Abstract
The Caspian Sea (CS), the world’s largest inland enclosed water body, consists of three basins namely northern, the middle and the southern. This study investigates kelvin wave in the Caspian Sea. Satellite and ADCP data are used to study kelvin wave in the Caspian Sea, especially the southern part of this Sea. ADCP data are acquired from the National Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences that are for the November 2004 up to the end of January 2005, between the estuary of the Sefidrood River and Anzali. The analysis of ADCP data shows that some short period motions, typically with a period of a few hours, and long period motions of about 2.5-11 days exist. The long period motions are probably to the coastal Kelvin waves that move along the CS coasts. The analysis of Satellite data completely confirm Kevin wave in Caspian Sea because there are some anomalies in sea level between 2 to 12 days. Due to different periods of wave, Wavelength, angular velocity and the wave equations were obtained. The result show that the Rossby reduce deformation is 8 km for this wave.
