The thesis deals with actual scientific problem - determining of patterns of sea level's dynamics of World Ocean and its regions based on the contribution of different factors in time of the growing anthropogenic impact and climate changes. Special methods of observational data processing were used for evaluation of sea level rising and temporal variability of fluctuations in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and World Oceans for years 1880-2010. It is proved that the maximums of sea level's rising in annual average data are global and owe their origin to regular action of El Ni?o in the Pacific Ocean. The stable relation between sea level's oscillations of the Atlantic, Pacific Oceans and variations of angular velocity of the Earth was discovered and its regional patterns along the ocean's shores were shown. The connection between sea level's changes in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean was estimated for several climatic periods (last one 1981 - 2010), rate of changes was detected and regional differences in the seasonal course were marked. The possibilities of practical implementation of the method of water leveling for data recovery and of seasonal and interannual variability of sea level analysis were demonstrated on the example of Zmeiniy Island and for its using to estimate of water exchange on Northwestern shelf of the Black Sea. Keywords: sea level, seasonal fluctuations, long variability, climate changes, regional patterns, Atlantic, Pacific, World Oceans, Black and Azov Seas.
