Numerical Experiments on Modeling of the Black Sea Deep Currents
Journal: Physical Oceanography
Year: 2016

Modeling results of the Black Sea deep-water current reconstruction are considered. Computations are provided by applying the nonlinear z-coordinate model developed in Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI). Climatic atmospheric forcing and the atmospheric reanalysis data (ALADIN, Era-Interim) obtained for 2006, 2010 and 2013 are taken into account in different numerical experiments. The Black Sea climatology experiment is performed with a spatial grid step equal to 5 km, and in other experiments
