Journal: Geographia Technica
Year: 2022

The spatio-temporal features of the surface water thermal regime of the northwestern part of the Black Sea, its bays and estuaries have been studied. Based on the long-term observations, the increase in the air and water temperatures was identified. Since 1894 the mean annual air temperature in Odesa city has increased by at least 2.5 C. Also significant, but somewhat smaller (about 2.0 C), is the increase in the water temperature. The July and August water temperature has the biggest increase.
