Advances in Monitoring Black Sea Dynamics: A New Multidecadal High-Resolution Reanalysis
Year: 2025

Abstract. The Black Sea regional reanalysis serves as an essential tool for understanding the Black Sea’s response to climate variability and advancing regional ocean monitoring efforts. In particular, the Black Sea reanalysis (BLK-REA) is built with high spatial resolution, 1/40° horizontal grid and incorporating 121 vertical levels. The model implementation includes lateral open boundary conditions (LOBC) at the Marmara Sea, allowing more accurate inflow/outflow dynamics through the Bosphorus
