- Abstract
The long-term dynamics of the thermal regime of sea waters in the Sakhalin-Kuril Region is poorly studied. At the same time, external environmental factors are decisive in the formation of the structure and size of the stocks of commercial hydrobionts, the most abundant representatives of ecosystems. Data on the temperature of the water surface and the upper quasi-homogeneous layer of the sea were obtained in the course of long-term ship and satellite observations at test sites located in the waters of the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Pacific Ocean adjacent to the islands. The regional features of changes in the thermal regime of the waters, due to the nature of coastal currents and the effect of local climatic conditions, are revealed. Throughout the region, the similar dynamics of the long-term trends for warming and cooling of the thermal regime during 1998–2020 is traced.
