Abstract

The results of route snow surveys of 2011–2014 in the Kasmala River basin, which is typical of the southern forest-steppe of Altai Krai, are analyzed. The interannual differentiation of the major snow cover characteristics is considered along with the factors that have an effect on the snow accumulation rates in different types of geosystems in the basin.
