Abstract

The synoptical processes favourable for the sea level as dangerous event at Mariupol port are determined. It is shown that these events are mainly observed at the southern periphery of blocking anticyclone and at the southwest part of cyclone. The link between changes of North Atlantic Oscillation phases and sea-level rise at Mariupol port occurs at synoptical time scales.
