Tidal waters are a decisive factor in determining the movements of water, whereas surface circulation is determined by winds, when the wind speed is higher than 4 m/s. The maximum values and directions of the surface drift current depend exclusively upon the actually prevailing wind field. The current speeds may reach the order of magnitude up to 100 cm/s. This flow lies above the two-phase system of currents generated by tides. The value of the currents produced by tides may reach up to ~50 cm/s. The direction of the current flow is not always in line with the corresponding of the tide. This is due probably to the irregularity and asymmetry of the tide and great inertis of the water masses.}, type={Article}, title={Currents circulation in the waters of Admiralty Bay (region of Arctowski Station on King George Island)}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111595/PDF-MASTER/1980_1_055-074.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, current circulation}, }
