Seasonal dynamics of temperature and salinity at the standard depths is restored for the network of oceanographic stations on southeastern shelf of Sakhalin by the methods of statistical modeling (GIS Sakhalin Shelf) using the data base of ~40 years observations. Spatial fields of temperature and salinity are reconstructed by means of the oceanic model of the University of Bergen. Some new features of the oceanographic regime are revealed. Detailed annual cycles of temperature and salinity are determined for the first time that has allowed to calculate the mean month three-dimensional water circulation for all seasons, including the ice period.
