Abstract:

According to the long-term (1963–2000) observational data on depth of the Secchi Disk visibility, the main peculiarities of the annual cycle of transparency distribution in the surface water layer of the north-western Black Sea are considered. The statistical estimates of the seasonal variations in the areas differing in the degree of influence of river and open-sea water flow on their hydrophysical parameters are derived. Intra-annual transparency variations in these areas are in a good agreement with the intra-annual variations in phytoplankton biomass and water salinity. It is shown that long-term (1950–2013) intra-annual seasonal transparency variations (according to the data measured and reconstructed by means of a neural network model) show a satisfactory agreement with the intra-annual variations in the hydrobiological parameters. The dependences of the variations in these parameters on the regional meteorological conditions within El Niño – Southern Oscillation period and within the period of its absence are studied.

Keywords:
