Application of self-similar parameterization of thermohaline fields to marine ecological research

Abstract

In this paper, studies carried out as a continuation of Professor A.I. Fel'zenbaum's ideas about the application of models of vartical substance distribution (temperature, salinity, density, oxygen, etc.) to the theory of sea currents with the purpose of proximate monitoring of the basic physical fields in marine and oceanic regions are reviewed. It is demonstrated that such models can be used effectively in solving problems of environment protection, in systems of sea climate management, in the prediction of the state and migration of fish and invertebrates, in the examination of marine hydrotechnical engineering aimed at the development of problem-orientated databanks serving the description of scenarios of the marine ecosystem state, and in the comprehension of the regularities of their evolution.
