Based on the analysis of a sequence of optical (MODIS-Aqua / Terra, AVHRR NOAA-18, VIIRS-SNPP, TIRS and OLI Landsat-8, ETM + Landsat-7) and radar (Sentinel-1A, Radarsat-2) satellite images, the evolution of mesoscale anticyclonic vortex with a diameter of about 35 km and associated cyclones (two to four) at its periphery was traced for more than a month and a half (from May 15 to July 7, 2015) in the South-Eastern Baltic. Within about a month the position of the anticyclone varied little (center
