Abstract

In the paper the current state of the Black Sea pollution by oil products is reviewed. The significant attention is paid to a satellite radar monitoring of the sea surface pollution. The paper contains also short description of the numerical models on simulation and forecasting of oil spill dispersion in the sea environment. Some result on simulation of oil pollution distribution in the Georgian water area based on advection-diffusion equation in conditions of real regional circulation  is presented.
