title: Determination of Location of the Concentration Initial Field of a Possible Contamination Source in the Black Sea Water Area near the Gerakleisky Peninsula Based on the Adjoint Equations Method
abstract: Purpose. The aim of the present article is to study propagation of contamination in the Sevastopol coastal zone using the dynamic model of high spatial discretization and which takes into account actual atmospheric forcing. Location of possible contamination sources is to be calculated and, hence, determined by applying the adjoint equations method using the measurement data assimilation.&#13;\n&#13;\nMethods and Results. The currents’ field was calculated using the three-dimensional baroclinic
