Abstract

Seiche movements in two small areas of semi-closed seas on the Continental Shelf (the White Sea and the Sea of Azov) with very different morphometric characteristics are considered in this paper. In addition, tidal movements are highly developed in the White sea, while in the Azov sea tides are virtually absent. We’ve used morphometric characteristics of the seas, including the ones recently obtained by the Azov Sea, as well as methods of numerical hydrodynamic simulation based on the theory of shallow water, and spectral analysis of the observation data of the sea level fluctuations.
