Short summary
The Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed basin on Earth and a unique subject for the analysis of the tidal dynamics. Using numerical modelling, we examine details of the spatial and temporal features of the tidal dynamics in the Caspian Sea. We present tidal charts of the amplitudes and phase lags of the major tidal constituents. The maximum tidal range, of up to 21 cm, has been found in Turkmen Bay. The tidal currents in this area have speeds of up to 22 cm s-1.
