Abstract

The data of the joint integrated expedition in the Strait of Kerch carried out by the Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the Southern Scientific Center (SSC) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in September 2011 is discussed. The capabilities and results of using the present-day instruments and methods for satellite imagery processing aimed at obtaining quantitative estimates of the concentration of suspended matter and chlorophyll “a” are considered. The features of the water dynamics, as well as the temperature, salinity, concentrations of total suspended matter, and chlorophyll “a” fields, in the Strait of Kerch under the variable wind were studied.
