Abstract
As a result of numerous measurements (over 17 000) of linear landforms and fractures directions the 4 main directional systems have been revealed, inclining all the linear landforms and fractures: meridional, latitudinal and two diagonal systems (NE and NW), not only on land but also on oceanic bottom. This allows claiming the existan-ce of planetary lineament net in the Earth's crust, connecting linear landforms and fractures.

Abstract
The statistical analysis of the ensemble of system of spatial-temporal fields of wind speed (according to the reanalyzed data) and wave heights (calculated by wind-based hydrodynamic spectral model) in the Baltic Sea for 30 years with sampling interval of 3 hours was executed. It was shown that this ensemble may be approximated by stationary random process of autoregression - sliding average of order (2, 1) which is modulated by periodically correlated random process. The estimates of this approximation's parameters are given.
