Seasonal and interannual dynamics of bioluminescence field (BF) generated by Dynophyta in the upper 60m depth layer was studied using the data of biophysical monitoring in the coastal zone near Sevastopol lasted from Jan 2009 till Dec 2014. In addition, satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) data and long-term standard measurements at the nearest meteorological station (30 years long) were used. From these datasets pronounced monthly SST anomalies were extracted. SST anomalies were show
