Our work:

1. Baltic Sea:

the mesoscale phenomena (fronts, eddies, currents, etc.), their origin, development, characteristic features and interactions in the sea;

the inflows of North Sea water into Baltic Sea, the transport conditions (with particular regard to the part of the Stolpe Sill and Stolpe Channel area), the influence on the termohaline fields structures in the deep basins of Baltic Sea;

the mixing and transport of the inland origin waters into surrounding open sea area (on example the Pomeranian Bay and Gdansk Bay);

2. Arctic Seas:

• Norwegian - Barents Sea confluence zone:
  

  
  
  

  hydrological regime and water volume transport;

  interannual changes of the physical fields;

  dense water formation.

• Arctic Front:
  
  
  

  termohaline structure and dynamics;

  mesoscale features - meanders and eddies ;

  cross frontal transport .
