白令海是北太平洋的边缘海，位于中高纬度地区。它可以分为几乎相等的两个部分。北部为白令海陆架，深度不足200米，西南另一部分为白令盆地，深度超过3000米。盆地内存在气旋性环流，由西部的堪察加洋流、南部的阿留申北坡洋流和东部的白令洋坡洋流组成。作为连接太平洋和北冰洋的过渡区，水文环境的变化直接影响太平洋入流的性质，这不仅是北冰洋西部陆架-斜坡-盆地系统的关键因素，而且还可以通过北极将其影响扩大到大西洋北部。更重要的是，广阔的白令海是一个富有生产力的生态系统，具有巨大的经济和文化价值，自然环境的变化能够重组生态系统。
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.
