Hydrooptical fields formation in the Kerch Strait

Abstract

Total suspended and dissolved organic matters distribution in the Kerch strait as well as the factors they are formed by are considered. It is revealed that water circulation is caused by the wind regime and surges influence, the meridional winds are the most significant ones that determine the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov water masses transportation. The pollution sources’ location for the Kerch strait waters determine the hydrooptical fields formation and their transformation.
