Meanwhile, the maximum outer edge of floating ice in the three nearby sea areas, namely Bohai Bay, the northern edge of the Yellow Sea, and Laizhou Bay stands at 13, 23 and nearly 10 nautical miles, respectively. The sea ice in the four sea areas totaled an area of 36,637 square kms, up 9,000 from Wednesday, the center said, but forecasted that ice coverage would decrease in the coming days due to warmer air temperatures. Yesterday’s monitoring by North China Sea Marine Forecasting Centre of the State Oceanic Administration showed that 27 433 square kms or about one third of the Bohai Sea was covered with ice.
The Bohai Sea, semi-enclosed by the Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas, is one of the country’s busiest sea routes. – Xinhua.
