Abstract

Abstract

Deep submergence technology is the cutting edge and one of the most advanced deep-sea technologies. With the development of high technology since 1960s,countries such as America,Japan,France and Russia have made a rapid progress in the development and application of manned submersibles; they have mastered this technology successively and are capable of applying it to the in situ observation,detection and sampling at complex deep ocean conditions. To date,the vehicles have been applied to obtain deep-sea geological,geophysical,biological,chemical and environmental information at areas including continental slopes,mid-ocean ridges,seamounts,sea-floor trenches and ocean basins all over the world,based on which,a batch of important findings and innovative results have been achieved and thus improving the deep sea research. China self-designed Jiaolong manned submersible has successfully completed 7 000 m class sea trial. The test operational phase has been conducted since 2013,and rich scientific investigations have been achieved via the successful voyages. This paper briefly describes the current status of the development of manned submersibles of each country and their advantages in deep ocean research,and reviews the application in marine geology,biology and physical oceanography of manned submersibles developed by domestic and foreign countries.
