Undercurrents in the Northeastern Black Sea Detected on the Basis of Multi-Model Experiments and Observations
Journal: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Year: 2021

Numerical simulation results of the Black Sea circulation obtained by four ocean dynamics models are compared to each other and to in situ data in order to determine the features of the Black Sea deep-water circulation such as deep-water undercurrents. The year 2011 is chosen as the test period due to the availability of deep-sea observations, including ARGO profiles and ADCP current velocities. Validation of the simulation results is based on comparison with the temperature and salinity measure
