In the article we consider the results of the study of
climatic attractiveness of the South of Russia from the
point of view of tourism development. Formal
definition of attractiveness was reached by using a
wide spread concept of climatic indices. Any climatic
index is calculated by a set of medical and biological
characteristics. The latter are defined on the basis of
human physiology. Indices, which are used for
evaluation of attractiveness of one or another region
from the point of view of recreation and tourism, have
certain peculiarities. Very often they are calculated
using poorly formalized and arguable indications like
psychological feeling of meteorological characteristics
and even aesthetic perception. Taking into account
above mentioned experience we have suggested a new
approach for evaluation of climatic tourist indices
basing on initial (standard 3 hour discretion)
meteorological observations with maximum possible
exclusion from a calculation scheme all subjective
parameters. Our approach is based on a well-known
method of Mieczkowski [4]. The method was
developed more than 30 ears ago and is still widely
applied. Our method allows objectively evaluate nonsmoothed
index values because it takes into account
combinations of meteorological characteristics with
maximum available discretion during the day. A
method demonstrated its capability for evaluation of regional variations in tourist attractiveness. We
analyzed 40–year dynamics of attractiveness in the
region being in the focus of the study
Considerable parts of the ablation zones of mountain
glaciers in various mountain systems of the World are
covered with rocks (dibris). Heat and physical
properties of debris layer are very different from those
of ice. Debris layer determines ablation rate and ice
run-off regime. Dependently on thickness, it can
accelerate ablation or totally isolate ice cover from
melting. To describe ablation rate in a mathematical
model correctly, one needs to include in it a block
responsible for heat exchange of debris-covered areas
with the atmosphere. In the paper, we consider an
algorithm for calculation of ablation rate under the
layer of debris, which is to be incorporated to the
surface mass balance model. We also describe results
of calculations of temperature distribution in a debris
layer and estimates of ablation rate under the latter. All
calculations were carried out for heat and physical
properties of Djankuat Glacier in the Central Caucasus
What we have analyzed in the article is the spatial
structure of the surface air temperature and
precipitation amount fields in the Black Sea Region.
Spatial correlation method is applied to reveal
teleconnections between surface air temperature and
precipitation measured at the meteorological stations
of the region from one hand and globally averaged
surface air temperature and atmospheric circulation
indecies from the other hand. Atmospheric circulation
indecies – North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and
Oscillation «North Sea – Northern Caspian Sea»
(NCP) – determine to a great extent regional
temperature and precipitation regime. The goal of the
current research is to establish probable causes and
mechanisms influencing regional climatic variations
and examining of possible connections of the latter
with the global climate change. It is demonstrated that
relations between air temperature and precipitation at
particular stations in the region and global temperature
are weak and ambigous. At the same time, temperature
and precipitation regimes are affected by changes of
phases of NAO and NCP. It means that global
warming has no direct effect on the regional climate.
More probably, global warming influences the regional
climate through the changes in the atmospheric
circulation pattern in the particular region
Within the Terek-Sunzha oil and gas region of the
Eastern Caucasus a productive sediments are clearly
expressed by the classical diapir due to the increase in
power in the arched part of the strata of the Maikop
clays. In accordance with the theory of I. M. Gubkin,
developed based on the analysis of the structure of the
oil and gas structures of mud volcanoes of Azerbaijan,
diapirism of the structure is an important prerequisite for
the formation of a mud volcano. The article provides a
comparative analysis of diapir structures of the TerekSunzha
oil and gas region of the Eastern Caucasus,
which is quasi-mud unripe volcanoes, and structures of
mud volcanoes in the South-Eastern end of the Caucasus
range (the Apsheron Peninsula and other territories of
Azerbaijan) and the North-Western end of the Caucasus
range (the Kerch and Taman Peninsula). It is shown that
the formation of diapir structure, when, in the context of
high power clay strata, is not a sufficient condition for its
transformation into a mud volcano. In such geological
conditions, it is essential to determine the capacity of
clay strata, but also the degree of its water-filled
porosity, visco-plastic and fluid-forming properties,
contributing to the transition of the breed in a phase of
active current and the coming to the surface
The methodology of evaluation of touristic
attractiveness of the Black sea coast of the Krasnodar
area is presented in this article. This method is based on
ranked assessment using statistical analysis
In the article, we consider climatic conditions during the cold period of the year in the mountain claster of
Sochi. We have analyzed variability of time series of
air temperature and precipitation sums at meteostation
Krasnaya Polyana. We have established, that average
daily temperature in the cold period was growing
during the last thirty years. This process was
accompanied by decreasing of daily temperature
amplitides. Winter of the year 2016/17 is characterized
by early beginning of snow accumulation because of
comparatively low temperatures in December 2016.
