Purpose. The work is aimed at studying the response of the Black Sea upper layer to the intrusion of cold air in January 23-25, 2010. Methods and Results. The NOW coupled mesoscale sea - atmosphere model with the 1 km resolution was used to study the sea fields numerically. The change in sea surface temperature in January 23-25, 2010 resulted from the cold intrusion was reproduced. The basic factors which had influenced the change in the upper layer temperature, namely horizontal advection, cooling of the sea surface due to the sensible and latent heat fluxes and the impact of vertical turbulent mixing were considered and quantitatively assessed. The main changes that took place in the cold intermediate layer were investigated.
Conclusions. The change in vertical distribution of the monthly average temperature, salinity and density is considered based on the Copernicus reanalysis data for 2009-2010...
