A simulation model of bottom phytocenosis based on object-oriented approach to marine ecosystems was proposed. Data and methods . The dynamic model of macroalgae growth is based on the system of ordinary differential equations describing the processes of photosynthesis and production of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake, and extraction of organic matter and oxygen into the environment. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), water temperature, a content of nutrients in the water were chosen as the control variables. Results . The model allows an estimation of nitrogen and phosphorus content in algae tissues, rate of photosynthesis, actual parameters of uptake nutrients and extraction of organic matter depending on the control variables. Analytical solutions for the steady state of a system at constant control variables were obtained. Parameterization of photosynthetic and kinetic parameters of seaweed using their de-pendencies of the specific surface of thalli was proposed. The growth of red macroalga Gracilaria biomass over a year was simulated with a preset dynamics of control variables (for the Southern Coast of Crimea). Yearly oxygen production, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake and accumulated quan-tity of these elements in algae tissues were calculated; the volume of organic matter coming to the next trophic level (benthic organisms and finfish) was estimated. The results correspond to the pub-lished observational ecosystem data in the region under study. Discussion and conclusion . The developed model will be used as a separate unit simulating the dynamics of bottom phytocenosis in a three-dimensional object-oriented physical-chemical-biological model of the marine ecosystem. surface of thalli.","PeriodicalId":43550,"journal":{"name":"Physical Oceanography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41684247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tracking of spread of various contaminations and elaboration of the operational systems to control wrecking discharges are among the important tasks of marine environment monitoring. The processes of transport of the contaminating impurity inflowing from different sewers were modeled based on the diagnostic calculations of water circulation in the Sevastopol Bay. Data and Methods. The currents field was calculated using the sigma-coordinate version of the Princeton Ocean Model adapted for the regional conditions in the Sevastopol Bay. To calculate the polluting impurity transport, the model of the matter transfer and diffusion was incorporated into the circulation model. The data on the wind speed and direction obtained at the Sevastopol met office, the temperature, salinity and density climatic fields calculated using the information of 2.7 thousands hydrological stations in the Sevastopol Bay, average seasonal variations of the River Chernaya water discharge and the digital bottom relief with spatial resolution 68 m were used in the model. Analysis of Results. Numerical experiments on the contaminant propagation from the point of possible discharge in the Gollandiya Bay reveal that dependence of the pollutant movement trajectory (direction) upon the pattern of water circulation is most evident in the Yuzhnaya Bay and less manifested in the central part of the Sevastopol Bay. In case of a wrecking discharge in the River Chernaya mouth, a contaminant spot, regardless of wind conditions, moves to the northwest and reaches the Gollandiya Bay. Further evolution of the polluted water volume is similar to the process developing after a sewage discharge directly within the Gollandiya Bay. Discussion and Conclusions. The carried out numerical calculations confirm operatioinal capability of the model and its adequate reproduction of the physical processes under study. It permits both to model the circulation seasonal variation and the thermohaline structure of the Sevastopol Bay waters, and to describe more accurately trajectories of the contaminants’ spread.","PeriodicalId":43550,"journal":{"name":"Physical Oceanography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43335842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Annually for 15 years, the Southern scientific center of RAS carried out sea expeditions in the south of Russia. The year of 2017 was marked as a 10-year anniversary of the first expedition of the R/V Deneb in the Azov and Black seas. During a five-year period from 2012 to 2016, 36 complex expeditions in the Azov and Black seas were carried out by R/V Deneb ; the oceanographic database was enriched with the data of 3500 oceanological stations, more than 11,000 samplings were done at more than 900 complex hydrobiological stations. The expeditionary materials enlarged the oceanographic database of the Southern scientific center: the field and archival data permitted to assess long-term dynamics of organic matter and carbon, the Azov Sea transparency and salinity and to calculate the characteristics of small-scale variability of temperature, salinity, internal waves and level fluctuations in the Azov and Black seas. The research in the Black Sea provided extensive synchronous data which characterize current state of the most vulnerable psammophilic benthic communities at the depths of 2–20 m. The estuaries of small rivers at their junction with the sea were studied in details. The new data on distribution and quantitative characteristics of jelly-like-, phyto- and pico-plankton over the whole shelf area of the Russian sector of the Black Sea is obtained. The Black Sea population of newcomers – Holland crabs (Rhitropanopaeus harrisi tridentate) – living exclusively in the sea canyons with unstable salinity was studied. The metagenomic approaches applied to study the plankton communities in the Azov and Black seas, were used to obtain new data on diversity and structure of marine bacterial communities.

