Based on the measurement data obtained during the 121th cruise of the RV Professor Vodyanitsky, regularities were established between spatial distribution of quantitative characteristics and phytoplankton species composition, chlorophyll a concentration, and hydrometeorological parameters of the environment on the southern Crimean coast in the spring 2022. Chlorophyll a concentration was compared with satellite observation data of high spatial resolution. In selected areas with different shelf depths, the features of the distribution of phytoplankton indicators under conditions of changing hydrometeorological parameters were studied. The mechanisms of vertical water exchange were described. In coastal waters of the Crimea (Foros–Novy Svet), with intense western wind contributing to Ekman upwelling and low water temperature is a consequence of the upwelling, rather high values of phytoplankton biomass and abundance and chlorophyll a concentration were recorded, which were accompanied by the highest values of oxygen content. In the area of Sudak–Feodosiya, with intense northeastern wind and waves and with quite high water temperature, low dissolved oxygen, low values of phytoplankton biomass and abundance and chlorophyll a concentration were registered. Apparently, in Sevastopol area, Ekman upwelling arises under the effect of northern and northwestern winds. In three regions, dinoflagellate microalgae prevailed in spring 2022 in phytoplankton biomass. Those accounted for 52, 66, 81 % of the total number of species identified in the regions: Foros–Novy Svet, Sudak–Feodosiya, near Sevastopol, respectively. Thus, the main mechanisms were analyzed, which drive spatial distribution of quantitative characteristics and species composition of the phytoplankton community in the Crimean coastal water area with different shelf depths in spring. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
