Considering scarce available data on the velocity field in the deep layers of the Black Sea, it is important to contribute by deriving the velocity vectors from indirect sources. The Lagrangian velocity vectors of the Black Sea currents on the depths below the main pycnocline are calculated using the data on the trajectories and actual profile depths of the Argo profiling drifters in 2005-2015. The values and directions of the calculated vectors in the layers 350 -600, 600 -800, 800 -1200 and 12
