Magnitudes of storm surge fluctuations of the Azov Sea level occurring in this region during extreme winds and called "chernomorka" (reverse surface wind) are studied. These phenomena constitute a reason of floods in the coastal regions of the sea and the Taganrog Bay. Having been analyzed, the simulation results and the observation data of the sea level regime show their good compliance for the periods of strong storm cyclones moving from the northeast of the Black Sea. Interrelation between th
