Abstract
South Eastern Black Sea coasts are considered
as study area. The purpose of study is to determine
the wind induced upwelling in the region . Mean monthly
(1930 1990) wind speed data was used to calculate
the surface current which are suitable upwelling events.
The results show that the wind stress is not suitable
to occurrence of upwelling in the region.
