ABSTRACT
The examined phenomenon has one year period and influences on size of clear water areas of
the world ocean. This one occurs in the subtropical zones of oceans on a large scale. The
essence of one consists in a considerable increasing of areas of clear water in summer in
comparison with winter in the northern hemisphere. There is the same process with shift in
half a year in the southern hemisphere. The examples of historical retrospective by
Interkosmos21
MKS-BSand Nimbus7
CZCS data, and recent products by OrbView2
SeaWiFS are presented. The differences and features of clear water areas are considered in
detail for five sites: North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, and Indian
Ocean. The executed investigation has the significant consequence to be useful for control
over the global changes of the Earth's biosphere.
