Obszary wewnętrznych zatok fiordu Hornsund stanowią zróżnicowane i podlegające dynamicznym zmianom środowisko. Badania nad temperaturą i zasoleniem zatok Hornsundu nie były dotychczas prowadzone systematycznie, ponadto koncentrowały się głównie na centralnej części fiordu. W pracy przedstawiono dane pomiarowe temperatury i zasolenia warstwy wody przydennej z dwóch sezonów letnich (2000 i 2002 r.) dla wybranych zatok przylodowcowych Hornsundu oraz przeprowadzono porównanie uzyskanych wyników. Stwierdzono zaznaczające się w tym okresie silne ocieplenie i wzrost zasolenia wód przydennych. Silne ocieplenie wód przydennych zaznaczyło się również w dłuższej skali czasowej (ostatnie 20-30 lat). Dane zebrano podczas prowadzenia prac związanych z badaniami zgrupowań meiobentosu zasiedlających zatoki fiordu.
The Hornsund fjord is located in the southwest part of Spitsbergen. This part is situated in the area of dynamic changes because of two periodically upcoming flows of water, warm West Spitsbergen current and cold East Spitsbergen current. These currents are changeable by means of their specific activities due to variable flow of some waters to the fjord that occur seasonally as well as in many years time. The changeability of physico-chemical conditions of the fjord waters have been monitored for many years by terms of warm years as well as seasonally. Despite of thorough literature conveying the issue of physico-chemical conditions of Isbjornhamna's waters there is not sufficient pieces of information tackling with some conditions that are in numerous bays in the depth of Hornsund fjord. During the biological research in Hornsund concerning inner bays in July of 2000 and 2002 year the measurement of temperature, salinity and conductivity of bottom layers of water were made. The research included the following bays: Brepollen by the forehead of Horn glacier, Hyrne glacier, Mendelejew glacier, by the eastern side of Treskelen peninsula, Samarinvagen, Adriabukta, Austre Burgerbukta, Gashamna and Isbjornhamna. The conducted analysis were done for the water layers that lie 1 meter over the bottom. The research was being done was that moment of intensive flows of glacier waters. The measurement were repeated in 2002, moreover almost for the same positions. When the research was being conducted the Hornsund fjord was under the influence of warm waters on the surface by West Spitsbergen current, according the analysis of the data of surface waters taken by NOAA-CIRES Climate Diagnostics Centre. As a result of the analysis conducted some great variability of water temperature and salinity for some bays and profiles has been found. For the given positions almost similar values were found by means of two research series (2000 and 2002). The results show indicate to the variability of water layers lied in the given glacier bays. The rise of temperature of bottom waters both in Isbjornhamna and Brepollen that has been noticed during the period of 20-30 years indicates constant warming. The results of various research as well as the conclusions about the long-term lasting warming of the bottom waters available from literature can provide evidence that during the period of 20-30 years there is a change of intensity of West Spitsbergen current. Thus there is a significant change and conversion of water mass filled Hornsund. - Źródło:
