• Andrzej Jankowski, Assoc.Prof., head of the Unit  jankowsk@iopan.gda.pl
   

Field of interest

• Modelling (hydrodynamical-numerical) of  tides, storm surges, water circulation, mass and substance transport,
  upwelling in the Baltic Sea and adjacent basins.
• Modeling (analytical, inverse and numerical) of the large-scale dynamics and circulation in the Nordic Seas.

Some results of research

        Baltic Sea:

• Wind-driven  water circulation in the homogeneous basin, Wind-driven circulation in the Baltic Sea  (results in File in PDF format),
   
• Climatic water circulation in the baroclinic basin for selected months (from April to November)  - driven by multi-year averaged wind and density fields.
• Wind - induced variability of  hydrological  parameters in the  Southern Baltic Sea, Hydrodynamics and variability of hydrological iparameters n the Baltic Sea- modelling and numerical simulations    (results in File in PDF format),
   
• Modelling of upwelling along the Polish Baltic coast - first results of hindcast modelling of  the upwelling situation in September 1989,  Hydrodynamics and variability of hydrological iparameters n the Baltic Sea- modelling and numerical simulations  (results in File in PDF
  format2),

  Nordic Seas:
   

• Identification of JEBAR (joint effect of baroclinicity and relief) as a driving mecanism
  for the East Greenland Current in Fram Strait and construction of an analytical JEBAR
  model for that current.
   
• Construction of a geostrophic (baroclinic + barotropic) flow field in the deepest
  passage between the Arctic Ocean and the rest of the World’s Ocean (Fram Strait)
  using an original inverse model applied to the largest quasi-synoptic data set in the
  area (from MIZEX 84 experiment).
   
• Estimation of the volume, heat and fresh water fluxes in Fram Strait, for all water                                                                                       masses present in the area, based on the inverse model.
