| Abstract: | On the basis of processing and analysis of the results of many-year observations, we study the process of formation of dome-shaped
isosurfaces of hydrological and hydrochemical characteristics for all depths in the Black Sea. We estimate the roles of the
intensities of sources and sinks of heat and dissolved substances and the general picture of water circulation, vertical exchange,
meso- and small-scale anticyclonic vorticity, and mud and geothermal flows to the preservation of the dome-shaped form of
the isosurfaces of these characteristics.
