AB: The coastal dynamics model, restoring the three-dimensional hydro-physical structure of the coastal shallow-water area is essentially improved. The improvement involves two-equation of non-localarametrization scheme which is based on turbulentkinetic energyand dissipation rate nonlinear equations, the forcing influence of the surface wind on the drift geostrophic currents and their contribution to the formation of the turbulent exchangein the oceanic shallow-water zone, the interaction betweenatmospheric boundary layer and oceanic surface. We divide atmospheric turbulentmomentum flux into two parts, responsible fordevelopment of thedrift currents and formation of the wind waves. The kinetic turbulent energy flux from the atmosphere to oceanic eddies definedby the collapse of the surface waves. The depth of intensive dissipation oceanic surface layer and atmospheric friction velosity are used for the calculation of the dissipation in this layer. This model describes more fully mechanisms of turbulent coastal dynamics in the oceanic boundary layer than any one developed so far and can be used for solving many applied problems of coastal oceanic dynamics.
