Annotation
We study the effect of wind on the flow along an inclined plane. It is proved that the spiral rotation of the velocity vector with depth which is observed in shallow basins, is due to a combined action of the wind, the incline of the floor, and the Earth's gravity. The theory explains the results of measurements in the estuaries of the Volkhov and Volga Rivers.
