Abstract
The results of 1991–1994 basin-wide investigations have been analysed using the method of spatial isopycnal analysis. Seasonal and interannual variations of phosphates, nitrates, dissolved oxygen and the suboxic zoneare revised. The range and possible reasons of spatial and temporal variations in the density-dependent vertical profiles of nutrients and oxygen in the layer of the main pycnocline, in the thickness and the position of suboxic zone of the Black Sea are discussed.
