Description
Summary:•Emiliania huxleyi blooms in the open Black Sea during late spring-summer and winter.•Large interannual variability in late spring-summer bloom frequency and duration.•Shallow upper mixed layer promotes E. huxleyi blooms during late spring-summer.•Winter bloom frequency has declined from 5 to 28% before 2007 to 1–3% in recent years.•Weakened convective mixing and deep location of the nutricline reduce winter blooms.
