The Catalogue of the Caspian Sea Water Temperature

In 2013 the national hydrometeorological organizations – CASPCOM members completed their joint work on the Catalogue of the Caspian Sea Water Temperature.
The Catalogue comprises the data for the entire Caspian coast for the whole the observation period starting from 1961.
The Catalogue contains the tables of maximum, minimum and average monthly values of sea water temperature at 20 posts and the complete description of the database.
The 18^th CASPCOM Session took a decision to display the tables of mean water temperature values for all the posts and to update the Catalogue with the new data once in a three years’ time.
The information on the maximum and minimum water temperature values which is not available at CASPCOM website can be submitted to stakeholders upon the request to the relevant national hydrometeorological organization.
