Abstract
The paper presents the results of our investigation of the moisture resources on the northeastern slope of the Greater Caucasus. For this purpose, standard meteorological data archives of the Siyazan, Khachmaz, Guba, Khaltan and Gyryz meteorological stations located at different heights of this slope were used for the period of 1966-2005. Regional climate changes were assessed by comparing the average monthly air temperature and the amount of precipitation using the diff method for 1961-1990 and 1991-2005. Long-term trends in the change in the total amount of atmospheric precipitation, the Selyaninov HTC andD.I. Shashko’s moisture index for the warm period of the year and the ratio of the precipitation amount for the warm period to the annual precipitation amount were evaluated. It was found out that the multi-year tendency of the precipitation amounts during the warm period has not actually changed.
