title: Evaluation of the Circulation Patterns in the Black Sea Using Remotely Sensed and &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;in Situ&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; Measurements
abstract: The objective of the present work is to provide an overview of the general circulation features in the Black Sea basin. In order to achieve this, 18 years (1993-2010) of satellite data coming from the Aviso website were analyzed. A description of the general circulation patterns in the Black Sea is first presented.
