Frequent spills of oil products represent one ofthe most urgent ecological problems of the Baltic Sea. Oil products are most widespread and rather dangerous pollutants of seas and oceans. Oil pollutants are especially dangerous to the Baltic Sea ecosystem where processes of self-cleaning are slower than in warmer waters. The aim of the present work was to analyse possible dispersion pattern of oil products in the South-East Baltic near the Lithuanian coastline based on the measurement data of currents in the Baltic Sea. Data on the direction of currents and wind, as well as on water surface and air temperatures, provided by oceanographic and hydrometeorological stations were used in this work.
