- Title
Tidal waves at Mezen mouth and surge-wave formation conditions.
- Authors
Dolgopolova, E.
- Abstract
The factors that govern the distribution and transformation of tidal waves in the macrotidal estuary of the Mezen River have been considered, including tide range in the mouth section, water discharge in the river's lower reaches, estuary shape, and bed resistance coefficient. Data on variations of water discharge over period 1920-2008 are given. The parameters of estuary channel narrowing in horizontal and vertical sections have been considered. The effect of narrowing and bed hydraulic friction on tide wave amplitude has been evaluated. Froude number values for the tidal estuary suggest that tidal bore can form at the Mezen mouth. The conditions of the propagation of tidal waves to the mouths of different rivers and tidal bore formation in them are considered.
