Abstract

The results of many-year field studies are used to discuss the issues of formation of the hydrological regime and the morphological pattern of the estuary of the Bol’shoi Vilyui R., belonging to the subtype of lagoon-lacustrine estuaries. A vast body of factual data, which characterize the estuary and the processes taking place in it, as well as the natural conditions under which it exists.
