Abstract
The impact of the wind-driven upwelling and the Amur River discharge on the thermohaline water structure off the northeastern coast of Sakhalin was analyzed using hydrographic data аnd satellite information on the sea surface temperature distribution. The interaction of upwelling water and the coastal current depends on wind conditions and the Amur river runoff. Coastal upwelling develops at relatively low river runoff values (summer low water). The increase in the Amur River discharge during the summer flood enhances the interaction of the upwelling and the coastal buoyancy current. The Amur river runoff flows directly along the shore, which tears cold upwelling water off the coast. The advection of the cold upwelling water from the coast towards the open sea increases with the consecutive alternation of upwelling and downwelling events.
