National and International programs

The main scientific department of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute is fully guided by the solution of problems on ocean physics, development of new methods and means for the World Ocean study. The Institute incorporates the departments of turbulence, applied hydrophysics, nuclear hydrophysics, optics and biophysics of sea, oceanography, ocean-atmosphere interaction, shelf hydrophysics, contact methods of investigations, remote methods of investigations, dynamics of oceanic processes, wave theory, dynamic and stochastic ocean modelling, experimental hydrophysics, complex methods of investigation of hydrophysical fields.

Many investigations on the World Ocean were conducted within the framework of international and national programs, such as:
Programs of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO - in particular - GOOS, Black Sea GOOS (Regional system of oceanographic observations and services for the Black Sea), Black Sea Fluxes (Geochemical and sedimentation fluxes in the Black Sea ecosystem) and GODAR.
Oceanographic projects of the NATO Science for Peace Program (Black Sea Ecosystem, Processes, Prediction and Operational Data Management),
Programs of International Co-operation (Ukraine-Russia, Ukraine-Israel, Ukraine-Greece, Ukraine-Bulgaria, Ukraine-Sweden);
International contract (Development of regional resources and communications for the modernization of control systems and forecast state of the Black Sea),.
Program of Fundamental & Applied Research in Marine Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine;
Scientific foundations of developing mineral-raw materials base of Ukraine;
National Space Program of the National Space Agency of Ukraine;
Climatic Program of Ukraine;
Program of the Ministry of Ecological resources of Ukraine on re-equipment of the hydrometeorological observational network.
