N2 - This article studies the mesoscale dynamics of the waters of the Scotia Sea, located at the northern tip of the Southern Ocean on its border with the Southern Atlantic Ocean. The Scotia Sea is one of the most promising fishing areas where the industrial catch of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is produced. Since the distribution of commercial krill accumulations is largely determined by oceanological conditions, this paper analyzes mesoscale vortex dynamics, frontal zones, and topography in the Scotia Sea, affecting the creation of favorable oceanological conditions for the formation of commercial krill accumulations. The study is conducted using satellite and model data. It is shown that the distribution of sea level according to the GLORYS12v1 reanalysis data in the Scotia Sea has a zonal character. In winter and spring, sea level anomalies are positive (up to 20 cm), and in summer and autumn, they are negative (up to -180 cm). In the northwestern part of the Scotia Sea, according to the data of the GLORYS12v1 reanalysis for 1993-2020, thermal frontal zones with high repeatability (> 80%) are distinguished. Dynamic frontal zones are also distinguished in the northwestern part of the water area and have a repeatability reaching 100%. This area in the Scotia Sea is the most dynamically active: increased kinetic energy values are observed here. The increased dynamic activity in the northwestern part of the Scotia Sea, considered above by the average and average seasonal distributions of characteristics, is also confirmed in the synoptic range of periods. Spatial distributions of long-lived mesoscale vortices according to META 3.2 data for 1993-2021 show the localization areas of these vortices, with cyclones forming significantly more than anticyclones. Analysis of the trajectories of these vortices showed that the direction of their propagation is mainly eastern. The intense vortex dynamics in the Scotia Sea is also confirmed by reconstructed altimetric data for 1970-1992.
