Abstract
Analysing the values of thermohaline parameters: temperature, salinity and density of sea-water, in north-western part of the Vis Channel new cognitions have been reached at about thermohaline characteristics of sea-water in that area. It has been established that the mean annual temperature of surface layer of sea-water is higher then the air temperature, as well as the mean monthly temperature of water column, which is the highest one in November. Some unusual conditions have been noted, such as vertical thermal inversions, the occurrence of under-surface minimum of salinity, as well as some usual conditions of extreme values of density which have been shown in relation to extreme thermal and salinity values, that have shown an indirect dependence.
