The paper focuses on the analysis of interannual, seasonal, and spatial variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the south–eastern part of the Baltic Sea, including the Curonian and Vistula Lagoons. The data sets are derived from MODIS instrument on Aqua and Terra satellites, and analyzed for 2003–2012. Linear trends of seasonal and interannual SST change are calculated. SST increase is estimated at a rate of 0.70 ± 0.27 °C/decade in the open part of the South–Eastern Baltic. The observed warming is spatially inhomogeneous – the coastal area demonstrates faster warming rates of SST than the open part of the sea. The Curonian and Vistula Lagoons represent significantly lower rates of warming. However, seasonal tendencies of SST change in the Lagoons and the open part of the sea coincide. Correlation between SST and air temperature changes is analyzed. A coincidence of air temperature and SST seasonal development is observed – positive trends occur in the warm period (spring and summer), negative trends – in the cold period (winter and autumn). A strong correlation between MODIS-derived SST and in situ data is detected.
Keywords: sea surface temperature, MODIS, South–Eastern Baltic, interannual variability of SST, seasonal change of SST, SST linear trend, air temperature
