Abstract :
The study of correlations between the total runoff of rivers Charysh and Chumysh
(Altai Krai) for the spring-summer period and the snow reserves was carried out based on
the long-term observation data. The analysis of correlations veracity was performed. For
both rivers, the correlation coefficient depended on the integration time interval; and such
dependences had two peaks. The comparative analysis of the mentioned above relationships
suggests that the correlation coefficient is dependant on the pairwise location of weather and
gauging stations.
