Abstract

Variations in Caspian Sea level are examined by using its water balance equation. Two important problems of modern hydrology are solved. The first problem consists in determining the transition probabilities from a fixed sea level to its upper (lower) equilibrium level, and the second problem involves the determination of the appropriate transition times. Detail solutions of both problems are given.
