Abstract
Data of the monitoring of air temperature in the South-Western Baikal region in the areas of Tunkin and Mondin depressions (the Republic of Buryatia) is analyzed. Year-round observations of air temperatures were carried out from 2007 to 2013 using programmable electronic temperature sensors DS1922L-F5, mounted at 35 observation sites located at altitudes from 718 to 2325 meters. The long-term climatic changes in depressions are described, and a comparative analysis of the results of microclimatic studies of air temperature with observations of weather stations at the study area is provided. The obtained results demonstrated features of the temperature distribution in the mountain-depression landscape. Results can be extrapolated to vast areas and used at modeling of regional climate peculiarities.
