Abstract

Principal regularities of the coastal velocity field formation have been revealed on the basis of processing and analysis of multi-annual measurements of currents at a bold coast. The influence produced by the coastline, the wind force and its spatial-temporal variability, pycnocline, and the general circulation pattern on this field is estimated. The seiche and inertial currents in this region are characterized. Patterns of the transversal upwelling-downwelling circulations are developed for winter and summer.
