| Zusammenfassung |
| The wind- and buoyancy-driven seasonal circulation of the Caspian Sea
is investigated for a better understanding of its basin-wide and
mesoscale dynamics, mixing and transport. The model successfully
reproduces the following basic elements of the circulation: the
southward-flowing current systems along the eastern and western
coasts, the upwelling along the eastern coast, the cyclonic
circulation in the Middle Caspian Sea (MCS), especially in winter,
and the cyclonic and anticyclonic cells of circulation in the South
Caspian Sea (SCS). The observed seasonal variability of sea level
and sea surface temperature (SST) is well reproduced. Mesoscale
structures, not always evident from hydrographic observations, are
identified. |
