Abstract

The technique of recovery and algorithm for assimilation of daily three-dimensional fields of temperature and salinity, which will use in the system of diagnosis and prediction of the Black Sea state, is proposed. To restore the three-dimensional fields the hydrological measurements of Argo buoys and an array of AVISO sea level anomalies for 2012 were used. The assimilation of the temperature and salinity fields is allowed to reproduce the average stratification of the basin waters more qualitatively. The statistical parameters of the accuracy of the restored fields of temperature and salinity are estimated.
