Abstract:	The measurements of seawater thermal-salinity structure were carried out during seven upwelling events along the northern seaside of the Hel Peninsula (the southern Baltic Sea) between 2000 and 2002 in the warmer period of the year, from the mid of April till the mid of October. Temperature was characterized by the most pronounced spatial differences, especially in summer (up to ca. 14 °C). The complex pattern of water hydrological structure was undoubtedly affected by simultaneous influence of three water types. Two of them were cold waters upwelled to the sea surface from deeper sea layers. They differ in salinity. The third type represented warmer coastal waters occurring usually along the Hel Peninsula. This type was frequently marked by water inflow, probably from the Gulf of Gdańsk.
