p. 7 - 24 OBSERVATIONS SUR LES COURANTS MARINS DANS LA ZONE, DES EMBOUCHURES DU DANUBE ET LEUR INFLUENCE SUR LA SALINITE DE L'EAU MARINE Gh. Serpoianu et I. Nae Institut Roumain de Recherches Marines Constanta Abstract The paper analyses the results of the observations carried out on sea water currents in the area of Danube months in 1977-1980, in the period of high river discharge (in spring) and low river discharge (in autumn). Two typical situations of sea water circulation in the area are given, a southward and a northward one, as well as their resulting influence on sea water salinity regime.
