Transcribed Image Text:Consider the seawater exchange at the entrance of the Black Sea, which is an enclosed
ocean basin in communication with the Mediterranean Sea. The salinity of the bottom
layer inflow is 35. The measured volume transport of the upper layer outflow is 12 x 103
m'/s with a salinity of 17.5. The volume of the entire Black Sea has the same density.
a) What is the volume transport of the bottom layer inflow to the Black Sea.
b) Is the Black Sea an evaporative or precipitation basin? Justify your answer.
c) The volume of the Black Sea is 0.6 x 10 km³ and does not change in time. What is the
residence time of the Black Sea?
