The shipboard ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers) backscatter intensity data in the Eighth Arctic Science Expedition are analyzed for the temporal and spatial characteristics of the sound scattering layer (SSL), by combining the solar altitude, the sea ice concentration and the in-situ data of the water environment parameters. The results show that the higher the latitude is, the shorter the time of the SSL is on the sea surface. Even during the period of polar day and all covered by sea ice, the migration amplitude and backscattering intensity of the SSL are weakened, but they are still affected by the change of the solar elevation, and there is a strong temporal correlation between them and solar altitude angle. In the middle section of the Arctic, the migration of the SSL is weak, and there is no obvious SSL observed, the reason may be that the concentration of zooplanktons and fishes are relatively lower and the migration is weak, which is beyond the accuracy range of ADCP used in this paper. ADCP data in the back and forth from the Okhotsk Sea to the southwest of the Bering Sea, show that there are two SSLs, the shallower depth and the greater backscatter intensity, but their vertical migration time is synchronized, and the spacing between them is gradually reduced and combined as the latitude increases, it may be caused by marine organisms with different life habit.
