- THE SUBJECT AND METHODS OF RESEARCH: Historical summary of the development of ideas regarding oceanic fronts -- Definitions terminology and criteria -- Classification of frontal zones and fronts of the world ocean -- Modern methods of frontal research -- GENERAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENON: How frequently are fronts encountered in the ocean? -- General background of spatial variability in tempertuare and salinity near the surface of the ocean -- Main physical parameters of frontal zones and interfaces -- On the conditions of frontogenesis in the ocean and in the atmosphere -- The concepts of deformation field and frontogenesis -- On numerical modelling of oceanic frontogenesis -- Problems of general frontal dynamics -- Factors controlling the evolution of fronts -- On the two important functions of Ekman boundary layers -- CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF OCEANIC FRONTS: Eddies and fronts in the ocean -- Peculiarities of coastal upwelling fronts -- Salinity fronts origination from river discharge into coastal areas of the ocean -- Coastal fronts with tidal mixing -- Surface phenomena of a frontal nature -- FRONTS AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE OCEAN: On the multifrontal structure of frontal zones -- Thermohaline finestructure near oceanic fronts -- Characteristic features of the three-dimensional spatial structure of frontal zones (as in the example of the Gulf Stream) -- Cross-frontal transfer -- PROBLEMS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AND THE CONCERNS OF ASSOCIATED DISCIPLINES: Research on the physics of frontal phenomena in the ocean and associated problems of other disciplines.
