Year: 2017

Quasi-periodic features of the inter-annual and inter-decadal spatial-temporal variability of the wind speed absolute value (W) in the Black Sea area are assessed based on a series of 60-100-year-long direct observations performed at eight coastal stations, and also on the reanalysis data obtained from the NDP-048, WDC, NCDC, NCEP/NCAR (1948( -2011( ) and MERRA (1980 Three groups of oscillations with the periods T about 60-90, 20-40 and 3-15 years that present in the W direct data are shown by m
