Abstract—The Princeton Ocean Model was used to investigate the formation and evolution of a temperature
anomaly in the coastal zone. The conditions of a warm-water supply from a continuous source, simulating a
power plant, were modeled for the shallow waters of the Caspian Sea (Apsheron Peninsula). A study of the
behavior of a warm-water jet was performed for the actual bottom topography and hydrometeorological condi-
tions typical of the region under study.
