Abstract
Estimations of the direction and intensity of longshore sediment transport on the sector of the coastal zone of the Western Crimea from Sevastopol to Yevpatoriya was obtained. It was used the scheme of calculation, designed on the base of the wind-energy method. As the driving force it was used the wind data from JRA reanalysis for the period of 1979–2008. Interannual variability of sediment transport characteristics for the cold and warm periods of year were discussed. Typical and abnormal situations were identified.
