| Abstract: | By using the results of processing of the instrumental data with high space resolution obtained in September 2008, we analyze
the structure of the Rim Current in the upper 100-m layer near the coast of Crimea. We determine the statistical characteristics
of the mesoscale fluctuations of currents according to the data of 1165 vertical probes. It is shown that the kinetic energy
of intense mesoscale perturbations observed in the vicinity of the Rim Current is of the same order of magnitude as the kinetic
energy of the mean current. |
