Seasonal variability of the Caspian Sea three-dimensional circulation, sea level and air-sea interaction

A three-dimensional primitive equation model including sea ice thermodynamics and air-sea interaction is used to study seasonal circulation and water mass variability in the Caspian Sea under the influence of realistic mass, momentum and heat fluxes. River discharges, precipitation, radiation and wi...
