Marine Climate Research Department
 Professor Alexander Polonsky- Head of Marine Climatic Research Department
Scientists - 5; Engineers - 4; Technician - 2
In connection with the growing interest to the regional
manifestations of global climatic changes in the ocean-atmosphere
system and due to active participation of a group of scientists of
the department of oceanography in academic, national and
international climatic programs, in December, 2005 the Scientific
Council of MHI NASU proposed to organize a new structural unit in
the institute whose primary objective consisted in research of the
ocean climate.
The Department of Marine Climatic Research was organized on
February 1, 2006. The department staff included both the scientists
with abundant experience in climatic studies and young perspective
specialists.
Basic scientific directions
 large-scale
features and variability of thermohaline fields and circulation of
the Atlantic ocean waters in connection with global processes in the
ocean-atmosphere system;
physical processes
in the World ocean important for climate (such as meridional heat
transport and thermohaline anomalies in the ocean upper layer);
revealing of
interaction between large-scale processes in the ocean-atmosphere
system (such as North Atlantic Oscillation, El-Nino - South
Oscillation).
Projects
“International fundamental researches of coastal and shelf
of Azov - Black Sea basin" (code “Ecoshelf")
“Fundamental and applied physical-climatic researches of
marine environment and the ocean-atmosphere climatic system"
(code “Climate")
“Research of geophysical and biogeochemical processes determining
sustainable state and assimilation capacity of large Black Sea
ecosystem aimed at management and creation of methodology of
estimation of marine environment quality" (code “Sustainable
ecosystem")
Searching Theme “Research of optimal integration processes
providing ecologically safe development of the coastal regions of
Ukraine " (code “Integration")
