The role of precipitation and air temperature in the formation of summer runoff

Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of the formation of river flow in the summer period, in which there is the greatest need for water to meet agricultural needs and there is the maximum contribution of glacier water to the total flow. To identify the influence of air temperature and precipitation in different summer months and in general for June-August, calculated were correlation coefficients between climate elements and the water content of watercourses. The steady dependence of the runoff on air temperature, both for individual months and the summer period, is generally characteristic only of the Chon and Kichi Naryn river basins.
