Popis: | The research objective is to analyze the causes of the catastrophic rise in the water level of rivers in the Katun River basin (the territory of the Altai Republic) in 2014. The research was conducted through the consideration of the impact factors that lead to flooding of the territory. The moisture regime is analyzed, as well as the change in the air temperature of the considered basin. It is established that the flood in several areas of the Altai Republic located in the Katun River basin was caused by the cumulative effect of the natural and anthropogenic factors, which created the emergency situation, with the dominating natural one—the record high precipitation for the entire period of instrumental monitoring. The general reason for such prolonged and intense precipitation was the extensive stationary cyclone, which spread to most of the Altai Mountains due to the blocking role of the high-level anticyclone spread from the southeast to the western and central parts of Russia in the last third of May–the first third of June 2014. |
