Abstract

Variations of hydrometeorological variables of the Rybinsk Reservoir area from 1947 to 2005 are analyzed. A special attention is given to the global warming period started since 1976. It is shown that the intensity of air temperature increase on the reservoir shore during recent 30 years made up 0.46–0.56°C/10 years. The maximum increase in the water temperature at shore stations and in the surface layer was registered in July at an increase rate of 0.7–1.2°C/10 years. The change in climate conditions resulted in the increase in low-water runoff, decrease in snowmelt flood volumes, and shift in the time of snowmelt flood start.
