Abstract

The main current system occurring at Admiralty Bay is a two-phase flow system typical for fiords. Tidal waters are a decisive factor in determining the movements of water, whereas surface circulation is determined by winds, when the wind speed is higher than 4 m/s. The maximum values and directions of the surface drift current depend exclusively upon the actually prevailing wind field. The current speeds may reach the order of magnitude up to 100 cm/s. This flow lies above the two-phase system of currents generated by tides. The value of the currents produced by tides may reach up to ~50 cm/s. The direction of the current flow is not always in line with the corresponding of the tide. This is due probably to the irregularity and asymmetry of the tide and great inertis of the water masses.

Abstract

Due to the ever-changing global climate, the frequency and intensity of extreme atmospheric phenomena are increasing. Strong winds, similar to hurricanes and tornados observed on the Atlantic, are starting to appear in the region of the Baltic Sea. How are they affecting Poland's coast?

Abstract

Globalne zmiany klimatu sprawiają, że coraz częściej pojawiają się ekstremalne zjawiska atmosferyczne - i są one coraz gwałtowniejsze. W rejonie Morza Bałtyckiego zaczynają się pojawiać silne wichury, podobne do huraganów i tornad występujących na Atlantyku. Jak zjawiska te wpływają na linię brzegową?
