Seasonal Variability of the Dynamics and Energy Transport in the Black Sea by Simulation Data

This paper presents an assessment of the seasonal variability velocity fields, mean and eddy kinetics, available potential energies, energy conversion rates for basin-scale circulation regimes. The data were obtained through numerical modeling Black Sea 2011 2016. It revealed significant differences in current structure southern central sea parts In 2011, Rim Current was almost continuous cyclonic gyre, while 2016 a system mesoscale anticyclones observed part. kinetic depends more on regime than season year, distribution is predominantly seasonal. both season. winter, transport from via barotropic instability mechanism sustains generation. summer, provided by commensurate contributions baroclinic instability, and, regime, mainly instability.
