Институт космических исследований РАН, 117997, Москва, ул. Профсоюзная, 84/32
In the paper the results of combined analysis of satellite and in situ data for the Northeastern Black
Sea are presented. Satellite data used comprise SST AVHRR NOAA and ASAR ENVISAT images. On
the base of these data the evolution of two different anticyclonic eddies (a ring and an eddy dipole) was
observed. The focus is on eddies impact on vertical structure of sea waters.
Keywords: mesoscale oceanic eddies, rings, hydrological seawater structure, AVHRR, ASAR ENVISAT
