In article are analyzed temporary ranks for average monthly air temperature at Cotonou station Kazhekhun (06 В° Nord, 002 В° 23 East) during 10 years (from 1975 to 1984) with every fifteen days discretization of counting in. For same the period are used average monthly temperatures of the ocean surfaces near the capital of the Republic of Benin, Cotonou. Authors calculated correlation coefficients for humidity of air; air temperature; sea surface water temperature. Research of interrelations between sea surface water temperature variations and salinity changes on depth, allow to identify a mesolimnion zone; gives the chance to understand distinctions within a year, concerning lifting of deep waters (upwelling). Also authors carried out calculations of correlation coefficients between monthly bioproduction of a pelagic species of fish (Sardinellamaderensis), as В«the upwelling indicatorВ», with air temperature. In addition in article are represented fields of sea water temperatures and the salinity, received with use of SURFER program.
