Popis: The results of modeling of the long-term fluctuations in Lake Baikal levels and Angara River runoff are presented. The dynamic-stochastical model was developed and used to obtain analytical relationships between the statistic characteristics of the Baikal levels fluctuations and the parameters of forcing processes, including water inflow into the lake and the effective evaporation from its surface. The parameter λ determining the inertia of the Baikal levels fluctuations, decreased by about three times after Irkutsk Reservoir filling, resulting in an increase in the variance of the lake levels fluctuations. The dependence of variances of the Baikal levels fluctuations and Angara runoff on parameter λ was studied. It is shown that the decreasing in the variance of the Baikal levels fluctuations corresponds to increasing in the variance of Angara river runoff and vice versa. The results of numerical modeling of Baikal levels fluctuations show that water withdrawal from inflow into the lake has an adverse effect on Angara runoff regime.
