Przykłady upwellingów w Zatoce Koszalińskiej

Abstract

The examples of upwelling, a phenomenon that rarely occurs along the Polish part of the Baltic coast, are discussed in this study. The investigation was carried out in 2006 and 2008 near Mielno. It included temperature measurements along the cross-section perpendicular to the coast (4.5 km) at vertical sections (every 200 m) from surface to bottom, every 1 m. The obtained data allowed to determine the movement of water masses – the warm being pushed towards the open sea and the cold moving to the coast from deeper zones. The analysis of isotherm structure revealed the differences in water temperatures along the studied cross-section.
