Abstract
Numerical simulation by means of three-dimensional hydrostatic model was carried out with the effect of icing event for water current field in the Caspian Sea. As a result, prediction of water temperature field was improved by considering the icing event. The salinity field contributes to formation of the surface gyre system, while the accuracy of predicting salinity field was not enough. The water current field in the Caspian Sea is formed by adding wind-driven current to the dominant density-driven current, which is based on horizontal differences in water temperature and salinity, and Coriolis force.
