Abstract

The objective of the present work is to provide a better understanding of the current patterns in the North-Western part of the Black Sea basin. This is made considering satellite data that contain gridded current fields with daily measurements at the sea surface. In this matter, the current data were analyzed in 16 reference points for a period of 18 years (1992-2010). Statistical analyses concerning the current variation in time, both as regards their velocities and directions are presented for the considered reference points.
