  : The purpose of this study is to find connections between the North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation (NA THC), climate elements, such as cloud cover, precipitation, air temperature, sunshine duration, and relative humidity, and flow of rivers in Poland. The intensity of NA THC was characterized by the DG3L index, which was established to assess changes in the amount of heat transported by NA THC along with the transport of water...

  - Year 2015

  We report the results of recent field measurements of seawater thermohaline structure and transparency carried out in early summer 2014 in Puck Bay. Near-bottom, less saline waters occurred almost in the entire study area. Their occurrence in the shallow part of Puck Bay was accompanied by an increase in the seawater transparency. The most likely explanation of these observations is a submarine fresh groundwater discharge.

  - Year 2018

  The Baltic Sea is characterized by variable hydroacoustic conditions, which depend on hydrological conditions throughout the year. The temperature of the water is the factor that has the greatest impact on the changes in the speed of the sound in this basin. Even at a small depth, we can observe a large temperature gradient affecting the accuracy of the conducted research using hydroacoustic devices. A characteristic feature of...

  - CHEMOSPHERE - Year 2018

  The number, morphology and elemental composition of nanoparticles (<100 nm) in marine water was investigated using Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscopy (VP-SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Preliminary research conducted in the Baltic Sea showed that the number of nanoparticles in seawater varied from undetectable to 380 (x102) cm-3. Wind mixing and density barriers (thermocline) had a significant impact...

  - Przegląd Geograficzny - Year 2016

  Praca dotyczy przyczyn występowania multidekadowej zmienności średnich rocznych przepływów największych rzek Polski (Wisła, Bug, Odra, Warta). Taka zmienność powoduje, że w wieloletnich przebiegach przepływów rocznych zaznaczają się zmiany znaków trendów (z dodatnich na ujemne i odwrotnie). Przyczyną jest długookresowa zmienność składowej powierzchniowej cyrkulacji termohalinowej na północnym Atlantyku (NA THC – Northern Atlantic...
