The Data of the Observations at the Kolyma Water Balance Station: the Potential of their Application in Academic and Applied Problems and the Need for the Resumption of Special Surveys

摘要

A grid of water-balance stations operated in the former USSR. Detailed observations of the water balance elements were conducted at them within the framework of a single program. The stations were located in all main natural regions of the country. The data of water-balance stations served as the basis for complex studies of the runoff formation regularities in different physiographic regions and also as the basis for the development of runoff calculation methodologies.
