Abstract

The article presents the establishment, destruction, the number of days with stable snow cover and spatio-temporal changes of snow water equivalent and its statistical characteristics in the Nura-Sarysu water management basin. The main purpose of the research is to study the dynamics of changes in snow water equivalent, since snow plays an important role in climatic, hydrological and glaciological processes, and is also a powerful climatic factor. For this purpose, in research work used data from 14 meteorological stations of the state observation network of RSE "Kazhydromet", located in the water management basin for the period 1971-2019. The analysis was carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics: by comparing the average long-term values for two successive periods: base - 1971-1995 and modern - 1996-2019; to determine the trend of change were used the methods of linear approximation of time series and the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test. As a result of the study, it was revealed that a stable snow cover in the basin is established in late October, early November, and complete destruction occurs in the first decades of April. The number of days with snow cover averages 128 days. It has been established that the establishment and destruction of a stable snow cover, the number of days have a zonal pattern. It was also determined that the snow water equivalent in the basin range from 28.3 mm (Akadyr) to 118.5 mm (Kyzyltu), and the long-term average for area value is 64.0 mm. Snow water equivalent for the basin for the period 1971-2019 for every 10 years there is a statistically insignificant increase of 0.96 mm. A statistically significant increase is observed only at the Aksu-Aiuly station (10.3 mm/10 years), while a decrease is observed at the Karaganda SH station (6.2 mm/10 years).
