The article is devoted to the results of hydrometeorological research of the Black Sea, carried out on a stationary oceanographic platform located near the Southern Coast of Crimea at a distance of 600 m from the shore. The author represents a complex developed at Marine Hydrophysical Institute, for measuring such hydrometeorological parameters as wave height, wind speed and wind direction, atmosphere and sea temperatures, atmosphere pressure, relative humidity. In order to measure the wave heights the twisted res...

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...
