Praca charakteryzuje zmiany temperatury powierzchni Morza Barentsa (TPM) zachodzące w okresie 1951–2006. Stwierdzono występowanie słabych, dodatnich i istotnych statystycznie trendów TPM w gridach leżących poza obszarem bezpośredniego oddziaływania ciepłych prądów morskich. Odnotowano słaby i nierównomiernie rozłożony w przestrzeni wzrost temperatury powierzchni morza – silniejszy we wschodniej części Morza Barentsa. W badanym okresie (1951–2006) na obserwowaną zmienność rocznej TPM znacznie silniejszy wpływ wywierają procesy oceaniczne niż zmienność zimowej cyrkulacji atmosferycznej.

The aim of this work was to analyse monthly and annual values of sea surface temperatures of the Barents Sea in the years covering the period from 1951 up to 2006 averaged to chosen grids 2x2° (Fig. 1).The analysis showed that in the course of SST a clearly marked period (1976–1988) of significant decrease in annual values of water temperature was noted, with the minimum observed in 1980 (Fig. 2). This phenomenon is connected with Great Salinity Anomaly.The research showed that the general decrease in annual SST takes place towards north-east and at the same time, following the same direction, the increase in amplitude of inter-annual changes can be observed (Fig. 3). ‘The warm sources of the North Cape Current and West Spitsbergen Current moving away and the transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere are the cause of this situation. This significant drop in annual sea surface temperature in the NE part of the Barents Sea is also influenced by flows of cold and fresh Surface Arctic Waters from the Arctic and Kara seas. There were also great differences observed in the course of annual SST in the western and eastern parts of the examined sea area. (Fig.4). In the eastern part rapid falls in water temperature can be noted by even 0.7°C from year to year. They result from the sea ice spreading and Surface Arctic Waters from the Kara Sea and from the north region of the Barents Sea which cut off the flow of heat from the deeper parts of the sea towards the surface and to the atmosphere.In the examined period weak positive trends in the annual sea surface temperature were observed and they are statistically significant in almost all grids (Tab.1). The strongest trends were noted in the east part of the examined sea area. Positive and statistically significant trends of the monthly SST are observed in summer and autumn in grids located farthest NE.The analysis showed that the influence of winter atmospheric circulation on the temperature of the sea surface is weak or rather moderate (Tab. 2) and that the observed changeability in annual sea surface temperature of the Barents Sea is mainly controlled by oceanic processes.
