“…We calculated changes in salinity in the layers of 0-5 m and 6-35 m within the period of 2013-2018 by using the data measured in our field studies. The results presented in Figure 10 also show the pronounced decreases in salinity in 2014 and 2017, and its highest values were observed in 2018 (our values for the layer of 0-5 m in 2013 are in good agreement with Reference [22]). It is seen from Table 2 and Figure 9 in the previous section that, in 2018, the salinity in the upper 5-m layer in the shelf zone was even higher than in 2013-about 17.8 psu (in 2017, it was slightly higher than in 2011).…”

“…These values were obtained from data of the ERA-Interim reanalysis archive (European Interim Reanalysis), using the ECMWF model (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts). According to the results obtained in [22], high salinity values in June 2013 are primarily associated with precipitation or, rather, their absence; in 2013, the total precipitation at the beginning of May was 1.5 times less than in 2010-2011 (214 mm), and this trend continued in June. According to Reference [22], the effect of wind variability on surface salinity was not noticeable; however, generally speaking, this effect can be significant, since its impact is proportional to the third power of wind speed.…”

“…Measurements were carried out on samples taken from different horizons at drift stations. The stations were located at depths of 25-100 m in the shallow-water part and 500-1500 m in the deep-water part ( Figure 1b); for more details, see Reference [22].…”

“…Variability of salinity in the upper layer in Gelendzhik region of the Black Sea during the warm season in 2010-2013 was studied, together with analysis of coastal precipitation and wind forcing, by Podymov and Zatsepin [22]. They demonstrated the pronounced anomalies in salinity in the layer of 0-5 m, especially in June 2011 when the salinity values in the deep part of the region decreased below 16 psu as compared with about 17.7 psu in June 2013.…”

Data on the light absorption by seawater and its components are needed in many theoretical and practical aspects of marine science and engineering. However, up to now, there is a lack of such data for the northeastern part of the Black Sea. This article presents the data on light absorption measured by a portable integrated cavity absorption meter (ICAM) spectrophotometer in the Gelendzhik region of the Black Sea during field studies in June 2017 and 2018, together with other bio-optical and oceanographic data from in situ measurements and satellite observations. In 2018, the elevated values of the colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorption in the surface layer were observed concurrently with high values of salinity, contradicting the idea of river runoff being the main CDOM source. The vertical profiles of salinity differed in 2017 and 2018, especially in shallow waters; in the upper layer, the salinity increased from 17.1 psu in 2017 to 17.8 psu in 2018, while the values of CDOM absorption increased from 0.10 to 0.16 m−1. The analysis of available hydrometeorological data pointed to intensive vertical mixing due to the strong wind forcing as a main factor in increasing values of both salinity and the CDOM absorption in the surface layer in 2018.
