Based on direct field measurements of pCO 2 and TCO 2 carried out in 2010-2014 in the Black Sea coastal waters, dynamics of inorganic carbon on different time scales is considered. It is shown that the highest variability of both parameters on a small time scale is observed during the seawater spring warming resulting from the upwelling impact. The diurnal variations of the pCO 2 and TCO 2 values (in course of the analogous period) demonstrate no pronounced tendencies; they are characterized by
