Modelling Climate Variability of Selected Shelf Seas

Abstract

In this chapter we shall focus our attention to several shelf seas, the characteristics and variability of each of them are very different from others: the North Sea and the White Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. Each of these four seas has its own peculiarities.

For the North Sea the validity of simple oceanic balances are tested against high resolving numerical modelling. The decisive factors of the White Sea dynamics are strong tidal processes. A large section of this chapter is devoted to modelling seasonal variability of the Caspian Sea, the largest enclosed water body on the Earth. The sea surface heat flux components undergo very strong seasonal variations following the surrounding continental climate. Seasonal variations of the Black Sea thermo-hydrodynamical characteristics are described in the last and the largest section. Models and numerical methods describe the seasonal variability of the Black Sea internal physical characteristics as Cold Intermediate Layer, transformation of the effect of river fresh water discharge, as well as water exchange with theMediterranean Sea. A new four-dimensional analysis-double-correction method of data assimilation is presented. We consider this type of model-data synthesis to be one of the most perspective ways for understanding the ocean/sea long-term variability.
