“…Also we should mention that the bimodal precipitation regime recorded in Almaty is not so pronounced at higher elevations where we have just one peak from April to August instead of two. The temperature has an increasing trend and the rate became faster after 1982, whereas precipitation had a decreasing trend at the beginning of the last century, after that, the trend leveled and became a nearly flat line from 1958 to 2010 (Cherednichenko et al, 2015). Monthly data correlations, including spatial correlations, were analyzed in the KNMI climate explorer, and daily data using the (CLIMTREG_ V4) program (Beck et al, 2013).…”

The result of correlation analysis between tree-ring growth and climate is the key indicator in dendroclimatic investigations. Combinations of different climate datasets with different tree-ring parameters of Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch. et Mey.), give different correlation results. Samples for this study were collected in spruce forests of northern Tian Shan in the southeastern part of Kazakhstan. Several combinations of monthly, daily, gridded and station climate data with earlywood (EW), latewood (LW), total ring width (TRW) of young, old and mixed (old and young) trees were checked. EW showed the best correlations with precipitation, LW with temperature and TRW with Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Correlation analysis indicates that daily climate data in combination with EW and LW provide best results. Strongest correlation with precipitation was found for EW of old trees, for the period July 6 th-November 3 rd (previous year), r = 0.64 (p<0.05). LW of agemixed trees showed correlation with temperature of current year. Strongest correlations: with average temperature, for the period June 11 th-August 4 th , r =-0.67; with maximum temperature, for the period June 25 th-July 17 th , r =-0.66 (p<0.05) and with minimum temperature for the period June 11 th-August 4 th , r =-0.64 (p<0.05). TRW of young trees showed the strongest correlation with the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index 12, for June of current year, r = 0.61 (p<0.05). Finally a shifting of strongest correlation between EW of mixed trees and precipitation was found. The strongest correlations with gridded data were found in previous July and with station data in previous October. This study provides new information for understanding the relationships between tree-ring growth and climate in the Trans-Ili Alatau.

“…The duration of the frost-free period in most of the territory is 123-161 days. Spring frosts stop mainly at the end of April (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29), and the first autumn frosts in most areas are observed at the end of September and the beginning of October.…”

Accelerated Glacier Area Loss in the Zhetysu (Dzhungar) Alatau Range (Tien Shan) for the Period of 1956–2016

An updated glacier inventory is important for understanding the current glacier dynamics in the conditions of actual accelerating glacier retreat observed around the world. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the glaciation areas of the Zhetysu Alatau Range (Tien Shan) for 1956–2016 using well-established semiautomatic methods based on the band ratios. The total glacier area decreased by 49 ± 2.8% or by 399 ± 11.2 km2 from 813.6 ± 22.8 km2 to 414.6 ± 11.6 km2 during 1956–2016, while the number of glaciers increased from 985 to 813. Similar rates of area change characterized the periods 1956–2001, 2001–2012, 2012–2016, and 2001–2016: −296.2 ± 8.3 (−0.8% a−1), −63.7± 1.8 (−1.1% a−1), −39.1 ±1.1 (−2.2% a−1) and −102.8 ± 2.9 (−1.3% a−1) km2, respectively. The mean glacier size decreased from 0.57 km2 in 2001 to 0.51 km2 in 2016. Most glaciation areas of the Zhetysu Alatau faced north (north, northwest, and northeast), covered 390.35 ± 11 km2, and were located in altitudes between 3000 and 4000 m.a.s.l. With shrinkage rates of about −0.8% and −1.3% a−1 for the periods of 1956–2001 and 2001–2016, our results show that study area has the highest shrinkage rate compared to other glacierized areas of Central Asian mountains, including Altai, Pamir, and even the inner ranges of Tien Shan. It was found that a significant increase in temperature (0.12 °C/10 years) plays a main role in the state of glaciers.

“…Introduction. The mountain ranges of the South-Eastern Kazakhstan are characterized by a dense distribution of moraine-glacial lakes [1,2], and they are rapidly expanding due to degradation of glaciers in light of an increase in the temperature background in the high-mountainous part [3,4]. Such lakes are located on the surface of glaciers (supra-glacial lakes or ponds), behind terminal or lateral moraines (proglacial lakes) and other lakes that do not have direct contact with the glacier, but lie on the periphery of the glacier and are fed by melting snow and glaciers [5,6].…”
