The main goal of the study is to understand the role of climatic changes of the physical state of the sea in regulating the primary production. The methodology of the project made combined use of modeling and observations as tools to diagnose and understand the interactions between physical and ecological states of the Caspian Sea. The most important result of the study is development of the coupled 3-dimensional physical-biochemical (ecosystem) model of the Caspian Sea. The ecosystem model was used for understanding seasonal dynamics of low-trophic biochemical cycles of the Caspian Sea.
