Abstract

The article deals with the problem of studying changes in some climatic indicators (temperature, precipitation) in the Kashkadarya River basin. For this purpose, the analysis of land surface temperature and area of snow and ice cover on Landsat 8 images was used. Comparison of the obtained results with the results of analysis of archival data of Uzhydromet and water level data of gauging stations showed that the growth rate of average annual temperatures in Kashkadarya province is 0.21oC, and the rate of reduction of snow-ice cover area is 1% per year. in general, which has decreased over the past 15 years, by 75%. Such trends may lead to a significant reduction in the river flow of the Kashkadarya River in the coming years.
