Abstract: We prove uniform convergence of metrics

g_{k}

on a closed surface with bounded integral curvature (measure) in the sense of A.D. Alexandrov, under the assumption that the curvature measures

m a t h b b K_{g_{k}} = m u_{k}^{1} - m u_{k}^{2}

, where

m u_{k}^{1}, m u_{k}^{2}

are nonnegative Radon measures that converge weakly to measures

m u^{1}, m u^{2}

respectively, and

m u^{1}

is less than

2 p i

at each point. This generalizes Yu. G. Reshetnyak's well-known result on uniform convergence of metrics on a domain in

m a t h b b C

, and answers affirmatively the open question on the metric convergence on a closed surface.We also show that a metric

g = e^{2 u} g_{0}

with bounded integral curvature in the sense of Alexandrov on a closed Riemannian surface

(S i g m a, g_{0})

can be approximated by smooth metrics in the fixed conformal class

[g_{0}]

in terms of distance functions, curvature measures and conformal factors. Results on a closed surface with varying conformal classes and on complete noncompact surfaces are obtained as well.
