The structure of currents and water exchange in the overgrowing shallows

Abstract

The morphometric characteristics and bottom topography of typical shallows behind the island are characterized. The long – term and seasonal dynamics of the water level in the Rybinsk reservoir during the period from 1947 to 2020 is considered. The periods of fluctuations of the main hydrometeorological parameters in relation to the investigated section of the reservoir are shown. Based on archival and modern observation data on the structure of currents, the patterns of water transport and water exchange in the shallows are investigated, taking its seasonal overgrowth with macrophytes into account.
