Abstract. Adverse weather phenomena within the arid territory of the Republic of Altai are under examination. Essential and minor difference in temperature behaviour of surface air have been diagnosed. Key words: air temperature, rainfall, arid conditions, highlands, adverse phenomena. Introduction. Studying climate effect upon human activity in agronomical area especially in continental Russia and the Siberia has always been a hot topic. Academician Vavilov N.I. who visited major agricultural regions of the world used to say, ‘Climate in the USSR is more powerful than economy or commercial factors’. According to Ponko V.A. interest to the subject grows after essential extreme weather phenomena – rainless or perhumid summers, or severe winters. Such conditions happened at the beginning of reclamation of virgin land beyond Ural when favourably humid summer in 1954 gave way to rough drought in 1955. Drought of 1963 led to troubles with breadmaking and caused political crisis in the country. The most harvestless years were: 1972 worldwide; 1975 – in the Soviet Union; 1981 – in the Siberia; 1999 – in Central Russia. In 1972 drought occured in European part of the country, when beyong Ural humidity conditions were advantageous, though early snow resulted in loss of a part of harvest [1]. In the Altai Mountains arid territories occupy the largest areas in the south-east, within the bounds of administrative Kosh-Agachsky District. Nearness to the center of Asian (Mongolian) anticyclone defined the peculiarities of climate. Eternal frost remains here occasionally. Rainfall does not URL: http://www.sworld.com.ua/e-journal/J21302.pdf Downloaded from SWorld.

VolJ21302 exceed 250 mm within arid terrains, measurably increasing only on basin periphery and mountain slopes. The main focus is laid upon agriculture. The dominating sector is cattle breeding with more than 98% of agricultural production accruing to it. Extensive development of cattle breeding led to intensified usage of natural forage lands and their degradation in respectable areas in 1970th-80th (soil dehumification, loss of vegetation, substitution of species composition). Reduction of livestock population in the farms of the area in 1990th played a positive role in pasture restoration. Though growth of animal number in 2000th accompanied by an almost complete termination of fodder production on irrigated lands resulted in intensification of ecological systems usage, especially near inhabited localities [2]. Materials and research methods. The ingoing research material is data of hydrometeorological services record logs for the years 2000-2012. On this base deviations of surface air temperature and rainfall amount were measured compared to long-term average annual indexes. For reference and detection of the most prominent deviations official data on long-term mean annual rainfall and temperature [3] were used for the base period between 1961-1991 and 1970-2000 according to Kosh- Agach hydrometeorological service [4]. A complex of geographical, mathematical, statistical, cartographical and geoinformational methods were applied. Outcomes. The observed global and regional climate warming is proved through many facts. According to Narozhny Y.K.’s data glacier covering area in Altai reduced by 11%, while glacier amount increased by 25%, which gives evidence that large glaciers split into smaller ones as a result of glaciation in Altai [5]. Although ecological systems and population life still were not affected by deglaciation on the territory of South-East Altai [6]. According to some authors a high level threat for arid terrains is desertification [7]. URL: http://www.sworld.com.ua/e-journal/J21302.pdf Downloaded from SWorld.

Three time windows are distinguished: warming of 1910-1945, slight temperature fall

In the 1970s, six dams were commissioned, and respective monitoring infrastructure was installed. Riverbanks and valley floors composed of unconsolidated material have much lower bank strengths and are susceptible to fluvial erosion and bank collapse, particularly during the release of high flow volumes from hydropower dams. The regulation of the Dnieper River along a cascade of storage reservoirs caused significant changes in its active river channel and hydrological regime. In order to estimate channel stability downstream of the Kaniv reservoir, we conducted an analysis of the hydraulic conditions in terms of changes in flow velocity and propagation of waves caused by intervention water discharges from the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP).

Accepted: 31.07.2021. An analysis of the research results on the quantitative and qualitative composition of zooplankton in the middle part of the Kremenchuk reservoir in the water area near Chervona Sloboda, Lesky, and Khudyaki in August 2016 is presented аt elevated temperatures. Of particular note is the first decade of the month, when there was a shift in maximum temperature to +25.42 ± 0.15°C (Cv=1.86%). In general, the water temperature was unstable; its maximum values were a stress factor for plankton invertebrates of the reservoir. It is established that for each section of the water area, certain specific Rotifera species are characteristic of zooplankton: Hexarthra mira (Hudson, 1871)–at station 1; Lepadella patella (O.F. Muller, 1786), Mytilina mucronata (Müller, 1773), Brachionus forficula Wierzejski, 1891, Br. budapestinensis (Daday, 1885)–at station 2; Polyarthra euryptera (Carlin 1943; Bartos 1950; Nipkow 1952; Sudzuki 1964), Lecane luna (Müller, 1776), Synchaeta monopus (Plate, 1889), Asplanchna priodonta var.
