The article presents the possibilities of using the data from the SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager) high-resolution scanner to study the variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the coastal zone using the example of the area of the Southern Coast of Crimea. Based on integrated use of data from contact observations made on the basis of the Black Sea Hydrophysical Polygon of Marine Hydrophysical Institute (Katsiveli) and satellite data, an analysis of interannual variability of SST for 2005–2017 was performed. It was determined that 2010 was the warmest year in the considered thirteen-year time interval, both according to satellite and contact data. On the contrary, 2006 and 2011 were identified as the coldest in terms of SST, not only for the region of the Southern Coast of Crimea, but also for the entire Black Sea. Events of complete coastal upwellings were also highlighted and analyzed. According to contact information, 26 cases of complete upwelling were recorded in the warm season (May – October) for the period 2013–2017. Analysis of these events showed that SEVIRI data also demonstrated visible SST decreases during those periods. It should be noted that the value of SST amplitude derived from satellite data is often insufficient for temperature decrease events to be identified as upwelling situations.
