The tsunami hazard in the Black Sea is discussed by comparing historical, instrumental data and numerical results. There are 22 tsunami events in the Black Sea documented since the first century, and nine of them have occurred in twentieth century. The numerical simulations of tsunami propagation for the 1966 and 1939 events are performed by using the framework of the shallow-water theory. The instrumental data from tide gauge records are used to compare and validate the simulation results and estimate the wave motion at other locations where the instrumental data are unavailable. The distribution of maximum positive tsunami amplitudes along the north and south coasts are obtained for each event. The arrival time, tsunami amplitudes, and directivity of tsunamis in the Black Sea are studied. The probable source and target areas of tsunamis are discussed.

Advantages of fine resolution SSTs for small ocean basins: Evaluation in the Black Sea
Kara, A. B.; Barron, C. N.; Wallcraft, A. J.; Oguz, T.; Casey, K. S. (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2008-08-07)
This paper examines monthly variability of climatological mean sea surface temperature (SST) in the Black Sea. A total of eight products, including observation-and model-based SST climatologies, are formed and compared with each other. Some of the observation-based SST data sets include only satellite measurements, while others combine in situ temperatures, such as those from moored and drifter buoys, with satellite data. Climatologies for numerical weather prediction (NWP) model-based data sets are formed ...
Tsunami Hazard Assessment on the Egyptian Coast of the Mediterranean
Zaytsev, A. I.; Babeyko, A. Yu.; Kurkin, A. A.; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Pelinovsky, E. N. (Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2019-09-01)
Tsunami forecast possibilities for areas with a small base of historical tsunamis have been discussed using the Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) method, which is based on a statistical analysis of a sufficiently large number of real and predictive earthquakes with a subsequent calculation of possible tsunami waves. This method has been used for a long-term tsunami hazard assessment on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. The predicted wave heights have been shown to vary along the coastline due t...
THE UPPER LAYER CIRCULATION OF THE BLACK-SEA - ITS VARIABILITY AS INFERRED FROM HYDROGRAPHIC AND SATELLITE-OBSERVATIONS
OGUZ, T; LAVIOLETTE, PE; UNLUATA, U (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1992-08-15)
Quasi-synoptic hydrographic data and satellite imagery are used to describe the circulation and the structural variability of the Black Sea with particular emphasis on the Turkish coast. The circulation is indicated to involve a variable cyclonic circulation with no apparent central locus and a well-defined cyclonic "Rim Current" containing meanders and interacting eddy fields confined to the shelf slope. Interspersed between the coastal eddies are filaments and intense jets, often with dipole eddies at the...
Simulation of annual plankton productivity cycle in the Black Sea by a one-dimensional physical-biological model
Oğuz, Temel; Ducklow, H; MalanotteRizzoli, P; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Nezlin, NP; Ünlüata, Ü (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1996-07-15)
The annual cycle of the plankton dynamics in the central Black Sea is studied by a one-dimensional vertically resolved physical-biological upper ocean model, coupled with the Mellor-Yamada level 2.5 turbulence closure scheme. The biological model involves interactions between the inorganic nitrogen (nitrate, ammonium), phytoplankton and herbivorous zooplankton biomasses, and detritus. Given a knowledge of physical forcing, the model simulates main observed seasonal and vertical characteristic features, in p...
Salt tectonics as a self-organizing process: A reaction, transport, and mechanics model
Tuncay, Kağan (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2001-01-10)
Salt tectonics is placed within the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. Features such as waves, diapirs, and tears are viewed as natural consequences of the symmetry breaking instabilities and related self-organized dynamics of the deforming salt body coupled to the reaction, transport, and mechanics of the surrounding sediments. The fundamental nonlinearities are in the surrounding-rock and salt rheology. Our findings are based on a coupled RTM model simulated using finite element techniques. The center...
