Abstract
One the most complete megadatabases for the period of 1914–2010 is used to study the interannual dynamics of salinity and temperature of Caspian Sea waters. Periods with relatively stable sea levels but different climatic conditions are considered. Average interannual climatic salinity and temperature profiles of water and corresponding anomalies are analyzed. Quantitative and qualitative changes in the structure of seawater that took place during the 20th century are described. Schemes of water exchange between particular sea regions for different sea levels are proposed.
