Based on data of the three-channel hyperspectrometer designed for remote passive optical observations from a moving vessel at a frequency of 1 Hz, a distribution of areas of increased turbidity in the Kerch Strait was obtained. Comparison of these results with the analysis of temperature, salinity, and direction of water flow in depth measured at the stations, as well as with the flow system data made it possible to attribute various areas of the strait to the Azov Sea or the Black Sea water mas
