The experimental data presented in the article show that in the North-Eastern sector of the Middle Caspian sea in the area of Peschanomyssky uplift there is a disturbance of currents caused by the interaction of the cyclonic cycle with the southern slope of the uplift. As a result of this interaction, the waters of the cyclonic cycle are divided into branches – the lower and upper. The lower bottom branch is thrown by the uplift in the South-Western direction, where at the Cape of the uplift it collides with the waters flowing down the bottom of the South-Buzachinsky deflection in the South-Eastern direction, and the upper branch, consisting of near-surface and intermediate cold waters, is pushed up and passes through the uplift. As a result of the rise of cold water in the surface layer formed upwelling, which extends to the entire North-Eastern region of the sea.
