In order to understand of the processes controlling phytoplankton successions in the NE
Black Sea, long-term data series are needed. We compiled 15 years (2002–2017) of …

The annual succession of phytoplankton of the open waters of the Black Sea was
investigated on the basis of a database covering the 30-year period from 1985 to 2014 …

Purpose. Spatio-temporal variability of the mixed layer depth (MLD) in different areas of the
Black Sea in 1985-2017, its relationship with basin dynamics and atmospheric forcing are …

Bio-Argo measurements of the backscattering coefficient (bbp) were used to investigate the
time-depth evolution of coccolithophore blooms in the Black Sea. Five years of Bio-Argo …

Abstract The Black Sea is characterized by powerful summer coccolithophore blooms with
strong interannual variability. In this paper, we used satellite and Bio-Argo measurements to …

Chlorophyll a (Chl a) observations from satellites exhibit a unimodal seasonal variation in
the open Black Sea that peaks during winter, which has led to the hypothesis that …

The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) is a well-known feature of the global ocean.
However, its description and the study of its formation are a challenge, especially in the …

The dynamics of the autumn development of phytoplankton in the Black Sea were
investigated using satellite-derived chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl), which was estimated …

Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are finding new applications in highly loaded
marine structures such as tidal turbine blades and marine propellers. Such applications …

Vertical entrainment of nutrients and phytoplankton from the subsurface layers in autumn-
winter is a cause of the surface phytoplankton bloom in the Black Sea in winter. Relationship …
