Information Products to Study Environmental Threats and Dangerous Phenomena in the Black, Azov and Caspian Seas

摘要

Five software products created in the marine research institutes of Ukraine using environmental information of the Black Sea and Caspian basin are shortly presented. Two systems: GIS “Hydrometeorology of the Black and Azov Seas” and the Caspian Biodiversity Information System mean for the common functions of treatment of environmental information. Besides they are also able to reveal threats and dangerous phenomena, such as severe storms, freezing, droughts, extreme rises of sea level and biodiversity decline. Three programs are dedicated to more specialized topics: fluctuations of upper boundary of hydrogen sulphide, numerical simulations of marine chemical structure, flooding coastal territories due to sea level rise, tsunami propagation.
