The thesis is devoted to investigation of the peculiarities of the circulation, vertical thermohaline structure, climatic fronts and regularities of the seasonal variability of the main hydrophysical fields in the Southwest Atlantic and Antarctic adjacent areas. The results are based on the modern climatic hydrological array, archive data set and SST satellite observations. The scheme of the large-scale circulation in the region is defined, the investigated insufficiently fragments of the water circulation in the Antarctic climatic zone are refined. The classification of the vertical thermohaline water structure for layer 0-1500 m was carried out. The scheme of zoning of the under investigation area according to typical temperature and salinity profiles is suggested. The climatic and secondary large-scale fronts are chosen and seasonal variations of its characteristics are estimated. The amplitude-phase characteristic of the seasonal cycle of the temperature, salinity and volumes of the main water masses are analyzed. The seasonal and interannual fluctuations of the sea surface temperature are estimated, using satellite SST-data. The main results would be to find a further application in following applied problems - the navigation support and navigation safety; increase the efficiency of the fishing fleet and effective fish-eries prospecting; the problem of the Antarctic krill, which population is varied negative during the last ten years.
