Journal: Doklady Earth Sciences
Year: 2022

The results of instrumental measurements of the thermohaline structure and currents in the areas where fresh river waters (Taganrog Bay and Temryuk Bay) and the Black Sea waters (Kerch Strait) mixed with the waters of the Sea of Azov during the period 2018–2021 are presented. A preliminary classification of the currents of the Taganrog Bay and the Kerch Strait has been constructed on the basis of data on the water exchange. The highest velocities of currents in the Kerch Strait were recorded und