This was the reason in general for comparatively more
dense snow cover and to more frequent avalanches
Considered in the study, there are specific features and
stratigraphy of the snow cover in the region of the
mountain claster of Sochi (Krasnaya Polyana) during
winter of 2016-2017. We have analyzed patterns of
snow thickness distribution, its dependence on the absolute elevation, slope exposition and landscape
type. Conclusions were made about the necessity of
the regular study of the structure and quality of the
snow cover for the purpose of mountain skiing
development
Recently, there have been satellite-based methods
widely used to determine the coordinates of points,
which allow, without mutual visibility between
points, to pursue their coordinates. However, in
some cases, for example in forests, in urban buildings
the application of these methods becomes a
problem and it is easier to apply traditional methods.
The article describes the case of using the method of
calculation of coordinates for "the approach of Hansen"
and held to evaluate the accuracy of determining
the coordinates of the points. Some studies provide
only recommendation guidelines that the most
accurate results are obtained when the shape of the
building is shaped similar to a square. In our case, on
the basis of obtained formulae we had an analysis of
the influence of the length of the corresponding base,
and its distance from the source side on the accuracy
of determination of coordinates of the original
points. The conclusion is that the accuracy of determination
of coordinates of required points depends
on the ratio of the length of the original basis and the
baseline. The optimal can be considered the distance
equal to 0.3-0.6 of the length of the baseline. The
holding data in the study can successfully be used
for the drafting of geodetic reference polygonometries
moves and thickening of networks
It is assumed that in the primordial state of the Universe
was missing the elements of matter, it was submitted to
electromagnetic photon field in a broad frequency band.
Photons with energy ε=1,02 born MeV electrons and
positrons, and photons with energy ε=1,87 born ÐœeV
protons and antiprotons. The Association of protons,
electrons and essential spectrum of photons created a
sustainable hydrogen atoms and neutrons. Association
of hydrogen atoms led to the creation of hydrogen
clusters, and merging neutron – neutron creation of
clusters (pulsars). As a result, the concentration of
photons in the Universe decreased and the universe
were compressed. The gravitational interactions
between the hydrogen and neutron clusters was coming
off of a mass of matter from both. The torn mass of
hydrogen clusters were created on the planet.
Separation of the mass from neutron clusters led to the
neutron exposure of the main hydrogen clusters and
loose parts from him (future planets). The latter, being
closer to the main hydrogen accumulation, under the
influence of neutron flux were redesigned to all
elements of the periodic table. The article describes
nuclear reactions convert one chemical element to
another. After irradiation of the primary hydrogen
clusters of neutrons and the emergence of the heavy and
superheavy hydrogen, started fusion reactions with the
release of photon energy and the transition of hydrogen
clusters in Stellar condition. They began to glow. The
selection of the photon energy of the Stars led to the
increase in the concentration of photons in the
Universe, the increase of the pressure and the expansion
of the Universe, which is what happens at the present
stage of its development. Combining antiprotons,
electrons (positrons) with the required spectrum of
photons created sustainable antihydrogen and
antineutrons, and their clusters – clumps of antimatter
in the Universe
Prospects of development of oil-extracting branch of the Krasnodar region are connected with continuation of prospecting works and search drilling in a zone of transit of the Kuban River and water areas of the Black and Azov seas. In the existing normative documents about technical researches we didn't find reflection of the rule of works on platforms of capital construction of wells on the earth and in transitional conditions. The technique of studying of engineering-geological features of territories of oil and gas fields is offered. Regional and zone factors of engineering-geological conditions of oil and gas fields are established. Engineering-geological structures are allocated. Additional types of technical researches are defined
