This paper analyses and discusses the monthly and annual changes of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations from main sewage discharge ports in Xiangshan Bay. Using monitoring data obtained from 2010 to 2019, it systematically examines the monthly variation characteristics of the sewage discharge ports and the interannual changes in the fluxes of major pollutants into the sea. The concentrations of COD, TN, and TP, which were relatively high in November and January-March, generally declined. The annual and monthly changes fluctuated, but the flux into the sea generally decreased. The ecological environment of the nearby sea area is adversely affected, chiefly by land-based pollutants. During the five-year period, COD mainly came from soil erosion and domestic pollution, while TN and TP mainly came from agricultural activities and soil erosion. Hence, it is both necessary and urgent to improve the management of the sewage outfalls from land sources into the sea.

Sea Surface Temperature (SST) maps derived from NOAA weather satellites for the period 1990-2004 were used to investigate seasonal and inter-annual variations in the Baltic Sea. A comparison between monthly mean SST and in situ measurements at the MARNET station "Arkona Sea" showed good agreement with differences in July and August. Monthly means reflect strong seasonal and inter-annual variations. The yearly means show a slight positive trend with an increase of 0.8 K in 15 years. In particular, summer and autumn months contribute to this positive trend, with stronger trends in the northern than in the southern Baltic. The winters are characterised by a slightly negative trend. The winter minimum SST in the Arkona Sea correlates best with the WIBIX climate index derived for the Baltic region.
