Results of the study of water exchange between the Azov and Black seas based on the data of contact measurements in 2019 are presented. Estimates of the scale of the Sea of Azov plume were obtained under conditions of a strong northeasterly wind (9–10 m/s). The results of field measurements confirmed the determining role of wind in water exchange through the Kerch Strait, which made it possible to form statistics on the flow of the Sea of Azov waters into the Black Sea based on wind reanalysis d
