2 2 ~ Recently three small reports were presented by members of the nstitute of Marine research viz: Midttun, Nakken and Raknes (1981), Loeng, Nakken and Raknes (1983) and s~tersdal and Loeng {1934) all describing biological reactions to climatic variations in the Barets Sea. The biological reactions were in the two larger fish stocks of the area, the Arctic Cod and the Barents Sea Cape1in. t is of considerable interest to study the nature of the biological reaction proc~sses, and equally important is it to try to understand the mechanisms causing the climatic variations. The latter is however beyond the scope of this paper which is merely just a of climatic variations observed in the Barents Sea in the period The paper may be seen as an to the two papers dealing with some biological variables observed in Capelin (Gj~s~ter and Loeng 1984) and Cod (Nakken and Raknes 1984) during recent years. 2. Climat in the Barents Sea. The Barents Sea is in the north and east covered with Arctic water masses, where ice is formed in winter and melts again during the surruner season~ n the south and west the inflowing Norwegian Coastal Current and the Barents Sea branch of the Atlantic Current form the Sub-Arctic water masses bordered from the Arctic area by the Polar Front (Fig. l) The climatic conditions in the Barents Sea are therefore determined both by effects from variation in the inflow from the west and by processes place in the sea itself. Several authors have studied the climatic conditions of the Barents Sea, among others He11and-Hansen and Nansen (199), Lee (1963), Kislyakov (1964), Midttun (19691, Dickson, Midttun and Mukhin (197)Q Buchkov (1976) r B1indhe.im and Loeng (1981), ( ) Dickson and Blindheim (1984).

Location of the four sections A, B, K, and C seen in relation to the circulation pattern of the Barents Sea.----> : Atlantic water, --- -> : Arctic water, > : Coastal water. The polar front is indicated by a broken line. A general conclusion is that the climatic conditions of the Barents Sea depend mainly on the activity and property in the inflowing water from the west. Climatic variations can therefore be recorded in the sections crossing the inflowing water masses. 3. Variations in standard sections The locations of the standard sections dealt with below are shown in Fig 1. The three sections A, B, and C have been observed by Norwegian reserach vessels since the early 195's,

The relative high salinity value in section C observed in August 1981 is difficult to explain. The temperature curves as well have similar trends. The lowest values were observed in , some warming through 198, but again lower values in Since early 1982 the temperature has generally been increasing~ The best description of the climatic variations in the period is presented in Fig. 6 which shows the temperature anomalies observed in the Kola section (section K). The normal in the -2 m layer are monthly means for the period n the same figure is also indicated the variation in the ice coverage in the Barents Sea taken from s~tersdal and Loeng (1984). s. Concluding remarks. Large variations have been observed in the climatic conditions in the Barents Sea during the 197's. The second half of the decade was characterized by low temperature, low salinity anq large ice coverage. Through the beginning of the 198's temperature and salinity are generally increasing and the ice coverage becomes smaller. The climatic variations are mainly determined by variation in the Atlantic inflow to the Barents Sea.
