Why should the Odra River mouth area not be regarded as an estuary? A geologist’s point of view

Osadczuk A., Musielak S., Borówka R.K.

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies

2007

Vol. 36, No.2

87-99

The authors find no arguments that would justify application of the term “estuary” to the area of the Odra River discharge into the Baltic Sea. The physiography, geology, and hydrology of the Odra river mouth show that the area possesses many more characteristics typical of flow-through coastal lagoons than those of estuaries. Of key importance in this respect is the Szczecin Lagoon, an extensive, shallow water body separated from the open sea by a barrier intersected by three narrow and long straits. The lagoonal nature of the area is demonstrated also by its geological history.

Water level fluctuations in the Odra River mouth area in relation to passages of deep low-pressure systems

Wiśniewski B., Kowalewska-Kalkowska H.

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies

2007

Vol. 36, No.1

69-82

The Odra River mouth area is affected by storm surges caused by passages of deep lowpressure systems over the Baltic Sea. The surges are the result of wind action and changes in atmospheric pressure at the sea surface. The two effects may be additive, in which both factors increase or decrease the sea level on the coast, or they may be non-additive, where one factor increases the sea level and the other decreases it. This paper discusses the role of the wind field and changes in atmospheric pressure in the duration and extent of storm surges in the Odra River mouth area.
