A four-dimensional and energy analysis of hydrophysical fields in the limited area of the Black Sea was carried out on the basis of assimilation of hydrological data in the numerical model (autumn–winter season of 2016). The Rim Current was clearly reconstructed. Multi-scale eddies could be generated between the shore and the Rim Current during some weakening of the wind forcing. Cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies were noticed in the western area, they could merge into larger one during the further calculation. The most energetically significant components in the kinetic and potential energy budget equations were found and analyzed from 15th of November to 5th of December, 2016. Possible mechanisms of circulation features of the Black Sea were determined, analyzing of energy fields (for example, baroclinic and/or barotropic instability). The obtained results were compared with all available data of instrumental measurements.
