Oceanology Aims and scope

Abstract

The setting and adjustment of three-dimensional hydrodynamic models (regional and local) for the simulation of Black Sea dynamics and submesoscale variability (1–10 km, 10–102 h) of currents at the northeastern shelf are the main goal of the presented work. Preliminary simulation results are in good agreement with observations.
