INTRODUCTION: FIELD MEASUREMENT IN THE COASTAL WATERS HELPS TO OBTAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THE VARIOUS PHENOMENON COVERING ENVIRONMENTAL, HYDRODYNAMIC, GEOMORPHOLOGY, METEOROLOGY, AND ETC.TODAY MOST OF THE MARINE FIELD OBSERVATIONS MAKE USE OF ADVANCED INSTRUMENTS WHICH ARE EQUIPPED WITH PRECISE SENSORS. ONE OF THESE INSTRUMENTS IS ACOUSTICS CURRENT DOPPLER PROFILER (ADCP) WHICH IS CAPABLE OF CURRENT VELOCITY PROFILE AND WAVE CHARACTERISTIC’S MEASUREMENTS….

INTRODUCTION: OPTIMAL PORT PLANNING REQUIRES SUFFICIENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE HYDRODYNAMIC CONDITIONS OF THE PROJECT SITE. WAVES AND CURRENTS ARE HYDRODYNAMIC FACTORS IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE PORT LAYOUT. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF PROJECT SITE, WAVES, CURRENTS OR COMBINATION OF THEM CAN BE THE DOMINANT HYDRODYNAMIC PARAMETER OF THE PROJECT AREA. GHAMAR AREA IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST COAST OF THE PERSIAN GULF (FIG.1)…..

1- INTRODUCTION: CONSIDERING THE INCREASING EXPLOITATION OF OIL FIELDS IN THE CASPIAN SEA AND NEEDS TO DEVELOP THE NECESSARY STRUCTURES AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL INSTRUMENTS IN COASTAL AREAS AND OFFSHORE, PERFORMING COMPREHENSIVE STUDIES TO UNDERSTAND THE HYDRODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS FLOW, WAVE, SEA WATER LEVEL VARIATION, ETC, IS AMONG THE INITIAL AND URGENT STUDIES TO CONSTRUCT THESE STRUCTURES.MOREOVER, SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THIS SEA SUCH AS BEING A CLOSED LAKE, TOO MUCH DEPTH AND ITS RELATED DIFFICULTIES TO ACCESS TO THE BED OIL MINES AND ALSO LIMITED MARINE TRANSPORTATION AND NAVIGATION, THE CASPIAN SEA IN COMPARISON WITH THE PERSIAN GULF AND OMAN SEA HAS LOWER STUDY PRIORITIES.

THE WATER IN THE BALTIC SEA IS COMPOSED BY A TWOLAYER STRUCTURE - THE DEEP LAYER AND THE SURFACE ONE. THERE ARE, HOWEVER, DIFFERENCES IN THE NEAR SHORE ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH BOTTOM RELIEF, SEASONALITY AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. DURING JOINT EXPEDITIONS OF MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY, MOSCOW INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY AND BALTIC FEDERAL UNIVERSITY IN 2009-2016, WE CARRIED OUT ADCP MEASUREMENTS IN MORE THAN 1000 CTD STATIONS ALONG THE SHORE OF SAMBIAN PENINSULA NEAR KALININGRAD...
