| Abstract: | We study trapped baroclinic topographic waves in the northwest shelf of the Black Sea for the actual slopes of the bottom
and stratification. The time scales of trapped waves are determined. The space scales of the amplitude of oscillations are
computed. It is shown that the vertical distribution of the amplitude of oscillations is in qualitative agreement with the
experimentally observed distribution. The energy of topographic waves trapped by the sloping bottom is concentrated in the
bottom layer, which agrees with the data of measurements.
