Since the 1960s of 20-th century FERHRI has been caring out complex researches of physical properties of waters of the Sea of Okhotsk in the field of hydrological, meteorological and ecological monitoring. 
As a result of generalization of this information there is a creation of E-Manual over the Sea of Okhotsk which is available on website: http://rus.ferhri.ru/okhotsk  (in Russian only).
At the same time, besides the general climatic information on hydrological, meteorological and ecological mode of the Sea of Okhotsk, some results on climatic changes in the region of sea were obtained.
