| abstracts | The paper presented contains results of the latest studies on assessment of the vulnerability of the Polish coast to sea-level rise, thus providing the synthesis, development and update of all current works in this field. Apart from a general description of the basic physical and socio-economic coastal characteristics, boundary conditions were defined for further studies on Poland's vulnerability to ASLR. For each of the four areas, into which the Polish coastal zone was divided, a synthesis of threats and vulnerability to the expected SLR was carried out, taking into account characteristic elements and features of the regions. Basing upon two extreme scenarios of sea-level rise, i.e. ASLR1 with 30 cm/100 yrs (optimistic variant) and ASLR2 with 100 cm/100 yrs (pessimistic variant), the assessment and cost calculation of total protection measures of the endangered areas in the coastal zone related to their capital value to be lost was executed. Finally, it was found that the protective investments should mainly be undertaken on the west and east coasts, where economically justified. Because of limited funds, it is necessary to concentrate on particularly important and simultaneously strongly threatened regions. The detailed analysis of costs implies that the activities should be undertaken first on the coastal segments adjacent to Gdańsk and Szczecin, where vast agglomerations are located, with concentrated industry and related infrastructure, as well as centres of science and culture. |

| abstracts | The paper concerns investigations of regional variability of the wave climate in the Pomeranian Bay. Analysis is based on the wave measurements taken during a period of four months and numerical wave model WAM4 results. The calculations covered period of 3 months in 1997 (Oct., Nov., Dec.) and two years: 1998,1999. Analysis of wave modelling results shows that wave fields are not homogeneous in the whole area. The gradual increase (up to 50%) of yearly mean values of selected wave parameters can be observed going from the south-westerly of the Bay to north-easterly direction. Directional distribution of significant wave height is determined by wind climate and shape of the basin and prevails in easterly, south-easterly, south-westerly directions. |

| abstracts | The paper concems laboratory experiments on shallow water waves. The waves in our flume were generated as programmed groups, with gentle fading-in and fading-out of amplitudes of the wavemaker's piston's motions. The higher harmonic components have been considered in the motion. Their influence on characteristics of generated waves has also been studied. The measurements were carried out at 6 cross sections along the propagation path; both wave profiles and velocities were recorded. As a description of phenomena, the wave profiles were approximated by harmonic components according to the Stokes solution. It was noted, that parameters of harmonic components change along the propagation path; there are energy transfers between them. The higher harmonic components are more significant for the description of wave profiles, than for the velocities. The results of the experiments were used in verifications in a research program on the theoretical description and numerical algorithm for shallow water waves generated and propagated in a flume. |

| abstracts | In 2001 the European Space Agency ESA will launch the earth observation satellite ENVISAT. It will carry several instruments that provide new opportunities to measure oceanographic variabIes. These are the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR), the Radar Altimeter (RA), the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) and the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR). Together, they represent the main measurement techniques of satellite oceanography, and complement each other perfectly. These instruments are to be used in synergy to: 1) improve the analysis of measured wind and ocean wave fields, and thereby improve weather forecasting at weather centers; 2) determine the extent and variables of sea ice and develop a five-day sea ice prediction model, to support maritime shipping and offshore activities; 3) monitor map sediment and suspended matter transport in coastal regions, especially in areas with large river estuaries, which greatly affects shipping lanes, harbours, and dredging activities; 4) monitor hydrobiological and bio-geochemical variables related to water quality in coastal regions and large inland waters, which affects ecology, coastal development, aquaculture, drinking water supplies, and tourism. To prepare the oceanographic community to make best use of the ENVISAT sensors in the pre-Iaunch phase, existing algorithms to derive marine parameters are used and validated using data from the ERS SAR, the ERS RA, Sea WiFS, and IRS MOS sensors now in operation. Derived products, which include wind field, sea state, sea level, sea surface temperature and concentrations of water constituents, are used to address problems that can be tackled best using the synergy of radar and optical data, such as the effect of surface slicks on radar wind measurements, sea state on ocean color, wind and waves on the resuspension of suspended matter, and wind and waves on sea ice variabIes. |

| abstracts | Aerosol fluxes from the sea surface are one of the important factors determining the dynamics of the air-sea interaction. Not numerous available data showed that the intensity of aerosol fluxes strongly depends on the intensity of wave breaking. In the paper theoretical formulas to determine the probability of breaking crests and percentage of whitecaps coverage are discussed. These formulas are a starting basis for the set-by-step procedure to determine the aerosol fluxes in deep water under the steady sea state conditions. |

| abstracts | Nearshore bed variations of the southem Baltic shore were investigated with the aim of detecting co-variability among bed forms of a multi-bar system. The studied area is located at IBW PAN Coastal Research Station at Lubiatowo. The beach consists of fine sand of median grain equal to 0.22 mm, is mildly sloping and boasts multiple (usually 4) bars, which is typical for the coast in the southem Baltic. Data on bed topography were collected along 27 lines, equally spanned every 100 m, since 1987 to 1999, usually twice a year. Fairly high alongshore bed homogeneity made it possible to choose one representative profile for which the CCA method was employed. The method demonstrated considerable potential for detecting co-variability of bed features in the nearshore zone. The results show that some 80% of variability in the region of the offshore slope of the outermost bar can be attributed to variations of Dean equilibrium profiles. The portion of variability of the two innermost bars due to variations of equilibrium profiles equals 40%. Horizontal counter-movements of outer and inner bars can be responsible for same 20%. The remaining 40% should be related to highly variable short time scale phenomena like breakers and wave driven currents in the vicinity of inner bars. |
