Abstract :
This paper focuses on the processes leading to increase of the solar radiation, reaching the Black Sea surface. We have tried to analyze the correlation between sea surface temperature, clouds and ozone layer thickness above the Black Sea by using simultaneously data from the satellite system NOAA, TOMS and ground stations. The anomalous changes in the examined atmosphere and sea surface parameters are described. Synoptical maps of Europe during the anomalies arc used in the research process. This paper discusses the extent to which ozone layer natural anomalies and meteorological conditions can lead to possible ecological changes. An electronic atlas of daily sea surface temperatures for the period 1985 - 1998 and the respective ozone layer condition has been published for the purposes of the research. The methods used in data processing and analyzing are described in the paper.
