Kosarev that had occurred in the coastal zone of the Caspian Sea during the latest sea level rise from 1978 to 1995. In so doing, we will consider only the western coast of the sea referring to Russia and Azerbaijan. Within the Russian coastal zone, with respect to geomorphology, three major regions may be distinguished: the Volga River delta, the Terek–Kuma Lowland (within Kalmykia), and the narrow near-shore band with marine terraces along the coast of Dagestan. During the sea level fall from 1929 up to the end of the 1950s, on the average, the seaward edge of the delta of the Volga River had advanced by about 10–20 km.
Among these types of previous studies, the monographs [1–3] and atlases [4, 5], which helped to form the general picture of the physical and oceanographic conditions of the Caspian Sea are notable. This study is distinguished for the greater amount of the observational data used and for the more up-to-date techniques of their processing and analysis, close to those used in the widely known Climatological Atlas of the World Ocean [6]. This provides the possibility of significant refinement and improvement of existing concepts of the physical oceanography of the Caspian Sea waters.
