research. Similar investigations on the German side<br />

of <strong>Kriegers</strong> Flak gave the following results regarding<br />

salinity, oxygen level and water temperature:<br />

During the month of May 2003, the surface temperature<br />

varied between 9.5 and 13.0°C and at the seabed<br />

between 7.7 and 10.5°C.<br />

During month of July 2003 the surface temperature<br />

measured, showed variations of between 9,5 and<br />

13,0°C and between 7,7 and 10,5°C at seabed level.<br />

During July 2003, the surface temperature within<br />

the research area was between 17.2 and 18.8°C. At seabed<br />

level sharp variations were noted in temperatures<br />

between 5.9 and 12.3°C. In September 2003 the surface<br />

temperature only varied with 0.8°C between 14.3<br />

The temperature of the surface water during 2003<br />

is relatively uni<strong>for</strong>m within the researched area. As<br />

during 2002, the temperature at the seabed locally<br />

varies with an amplitude of 6.4°C (summer 2003). The<br />

difference in temperature values at surface and seabed<br />

was greater during the summer and reached at various<br />

measuring stations values of 11°C. During spring,<br />

differences were between 0 and 4.6°C. In the autumn<br />

only small differences were measured of between 0<br />

and 1°C.<br />

During the 2003 period of research the salinity level<br />

showed surface values between 7.2 and 8.6 PSU and at<br />
