Abstract Hydrophysical fields which are continuous in time and space are reconstructed in the coastal zone of the Black Sea (near the coast of Western Crimea and the region of Sevastopol) by a three-dimensional nonlinear hydrodynamic model with assimilation of observational data of the 2007 hydrological survey. A sequential optimal interpolation of temperature and salinity observations is used as the assimilation procedure. We use real atmospheric forcing and a high resolution (a horizontal grid
