BLACKSEA_CH05_Product_2 / Regional sea level time series and trend for 11 sub-regions for the past 10 years (2006-2015)

The product has been done by P.P.Shirshov Institute of oceanology RAS (SIO-RAS). They used multimission altimeter satellite gridded Sea Level Anomalies data available at https://aviso-data-center.cnes.fr and Copernicus. Sub-regions were selected so that to cover a range of hydrodynamic conditions in the Black Sea: shallow shelf areas (1, 9); dynamically inactive central deep-water areas (10, 11); dynamically active (including meandering, jets and eddies formation processes) zone associated with the intensive circular current (Rim Current) and attached to the continental slope (2, 3, 5, 7, 8); persistent Batumi (4) and Sevastopol (6) anticyclonic gyres.
