Abstract

The article provides a general geographical description of the Odra River basin and its mouth area, including the mouth reach of the river, lagoon and nearshore zone, and provides brief information on the current hydrological regime of the river and the hydrological features of the Szczecin Lagoon and Pomeranian Bay. It is shown that in the second half of the 20th century, due to the intensification of cyclonic activity over the Baltic Sea, storm surges became more frequent on the coast of the Pomeranian Bay and at the mouth of the river. The features of storm surges in the Szczecin Lagoon and the mouth reach of the Odra River are described.
