Abstract/ Foreword

Sulina channel is one of the three arms of the Danube, through which the river outflows into the Black Sea. At the same time, this is an important navigation waterway, since it is the main entrance from the Black Sea in the seventh Pan-European transportation corridor, represented by the Maine-Rhine-Danube navigation system. Hence, high navigation traffic is noticed, which was significantly increased in the last years. On the other hand, this area often faces severe weather conditions with high gradients in the environmental matrix that may generate various incidents and even navigation hazards. From this perspective, the objective of the present work is to analyze some recent measurements of the main hydro-meteorological parameters and to compare the results with those coming from some previous analyses based on longer period’s both measurements and historical data. The main parameters analyzed are: water level, wind speed, and wind direction. The time interval of the measurements is the ten-year period 2015-2024. In this way, a better perspective is provided concerning the recent dynamics of the environmental matrix in a very sensitive area from the point of view of the navigation conditions.