The maximum of the shear average profile is noted in the main pycnocline layer in the vicinity of the buoyancy frequency maximum. The ratio of the shear mean square to the buoyancy frequency mean square increases almost monotonously with depth from 0.1 to 0.4 in the layer 50–350 m that can indicate (at a qualitative level) relative intensification of turbulent vertical mixing in the lower part of the main pycnocline. The mean profiles of the shear vector rotation angle relative to its direction on the horizon 15 m are given. On the average, the shear vector rotates clockwise and makes about two rotations in the main pycnocline layer. The revealed rotation of the shear vector is due to influence of the internal waves propagating downward at the close to inertial frequency. The hodographs of the current velocity shear exhibiting a well-pronounced rotation with depth are shown. Considered is the example of calculating the parameters of a near-inertial internal wave using the current velocity shear and deformation based on the data of one of the stations.","PeriodicalId":43550,"journal":{"name":"Physical Oceanography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42370190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The features of the natural marginal filter of the Don mouth and the runoff waters in the bay are considered. Significant heterogeneity in the field of the considered characteristic (its concentration exceeds the natural standard in the Don mouth) is revealed, that can probably be a consequence of the dissolved organic matter anthropogenic sources, in other words, waste waters from the settlements. The pronounced frontal section, i. e. a natural marginal filter, was revealed in the field of the dissolved organic matter concentration. It was located along the maritime part of the Don River mouth within the narrow shore strip (its width is approximately 0.5–1.0 miles). Across this natural marginal filter, the dissolved organic matter concentration reduced abruptly towards the open sea. Up to 50% of the dissolved organic matter brought to the marine part of the Don mouth remained on the filter. It is revealed that salinity and the dissolved organic matter content in the marginal filter area are closely bound by the backward correlation dependence with the coefficient -0.87. It is shown that the dissolved organic matter concentration in the Taganrog Bay decreases in the area between the marginal filter and the runoff front from 20 to 3 mg/l, and complete transformation of the bay waters saturated with the dissolved organic matter is observed in the runoff front which, in course of the major part of a year, is located at the bay outlet. Seaward off the front external boundary (isohaline 10 PSU), the fields of salinity and dissolved organic matter content are characterized by spatial homogeneity with the 10-13 PSU salinity and the dissolved organic matter concentration 1-3 mg/l which are typical of the Azov Sea open water areas.

Medvedev","doi":"10.22449/0233-7584-2018-6-489-500","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22449/0233-7584-2018-6-489-500","url":null,"abstract":"Based on the long-term observations in the Black Sea, the features of spatial distribution of the sea level oscillations’ variance in five different frequency ranges were studied. The series of the hourly sea level observations carried out at 23 coastal tide gauges were used to analyze mesoscale and synoptic variability. To assess seasonal and inter-annual sea level variability, long-term monthly average level values obtained at the stations of Varna, Ust-Dunaisk, Odessa, Sevastopol, Tuapse, Poti, and Batumi were used. The hourly observations permitted to calculate the sea level spectra for the periods 2 hours – 70 days, and the monthly average sea level values – the spectra for the periods 70 days – 10 years. Formation of the Black Sea level oscillations’ spectrum was analyzed in a wide frequency range. For each of five chosen ranges of frequency variability, its contribution to the total energy of non-tidal sea level variations was quantitatively assessed. Variance of inter-annual sea level oscillations in the Black Sea is relatively homogenous and is within 28 to 37 cm 2 . The range of seasonal sea level oscillations is wider: 16–37 cm 2 . The intra-annual sea level oscillations differ significantly depending on the region: the smallest values are recorded in Sevastopol – 20 cm 2 , the largest ones – in Poti and Kasperovka – up to 35 cm 2 . In general, synoptic and mesoscale sea level oscillations testify to substantial inhomogeneity in the variance distribution over the water area. The highest values resulting from the surface wind effect are observed in the shallow northwestern part of the Black Sea. At the stations of the Caucasian coast of the Black Sea (Tuapse, Poti, Batumi) and near the Crimean coast (Sevastopol), variance of the seasonal and intra-annual sea level oscillations exceeds that of the synoptic ones by about 1.5–2 times, whereas in the Black Sea northwestern part, the greatest contribution to the total sea level variance is made by the synoptic component.
