title: Observations of Near-Inertial Internal Waves over the Continental Slope in the Northeastern Black Sea
abstract: The article presents observations of near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) in the slope waters of the Black Sea in winter and summer. Rotary spectral analysis of a time series of sea current velocity measurements revealed the prevailing anticyclonic component of the motions near the local inertial frequency f. The clockwise rotation of the velocity vector with depth implies that the NIWs propagate downwards. The amplitude of NIWs usually was 0.1–0.2 m s−1. NIWs were observed in the layer of the pe
