Abstract

The article is devoted to calculations of the average long-term characteristics of the weather in the Ile Alatau Mountains. This is necessary for the long-term assessment of avalanche danger and planning the work of special services. The main factors of avalanche formation are the height and strength of the snow cover, as well as the amount of precipitation. These characteristics have been observed for many years at the avalanche stations "Shymbulak" and "Lake Ulken Almaty" near the city of Almaty. The average values of meteorological elements were calculated for the period 2001-2021. The data were collected from various sources - technical reports of avalanche stations, data from meteorological stations of international exchange and the archives of the Institute of Geography. Based on the results of the work, a climatic reference book was created for the needs of workers of the avalanche service.
