The paper presents the results of a study of icings that form in winter in the southern, Russian part of the Lake Baikal basin. Baikal in the watersheds of small rivers of the Selenga middle mountains. Based on the analysis of meteorological data, multi-temporal space images and materials of field expeditionary studies, the general features of the dynamics of ice floes under conditions of changing climatic cycles are established. The total area of icing, most of which accumulates in the floodplain parts of the valleys of small rivers and along the channels of streams (spring icing), today within the study area is 365 km2. In recent years, the maximum intensity of ice formation was recorded for the period from 1997 to 2001, the minimum falls on 2015-2017. In low-water climatic cycles, the areas and volumes of icings are reduced by 4-6 times in relation to the sizes they reach in the years of manifestation of maxima. Currently, with the onset of a highwater climate cycle, there is a steady increase
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
