Abstract
The work aims to study the dynamics of meteorological characteristics, the intra-annual distribution of atmospheric precipitation, and temperature in the area of the Kairakkum reservoir periods from the beginning of its operation (1960) to 2021. The reservoir using for seasonally regulate the flow of the river to provide water for irrigation, as well as to generate electricity. The reservoir filling began in 1956 and put into operation in 1959.The influence of the reservoir on the meteorological conditions of coastal areas assess a comparative analysis of the seasonal distribution of precipitation in the periods before (1930–1960) and after the construction (1961–2021) of the Kairakkum reservoirs. The data from Kairakkum reservoir meteorological station, located directly in the study area, for the period 1960–2021 were used. Generalization and processing of meteorological data from the meteorological station "Kairakkum reservoir" show that in the 1960–2021 periods the atmospheric precipitation amounts did not undergo significant changes and retained an almost constant value, but is variable by seasons of the year. Temperature dynamics have increasing trend. The difference in long-term seasonal temperatures between 1961–2021 and 1930–1960 periods was characterized by positive values by except of the summer season.
