Abstract
Satellite data on sea surface temperature (SST ), visible and infrared imagery as well as altimetry and radar measurements were used to monitor different parameters of the Caspian Sea . Interannual variability of sea level (1993–2015) and SST (1982–2015) is considered. The elements of mesoscale water dynamics (vortices , jet-like flows , fine structure of upwelling frontal zone, internal waves , etc.) are discussed and examples of oil pollution are shown.
