Abstract Satellite Environment Control of the Baltic Sea (SatBałtyk), was recommended for financing from the European Commission funds, as a result of the competition for "research" announced by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education research for building a knowledge-based economy. This competition was announced under the Innovative Economy Operational Program (priority 1: Research and development of modern technologies, sub-measure 1.1.2). In order to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of this project, the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IO PAN) invited research teams of the Institute of Oceanography of the University of Gdańsk (IO UG), the Institute of Physics of the Pomeranian University in Słupsk (IF AP) and the Institute of Marine Sciences of the University of Szczecin (INoM). US), already cooperating within the Scientific Network creating the scientific basis for satellite monitoring of the Baltic environment. As a result, on February 14, 2010 in Sopot, an agreement was concluded to create the SatBałtyk Scientific Consortium, between the University of Gdańsk, the Pomeranian Academy in Słupsk, the University of Szczecin and the Institute of Oceanology PAS, signed by the Rectors of these universities and the Director of the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The main goal of the SatBałtyk project is to prepare and launch the technical base and practical operational procedures, enabling efficient, routine determination of the states of the Baltic environment, i.e. creating maps of its structural and functional characteristics, including the inflow and energy characteristics (PAR 1, UV 2 ), temperature distribution, the dynamic state of the sea surface, the concentration of chlorophyll and other phytoplankton pigments, blooms of poisonous algae, the occurrence of upwelling, the appearance of pollution spots, including oil spills, etc. and the production characteristics of primary organic matter. Moreover, development and, if possible, practical use of satellite methods of assessing the ice state of the sea surface is planned. The final effect of the project is to be the launch of an operational system for fast and effective determination of the above-mentioned characteristics of the Baltic in the form of maps of their distribution in the area of ​​this sea. The launched base and procedures will use information streams coming from the available satellite remote sensing systems covering the Baltic region, in particular the area of ​​the Polish economic zone (e.g. TRIOS N / NOAA, Meteosat 9, EOS, AQUA, ENVISAT and others) and information from the developed previously mathematical models of the sea and atmosphere.
