Abstract
Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI) was carried out the hydro-optical investigation in the east Mediterranean since 1972. These researches consist of the three main stages. During the first stage (1972-1980) the episodic measurements was provided in framework of the main Soviet program of marine research around all over the world, named “World Ocean”. The second stage (1981-1989) of investigations was devoted to developing of the remote sensing methods of hydro-optical oceanographic investigations in frameworks of the national research program “Satellite oceanography”. This stage includes the major part of data. The third stage (1990-1997) of research is characterised as episodic measurements provided in samples taken from sea surface and three special surveys of the Gulf of Izmir, which were done in co-operation with Institute of Marine Research (Izmir, Turkey). Comparative analyses of the hydro-optical parameters for Eastern Mediterranean seas allow to range these seas in order from hydro-optical point of view. This order is Levantine Sea, Ionian Sea, Aegean Sea, and Adriatic Sea.
