| has gloss | eng: Floods in Saint Petersburg are due to the Neva River delta and the eastern part of Neva Bay. There are several factors: cyclones, arising in the Baltic Sea, with a prevalence of west winds cause a "slow" matched Kelvin wave to rise and move towards Neva Creek, where it meets the natural river flow moving in the opposite direction. The water level rises because of the shallowness of Neva Bay and the flatness of its bottom, and the narrowing of the Gulf of Finland near the delta. Seiches, onsets and another factors also contribute to the floods. |
