Abstract
The study of the water structure in the zone of the Rim Current in October and in November-December 2016 is presented using data of the 89th and 91st cruises of the R/V «Professor Vodyanitsky». It is shown that the main regularities of the seasonal cycle, revealed in climatic fields, are reflected in the differences between the actual distributions of hydrological parameters according data of two surveys. Synoptic variability is mainly manifested in the differences in the spatial structure of hydrological fields between the two surveys. It is shown that these differences are caused by the Rim Current meandering and the formation of anticyclonic and cyclonic vortices.
