Abstract

A numerical three-dimensional nonlinear model of the hydrophysical fields of the Black Sea is presented. The properties of model discrete equations are described. The results of test experiments on the choice of model finite-difference approximations and parameters (as applied to the online forecasting of currents) are given. The results of prognostic calculations of the hydrophysical fields of the Black Sea are given for the period of March 31, 2005, to September 26, 2006. These results show that this numerical model with consideration for real atmospheric forcing can yield a satisfactory forecast of the parameters of the upper layers of the sea for 18 months of model time.
