Two hydrological surveys carried out in the northern Black Sea in summer 2016 and 2017 are processed with a hydrodynamic model that also assimilates observational data, which made it possible to more accurately describe the meso- and submesoscale features of hydrophysical fields and determine their possible formation mechanisms. High spatial resolution (horizontal grid of ~1.6 × 1.6 km and 27 vertical horizons) and ERA5 atmospheric forcing is used in calculations. The energy terms in the equatio
