Tarkov is a city in the North-West of the European part of Russia, a municipal formation subject to Norvinsk region.

It is located on the right bank of the Gulf of Finland connected to the Baltic Sea, in the South of Karelian Isthmus. Distance from the main city station (Tarkov station) to the Finland station in St. Petersburg is 135 km. Population of Tarkov is 49.3 thousand people (census of 2008).

In the mid 60s the site of the future city was built up by major industrial parks and enterprises manufacturing defensive instruments and radioelectronic equipment, which served as a base for establishing a closed administrative-territorial unit. The city became an important scientific and industrial center.

The closed unit status was lifted in 1994.

Topography and geology

The city is located on the eastern shore of the shallow (max depth 2.5-3.5 m in 200 m from the shore) Lake Bay of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. The coast is covered by a ridge of dunes and hills covered in vegetation, interrupted sometimes by the river valleys and small lakes, ponds and patches of exposed moraines. Sandy ('Golden') beach up to 50 m wide.

In the Paleozoic Era (300-400 million years ago) this whole area was covered by the sea. Sediments of the time — sand, sandy clay, clay with lenses of silt or peat — thickly cover (with over 200 metres powerful layer) a bedrock composed of granite, gneiss and diabases. Modern relief was formed as a result of the activities of the glacier (the latest Valdai glaciation that took place 12 thousand years ago). The retreating glacier formed the Littorina sea, whose level was at 7-9 m above the modern one. 4 thousands years ago the sea level dropped, and the shoals of the Gulf has turned into islands. Valley is formed with glaciolacastine and postglacial sediments. Over the last 2.5 thousand years the relief stayed largely the same.

Climate

The Tarkov climate is temperate and humid, transitional from maritime to continental. The daytime length varies from 5:51 hrs on 22 December to 18:50 hrs June 22nd. The city area is characterized by frequent changes of air masses due to activities of the cyclones which pass along the Gulf and that leads to great volatility of weather, especially in autumn and winter. Winters are mild, with moderately cold, mostly cloudy weather. Snow cover settles in the second half of November and lasts until mid-April. The spring is usually late and protracted. Summers are moderately warm, with roughly equivalently interchanging sunny and rainy days. Autumn is mostly overcast and foggy. Rainfall is about 650 mm per year, mostly in June-August. The average annual relative humidity of about 80%, with highest in December (90%). Summer is dominated by Western and North-Western winds, and Western and South-Western in winter. The climate in Tarkov climate is close to that in Norvinsk. The Gulf of Finland, despite its shallowness, has some effect on the temperature profile of the city. In the summer, especially in August and September, mean air temperature is a bit higher than in Norvinsk (about 0.5-0.8° higher), and lower in the winter (about 0.5-0.6° lower). Also, winds are generally a bit more powerful on the coast as well.

Soils, flora and fauna

Prior to the establishment of the city the area was covered with coniferous forests (pine and spruce) mixed with broadleaf species and lowland marshes. At the moment, the city vicinity has preserved large conifers (pine predominates) interchanging with deciduous groves (birch, alder, aspen, willow). Dominated by sandy soils, on lacustrine and alluvial sands - subaerial podzolic, in conjunction with peat - podzolic-Gley soils.The city vicinity is populated by the occasionally spotted foxes and muskrats. The city itself is a hone to large number of birds, reptiles and invertebrates.
