The article represents the results of a multi-year (1995-2011) monitoring of wind waves in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. The author gives a clear-cut presentation of the regime and extreme characteristics of wind waves of the northwestern shelf of the Black Sea. The measurements were carried out on a stationary offshore platform Golitsino-4, located 50 km from the shore. A twisted resistive wave gage with a sampling resolution of 4 Hz and the possibility of registering wave heights up to 10 m was used to...
