Numerical Analysis of the Effect of Speed and Direction of the Duration of Action of the Wind on the Circulation of the Azov Sea Water With and Without Water Exchange Through the Kerch Strait
The influence of the movement of sea water through the Kerch Strait in the extreme deviation level and flow velocity in the Azov Sea caused by the influence of the climatic wind fields using three-dimensional nonlinear model of the general circulation of the ocean at Princeton University (POM). Formation of water flow through the strait due to prolonged action of atmospheric processes of the same type. The peculiarities of water dynamics when changing the intensity and the alternation of the direction of action of the wind. Numerical experiments were performed for two variants of the model basin of the Azov Sea: closed - without the Kerch Strait, and the liquid boundary, located in the Black Sea. The simulation results showed that keeping the Strait leads to a noticeable change in the velocity of steady flows and the level of deviations in wind speeds larger 5 m/s. The most significant impact on the parameters of steady movement has speed wind generating them, and less - keeping water exchange across the strait. Analysis of the trends atmospheric circulation showed that the response generated by its movement through the Strait waters more often seen under the influence of the south-east wind.
