Tidal mesorelief at the bottom of the eastern part of the White Sea

Abstract

The data obtained by the parametric fathometer "Arasound" in 1997 during the run of the research ship "Academician Sergey Vavilov" in the easter part of the White Sea were processed. Six accumulative and two erosion tidal landform types are characterized. Sand ridges, sand waves of two types, sand ripple and glib sands may be mentioned among accumulative forms. The conditions of such landform existence and their distribution within the area are discussed.
