The paper investigates the seasonal variability of the vertical turbulent exchange coefficient in the upper stratified layer of the Black Sea. The expedition data used in this work containing information on the microstructure of physical fields were obtained in different hydrological seasons covering the northeastern part of the Black Sea in the Prikerchensky area of the shelf slope. The data were collected during cruises of r/v “Professor Vodyanitsky” in 2016–2019 using “Sigma-1” sounding compl
