Аннотация:Eddy movements of water masses along the shores of the Caspian Sea were discovered in photographs taken from U.S. and Russian spacecraft. Possible causes for the onset of rotary motions of the waters were analyzed. The most important conditions for stability disruption of the main littoral flow are regional surface wind flow, bathymetry, and specific features of the coastal topography. Other destabilizing factors include internal waves and littoral upwelling, which decreases the vertical stability of the nearshore waters by a factor of 7 to 8 in comparison with the open sea.
