so far from the equator. The Pechora Sea together with the bordering Kara Sea (separated by the jet stream) make up more than a third of the Arctic Ocean's total runoff from continental sources[7] (as opposed to mostly saltwater sources like most oceans). This high input from rivers makes this area of the Arctic Ocean unique.[7]

درجة الحرارة والملوحة

Ice formation is boosted by the Sea's low salinity. The temperature ranges from −1.0 إلى 1.5 °C (30.2 إلى 34.7 °F) below 150 m (490 ft); 0.5 إلى 2 °C (32.9 إلى 35.6 °F) at the central part of the Sea; and 5 إلى 8 °C (41 إلى 46 °F) in summer and autumn at the southern part of the Sea.[2]

Its salinity ranges from 8 to 18 ‰ in the bay, 18 to 26 ‰ in the southern portion, and 34 ‰ in the central part,[2] increasing with distance from the mouth of the Pechora River.[8]

المناخ

The Pechora Sea has a humid continental climate. Polar bears and Atlantic walrus are threatened by climate change,[3] which exceptionally burdens the Arctic.

Counteracting the Sea's continental position is the influx of nutrients supplied by the Pechora River,[3] which gives the Sea 4،570 km3 (1،100 cu mi) of sediment and 12،500 طن متري (12،500،000 kg; 13،800 short ton) of other suspended matter.[3]

The Sea's cold continental climate,[3] a result of its location in the dead centre of the continent, gives favourable conditions to ice formation.[3] As a result of this continental position and abundance of ice, the Sea's water column is stratified, its sediment is heterogeneous[9] and its pelagic productivity is low.[3]

الرواسب في قاع البحر

1 km (0.62 mi)-wide fast ice covers the floor of the Sea's coastal zone. On top of it is flaw polynya.[3]

الجغرافيا الحيوية والبيئة

It supports a unique benthic ecosystem. The productive benthic environment fostered by the Pechora River holds more than 600 fauna.[3] At the Kara and Yugorsky Straits, the total biomass is more than 500 mg/m2 (0.00010 lb/sq ft), the highest in the Barents Sea. This benefits benthic organisms such as walruses. The Pechora River, the main input for the Pechora Sea, has an average yearly runoff of 130 km3 (31 cu mi). The Pechora Sea has 70 fish species,[3] the most abundant being Boreogadus saida.[3] This species is important for the cryopelagic ecosystem.

The fisheries of the Barents Sea, in particular the cod fisheries, are of great importance for both Norway and Russia. There is a diversity of benthic fauna on the Pechora Sea floor.[10] In addition, there is a genetically distinct polar bear population associated with the Barents Sea.[11] The Karskaya group of beluga whales migrate into Pechora Sea for wintering.[12] Various species such as walruses are threatened by possible pollutions.[13][14]

Chionoecetes opilio, a species of snow crab

There are about 600 taxa in the Pechora Sea.[3] Various anadromous fishes inhabit the Sea. One of the largest Northern European stocks of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as well as other fish populations from surrounding areas migrate throughout the Pechora Sea each autumn to spawn, a process which they complete under the ice.[3] Additionally, the only stock of Coregonus autumnalis in Northern Europe, and one of the region's largest, spawns in the Pechora's estuary.[3]

The Pechora Sea is the main 'staging and moulting ground for king eiders. Long-tailed ducks scoters and most other waterfowl species use the Sea as a stopover point.[3]

At the Kara and Yugorsky Straits, the total biomass is more than 500 mg/m2 (0.00010 lb/sq ft), the highest in the Barents Sea.[3] The most abundant phyla are Annelida, Bryozoa, Crustacea, Echinodermata, Mollusca and Sarcomastigophora.[15]

التلوث

Relative to the rest of the Barents Sea, the water quality of the Pechora Sea is poor.[16]

الاقتصاد

النفط والغاز

اعتبارا من 2023, the Pechora Sea is one of the most developed places in the Arctic with regard to petroleum exploration.[3]

منصة پريرازلومنوييه النفطي

In current timesقالب:As of? there is some oil drilling in the Pechora Sea at the Dolginskoye and Prirazlomnoye oil fields. The negative ecological impact of such industrial exploitation in the Pechora Sea coast is significant.[17] According to Greenpeace[18] and the World Wildlife Fund Gasprom is not prepared to deal adequately with a spill associated with oil production.[19] As such, in September, 2013, Greenpeace staged a confrontation with the Russian Coast Guard in which Greenpeace activists approached and attempted to scale a Gasprom drilling platform.
