abstract: The present paper represents the results of two experiments on numerical modeling (within the framework of the two-layer eddy-resolving model) of the Black Sea large-scale circulation under the influence of the seasonally-variable wind.The actual bottom topography is taken into account in the model.The motion is excited only by the tangential wind stress with a non-zero vorticity.The energy loss is due to the bottom friction, the friction at the layers' interface and the horizontal turbulent vis
