“…Samples of these data in Figure 8 shows there was obvious deformation of the feature during the period but that it did not move from its initial reported position. However, this appearance of nontranslation may be due to the slow translation rate of the features (--•2-3 cm/s [Latun, 1990]) and the limited continuous temporal series available for the study. Note also that the Sinop Eddy immediately east of the jet showed vigorous rotation but no eastward translation.…”

Quasi-synoptic hydrographic data and satellite imagery are used to describe the circulation and the structural variability of the Black Sea with particular emphasis on the Turkish coast. The circulation is indicated to involve a variable cyclonic circulation with no apparent central locus and a well-defined cyclonic "Rim Current" containing meanders and interacting eddy fields confined to the shelf slope. Interspersed between the coastal eddies are filaments and intense jets, often with dipole eddies at their termina. The extension of these features across the shelf-slope into the central basin offshore waters implies important dynamical processes related to the shelf-deep basin exchanges. These features are often steered by the topography and evolve continuously through the mixed baroclinic-barotropic instability of the Rim Current.

“…Relatively few hydrographic data in the literature indicate that the basin circulation is not as simple as these early analyses show. These few, however, show a sea with mesoscale features with much shorter spatial scales of the order of the internal Rossby radius of deformation (20-25 km) [e.g., Fashchuk and/lyzatuttin, 1986;Latun, 1990].…”

“…max R and lim ν parameters are chosen on the basis of a comparison of identification results with the existing data on eddy dimensions and velocity in the Black Sea. At all horizons max R was set as equal to 80 km, which corresponds to the data on the maximum eddy dimensions in the Black Sea from [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. lim ν minimum velocity changed vertically.…”

A new method of three-dimensional identification of mesoscale eddies based on the results of the Black Sea hydrodynamics modeling is applied. It is based on identification of the closed streamlines in the velocity fields. This method and the data resulted from the NEMO calculations for [2005][2006][2007][2008] are used to identify more than 1000 mesoscale eddies in the basin. The results permit to define eddy characteristic trajectories, calculate spatial variability of their velocities and radii and frequency of detection of cyclones and anticyclones. The obtained results are in good agreement with the earlier published studies of the eddy characteristics derived from satellite and in situ data. The modeling results permit to investigate the features of vertical distribution of eddy characteristics. The eddies are most often detected in the 0-150 m layer (the highest detection frequency F is within 20-50 m). In the 150-300 m layer this value is two times smaller, but still is substantial. Below 300 meters F quickly decreases with depth. The analogous distribution is characteristic of the eddy radii and orbital velocity: the highest values are observed in the upper 0-150 m layer, and in the lower layers they sharply decrease with depth. The analysis of seasonal variability of the eddy characteristics shows that the anticyclonic dynamics intensifies in summer, whereas the cyclonic one -in winter, that is consistent with the previous studies. The developed method provides additional opportunities for investigating the features of the eddy generation and evolution in the Black Sea.

“…The main feature of the large‐scale circulation of the Black Sea is the cyclonic Rim Current (Ivanov & Belokopytov, 2013), which round the basin along its periphery. Large mesoscale anticyclones with a radius of 20–80 km are often formed on the continental slope of the basin (Ginzburg et al., 2000; Kubryakov & Stanichny, 2015b; Latun, 1990; Oguz et al., 1993; Zatsepin et al., 2003). Such eddies are clearly visible in Figure 1b, as the large areas with high negative values of OW.…”
