Abstract

This paper discusses the results of a numerical experiment on modelling the seasonal variability of the water circulation and temperature/salinity fields in the Black Sea. A multi-layered quasi-isopycnic model is used based on primitive equations and incorporating the upper mixed layer (UML). It is shown that during springtime warming, relatively cold layers emerge in some areas, due to subduction, from the UML, which then spread virtually over the entire basin and persist until they become absorbed by the rapidly deepening UML during the period of cooling in winter.
