134 frontal surface of the rough model of the seamount to its top, and then vortex, jet, and wave flows formed in the wake of the upper part of the mountain. At a depth of 0.35 of the mountain height, the simulated flow in the longitudinal axial section of the seamount model bifurcated, and at the level of half the mountain height, it was recorded that the colored jets did not rise to the top of the mountain, but, flowing around it from the sides, were directed to its bottom. Keywords: rough model, seamount, experimental study, visualization, vortex and jet flow Introduction. Circulation flows of the upper layer of the ocean surface due to the redistribution of thermal energy, nutrients, and air moisture between the five World Oceans play a crucial role in maintaining climatic conditions on Earth. These large-scale or mesoscale circulation flows, which have a mesoscale length (30- 100) km and a smaller submesoscale width (1-10) km or less, generate wind loads and arise as a result of the action of Coriolis forces, which are caused by the rotation of the planet Earth [1]. The research of the mechanisms that control the process of ocean surface circulation and their deep flows is crucial for the rational use of resources, including renewable ocean wave energy, sea transport routes, and climate forecasting. The North Atlantic Current, which is an extension of the Gulf Stream, interacts with seamounts such as Atlantis II, located approximately 800 km southeast of the coast of Cape Cod (Massachusetts, USA), and creates a complex hydrodynamic structure of the flow, including eddies, wakes, and internal waves that significantly affect deep-sea mixing, nutrient distribution, and alter the velocity and propagation of acoustic waves [2]. The Atlantis II seamount is part of the New England volcanic seamount chain, which includes more than 35 topographic features [3], has longitude and latitude coordinates and an elevation of approximately 3350 m, and its summit is located at a depth of approximately 1650 m relative to the ocean surface. Atlantis II Seamount is an elongated, highly eroded seamount extending across the ocean floor with a base diameter of about 60 km at a depth of about 5 km from north to south,
