Abstract: The first regular study of sea ice in the Northern part of the Caspian started in the early 30s of the last century. Since then there was a lot of work done to define monthly ice edges, thickness distribution ice drift and ridging. Physical and chemical properties of ice such as strength, salinity and density were tested as well as properties of under-ice water with growing intensity since the first expeditions then. However, frazil ice as one of the most important ice types as one of the most important ice types in the area was not thoroughly studied. This work is one of the first ones that attempts to describe frazil ice formation process and estimate its effect on development of ice cover in the Northern Caspian Sea.
