We analyze the results of the field hydrological and hydrochemical observations of the submarine discharge of underground waters near the cape Aiya (South Coast of the Crimea) obtained with the help of the measuring equipment developed at the Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences. We measure the current velocities, temperature, salinity, and the contents of silicic acid and phosphates inside a karst cavity and in the test region around the cavity. We present three estimates of the output of submarine discharge and compute the amounts of silicic acid and phosphates carried out into the sea by the submarine source.
