Features of river water distribution in the Sea of Azov are studied and the estimates of river flows' velocities are obtained based on the -coordinate numerical baroclinic model. The model is realized in the grid with 1400 m horizontal resolution. In -coordinate 15 equally spaced levels were used. Time integration was performed with 2 min step. The computational domain consisted of the Azov Sea, the Kerch Strait and the Black Sea north-eastern shelf. It is shown that river flows represent an alo
