The results of the Black Sea uniform mixed layer (UML) thickness determination were used for investigation of its spatio-temporal variability based on numerical calculations of the monitoring
and forecasting center of the Black Sea (BS MFC). The spatial distribution of the mean and standard deviations of the UML depths in the Black Sea has been studied over the seven-year period.
The time series analysis of UML thickness was performed by their spatial averaging over the Black Sea area for each day of the seven-year period. The principal components of the variability
of the spatio-temporal UML depths field have been studied. The areas of high and low UML depths variability and the frequency-time characteristics of their variations have been determined.
