Tóm tắt

Periodical surface currents with the periods of 46.5, 61, and 91 days detected from the satellite data in the Tatar Strait and Sakhalin Bay are presented as an effect of the Amur River runoff transformation in the estuary. The estuary transforms the flow as a flip-flop directing the Amur runoff by turns to the Sea of Japan or to the Sea of Okhotsk. The flip-flop period is six months. From May 23 to November 10, the Amur River flows into the Sea of Okhotsk and from November 10 to May 25, into the Sea of Japan.
