中国南极考察在过去5年实现了基础设施与自主装备的跨越式发展,已建成全季全域的综合调查监测体系。
今天(11月7日),由自然资源部组织的中国第43次南极考察队从海南三亚出征奔赴南极。
此次考察聚焦应对全球气候变化、科考站点升级建设等五大方向,开展全方位、立体化南极综合科考任务,持续提升我国极地认识水平与全球海洋治理能力,将全面完成秦岭站现场建设收尾和验收工作,开展玛丽·伯德地考察站拟选配套设施踏勘测绘,开展长城站和中山站升级改造前期准备工作。在南极半岛邻近海域、宇航员海等典型海域,围绕气候变化对南大洋生态系统的影响,开展物理海洋、海洋化学、海洋生物、海洋地质、大气和海冰等多学科综合调查与长期监测。
此次考察,还将集中开展AR500大型无人直升机、THT550冰原牵引车等国产装备极地实测,全面提升极地装备自主保障能力。与此同时,深化双多边国际科研和保障合作。
本次科考由“雪龙”号、“雪龙2”号、“大洋”号三船协同保障,来自国内100多家单位的600余名科考队员参与,预计2027年4月完成全部任务返航。
我国南极科考成果丰硕
过去5年,我国南极考察在基础设施建设、科考自主装备研发、极地科学研究、参与全球极地治理多线推进,成果丰硕。
过去5年,我国南极考察保障能力实现跨越式提升,技术装备自主研发实现多项突破。
秦岭站屹立冰原,清洁能源系统占比高达60%,充分践行了“绿色考察”的中国倡议。
2022年建成、2023年投入使用的中山站冰雪跑道机场,结束了我国南极考察长期借用国外跑道的历史,提升了我国南极综合科考、国际合作与极地应急能力。
国产极轨卫星通信测试成功,打破了长期依赖境外卫星服务的局面,告别极地科考“信息孤岛”。
自主研发制造的“雪豹”6×6轮式载具投入使用,填补我国极地高速机动载具空白,人员快速运送、科考保障和应急救援能力明显提升,推动内陆科考从“重载慢行”迈向高效机动新模式。
国家海洋局极地考察办公室副主任 龙威:冰下热水钻探深度刷新国际纪录,牵头多国实施南极罗斯海和普里兹湾秋冬季联合航次调查,南极科技论文发表数量和质量均居世界首位。
目前,我国已初步建成南极全季全域、海陆空立体协同的综合调查监测体系,改变了以往单季节、局部海域、单点观测的局限,实现南极冰盖、大气、海洋、生物、地质多要素全天候一体化探测,为研判极地气候变化、解析南大洋生态演变、开展精准科学研究提供了数据支撑。
我国已有411个南极地名被国际组织收录
南极地名是极地科研能力和治理话语权的直接体现。截至目前,我国已有411个南极地名被国际组织收录,标志着我国南极地理命名领域的科研能力和治理话语权能力得到有效提升。
国家海洋局极地考察办公室副主任 龙威:这些工作有助于深化对南极环境要素的综合认识,为认识南极和全球气候变化的相互影响打下扎实基础。
