Until the end of twentieth century, deep currents of the Black Sea were rather poor studied. Even the question of whether the deep-water circulation is cyclonic, like the Rim Current in the surface layer of the sea, or anticyclonic was controversial. In this article, the latest data on the features of the Black Sea deep currents are summarized. Difficulties in studying the Black Sea currents, important results of recent years, and prospects for deep-water circulation research are discussed. It is shown that a comprehensive analysis of numerical simulations using advanced models of ocean dynamics and field observation data makes it possible to evaluate the main features of the deep-water circulation structure, such us anticyclonic undercurrents and mesoscale eddies. Possible directions for refining the existing results and further investigations of the Black Sea deep-water circulation are proposed. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
