Since 1980 more than 100,000 oceanographic stations have been established in it. However, their distribution in time and location is not uniform and the number of observations significantly decreases with depth. Comparisons of climate products obtained from temperature and salinity data at different periods of time are characterized by significant differences. This can be explained by the fact that many results were obtained from a limited and not always comprehensive information set and by the considerable dependence of the results upon the methods of calculation. As is known, until recently, the inter-annual variability of hydrological parameters was not taken into account when calculating climate products. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate a necessity of taking into account the inter-annual variability of hydrological parameters when calculating climatic products.

Correlation between the depth of the sulfide onset and the density structure of the layer of the main pycnocline is significant for the entire period covered. Correlation coefficients (R) between the depth of the sulfide onset and the position of isopycnal surfaces in the layer of the main pycnocline vary, on average, 0.71-0.88. The average value of density (σ t ) at the depth of sulfide onset, defined as a sulfide concentration equal to 3 µM, is close to 16.17. Oscillations in the average depth of the sulfide onset range over 24 m and indicate that a steady-state trend does not occur. The period of these oscillations may occur over a century timescale. The dataset for the period 1960-1995 has been used to analyze temporal variations in concentrations of sulfide inside the anoxic zone of the Black Sea. The results of isopycnal analysis demonstrate that possible temporal variations in the average position of sulfide onset versus density (σ t ) scale do not exceed 0.15, which is close to the limit of uncertainties for data obtained before 1988. In contrast, a prominent increase in sulfide concentration, as well as nutrient levels, within the anoxic zone is shown and is related to anthropogenic impact.

Two systems: GIS “Hydrometeorology of the Black and Azov Seas” and the Caspian Biodiversity Information System mean for the common functions of treatment of environmental information. Besides they are also able to reveal threats and dangerous phenomena, such as severe storms, freezing, droughts, extreme rises of sea level and biodiversity decline. ...

Research paper thumbnail of Nutrient and phytoplankton trends on the western Black Sea shelf in response to cultural eutrophication and climate changes

Increasing phosphate and nitrate levels and changes in the summer oxygen concentration on the shelf before the mid-1980s corresponded well with the increase in riverine nutrient inputs. At the same time, decreasing silicate levels resulted almost equally from enhanced diatom stripping and trapping of silicate in the numerous dams constructed on the Danube River. The associated decrease in the Si:N ratio caused a shift towards more non-siliceous phytoplankton blooms. A decoupling of winter nutrient levels and summer oxygen concentration on the shelf after the mid-1980s suggests that other sources of inputs, such as regenerated nutrients from shelf sediments and/or upwelling, may have increased substantially. Large variations in the regional climate during the 1980s and 1990s could potentially account for increases from either or both of these sources and the resulting high summer primary production despite decreasing winter nutrients. The seasonal pattern in chl a within the Ukrainian NW shelf is similar to the open Black Sea, with low chl a in summer and high concentrations in cold months. The seasonal chl a variations on the Romanian and Bulgarian shelves also show high concentrations in May/June, most likely related to the Danube River maximum discharge during spring. As a result, chl a annual means in these two regions are significantly higher than e in the Ukrainian NW shelf.
